The reception given last night by Golden Rule Chapter, Order Eastern Star, to Mrs. Mae Swetnam, Grand Worthy Matron of the order was a very pleasant and enthusiastic affair.
 The members turned out in full force to welcome their grand officer. As she entered the lodge she was re- oeived by the members standing when she took her position beside the worthy matron of the lodge, and the opening work of the order was gone through. Mrs. John Merritt, worthy matron of the chapter, presided over the meeting in a very able manner Mrs. Swetnam delivered a very elo- quent address, and Mrs. May Zuck Fine rendered a vocal solo in such sweet and pleasing manner that she was heartily encored. At the conclu- sion of the exercises the chapter re- solved itself into social session and a very enjoyable time was had for some time, during which elaborate were served.

only need amalgamating, it being ab- solutely free milling, and what values are lost on the plates will be saved by cyaniding the tailings. There are some streaks of iron suIphides coming in the ore body in the lower workings below water level, however, and it may be necessary later on to add con- centrating tables.
 The ledge is a true Assure vein running from 30 to 30 feet in width, and lies in a belt of metamorphosed granite, being accompanied by dioryte and porphyry, indicating that the ore vein continues to great depth. The croppings of the vein can be traced clear across the property and for thou sands of feet along the mountain side. Near the north end of the property, where most of the work has been done, there is a junction of two strong veins, and as the vein is trace south it is joined by four other feed CTS, and it is the belief of some that these feeders carry very high values, and when the ledge is opened up on the south end of the claim a very large and rich body of ore will be brought to light Some of the crop pings of the ledge near the present workings have assayed as high as s2OO in gold.
 The company which has recently been organized to develop the proper ty is composed of the following gen. tlemen: President, T. H. Smith of Canton, Ohio,, and ex-treasurer of Stark county; vice president, David Reed, wealthy glass manufacturer, of Massilon, Ohio; secretary and treasurer, Dr. Paul B. Kirchhofer, city treasurer of Massilon, Ohio. The directors are: Royal Snyder, present treasurer of Stark county; Mike Ober- lin, auditor of same county; Ed s. Campbell, practical miner and min ing man, of Prescott, Arizona. MT. Campbell is the general manager, while Earnest Childers, for a number of years foreman of the Gladstone mine, will be foreman, which assures that the work will be done in a prop CT manner.
 There is this noticible feature of this property that it has nothing of the wild cat nature about it, but is a straight, business proposition, and the mine is there so that anyone can go and look at it for themselves, and with the management that is promised for the property, there is no reason why it should not be a steady pro- ducer and good paying proposition.

Teacher a Diplomat.

A pupil of the Phenix public school hit a passing Chinaman with block of wood cutting a great gash in his head. Only few of the pupils saw the occurrence. While the teacher did not want to encourage tale bear ing, the offense was too great to let pass, so he adopted a novel but suc- cessfql method of ascertaining the name of the guilty boy and at the same time to shield the informer.
 He waited till after the last recess in order to let the story circulate among the children as much as pOssi- ble. Then he visited several of the larger rooms.
 In each room he made a little talk about the wounding of the Chinaman and said he wanted to know who the guilty boy was. He said the school had been disgraced and it was the duty of each right minded child to help discover the culprit. He illus trated his idea by saying that if the father of any child were walking down the street and saw a thief enter a house it would be his duty to arrest him or call an officer who could arrest him. Then he told the children that each one bore the same relationship to the school that their fathers did to the community.
 Then in order to preserve secrecy and protect each one from the charge of tattling he passed each pupil a piece of paper and asked him to write on it the name of the guilty boy if he saw him throw the block. If he did not see him do it and had been told by another who the guilty boy was, he was asked to name the boy inform ed upon and the name of the inform ant. In other words to tell only what he knew and how he knew it, so the evidence could te given its proper value.
 The result of the investigation was that ten of the pupils named one par ticular boy, and no pupil named any other boy.

BOWLING ALLEY
 FOR PRESCOTT
It Will Be Opened For
 Business Tomorrow.
Attractive Up-tO-Date and Modern Resort For Exercise and AmuSe-
 ment Combined.

A Journal Miner man dropped into the building next to the Odd Fellows hall this morning and took a look at the new bowling alley which the workmen are just completing, and found all hands on the hustle to get things in apple pie order for the open ing which will take place tomorrow evening at : 30 o'clock.
 The building was leased few weeks lgo by the Mccoy brothers, who are we'll known as enterprisine and rust ling gentlemen, and they at once be- gan the work of englargIng the build ing and fixing it up for a fine bowl ing alley and lunch and confectionery room. The room was heightened out until the building is now about 130 feet in length and about thirty feet of the front of this will be occupied by Mansfield & Nolan with a stand where fine lunch, ice cream, oysters, coffee, soft drinks, cigars, etc., will be served. The 100 feet back of this will be utilized by the bowling alley and spectators stand. The bowling alley, or alleys, for there are three of them running parallel, are of the reg ulation size in every particular, and are as good as can be built at any price. They have been built and put in place by the Brunswick, Balk Col lender company, under the personal direction of John Funston, their Los Angeles agent, who has travelled all over the United States installing these alleys from New York to Los Angeles and he pronounces the alleys just completed to be as good as can be put in. The alleys and return ways are all constructed of the finest maple wood that grows, and they certainly are beauties and look at them would make a bowling enthusiast out of any one.
 Seats will be provided back of the return way for spectators and all will be welcome to visit and watch the games at all times without charge.
 The bowling department will be un- de the charge of c. W. Buttner, nephew of the Mccoy brothers, who thoroughly understands the manner of conducting this popular game, and everything will berun on a strictly up to date and proper manner, and ad mirers of the game will always find the management obliging, courteous, and everything will be made as pleas ant as possible.
 Private lockers will be provided where for few cents month a per son can keep their private effects safe ly locked up.
 The first match game will be played Sunday afternoon between two teams the captains of which will be B. l.. Mccoy and Mir Sharpneck. Mir. Me Coy is quite an expert at the game and Mir Sharpneck was captain of the Sheridan team in Chicago for nearly four years and is said to be an expert, so the game promises some fine work.

New Raj! invented.

J. c. Allendorph, of Kansas City, and at one time Santa Fe conductor with Hutchinson as his home, has re- gently invented a steel rail which may replace the standard rail now in use on the railroads in the United States.
 The new rail has been shown to 300 railroad operating officials and they have pronounced it a more practical rail than the one now in use.
 The present rail is five and one half inches high and has five and one half inch base. It is solid. MT. AL lendorph's rail is four inches high and has six inch base. It is a hol- low rail. Another improvement, which some officials consider the best part of the invention is the device for connecting the rails. Instead of the fish plates now in use the rail is join ed by means of a plate two feet long, six inches wide and carrying an up- right the length of the plate which fits into the hollow of the two rails to be connected. A complete and satis- factory connection is readily made.
 The particular advantage of the in- vention is that it will prevent the many accidents which are attributed to Spreading rails. !" hs matter oi fact the phrase "spreaii"g rails" is a misnomer. The train in striking the rail rounding a curve forces the rail over and upside down, causing a wreck. With the height of the rail reduced from five and one half to four inhces and resting on a broader base than the present standard rail the chance for an accident from spreading rails" is greatly mini mixed, if not entirely eliminated.
 The present standard rail carries 90 pounds to the yard Mir. Allen dorph's rail carries but " pounds to the yard. With steel at the present quotation, S28 a ten, there is differ ence in cost in favor of the Allen dorph rail of S571. .76 mile. Mir. AL lendorph is confident of securing the adoption of the rail by the larger sys- tems of the country, MT. Allendorph has been railroading for twenty years. -Albuquerque Journal-Democra

TO RECLAIM AN EMPIRE.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says that President Roosevelt did not ex- aggerate the importance of the na- tiOnal irrigation act when he said in his letter to the irrigation congress that ''it was the beginning of an achievement so great that we hesitate to predict the outcome.
 The act of June r, 1902, applies to fully two fifths of the entire area of the continental United States. The arid region begins very near the middle of the continent and stretches westward close to the Pacific. 4 line running through the western ends of the two Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas and striking the Texas panhandle marks the eastern boundary of the section which requires artificial moist ure in order to render it capable of cultivation with success. From that line onward over the Rocky moun- tains to within a few hundred miles of the Pacific most of the country has rainfall below the normal of agri- cultural regions. All that vast stretch of land comprising parts of sixteen states and territories and a majority of some of them will be under the operation of the irrigation law.
 It has been estimated that the irri- gation policy will add 10000, 600 or 30, GOO, GOO to the number of people that the western half of the country will be able to support. Experiments have proven that lands which can be irrigated freely will be double as pro- q .o,ive as the average of the lands in tha humid region. The requisite amount of moisture which they will be able to secure will give them a great advantage over the lands which get too much of it in one year and not enough of it in the next.

AN EVENING OF
 MUSIC AND SONG Interesting Programme Excellently Rendered. Prescott Adds Some New and Bril- liant Stars to Her Musical
 Armament.

The entertainment given last even- ing by ars. May Zuck Fine was one of the most charming that has been given in Prescott for many months. Mrs. Fine is an accomplished musi- clan, being both cultured vocalist and finished pianist and her program was most admirably arranged and ex cellently carried out The opening piece was vocal solo, "A Fair White Flower" by Miss Jessie l.. Drsis, and was very sweetly rendered. Dr. and Mrs Smith were on the program for the second number, for violin and piano duet, but being absent the num- Der was filled by Miss Grace Hilgen, young lady from California, who is the guest of Mrs. Thos. Smith. She elicited a most enthusiastic encore from the audience for the deftness and accurary with which she manipulated the keys. Mrs. Fine rendered three vocal solos during the evening to each of which she received an encore. Her second number was GA Dream of Par adise," to which in addition to the piano accompaniment by Mrs. B. H. Smith, there was violin obligato by E. Emanuel.
 Mir. Logan captivated the audience with his full rich and we'll cultivated voice in a vocal solo, and was heartily encored. MT. Logan has been a pro- fessional in the past and the fact was clearly apparent from the utterance of his first note.
 Mrs. Berenice E. Amann gave a reel tation which was humorous and high ly pleasing to the audience, and in which she very ably demonstrated her elocutionary ability. The audience re- ceived it with prolonged applause but Mrs. Amann very modestly de- clined the encore. A quartette com posed of tMesdames Talbot, Corbin, Fine and Miss Drais rendered Be hind the Lattice" very sweetly and Willis Grander received an encore to a cOrnet solo. Mir. Grander is not only very successful director of a band but as cOrnet soloist, he stands in the front rank of musicians. Mrs. Robert Talbot gave a vocal solo, ''I Promise Thee" and was also the re- cipient of an encore. This young lady has a most pleasing and charm ingly sweet voice, although during her years residence here she has not favored the pulic often with an oppor- tunity of hearing it. She intends leav- ing in a few days for the east to reside, but if she were to remain here it is quite certain that she would win great popularity among our music loving people as she certainly captivated her auditors last evening. Seldom has more universal praise been heard of an entertainment as a whole than was expressed last night. At the conclu- | sion of the program dancing was in dulged in until midnight affording additional pleasure to all who remain ed to enjoy it.

The union miners hearing of it posted five men on the trail to the miEe in order to prevent the strike committee from approaching it to call out the men. The strike was called in opposition to the wishes of the men affected by it, and the latter refused to leave their jobs.

Ohio, with a municipal lighting system, has cleared S33, 79O in four years, over the cost of lighting and keeping ill repair the city lights, which leads the Albuquerque Journal Democrat to remark that municipal ownership of public utilities, when the management thereof can be di- vorced from politics, is invariably a paying proposition. Prescott has been struggling along with municipal ownership of water works Flor nearly twenty years, and while there has been no politics connected with its management the balance sheet has al ways been against the city.
