YAvAPAI COUNTY.

The Cumberland mine at Crown King will resume work Thursday, after close down of some time on account of the late winter and spring rains. The company began the in stallation of air drills in the mine last week.
 E. A. Haggott, superintendent of the Blue Bell mining properties north of Prescott, says that good progress is being made and that the main shart on the principal mine is down over 500 feet Drifts are to be started when the 700 foot level is reached.
 The White mine, on the Hassayam- pa, Is to be equipped with all the nee essary machinery for a modern mill ing plant. The mill will be a twenty stamp one, with concentrators and other adjuncts. The grade for the new mill will be finished in about fifteen days. Buildings are being erected and other Improvements made.

knows the world and who has seen but not lived the phases of life" A sufficient income is very necess- ary. Miss Helen J. S.. of Wellesley, thinks that moderate wealth seems almost a necessity for a young man to possess or be capable to earning if he wishes a college girl for a wife" Ideas of moderate wealth differ. Five thousand dollars a year seemed rather d happy average.
 With strictest economy the college girls think that they could live on S5.OOO a year. but in addition "a few thousand dollars saved up before mar riage is a very desirable thing" No love in a cottage for them. Between you and me, think that a man whose earning power does not extend beyond a cottage is not worth as much as the taxes on the aforesaid structure"
 This, however. does not include to- bacco for the young husband. AS Miss B.. of Smith College, writes, smoking does your husbands no good and is a needless expense"
 If these requisites in "The Ideal Husband" are not forthcoming spin sterhood is preferable. As Miss NJ. of Barnard college puts it. "To us there is no stigma in the title of old maid and no dread in our hearts as we look forward to it."
 It is more likely that there would be dread in the heart of the man who had the courage to propose to such predetermined young women. Since they do it. and successfully too. as the Vassar class-day statistics prove, may be the college girl keeps "The Ideal Husband" for only magazine purpos-

ore shipments go forth regularly since the mine has been reopened. and the development of the other company properties is encouraging.
 Douglas Gray, the ore purchasing agent of the Fl Paso shelter has en- tered into negotiations for the pur- chase of the Hershal property in this district, and it is not unlikely that this famous producer will be entered with the actively worked mines very short ly. Some preliminary work looking to a thorough examination of the lower workings, stopes and drifts, is to be instituted at once and if the deal closes a force of men Is 10 be put to work at once. A gravel hoist and well timbered shaft is part of the equipment of the Hershal. Some of the richest ore encountered in the dis trict has been taken from this mine and has paid handsome dividends to the owners for many years during it's operation.

 Miss H., of Smith college, says: "The quickest way to change an ideal is to marry it." Miss HIS. ideal is "a big, clever creature perfectly at home in her world She objects to "a small man or widower with six children.
 Miss Sarah C., of the University of Minnesota, favors the abolition of the proverbial maiden's blush and show of mOdesty. which too often divides hon. ors between a yelled coquetry and an absurd self consciousness She pre- fers "to greet a man with a good warm handcIasp."

The Population of Japan.

According to a recently published i abstract of the latest Japanese census reports. the population of the mikado's empire is increasing rapidly, though not as fast as that of the United | States. Excluding our gain from inn | migration, it is probably growing fas- ter than the population of this coun- try. The reports cover the eleven years from 1893 to 1903. In the former year the popultion, exclusive of Formosa, numbered 41,3SS,313, and in 1903 it was 46,732,S4 an increase of more than 13 per cent. During the decade between the last two censuses the rate of in crease in this country was 20 per cent.
 In Japan the average number of 1, births in the ten years ended in 1902 was 1,34O,00O. This gives a birth rate of 32 per 1000, which is much higher than in most other countries. The death rate of 19 per 1000 is lower than the average of American large cities but higher than that of our smaller towns. The urban population is increasing fast. and the same steady movement of country people toward the cities that is so noticeable in the United States is apparent in Japan.
 The Japanese empire is approxi- mately the same size and has about the same population as the United Kingdom, the excess in both compari- sons being in favor of Japan, which
 
 and 46,732,S41 people. while the Un- ited Kingdom has 12O,s27 square miles and 41,6O5,177 population. If another country the size of Scotland could be added to the United Kingdom it would be almost exactly the size of Japan. In this connection it is interesting to note that the size of Montana is only 1865 square miles smaller than the entire Japanese empire, and yet it has but 243, 329 population.
 The comparison is instructive not only in showing the vastness of the United States, but in making apparent the utter significance of mere area without population. So far as size goes Montana is an empire in itself, but 1t IS not the geographical extent of a country that makes it an empire in the broad sense of the term; it is the num- bers, and more particularly the. char acter of its people. It is interesting to reflect on the position this nation will occupy in the affairs of the world when the trans Mississippi region is populated as densely as the Atlantic coast now is.
