becoming a bonanza and a few weeks

ready a number of slopes accessible
and presenting faces of ore whose
values run from SIS per ton upward to
figures that are fancy. A careful esti-

amount at 5000 0tons, and this has been
materially increased in the past two

PASSING OF AN OLD
 ARIZONA PIONEER
Uncle Tom Holland the Sage of Castle Hot Springs Died at an Advanced Age.

Uncle Tom Holland died in the Vet erans' home in Napa, Cal, on Wednes- day August F, having passed his S2nd birthday Dec. 27, 1907 This fact has been known in the city for several days but some added details were secured | from a letter from Miss Minnie Grove ! to Phoenix friend, she having been almost her entire life an intimate
 friend and associate of the old Ari- zona pioneer.
 Uncle Tom was confined to his bed but few days though he had not had good health for some time. The writ CT of the letter gave him all possible attention in his closing days by mes sage etc, but did not visit him, fearing her call at the home would only alarm him for his own condition and possibly hasten the end. Miss Grove and sev- eral relatives and personal friends of the dead man were present at his fun eral which was conducted by the ser vice of the home, ending with the fir ing of d vOlley or the military salute
 in honor of a dead soldier
 Thomas Holland was one of the best
 known and the least known of the old
 pioneers of Arizona. He was loved and
 respected by every person who had the pleasure of his acquaintance though he
 was reticent and slow in the making
 of new acquaintances. Of his early
 life little seems to be known by the
 present day folk hereabout, though it
 is likely many of the old timers in the territory are acquainted with the facts
 He was a typical mountaineer, rough
 in the exterior, but as warm hearted and kindly in manner as anyone ever
 was He possessed a natural wit that made him quite famous locally and
 was something of philosopher in his deductions. He had been quite an ex- tensive reader and had ideas about all questions of the hour which he ex- pressed in his unpublished dialect of the hills in way that never failed to entertain his audience.
 He was best known in his connection with the Castle Hot Springs Many have credited him with having dis covered that natural wonder though good authorities state that it was dis covered by a still older pioneer now long dead, who lived near the springs for few years. In any event it is known that Tom Holland came into their possession way back in the sev- enties and made his home there until the property was acquired by the pres ent ownership a few years ago. The Grove family also lived there, Miss Minnie having practically grown up be- fore the eyes of the old gentleman
 For years the healing virtues of the springs were known and summer and winter there were camping parties from Phoenix and Prescott, almost journeying to and fro to- benefit by bathing in their waters. MT Holland was the general host of all who travelled that way and hundreds

CALIFORNIA LEAQUERS.

Oakland Aug. 23.-With 100 dele gates in attendance, representing 43 of the 5S counties in the state, the in- dependence league party held its state convention today and nominated ten presidential electors. only one con- gressional candidate was nominated, the other seven districts deferring nominations until later date Hearst did not attend but had been expected. He sent word from his ranch in San Luis Obispo county that he could not be present, which considerably disar- ranged the plans of the managers.
 Aside from a dozen women repre- senting the Woman's suffrage move ment, there were few spectators at the convention.

of weary pilgrims have him to thank for little kindnesses and cOurtesies and necessities of camp life, in day when such things were not available or eX- pected outside of the few small towns in the territory. It was the little journeys to Tom Hollands camp that made him famous the country over, rather than anything he ever did to court publicity. His passing will re- mind the older residents of many incl dents of the early days, both humorous and serious, and though regretting his death will feel within themselves that it is but the natural ending of a long and useful life, devoted to the little things that give pleasure to other peo- pre- rather than to any effort at great achievement on his own part.

AFTER THE RAILROADS
Attorney General Jackson of New York
 Begins Proceedings.

Albany, Aug. 23.-Attorney General Jackson tonight announced that he had instituted proceedings against various railroads in the state and their subsi- diary companies engaged in the trans portation of anthracite coal He all legged the violating of the anti-mono poly act. He affirmed they are now carrying out an agreement which is in effect a monopoly of the hard coal bus mess of the state and that restricts the production and fixes prices.

Pig Iron In November

About 4 per cent more pig iron was produced in November, short month, than in October, and the indications are that an equal gain will be recorded in December The coke furnaces of the country produced last month 1,577,- S54 tons.
 In this district 23 coke furnaces turned out 139,013 tons of pig iron. This is within or per cent of the districts prosperity output and the blowing in of another stack would per haps bring the monthly product up to normal.
 This districts output is at present exceeded by that of the Pittsburg dis trict and of the Chicago district only. We are not far behind the Chicago ols- trict, and are still leading New York handsomely The furnaces of this dis trict are making iron and earning goou money, and this is something to be proud of, all things considered.

Presidential Powers

The waning power of President soon to retire from office generally be- comes manifest to free criticism, and MT Roosevelt is no exception to the rule. The particular occasion arises over the use of detectives appointed to watch counterfeiters and yiolators of the internal revenue laws. The President has seen fit to use these de- tectiyes to run down even Congress- men engaged in land frauds. In his last annual message he objects to the restrictions imposed last year on the secret service, and in the course of his objections he said: Tn it's present form the restriction operates only to the advantage of the criminal, to the wrongdoer The chief argument in favor of the provision was that the Congressmen did not themselves wish to be investigated by secret service men" He goes on to discuss the sub ject in his customary manner, and Congressmen are full of wrath. Con gressman Perkins of New York, a re- publican, called for committee of five to consider the Presidents statement, and the House adopted his resolution in hot haste unanimously.
 There are other indictments urged against the President. He ordered the old Pennsylvania station on the Mall pulled down without authority of jaw He did it because he did not want to see the building there. Then, too, he gave his farm uplifters the franking privilege, all outside the law, the com mission as well as it's franking privi- lege.
 These things simply show how auto cratic the Big Stick was fast becoming, and they also show how rapidly the power of that stick vanishes as the day of change in March approaches.

The New Majestic.

The Majestic theatre will reopen on December 2S. after having been closed for a couple of weeks. and 1t will be the prettiest little playhouse in the south, said Manager Gould yesterday. We are spending s20.0OO on improvements. includ- ing complete ~overhauling of the theatre from top to bottom.
 When the theatre opens we will offer the public the best line of vaudeville at fractions ever brought south. In addi- tion to the regular bills that will appear all over our circuit, we will bring special big headline acts from Chicago every week. They vii come direct to Birming- ham and return from here to Chicago. Some of these acts will cost as much as $50 each and will be the very best that the Chicago and New York vaudeville houses play. We will also improve the class of our entire vaudeville bill, spend- ing more money on every act in the bill.
 We will try to make this family the atre, catering to the best people only, and our opening night will be a big social occasion, with the boxes full of the lead ing society peopel of Birmingham"

Typhoid Vaccination
country

Live bacilli and COW give immunity from smallpox, but immunization in typhoid Is gained by the use of bacilli directly without the intervention of any animal. Tha bacili are placed in bouillon and then killed by heating to 60 degrees centigrade, and this extract is used for vaccination purposes. When this Is injected into the human system it does not give the patient the dis ease, but causes the formation of sub stances In the serum of his blood that oppose the disease and enable him to expose himself safely to 1t.
 Vaccination for typhoid is coming into large use in the armies of the world, and also among physicians and nurses in hospitals. It will probably be ss freely used in short time as vaccination is against smallpox. One is just about as effective as the other, and we have more typhoid to deal with than smallpox.
 In Philadelphia many are resorting to typhoid immunization, and if our physicians would advocate it's use while our sanitary authorities are en- deavoring to remove the sources of germs, we could the sooner get rid of the typhoid bacilli. All things con- sidered. the typhoid germ is the worst disease germ that ever afflicted this valley.

Pellagra In the South

The disease that first affects the skin and later the mucous membranes of the body until lunacy or exhaustion appears, resulting in about seven deaths out of every ten cases is not confined to this country, nor is it con fined to the southern states in this country. There are cases across the sea, and there are cases in other parts of this country. The number of cases is not great, and there are no indications of a great increase in the number of cases.
 The disease is undoubtedly more a disease of degenerates than of Indian corn meal. Poor food and poor hy. gienic conditions lead to poor physi- cal condition, and then pellagra or some other disease appears. It is scarcely just to attribute the new form of lunacy to the consumption of damaged Indian corn meal, although meal of that sort no doubt contributes to the result
 At the Mt. Vernon hospital there have been about 150 cases, with q death rate of about 5S per cent. There are no cases there now. Better living and better hygiene drive the disease out. The disease has been carefully studied by Drs. Searcy and McCaf- ferty. They were the first to recog- nize pellagra in the United States, and probably know more about it than any other two physicians in the entire country.

British Conservatism.

Ambassador Bryce, the distinguished British statesman, diplomatist aud pub lcist, made an observation in the course of a recent speech delivered in New York which struck me as being as timely as it was true" said Charles D. Amory of Philadelphia. T refer to his gentle and kindly criticism of Americans In their lack of patience touching great reform propositions. In other words, he found that the people of this country wanted to reform all sorts of things in a hurry, whereas in Great Britain reform was a matter of slow but steady growth. In the mother country broad social and economic questions were discussed and threshed put for years before they were Incorporated into law. l do not quote MT. Bryce's language, but what l have just said is the upshot or gist of his remarks. Mr Bryce had in mind. perhpas. the de- mand for currency reform. tariff reform. railroad rate reform and other problems relating to finance and commerce. His idea, however, would apply to every im- portant question, including prohibition The eminent Britisher was maaIng plea for calm deliberation and a protest against nasty and immature action.
 We have the greatest country and the best system of government in the world, but our public men and lawmakers often make blunders, and serious blunders too, by following the crowd instead of leading in matters requiring unimpassioned and statesmanlizo treatment. In England the people agitate for years before parliament acts and while that rule may be a bit too conservative. England's statutes in modern times have been drawn usually witn wisdom, and being a reflection of public sentiment well weighed, they stand and are obeyed"
