Drunkard at a Discount.
The Argus Leaden.

The per capita consumption of liquor
shows small tendency to decrease, but
it Is the o~bservatson of allthat drunk
enness is diminishing. The reason is
not far to seek. Men who drink
are at a discount in modern society,
and time has long since passed when
n must drink to be- "a good fellow"
The situation as sized up by the New
York Sun is true and significantly
true.
Total abstinence pledges, prohfbi-
tion laws, the exhibition of ''horrible
examples" and the preaching Of in
itemperence asa sin may have had a
amount of influence in deter
ring men from drinking, but the So
cial sentiment against intemperance
as an imprpdence which has grown up,
during the last generation has accom-
plished far more. Drunkenness has
become disreputable or is looked on as
a deplorahle disease. People are more
sensible. The strain of modern social
conditions, il has been found, compels
sobriety. The drunkard cannot keep
up the pace and falls behind those who
hold their appetites in restraint.
Many banks,- railroads, factories,
and other big financial, commercial
and industriaH institutions will no
longer employ men who drink or gam
BILE. The result is a great increase of
temperance among young men and a
change af the fashion, which promises
well fopthe future.

"YOU ALL" AND I'VE ALL"

For some time there has been running
 in a New York paper an amusing dis cussion Of the expressions you alr' and
 i've all" and in not a few instances
 efforts have been made to shoulder these oddities off on the south. The
 expressions are frequently used in the south. and often by persons of nigh
 culture. It is not at all uncommon to hear an educated man ask How are you all?" by which he means to in
 cuire about all the members Of a par
 ticular family. So educated men and women frequently say We all get along nicely here" by which the mean that "all members of the family" and so on. It is a more direct way of say ing the thing. It conveys the idea clearly enough. and it is not open to any objection on the ground of vague
 ness and uncertainty" Of course. these expressions are used only in talking
 Persons who constantly say 'yOu all" and i've all'' would never think of writing it in this way. You alt' and
 ''we all" are spoken and not written just as a great many persons who are
 capable of writing and do write the most exquisite English. butcher all the rules of grammar and euphony in con
 Versation. But it is doubtful if "vou all'' and we all' can ba charged up to the south exclusively. They are rather American provincialisms. and are to be classed with certain departures of speech noted by the late Herbert Spen- cer, departures looked upon es shock ing and barbarous by the Englishman. But why should breath and time be
 wasted in saying things in a round about fashion? Why ask How are the members of your family" when How are you all?" will answer the same pur- pose? Suppose one is asked his pres ent place of residence, shall he wade ! through the painful detail of law. and
 "eply that he lives on a certain lot, sit mated, lying and being in a certain county and a certain state. and in the
 Tinted States of America, and give the metes and bounds and meanderings Of
 lines, and certain blazed blackiacks, which have marked it's bound

 of grammar. but 1t "says what it means" and means what it says" Still
 it is not peculiar to the south.

HELD TO THE GRAND JURY.
The Result of Cutting Scrape in East
 Tempe Sunday Afternoon.

There was a cutting fray in East Tempe Sunday afternoon, which result ed in the holding over of one of the participants to the next grand jury.
 The trouble began in a friendly scuf- file, Manuel Vega taking the leading part. The affair became rough, and Ju- lian Rodrigues, brother of one of the boys, took a hand in it. Upon this move Manuel drew a knife, and mak- ing lunge dt Julian cut him severely across the cheek and breast. Dr. Chas H. Jones dressed the wound, which required several stitches.
 All the parties concerned in tEe fray appeared in Justice T,ielson's court yes terday morning and Vega was bound over to the grand jury on a $500 bond.
 There wa5 some question as to the sanity of Vegas, but the justice decid- ed If he was insane he was no fit par ty to be running loose, and if he was not insane he ought by right to be in jail. The justice has the knife as evil dence, and though it is but a pocket one, 1t has a blade Of more than the average length and in the right hands would be q dangerous weapon.

RAILWAY RECEIVERSHIPs.

Very few men were appointed receiv- CTS of railroads in the United States during the past year. and most of the nine appointments that were made were for small roads which had long been insolvent and have now been put into court by the large companies con trolling them to straighten out their titles. No railway company of import ance. and only two or three small ones became involved last year as q result of then existing conditions. The full list of receiverships represents nine roads with d mileage of 229 miles and a total bond and stock investment of sS. .S23. .0Oo
 Foreclosure sales continue to repre- >ent the reorganization. for the most part, of companies whose insolvency was confessed years ago. The list of 190? embraces thirteen roads, with a. to- tai of 555 miles and s15. SS5. .OOO of bonds and stock.
 The number of railways remaining in the hands of receivers is now very small. hardly more than a score. most ly short roads. and there is little mater ial for foreclosure sales and little prov oc2tion for receiverships at present in sight.-RailYay Age,

THE TWIN BUTTES.

At the Century block corner two prominent Milwaukee officials. Mayor David s. Rose and Alderman John Mccoy. were seen Saturday evening viewing the landscape OCT. Alderman Mccoy, whom Mayor Rose had take a financial interest in the Twin Buttes Mining company will extend his visit to this locality until about the middle of the current month. He will divide his time while in Arizona between wis it's to the Twin Buttes mines and sight seeing in Tucson. Sunday morning he accompanied MT Rose. president of the Twin Buttes company and H. J. Blak- ley the superintendent on a second trip within week to the mines.
 MT Rose will remain here fully ten days longer He said that he was well mines of his company and that it was the purpose of the corporation to in stall comDressors and smelters early this year He said that on this point he would talk further for publication when in town again.
 It may be added here that Editor and Publisher Clements Of the Mil waukee Sentinel is still at the Twin Buttes mines. a fact MT. Rose was pleased to mention. MT. Clements has been at the mines of the Twin Buttes company about a month, coming to town for a few hours stay as occasion demanded.
 It is likely that Messrs. Rose. Clem- ents and Mccoy will return to Milwau- kee together late next week. A son of MT. Mccoy is also here.-Tucson Citi- zen

 The stores were full of women ex- changing everything from 9 cent lace handkerchiefs to costly jewelry, and there was hardly man among them. If appearances count for anything the men who got what they didn't want grinned and bore it.
 In most of the stores special ar engagement for the annual rear engagements of purchases were made. Exchange desks were set up in various departments and from there matters were strengthened out. Some got credit checks. some cash. The clerks in charge of those desks had tn work over time. They had their troub- les. too

 Cant give credit on that: 'twasnt bought here"
 But I am sure it was,' protested the woman. My daughter-in-law gave it to me i'll that box and you must have sold it to her."

PREMIER CONSOLIDATED co.
General News of Mining Operations in
 Mohave County.


 The last issue of the Mohave Miner has the following concerning mines in that county, indicating that new life has been put into the industry with the advent of the new year:
 Judge Robert Secular. general coTn- sel for the Premier Consolidated Gold Mines company of St. Louis was in Kingman several days this week. He spent some days examining the mining claims recently purchased by his com pany in the San Francisco mining dis trict, which is fast coming to the front as the leading gold fields of the south west. The Premier companys mines are in the neighborhood of the famous Moss and Rattan mines. which have been large producers. One of the best known properties purchased by the company is the Gray Eagle and May flower, acquired from Grant Thompson, who some time ago made a shipment of ore to the sampling works at King man that yielded him more than SEQ per ton in gold. The vein is a large one and the values are high. The com pany has also purchased the Jumbo, Sulphurette, and Gold Butte mining claims from Marion Derrick. These claims are to the northwest of the Moss mine and the Jumbo is supposed to be an extension of the rich old property. All these claims show big bodies of gold bearing ore. It is the intention of the company to push work on its newly acquired properties with great vigor, and it is hoped that they win meet with the same success in their development as have the owners of the Gold Road and Leland mines. which properties are close by, and which only

 There were more serious mix-ups in one or two of the stores which have rules that nothing can be exchanged unless the ticket which is made out at the time of purchase accompanies the goods to be exchanged. Of course no Christmas gifts were accompanied by the tickets that told how much they cost, and the foorwalkers had a merry time trying to straighten matters out. New York Sun.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

A little Mexican boy came near losing his life yesterday afternoon at the railroad crossing near John Knights store. Some trees are being cut down in that neighbCrhood and as enc of the limbs Of a tree fell it broke a telegraph wire. As the wire recoiled it caught the little boy and threw him directly in frcnt If the approaching train. It was only by the quickest work on the part of the engineer that the train was stopped in time to save the boy life.
