OF
 GOLD LANDS STARTED

The next step in the development of the new Arizona gold fields has been taken and the parceling out of rich ground to leasers has begun, says the Phoenix Republican. Two leases have been made by President Sharpe on the Salome Hillside group after the manner of the leasing sys- tenn in vogue in Colorado and Nevada and witR very similar terms and re- quirements. That Is the news, or part of it. at least, brought back by Homer B. King, who returned from the gold camp yesterday, and verified also by the leasers. who are also here preparing to begin businss at once.
 One of the leases is to be known as the Cowboy lease, the parties to it being C. B. Holman, the discoyerer of Rawhide, also interested in the Bouse district, and R. L. Hall The Cowboy lease covers the east end of the block of the Hillside claim and contains about ten acres. Holman and Hall have secured teams for transporta- ton purposes and will begin the driv- ing of a tunnel at once. They expect to make good money after paying the royalty, and have confidence in the ground, for their lease only runs eighteen months, so they figure on getting early results. They were on the ground and gave 1t careful pros pecting bringing down a large number nf samples for assaying, and in their exploration discovered a very pleas ing ore body on the property that had oot previously been noticed by the owners. Free gold was in evidence. and the rock would have been pro- nounced as most enthusing to any body except under the shadow of the pig bonanza, but it looks good to the lease holders, and they will take a chance on it.
 The other lease was the center block of the Hillside, a somewhat smaller area than the Cowboy lease, and was disposed of to Ernie Hall and associates, who have organized what they call the Salome Bonanza Mines company. They started an out fit out and begun actual work on the property on Thursday last.
 The two leasers in the exploitation of the property will begin close to- gether and work in opposite direc- tions, one to the east and the ether to the west, along the contact

The Essence sf eu6ehIst Thought.
 There Is story that Emerson was stopped in the street one day by an ex cited member of the now forgotten sect of Millerites. who exclaimed. "Mr Emerson. do you know that the world Is going to be destroyed in ten days?" Well, said Emerson. T don't see but we shall get along just as well with out it." The incident is cited by Dr. William s. Bigelow. the latest of the ingersoll lecturers at Harvard uni yersity, in his book.

"SHiNDLERS PA7hDiS E."

Under the above caption the Wall Street Journal publishes the follow, ing advertisement, taken from Min ing Science, published at Denver The advertisement is of an incorpor- at'on agency in Phoenix and reads as follows:
 Incorporate your business under Arizona laws Most liberal in United States. No franchise or annual tax Members exempt from all corporate debts. No public statements to be published or filed. Capitalization does not effect cost. Cost very small Charters cannot be repealed by sub sequent leg station. Hold stockhold- CTS and directors meetings. keep books and transact business any where. Any kind of stock can be is sued and paid up in cash, services. or property, and made non-assessable. Book of forms and bylaws, also a 200-page bound Corporate Record book given gratis to each incorpora- tion. We sell stock for and finance newly incorporated companies Write
 
 nation" on Arizona Corporation Laws with blanks, etc.
 Commenting on the above an nouncement of the splendid opportun- ity for rascality in the territory of Arizona the Boston News Bureau makes this pertinent inquiry: Did Wall street ever place such a pre- mium on theft as the above?"
 The incorporation laws of Arizona have many times brought the blush of shame to the honest citizens of the territory. During the past ten years these laws have been standing with outstretched arms ready to welcome every wildcatting concern which de- sired to skin the public in such a manner that they could not be held responsible for their rascality. But while the law is Q disgraceful one, still it does not afford all the oppor- tunities for fraud and theft pictured by this Phoenix advertisement. Just who caused this advertisement to be inserted in the mining journal is not stated, but it reads like one of Ike, the Bandit" lately an aspirant for appointment as governor of Arizona.

Gate q Rernstnal Renlnder.

Situated in Avon. Mass. is a curious gate made from a tree trunk and parts of branches. the latter forming the word equity. II is clcse beside the main road to Boston, and has been an object of curiosity to pas sengers oa the trolley cars which rass by. The land in that section was owned at one time by a Mir. Porter. who erected the gate with the word Porter" inserted. When the town of Avon. established a water supply. some of Mir. Porter's land was taken for that purpose. Tn the dispute that en- sued he thought himself unfairly treat ed, and changed the word to Equity" as a continual reminder of the lnjus- tice, real or fancied. which he s1f- fered. The gate has stood unchanged for 20 years. bieached and weather beaten but still strong and sery.cs- able, and is used almost daily.-Strand Magazine.

The apparent failure of these

be remembered that mere ma

ReIegating the Horse. 4.

With the announcement that he
has perfected a new and superior
type of storage battery for cleo
tncally propelled vehicles, Mr.
Thomas A. Edison couples the
prediction that his invention will
! drive the city dray horse into the
ranks of the unemployed He ex-
poets, we are told. to see taxicabs
and pleasure auto-vehicles, as we'll
as drays and trucks, equipped with
the new device, but it is with the
latter that his prophecy principally
deals His battery, he says,
solves one of the growing problems
in street traffic in New York and
other big cities. 1t will do away
completely with the horse there in
a little time.
Its introduction will eliminate the
horse in crowded centers, and will
reduce the space occupied by the
horse and carriage or truck. This,
of course, means a big saving of
space, | should say nearly half. In
turn this saving will permit the
multiplication Of moving vehicles
in a given space. Then, too, the
power of truck of team horses
will be doubled, at least. The
speed viii also be more than
doubled =
All of this hath a plausible ring,
and Mr.. Edison is not q prophet
without honor in his own country.
But it is well to remem ber that the
horse will take a lot of relegating.
This is by no means the first time
that he has been reglegated on
paper: but the dray horse and the
dray mule are yet like the sands Of
the sea in number. The auto
truck is no new thing. 1t has been
so long in use that city-broke
wayfarers no longer stop to gaze
and marvel when it ambIes by.
But it has not displaced its four
footed competitor, any more than
the automobile has eliminated the
carriage horse. If our memory
