The Best Part

"The daily press records the names
weekly of hundreds who have gone
down IN the tide, The odds are fear
fully against u.s.
THE places Of vice about us, the
houses of amusement around us are
open night and day while the church
unlocks it's doors only now and then
during the week. With this sort OF
competition the spiritual forces will
fail. How grave the condition, how
awful the responsibility, how great the
opposition. Does not the situation
therefore appeal to every young man
within hearing Of my voice and who
may read this column to buckle on the
armor and enter the lists with me to
rescue these sons and brothers2 If It
was your own flesh and blood / am
sure you would rush in where angels
fear to tread. You would make every
sacrifice. every endeayor, every nerve
count for their rescue"

An appeal then was taken to the

Everything Looks
 Good for Arizona

One of the most encouraging signs for Arizona at the present is the way her mining stocks are selling in the eastern mining centers, says the Phoe. nix Gazette. Scarcely a day passes but there is recorded some big advance in the prices paid for territorial min ing shares, and these prices, be i, known, generally stick to the higher plane, or at most, decline but frac- tion where the advance was recorded in full points.
 There is but one deduction to bs drawn from this and that is the in vesting public is at last beginning te realize that more really gilt-edged in. l vestments are to be found in Arizons mining stocks than in those of any other section of the country. And the best part of this awakening to the real worth of this commonwealth in g mineral way is to be found in the fact that it's steady advancement is not the result of any sudden spasm oi highly colored boom, but is based upon actual conditions and is therefore per- manent.
 The present year has seen more capital invested in territorial mineral lands, and more miners, prospectors and financiers come into the terri tory than in any half dozen years com- bined before in it's history, and if this proportion of growth is but continued it will be but a few years before Ari- zona will stand at the very head of all mineral producers in the world.

Abram SaIcido Still Lives

1mmigrption Commissioner Webb 1 says that Abram Salcido, leader of the
 Mexican revolutionists, arrested at | Douglas, has not been shot to death
 by the Mexican officers. as reported. Salcido, with sixj others, is in jail at
 Hermosillo, awaiting trial on charge
 of treason and revolutionary actions. 1 They are being we'll cared for and will
 be given hearings according to the
 laws ot their country. If convicted
 they will be sentenced to serve time. Webb is now holding for trial two
 more Mexicans, who were citizens of , the United States, and will be tried in this country. Their testimony and what they know will be necessary to the Mexican government before it can prosecute the seven revoiutionists
 held at Hermosillo.
 Webb corrects an impression that
 the United States purposely turned
 over to the Mexican government the
 men with the exception of Salcido.
 That the rcvolutionists will not be shot down has been promised by the Mexican government. Before taking them to Mexico, Webb had the mat ter up with the department at Wash ington, D. o., which received assur- ances from the Mexican officials that the men would be given a fair and impartial hearing according to the laws governing such cases as theirs in Mexico.
 During the past few months Con- missioner Webbs department has been devoting much of it's time to the capture and deportation of aliens who have entered the country contrary to | the laws. This has resulted in the arrest and deportation of large num- Der of them.
 By enforcing tte head tax law, Webb is collecting about s2OO month along the Arizona and New Mexico border. Each alien, who enters the is obliged to pay a head tax ,f g. In addition he must have though means to take him to his al- eged destination and to be in good { 'odil health.

As previously announced, the Calu-
 met X Arizona Mining company has secured two new mining properties in this territory. These will be paid for
 out of the company's treasury surplus,
 which on October l, amounted to $4,-
 zS0, 900; in this surplus copper on hand
 amounting to about third of the years production, was figured at ii cents. if at selling price of today this surplus would be fully $6OO,O 900 more.
 It is interesting to note, in passing, that the earnings oi the Calumet & Arizona since November 15, 1902, when it's first 300-ton furance was blown ID, have been sufficient to pay $5.OOO. .OCO dividends and accumulate this sur plus, as we'll as to make betterments that have cost at least s1, ,OOO, 900 more. It may be doubted if any legitimate en- terprise of similar capital has ever done so we'll. The actual investment in this property when organized in Ma oh, 1901, was $1, 900, 900.

A Catastrophe
 Narrowly Averted

According to the story of a passen- ger on last evenings train from the | west, a disastrous accident was mar rowly averted only .he fraction of minute, saving the train from being ditched by a burning bridge while running at high rate of speed near Benson.
 The story is one which reads like fiction and is yet unpleasa mt on &C., count of the narrow margin by which the accident was averted. Yesterday on leaving Benson the train was fairly well filled with pas. sengers eastward bound. No one was thinking of any danger and the orii- nary run of the train..was looked for ward to as a certainty.
 About eight miles out of Benson a small trestle spans an insignificant gully and this, the Bisbee Miner says, proved to be the point of danger which came near causing fatal as we'll as costly wreck for some of the passen- gers and the road
 Nothing was apparently the matter
 with the trestle, and the train with unabated speed dashed across it. Or getting across. the engineer was as founded to see that tbe trestle wal
 burning and was almost ready to fall
 No smoke was issuing from the fire oI

 had been made.
 The train wss backed and in a fe, g minutes the fire was extinguished. It was then found that tine fire ha D SO far destroyed the underpinnin : that the rails were almost hanging y themselves across the gap. These ha

 it is wonderful that the passage ws
 safely made. It is supposed, the ger tleman stated, that the fire was star ed by sparks from 8 passing freigh
 train.
