In these modern times the sphere
Of activity Of the princes of the reign
ing houses of the old world is Of an
exceedingly restricted character For
the most part they are debarred from
emulating the prowesses Of their an
cestors on the field Of battle, while in
these days Of constitutional monarchy
they are precIuded not only from play
ing any political role, but even from
manifesting any political sympathies.
Their efforts to make name for
themselves in the realms Of science,
Of art and of literature are always
handicapped by the difficulty of se-
curing honest Judgment, according TO
ordinary standards, and by the conse-
quent suspicion Of favoritism. In one
word. If prince of the blood wishes
to win for himself a niche in the tenn
pie Of fame he must perform some feat
that has never been accomplished be.

his rank, He must do something that

achieved this AS long as America en-

Like most men really entitled to

role Of a hero. In the clever book
which he has written on his polar ex-
periences, and also in the descriptions
which he has given Of his ascents of
Mount st. Elias and Mount Ruwen-
zori, the keynote has been the anxiety
to give all possible credit to his fol
lowers, and to efface himself.
It is this modesty, thoroughly in

MINING NEWS.

Mohave Miner: Ore shipments are being regularly made from the Banner mines, of the Arizona Mex. ican Mining and Smelling com pany, at Stockton Hill. The mill has been turning out high grade of lead concentrates, while the mine still shows up big bodies of rich lead ores. As soon as the lead market shows some reaction the mine will begin outputting large tonnage of heavy lead ores.
 Mohave Miner: w. R. Davis, general agent of the Benedictine mining company, came in from Los Angeles Wednesday last and was met here by Superintenden t Cheatham. It is understood that the visit of the gentlemen to King man was for the purpose of arrang- ing a settlement of the affairs of the company and get things in shape for the resumption of work on the mines at Cedar. The gem tlemen departed to Los Angeles last night.
 Mohave Miner: George B. Ayers came in yesterday with another bar of bullion from the Gold Road mill, which was shipped to the mint. The company is now ship ping all of it's gold to the mint and will have the hard cash come here next month to pay off the employees and all outstanding checks of the company. Last pay day the men were paid in cheeks, as ususl, but the banks refused to cash the checks and sooner than take clear ing house script the men retained their checks. The company will pay the checks so held in cash next pay day.
 Mohaye Miner: George Judin, superintendent of the Franconia Mining company, is working a force of men on his mines in the Buck Mountain section. He has sunk a shaft on one of the properties to a depth of one hundred feet A whim has been put on the mine and now sinking is under way to the 200 level.

More important than the mere con- viction of Mayor Schmitz for grating was the attitude of the people of San Francisco when the veridct was made public. The news dispatches say that as the word guilty" fell from the lips of the foreman of the jury those in the court room jumped to their feet and cries of "Good!" were heard on all sides, while stranger grasped the hand of stranger in the exultation of the moment. The fact that a law breaker had been found guilty was submerged beneath the more signifi- cant circumstance that the people who had made him mayor heartily ap- proved of the finding.

Gradually order emerged out of chaos, and the conviction of Mayor Schmitz is @ splendid vindication of the rehabilitating sentiment. Schmitz is entitled to no sympathy, as his guilt is clear.

LOVE AND THE POCkETBOOK:
 AN INDIANA IDEA

Poets no longer sing of love in a cottage, for this is the age of flats. But midsummer discussions of the question of how to be happy on $15 a week, in wedlock, of how to in- duce young men and young women to marry without too much selfish thought of ease and luxury, are still popular, and a few girls are willing to admit that romance and sentiment have ceased to be the controlling influences in determin- ing their entrance into matrimony.
 The Chicago Record declares that for this reason the report of the anti-romantic ravages of the lndi- ana Young Ladies' Protective So- ciety," which is said to have been rapidly extending it's branches should be received with mental re- serve. The young ladies may DC playful and roguish, and some dense representation of the male per suasion may have misunderstood them.
 The impression is that the socie- ty has started out to make war on poverty, and especially young men it. The members are said to have pledged themselves to frown On all romantic advances of men without bank accounts and
