Want the Strip

Charles Canall, county assessor, who has just returned from a trip to the northern part of the county across the Colorado river, says the Mormons in that section are very anxious to have that portion of Arizona annexed to Utah. The principal argument is that that section is filled with men of danger ous character. During his travels in the strip MT. Canall did not meet with any bad men, nor did he hear of acts of lawlessness, and he be- lieves that no such condition exists as represented. He says the strip is rich in timber, mineral and graz ing lands, and this is the proba ble reason why Utah wants the strip. A school is maintained at Fredonia, a Mormon settlement, at consider able expense to this county, and so far as Coconino county is concerned, it would willingly give that stake to Utah if they would promise not to start another settlement in the strip.-Sun.

What Time Proves

This thing of being sick and look ing for cure is mighty serious business. People are not given to joking even at the first symptom of the approach of the Grim Destroyer. They do not want to be the subject of experiments, but want medicine that has had the test of years be- hind it. A medicine that has been made and used for 20 years gives assurance of its worth, and can be taken with faith that they have the very best cure the world affords. All this can be said about Dr. Gunn's Improved Liver Pills as remedy for sick-headache, dyspep- sia and indigestion, it begins right at the source of the trouble and re- moves the cause.

Big Strike at Jerome

Undoubtedly one of the most inn portant strikes ever made in the Je- rome district has been made in the Cleopatra Company's property. Some time ago this ledge was cut by a drift from the main or Dillon tunnel. The heavy rains, that soaked the hills thoroughly, found their way into this ledge in great quantities, causing hundreds of tons of ledge matter to cave from the top, sides and ends of the drift, ex- posing a showing that is a wonder ful surprise to those who have seen it, and has created much excitement in the district. The broken up and decomposed condition of this ledge shows that the richer values have been dissolved out by natures teaching process and redeposited below or at water base.

MINERS PECULIAR DEATH.

'Fainting Man Fell on Powers, Knock.
ing His Head Against Shafts Side.
An inquest in the case Of John Pow

Consolidated mine at Butte, shows
that the accident was one of the most
peculiar in the history of Butte. From
the testimony it appears that Patrick
Lynch, one of the men going down in
the cage with Powers, tainted and fell
against Powers, his head striking
against the side of the shaft His
head was terribly gashed and death
must have been instantaneous, al
though his companions did not realize
that he was even hurt until the lower
level of the mine was reached.
John Garner, miner at the Levia-
THAN mine at Mammoth, was almost
blown to pieces by blast. His part
ner escaped death by the narrowest
margin, being hurled a short distance
and badly bruised. Garner appears to
have miscounted the blasts as they
exploded, returning to the charge just

Music.


The Jews have an old tradition that when
the world was done,
And God from His work was resting, He
called to Him. one by one,
The shining troops of the angels, ana
showing the wonder wrought,
The Master asked of His servants what
they of the vision thought.
Then one white angel. dreaming DER the
marvel before him spread,
Bent low in humble obeisance, lifted his
voice, and said:
Zone thing only is lacking-praise from
the newborn tongue,
The sound Of hallelujah by the great
crea ton sung"
So God created music-the voices of lana
and sea,
And the song of the stars revolving in
one vast harmony.
Out of the deep uprising, out from the
ether sent.
The song of the destined ages thrilled
through the armament.
So the rivers among the valleys, the
murmur of wind-swept hill,
The seas and the birdthrilled woodlands
utter their voices still:
Songs of stars and of waters, echoes of
vale and shore
The voice of primeval nature prcising
Him eVermOre.
And the instruments men have fashioned
since time and the world were
With gifted fingers giving the metal and
wood a tongue,
With the human voice translating the
souls wild joy and pain
Have Swelled the undying paean. have
raised the immortal strain

daily. to the use of coffee q had been
a coffee drinker for 80 years., but /
found it very hard to give up the bev.
erage.
81 realized that l must give up the
harmful indulgence in coffee but I
felt the necessity for a hot table
drink, and as tea is not to my liking,
was at loss for awhile what to do.
zone day l ran across a very sen,
sible and straightforward presenta-
ton of the claims of Postum Food
Coffee, and was SO impressed thereby
that concluded to give it a trial. My
experience with it was unsatisfactory

to be a most palatable and satisfac-

ever since.
"The effect on my health has been
most salutary. 1t has completely
cured the heart palpitation from which
used to suffer so much, particularly
after breakfast, and l never have re-
