Last Saturday was the biggest time
of the season SO far. The strand and
the Boardwalk teemed with %strollers,
both in full dress and a la bathe.
There were ten churches from the
Kensington district and several mill
excursions here with fully 5000 people
therein. There were five sections of
excursions approXimating go cars for
these visitors, aside from the dozen
through expresses which brought
several thousand guests to the hotels
for lengthy stays.
Among some of the combined *
cursion organizations We're the Re-

Two Exciting Fish Tales

A remarkable denizen of the sen was
landed by the crews of the pound fish
cries last week after an exciting couple
of hours tussle, in which several of the
sailors were hustled about in their at
tempts to land the monster. The fish,
for such it proved to be, is a gigantic
specimen of the deep sea sun fish and
weighs in the neighborhood of 1000 lbs.
Known locally as a "~sea-cow,o the
monster has two immense fins, n
underneath and one ON the back, and
presents anything but a handsome
appearance, with eyes as large as tea
cups and a human-like mouth and
overhanging forehead.
When the fishermen made the jour
ney to the pound nets three miles off
shore a disturbance was noticed in
them. After the nature of the ''crittero
had been determined, the proposition
to rope him up and bring him ashore
was carried out only after IA fierce fight
and when the fish had been tired out
with the tussle and tied up in nets aud
ropes. 1t was then lowed ashore
and dragged up on the beach where
hundreds of curious visitors marveled
over the odd proportions of the sea
cow From fin to fin, standing up in
TIE water, luo ISL uIdNS elSui ltel vi
water but is only some fifteen inches
through in the thickest part of his
body. 1t has been on exhibition at
the Casino pier.
" " y
Captain III. Warrington, of Wild
wood, made a remarkable capture with
hook and line while fishing for drum
fish off the Casino pier Thursday eve-
ming. The captain felt "A sudden and
vicious tug on his line and immediate.
ly it started straight out to sea. The
captain Ooh saw he had an immense
shovel-nose shark to deal with and
determined to capture it if his exper-
fence and prowess would allow. He
played the monster for all he was
worth and succeeded in gradually
playing him nearer and nearer the
beach. Then ''shinningn down one of
the pier piling, the captain dropped In
to shallow water and succeeded in
Bleaching his game. The shark was
dragged on the pier and stretched
alongside the monster sunfish where
it was viewed by u large number of
people. 1t measured s feet and 3 in
ches In length.

You may not know that the natural elevation of the sand hills
on Seven Mile Beach at Avalon, New Jersey, permits the established
grade to be on the average twice as high as the average grade estab-
ished on all the other beaches in Cape May county You may not
know that the smallest lots at Avalon are 5oXIIo feet or more than
double the size of a lot 3oxoo feet. You may not know that we are
still giving away some of our best and hghest. lots to parties who will
build a house on them costing not less than $1,000. You may not
know that we are offering lots at a lower price than such lots have
ever been offered at the seashore. You will not appreciate our state
ment of facts unless you visit Avalon. Therefore we urge you to
come over while the boats are running on schedule time from Angle
sea wharf. It a delightful trip from Anglesea via Stone Harbor
to Peermont. Avalon. Get off at Peermont Station which is only
a few steps from our office.

A nile and a half of new graveled streets have been made and
three miles of cement concrete curb has been laid. Also 5000 hneal
feet of water pipe within the last four months. Three miles ofcement
sidewalks are now being laid. Many houses have been built here
this spring and others are building.
Remember that Avalon is a municipal Borough that is practically
out of debt, its water works being worth as much as its bonded debt.
Taxes are lower at Avalon than at any other Seaside resort in Cape
May County.
Do you want to build a cottage for next season? If SO why pay
hundreds or thousands for a lot when you can have an elegant lot
near the Ocean front for the building of a house! This is the most
Gberal offer that has ever been made at any New Jersey Seashore
resort. W. only ask that you investigate our proposition. DO so at
once There will always be some one here to show you around.

Parker is well known as an artist of
exceptional ability, with a wonderful
baritone voice. Miss Pickering has a
beautiful, clear, sweet soprano, while

Cod Folks Mrs. Sara Mclean Greene
says, "Her voice is a delight in Itself"
The professor of elocution in Lane
Theological Seminary says of Miss
Wilson:
"Miss Wilson has a voice of pure
timbre, a more flexible one could not
be found. In Effectiveness | have never
seen her surpassed. In face and mo-
ton, in meditation and position she is
easy. graceful, and true to nature. and
that is the goal at which all artists aim.
If you would spend a very enjoyable
evening-hear Miss Wilson.
Miss Jean Wilson, a graduate of the
Boston School of Oratory, gave real de-
light by her Rotations; she is not

The silver trowel was presented
Mr.. Blum by Gov. Vardaman,
who spoke briefly, though feel

occasion to praise the great work
the Industrial Institute and Col

Labor is the founda- tion of all wealth and by reason of that and its numerical strength and the good it has accomplished in every avenue of trade it is entitled to the fullest and fairest consideration.

The Albuquerque Citizen speaking of Arizona's wealth and arrogance re- fers to a recent speech of J. J. Hill in which that gentleman is made to say that the mines of the world are be- coming exhausted, and that there is but 100 years of iron ore in sight in the mines and that when this supply is gone the world will have to depend on some other metal. And passing its faith on J. J. Hill the Citizen opines that Arizona mines will soon be suck ed oranges, and the miners without avocation will desert the territory like rats a sinking ship, leaving the horned toads, rattlesnakes and terantulas to possess the lands alone. Now, let this depletion of our mines not worry you, Mir. Citizen. When our mines are depleted and our lands again become the resort of the famed animals and insects of the desert your children's children and our children's children VIII pC d OCdu. ZAhO dS J. J. Hill is either not an authority on the subject of iron ore or he has been misquoted. An authority gives the life of the iron ore deposits of the Mesabi range, in Minnesota, at 800 years and the ore deposits of the Yer million and Gogebic ranges of Michi- gan at slightly lesser period of time. A German authority gives the life of the known coal deposits of the world at 1000 years. These two minerals are the most important to the human race. With the copper mines of America the industry is in its infancy. The Arizona mines, while only fairly de- veloped have ore enough blocked out to keep the big smelters running for fifty years. Especially is this so at Bisbee and Jerome. At the other camps the ore reserves are immense. In practically all the counties of Ari- zona copper is to be found and new mines will be discovered for thousands of years to come.

SCHOOL OF MUSIC
 OPENS OCTOBER ].
Some Information Concerning the Free
 Scholar-h

The Arizona School of Music, which was founded at Phenix, Arizona, by Mrs. Shirley Christy two years ago, and has grown rapidly and prospered accordingly from the first day of its life, yesterday made announcement of the opening of the third year on the first of October. For the year a limited number of free scholarships will be given in each department of the school in piano, violin, voice. man. dolin and elocution. There have been no intricate restrictions placed around the securing of the free scholarships, it being the desire of Mrs. Christy to assist any worthy person in the Ter ritory in securing an education in any line of instruction taught at her school, provided the persons applying for the scholarships are not financially able to pay for their education and are worthy of the benefits bestowed by the school.
 That such facts as these may be es- tablished the school authorities have placed the following conditions upon the applicants for scholarships: First. application must be made to Mrs. Shirley Christy, 600 North 2nd avenue, Phenix, Arizona, by letter, before September 2S, 1906. Second, the let ter of application must be accompanied by letter of recommendation from a superintendent of a school, pastor of a church or reliable party, who must certify that the applicant is unable to pay for instruction and is worthy of the benefits conferred by the school. Third, there is no charge connected with the making of the application.
 By the offer generously made by Mrs. Christy, the director of the school, way is made possible for any child or grown up person of talent to secure an education in music free of charge. It is known that the plan just made public has been one of the plans of the director of the school since its inception. In the two years past, work along this line has been carried ol, and in numerous instances has as sistance in a material way been given by the school. As the offer is open to all parts of the Territory, no doubt there will be numerous applications.

The St. Johns Herald makes the statement, as an argument in favor of joint statehood, that there are ten mines in Arizona that will sell in the New York market for more than l5O,- GOO, ,000S, while the assessed value of the whole territory is but 63, 900, ,OOOS Now, while this may be true how are we to better the condition by tying ourselves up to New Mexico? The area of prospected coal lands in New Mexico shows l, 1,493, 4S0 acres, having S,Sl3, ,S40, 900 tons of coal in sight, val ued at 10000, 900, ,OOOs. while the whole valuation of New Mexico is but 43,- OOO,OOOS. Yet yapping papers like the Herald would ask the people who fail to assess their own property to come over and help us impose greater tax ation penalties on our mining inter- ests.

Amsden, formerly superin- tendent of the Gold Bug mine, Weav- CT district, arrived in Kingman Thurs day last from Colorado Springs, and departed this morning to the Gold Bug mine and mill, where he will make an examination of the property for the eastern owners. It is quite probable that this property will again be worked, as Mir. Amsden is confident that deeper work in the mines will show up continuation of the rich ore bodies found on the surface.

It is possible that the mine may be worked for its silver and lead.
