cniritnul Exercise.

The best forms of physical exercise bring
de1irht and satisfaction to the body. Mus
cIess nerves and tissues are called to new
health and enjoyment. The best forms of
mental exercise secure rich returns to the
thinker whose mental faculties are stimu-
lated and ouickened to larger powers OF at
tainment and enjoyment by each hearty,
hcalthful and honest exercise. So the true
worshipcr, as he closes his faculties to the
outer world and draws near to God: spirit
uai'y, finds a JOY, peace, satisfaction,
full of cxhilcration and approaching ees'
tasy as he realizes Gods presence. and be-
comes flied with the fulness OF God

There are no times III life when oppor.
tuuity. the chance to he and to do, gath
ers so richly about the soul as when it has
to suffer Then everything depends on
whether the man turns to the lower or the
higher helps. If he resorts to mere expe-

He comes out no richer or greater; nay,
he comes out harder, Doorer, smaller for
his pain. But if he turns to God. the hour
of suffering is the turning point Of his hfc.

Militia Encampment.

Col. J. H. McClintock and Captain G gorge Alkire, regimental quarter master, returned yesterday morning from a two days visit in Prescott and vicinity. They went to spy out a proper site for the regimental en- campmeDt of the national guard which will begin on Septebmer 5th, and last for a week or so. The site chosen is on a beautiful grassy slope in an oak brush country near Point of Rocks, a few miles from Prescott. It furnishes a fine parade and drill ground and a diversified country for skirmish drill ing. The target range used by the troops at Fort Whipple is also near by and will be available for the guards man. Water will be supplied from the Del Rio pipe line which passes rear and which supplies the city of

CLIMAX MAKING
 GOOD PROGRESS
High Grade Gold Quartz
 BOulders Found
Such As Made the Property Fam Ous in Early Days and Made
 Miners Rich.

| This company is now employing seventeen persons, and is running its ten stamp mill day and night, recent rains having given water.
 The ore now being milled is however mostly an accumulation of low grade ore running from five to eight dollars per ton and from three to five tons per day of twenty to thirty dollar ore, being taken from the mines.
 The veirs on this property are strong Assures, but have been badly faulted by heavy volcanic dykes, and by ground disturbances, but as depth is gained the veins come more regular.
 in finding the vein on the other side of the black dyke, as last reported, developmeont has shown that while it goes up it is still faulted going down, the surroundings being composed of porphyry mud that is picked, and without blasting. The indications are that in faulting the upper portion of the vein came with the blue dyke, while the lower portion remained with the other wall and that wall has not yet been located. That it will be located there is however no question.
 This is undoubtedly one of the best veins of the country, as the large boulders of high grade ore found years ago are of the identical quartz found now in this vein and from the locations over which those boulders were found the rich ore shoot must extend fully one thousand feet. Some of those bouIders were over a ton weight and several hundred dollars per ton in value.
 In another portion of the company s property the tunnel run from the level of the mill, has now entered a 'change of ground and the indications are very strong that it is nearing the first vein of the series of veins intend ed to be cut by it.
 In the early days thousands and thousands of dollars were taken from both the north and south portions of this property and many of the earlier workers were killed by Indians and from that time it has been recognized as property that, when properly devel- oped, would prove second to none as paying producer.
 We congratulate the directors and stockholders on what is believed to be their approaching success.

 The spoken language of China is net written, and the written language is not spoken.
 Books are read backwards, and what we call footsnotes are inserted at the top of the page.
 The Chinese surname comes first in- stead of last.
 The Chinese shake their own hands instead of the hands of those they greet.
 The Chinese dress in white at funer- als, and in mourning at weddings, while old women always serve as bridesmaids.
 The Chinese launch their vessels sideways and mount horses from the off side.
 The Chinese begin dinner wit b dessert and end with soup and fish.
 Perhaps it is because they live on ths other side of the world from where people do differently that causes the Chinese to act in the manner des- cribed.

THE WASHOUTS
 ON THE SANTA F
Unprecedented Rains in
 MOhave County.
Company Has Thousands of Men Repairing Damages-ChlOride
 Road Wiped Of Map.

A telegram from Kingman, dated August 9, gives some of the details of the terrific storms which have visited that section of the county recently as we'll as the difficulties which have been experienced by the Santa Fe railroad company in an attepmt to keep their road open for traffic. It says: "On Wednesday afternoon most terrific rainstorm, accompanied by thunder, lightning and violent wind, fell here In one hour, more than two inches of water fell, and in an incredible short time the great canyon west of here, through which the Santa Fe railroad runs, was a roaring torrent. The water was soon twenty feet deep, and heavy grades were swept away, bridges torn from their foundations, and for miles the track was wrecked. In town, trees were broken down, streets torn up, telephone lines entangled, and phones burned out. The railroad pipe line below town was damaged, and the we'll was wrecked. North of town, the ranch of J. H. Johnson is almost a total loss, debris from the mountain covering the growing crops to depth of several feet. The Postal company's lines suffered severely. At Crozier the worst storm of the season occurred, breaking all records in the fall of water, and tracks were washed out.
 Tomorrow the Santa Fe expects to have two thousand men at work be- tween Topock, on the west line of the Arizona and Peach Springs, near the east line of the county. At Crozier it is estimated that five miles of grade, bridges and cribbing have been carried out. The roadbed is through a high walled canon and no part can be shooflied From the west yard of Kingman bridges are gone and hund reds of feet of heavy grade carried out.
 "Breaks will have to be cribbed and, as there is very little material to be had, only slight repairs can be made until the damage east and west has been repaired. Below Haviland, all cribbing has been carried out and much of the grade with it. It is esti mated that it will take at least eight days to get the road in shape to move rains, even if no further rains fall.
 'The Postal compauy's lines are down west of here for miles. Thous- | ands of ties and bridge timbers are over the valley.
