Why isit people leave the coun- try and flock to the towns and cities ? Cities are full of people who live from hand to mouth" and never acquire a home. They lose the spirit of independence the farmer has. If there is one reform needed more than another it is to increase the attractiveness of farm life so that the farms will draw people from the cities instead of the cities getting them from the farms.

A Farm and Ranch correspon

A Farm and Ranch correspon- dent defends the religious attitu- de of his community by stating that the people were not much on church going, but always paid the preacher. Too many people measure their religion in dollars and cents. We have heard of preachers resigning certain fields of labor to go to another field where the pay was much larger,
 and, offer as an excuse for mak- ing the change, that the Lord had called them to go, where in

Rural Free Delivery.

AS a gentle reminder of a verz important government mail ser vice question now before the peo- pie. I am having republished this week an article on rural free de- livery taken from the PostnasC- er's Advocate of Washington, D. C., it says Speaking of these weak little rural routes of the Southern States the Constitution would urge the very point of their remoteness from popular centers and the smalIness of their postal business as the reason why they deserve to be posted and encoura- ged in every possible way by the office department. The rural free delivery mail route is almost the sole link of public communi cation between these requested places and the great world with out. Many of them are a days journey fromga railroad station and have not access to the inter urban trolly line and telephone now so common in the rural dis trictS of the east.
 Many of the farmers living a long these rural postal routes do not find time in the busy season to go to the nearest postoffice oftner than once in fortnight or even once in month and their isolation could not well be more complete. The rural free delivery service has become a great factor of sociability, as we'll as a positive convenience of communication in their lonely lives.
 It keeps them in touch with the outside world. It is one of the refining influences of good civilization. !"
 The patrons of rural routes should bear in mind and be active at once on this splendid United States rural mail service and rally to it's aid in every possible manner.
 From April lst until July 1st, 1906, rural carrles are required to keep an account of every piece of mail handled by them and the routes that fail to handle over B. 900 pieces of mail per month will likely be discontinued.
 To maintain the service the public roads must be keptin good order, passible at all seasons of the year. The R. F. D. mail ser vice will eventually bring the country to a much better stand ard in public highways and in good enlightened citizenship all along the line. Keep these facts in mind and tell your neighbors about it. Exchange.

THE cERHo COLORADO.
Rehabilitation of an Old Property Near
 ArVaca.

The reopening of the Cerro Colorado mine in the Arivaca district brings back 2 flood of memories to the old time mining men and prospectOrs, says the Tucson Citizen. In the days when silver was high and yielded a good profit, the Cerro Colorado mine was worked on an extensive scale and was famous throughout Southern Arizona.
 The Cerro Colorado is seventy five miles south of Tucson. It is located near AriVaca. Years ago the mine yielded silver ore so rich that good profits remained above expenses of freighting the ore by wagons to Santa Fe, N. M. which was at that time the nearest railway point.
 The old workings at the mine com prise a tunnel 5000 feet long and a shaft 2SO feet which will be sunk a1 additional 800 feet. It is reported also that a crushing and concentrating plant will be built. This will depend on the water developed.
 At the present time there are about thirty miners at work on the property. A new steam hoist is in operation. The reports from mining men in from Ari- vaca state that there is renewed activ- ity in that district.

POLAND AND VICINITY.
New Corporation Takes Over the Old
 Express Mine.

Big Bug district, which has long enjoyed the distinction of being among the richest and most promising gold producing sections of northern AriZo- na was the scene last week of another mining deal of more than ordinary inn portance when the title to the Express mine passed from F. S. Campbell of Prescott. and F. c. Thomson of Wash ington. D. C.. to the Washington-Ar zona Mining Company. says the Jour nal-Miner.
 The new company is of recent organ ization. It is capitalized for $750,O00, and has for it's directorate such we'll known mining and professional men as John Mason Ross, of the law firm or Hawkins, Ellinwood & Ross; Cecil G. Fennen, who is operating the Glad stone and McCabe mines; Ed :. Camp bell and Eugene Greenwood, who are identified with other large mining con- cerns; H. E. Sigger and Andrew Will son, Washington capitalists, associat- ed with k. C. Thomson, an attorney connected with the United States pat ent office of the capital city, and a wealthy and ambitious young business man, who, during a recent visit here. decided to return and permanently To- cate in this city.
 The mine is located about 2,000 feet west of the mouth of the Poland tun- mel on the Poland side, and about the same distance from the terminus of the Poland branch of the Bradshaw Mountain railroad, from which it is proposed to construct a tramway to the tunnel on the ground for the transpOr- tation of ores to the cars, the wOr1 10 be commenced within a very few days.
 A tunnel 500 feet into the mountain along the vein, which taps three ore chutes in it's course of 500 feet in length, showing the vein to be prac- tically continuous throughout the en- tire distance, constitutes the principal development work on the ground. The face of this tunnel has attained a depth of 400 feet below the apex of the vein, and at this point it is proposed to sink a winze, besides continuing the tunnel along the vein through the mountain. An upraise from the winze will also be run to the surfact to be used as an air shaft and later a hoisting plant will be placed at the winze.
 The ore will be run over the new jramway and dumped into bins along the railroad track, where it will be loaded in the cars by the chute pro- cess and shipped to the Humboldt shelter.
 The ore is a sulphide, carrying values in gold and silver. A sample of 1000 pounds recently tested giving returns of S51 to the ton.
 The Poland mine, which furnishes ore for twenty-stamp mill, is in oper- ation day and night, short dist~~~- east of the Express mine, while regular shipments of concentrates are being made from the properties of the Mount Union Consolidated Mines company but two miles south which have bce'l developed rom mere prospects to q

 Good mining news comes also from Greaterville district.

With hopes as large as a balloon
You &C forth with your little hoe
Some warm and sunny afternoon
To plant the seeds you mean to grow.

And from the corner OF their eye
They watch you digging Up the ground
Where they Will frol!c by and by.

And laughs until II al "A lit

Comes out and says It's just too cute
For anything and quite the style
And that she always did like fruit.

About the things you're going to raise.
You tell her she'll be playing tag
With radishes In thirty days.
II really seems "A cruel thing
The truth upon a man to force.
But thirty days will only bring
A crop of weeds and some remorse.

Real poetry and real money rarely

1t takes a pair to make a home. Ever
three OF a kind won't suffice.
