John the Baptist's Head

The pope has just ordered one of the most precious relics in Rome re- stored to the church of San SilvestrO, from which 1t was removed to the Vatican in 1870, when besieged by Italian troops. The relic is the au- thentic head of St. John the Baptist. According to ancient tradi tion, the head, which was demanded by the daughter of HerodiaS as reward for her dancing, was carried from Pales- tine to Rome ten centuries ago by Greek monks and deposited ia the church of San Silvestro, then a mon- astery.
 lnnumerable miracles are said to have been wrought by the relic, and it is held in such esteem that battles were fought for it's possession. From HI until 1870 the relic remained in the church. In 1890 it was removed to the Vatican for safety by Plus TX. Plus x thinks there is no danger in returning the relic to it's ancient rest ing place. It is contained in a silver reliquary weighing 100 pounds.

THE PHOENIX & EASTERN
 COMPLETED TO FLORENCE

The track of the Phoenix X Eastern railroad reached the Florence station Friday, and thus Florence was con- nected with the outside world by a transcontinental railroad line.
 Few people realize what that means for this section. It means the speedy development of the greatest mineral belt on the Pacific coast and ultimate ly the development of the most fertile agricultural and horticultural belt in the world, outside of the Nile valley.
 There is a combination of climate and natural resources here that cannot be found elsewhere on earth, and this fact will soon become known, as the new railroad will bring hither capital iSts and far-sigbted business men who follow the advance of railroads, but seldom precede those great develop ing agents.

Paris. April 4.-The st. Atersburg
correspondent of the Matin reports an
interview with Prince Khilkoh. head
of the Russian military railway COM
munications, who arrived there from
Lake Baikal to-day. In the course OF
which the prince said that Lake Baikal
was situated in a. volcanic region.
While he was there an earthquake
made the Ice rock like a stormy sea.
Prince Khilkof has already ordered
the removal of the rails from the Ice.
The railway line around the lake is I'M
ished from Missovaia to Kultuk. The
remaining sixty miles to Irkutsk will
not be ready before August
The prince said the question OF the
security by the Trans-Siberian railway
was causing no anxiety. The road was
guarded by armed sentries. especially
Ia the vicinity Of the big bridges.

Denver. April 4.-Word was re-
ceived in Denver yesterday to the ef-
feet that most of the troops which
went to Telluride recently were ordered
home by General Bell yesterday, leav-
ing Ridgway on special train at 8
o'clock in the morning. The troops
coming to Denver are expected to ar
rive here about noon to-day.
The two cavalry troops of Meeker
and Telluride will remain on the
ground in charge of General Bell, but
the infantry to the number of about
$50 men have been relieved. Governor
Peabody was in Canon City all day
yesterday and the reason for so many
men returning at this time is not forth
coming. 1t is probable. however, that
General Bell has discovered that there
is little necessity existing at the pres
ont time for so many troops in the
field. He ordered the men on board
the train Saturday night under sealed
orders and it was thought possible
they were going to San Juan and Ouray
counties, where there had been rumors
OF disturbances for some time. The
order to return home when 1t was
opened proved surprise to the men as
well as their officers.
The special trains consists of two Sec
tions. On board the first section are:
Col. Lewis Barnum, commanding; Capt.
Charles ID. Lewis, adjutant; Lieut.. e.
S. Young with Company d, Second in
fantry; Lieut.. e. A. Nicholas, commits
sary and quartermaster; Lieut. A. w.
Hall with Company B, Second infan-
try; Lieut. e. c. Baker, with Company
G. Second infantry; Capt. Cattermole
and the medical staff with three sick
men enlisted from Company f and two
sick men from Company NJ.
On the second section are: Maj. II.
G Naylor of the Second infantry, COM
manding; Capt. E. D. Smith Of the
First infantry; Lieutenant G. S. Law
renee with Company A. First infantry;
Capt. A. L. Bing with Company F, First
infantry; Capt. F. D. Williams with
Company M. of the Second; Sergeant
Manning of Company X and eight
cooks.
Major Naylor is directed to go to
Camp Goldfield by way of Denver, and
Sergeant Dittemore, Capt. H. G. Smith
and Private Gray are directed to go to

companies from different parts of the
state will make connections for their

View Of Japanese Commander.

Chicago, April A special cable
from a Chicago News staff cores
pondent at Toxic says:
Field Marshal Yamagata, who, after
the emperor, is first in command of
the Japanese forces, and was the orig
inal organizer of the Japanese army
said to-day that the Japanese may
have to lght odds of two to one, and
that the clash may come at the Yalu
river. The marshal said:
''It is difficult to say where the first
big land battle will take place. The
Russians seem to be in force between
Lao Yang and Kaiping on the Man.
churian railroad. They may cross the
mountains and possibly meet us at
the Yalu.
Bridges and roads north Of ANU
have been destroyed by the Russian
troops, and therefore the Japanese ad-
vance will be difficult. No doubt II
the Russians destroy the Manchuria
railroad 1t may be difficult to repair II
for the use of the Japanese troops.
Five months ago the Russian generals
planned to put 100000 men in the field
They must have contemplated sup
plying them with ammunition and
food.
I'VE must expect to meet a well
equipped and well nourished army OF
100000. 1t is n difficult matter to fight
a nation with 100000 soldiers. We
have to lay our plans very carefully.
There is no doubt that the Cossack
cavalry will worry the Japanese army,
which was originally intended for
home defense in the mountainous
country and is mainly composed OF In
fantry. We must work with the ma
terial we possess
Gilpin observer., 1904-04-07
Russian Battle Lines Drawn.

NSW York, April Russia is draw
ing up her battle line along the Yalu
and all dispatches Indicate that along
the banks of the river will be fought
very soon the first decisive battle OF
the war.
At VIII 1000 Cossacks and infantry
men were reported entrenched yester-
day. while the rapid advance of the
japanese forces emphasized the fact
that the great armies are drawing
within striking distance.
In European capitals great interest
was manifested yesterday in the role
being played by King Edward, who in
his neutrality proclamation presented
unmistakable evidences of his desire
for peace. Russia was particularly
pleased with his utterances, while 9TH
er powers saw in his words the posi-
bility of his becoming a mediator In
the Far Eastern struggle.
China, through her minister at st.
Petersburg has notified Russia that
sne will remain strictly neutral.
From Toxic a special correspondent
wrote of the changed plans made nee
essary by the naval successes Of
Japan at the outset of the war. Details
were added concerning the makeup Of
the army corps sent to the front. their
commanders. their headquarters. their
possible destinations. and, above all,
lne vastly important movements con-
nected with the war.

Coinage Record Broken.

. San Francisco. April 4.-The coin
age Of gold at the mint In this city
begun last February was concluded
last week. Superintendent Leach said
regarding the coinage:
The mint has undoubtedly broken
all records for gold coinage since the
use Of money began in civilization.
The amount coined this month reached
the enormous sum Of $33. 500, an
average of more than $1.000.000 q day.
in fact, the deliveries to the superin-
'tendent from the coining department
during the last four days averaged ST.
$4,000 per day. This. with the sum
of $21, 1,5S0,000 coined in February,
makes a total Of $54 4.693. 500. In weight
this amount would make more than
110 tons, or little more than four
big carloads of twenty-five tons each.
"A research Of, books and records
pertaining to coinage matters fails to
show any account of coinage exc
cuted In the same length of time equal
to this in any Of the other nations OF
the world"
