Blanchard, Arizona, Jan. 10, 1904.
The c. E. meeting last Sunday
evening was led by B. Blanchard who
gave one of his inimitable practical
talks on 1.-The King of Growth IiNeed
in 1904 The address, full of common
everyday illustrations, was yet SO sat
urated with those lofty sentiments and
high ideals of life that appeal to us
all in our best moments but are so in
frequently given expression to by the
prominent business men of today
that the audience were carried for
half an hour into the Oelectable
mountains-a region which old Father
Time has never yet explored. After
the devotional Service, the semi-sn-
nual election of officers was held with
the following result: ]. Pulsifer,
president; ". J. Shaw, vice president;
Mrs. Chas. Ransom, secretary; j. Han
son, treasurer; Geo. Kennedy, chair
man devotional committee; Mr.. Dod-
son, chairman visiting committee;
Mrs. Williams, chairman social COM
mittee; john Moore, chairman "What-
so-ever" committee. The officers and
members, working under a pledge so
broad as to include Protestants, Cath
olics and Jews, something unique in
G. Z. work, and worthy of imitation
everywhere, feel much encouraged by
the success of the last half year, and
are determined to spare no effort to
make the results of the ensuing term
even more gratifying.
Some of the :men who spent their
Christmas holiday away from camp
were rather disappointed. They went
to town for change and a rest, but
the Prescott merchants got nearly all
the change, and the railro&d company
the rest-to bring the boys back to
camp.
The many friends of Ernest Kel-
logg, who several months ago had his
eye severely injured on 200 foot level,
shaft ?, through striking a miss hole
with pick, will be pleased to hear
that through the skillful treatment of
the eye specialist in Denver his eye
sight with the aid of glasses is now
perfectly normal. At present he and
his brother Erwin are in Payette, Ida
no, where they think seriously of set
thing on a ranch.
\. T. Archer Of Prescott is visiting
his daughter, Mrs. J. j. Murray.
Mrs. Leon Cummins is expecting
the arrival of her sister in the near
future.
Geo. Jones, a veteran Iron King
miner, returned to camp during the
week.
Our little community is profoundly
stirred in sympathetic unison with
the relatives of little Roger Tabor, in
FAINT child of Oney Tabor, whose ten
der life was so abruptly ended during
the week by the chilling frost of
death. The child, motherless even at
its birth, about year ago, has so en-
twined itself into the life and affect
ions of its grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Rogers of Iron King, ana Mr.. and
Mrs. Tabor of Prescott, that the loss
of the little one will be deeply Ia
menUed by them for some time to
come. The burial took place in Pres
cott,. where mother and child now
sleep side by side.
The date fer the presentation of the
drama "Out ID the Streets, " in prepa-
ration for which much hard work has
been done by G. L. Kennedy and his
able staff of coadjutOrs, has at last
been fixed for Monday, Jan. Is. As
this exhibition is the first of the kind
given at Iron King the management
desires that the occasion shall be a
popular one. Accordingly, admittanee
to all parts of the house, including
the orchestra chairs and the orchestra
circle, has been placed at the low
price of p cents. Although all the
participants are amateurs embryonic
rofessions-perhaps) still such al in
terest has been taken by them, that a
play of genuine attractiveness on its
own merits may be expected. Orches-
trail music will be furnished by the
now we'll known Iron King orchestra.
In recognition of the very enjoyable
furnished by the child
rem on Christmas eve entirely free,
all the Blanchard school boys and
girls will be admitted without charge.
Let everybody come and hear an in
teresting play, enjoy an evening with
their friends and incidentally help
the organ fund, to which the entire
proceeds of the evening Will be con-
tributed.
NJ NJ. Ray, who along with his du-
ties below ground has hitherto look
ed after the tOnsorial needs of the
camp. has decided to confine himself
in the future entirely to the practice
of the occult science of underground
savsgery. His successor in Blanchard
shaving parlors is Dan Murphy, late
of Prescott. We are assured that all
who wish to have their physiognomies
renovated by having the capillary
stubble skillfully and painlessly har-
vested can not do better than give
Dan a call.
]. Oliver and Billy Meredith each
had a finger badly crushed ~hile
working on the gasoline 'engine at the
mill.
A large gang of men has begun to
work excavating east of the mill for
the purpose of erecting a number of
slime tanks.
Overheard at Shaft ,. Lady Visitor:
''What is that building there?" Top
man, wisely shaking his head: THAT
ma'am, is the mill where
the ore is eonsecrated. " (coneen-
trated). The visitor departed won
dering what religious rites we're per-
formed with the ore, and from what
seminary the mill man
ager had graduated.
