The Year 1907 Will
 Be Very Disastrous

Lee J. Spangler, of York, better known as Pennsylvania's prophet, Gho several years ago predicted the San Francisco earthquake and many other disasters, has issued his 1907 bulletin.
 Among other things in his tenth consecutive prophecy he says:
 "Russia will lose its Car and the Turks their Sultan, and all of the kings of the nations will fall There will be fights and disturbances in the religious wor and the end of tbe world will be within two years. There will be great famine. and the rivers of the world will be dried up. Many of the rulers and prominent fnanciers will hang themselves on ac- count of finar cial troubles. There will be numerous railroad accidents, and smashing up of cars; tidal waves will rise and destroy the seaboard towns many earthquakes throughout the world will occur; islands will disappear and mountains will Lot be found, and Lightning rods will be of no conse- quence in checking the vicious ligLt- ming which win prevail
 There will be political disturbance: and labor will be arrayed against capital. The devil will be let loose and mans foes will be in his owr household. Mothers-:n-law will bt arrayed against daughters-in law There will be kitchen scraps anC families will be unable to obtair help.
 "In 1908 the stars will fall. King Edward will pass away as the las King of England. New York will b' destroyed by fire

He had been working ou the Yaqui River road but latterly on what is known as the West Coast road. Both lines are far from complete, there being more than l,C0O miles oi con- struction yet.
 Labor is extremely difficult to ob- tain. The Southern Pacific has agents in almost every state in the union, looking for men, but the supply is not nearly equal to the demand. NIT. Csshion says there will shortly be D. 200 Chinese employed in the work.
 NIT. Cashion expected the Grant Bros. outfit, which has been engaged on the Santa Fe running into Search. light, Nevada, to arrive in Phoenix | soon, possibly as early as next Friday, when work will be resumed on the Arizona & California.

Arizona Indians
 Want Schools

Chief Novad of the Mohave-Apache tribe, living on the upper Verde, was a visitor at the office of Governor Kib- bey yesterday, being accompanied by Chief Captain Cava and Peter Ocotilla, an interpreter. The Indians mission at the executive chamber was the sy- ing before the governor of plea fer desired is for tine education Of the youngest Indians, a primary school. The Indian children when old enough are sent to the Indian school at Phoe- nix, but what the red men want is a school where the little fellows can be started in early. They want them to get of at the crack of the pistol, as it were, at the same point where the pale face start. As it is now, the white children start in the public schools at 6 years of age. An Indian child, to s;art at that age, would have to be separated from its parents for months, and this is not practical. The mat ter was carefully noted by Governor kibbey, who was much P eased and not little surprised at the manifes- tation of desire for the education of their youngsters by the Indians. He will take the matter up with the proper authorities at Washington Phoenix Gazette.

Charleston Bridge
 An Absolute Necessity

In the interest of Tombstone and her commercial interests it is ab- solutely necessary that bridge be constructed over the San Pedro river at or near Charleston, and it might be said, that such bridge is also needed by the people residing in the lower end of the county and especially in the Huachuca mountains. The re- lations of the people in that part of the county are not what they ought to be, and simply because of the absence of such bridge. It behUoyes the i'm fuential rombstoneites to put their shoulders to the wheel, and if they do, the bridge will soon be reality and not "desire."

EArizona copper stocks hay ing any backing at all are steadily climbing on the cas- tern markets The fact is not only an indication of how the future of the metal market Is regarded by investors, but It is also testimonial to the sub stantial nature of sOuthwes- tern mining operations. and the confidence the mining ln- terests of this section inspire. Among the southwestern cop per mines are some of the most successful and conserv- atively managed industries in the world. The records ot production are a marvel oi rapid development, and the industrial and financial meth ods of these companies are recognized as sound. The southwestern copper region has attained the sound posi- tion occupied by Michigan and Montana Arizona should set itselfsterniy and unitedly against the false propositions such as have characterized the Nevada fields.

The Way Hung Lin
 Hanged HimseIf

Hung Lin, citizen of the Celestial Empire, who was confined in the county jail, being held as a United states prisoner charged with being unlawfully in the country, commit ted suicide last night by hanging him self. Lin was confined in one of tho steel tanks on the west side of the Jail in the door of which is a small barred opening which is about four feet from the ground. Lin made con- siderable preparations for taking his
 lie. lie first removed all of his cloth ing, not leaving a stitch on. He then
 passed his que around one of the small
 bars Tn the opening in the cell door and around his throat. He then de-
 llberately slid his feet out from under
 him and let the weight his body hang
 by his que until he chokei to death.
 the front part of his neck was cut
 somewhat by the silk cord that bound
 his neck. He must have been game
 to deliberately allow himself to choke
 U death, when by raising on his feet
 he could have relieved what suffering
 he must have endured. The body was found this morning by the guards of the jail when they went to open the door to let the Chinaman out to get his breakfast.
 Lin was arrested in this city on Saturday last by Chinese Inspector Connell at the depot just as he step- ped from the train, where a vegetable Chinaman from Fairbank was wait Ing to meet hum. 1t has developed since that Lin had just come across the line from Hermosillo, Mexico. ey- ldently eluding the immigration in- spectors along the line, as he had no 'chock chee." Last night Immigra- ton Inspector Cornell visited the iail and took the measurement of Lin go as to keep description of him. This no doubt caused the terri lied Chink to think that something dreadful was about to happen perhaps that Cornell was taking his measure Tor coffin and that he would be ready for it in the morning. At any ate he has saved the government the expense of his deportation, but will probably cost the county the expense 't his burial unless the friends of the deceased at Fairbank take charge of he funeral.
 Lin was to have had his examina- ion before the court commissioner in he morning.
 As coon as the body was discovered onornor Mcfarland was notified ho with jury viewed the remainsat ie jail and then adjourned to ,he 'roner's office, bringing in a verdict the effect that deceased was named ung Lin and that he came to death
 strangulation caused by himself th suicidal intent.

YaquI Indians Again
 on the Warpath

4 special to the Citizen from No gales, gives some details of mas sacre ot Mexicans by hostile Yaquis, that occurred at the station of Rencho on the line Of the Cananea, Yaqui River X Pacific railroad, in sonora, on Saturday.
 It is a mallstaUion and was D oplcd entirely by Mexicans with the single exception of foreman for the rail road company, named Thompson. The attack was made very unexpectedly as there had been no sign Of the Indians in the vicinity and the Mexicans were poorly prepared to resist. It is no, improbable that all at the station would have been killed only for the timely arrival of the train which had quite a number on board to reinforce those at the station and which incl dent frightened tie attacking party soon after the assau was made. The single American, Thompson, was un- injured.
