ed large increase in pay. The men
asked for an increase of 20 per cent but
the company compromised at a smaller
rate. The old scale gave the freight
conductors 8 cents a mile and the
freight brakemen 2h cents mile. The
new rate gives the conductors Is per
cent increase when north of the Ohio
River and IL per cent south Of the
same line. The old scale gave the pas
senger conductors between $50 and $125
a. month, and the brakemen from $45
to $40. The new rate increases this IL
per cent for those working north of
the Ohio and per cent south Of it.

Water for Mining, Plentiful.

The generally accepted opinion
that in Arizona and Nevada there
is an extreme deficiency OF water
supply is one that needs some mod
ifcation. It is true that these are
arid countries, so Ear as surface
water and precipitation are con-
cerned, excepting in some of the
higher mountain regions where
SHOWS are usually heavy. But
mining development has demon
strated that the underground sup
ply is as generous in those states
as it is elsewhere, though it often
requires some expenditure of mon
ey to control it. About as many
pumps are required in the mines of
those sections as elsewhere. At
Globe, Pearce, Tombstone, Bisbee,
Gold Roads and in the Bradshaws,
Arizona, the mines have water to
handle. Those at Pearce, Globe,
and Tombstone have had to pro-
vide expensive pumping facilities.
At Douglas, that portion of the
great Sulphur Springs seems un-
derlaid with an inexhaustible basin
of water, which is tapped at depths
varying from 40 to 200 feet. The
dry mines Of Arizona appear to be
few in number, among which are
the Congress in Yavapai and the
Fortuna in Yuma county, but these
are provided with water supply by
pumping and piping it short dis
tance. At De Lamar, Nevada, wa
ter has to be pumped twelve to tif-
teen miles, and Tonopah's supply
also comes from points outside of
the district, but greater depths may
open supply nearer home. But
in Searchlight, three mills are op-
Grating and using the mine water
for mill work. On the Comstock,
at Virginia city, at Ely, Eureka,
Winnemucca and Cherry Greek
there is no dearth of water for
steam use and mill work. AS
rule the mine water in those sec
tions is not Objectionable for steam
boilers, though in some particular
cases it may be so.-Denver
Mining Reporter.

Iron Springs Picnic.

On last Saturday large crowd
of Phoenix people went to Iron
springs on an outing, under the
auspices OF the Phoenix Sunday
schools. The train was crowded
too full for utterance when it
reached here, but about forty
Wickenburgers were not to be de.
tered from q days pleasure by a
little thing like having to stand
up on the train, SO they joined the
jolly party. Thus increased, the
crowd was supposed to be over
eight hundred. The train was
chartered by the Sunday school
people, and very small fee was
charged for the trip. 1t seems to
US that it would be better for such
excursions if the railroad company
would limit the number of people
to the car in such a case as this,
for we have heard q number of
people say that small children
were compelled to ride in places of
danger. This was the only ln-
pleasant feature of the excursion.
The crowd was jolly and did not
care where they rode nor how long
they stood up.
Those joining the party from
here were: Messrs. and Mesdames
John Sayers, J. c. Reed, J. c. Col
Inns, J. r. Dunn, N. J. Hale, Thos.
Etter, r. w. Baxter, Mesdames
Gibson and Widmeyre, Misses
Pearl Thomas, Josie Caps, Leila
Holt, Bertha Bachtiger, Nellie
Roberts, Anna Belle Roberts, Lola
Olin, Messrs. Claude Burson, Pedro
Garcia, Felipe Garcia, VIM. Carter.
VIM. Murray, "A. +. Fuerstein, JAS.
Pryor, Lee, Dick and Sidney Rob-
erts, Archie Olin, Chas. Case and
H. Farnsworth. And if we have
overlooked any one it is mistake
of the head and not of the heart.
The bill of fare was made up of
the best goodies in the land and
was seasoned by a liberal sprinkle
of Iron springs sand, as the wind
happened to blow little just about
eating time, but then a little sand
in picnic chuck only adds a relish.
The folks who stayed at home
and took care of affairs are not
mentioned in this list, and in order
to appease them for their disap-
pointment we will say that they
were probably doing as much for
their country as those who went
along, and in ali probability en-
joyed the day just as much.

duyker to die natural death, but
he was, 80 far:: as the narrator had
been able to ascertain, the only one
to land with his outfit on the Shin.
ing Shore. When the pioneer pros
pector had been there q long. long
while, another miner knocked for
admission.
"You can't come in," said the
good man at the gate; "we have
one miner here now, and he has
ruined the streets. Turn a corner
suddenly on the way to choir prac-
tice and you'll fall into prospect
hole. Besides, he is ever dissatis-
fed. No matter how good the claim,
he will abandon it and go grub
bing in another place. No, you
can't come in"
"Now, see here, Pete," said the
applicant, 'I'm no parachute
jumper, and I don't want to take
chances on q long drop. You let
me in, and I'll not only agree not
to work myself, but I'll undertake
to git that duck out o. these Dig
gings inside of an hour. You don't
know me. Pm o miner, all right,
but I don't do no work. Pm the
walkin' boss-see?"
CAL right" said Peter, turning
the key slowly, "but if you fail,

The newcomer peered down the
shaft where the restless prospector
was working and coughed. He
picked up a pearl and let it fall on
the miners wing and the miner
looked up.
"What have you got?" asked the
man at the top.
"Four walls OF solid gold," re-
piled the prospector.

crouching close to the shaft and
shading his mouth with one hand,
"have you heard Of the new diggin's

"No-what's it like2"
"Well, I've seen them bottling

"Is that straight goods you are
giving me?"
"It is, oh benighted brother, and

In precisely thirty-eight minutes
from the advent of the newcomer
the prospector was out and the
walking boss had jumped his claim.

Dick Wick Hall, Prospector
and Deer.killer, or?

Our esteemed predecessor, Mr..
Hall, had Il most common expert
ence, last week. He was out pros
pecting along the bottom of deep
gulch, and hearing a noise on the
crags above him, he cast a glance
hitherward just in time to see
large buck leap from the rocks up.
on him. Dick wick had pick and
a shovel in his hands. He had
barely time to resign his spirit to
its master before the sharp hoofed
and long horned brute was upon
him. Our hero dropped his shovel
but he clung to the pick Thus
he has gained the name of Dick
Pick Wick. So, Dick Pick Wick
with his pick to the fight did stick
and deer and Dick Wick Pick Hick
became very thick quick. At first
the "prospicter" thought the wick"
was to the cervus. His thoughts
were fitting rapidly. Deeds of the
past rose up before him. His men
tai retina was blurred with visions
OF broken hearted and bro ken
spirited men, carrying green tables
and small concave wheels with
pockets inflated with various col
ored discs; and instantaneously
small adobe house, q gaunt, gray
minister rushing down church
aisle in an endeavor to clasp the
hand of q tall, nervous cigarette
fiend. and while almost smothered
by flying bits of linen and deer
hair, these visions are replaced by
by dozen heart broken teary-eyed
dears who were almost smothered
by their own dear =disheveled hair.
Vision after vision fitted across
the mind of this Pickwickdickian
battler with dears.
He made up his mind hastily, to
spend his dying groan in an effort
to square himself with the powers
that be. Just then his deership
backed off for q finishing blow and
thus Dick Wick picked the deer be-
tween the eyes. The deer rolled
over dead. The victor drew long
breath and looked about him. He
found himself drowsy and dazed
and as soon as he began to look for
that deer, discovered that he was
in camp, and the cans boxes, and
camp furnishings were scattered
and broken as if tornado had been
playing hide and seek in the tent,
and on attempting to walk he found
that he had struck himself on the
shin with some pointed instrument
and the other boys arrived just in
time to hear him VOW "never to get
drunk any more" This story was
told to a News-Herald man by Mr..
A. f. LEVEL, whose word we have
never heard doubted.

NOTES AND COMMENT.


milk factory.
If a newspaper is worth publish
ing, 1t is worth paying for.
Why do the bogus-check men Sc
lect Phoenix for their operations
Iron in the blood is a good thing,
but it should be tempered by kind
ness and wisdom.
Selfishness carries men farther
from the right path of life than
anything else.
The Daily Mining Record says
"Amen" to our advocacy of a min
ers' organization.
A. man never gets more than he
pays for, in this life. Through
toollshness he often gets less.
The man who evades the burdens
of life which fortune has made him
able to bear, is indeed q miser.
A phenomenally rich strike has
been made near Pearce. Great ex-
citement is reported in that por-
ton of Cochise county.
No man has a right to ostenta-
tious luxury if his possession of it
necessarily robs some other person
of his needs.
Have you ever added up the deb
it side of life? There is no realm
of life where you can fairly ignore
the cost of life.
The person who seeks any desir-
able end by short cuts OF easy
methods, must of necessity fail
utterly.
The Southwestern StocKman,
published by Mrs. c. w. Pugh, in
Phoenix, has reached it's twentieth
year. May it never die.
The Presbyterian church is pre-
pairing to revise it's creed. 1t may
need it, but We do not speak from
certain conviction.
The great state of Texas is about
to "pass up" the St. Louis exposi-
ton. Texas legislators are penny
wise and pound foolish.
The national civic federation is
trying to settle whole lot of i'm
pending strikes, before they occur.
An ounce of prevention, etc.
The Federal Salt company, OF
San Francisco, has been convicted
of being q trust, and will be fined
not more than $4,000.
The Texas state bankers will
hold their annual meeting next
year in Ell Paso. This is about as
near Arizona as they can get and
not leave Texas.
The public official who serves
only for himself and clique, must
always go to the wall in favor Of
him who offers large service for the
betterment of mankind.
The Phoenix advertiser who says
"wives, keep at your husbands"
certainly is not married man, or
else he has no regard for the Col
den Rule.
"Landless men for a manless
land" sounds good. but there are
few in Wickenburg who would par
aphrase it to read "manless woman
for womanless man."
Because Mr.. Hartman had a
we'll, call it pain in the stomach
he thought he had appendicitis.
Common folks would find a COM
mon name for the same complaint.
When Senator Blackburn of Ken
lucky opened his splenetic mouth
against the mountaineers of Ken
lucky he was throwing stones at
thousands of people who are thou
sand times his betters.
