Superstition.

r Superstition has always stood in
the wayIof the worlds progress,
or rather the progress of the world
means the Punishment of supersti
tions; the one is naturally and
necessarily broken down as the
other advances. A large part OF
the worlds population have strong
superstitions and many people in
the more civilized countries have
their qualms, and often permit the
most ridiculous superstitions to in
terfere with their business affairs.
The vendors of patent medicines
and other tradsmen advertise and
originate new superstitions for the
purpose of trade. These lucky books
are closely studied by young maid
ems who have their first beau or
wonder why they havn't one, and
boys who are about ready to shed
their knee breeches for long trOu-
sers. The following is sample OF
the omens published in we'll worn
"luck book" lying handy.
1t is lucky to wear jewellery on
Thursday.
Thursday is a lucky day for
weddings.
cit is lucky to open a store on
Thursday.
off you laugh on Friday you will
weep ON Monday.
Friday is an unlucky day for a
wedding.
"Men are luckiest on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays: women
on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur-
days.
'It is lucky to find pencil.
''To find a postage stamp is a
sign you will lose your position.
Grinding a hat pin is sign of a
quarrel.
Grinding a spoon means sickness.
Grinding a thimble means a
change of employment.
Grinding a bottle means losing
a friend.
Grinding collar means making
an enemy.
Grinding a hairpin means a
coming fall.
eff you find nail, hammer il
into something, at the same time
making a wish. By doing this you
will hammer the wish into fact.
''For baseball team to meet q
funfral is a sign of victory.
''To change your luck, when

Or, push card out from the

Or, blow through the pack when
shuftling;
Or turn your hataround back to
the front;
Or throw penny over your
left shoulder;
Or tie a knot in the tail of your
shirt;
Or spit in a wooden rag and

Or think of the gallows in all

PROSPECT IN

Bisbee Miners File On
Continuation Of The
Big Stick
From Saturdays Daily)

Charles Flynn and Dan Il. Seed are
back in Bisbee from prospecting tour
on which they started March is last.
On their trip they covered 300 miles
between Bisbee and the western part
of Yhvapai county. The two men ira
veled by wagon outfit with two norses,
bringing the team back in good shape.
They struck some fierce storms, on the
way back especially, and on their trip
prospected through Coehise, Pinal, Ma
ricopa, Mohave and Yavapai counties,
says the Bisbee Review.
The two men located n group of
claims in Yavapai county which give
all indications of being valuable gold
property. II is "a continuation of the
Big Stick Company's ledge on the
Santa Maria river in Yavapai county.
The Big Stick is a noted property in
the territory, one of the best gold
mines in the county, and Yavapai this
year will lead all counties of the ter
ritory in gold production. The Big
Stick Company is at present working
22 men in the mine. A 20 stamp mill
is being erected and the management
expects to have the plant in operation
by the first of the present year. The
ore Of the Big Stick averages between
81 and sl2 a ton gold and is from five
TO seven feet in width. The group OF
claims located by Flynn and Seed they
called the Ives Peak group, being right
at the foot Of Ives Peak. The ore, il
is stated, will run about the same av'
erage as that from the Big Stick mine.
The claims are located for a number
Of Bisbee capitalists who comprise the
Arizona Prospecting Company. II is
the intention Of the company to devel'
op the property.
Flynn and Seed came back by way
of the Santa Rita mountains. They
say that country has fine prospects, but
there is little doing at present, There

working at the present time, doing a
little placer mining, prospecting and
