EIectrocution of Marquez.

Electricity is to be used by Prison Superintendent Tom Rynning, if he | carries out his present plan, in the ex- ecution of criminals who have been condemned to suffer the death penalty in Arizona for the murder of their fellow beings.
 Rynning will not use electricity to electrocute those who have rt lived the death penalty as it is used in New York and several eastern states, but an invention of his own, by means of wbich the hanging will be done.
 In his private office Rynning will have long board, on which are 12 electric buttons. One of these buttons will connect with the drop on the scaf fold, but which one only Rynning him. self will know.
 When the minute comes for the ex- ecution, Rynning will station 12 men at the board. and at signal each will touch a button, not one of them will know which is the right button. and will never know that he has sent a man into eternity.
 Under the law passed by the last legislature the execution of criminals in Arizona is taken out of the hands of sheriffs in the county in which the sentence is passed, and the superinten- dent of the territorial prison made the legal executioner.
 Rynning has considered several diff ferent plans for the executions. among them being that of Colorado, where the han ging is done by turning water into a machine. At a certain time, no one knows when, the water reaches a point then throws the drop and the man falls.
 After January l next Superinten- dent Rynning will have two men to hang. One of them Marquez, who murdered Hodges at Yuma, and the other a Mexican who shot 8 woman near Florence. The death watch is kept over each of these men. Guards remain on duty eight hours each dur- ing tha entire 24-Yuma Sun.

Washington, D O., Secretary Bal finger of the Interior department has allotted the sum of $15O,OOO and au- thorized the reclamation service to take up immediately the construction of Siphon across the Colorado river to supply water to lands in the vicinity of Yuma, Ariz
 This sIphon connects with the main canal on the California side at point a short distance below Yuma, and will convey 1900 cubic feet of water per second at 8 mean velocity of feet per second under the river It's total length is approximately 1000 feet and it's internal diameter 14 feet. It will be built of reinforced concrete and will be laid in tunnel passing through the bed rock under the stream.

Mexico's New Mining Law.

The Mexico City papers announce the federal senate's having passed the new mining bill. which, as law. will become effective on January i. 1910 The bill passed with no changes from the way it passed the federal Oha mber of Deputies at its session last spring.
 The acquisition of mining pertenen- cias is made much simpler than here tofore, and considerable red tape which has been the bane of mining men all over the republic is removed with pas sage of thls bill.
 Another important feature of the law is that it makes only the federal courts competent to try cases of prop erty rights. disputes and practically all mining litigation. Many concessions are made to the mining interests gen. erally and no restrictions are imposed on the acquisition of mines by reason of nationality. The minister of fomen- to is giving final authority in all cases which are not carried to court. At

AXIOMS That FAILED.

Aim high" they said to William
Brown
And he chose notions elevated;
To common things he gave a frown
He felt for grCa.Gc~5 he was fated
Alas, he did not rise to fame,
Nor realize his high ambitions
He put SO much thought on his aim
He quite forgot his ammunition.
And hitch your wagon to a star"
Was what they counseled Henry
Walker;
He wished the journey that he made
Was not distinguished by its far,
ness;
His wagon led no cavalcade
Because ne overlooked the harness
do not put up your eggs" they said
To Hiram Perkins, Sin one basket. -
Now, Hiram had it in his head
To some day own a treasured cas-.
ket.
Alas, he met the worst of fates-
He trought of fortune in a slather
But while assembling all his crates
He did not think the eggs to gather
"a burnt child breads the fire." they
told
To julius Miggles for his training;
He waited then till things were cold
Even a lukewarm chance disdaining.
Alas, although his fingers ne'er
Were scorched by anything he han.
died
The fortune that might be his care
To-day in other hands is handled.
