Captain David r. Sparks, who died a
few days since at Alton, Illinois, is
credited with having set up the first
quartz mill in Colorado near the Bob
tail mine at Black Hawk. The engine
used in that mill is still in use on the
Bobtail. Mr.. Sparks afterward re-
turned to Illinois and became one Of
the leading flour millers of the state.
At the time of his death he was about
eighty-four years old. He was an uncle
OF Mrs. George Fritz of Black Hawk.

Prosperous Arizona.

Nearly a year has

it was last year" says Gov. Joseph II.

uniform, with its blue-gray frock, the
white doeskin trousers which strapped
under the patent-leather boots, the gold
braid, the silver saber and the little

broad breast. 1t was thus he created
awe; 1t was thus he became truly the

French Race Suicide.

Paris.-A decreased birth rate in
France in 1906. the lowest in fact,
that her history records, is shown by
statistics just published by the Official
Journal of the republic. Recent years
have been marked by a steady decline
in the number of births The average
yearly rate from 1896 to 1905 was
839.843. In 1906. the births fell to
SO6,S47. The deaths during the year
aggregated 7S0,196. Dr. Jacques Ber-
tillon chief statistician of Paris, takes
a pessimistic view of these figures.
He points out that whereas all of
Frances neighbors yearly increase in
population, Frances population is at
a standstill Soon, he thinks. the tide
of her population may be backward.

no difficulty in composing her thoughts
and transferring them to paper. There
were times when she would lean back,
nibble the end Of her pen and smile
in dreamy, retrospective fashion. No
doubt her thoughts were pleasant and
agreeable.
She had completed addressing three
envelopes, when she heard the door
leading into the princess boudor open

princess herself.

WORK OF THE LAND OFFICE.
Twelve Million Acres Have Been Re-
stored to Public Entry.

Washington.-The report of the Sec
retary of the General Land Office, R. A.
Ballinger for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1907, was made public De-
cember 1st. 1t shows that subsequent
to March 4, more than 100000 acres
of public lands, previously held under
blanket orders of suspension, were re-
stored to entry. Nearly 100000
acres were released from withdrawal
in the same period.
1.-The most rigorous effort" says the
commissioner general, 'is being made

tices in the public land states and to
secure evidence to prosecute those

The report condemns as obsolete
and absurd some of the existing land
laws, in particular the act of March
3, 1873, governing the patenting of
coal lands. little having passed, the
government possesses no guaranty
that as a public utility the coal can
be made available to supply the mar

almost uniformly passed into the
