The Country Girl in Town.
Le is coming to the city-alone.

She is coming to the city-alone.
 In the country nothing occurs. Life is about the same every day. And the girl has not yet learned that the greatest boon in life is to be content and that the quiet places are the best
 It is the monotony that tires her, she thinks The same faces are to be seen at the church every Sunday and at the picnics She knows this one as "Bill' and that one as Sarah" Familiarity has bred contempt. And over all the coun- tryside is the never varying look of things The familiar has grown trite and finally dstasteful.
 But wonder is the city!
 Ah everything happens in the city. There are plenty of new faces there. The scenes change like those of kaleid- oscope Lots of new sensations in the cityl It's air is tonic. Surely, life must be fuller there.
 The girl Is young and innocent ln her inexperience she dreams Ianc1Iui dreams. Perhaps she is ambitious lo get on in the world, or inpatient or restraint, or she is lured by the rlamour of the town. She does not realize how safe is the sheitereo iile she has always lived in the quiet neighborhood She cannot appreciate the verity of her present certainty.
 Poor girl!
 What does she know of the swirl or city life, of the dangerous underfoW pr its deceitful currents?
 She does not know the wickedness Of the metropolis. She does not even know herself!
 And just there is one of her dangers.
 The girl does not realize the fact tnet her very virtues under strong tempta ton may lead to her betrayal of her self. She does not appreciate the fact that her very gentleness of nature pre- vents her bringing to bear upon the deceitful tempter the force Of scorh which the sophisticated can summon to their aid She does not know her own weaknesses.
 Poor lassie!
 Her loving disposition does not hard ly know how to deny. Her sweet un selfshness scarcely is able to reluse. Livery best quality of her being may lead to her undoing. Her innocence of real life. her youthful enthusiasms her disposition to sacrifice herself-ah. the pity of it!-all these are the sruH by which she may be ruined.
 Because
 Where the defenseless chicken stravs. over that place circles the cruel hawk and swoops upon it's prey.
 Poor girl!
 If she falls into the wrong set or associates and there is no one by her side to warn and guide, God help the childi
 If. on the other hand. she IS strong of character, wary, capable or restraint and self reliant one Will take care or herself and rise, above the undercur- rents of temptation.

One He Was a Man.

This is an editorial about one who used to be a man.
 He is now a millionaire.
 This man began his business life with out dollar. If, as some one has said, "a man is worth only $2 a day from his shoulders down and s20 a day from his shoulders up," this man at first was worth only $2 a day After awhile he began to use his head-to work from his shoulders up.
 As soon as he got to working from his shoulders up he began to work others He learned how to make money grow money He was smart enough presently to corner some special privileges that the man who works with his hands never gets He monopolized opportunities. After that he began to get rich quick. In little while he was millionaire.
 And there was the mans wife.
 When he was just beginning to do things with his head he married a fine girl who, like himself was poor. She worked hard, denying herself. She saved and slaved and lost her beauty. What mattered it? They were getting rich. They would enjoy their prosperity together.
 Then this man became a thing.
 He looked into the face of his wife and D~NN -N her best to please him, but the old charm was gone. And one day this creature in male garments happened to bump into girl who was artful, fascinating and pretty to boot. She looked at him and smiled. He was hypnotized and finally undone He would have this woman. He would buy her. He was rich enough to do so.
 And thus the plot thickened.
 The male creature sent his lawyers to the old wife, who had literally given her self to him, body and soul and offered her much money. The lawyers told the wife her husband had no further use for her. Then came the divorce suits and the scandal. Finally the millionaire went away with the pretty woman. And almost every day the old wife cried
 Who is this fellow with much money and no soul?
 Turn to the commercial reports of Dun or Bradstreet and read over the list of milionaires quoted there. If you will pick out some one at random you will scarcely fail to find his name and ad- dress.
 He is now a millionaire.
 He once was a man.

As to Living 15o Years.

How long do you hope to live?
 The answer largely will depend upon your age.
 Just now much is being said about the art of long living. Longevity is the great theme of the physicist.
 Says recent writer: There is no good reason why a man should not live to be 150 years old"
 Beg pardon!
 There are some reasons to the contrary, even should a man be able to keep body and soul together that long. The reasons are inside the man--in the wool and web of his spirit
 The man who reaches, say. 90 years, may have the desire to live longer. He may not be appalled, at the future stretch ing out before him for another 50 years, but he is simply unable in spirit to ac- complish it.
 He is built that way. In spite of his primal love of living, he simply gets tired of mortal life. He has suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous for tune until in the very knot and center of his being he is weary-weary as q tired child at eventide
 Why?
 The aged man is necessarily lonely
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-07-26
Why? Why? Why7

Why does a baseball pitcher receive S10,000 a year for his work and a set clement worker only $500 year for his?
 Why is the president of a life in surance company paid $100,0O0 in sal ary and perquisites, while the hard worked head of a school draws , meager wage?
 Why do we pay the highest price to the man who saves our dollars and the lowest price to the man who saves our souls?
 Why does the world offer fortunes to the man who shows us how to make money and starvation wages to the man who shows. us how to make beautiful lives?
 Why does the woman who shines i'll society get recognition and the woman who paints a picture get press notices and medals, while neither recognition nor medals come to the woman who keeps model household and rears mo- blel children?
 Why do we accord highest place to money mongers and lowest place to teachers of ideals?
 Why do we point to big factories and high buildings as indces of a req, prosperity?
 Why do men fuse body and soul. brain and conscience, into frenzied money madness?
 Why all this?
 Simply because the fullness of time has not yet come for a people to dis card false standards of civilization. because our people have not held the right estimates of human life. We have stumbled over the definition of the supreme good. Here and there noble men have pointed us l higher ideals, but we have not needed
 But
 Thank goodness, a change is com- ing over the spirit of American dreams. We are beginning to raise right standards.
 It is this way:
 Heretofore only the material things have concerned us. We must master a continent We must girdle the globe with our commerce. In this accomplishment we have grasped the occult forces of na- ture and solved as no other people have solved the problem of the production of wealth
 Now we must stop!
 We are up against greater problem the equitable distribution of wealth.
 An, that is differentl When you start to study that problem you run against all sorts of moral aws-humanitarianism justice, righteousness. You begin to see how false is the standard that pays the most to him who ministers to the lowest and the least to him who ministers to the highest
 And so-
 We are beginning to see that men and not money are the supreme ~ood; that the greatest wealth is ch; r'ntr,; that the only real things worth producing are manhood and womanhood.
 The time of our strabismus when we say things awry Is slowly passing.

defense, who said that he seldom took the stand in behalf of a client but he felt moved to do so in this case on account of the great benefit he had received from the mineral water.
 He had for years been a sufferer from eczema and catarrh and his con dition had become such that he had been unable to attend to business. But since he began the use of the mineral water he had been so re- lieved that he could be at his place of business every day. Another wit ness was Mir. Mckee ST, who had been relieved of an obstinate case of stomach and bowel trouble by the use of the water.
 The rest of the proceedings con- sisted of arguments by counsel on points of law relating to the subject of unprofessional conduct. The board was represented by United States Attorney Alexander and Capt. George D. Christy.

GEORGE MITCHELL
 AND CLARA MINES
HE TELLS OF THE THINGS THAT
 ARE REALLY BEING DONE.
What They Mean For the Future of Western Arizona May Be Easily Un- derstsod.

George Mitchell the general mana ger of the Clara Consolidated Gold and Copper Mining company" arrived in Phoenix yesterday afternoon and later started for Los Angeles.
 Mir Mitchell reports many improve ments at the mine. All of the new shelter machinery is in BOuse with the exception of one car load which is now in Fl Paso Texas, but will be sent on within the next few days. The station at the 300 foot level of the Moro Group is nearly completed and within sixty days they expect to be down to the 500 foot level. steam hoist is about to be installed, also gasoline and electric plants are being set up. A new four mile pipe line is in course of construction. A gasoline engine will furnish the power for the pumping plant.
 Three large buildings measuring 2SX40 each are being erected for the accommodation of the miners. An of flee building has also been started. Three spacious residences are being put up. One will be occupied by Geo. Mitchell. one by the superintendent of the mine and one by the foreman. The company at present owns IFS claims and is steadily buying as many more as can be bought around the district where the property is situated At the present time the amount of pay ore il sight will exceed two and a quarter million tons. Several mining experts who have visited the mines lately think this a conservative estimate. Professor J. C. Sterling who for many years was geologist for the British government in Australia and since pensioned has lately arrived from British Columbia He has just com pleted q very efficient descriptive re- port of conditions geological. petrolog ical and typographical of the old Sig nal'' group and is now working on the upper end Of the property which in cludes the old Clara" group, Grown Princess Grown Queen" Moro groups.
 This report is considered one of the most complete and perfect ever shown to the general public. Many other companies have given expert reports to their shareholders but very few have given full detailed report of their property to the public at large.
 Many photographs are also included in Professor Sterling's report in order that it may be more thoroughly un- derstOod.
 Mir. Mitchell will probably return to Phoenix within the next few days then say farewell to the Clara" mines for some months as on the first of the year he intends to start on a trip to London, England, and intends to com bine business with pleasure
 Many of MT. Mitchelrs relations and friends live across the Atlantic and he is as well known in London, Bristol. and South Wales as he is in Arizona or California and is a member of the Carlton club of London, England.

| failing in that, an appeal would be made to the territorial supreme court and that in the meantime the com pany would continue the treatment of | its patients and that a corporation would be formed for the bettling of the waters of the Nueva Vita springs on a large scale
 At the beginning of the hearing yesterday, Judge StilweI for pr. Ali ton objected to the proceedings as illegal on the ground that Dr. Alton had not been regularly cited. This objection was Overruled and testf- | mony regarding the advertisement on which the action was based was in troduced. After that Dr. Bond, Dr Dysart, Dr. Redewill and Dr. Thomas were sworn on behalf of the board In general way they testified that the diseases which had been adver- tised as cured were incurable though some forms of catarrh and incipient tuberculosis were curable and there had been instances of the recovery from Bright's disease Judge Me COrmick for the defense asked Dr.
 
 medical science was progressing and that many diseases formerly regarded as incurable were now curable. pr. Redewill replied that that was the case, and under further cross exam ination he said that he had never used the mineral waters of the Bi- Lo-Zone company in his practice. He had used similar properties but of diff ferent combination.
 The testimony and the cross exam ination of the other physicians were of the same general tenor.
 Dr. Alton said that he had not authorized the publication or that his name should be signed to it. z. c. Angevine, manager of the company. swore that he wrote the article; that Dr. Alton had no knowledge of it and that he himself, MT. Angevine had not authorized the publication Of the name of Dr. Alton in con nection with the testimonials which he had offered for publication.
 Regarding his own experience with the mineral water. MT. Angevine said that he had become interested in it because it had cured him of an ail- ment which had incapacitated him for business for more than a year.
 MT. Sales, one of the patients who had used the remedy, said that he had had Bright's disease and that several physicians of Phoenix had pronounced his case a bad one; that he was operated on last September for stone in the bladder and that the wound would not heal; that after he began the use of the water it was healed in about two weeks and he had been well ever since.
 MT. Parks said that for twenty years he had suffered with a can cer and had had the treatment of the best specialists without result. He had been greatly relieved since he began the treatment of Dr. Alton and he believed he would get well.
 Mrs. Thomas of the Valley Lodging house testified that she had suffered of tuberculosis and had been bed ridden. she suffered of tuberculosis | of the stomach and bowels and | though she had doctored extensively | she had had no relief until she took l the treatment of Dr. Alton and that she was now cured. Several other | witnesses swore that they had been cured or relieved of supposedly in | curable or obstinate diseases. Among them was Judge Mccormick for the
