MINING INTELLIGENCE.

Ed Block has just returned from a visit of several days to the Merchants Mining company's property ID the Big Bug district. He reports every thing progressing there very satisfac- torily both in the mine and on the surface. The boarding house is com pleted and the boys gave a dance in it last Saturday night. Another of the buildings is also approaching comple- tion so that the company will soon have ample and comfortable accommo- dations for its employees. During Mr Blocks visit the machinery for the big hoist for the property was hauled from the depot to the mine, It took ten animals to transport the machinery, Freighter Blankenship and Frank Lecklider combining their freighting outfits to get if up to the property. The foundation for the hoist has been graded and all that re- mains now is to place it in position It is estimated that this will take till the first of April When this hoist is ready for operation the company will be able to make much greater progress in the development of its property. The company has also let the contract for grading the spur from the railroad to the mine. This will be used jointly with the Oriental Mining company which is operating the Postmaster mine.

Clean, N. r.. March 10.-From eighteen to twenty lives were lost and fully twice that number were burned,
 or bruised by an explosion of oil late last night, following a wreck on the Erie railroad north of this city. Ow- ing to the fact that some of the bodies were incinerated or blown into the creek by the explosion the exact num- Der of the dead will probably not be known for several days. An Erie freight train, composed largely of tank cars, filled with oil and gaso- line, broke in two on a hill two miles north of this city. The forward part was brought to standstill at the foot of the hill, when the rear cars gathering momentum as they rushed down the hill crashed into the front cars. The impact was terrific. One of the tank cars caught fire soon after the collision, supposedly from a spark struck from the grinding pieces of

DEATH OF D. K. ST. CLAIR.
Passes Away This Morning at an Early Hour After Pro-
 tracted Illness.

David K. St. Clair passed peace fully away from the cares of this Tiff, about 6 o'clock this morning after al illness which had extended over sev, eral years, but which for the past three or four months had kept hin confined to his bed most of the time.
 MT. St. Clair was born in Virginia Dec. 24, 1860, and was consequently 43 years of age at his death. He leaves, beside his devoted wife, a father and one sister who now reside in St. Louis, Mo.
 He came to Prescott in 1900, hoping to regain his health which had been poor for some time. For a couple of ysars be seemed to be greatly improv- ed but grew worse again and passed away as above stated.
 In September, 1900, he was married, in Flagstaff, to Miss Ella Hunter, who survives him, and who, during the long weeks of his illness watched over and cared for him like a minis tering angel.
 Mir. St. Clair was one of those great hearted men to whom no one ever went in vain for help, and his friends were equal to his acquaintances, and during his sickness every care and consideration was given him.
 The funeral will be held from Lo- gan's undertaking parlors at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow, March II, and will be conducted by Rev. Bennett, of the Episcopal church.
 Mrs. St. Clair's sister, Miss Lulu Hunter, teacher in the territorial normal school at Flagstaff, was noti- fled by wire and will arrive in Pres colt tonight to attend the funeral and comfort her sister in her hours of great loss.

THE EIGHT HOUR SYSTEM.
By s. M. Wright.

By s. M. Wright. Eight hours to work and eight to
 sleep
 And eight to think and play. Would tighten the hearts in many a
 home
 That's cold and sad today. Eight hours to work and eight to
 sleep
 And eight to read and play, Would strengthen, ah many a body
 and mind
 That's dwarfed or gone astray. For life's too short to spend too much At work or sleep or play; We'd better devote one-third to each ; Twill rengthen much our stay. The woman or man who works too
 much,
 Will fail in health and fun; They always expect to take their ease But, never get begun. The woman or man who sleeps too
 much,
 Grows slack in body and mind; They have a desire to be in the lead, Yet always lag behind. The woman or man who plays too
 much,
 Don't have great depth of brain, Or if they do their ballast too light Don't steady what they gain. The chronic who reads his books too
 much,
 Don't practice what he knows; He piles up knowledge quite noun
 tain high.
 While practical talent goes. The man peculiar who thinks too
 much
 Just hold your glass on him; He'll better the world but die too
 soon,
 This man so hungry and thin. But who is to blame for over work, Which robs of time and sleep? Is the philosopher not yet born To tell why life's so cheap?

 It is reported that one of the largest
 mining deals that has taken place or Groom creek or Lynx creek, for 6 long time, has been consummated whereby group of Isixteen well known mining claims has become the property of a we'll known mining man. The Journal Miner has been warned under penalty of death to not men, tion any name in connection with the sale for few days, so you will have to guess who the parties are. The properties, however, are not far from the famous Midnight Test mine

 D. J. Sullivan informs the Journal Miner that he has put force of men at work on the properties of the Unit ed Gold Mines company near Con gress, and that letter from Superin- tendent Dennis May states that work is progressing in fine shape. Three men in one shaft on the Alaska group are taking out a ton of ore per day which averages about s65 or S70 to the ton, while select samples of the ore runs as high as s286 in gold with few ounces of silver. MT. Sullivan is in high spirits over the future of the of the company and says he believes they have the making of one of the biggest mine properties in Ya- vapai county.

A REMARKABLE CASE.

One of the most remarkable cases of a cold, deep seated on the lungs, causing pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gertrude E. Fenner, Marion, Ind, One Minute Cough Cure. She says: ''The coughing and straining so weakened me that I run down in weight from 14S to 92 pounds. I tried a number of remedies to no avail un- til 1 used One Minute Cough Cure. Four bottles of this wonderful remedy cured me entirely of the cough, strengthening my lungs and restored me to my normal weight, health and strength. ''

BURTON,S PLAN

Kansas is ever fertile in theories.

and the attention of a drowsy Prov.

hard times come and prices decline

flourishes and the grasshopper becomes
a burden; when banks break and
mortgages multiply and markets fail
and all Kansas answers to the report
OF the Spies as "a land that devours
It's inhabitants" then your Kansan
sheds his little light and explains
how the farmers might store their
products in warehouses and live on
advancements if only Uncle Sam
would build the warehouses and make
the advancements.
And now distressed by the food.
Kansas again comes to the front with
a theory. Senator Burton is sowing
seed into good ground to bring forth

PHARISAISM.

The people Of the South are per.
miuting themselves TO be ANNOYED too
much by the hostile comments of the
press and the pulpit at the North on
the subject of lynchlngs and peonage.
In secular matters the Yankee attends
strictly TO his own business, but it
has v e been Characteristic Of him in
moral matters to expend all his
interest and distress on people at a
distance. In this country the North
is the birthplace Of Mormonism, free
love societies, Oneida communities,
anarchism, strikes, the boycott, the
protective tariff, trusts and every
social aud religious heresy. But
Northern people have never worried
about these things. They never gave
themselves any distress over slavery
while it existed among them. They
are deeply concerned wei what they
choose TO term peonage ia Alabama,
but they view with eQuanimity the
landing Of ship loads of ignorant and
OFTEN criminal foreigners, contract
laoorers, in violation OF statutes, and
see them shipped in trains of freight
cars to the collieries Of Pennsylvania.
The average Northerner is a pharlsee
by nature. He cannot keep from
worrying over the mote that is in his
brothers eye. He is not at all dis
by the fact that since 1891
more sheepmen have been killed by
cattlemen on the public lands of
Colorado, Wyoming Montana, Idaho
and Oregon than lost their lives in
the Spanish war, and, according to
the estimates Of the department of
interior, $40, 900, 900 worth of
property wantonly destroyed; but he

distress over some negro postmaster

THE IOWA CONVENTION.

II Macanlay were living today he
would doubtless change his famous
sentence to read, There is not, there
never was on this earth, a work Of
human policy so well deserving OF
examination as the republican party.
Why, in Iowa Wedncsday-in Iowa,
the home OF the "Iowa Idea'-over a
thousand republican delegates assem-.
bled in state convention, "souls with
but a single thought and hearts that
beat as one" adopted a genuine
pennsylvania prOtectionist platform
and nominated the father Of the
''Iowa Idea'' upon it on the first
ballot, all without a jar. The pro.
gramme went through as somemnly
and decorously as a Quaker funeral.
Democrats who are so anxious to
bring about reconciliation might learn
a lesson in party harmony from Iowa.
Did the tariff reformers and the
''Stand %patters" line up and fight it
out in convention? Will the minority
section 60 off and nominate a bolter
ticket? Not much. They just agreed
that one section should write the
platform and the other should NOM
mate the ticket.
II the democrats could only do
these things, If they could only adopt
the Indianapolis Palmer and Buckner
platform and nominate Mr.. BRYAN on
it, or the Kansas City platform and
nominate Mr.. Cleveland on it, they
would sweep the country maybe.
But alas, alas, the democrats are not
built that way. They are hampered
with individual %consciences, convic-
lions as to the rights Of man as man,
predictions against special privileges
and in favor of certain old, historic
ideas embraced in a bygone document
once revered as a constitution.

SEWERAGE.

In the forward movement going OF
here, let US not neglect sewerage
Lexington is fortunate in having
the most perfect natural drainage
compatible with a conveniently laiC
out city Of its size. The health
record is unrivaled among Missouri
towns; but we should remember that
Lexington is an old place and it is
not to be supposed that the usual
evidences of self poisoning will be
deferred forever. We already have
quite an extensive sewer system for a
city OF five Thousand. Moreover it
emptles into the river two hundred
feet below the level OF the town.
But our people do not seem to appre-
ciate their opportunities. Hundreds
Of people who ought to have jumped
at the first chance Of sewer connec.
ton have neglected this matter and
set an example d%iscouraging to others.
1t is a shame that the owners of
business property on Main street have
SO i'll considered their own interest
and the public good as to fail, most
them, to avail themselves of a priv
ilege which commends itself by con-
s~iderations Of health, comfort and
sightliness.
OF course, the council has power
to compel sewer connection and It
may he necessary 10 some instances
to use this power. But it is very
much better for people to do such
things voluntarily. Pride and the
sense of'common responsibility ought
in most instances to be sufficiently
strong incentives.
1t is particularly desirable that the
people take thought Of this matter
before the street paving begins
There are scores of people who ought
to attend to it at once. Moreover
several extensions of the sewers
ought to be made, or at least kept in
view, before certain streets are either
paved or repaired. An extension
ought to be made on College street
from franklin avenue to Central Col
lege, and on franklin from Eighteenth
to the Arnold school. When it is
considered how little these extensions
would cost, If the expense were borne
equitably by all--not over twenty-five
cents per front foot-it seems strange
that there is not more i~nsistence
upon the matter. Health is more
than beauty; and in proportion to
cost III people would make use Of
their p~rivileges) sewerage is more
important even than good streets.
