Australia by the announcement OF the
discovery of a new gold field in the
northern part of the island prospectors

as possible. In our country the rush
for wealth is just as much in evidence,

after our health until sickness comes,

else and you will then have a far more

First EncainpmeHt N. G. A.

The first encampment of the National
Guards of Arizona, held at Camp
Brodie, near Prescott, closed last
Wednesday after ten days Of soldier
life in which the members enjoyed an
experience to which they all refer with
pleasure. There were daily drills and
the usual disciplinary training and
camp restrictions to which the regu-
lars are subjected in times Of pc ace, but
there were no cases of characterization,
no sickness, and evidently the boys
regard the affair as being more in the
nature of an outing than an enforced
military duty. However, q lively in
terest was manifested, and without an
exception the members of CO. H, who
arrived home Friday morning, were
pleased with their experiences and are
already anticipating another outing Of
the same kind next year.
Col. James Fl. McClintOck, who was
in command during the whole of the
encampment, colnplimented the men
upon their soldierly bearing and quail
ties, as did also Governor Brodie, who
also recommended the following order,
as an expression Of his feelings.

soldierly conduct and appearance of
the National Guard of Arizona, as
shown in this, the first camp in its
history where the entire force has
been gathered together fer military
instruction.
The Governor desired the Regiment
al Commander to personally thank, by
order, the field and staff officers, as
we'll as each member of the First
Regiment Infantry and attached troops
of cavalry for the soldierly interest
evinced.
Especial pleasure was expressed by

"NothirS in e."

The presence Of Benz F. Daniels in
Yuma the past few days has started q
rumor that is somewhat startling in its
scope; that is, it would be startling if
true, but from the best authority the
Sentinel learns that there is nothing
in it. The rumOc is to the effect that
Mr.. Daniels is to be appointed super
intendent Of the territorial prison.
But more important still, is the story
that we are to have a new governor.
(Madam Rumor has several prominent
republicans slated fer the place.. In
volved in the story Cor more properly
pipe dreamy is the retirement of
Governor Brodie, who, will be restored
by President Roosevelt to desirable
commission in the regular army.
Mr.. Daniels himself says that he
simply came down here on hunting
trip-not Office bunting, but game hunt
ing. He is at present paying visit to
Col Griffith, they being Old acquaint-
ances, and the fact that MFR. Daniels
trunk was taken up sen the hill'' is
probably the starter of the wonderful
stories, which, among local politicians,
have threatened to supersede in absorb
ing interest the war in the far east.
Ben T. Daniels will be remembered
as the gentleman who won the admir-
alton of Col. Roosevelt by his bravery
at San Juan bill.
MIR. Daniels headquarters at present
are at Nogales. Including the time
spent in hunt down the Colorado
river, he expects to remain hereabouts
fer week or ten days.

children. Yet it is no unusual sight to
