At the PLAY.

The young man had seen the play
before. He let everybody for four
seats around him know that, he kept
telling just whe+ was coming, and how
funny it would be when it did come.
At length he said:
did you ever try listening to play
with your eyes shut? You've no idea
how queer it seems -
A middle aged man with red face
sat just in front He twisted himself
about in his seat and glared at the
young man.
Young man." said he, "did you ever
try listening to play with your
mouth shut?'
The silence that followed was pain
full.

Merry in Adversely.

In the city Of Berlin the other day a
woman entered tramcar, carrying a
number of gas balloons, which she in
tended to sell. She was sitting in her
seat musing over trade depression
and other matters, when there was a
loud explosion, sheet of flame, and
the balloons were no more. A man
with a cigar had jumped in, and one
Of the balloons had bumped against
the lighted end. When the merchant
had extinguished herself and such
others of the passengers who were in
flames, she observed with a merry
smile that she had never known her
stock to go off so quickly before

Easy to Hire Special Trains.

At any of the big railroad terminals
in city now man can get special
engine and car to chase flyer almost
AS easily as he can check his trunk.
Only few minutes notice is required
and right -of-way is obtained for 100
or 200 miles along the line without
noticeably disturbing scheduled runs.
A man who has had to keep an i'm

tell the following story Of his grand"
son: A colored woman whose skin
was very black came to the house one

the woman's skin to be so black.

his mother.

since served five years, which,
with the time allowed for good
conduct, is more than equivalent
to the fifteen years sentence,
hence the presi dents action.

LIKES PRESCOTT.

Jack Tanning, the crack shot, who has been visiting Prescott for the past two days, left this morning for visit to Jerome where he will give an ex- hibition of what "infallible" powder, when properly directed, will do. During the two days he remained in Prescott he was Loyalty entertained by the members of the local gun club. and he fell in love with Prescott. He is loud in praise of the hospitality of our people and the good reception he received, and says he has not visited city in the west that has so pleased him in every respect.
 The exhibition shoot he gave the first day was under such disadvan- tages that the club decided to have another shoot yesterday evening at 4 o'clock, the result of which could not be obtained before the Journal Miner went to press. Mir. Tanning did some very clever work, as the weather wa. good giving him an opportunity to show himself.

TRIUMPH OF CAPITAL.
An Album to be Prepared Showing
 Arizona's Progress.

Next Sunday night W. R. Hum- phries, the we'll known mining pho- tographer, accompanied by his wife, will leave for Yuma, Arizona, to be- gin the work of preparing one of the most complete and exhaustive photo graph albums of Arizona that has ever been attempted.
 Mir and Mrs Humphries will begin, as above stated, in Yuma, photograph ing every point of interest in that county, and especially every mining camp or enterprise which has been developed by capital, it being the ob- ject of this album to show people in the east just what capital has done in Arizona as a proof of what it may reasonably be expected to do in the future.
 From Yuma they will proceed right along the entire southern part of the territory as far east as Lordsburg. N NJ. making hundreds of pictures After completing the southern tour they will return north along the San ta Fe and Grand Canyon, visiting every town and mining camp of any importance in the north. They eX- pect to reach Yavapai county about the first of May, when the vegetation is in all its beauty, the trees in full leaf and the mountain sides and dells are carpeted with wild flowers.
 This idea was conceived and is be- ing carried out by the American De- velopment company, which has many millions of dollars invested in Ari- ZOna and is today eXerting one of the greatest influences in building up the territory of any company in existence. This company is the one which is building the great Poland tunnel and owns the Congress mine in this coun- ty, also is behind the Tombstone Con solidated M. and NJ. company, which is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in putting these wonderful properties in shape to resume opera tions.
 The company deserves the grati- tude of the entire territory for this undertaking. which will involve a cost of several thousand dollars. as the good which will result from it cannot be estimated.
 No better man could have been se- lected to make such a compilation of views than Mir. Humphries, who has given ample evidence of his ability in that line by many views which he has taken in this section.
 When all the views have been SC lected for the album it will contain probably 2000 or more pictures, and large number of these books, with eX- plantations of the views will he printed and distributed all through the east.

IMAM MOTH
 ENTERPRISE
Cataract Canyon to Be Scene of Extensive Operations By United
 Gold and Platinum Company.
J. B. Girand, GiVI EngInesr of Pres. colt, Selected as Chief Engineer
 of the Great Undertaking.

Prescott is about to lose one of hel
 valued citizens and his excellent fam, fly. J. B. Girand the we'll known and
 able civil engineer has accepted the
 position of chief engineer of the
 United Gold and Platinum company and will assume the duties of his office February l, although he does not ex-
 pect to get his business in shape to leave Prescott until some time later. His contract with the above company is for the period of three years.
 The company is a solid and substan- tial one, with an abundance of capital back of it to accomplish anything it undertakes, and is under the manage ment of H. J. Beemer the well known railroad builder, who has probably built more miles of railroad than any other man on this continent.
 The work which Mir. Girand will have charge of will be the building of a fifty ton shelter in Cataract Can yon, and the construction of a Blei- chert single track tramway from the rim of the canyon down to the smelter site for the transportation of machin- cry.
 The shelter is a late invention of Dr. Henig, a celebrated chemist for merly in the employ of the Krupps in Germany, and at present the chemist for the Vanderbilts. The shelter is specially designed for smelting ores containing platinum.
 A thorough and exhaustive examin- ation has been made of the ores of the Cataract country, the result of which is the inauguration of these ex- tensive improvements.
 The shelter will be located just be- low Beaver Falls, and about nine miles below the Supai village, below both Bridal Veil and Mooney Falls. The water which pOurs over Beaver Falls in an immense volume will be for furnishing power for the plant, by means of a turbine wheel.
 When the shelter is completed and in operation. an electric railroad will be constructed from some point on the Santa Fe or Grand Canyon rail road to the plant for the transporta- ton of supplies for the plant and for the product out.
 The enterprise calls for the expendi- ture of large sum of money, but it las already been provided for, and the plans will be carried into execution ust as rapidly as possible.
 MT. Girand will have charge of the | entire construction work, which is the | ,ause of his being compelled to move way from Prescott with his family. l He expects to also take his entire office force with him.
 The position is one of great respon- ability and Mir Girand is to be con ,ratulated on having been selected to | ,arry it out, but there is no doubt of l lis ability to carry it through to a | uccessful continuation. It is one of | he largest enterprises projected in | he territory.
