Stealing Thunder.

The Los Angeles Herald is being imposed on by it's Prescott correspor- dent in the matter of mining news. This correspondent has located the Tom Reed Mines and mill in Yavapai county, quite close to Prescott, and the big bars of bullion that have been shipped from that property have been glinted by h. lbeams of old Yav- apai. Very nice, but the fact is the Tom Reed mine IS in Mohave county, twenty-six miles southwest of King man, and it's big gold output has aroused the cupidity of the Herald correspondent to such an extent that he concluded to annex it. The ignor- ance of the mining editors of Los An geles appears to us stupendous, and in justice to their readers the newspapers should employ men that know some thing of mining and of the geograph- ical location of at least the large bull ion producers of Arizona.

Mohave Valley to be Irrigated.

| Word comes to this place that w..
 B. Williams, of Rome, N. Y., a spec
 ial agent of the Interior Department, is now at Fort Mohave attending to the allotment of lands in severalty to the Mohave Indians. These are the lands withdrawn from settlement by the department few years ago under the reclamation act, project for their irrigation being then under con- slider ation from Bulls Head, twenty miles up the river. Although the pro- ject fell through the lands have never been returned to the public domain, and now it is proposed to set them aside for the use of the Indians, each one to receive fifteen acres of land
 As there are about 700 Indians scat. tered along the Colorado river, the allotment will amount to more than ten thousand acres. To irrigate these lands dam will have 10 be construct ed across the Colorado river at son point in the Bulls Head canyon, whel @ great canal can be taken out over the mesa lands and on through the valley to the vicinity of Mellen, where the valley brerks against the volcanic hills. Throughout this valley is to be had some of the richest lands in the world, although a large part of it is subject to overflow. The uplands were designed for irrigation by the engin- eers of the geological survey, and it is probably these lands that will go to the Indians. The survey showed that there was more than 60,00O acres of land in the valley that could be han ded profitably if water could te brought in. Of course, large part of these lands are owned by the rail- road company and these lands can e obtained by individuals in the ever of large irrigation scheme bringir g water onto them.

Surveyor Peter McCardell and his corps of assistance have returned from the YavapaiMohave county line sur vey, where they completed the work of running the Freel line from Nelson to the Yuma county line, on the south. The distance between Nelson and Yl- ma county was ascertained to be eigh- ty-two miles. Every mile of the dis tance was monumented and carefully marked and at the south corner mon- ument seven feet high and six feet at base was erected. It was found that Fort Rock ranch house was about One- fourth mile in Yavapai county, but that all the mines of Burro Creek, in- c uding the property of s. c. Mott, were in Mohave county. Many places near the south boundary of the county supposedly in Yavapai county were found to be in this county. About one-half of the Francis Creek country, which was always believed to be one of the possessions of our sister county, belongs to this county, as we'll as the large herds of cattle that range there. The party agree that the large strip of country is not the best in either of the counties with the exception of the country between Nelson and Fort Rock, where large area of grazing lan6s are to be found, but with little water to be had. The settlement of the boundary is good thing for both counties, if it is found to be at the right point, Mohave county losing but a mile of track and few minor pieces of taxable property by the transaction.
 G. w. Beecher departed to Los An geles Wednesday evening, where he will look after J. s. Kolar, who is in the Pacific hospital. The doctors wait ing on Mr. Kolar had not decided what really was the matter with him and after consultation agreed that the only way to find out would be to op- crate on him. The pancreatic duct is closed by an abnormal growth either in the canal or at the head of the duct, which allows of no discharges from the stomach. An operation was to be performed yesterday to remove this obstruction. It is to be hoped that the patient will recover his health after the operation.
 LATER-A telegram received from MT. Beecher states that the operation was successful and that the patient will recover.

Arizona Teachers ResoIute.

At the recent meeting of the teach CTS of Arizona many resolutions were passed looking to the betterment of the schools and incidentally to the purse advantages of the teachers. They will ask the incoming legislature to make special provision for the pay ment of all travelling expenses of teachers attending institutes, and to allow teachers pay for full year, for purpose of allowing them three months for study. Now, in the first place it is optional with teachers whether they attend institutes or not, and under our present law they are allowed their sal, aries while so doing and all the moneys in the fund, which was created for their benefit some years ago. That they should be entitled to full years salary for from six to nine months work is also not to be thought of. Teachers are to be considered as oth- CT salaried people-paid for the work they do. Teachers who fail to study during vacation generally find them- selves without job, while those whose ability commends them are sure to get the top wage, and only study and application can perfect them for the place. It ill becomes the profess sion of teacher to play mendicant, therefore we hope no such resolutions will ever go before the Arizona legis- lature.

cOLD-BLooDED HERoIsM.
Desperate Chances Taken In the Ef-
 fort to Benefit Humanity.

From the Chicago Record Herald
 There are heroes and heroes, those who risk their lives in war, those who take desperate chances to save the lives of others, those who sacrifice themselves in unceasing toll for dependents, those who subject themselves to fearful hazards to accomplish some noble purpose for all mankind. As the acts are different, so are the qualities that enable people io perform them. But an admirable cour- age is necessary in all cases, whether 1t is aroused suddenly in some emergency or invoked for some long trial that de- mands what may be called cold d-bloodod nerosm.
 illustrations of the latter type are af- forded by persons who offer their own bodies and lives for experimental use in medical science. As a general thing, sit is physician who does this. Within two weeks one of them has injected a teaspoonful of lobelia into his veins to prove that 1t is not poisonous. Such acts ought to raise the medical profession greatly in the admiration and respect of everybody
 Physicians, however, are not the only heroes in this class. The world can never repay the debt of gratitude it owes to Lady Wortley Montague who, in or der to popularize inoculation at a time when it was regarded as suicidal folly, submitted herself and her children to the operation.
 A recent case was that of a private soldier, who demonstrated that yellow fever was not contagious by locking him. self up in a shanty for two weeks with the clothing and bedding of yellow fever patients who had died of the disease.
 The latest instance of a. cold-blooded heroism is reported from New York, where Frank Merritt, in the hope of making a contribution to the science of medicine and the treatment of tubercu- losis in particular, had himself inoculat- ed in both lungs with the germs of the disease. He is already far advanced in consumption, and the chances for his recovery. are, of course, problematical. Whatever his condition or prospects may have been, it certainly required extraor- dinary resolution to take this risk, from which even the least fortunate of men would shrink in horror.

"The Mysteries of Paris" was written by Sue after he had tried his hands at novels based on his career in the French army. These early stories, practically forgotten now had made him the idol of France. when he changed his method en- tirely and began to spread on immense canvases his episode stories with a pur- pose-"The Mysteries of Paris and The Wandering Jew" which latter novel ap- peared soon after the fame of tEe former had made Sues name known through the world.
 The Wandering Jew" Is by far the greater as concerns literary style, poet, ', and sweeping imagination in conception and treatment, The present novel excels 1t, however, in variety and rapidity of action"
 The reader of today must remember that he is reading a n5vel written by d close student of sociology and society, who deals vI-h time wh,n ;Ee ra'itNs were fed with criminals only to disgorge them again many times more wicked than when they went in.
 This knowledge is necessary to prevent the assumption that "The Mys 7eries of Paris" is merely and purely melodrama. The world of crime there described, which Is quitet impossible today, was legitimate friutage of the galleys and the prisons,
