 It happens that the new mining com pany spoken of above is largely com posed of the same people, who have made the Calumet & Arizona at Bis ies, made up of local prospectors and local business and professional men, are entitled to the same hearty sup port as long as they continue honestly to seek for and develop promising claims. It is nonsense to say there are no more good mines to be found in the region mentioned. Work alone of the prospects of that region into paying mines and though they will not all prove to be United Verdes, yet in the aggregate they will produce more business for Phoenix than can now be estimated. The recent strikes of large and rich ore bodies in the Grand Ira erse & Arizona, the Marquette & Ari- zona, the Ben Hur, the Mormon Girl, the Nil Desperandum and other prop critics in the Cave Creek section are but the beginning of. the inevitable advancement of one of the richest min eral districts in Arizona.

Tree Planting in China.

Tree planting in northern China is
being strenuOusly enjoined by the au-
thorities, not only as productive in
dustry for the people, but alike as a
means of strengthening the river en-
bankments against floods and of check
ing drought, says the Golden Penny.
or late years trees have been cut down
Wholesale for agricultural purposes,
while the peasants do not take the
trouble to plant fresh ones, because the
soil is so loose that they must dig
down very deep for a satisfactory
foothold. SO vast tracts of fertile land
are left barren, while in the northern
provinces especially the influx of sand
carried by high winds from the Mon
golian deserts threatens to fill up the
unoccupied ground.
SO in the important province of Chill,
which contains the capital, Pekin, there
is a government proclamation notifying
the EIGHT directions for tree planta-
tion"-most minute instructions as to
the kind of tree required, the depth
they should be planted and the fer
tilizers to be used-and the ten bene-
fits to be derived from the same" such,
among others, as the sale of timber
and fruit, and the beneficial influence
of trees in attracting rain, preserving
the just equilibrium of wind influence
and purifying the atmosphere, while
travellers and families will find shade
and rest under the branches"-a poetic
touch for conclusion.

That Acid Trouble.

Colusa, CAL, April 1Sth.-Much has
been said and written recently about
Uric Acid in the system; what causes
it and how to get rid of it. 1t is
known to be the first cause of Rheuma-
tism and many other diseases and has
therefore received great deal of atten-
ton from medical men.
Mr.. l.. F. Moulton of this place
claims that he has solved the problem
of how to get this acid out of the sys-
tenn. He says:
81 had this acid trouble myself for
years. At times the Kidney secretions
would be very profuse and at other
times scant but the acid was always
my greatest trouble. Medicine failed
to cure me till at last 1 heard of rem
edy called Dodd's Kidney Pills and
after taking box 1 seemed to be en-
tirely cured. However it came back on
me and this time l took several boxes
with the result that l was completely

three years ago and 1 have not had a

HORRORS OF MODERN
NAVAL WARFARE


IN five minutes from the commence
ment of her downward plunge tnere
will be no sign that she mas ever
been, and only if other vessels DE very
near will there be any possible chahce
of saving handful of stalwart swirl
mers whose superhuman struggles
have wrenched them clear OF the ue-
vouring, down-dragging eddies. more
than mere handful there could not
be in any case, since another treiheh-
dous difference between past ana pres
ent sea fighting is that the steel-clau
monsters go into battle with hardly
man visible, almost all of them md
den behind massive walls shut in from
the devastating impact of large pro-
iectiles. as well as the horrible hali
of Hotchkiss and Maxim bullets.
The pomp and pageantry of sea war
fare in Nelson's day, with its stripped
crowds of men swarmlng about the
incumbered decks, and streaming nags
from every mast, have gone with the
towering ranges Of sails and nimble
sailors who leapt about aloft handling
them even during the height of battle
The new man-of-war goes into the
fight grim unadorned, and apparently
proceeding by her own volition, like
some unthinkable marine monster be-
gotten of the elder slime
Nor will the elements interfere either
to retard or accelerate the issues as
once they did. Whether 1t be calm or
storm, blue sky or fog. night or day,
the battle will be joined.
To a landsman, and even to a mer-
chant seaman. there is something pc
culiarly terrifying in the notion of a
sea fight in a fog 1t is a time Of
terror even In peaceful navigation,
since the great sea breadths seem to
have contracted, and ones faculties are
kept at their utmost tension in case of
running across another ship. Fog is
the only elemental condition that sue

with the only other ship that was in
sight before those fieecy walls of mys
terry closed in upon the seafarers. Yet
the modern sea warrior among us is
trained to welcome that terrifying con.
dition of things, to dash at utmost
speed through the thickness and burst
upon his enemy with the sudden I'M
expectedness of the lightning stroke
And to add to all these terrible con
ditions of modern sea warfare we have
now the submarine. Not content with
the mighty arena of conflict afforded
by the open surface of the sea, in gale
or fog, or calm, the sea fighter mus

Few as are the people who can i'm
agine a battlefield on shore, they are
vastly fewer who can picture with any
certainty the scene of naval conflict
Terrible, too, as are all scenes OF
warfare, there seems something AKIN
to sacrilege, to destruction Of God S
own realm, in man daring to carry
his bloodthirsty, destructive animosl-
ties out upon the stainless blue of the
pure sea. Yet here. no matter how ter
rifle the slaughter how widespread the
destruction wrought by man upon his
fellow man, the merciful sea, impol-
lutable, reticent, Immediately effaces
all trace thereof-hides mans mis-
doings from the gaze of high heaven,
nor allows the poor remains to lie and
fill the air with pestilence.
And this, of course, more so now
than ever has been before. In the
days when Britain became the sover-
eign power at sea, and her wooden
walls were handled and fought
through whole days in closest proXim-
ity with their enemies, it often befel
with shot drifted for many days,
while the handful of unwounded sur
vivors accomplished tasks such as
make the mind reel to think of.
But modern sea warfare has changed
nearly all that For more terrible,
but mercifully far more swift, will be
the conflict between hostile fleets in
the future. There will be scarcely any
such thing as the lingering agony,
long drawn out, of the old days of sea
fighting. For one thing, modern iron
clads and cruisers going into action
will choose the lesser of two evils con-
fronting them. Because of the deadly
peril of splinters and of fire, every
thing of wood in their fittings, even
to the boats, will be cast away at the
beginning of the fight.
Then, when the battle is Joined, the
seaman must needs have a heart of
brass incased in triple steel, mind
that refuses to mediate upon the i'm
mediate possibility of one of those ter
rible twelve-inch projectiles plunging
down upon his vessels deck, and out,
amid the disintegration of all her gang
lions of energy, through the bottom,
rendering her an easy target to an I'M
injured foe, and her sinking a matter
of minutes.
And when she sinks, stone-like-
pumping being, if possible to yet UNI
damaged engine, a manifest absurdity
in that rent fabric of steel-with her
must go all her crew. 1t may sound
cruel and hard-hearted to speak of
their end being mercifully swift, but,
in view of the horrors of The old wood
en- ships floating on, veritable charnel
houses, when the battle was over
there was hardly any other term appli-
cable.
The modern man-of-war will not, al
any rate, prolong the agonies of her
crew when she is scuttled She will 90

Thefts from Hotels.

A certain hotelkeeper in Washington says that the people have no idea of the small depredations that are committed by guests, most of who are people of money enough of their own to refrain. He declares that not long ago he bought 700 yards of toweling for his rooms, and before he had time to learn whether or not the rooms had been supplied, the whole outfit was gone, says the Washing ton Post. "They are drummers, and women and all kinds of people who took them," said he, land probably they did not think it was stealing to take things away from the hotel. As to downright theft from rooms, or bilking in the mat ter of meals, there is much less of it in hotels than you would suppose; but Lord! how they will crib the soap and linen and spoons!"

FRIGHT RESTORES SPEECH
Flames in Room of Dumb and. Par alyzed Man So Scare Him
 That He Begins to Talk.

Thomas Herring, dumb and par~ alyzed old man living with his son-in- law, E. Moss, in London, was so over- come with fright when fire broke out in his bedroom recently that he sud- denly began to speak.
 Herring, who is 71 years old, was robust man, and up to short time ago was enjoying good health, even work ing at a small blacksmith's forge. Ono day he suffered stroke of paralysis, which also left him speechlesS.
 The other evening two men rushed in shouting that one of the upper rooms was on fire. Running up stairs to the chamber of his father-iu-law Moss sawf that the window curtains were ablaze and the woodwork was alight. The wind had blown open the window and this had knocked over lamp, causing the fire
 The paralyzed man lay on the bed helpless, unable to stir hand or foot or raise cry of alarm. The agonized look on his face showed, however, that he realized the terrible nature of his position. The flames were smothered before they had made much progress. and the patient escaped unhurt.
 Shortly after the family were sur- prised to hear the voice of the par- alyzed father. He was able to speak distinctly few words and his speech was coherent. The next days his pow CTS of speech were still further restored and he regained the complete use of his voice and was able easily to converse with the family.
 The restoration of the lost faculty was evidently the outcome of the shock which his system experienced on the outbreak of the fire.
 Although the paralysis of the limbs remains, MT. Herring's health has i'm proved so much that he has been re- moved from the house to a hospital, where it is the opinion that he may live long time.

EXTOLS MARTIAL SPIRIT.
Gen. Sickles Declares War Was Or dained by God and We Will
 Always Have It.

The cornerstone of a monume{t to be erected in Salem Fields ceme> ny, Cypress Hills, L. l., in honor of Jews who lost their lives in defense of the union was laid recently. Nathan Straus, chairman of the auxiliary committee of the Hebrew Union Veteran association, presided. In the course of his remarks MT. Straus referred to "A time when war will be reckoned a survival of bar barism." This brought protest from Maj. Gen. Daniel B. Sickles, retired, who lost leg at Gettysburg.
 Although we are assembled in a cemetery" said Gen. Sickles, "this is not funeral occasion. No death is more glorious than death for ones country. I know many think that wars are dreadful, but we have had our wars since the world began, and we shall always have wars. In the provi- dence of God war was ordained, and the human race will always fight for what it loves. This nation was found- ed through war. Would George III have agreed to arbitration to let us found an independent government? No We have liberty because our fathers lO"~ht seven years for independence, an we will always have to fight to maintain our freedom.
 T hope the time will never come when we shall cease to be a mar tial people, or be unwilling to take up al ms in defense of our country. Tn the day we are unwilling to fight for our lib- critics we shall surely lose the respect of the world"

HORSE FALLS IN CiSTERN
Then Battles with a Water Moccasin for Life-Rescued by
 Bremen.

A horse belonging to William Scales. of Kansas City, Kan, fell in an unused cistern the other day. The animal was almost submerged, nothing but his head and neck remaining above the water When the hose company from fire head quarters arrived a large water moccasiD about five feet long had wrapped itself about the horses neck and had bitten the animal several times.
 The snake was an ugly looking reptile, and for few moments the firemen hesi- tated about going down in the well. Vol unteers were called for, and some of the men, more venturesome than the rest, climbed down on a ladder and with a large stick killed the snake. The horse was then lifted from the cistern and a veterinary surgeon applied antidotes for the snakes bite. Although the horse suffered considerably from the com bined effects of the fall and the snake bites, it will recover.
