Prosperity in Hines

Most encouraging news is coming in from every mining camp in the county. There are more than double the number of miners and prospectors in the various mining districts at the present time, than there has been at this season for several years. The mines are looking spendidly, the ore is rich, the veins grow wider and richer as depth is attained, the results ob- tained are satisfactory, and the miners are determined to do the best winters work that has ever been done. All of which renders the mining prospects better than ever before in the history of Yuma county.

LET US GET ON THE HAP.

Mir. A. T. Taylor, representing the Calkins Newspaper Syndi- cate of San Francisco, California, is in Yuma. Heis engaged upon a work covering the government reclamation and irrigation pro- iects for the Orchard and Farm Magazine, one of the ten publi- cations owned and controlled by the Calkins Newspaper Syndi cate. The work will be thorough, exhaustive and beautifully illus trated, and will appear in the August number of Orchard and Farm, 1907.
 The next Irrigation Congress will convene in Sacramento, Cal. on September 1, 1907, and it will be the purpose of the Calkins Newspaper Syndicate to see that each delegate receives a copy of this number. One hundred thousand copies will be issued and judiciously circulated, so that the best results will be at tained.
 MT. Taylor will call upon the citizens of Yuma for the purpose of asking them to subscribe for a certain amount of space in this issue, the object being to illus trate and advertise Yuma. All the other cities and towns con- tiguous to government projects will be represented, therefore this is an opportunity that Yuma cannot afford to lose.
 The example of Imperial IS one that should be emulated by Yuma, as the beneficial results of their advertising are indisputable.
 Let us get on the map in capi- tai letters, and let Great Arizona and Greater Yuma be the future slogan.

We still have one or two men in this community who stand around on the street corners and from morning until night com plain about the town, their neigh. bors, their taxes and the weather. Such men are mighty common clay and it is fortunate we have so few of them. Such men are of no use to their town, their families or their God. They seem to live, but no one can tell how. Like mosquitoes and flies, they are not fatal, but disagree able to have about.

Our town has never enjoyed such trade as it has during the past few weeks, and every day it is increasing. The fact of the matter is, our business men have got right down to business and are selling goods cheaper than they can be bought in any town of this size in the territory, and the people are fast finding it out and are doing all their trading here, giving the city mail order houses the go-by.

EARLY FRUITS.

Yuma is acquiring reputation throughout the United States for the quality of her early fruits, which have no superior. The fact that shipments are made from four to six weeks earlier than from the most favored spots in California is sufficient evidence of the superior soil and climatic conditions, and the wealth to which horticulture in this section must lead.

Some one recently asked if we had ever seen a bald-headed woman. The answer was "No. :" Neither have we ever seen a woman sashaying around town in her shirt sleeves, cigar in mouth, running into every saloon she saw. We have never seen a woman go fishing with a bottle in her pocket, sit on the damp ground all day and come home drunk at night. Nor have we ever seen a woman yank off her coat and say she could lick any man in town. God bless her, she's not built that way.

In these days of strife between two great political parties we must remember that after all we are just a band of brothers here on earth, travelling from the era dle to the grave. We live side by side, our children attend the same school, and after the smoke has cleared away we will still be friends and neighbors. Let the bitter things go unsaid. At best life is short, and we get out of it a full measure of sorrow. Let us in our little city live as one big, good natured family.

BUILD UP.
slogan.

The best way to build up a town is to stand by each and every one in the town who does right. When a man is doing we'll do not try to pull him down. All the residents of a town ought to be partners, not opponents. In all likelihood the more business your rival does the more you will do. Every business man who treats his customers honest ly, courteously and fairly will get his share, and the more busi- ness that can be secured by united effort the better it will be for all. When a town ceases to grow it begins to die, and the more people do to kill each other in their business and good name the more rapidly will utter ruin come to them all. Stand togeth. CT for the advancement of every citizen. If a man shows ability to prosper do not pull him back through jealousy or weigh him down with cold indifference.

Proclamation of
 Thanksgiving.
By the Governor of Arizona.

To the People of Arizona:
 Thanksgiving Day has become so much and so peculiarly an American institution that we look forward to it's near approach with feelings of grateful pleas ure.
 It had it's origin with the stur- dy pioneers of a new continent. It is hallowed by the customs of our people for nearly three cen turies. It is recognized by churches of every creed and has been embodied in our laws as the great annual American family festival of Thanksgiving for the mercies, prosperity and happi- ness of the closing year. The memories of the years gone by of happy family gatherings have especially endeared the day to us all, having to those, of whom there are so many of us, who have migrated from the scenes of their earlier years, a peculiar significance of the day.
 The president of the United States has by his proclamation designated Thursday, the 29th day of November, for it's obsefv- ance.
 By the law of the nation, and by the law of Arizona, it is made a legal holiday of the people of this prosperous community, to enable them fittingly and fully to observe and enjoy the ceremo- nies, all in their own manner, of Thanksgiving Day.
 Now, therefore, I, Joseph H. Kibbey, governor of Arizona, do hereby designate and appoint Thursday, November 29th, 1906, Thanksgiving Day, and recon mend it's observance and celebra- tion as such.
 In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the territory to be affixed. Done at Phoenix the capital, this first day of Novem- Der, 1906.
 [Seal] JOSEPH H. KIBBEY
 By the Governor.
 W. F. Nichols,
 Sec. of the Territory of Arizona.

We are in receipt of the "Mag- azine Style Code" from our much esteemed friend, author and ed. itor, Leigh H. Irvine. Some years ago It was our pleasure to have entertained MT. Irvine as a visitor in Yuma, and in acknowl- edging the receipt of the Style Code, the many happy incidents of that occasion are recalled. We have adopted the Style Code as our guide to proper English and the proof reader has gone on a strike.

Much attention has been given of late to Yuma county as an ag- ricultural region, but that great prospect should not overshadow the fact that Yuma is one of the richest mining counties in the territory. For years her gold placers and rich quartz mines have been among the best in Ar izona and the importance of her gold products will only begin to be appreciated at what they are worth when more active devel- opment begins within it's borders.

One thing can be truthfully said of the teachers in our public schools at the present time, and that is that their daily walk and conversation, and their moral lives are such as to form a good example for their pupils. Our pupils can safely follow the ex- ample of their teachers. When the roll is called up yonder' the teachers of our schools can all answer present" Good morals and good manners are taught in our schools, and the worthy ex- ample set by our present corps of teachers has a great influence in moulding the character of the youth of our city.

KILLS ROYAL CARRIAGE HORSES
Explosive Thrown from Only House in Madrid Owned by
 Mother of Monarch.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Madrid, June As King Alfonso $ wedding procession returning from the church was turning in to the royal palace a bomb was thrown at the kings carriage from the balcony of the only house in Madrid owned by the queen dowager, AlfouSO's mother. A telegraph wire deHected the course of che bomb and the explosive fell beside the carriage of the Grand Duke Vladi- mir, who was uninjured, but sixteen persons were killed, including Captain Barrossa. commanding the king S escort, the Marquis of Colusa and his daughter, several officers, soldiers and itizens.
 Two horses attached to the carriage in which the king and queen were rid ing were killed. The royal couple alighted and entered another carriage and were driven safely to the palace, where both wept although they dis played great calmneSS during the eX' ritement in the streets. The assassin escaped
 The marriage ceremony was per, formed by Cardinal SanchO in the church of San Geronimo in Del Rial street. All the adjacent streets were thronged with people, who cheered wildly when the bridal procession en- tered the church and when it came out, following all the way to the palace. In the panic which succeeded the bomb explosion many persons were tramDled and some were seriously hurt.
 The bridal gifts surpassed the dis play at any royal wedding in many wears and came from ail nations.

CHlCKAL00N GOAL ONLY
 WAITS FOR RAILROAD
All Preliminary Work Done and Min ing Can Begin With Advent
 of Transportation.
Veins Crop Out at Surface and There Is Nothing To Do but ExCa-
 ydte the Carbon

The coal mines of the Chickaloon river are developed to the shipping point and only await the advent of the railroad to carry the product to market. It required comparatively little work to develop the mines to that point as the coal crops out at the surface. There was really little to do but begin digging to make shipping mines of the coal measures.
 Frank Watson came to Seward on the Santa Ana and reports that he has taken off all but few of his men and the remaining crew will cease work next month. Until the railroad reaches the mines nothing can be done with the coal and as the road cannot be built that far within less than year it would be useless to do any further work on the property.
 The work done during the past year by Mir. Watson was merely to expose the veins. It consisted of clearing the surface to make the mines accessible and of tunneling in different places to test the quality of the coal. About 2000 feet of the vein has been blocked out in different places and everywhere an extraordinary quality of coal has been exposed.
 The coal by repeated tests has been proven to be superior to any other soft coal now mined in the United States except the Pocahontas coal of West Virginia and it is of the same grade as the Pocahontas, which is the steam ing coal of the United States naval vessels. The government buys the best coal obtainable for its warships When the Chickaloon coal is placed or the market naval vessels on the Pacific will undoubtedly obtain their supply 1 from that field. Assurances to that effect have already been received from the navy department as reports of experts have established the qualit! of the coal beyond question and it vii effect a large saving to the govern ment to buy its steaming coal for tho Pacific warships on that ocean.
 Mir. Watson brought down with hin a sample of Chickaloon coal which il plainly of wonderful quality. IL is ab solutely free from slate and when i burns it leaves nothing but ashes.

KNIK TO GET MAIL
 TWICE EACH MONTH
Department Let's Contract Which Will Give Regular Service Un-
 til October 3I

Knik will have regular mail ser vice twice a month until October 3l by way of the Inlet. The information came on the Santa Ana in note to the Gateway from Alvah Flames, chief clerk of the railway mail service for Southern Alaska.
 The contract undoubtedly goes to the Cook Inlet Transportation Con- pany. which operates the Toledo and Tyonic from Seldovia and now carries mail to Tyoonok. The letter from Mir. Flames does not state to whom the con- tract is awarded but Capt. Shaw of the Toledo was in Seward Sunday when the letter came and when informed of it's contents he said: "If the contract IS let it's ours"
 Before the expiration of this contract arrangements will no doubt be made for land service next winter. The attempt to secure a monthly land service failed last winter, in spite Of diligent effort by Alr Flames, because the department and the mail carriers could not agree upon compensation. A petitition has been sent in asking for post office at the head of naviga- tion on the Yentna. which k a short distance above the mouth of the Skwentna, to be called Youngstown. This will necessarily require a regular mail route. In summer, of course, the mail will be carried by river steamers from Tyoonok if the route Is established but after November l mail will have to 20 by land traii.
 At the present time between 59o and 400 men are in the Nentna district and every week adds to the number. h the belief in the richness ot ta. dis trict entertained by every man who has been there is justified by sum- mer developments it's population bg fall will be multiplied several cime,. Already a line of roadhouses from the end of the Alaska Central railroad track. which next winter will be on Turnagain Arm, is planned and travel will be heavy by way of Knik. lt should not be difficult to obtain reg ular mail service over the same route.

Ry oable to Tno paily eateway.

Seattle, May BOA proposition for a codifcation of Alaska laws by a com mission to be appointed for that pur- pose is made by U. s. Marshal Shoup of Juneau, who arrived from Washing ton last night. He advocated the pro- ject while in the capital and says it was received with favor.
 Mir. Shoup proposes that two lawyers be chosen from each district of the territory and two at large by the pre- sident and delegate in congress. He suggests that the commission meet in Fairbanks in July 1907, then proceed to Nome, St. Michael, Seward, Valdez and Juneau in order to study local con ditlons and make recommendations for new legislation.
 The bill for the creation of a fourth judicial district in Alaska is being strongly urged in Washington and Mr.. Shoup is hopeful that it may pass
