Handsome Souvenir.

Ross c. Cline, Pacific Coast pas senger agent of the Wabash railroad company, with headquarters at Los An geles, arrived on last nights train and left this afternoon for Phenix on the freight train. During his brief so- journ here he did some missionary work for the Wabash, part of it being the distribution of Worlds Fair fold CTS. Of all the railroads centeriDg in St. Louis the Wabash is the only road that runs near the Worlds Fair grounds. The main line of the Wa bash passes just in front of the grounds and the company has put in a large number of tracks and has es- tablished depot just in front of the main entrance. All special excursion trains to the fair from whatever point they come will be handled over the Wabash tracks and will be run direct to the entrance of the grounds without entering the city. The Worlds Fair folder issued by the Wabash is about as swell piece of railroad literature as can be found. In addition to treat ing of the beauties and advantages offered for travel over the Wabash, the folders contain a very nicely executed plat of the Worlds Fair grounds, to- gether with pictures of the more prominent buildings. Aside from its merit as an advertisement of the Wa bash system, it is valuable on account of the information given about the $50, 900, 900 exposition and is in reality a handsome souvenir.

Railroad in Mexico.

L. W. Miller and a party of engi neers left here over the Southern Pa cific this morning en route to Quay mas, Sonora, where it is said they will run a preliminary survey for a rail road southward from Guaymas.
 The utmost secrecy has been maintained regarding the movements of tbe party, and all had instructions to not say word regarding the trip.
 It is learned, however, that they will work southward from Guaymas to the Yaqui river and thence up that stream. Just who they are working for has not been given out, but is sup posed they are working in the interest of the Southern Pacific.
 This company has large coal and other interests along the Yaqui river which it has been developing for some time and the supposition is that the road primarily will be built for the purpose of tapping these coal felds.-El Paso Herald.

Big Deal in Lumber.

| In conversation yesterday with A. J. Head, the lumberman, a Journal
 Miner reporter was informed that Mir. Head has just closed up a contract
 with the Bradshaw Mountain Copper
 Mining and Smelling company for 54, 900 feet of lumber, or five carloads, to be delivered as soon as the lumber can arrive from the mills, at the com pany's property at Middleton. This makes nearly 300, 900 feet or twenty nine carloads of lumber that Mir. Head has sold this one company within six weeks. About fifteen carloads of this amount has already been delivered. This lumber is being used to build the big tramway from the mine to the railroad, and for great storage bins for the ore. Also at the mine and for the enlarging of the Val Verde smelter which the company recently pur- chased. This looks like there would be something doing in the Bradshaw mountain district this season, when one mining company can purchase nearly thirty carloads of lumber with in six weeks.

Spoiled By DrOWth.

H. P. Anewalt, general passenger
 agent of the S. F. P. < P. railroad, has been a close student of the wealth
 CT reports for this territory for several
 weeks, but is commencing to lose in
 terest in them owing to the advanced
 season. He has been looking for rain,
 and the season has so far advanced
 that it now seems like hoping against
 hope. With copious spring rains the deserts of Arizona are fairly carpeted with flowers in the early spring, and
 MT. AneWalt has been in the habit of running a flower excursion each year for the accommodation of the resi- dents of Phenix. The trip heretofore has been between Phenix and Wick enburg, the train being stopped at favorable places en route to give the excursionists an opportunity of pick ing the bright flowers along the line. Owing to the building of the Phenix < Eastern railroad and the compile tion of the railroad to Grown King, Mir. Anewalt had planned three flower excursions this year. One over the usual route described above, one be- tween Phenix and Florence, taking in Mesa and Tempe citizens, and one, probably little later, between Pres 1. colt and the Bradshaw mountains. !. Had the territory been visited with . the usual amount of rain causing the . flowers to grow and bloom these exeur- sions would have been highly appre- ciated and we'll patronized. Owing to ! the entire absence of rain, however, it is doubtful if there will be a suffi- cient quantity of flowers to justify any of the excursions.

Nal colm Lowry was knocked unconscious, in which condition he remained for several minutes, but on his recovery O consciousness was able to walk out of the drug store where all three were taken. Miss Mabel was quite pale but soon revived. James Lowry escaped with but slight injuries.
 The front wheel of the Lowry bi- cycle was pretty badly wrecked.
 The accident occurred on Gurley street on the cross walk between the two bank corners. At the same iden tical spot, about g 80 o'clock last night three bicycles ridden by as many boys came in collision wrecking the wheels. One of the boys was pretty badly skinned and bruised but not seriously hurt. The names of the boys could not be learned.

All Japan is ringing with the praise of d woman of Takasaki, who, learn ing that her sons enlistment had been refused because he was her only SUD- port, seized a dagger, plunged it into her heart and then handed it to the son, telling him to go and be enrolled among his country's defenders. He immediately volunteered, and was put on the active list. It is only by such instances as this one, which is not exceptional, that the outsider can gain an idea of the fever of patriotic devo- ton which possesses every class of the Japanese people.

MILES A POSSIBILITY.

General Miles candidacy for the
 president is really being seriously
 considered. Although Miles is by nc
 means teetotaler, (unless be has be-
 come such very recently the prohi-
 bitionists are "sidling" up to him, and he has said to them that "Barkus
 is willin'." Democrats in Iowa as we'll as in some other states, have come to the conclusion that Miles would be la better candidate for them than
 Hearst, and in all seriousness are ad- vocating his nomination. In the pres ent chaotic condition, which that
 party finds itself, there is no tell ing where the nomination lightning may strike. There is no disputing the fact, however, that Miles is as much a possibility as Hearst. He is willing to take either the democratic or the prohibition nomination or both, but if only one preferably the former. In discussing Miles as a possibility for the nomination the Globe Democrat has the following:
 The mention of Gen. Miles in con- nection with the democratic nomiDa- tion for president has called out some chapters of ancient history. Many of the southern papers are opposing Miles because be placed msnacles on Jefferson Davis at the end of the war when Miles was the custodian of the head of the confederacy. The Char leston News and Courier, in fact, in inmates that if Miles is nominated by the democrats Roosevelt will carry South Carolina.
 ''But the Asheville (N. O. Ob- server, an equally stalwart demo- cratic paper, says that if the south could swallow Greeley as it did in 1872, it ought to be able to take the Miles medicine. The News and Cour- fer, however, counters by declaring that Greeley went Jefferson Davis bond at the time of his trial. which went long way toward absolving the big editor for all the bad things he said about the south in 1841-6l, and about the confederacy in 1861-65.
 "The prospects of Miles nomina- tion in St. Louis do not look to be bright at this moment, but nobody can tell what changes will take place in the relative standing of the demo- cratic presidential aspirants in the next few months. The action of the democratic convention, in regard to the candidate and the platform is in the profoUndest sort of uncertainty. If man like Hearst has any chance for serious consideration in the con- vention, then Miles aspirations can not be dismissed contemptuously. If, as our Charleston friend tells us, Miles nomination would give South Carolina to the Republicans this year, we hope the general will get the can- didacy. A rousing republican major ity in that state in 1904 would advance its credit all over the Country, put the price of its property up, attract settlers and capital to it and give the state such boom as it has not known since the early days of the railway, two thirds of a century ago, when Charleston still considered itself se- rious rival of New York, Boston and Philadelphia, and when South Caro- lima had hopes of getting physical preponderance among the southern states to accompany the social pre- eminence which Calhoun and Hayne had conferred upon her."

Suicide Attempt.

Ben Hull, a painter and paper hanger, who came here some time since from the east made an attempt to commit suicide today among the pines in West Prescott by shooting himself. He misjudged the location of his heart, at which he evidently aimed, and failed to accomplish his purpose.
 The pistol used was a thirty two caliber and the bullet entered in front just below the short ribs. He was taken to the county hospital where medical aid was provided him. His wound is not considered dangerous.
 Hull failed to obtain employment at his trade here and took a position as pantry man at Hotel Burke where be had worked for a few weeks. He took lay off three or four days ago and had not been working. Despond- ency is supposed to have prompted the deed.

WEEKLY yoURNAL-MINER and
POLITICS OF THE CASE.

Democrats have been charging the administration with bad faith in the matter of making a fight against the trusts. A great deal of sarcasm has been used and it has been intimated that the cases would never be prose cuted to a successful or final issue. The case of the Northern Securities which has just been decided by the supreme court furnishes a complete refutation of these charges and insin- nations. Now that the case has been finally deicded it is interesting to note which party really stands for the trusts and which would shield them if opportunity presents. Five mem- bers of the supreme court were argeed on the decision rendered in the Northern Securities case, and every one of the five were republicans in politics prior to their appointment on the supreme bench. One is an ap- pointee of Hayes, two of Harrison, one of Mckinley and one of Roosevelt.
 Of the four justices which dissented frcm the opinion of Justice Harlan three were appointees of Cleveland and one of Roosevelt.
 In other words every republican on the bench except one favored the de- cision adverse to the merger and the democrats on the bench were unani nous against 1t.
 Of course politics are not supposed to have any influence on such sub jects, but members of the supreme court are only human after all, and the above is to say the least suggest i've, and demonstrates the insincerity of the democratic press, in saying that the republican party stands for the trusts while democrats are Oppos- ed to them.
 By their acts you should judge them and not by idle words of their mouth.

 During the recent visit of the Journal-Miner man to the Iron King camp there were a number of important changes other than those mentioned in a previous ar ticle relating to the mill and mine. There were a number of famil- jar faces missing from the camp, some having gone to British Columbia, some to Australia and other points on the globe to engage in the business of mining. Others had come to take their places so the camp continued its scenes of activity and industry.
 One of the notable .changes in the camp, and one that has proven to be entirely satisfactory, is the change in the management of one of the board ing houses. The boarding house which was formerly in charge of the China man is now under the management of R. H. Flagler, and the cooking is all done by white help and it is the verdict of all those who board at his place that there is not better table set in any mining camp in the west. The food is all first class and Is cook ed in way that enables one to thor oughly enjoy meal there. Mr. Flag Ter, who is practical miner, and who
