Of surprising beauty.
The cry of the church Is for more

must be had for their support and

ing carried on.
In the rush for gain, all thought
of religion Is being lost, the bishop
declared, and while men are becom- 4
ing rich in the worlds goods. they
are being lost to the church. This
is not only true Of the illiterate min
ers ana foreigners. but also Of the

Of the East who have gone West to

there are thousands Of Indians who
are living in heathenism on account

Number 46
ON VERGE OF
 MINING BOOM

That Williams is on the verge of a mining boom, and big one at that, is evidenced by the fact of the following returns received from the Humboldt smelter the early part of this week by the Anita Mines and several local shippers.
 On six cars of ore shipped to the above works during last month the total returns were S6,l7O, or an average of over twelve hundred dollars per car. Of these ship ments, the Anita Mines, James S. Hogue and w. H. Lockridge are several hundred dollars to the good. Every one connected with the new movement near Anita is greatly elated, and big things are prom ised the coming summer in the way of development and returns.
 On Tuesday of this week F. H. Oxman, manager of the Humboldt smelter. and his chief metallurgist, MT. Dinear, were both in the city. and visited the mines in the dis trict. They were greatly pleased with the outlook, and state that it is their honest belief that Williams and the Francis mining district are to become we'll known in mining circles at once. Extensive deposits of low grade ore were viewed while here, and both visitors expressed themselves as confident, that no other available body lay so close to the smelter as this. When it is taken into considera ton that the ore from this district and belong. ing to this class is a vital necessit V in the reduction of ores from other parts of the territory and that tfe'- smelter will even offer a premium on the shipment if enough cannot be had otherwise, 1t can be seen to what an extent the work of ship ping this low grade product may eventually result.
 The Anita company are hiring men every day and are endeavor- ing to get into shape at once to ship at least four cars every twenty four hours. Other owners in the dis trict are also loading and shipping and before long the total shipments per day may reach eight or ten cars. And as every car shipped, no matter how poor in, comparison with those shipped last month. will net to the shipper, under present conditions, at least ten to fifteen dollars ger ton. it is seen that Will- jams is to benefit wonderfully.
 Mir. Woodworth, of the Anita company,is, now confident of suc- cess with the mines which have long lain idle and which have been thought by every one to be worth less on account of the low grade of the ore. There are fifty men in Williams who own or have filed on good ore fields in the Francis min ing district, and very few of the prospects there are which will not pay from the start. The ore, as everyone in this country knows. lays in body or surface blanket. many times appearing on the sur face. The manner and expense of taking out and shipping .is taivial. The simplicity of the mode required and the proximity to the railroad offers opportunity for quick and easy money. and many there are who intend to work their prospects at once
 Altogether the outlook is 60 promising as to be unbelievable. and the few skeptics are disclaim- ing the truth of it from ethis very fact. " :. &

$7O.OO0 in relief. There are fifty patriarch militant departments made up of 533 cantons, having over 1S,00O members.
 This makes a grand total of 19a state, territorial and provincial grand bodies, 22,76O subordinate bodies, and over two million mem- bers. The amount of cash invest ments owned by these bodies is the enormous amount of over $33,O0O,- 900. The revenue received annually is over $23, 100000 and more than $4O00,00O goes to the relief of dis tressed members.
 In our proud Arizona there are twenty four subordinate lodges. with a membership of .564. There are six encampments with a mem- bership of over 215, and nineteen Rebekah lodges, with a member ship of LOO. All these branches are accumulating a fund to build an Odd Fellows home in Arizona. where the aged and destitute and their destitute children will be cared for. There was paid into the grand lodge at its last meeting in Prescott, last week, over $1 ,OOO for the home fund.
 Ladies of the Rebekahs, you owe your birth right, as an order. to Representative Williams, of Ala bama, who championed a woman's right in Odd Fellowship with ferver and gallantry more than any other man, and he was the cause of the organization of the first Rebekah lodge in the city of Baltimore on the 18th of Septem- Der, fS45.
 ''Now, brothers of Williams, 1 want to thank you again for the honor you conferred upon me and for the warm and cordial welcome extended me. l will close my re- marks with the beautiful liQes of the poet:
 "A perfect woman nobly planned
 To warm, to comfort and com
 mand,
 And yet spirit. still and bright.
 With something of an angel light.
 Past Grand Shafer then intro duced Past Grand H. D. Johnson, and those present were treated to another very interesting address upon the Godly work that has been and is being accomplished by their most noble order-the Odd Fellows Mir. Johnson truly handled his subject with an appropriateness of language that was most pleasing, and at the close of his eloquent speech, which was as follows, was loudly applauded:
 Sister Rebekahs, brother Odd
 Fellows and Patriarchs:
 It affords me much pleasure to stand before you. not only because I am an Odd Fellow, but because have an opportunity to address you from the subjects that are near and dear to my heart. Our worthy patriarch from the Skylight city has covered the ground thoroughly and to the point in the history of Odd Fellowship in this country He also gave us synopsis of the order previous to its introduction 10 this country.
 Possibly my remarks are not interesting, and will now say as our worthy Patriarch Jones has  said: there is no spot on the globe where Odd Fellows do not exist, and 1 wish further to say there is no secret order that stands higher in department and in point of excellency than our order. Also, no other order, and in fact, all the secret orders combined, throughout the world, do not expeLd the amount of money to educate the orphans and relieve the widows and distressed brothers that the Odd Fellows expend. :
 Our order is founded on the greatest and grandest principle of
Williams news., 1907-05-04

!
 "The growth of our order is now assured The grateful tears Of widow and orphan have watered the tender plant and it has been warmed by the sunny smiles of heaven.
 Perhaps it might be we'll to note something of the history of our order and then trace it's wonderful progress since it's ex- istence As we have before stated, that as an American institution, our order is of comparatively short existence. The first lodge of Odd Fellows that was organized in the United States, was at Baltimore, Maryland, on the 26th day of April, 1919, with Thomas Wildey as its founder and known as Wash ington Lodge No. 1, with a mem bership of five. Thomas Wildev. the father and founder of Odd Fellowship in America, was q native of England, and met with much reproach, being a stranger in a strange land, but he soon made the acquaintance of John Welch, who was also an Englishman and an Odd Fellow, and the two began discussing the possibilities of or ganizing lodge.
 "They needed three more mem bers before they could organize, and they inserted an advertisement in the Baltimore A merican, a news paper published in the city of Baltimore, asking for others to join them.
 "Two men, by the names of John Duncan and John Cheatham, saw the advertisement and made them selves known to Wildey and Weleh, but they still needed one more man, and after inserting another notice in the paper, Rich ard Rushworth came forward, and these five men met in what is known as the Seven Star tavern in the city of Baltimore, and organized the first lodge of Odd Fellows in America.
 And from these five members in 1919 to 1907 it has increased to one million and six hundred thousa nd members. This first lodge received it's charter from Manchester unity on October 23rd, 1919, which was the first charter that ever graced the room of an Odd Fellows lodge in America.
 "Our first grand lodge was organized and adopted a constitu- ton on November 22, 1921, and from that time on grand lodges have been organized in every state and territory in the United States. In 1869. four years after the Civil war. the membership was only i 26S,6O9 and in 1904. at the meeting of the grand lodge, in San Fran cisco. Cal, the membership was ! 1, ,436,102, besides 294,6OS sisters of the Rebekahs degree, making a total of ,436, ,102.
 "The revenue had increased from 2,347 ,O73 in 1869 to SIP, ,SS7 ,774up to the first of 1904, with over one and three quarter of a million men and women expending annually $4,00O,OOO for relief, with an in creasing membership of S5,OOO annually.
 This gives some idea of our order. From the time of the Forga nization of Washington Lodge No. 1, there have been fifty five grand lodges organized in the United States and Canada, eleven grand lodges in foreign countries, which are made up of 1929 subordinate lodges which expend annually $4,0OO,OOO for relieving the sick. There are now fifty-two grand encampments in the United States and Canada, and three in foreign countries. having 154.95O members which expend $215,000 annually for the relief of the dis
