Ed. Printy. who is interested ex- tensively in the Yellowstone district, gets word from his partner that there is A remarkable revival in mining cir cIes in that locality. The district is just across the river from the Big Rincon, which is attracting wlde spread interest of late. The district is out the county, being some eighty miles north to north west of Bisbee, but there are so interested in that locality that we will endeavor to keep careful track of the Jeyeloum ents in that direction. MT. Printy will visit his property in few days and will be able to enlighten us on the true situation when he returns which will be III week or ten days.

1 IAN OLD TIMER ! ON EASY STREET

Tom Powers once worked in Bisbee. He strayed over into Patagonia dis trict. He lit right down onto silver mine which has been one of the min ing wonders of Arizona ever since. He calls it the Worlds Fair. He might have appropriately called it the World Beater, which it happens to be, from a silver standpoint. Tom is ideally situated. He has been offered hundreds of thousands for the Worlds Fair, but he reasons it out this way If I take the cash, may be inveigled into fo6ling with the exchange. or it may burn up or be stolen, or injudic- .ious1y invested, or get away some way, but nobody can steal. take or carry away the Worlds Fair. so he keeps a few men at work When he needs anything from plug of tobacco up to a first class ticket around the
 globe. he has the boys pry out cou'
 pie of carloads of ore, gathers his
 wife and daughter up and sails away
 to California, and he enjoys life 10 the
 utmost, for he knows that when he returns, the Worlds Fair will be
 there, richer and fairer than ever And this is the life Of a successful and sensible Arizona miner and beats go ing to the United States senate by neat majority.

HIGHWAYMAN GETS
 A LIFE SENTENCE
BRYANT, ONE OF A GANG OF FIVE NEGRO CRIMINALS, ESCAPES WITH EASIER SENTENCE THAN HIS PARTNERS.

After being out from 6 o'clock Friday night until o'clock yesterday afternoon the jury sitting on the trial of the case of John E. Bryant the negro charged with highway robbery, brought In yer dict finding the defendant guilty and fix Ing his punishment at life in the peniten- tiary.
 Bryant was convicted of being a mem Der of five negroes who held up w. E. Scott on the night of January 3 near the corner of Eleventh avenue and Seven teenth street. MT. Scott identified Bryant as the negro who went through his pockets and took about $6 from his per- son Yesterday afternoon just before the jury returned a verdict Bryant became very restless and nervous and strode up and down the prisoners cage. his eyes on the floor.
 When the verdict was read Bryant seemed to look relieved. His colleagues, Will Jones, Will Hudson and Abe Will Hams had been sentenced by the jury the day before to suffer death for hold ing up J. B. Messer in his store at Avon dale and robbng him.
 There are a number of other charges of robbery against Bryant and he will be tried when the capital docket is again taken up, which will be in few weeks

PIG IRON MARKET
 SOMEWHAT JERKY
THE BUYING MOVEMENT CON- TlNuES, BUT IT IS IRREGULAR. VARIOUS FEATURES NOTED BY ROGERS, BROWN & co.

Rogers. Brown & Co.,, In their circular of yesterdays date, say:
 The buying movement noted week ago continues, though it Is jerky and irregu- lar. The demand is mainly for winter ard spring deliveries and few furnaces are prepared to meet these, except in a very small way Buyers feel unreconciled to the prices that are asked, which range from $20 to SPA at delivering points, ac- cording to grades and quantities. Be- tween the heavy additions to the cost of manufacture. through the advances in labor and fuel, and the stoppages or slow running due to short supply there is more worry than profit in the business. Buyers are slow to credit the statement that the cost of manufacture of pig Is up 8 to s5 per ton, with tendency still up- ward Such, however, is the universal tes- timony of makers.
 It seems evident that the underlying conditions of wages, etc, much change, or the views of consumers must be ad- justed to materially higher prices than the average of the past year. Several instances have been mentioned where the coke bills of furnace companies commence Ing Tn January are more than double those of the corresponding months of last year for the same tonnage. Even at the high figures. fuel is not furnished ac- cording to contract, and costly stoppages are constantly occurring. Nearly all furnaces have been delivering on old and low price contracts and still have more or less of such business to work up. Many of these orders were filled at an actual loss. It was supposed that the new bus mess at higher prices would average up. Now, however. come the unexpected high costs, and the unhappy furnaceman is led to wonder whether he is not better off in times of depression and low prices.
 .There is little disposition by either buyers or sellers to discuss the last half of the year. With the coal miners in ses- sion demanding further heavy increase in wages with the railroads talking fur ther freight advance and with labor in other departments reaching out for more, the furnaceman is quite as willing as the buyer to let the last half take care of itself.

TOO GREAT EXPENSE
Not me Reason.

It Is not because Pyramid Pile Cure is so expensive that many people decline to give 1t a trial, but because they find 1t too great tax on their credulity to be- lieve that the published letters bearing testimony to the merit of this remedy are genuine and bona fide; especially to those who have realized the suffering in- cident to piles Is it incredible that anyone who has been afflicted twenty-five and thirty years with the worst form of pro- truding and bleeding piles should be cured by the application of simple remedy, when their physician has assured them that the only relief is in surgical opera tion?
 This is rightfully viewed with dread by all those afflicted, as it means at the least a great shock to the nervous system, with more than possibility of utter collapse and death; in the majority of cases. too there is a return of the complaint, owing to the fact that the cause is not re- moved.
 The proprietors of the Pyramid Pile Cure agree to forfeit one thousand dollars to anyone who will show single publish- ed testimonial to be not genuine and un- solicited; this latter feature Is most grat- flying, inasmuch as these letters are written solely out Of gratitude, and with the hope that those who are afflicted as the writers have been may learn that re- lief is at hand, at a comparatively trifiing expense. Pyramid Pile Cure is for sale by druggists at fifty cents ! package. CT will be mailed by the makers to any address upon receipt of price.
 MT. Wm Lichenwalter. head of the largest printing house fin Canton, Ohio. says: Tt Is with the utmost pleasure and satisfaction that can say believe am cured of protriding and bleeding piles after suffering more. than twenty-five years I have been in bed for two weeks at a time I have not suffered in the least for over year. and used only three fifty cent boxes of Pyramid Pile Cure.
 T advise every person suffering with this distressing and painful complaint to give this remedy a trial. I have every confidence in it. Write the Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich, for their book on the causes and cure of piles.

COFFEE AGAIN. An Old Philadelphia Physician Tells the Truth About 1t.


 physician of Philadelphia, of many years practice, during which time he has carefully watched the effects of coffee drinking upon his patients writes:
 During my practice in Philadelphia have had many serious cases of stomach, kidney and liver disorders which l have traced to the use of coffee.
 Last year fellow physician called my attention to the merits of Postum in the place of coffee. In many severe cases or torpid liver, various kidney diseases, etc., since then I have forbidden the use of coffee and prescribed Postum.
 Tn many cases the results were almost miraculous. and in all there was marked improvement due solely to the use of Posum in the place of coffee.
 '.If you wish it l will furnish you the names of my patients so cured.
 Owing to the feeling that exists among the medical fraternity against physicians using the columns of the papers to adver- tise themselves. I request that you with hold my name, but you may refer any in auiries to me-" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek Micf

GEO. B. WARD FORMALLY
 ENTERSRACE FOR MAYOR

George B. Ward announced yesterday afternoon that he would be a candidate for mayor of Birmingham, and that hls name would go before the people in the primary election en the scccnd of March.
 Mr. Ward has been seriously consider ing the question of entering the race for the past week and now decides definitely to go into the primary. He is at present a member of the board of aldermen, rep resenting the Second ward with MT. P. II. Linnehan. He has been on the board for four years.
 Asked if he would resign as a member of the city council to make the race for mayor, Mir. Ward said, That is not nec- essary any more than it is for the mayor to resign to run for re-election."
 In connection with the statement that he would be candidate he said:
 Tn announcing as a candidate for may or l have no other object than to serve the people of Birmingham.
 T have no record to point to except conscientious attention in the board of aldermen to all public business that came along.
 If elected mayor I expect to be mayor, and will undertake to sec that every in- terest, corporate or individual, is fairly treated.
 .Three things, in my opinion. are para mount right now:
 "First-Cleaner streets. These can be had by getting right in behind the street cleaning department and seeing that every man on the pay roll gets out early and works hard and late. If this does not clean up, more force should be put on.
 'Second--ln regard to municipal owner ship of water works, it is my belief that the sooner we get possession of the pres ent system the less it will finally cost us, and that we should proceed with eau tion but act promptly.

Roosevelt Is decidedly distasteful to the people in the south, who cannot under stand the makeup of a man who will receive negroes at his table. and in the reception parlors of the White House. And in addition to this his method of seemingly setting himself up as 8 Czar does not appeal to the southerner as right and in keeping with country whose boast is her freedom of thought and of opinion. Roosevelt as the public ser- want, the people of Alabama think, should respect the traditions of the government and of the south. In dining and receiving negroes on terms of social equality he does neither.
 But aside from sentiment the southern republicans are offended at his political plays. He is not their friend, they de- clare, and they openly assert that they will no longer support him. Roosevelt. of course has little following yet. but his every action seems to make that little crowd smaller and smaller.

 President J.~ J. Hill of the Northern Securities company is quite humorist and gets off some pretty clever things.

MAYOR RECEIVES CLIPPING.
Comments on Mayors Lows Telegram
 Declining Tender of Coal.

Persons in New York have sent to Mayor Drennen editorial clippings from papers in that, city commenting on the telegram sent him by Mayor Low in re- gard to the donation made by the citi- zens and corporations of Birmingham of twenty-five carloads of coal for the poor of New York.
 An editorial in the New York Times says 1t would be better for the poor in the tenement houses to have little smoke than to be compelled to go to bed cold.
 No further steps have been taken in re- gard to the coal for Chicago. Carter Harrison, mayor of that city, is now mak- ing arrangements for the Transportation of the twenty-five carloads donated to the poor of the Windy City.
