A DRINKING Fountain.

The ladies of the w. G. T. u.
began planning for the erection of a
fountain several months ago, but
serious illness in the homes of some
of the members hindered for a time.
Other enterprising cities have such
fountains, and we should not be
lacking in such humane enterprises.
1t is not only convenience but q
necessity. 1t should commend it.
self to our business men to make
provision for the comfort of those
who come to trade and do business
in our city, some have already
given assurance of encouragement
and financial support. Among
them we are glad to mention the
name of the late Capt. L. p. Mar
tin, who in his life time promised
a donation and made provision for
it in his will. 1T is desired that
this shall be in the true sense a
popular enterprise by the people,
and for the people. Let all have a
part, men, women and children,
and the dimes of the children may
have a place as we'll as the dollars
of men and women. 1t is hoped to
make this fountain ga thing of
beauty" and an ornament, as we'll
as an act of charity; and it our
desire that it shall be an object
lesson, teaching greater kindness
to our accomplishing friends, the
dump animals, and more considera-
ton for their comfort. 1t is our
purpose to press the enterprise in
order that it may be completed
before the coming of the heat and
dust of summer. Let the good
work be encouraged. Contribu-
tions will be gratefully received by
any of the ladies named herewith

Rothwell in a hack, but walked up
the mountain, prompted largely by
mercy toward the team. The roads
through the mountains are now
very bad-in places dangerous

Our stay was pleasant and we
Jared sumptuously.
The attendance at court was
small. There were no criminal
cases to be tried. There were a
few cases of concealed weapons,
taking whiskey from a mans peck
ct, shooting at dog and selling
without license, etc.
We are pleased to testify that
from Monday II o'clock to Wednes-
day afternoon we saw no drunk or
apparently drinking men. We pre-
sumo there was a bottle here and
there for the initiated, but Meme
fee county has no licensed saloon
to contribute to her shame and
poverty and to increase a criminal
docket. We wish we could say the
same for Montgomery county.
Perhaps men will afterawhile re-
alize that duty to their fellow men
and then quit the whiskey
business. How can man rest
easy when he knows that this bus
mess is damnation?
We take this opportunity to say
that we have recently been invited
by the proper officials to make the
race for the Legislature on the
Prohibition ticket in the district
composed of the counties of Mont
gomery and Menefee.
For 26 years we have been to-
tai abstainer and with voice and
pen used our influence in behalf of
temperance. Other men are emit
tied to their views, as we are to
ours. Whatever privilege we (as
a christian) have to use intoxicants
we prefer to deny ourselves for the
good our example may have on
others. We would rejoice to know
that every man in this district who
claims to be a follower of the Christ
would decline to enter a saloon for
the purpose of drinking, would re-
fused to drink intoxicants (unless
upon recommendation of doctor }
and would do something to create
a public spirit, fraught with love,
against the manufacture, sale and
use of such beverages.

Have Begun Active Work

Active work has begun on the White Tate Woodman group near Solomon Springs. A two-conpartment shaft is being sunk and large force of men are employed.
 The group consists of 24 claims and was recently sold to the Pittsburg peo pie for s150,00O. It joins the Solomon Springs Copper Company for 5000 feet o. the north.
 It is the intention of the company to sink l,0O0 feet and then crosscut to the ledge which shows on the surface. Mir. White, one of the owners, states that ledge of copper ore was discovered on the surface two feet wide, which averaged 45 per cent. copper, besides its gold and silver values. A whim will be used at present until the arrival of the machinery which has all eady been ordered. P Tom Tate, one of the former own CTS, is superintendent, and will have charge of the work.
 The incorporation is being rapidly completed and will be in readiness in a few days.
