ANCIENT ATHENS.
Banquetins In the Grecian City In the
Time of Plato.

In Professor +. G. fuckers Life In
Ancient Athens" the author gives this
as n picture of typical banquet in
that CITY in the time of Plato: when
all are in place the servants come
round with a vessel, from which they
nour water over the hands OF the
guests. There are brought in small
tables. light and ornamental, one OF
which Is set down before each couch
for two persons, and on these are
placed the several dishes as they come
In order. The tables are lower than
the touches. so that the right mana
can reach down easily to them. knives
and forks there are none. The food Is
taken up with the fingers. 1t is true
that in dealing with very soft FOODS
or gravies or In extracting Things
from shells spoons were not unknown,
but usually the fingers were assisted
by pieces of bread followed out FOR
the purpose. 1t is clear that there was
nlentv of room for neatness ana dalht'-
ness in handling food, and 1t was no
small advantage to have fingers not
too sensitive.
"There were no napkins. Portions
of soft bread, often especially prepared
for the purpose, were used for wipihg
the fingers and were afterward thrown

BIG GOLD STRIKE
 PROVEN A FAKE
Men Who Reported Strike of Rich Ore in Mohave County and Caused Wild Scramble for Claims Knew that There Was Nothing Doing There.

The Mohave county gold strike, an nouneed in the dispatches few days ago, has turned out to be a fake, ac- eording to the following from the Mo have County Miner
 Monday last Kingman was thrown into a state of excitement by the re- port that Fred Brown, George Smith ful strike of gold ore in mine on what is known as the "Mother Lode' at Gold Road. Assays from ore pur- porting to come from the bottom of a thirty-fve foot shaft gave a result of S563 gold to the ton. The pulp from the sample did not show free gold, but when treated to acid, gave big horn ing of the yellow metal, and it was to this fact that no knowledge of its value was known to the owners, as they reported that they never had an assay on the rock depending on horning. We understand that the assayer at Gold Road has stated that he had made many assays from the rock and that it carried but a small amount of gold, which would indicate that the man who gave out the report was aware of the fake. Fake reports of this character do a camp no good and the circulation of such reports should be deprecated by all who have the good of the country at heart. And while it may be true that the sample was salted by someone as a "josh, it is also true that the fact that samples taken from the shaft at various stages in sinking did not give results should have made the own CTS somewhat skeptical of the big re- suits obtained from the sample submit ted for assay to the local assayer. And it is again true that very few miners pulp their ore before sending it to the assayer, preferring that he buck down his own samples in his own way.
 We hope that the serious manner Tn which the people have taken this fake business will have a deterrent effect on future fakes and that should it oc- cur again proper steps be taken to pun ish the men who give vent to them

Rough Riders July 3. In the afternoon there will be monster parade, and the unveiling ceremonies, addresses, etc, and possibly mall and reception that night.
 On July there will be the usual patriotic program and a meeting of the Territorial Bremen s association. Hose races, relay races, and other firemen s sports for substantial purses will be a feature of the day, and a baseball game and other amusements will go to make up the second days program.
 On July ,, the last day of the ceie- bration, there will be a big, free bar beeue, baseball games, cowboy sports, and probably cavalry drills. There will be Indian sports and races, Indian dances and games and in the evening great bonfres will be built, and a beau tiful pyrotechnic display of fireworks will iilumine the skies around Prescott.
 It is rumored that Chief Wallapai Johnnie (Robinson) and Apache Tom (CompbelD will gather together a great band of Indian braves to furnish that part of the entertainment.
 The committee expects to get the sup port of all territorial railroads, and ex- eeptionally low rates will prevail from all Arizona and New Mexico points for the celebration, which will be the big gest thing to take place in the territory, outside of the annual fair.
 The various committees are already hard at work to make the celebration in connection with the unveiling of the monument to "Bueky" O'Neill some thing to be long remembered with plea sure by all attending, and it is expected that Rough Riders from all over Ari- zona and New Mexico will be in at tendance. f
 Further details of the celebration will be given in these columns from time to time, as the committees further complete their plans.
