DA YoF AToNEMENT.

And the Lord spake unto Moses saying:
 Also the tenth day of this seventh ment: It shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before the Lord.
 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day he shall be cut off from among his peo- pie. le."-Leviticus XXIH-26-29.
 Three centuries ago the Jewish re ligion was given to the Children of Israel on Nit. Sinai, a religion founded on the purest morality.
 During all those centuries the Jew has been persecuted, driven from land to land, burned at the stake; has sui fered all kinds of martyrdom and be- hold Judaism still alive to day. It has been the butt and by-word of the nations for centuries but its purity has not been dimmed. Trace back every great name in literature, science and art-who was it but a Jew.
 Their people were princes of the land, when other nations were still siaves-they worshipped the one God, when other nations bowed down 10 idols of clay. They built a temple to worship the Almighty, whose splen- dors have never been equaled. but now that they are scattered far and wide over the earth, have no country, no home and no temple to worship in 1 they still meet on this Day of Atone ment to testify to the Glory of God.
 There are some who have strayed far away from the faith of their fathers: but on this day the longing is ! upon them to listen again to the an- cieDt ritual
 What matter. if they meet in small numbers far far away from their be- loved Palestine; for that day their spirit is again in ancient Jerusalem and instead of the little meeting house they are in the temple, the vast multi tude robed in white swaying back and forth like the wave of the mighty ocean: the High Priest in his sacri- ficial robes is standing before the Holy of Holies" and praying to God ! to spare his beloved people.
 They listen again to the sublime | music of the choir; it's chant of glory, | it's entreaty and supplication in "Kol I Nidie. that beautiful and haunting I melody that reaches the inmost re cesses of the soul. The cry of a peo ! pie in distress. It cries: Give earl Give earl Oh, God! To a long sui fering people, and bear them in the 4 day of their affliction."

TOMBSTONE DISTRICT.

The vicinity of the Last Chance and | State of Maine, in this district. is soon
 to become the center of activity of many mining enterprises says the Prospector. A number of mining com
 panies are getting ready to begin ac- tive operations. During lhe past
 week several large wagon loads of | lumber and supplies have been taken
 out to the Cochise Gold and Silver
 Mining Co.'S property where the com.
 pany is getting ready to resume op- erauons. A bunk house and a board ing house will be erected at once and
 the blacksmith shop repaired. As soon as this work shall have been done force of men will be put 10
 work driving the tunnel to tap the
 ledge that was encountered in the
 shaft on the top of the hill. The tunnel IS now in little over 500 feet and It is expected that it VII have to be drven about 135 feet further be- fore the ledge will be reached. Sev- eral small stringers of ledge matter were encountered in the face of the orIft, and it is possible that another cross-ledge will be found before the main-ledge is reached. The company IS composed of Pittsburg capitalists and Messrs. H. T. Fisher and George c. Black are booking after the inter- ests of the company in this section MT. Fisher is now in the east con- Ierrlng with the stockholders in re- gard to the work that will he done and upon his return will likely put good force of men to work. The con- pany owns six claims in that locality. and there are excellent indications of ore on all of them. When work was stopped in the shaft ore was being taken out that carried good values in both gold and silver, but it was found mat by driving tunnel and striking tne ledge the company could make sewing of considerable expense. The affairs of the company are now in such a state that there will be no de- lay in pushing development work.
 Col. Herring, of Tucson, who owns the Bonanza and two other claims in that locality has recently been trying to secure an option on others adjoin- ing his with view of getting q eronp and forming a company to work them. The Bonanza has in it's history pro- dhced some remarkably rich ore and with additional work should yield a vast amount more. Col Herring has already refused a number of good of fers for the property.
 It is the intention of the Consoiidat- ed company to resume work on the State of Maine property ere long. It was to have been started before this but the work was delayed on ac- count of their wanting to get the sinking started on their various other properties.

ALONG THE MAY

They say at Tucson that Ezra Bart lett has given up the ghost in real earnest and in future will ply his ac- uvities if pastures new beyond the peradventure of a doubt. Bartlett left Tucson last week. It is the sup. position that he has an eye out for location at either Bisbee, Lowell or Nacs. His Tucson place has been taken over by couple of men former ly located at Naco. They may make a success of it, but the public is given to doubt. Gambling is all up in Tue. son and without gambling to help the expense account along and attract the trade it is not considered that the Bartlett place offers much m the way of attractiveness at the present time as business investment.
 That there is no gambling in Tue son is conceded to be the case all the way around. The ancient Pueblo has done better in this respect than Fl Paso was able to do. The quiet game IS available at the Pass City but 1t is not doing business at Tucson
 There has been a lot of talk about the Yaqui war having heightened a great deal of passenger traffic away from the routes into Sonora during the present season. Railroad peo pie say that this is not true.
 Agent Book at Benson ought to have good judgement in the matter through the long familiarity with railroad traf fic into Sonora and throughout Ari zona that be has enjoyed. He says there has been no dimunItion what ever from Yaqui disturbances. It is not likely that these will keep hall as many valuable people away from the state as will be kept away during the next several months through the

Pittsburg Oct. 7.-Anthony Oleson. a g'~nt Swede. suffering from demen- tia. ran amuck in a Smithfield street restaurant today and fatally shot Hugh Hamilton before he was overpowered by six men. The man refused to give his address, but it is thought he may be the same Oleson from Minneapolis who, on Oct 5, 1909, entered the White House at Washington and dangerous ly injured a secret service officer. This man had ticket to Washington in his pocket.

According to Benson report the Pa cific coast is coming in heavier with goods for the merchants of the Bis bee-Douglas country than in any pre- vious fall season. The Southern Pa cific has turned an immense lot of merchandise over to the Southwestern in the last few weeks for carriage to points between Benson and Doug las. At the same time the Southwest ern has been getting big deliveries of goods from the Fl Paso end for Bisbee and Douglas delivery. Bisbee leading quite considerably. The mer- chants of the towns are to a certain ty putting In more stock than ever before in their history.
 Tucson is quite exuberant over the fact that she has a smelter finally asured- No doubt is said to exist at this time but what the shelter will be built. It is said to be a sure go Work on the railroad out to the Twin Butte mines is progressing and they say that developments at the mines are very encouraging to the belief that they alone will provide sufficient ore for the operation of the smelter
 The smelteF project. together with the good outlook in tributary mining country, is doubtless responsible to a considerable extent for quite a spurt in general activity in the town. 4 great deal of building is in progress. Builders say there is need in the town for many more workmen than are now available.

Fl Tigre litigation. Mining men and investors wha keep in touch with So nora are watching that litigation very closely. They are not going to make any extensive moves, if indeed they make any at all. down that country until this litigation is out of the way, and it is clearly shown by the court decisions where the Sonora govern ment stands in the matter of extend ing protection to investors in the state.
 A thing that has been knocking passenger traffic is the prevalence of the South. This has put the South ern Pacific particularly at d disad- vantage. Their trains from the east have been running very lightly. Where yellow fever at New Orleans and in the present month usually witnesses crowded trains there is now abundance of room. No trouble about getting any sort of accommodation you may want on the through trains from all points in Arizona. The latter part of this month, however. the railroad people are expecting a change fo the better to occur. Frost ought to be dispelling the fever Tn the south by that time and the the s. P. will make up for some of the losses 1t has been sutaining. In the meantime the road has taken advantage of the light sea son to fix up it's passenger rolling stock, which it now has lnf fine shape. New paint and new upholstering are in evidence in all the cars in service while such equipment as is not in use is in the shops undergoing over hauling.

 Attention $ turning to the old Now ry mine country from a good many points just now. They are working about thirty men at the property and are said to be finding some very en- couraging things If the big sue cess that is expected is made at the Mowry there will be lot of activity in that quarter during the winter. Numerous prospectors have already gone there to be on the ground and ride with the wave of prosperity that they believe is coming that way.
 Reported placer finds in the Terri tory and Sonora have recently caused a good deal of discussion regarding this class of mining. In connection herewith the editor of the Benson | Press says: There is a lot about gold dredging that Is very far from generally understood" He is an eC pert dredgeman, having been connect | edwith some of the biggest enter prises of that kind carried on in Cal ifornia. 'The idea prevalent" says the editor, "that there must be a great water supply or a river availa ble in order to successfully carry o1 gold dredging is an entirely false one Dredging can be more profitably con ducted with a comparatively small water supply than it can be where there is a great deal of water tc deal with. All the water necessary is enough to float your boat in pond or basin that you may form on youl i dredging ground. Of course you need a small supply running into this bash to take care of the loss in water i'm pounded from seepage and evaporation but more than that you do not need In fact, more than absolutely enough is a intolerance and cause of loss !, With gravel of sufficient depth and bed rock of smooth character, togeth CT with a little water at not to great distance from the point of operation dredging is entirely feasible anywhere in Arizona or Sonora"

JAMES MCKINNEY
Is IN THE RACE
AIedo Man VIII Be Candidate For Con-
eress-Is Third Man in Northern
Section of District.

Announcement is made of the can
didacy of Hon. James Mckinney, of
AledO, for the congressional nomina
ton in the Fourteenth district. Mer-
Ger county has never had a congress
man, and for that reason feels that
she has some claim to the honors that
will be conferred upon some county OF
the district at the next convention.
Mr.. Mckinney is a man well known,
not only in his own district, but
throughout the state. Since 1894 he
has been a member of the republican
state central committee and during
the last two presidential campaigns
has been on the executive committee.
His candidacy had been expected, as
the other Aledo possibilities had all
retired in his favor. AS the situation
now stands, the southern section of
the district has one candidate and the
northern counties, Rock Island and
Mercer, have three.
