i8 HOURS OF SNOW AT CROWN
 KING.
Special Correspondence.

GROWN KING, Ariz., Nov. 27.
 After n continuous snow storm of al-
 most forty.cight hours duration, which
 ended Saturday evening, it was found
 that about fifteen inches had fallen
 at Crown King. On Towers and Horse Thief Mountains there is from two to three feet of snow and travel is al.
 mos, impossible by the mountain trails. Turkey Creek and Middleton are the
 only points on the Bradshaw Mountain
 railroad that did not receive snow. This is the earliest that such s heavy
 fall has occurred for years and those
 who claim to be "wise" 10 the signs and omcns forctell an unusually severe
 winter. One particularly reliable sign that the winter will be severe is the
 fact that there is a dearth of fuel throughout the country.
 Louis Braconi, a miner employed at the Crown King mine, was the victim of curious accident early Monday morning, in which he had both legs broken. Braconi was working night shift, and in company with George Brown, was engaged in catching up the cave.in in the main tunncl. A large rock was suddenly detached from the roof and struck Barconi, knocking him down. Doctor Mcdonnell was imme. diatcly summoned and upon examina. tion found that one leg was broken in three places and the other in two. The sufferer is now resting easily in Dr. McDonncll's hospital, and will prob ably survive the accident. Tho rock which fell on Barconi was 70 heavy that his working partner, Brow,, was unable to remove it without the .il of bar. It was great miracle that the unfortunate miner was not killed outright.
 Work on the Crown King Wild flower wagon road was suspended fo- several days during the storm, but has been resumed again. and will be push. cd to completion.
 Mir Saylor of Oklahoma, died at the residence of his son, Joseph Saylor, of Harrington, November 23, 1906, of an acute attack of rheumatism. Mir. Sayior came to Arizona about three weeks ago, for the benefit of his health. but declined steadily from the day of his arrival. Undertaken Maus of Pres. colt took charge of the remains md | prepared them for shipment to okla homa. where they will be inferred.
 The Ventura Mining company, oper. ating on Castle Creek, now have their working shaft down about 100 feet and have started to drift both ways on the vein. The shaft has been in good ere all the way, and it is expected that the drifts will open up n good deal of milling ore. The Ventura is about the only mine operating on Upper Castle Creek at present.
 The Los Angeles parties who have secured options on Walnut Grove prop erty lying along the Hassayampa and tributary creeks, are getting things il shape to commence placer mining on X large scale. Bed rock is quite deep at that point, and it was reported at the time fine fousdation was dug for the lsm that quite lsrgr gold values were found wherever the true bed rock waS uncovered.
 Assessment work on the Walnut Grove dam is being pushed and 1t is possible that work may continue until t is completed. The building of tbis lam is a big enterprise and meaps yood deal to this portion of the coun. try. REGINALD PERCIvAL.

MANY LOCATIONS MADE IN NEW
 DleTRICT.

No better evidence can be presented of the great confidence of the mining syndieates and companies operating in the Copper Creek section of the Flu fcka district of the immense resources of that region than the fact that since assuming control of properties there, the representatives of the principal con cerps have had men constantly engaged in exploring the surrounding country and making new locations.
 Almost daily new punches of location notices arrive in the County Recorder s oficc, not only from the representatives of the American Mines and Exploration company and the 0iroux syndicate, but also from prospectors and miners, who have becn attracted to the district by tho activity of the large concerns, which are installing heavy mining ms. ehincry, at great expense, and pushing development work with large forces of men.
 Snec the latter pnrt of last May, W. T. Hook, connected with the 0iroux syn. dicste, has had 102 locations recorded, @ of which were made since September 1. This number does not include an. ether large number of claims stsked during the past month, which will, in all probability, be recorded as soon as tho necessary ten feet of location work is finished within 90 days after the date of location.
 John II. IIise and his associates have not been idle. They have recorded I9 claims located since the latter part of July, 10 of which were made in the month of September, and they are said to have another group located which will be placed on record later, as soon as the location work is finished.
 Less active than the others. Henry Voge of this city, and his associates have had five locations recorded since the acquisition of properties on such barge scale was commenced. a number of other prospectors and miners having groups ranging from five to ten claims which have been recorded with the work of exploration being con. tiuued with increasing energy as the time passes.
 The attention of investors as well as is also being attracted to the region John II. Hise having recent. ly sold three'eighth interest in his Copper Penny group of II claims to II. | Barclay Brown of Los Angeles, ncgotia. lions being also under way for the pur. chase of other promising properties.
 One great drawback to the region, particularly affecting the prospcctor md miner without ample means at his is the distance from railroad the district embracing | stretch of country from twenty eight 70 fifty miles distant from the nearest accessible railroad station, Hillside, on he $. r. P. < P. Three preliminary sur. 'eys have been made from different points on the \. F. P. 4 F., and it Is be. ieved that line will be built into he place this coming year.

Take the Japanese, who would have
believed Is years ago that the Japs
would be teaching England how to re-
organize and equip her army or that
she would have humbled in the dust
the mightiest and proudest military
power on earth. 1t is specimen of
what one of the inferior races can and
may do to the superior races.
The first great epoch in the opening
the door of Africa. Some six hundred
white men lost their lives in the ex-
ploration, but the work is done; now
remains the civilization and christian
ising.
Division of Africa.
The next great step in the breaking
up of darkest Africa, was the division
ing of it among the great powers Of
the earth, the assuming of the respon-
sibilities of civilizing by the white
man. At the present time only two in
dependent powers remain, weak little
Liberia on the west coast and bar
barous Abysinna on the east coast,
all the remainder of the continent is
parseled out among the nations of
Europe. 1t is great benefit to Africa
and is doing untold good. The gov
ernments are developing the country,
making it more healthy by study of
disease, and introducing schools and
technical and agricultural training.
All of these things pave the way for
christianity.
Bishop Hartzell believes that COM
merce and trade are the best friends
of the missionary, exclaiming have
no room under my supervision for a
missionary who cannot see the con-
nection between steel locomotive
and prayer meeting.
Eulogixed Rhodes.
At this point in his address, Bishop
Hartzell took occasion to eulogize the
late Cecil Rhodes. He was an init
mate friend of the bishops and lent
him and all all other missionaries all
the aid in his power. The speaker
classed him among the best and great
est men of the age and declared that
no man, except perhaps Washington,
had been SO misrepresented and lied
about. He was great, unselfish and
kind of heart. seeking not his own ag-
grandizement, but the advancement of
the English empire because he believ-
ed it was the best for the people of
Africa. The bishop visited the colleges
in England a short time since in which
the Rhodes scholars are being edu-
Gated and delivered an address and
mentioned these from the Dakotas.
The last and greatest work to oe
done in Africa, is the bringing OF
christian civilization to its teeming
millions. This was discussed at length
and the bishop told of his travels over
the continent. His circuit is $4,000
miles in length and he has Travelled II
five times since he has been bishop
of Africa. He has done and is doing
a great work and has the help and
sympathy of the people of all denomi-
nations in the United States and
Europe.

GREAT POSSIBILITIES.
OF CONTINENT OF
AFRICA
Bishop Hartzell of the Metho.
dist Church Delivered Ad.
dress in the City.

Yesterday morning the people of
Grand Forks were fortunate enough to
be addressed by Bishop Hartzell,
presiding bishop of Africa for the
Methodist Episcopal church. 1t was
one of the interesting events in church
circles for the year and was enjoyed
by an audience which filled the church
to the doors. Bishop Hartzell is
venerable looking man with simple
manner of address, earnest, practical
and to the point. His theme yester-
day was, of course, Africa" and he
called attention to the prophecy of
the Salmist, "Then will Ethiopia
stretch out her hands towards Cod"
He dwelt upon the ancient history of
North Africa and the great wealth
which the ancients drew from her in
exaustible treasures. 1t has been
known to, history for thousands Of
years, was the cradle of civilization
and promises to spring into life in the
future with greater life and greater
civilization than the world has ever
seen.
Rich Continent.
1t is one of the richest of the con-
tinents, and has a population of $780,
100000 of people and 1850, 100000
square miles of land. 1t has many
modern and growing cities with un-
expressibly rich resources. The city
of Kimberly in South Africa is the
most important gold mining center in
the world today and in few years
will be city of 10000 inhabitants.
There is more gold in the earth about
the city than there is in circulation in
the world today. The continent has a
great future and needs the aid of the
christian people of the world.
No Inferior Races.
Bishop Hartzell declared that there
were no inferior races, what do we
know of inferior or superior races.
There are, however, more favored and
less favored races, The negro of to-
day is the unfavored race, but tomor-
row. in the building of race, he may
be the favored race. In 100, 500 or
1000 years we do not know but that
mighty empire may be built in Africa
by the black man.

tipping has become such we'll es-
tablished custom that in some places
it Is demanded as q right; II a trav-
eler should refuse to pay the usual
blackmail, have no doubt the serv-
ants would have him arrested, and GER
tainly the English magistrate would
fine the traveller.
Your ticket on P. e. o. boats stipu-
lates that you hasa paid passage and
stewards fees, but the tipping null
sance goes on just the same. Every
passenger grumbles, and would prefer
different system. The man who
serves our meals expects tip. al
thought you certainly paid the steam
ship company for your meals. The
man who makes up your bed expects
q tip; the man who admits you to a
bathroom expects q tip, as does the
man who moves your chair on deck.
The head waiter and the steward also
expect tips. The barber who shaves
you will not name a price; you may
give him what you like, he says; but
whatever you give him, he is not salts
fed.
II the P. & o. company would estab-
lish a tip schedule, that passengers
might know the usual and correct
thing. it would be better, but there is
no such thing, and every traveller is
rendered uncomfortable by having a
lot Of disseminated servants standing
about looking growls. You hear a
great deal about the low prices at
which servants work in the Orient. It
seems to be fiction. certainly pay
two or three prices for everything.
II you have a rickshaw man to haul
you a few blocks, no matter what you
pay him, you have row with him.
recently paid rickshaw man exactly
double the legal schedule and he
promptly demanded more.
It is not only the extortion, it is the
annoyance. No traveller cares to fight
his way through foreign countries
And that is what. it amounts to. The
native poster you to patronize them,
and when you do patronize them you
are in trouble. The grumbling is be-
coming 80 pronounced that it may
finally result in travel falling OF. II
this may be hoped for, then let the
extortion and annoyance continue, for
anything that will keep travellers at
home will prove. a genuine blessing.

A young lady friend of our acqualnt-
ance has recently received d shock.
Among her extensive male acquaint-
ances there Is a blue eyed youth. He
goes much into society and Is a hot ia
vorite among the nicer sex because Of
his eyes. Alack. One Of them Is glass.
But there Is no need, as he says, for
every one to know that, and, really, 1t
seems so much the counterpart of the
other that not one In a hundred would
detect It, On this occasion he escorted
the young lady in question to q re-
freshment room. AS they were taking
tea and coffee he looked unutterabe
things at her, when all of sudden she
gave vent TO a startled exclamation
Her eyes fixed on his with a mysterl-
GUS intentness and horror. A fly had
settled in the center of his glass eye
and remained there, he, of course, I'M
conscious of its presence. The sight of
that eye looking ut her with a fly on 1t
and the owner making no attempt to
brush it Off, was too much for his com
panion. 1t overpowered her, and she
shudders when she recalls the cireum-
stance London Answers.

A Woman md 40.

You give a woman $40 and then Dor
row 72 cents from her and see what
will happen. Two days later you casu-
ally inquire what has become of the
$40. She tells you she has not had $40.
You waive the question whether she
ever had $40 and ask her if she has
SO now, and finally get n reluctant
admission that she Is penniless. Then
you follow up the inquiry and discover
that she has bought nothing. Then you
are ready with the final charge. What,
then, did you do with the S10r and
that blessed woman Will come back at
you like this. You gave me $40 and
then borrowed 1t back" That Is the
way your 70 cents becomes n boomer
ang that smashes you and your $40 to
smithereens. And yet. In spite Of all,

cents and get more out of II and make
