former Governor Steunenberg, and the
one step forward was the qualification

The question of the defense took a

with the possible effect upon the minds
of the Jurors of the letter of President

the only clew the people of this vii

of Mrs. Elmira Simonson, seventy-three
years old, who lived alone and whose

fact that the bag never contained less
than $50 and frequently as much as
500.

The Big O'Brien mill is running day and night from the product of the Big OBrien. The camp has grown in the last year to be among the impor- that ones of northern Arizona. and the mine is now one of the important Ari- zona gold products.
 Another lively place Is the camp of the Hale Mining and Milling com pany. The Hale is proving a wonder. IL is now opened to a depth Of 500 feet.
 Jennings brothers are taking out high grade ore from their mine. This is another good producer that was idle for many years until taken over by the Jennings brothers, several months ago.
 George Margaritch has a force of men on the property of the Unida Gold company. This is another good mine. of which very little is heard. It is opening better than expected and the management of the company has under consideration a number of im- provements.
 Tt is reported that work will be resumed in the mines of the Black Rock mining company. and several other prospects of lesser not"

 More men are now employed in the Octave mine than ever before in its history, and the property is proving a wonder since work was resumed by the Octave Mining company.
 Congress appears also to hayc taken on a new lease of life. Reports of new ore discoveries there are proven more or less by the great activity ap- parent in the place.

BERtAVfD FATHERS
 USELESS MISSION
Learned Of His Sons Illness Only in the Hour of Dissolution.

An elderly gentleman named Selsor arrived in town yesterday morning from the Soldiers Home in California of which institution he is an inmate His hope was to see his son Abraham Selsor. who died Monday night. of con- sumption. The article that appeared in these columns concerning the boy though accurate. seemed harsh to the old gentleman where it referred To the boy having been found penniless on the streets eight years ago by James Hali, with whom he lived until the end. That circumstance would naturally af- feet d fathers sympathies. as reflect ing upon his paternal obligations. but he explained that he was in no way at fault for he had done the best he could.
 The mother of the boy having died and the older children being provided with q home. MT Selsor and son left Philadelphia. which had been the fam fly home for four generations, and came to the Pacific coast about fifteen years ago. 4 short time afterward they came to Prescott where MT. Sel- sor found rough employment in the Windsor hotel. His surroundings were not desirable for the raising of a child and he really had no home save the office or barroom oT the hotel X man named O'Neill, living on Date creek, wanted to take the boy 10 raise. Sev- "ral Prescott gentlemen vouched for his fitness as a guardian and the boy WAS taken to Date creek. Not long af- t.rWard MT. SelSoT went to California again and within a year the boy ran away from MT. D'Neill That was the last his father ever heard of him di- Tectly and the elder Selsor. after the viccisitudes of life found himself in the Soldiers Homc. with but small re- sources that could have helped the boy c'-en if he had been in communication. Last spring he learned that the young man had finally opened up a desultory correspondence with his sister in Phil adelphia. who on Monday last wired him st the Soldiers Home and asked him to go to Phoenix and see Abe. He got the necessary papers and left on the next train. arriving here yesterday morning to find out for the first time just where the boy had been living and also that his earthly career was ended. He had never known even that the young man was sick, or at least had never heard that he was suffering of lung trouble.
 MT. Selsor says that the family is quite proud of its military record. He is a veteran Of the civil war, his fath CT fought in the Mexican war, his grandfather in the wars of 1872 and 177e. other relatives also participating sHn .. is a grandson of cousin of Betsy Ross. who placed the first star on the American flag. the dead boy Abe. be- ing of the fourth generation from that historic woman.

No Cessation of Activity in the Block Rock, Congress, Octave and Fools Gulch Sections.

"The miners of the Black Rock dis trict know nothing of the financial crisis in the east, except what they read in the newspapers" said P. s. Wren. the Constellation merchant to a reporter for the Journal Miper.
 Nobody complains of hard times in that region he said. Tn fact. times are better there than for many years. There is more activity in the mining industry than usual. and. consequently. more demand for miners.

ed is that which holds its meetings every Sunday night in famous Cooper Union where so many historic audi ences have gathered. The congregation is regularly over three thousand. that is it is limited only by the capacity of the hall. and there is no lack of inter est in the proceedings. There is no pulpit and no preaching in the ordi- nary sense although the leading cler- gyman of almost all denominations oc- cupy the platform at various times. An other odd feature is that those who Oc- cupy the pews ,or rather the chairs, are allowed to ask questions and are encouraged to express their own views. The meetings are part of the work of the peoples institute and Director Charles Sprague Smith. who founded this unique Sunday institution. calls it "a creedless church but it is broad enough so that only the pronounced atheist would be likely to quarrel with it, for it merely recognizes that un- seen power which works for good. " MT. Smith explains that he founded his church to appeal to those who would not go to ordinary churches and he seems 10 have accomplished his pur- pose. Some of the pastors of the more wealthy and fashionable uptown churches have sighed as they looked upon the enthusiastic crowds that fill the walls of Cooper Union 10 the burst ing point and have wished that they could find d way of filling their own pews as well. but so far none of them has had the courage to adopt Mir. Smiths methods.

ished without lessening the amount of
 work accomplished. Other wasteful
 items to which he calls attention. are
 the interest charges amounting to mil
 lions. due to the city's habit of spend
 ing its income before it is collected. . With the city's debt limit almost
 reached and with real estate taxes
 amounting to figures which are caus-
 ing property owners to unite in pro- test these charges are attracting some
 attention from the usually indifferent
 New Yorker. Other statisucians have come to the front with the assertion
 that extravaganza is not confined to the municipality but is a habit of the
 citizens as well. They produce figures to show that New Workers are the most wasteful people on earth and that
 among the items that they virtually
 throw away are 45,00O,0OO gallons of
 water a day and the water problem is
 one of the most difficult and expensive
 with which the city has to deal-and
 S25. .OO0, 900 of food products wasted in
 the course of year. Just at present.
 however. the people as well as the mu-
 nicipality are having some lessons in
 enforced economy that may help to improve their wasteful habits if they are really as bad as alleged.
 New York has just passed through a war which for acrimonious discussion has equalled the debate over President Roosevelt's action ip leaving the Tn God We Trust motto off Uncle Sam's new coins. The metropolitan imbrOg
 lio related to the subject of Christmas and its observance in the public schools of the city. Heretofore it has been the custom to celebrate the approach of the great Christian holiday among the school children by singing of carols. recitations and tableauX. all relating to the sacred event which the day com memorates. It happens however tbat New York has among it's heterogeneous population nearly a million Jews, which makes this the largest Jewish city in the world, and that in certain schools on the East Side the great ma jority of the children come from Jew ish families. Some parents of the orthodox Hebraic faith objected to this comnlemOration of an event which they decline to recognize. The board of ed ucation. mindful perhaps or the voting strength of the city's Jewish popula- ton. issued instructions which called for, or were interpreted as calling for the abolition of the Christmas carols from the schools. Thereupon excited inquiries arose from the cnurches and filled the columns of the newspapers as to whether or not this had ceased to be a Christian city and whether the children were to be robbed of their Christmas. The board of education de- cided that discretion was the better part of valor and issued an explanation to the effect that the Christmas obser- Vances had not been abolished. It is however that school princi- pals will arrange their celebrations to accord with the religious views of the predominating element among their particular scholars and so all classes may be satisfied. The incident has served to call attention again to the i nature of New York's l Population which apparently includes ! followers of every religious practice as | well as every fanaticism on the face of | -h globe.

An anti-race suicide club is the thing that New York needs most. according to Mrs. Clarence Burns who is the head of the Little Mothers Aid Society. She proposes as a practical means oi en- courag ging larger families an organiza- tion that would undertake tofind suit able husbands for unmarIned women- apparently she holds that there is no trouble now on the part of the bach elors in finding suitable wives-that would offer prizes for the best exam ples of anti-race suicide and that would establish a fund, or else secure an ap- propriation from the public treasury. for the aid of mothers too pooT to pro- perly care for their children. Mrs. Burns also suggests committees to in qnire into the morals of those about to be married. a measure that seems more likely to discourage than to encourage matrimony. What seems to he fatal defect of the plan is that she offers no suggestion as to a means by which the ordinary New York flat can be stretch ed to size to accommodate even a moderate number of children,
