this time in the senate in the form of
a resolution introduced by Senator
Marshall Black calling upon the federal
government not to make any treaty
with Japan which Goes not provide eff

read and referred to the committee on
federal relations.
After setting forth many reasons
against Japanese immigration, the dan
ger of the influx of Japanese, the evil
effects of Asiatic preponderance, the
resolution reads:
Therefore, it is by the senate of the
state of California, the assembly con-
curing, resolved, That in view of the
foregoing statements the legislature OF
the state of California most earnestly
requests the president and senators
of the United States, constituting the
treaty making power of the United
States, not to lake or ratify any
treaty with Japan which does not pro-

A HOG ORCHESTRA.
French Musician Made the Squealers
Sing a Tune.

French Musician Made the Squealers
Sing Tune.
During the reign of Louis XI. Of
France there was attached to his court
one Abbot de Baigne. man of con-
siderable wit. The abbot was some
what musically inclined and delighted
the court with inventions of odd mu-
steal instruments. One day the king,
after having enjoyed a hearty laugh
over one Of these curious contrivances
and desiring to battle this musical
genius, commanded him to produce
harmonious sounds from the cries OF
hogs. This seemed an impossibility
to the king and he prepared himself
to enjoy the discontinue of the abbot.
Much to his surprise, however, the aD-
bot readily agreed to produce them.
All he required was a sum Of money,
upon receipt of which he declared he
would invent the most surprising thing
ever heard in the way Of musical atroc-
ity.
He secured the country and secured
a large number of hogs, trying their
voices as to pitch and quality, and
finally, having fully satisfied himself,
he arranged the animals in a sort OF
pavilion richly decorated. The day Of
the trial arrived, and the king and his
court entered the pavilion prepared for
something, but greatly in doubt as to
the success of the abbot with the hogs.
However, there were the hogs, sure
enough, and, much to the surprise and
delight Of the king, they commenced
to cry harmoniously and in good tune
rendering an air that was fairly rec
ognized. The abbot had arranged a
series Of stops that were connected
with the hogs and upon pulling one OF
them out caused a spike to prick the
hog it connected with, making hin
soueal his note. The rest was easy
for by pulling out the different stop
he produced the tune.

OLD BIRDS NESTS.

Many Feathered Creatures Use the

"That common expression for worth

The majority of our birds do leave
their nests after raising brood, but
many do not, and their nests are used
through a succession Of years. l have
known some birds to use their nests
ten years in succession, and so per-
sistent are they that many times the
female will return even after the nest
has been robbed and the mate killed.
Among these users of perennial nests
are the wrens, some of the swallow
family. bluebirds, great crested hy-
catchers. some of the owls, eagles.
chickadees and some woodpeckers.
'They repair to the nest each year
and often build it over. A little wren
has made its nest in a hole in tree IN

last eight years. Each year it has piled

"Birds that build in exposed situa-

ATaoSaHERlc ELECTRICITY.
Experiment Suggested by Franklin and
Performed ~ D'Alibard.

performed ~ u Ahparos
To Benjamin Fr;llklin belongs the
merit of having perceived that direct
experiment was needed to prove what
so far was only guess. In an article
entitled Opinions and COnjectures
Concerning the Properties and Effects
of the Electrical Matter Arising From
Experiments and Observations Made
at Philadelphia, 1149," the following
passage occurs:
ITO determine the question whether
the clouds that contain lightning are
electrified or not l would propose an
experiment to be tried where it can be
done conveniently. On the top of some
high tower or steeple place a kind OF
sentry box big enough to contain a
man and an electrical stand. From the
middle of the stand let an iron rod rise
and pass, bending out of the door and
then upright twenty feet or thirty
| feet, pointed very sharp at the end. Ii
the electrical stand be kept clean and
| dry a man standing on it when such
clouds are passing low might be cleo
trified and afford sparks, the rod
| drawing fire to him from a cloud.
"If any danger to the man should
be apprehended, though l think there
would be none, let him stand on the
floor of his box and now and then
bring near to the rod the loop of a
wire that has one end fastened to the
leads, he holding it by wax handle,
| so the sparks if the rod be electrified
will strike from the rod to the wire
and not affect him."
The experiment suggested by Frank
lin was successfully performed in Mar
ly. France, by D'Alibard on May 10
1852; in London by Canton in Spita
square on July 20, 1852, and by Wilson
in Chelmsford, Essex, on Aug. II o
the same year. Franklin himself de
scribed having used a kite in Phila
delphia in a letter dated Oct. 10 with
out giving the date of his observations
ROsenberger C''Geschichte der Physik,
volume ,, page 316) mentioned that
was done in June.
Franklin's disbelief in the dangerou
character of the experiment must hav
received a severe shock when he hear
of the death of G. w. Richman, wh'
in the year 1853. was killed by an ele'
tric discharge drawn from the cloud
by means of a kite.

PRAYERS BEFORE BATTLE.

terieal Personages.
One of the earliest records in his
tory of a prayer before battle is that
Of Childeric. king of Gaul, a pagan.
who before going into battle at Zuel-
pich, some 400 years after Christ,
prayed to the God of the Christians to
help him to victory. His foe was At
tia, king of the Huns. and Childeric
vowed if God would give him the vic
tory he would embrace the Christian
faith.
The prayer of a Hungarian officer
before one of the battles fought for the
independence of Hungary in 1S49 was
as follows: Il will not ask thee, Lord.
to help us, and | know thou wilt not
help the Austrians, but If thou wilt sit
on yOnder hill thou shalt not be asham-
ed of thy children" This was the
prayer Of the Fighting Bishop Les

Ireland: 20 God, for our unworthiness

if we are bad our enemies are worse,
and If thou seest not meet to help us

The one offered before the battle of

command followed, ''March on, boysp'

Oliver Cromwell had public prayer

 Arizona Copper Company.
 The history, growth and develop ment of Clifton practically began with the advent of the Arizona Copper Company, which enjoys the distinc- tion of being exclusively Scotch concern, with headquarters at Edin- burg, Scotland. It was organized in August, 1884, and since that time has expended vast sums of money in the erection of reduction plants, concen- traitors, railroads and other improve ments necessary to develop and make productive their many valuable mines and holdings in the district. fhelr lands comprise upwards of 4OO acres, and they cover several of the pest producing copper mines in the dis trict, that has netted handsome re- turns to the company in the way or dividends. The company has in the past had to overcome many obstacles and difficulties marking the develop ment of it's properties, but these have been surmounted and conquered by the display of determination, pluck and rare business judgment displayed by the management of. the head of which as president is James Colqu- houn, one of the most widely known and successful mining men of the Southwest, who is ably assisted by Norman Carmichael, assistant general manager, and A.

Every department is thoroughly or ganiZed, and on account of the liberal and wise policy which characterizes the management, the most cordial re- lations exist between the company and their employees. Good wages are paid and the camp is one of the most prosperous in the territory, and is sin gularly free from labor or other dis turbances. The company is watchful of their employees interests, and among other provisions for their pleasure and entertainment, have provided a library and reading room that is greatly appreciated, where the latest literature can be read among pleasant surroundings.
 Mining Industry.
 Discovered in the early 70s, the Clifton Copper district was the first to enter the Arizona field as a copper producer. The district is one of the largest, covering 42 square miles of mineralized territory and extends from the San Francisco river on the east to the Eagle river on the west. Wedged in between these streams, which never run dry, its water supply is abundant at periods of the year, and Tn that respect IL IS more IdVOT- ably situated than any other camp in Arizona Its mines stand at from 5000 to 5000 feet above sea level. The elevation of Clifton is 3450 feet. The richest portion of this mineral belt lies under and around the town of Mo renci a few miles away. The early workings were confined to the lime stone belt, which furnished an abun- dant supply of oxide carbonates and silicates of copper. These being self-fluxing, were converted into black copper by one simple smelting opera tion. As early as 1892, the limestone belt had became fairly well exhausted and prospecting tunnels were driven into the adjacent eruption rocks, then regarded as barren, resulting in the discovery of the more permanent sul- phides. which now furnish the bulk of the copper produced. About this time concentrating and teaching pro- ! cesses adapted to the various ores of the district, were successfully. intro duced, while the smelting plants were

Clifton, Ariz--The early history of Clifton Is tinged with romance and interest. The early prospectors through this region finding their way up into the canyons of the mountains in their search for gold and silver gave no thought for a moment of cop per, the basis of the towns pros perity today and where was destined to be smelted the first copper ever
 produced in Arizona. This was in a crude adobe shack furnace, the heat being obtained from charcoal burned from mesquite wood and an ordinary blacksmith's bellows furnishing the
 blast and the ore coming from the Longfellow mine. The first discoveries in the Clifton-McTenci district, the
 richest portion of the great mineral belt, was in 1870 and was gold which ran 5 cents to the pan. The news of the find was carried to Silver City, N. M., and a party of forty set out for what they thought were to be rich gold fields. Arriving in the dry sea son. they found water scarce, only sufficient for camp purposes, and the rocking of gold had to be abandoned. They discovered that q water hole was extremely copper" stained and tasty The party finally became dis couraged with obstacles met with and returned to Silver City. at that time a lively camp, and headquarters for all the mining men and prospectOrs who were being attracted to the mines of Arizona and New Mexico. In 1870 the first copper claims were located, the first mine being the Ari- zona Central, which is now one or the properties owned by the Detroit Cop per company It was located by Messrs. Ballard, Yankie and Swis- helm. They returned to Silver City and returned here the following year and located three more claims.

It is the terminus of the Arizona & New Mexico railroad and the Lordsburg & Hachita railway, which lines runs from Clifton to Hachita, a distance of 109 miles, making connection at Ha- chita with the Fl Paso & Southwest ern. It occupies a picturesque site between high towering mountains at an elevation of 3450 feet above sea level. There are but three streets passing through the town, one on either side of the San Francisco river and Chase Creek street. The old original business location is on the east side of the river, a narrow street facing the river. Here are a num- Der of stores, the banks and hotels. On the opposite side of the river is the railroad depot and yards and lead ing out from them is Chase Creek. the main business artery. North Clifton is located further up the river. South Clifton, a handsome residence section rapidly building, is just across the river, which is spanned by a modern bridge.
 Population.
 The population of Clifton is about 5500 and each passing year shows substantial increase in population. Its citizens are industrious and law abid- ing and hospitable to marked de gree. Among it's business and pro fessional men and iu social circles one recognizes many evidences of culture and refinement. The spirit of the people is witnessed in flood times when the San Francisco river and Chase Greek is OH a rampage. They have faced many disastrous floods de- structive to property. but they have never surrendered and with commend able grit and pluck are ever found ready to renew the fight against high water Profting by past experience the city is doing everything possible to lessen the destruction in future.

 by the Arizona Copper company, the Detroit Mining company and the Shannon Copper company. The Standard Copper company, the New England and Clifton company and the Gold Belt Development and Reduc- tion company are also the owners of valuable claims The Detroit Cop per Mining company operate a smell ter at Morenci. The Arizona Copper company operate a large smelter and reduction works at Clifton, as does the Shannon Copper company at the same place. The most important producing companies are those above named. Transportation facilities have been greatly extended and inn proved in receDC years. The ore bodies are mostly of great width, very continuous and easily broken. AL most every system of mining is em- ployed. the aim being to employ that particular system best adapted to the natural conditions. The Arizona Copper company, whose headduarters are at Clifton. employ 2500 men in their smelter and mines, with an aver age monthly payroll of $20O,000. The Shannon Copper company, whose shelter is also at Clifton, employ 800 men with a monthly payroll of $57,-
