The Eight Hour Law.

The eight hour law passed by the
last legislature. and which prescrihes
eight hours as the limit of day IS
work for all underground employees of
mines, will take effect on the 9th Of
May. The law is understood to IN
clude millmen in its provisions.
While the miners association is
talking about contesting the con-
stitutionality of the law in the
courts, there is no doubt that it will
be complied with in Amador county.
There seems no disposition to dis
regard it. The general opinion is
that strict compliance with its
terms will have very little effect upon
the conditions in the mines of this
county. AT present the miners work
nine hours, but the men are lowered
TO the different levels on the COM
pany's time, and come out of the
mine. on their own time, 0r vice
versa. by the new law, the eight
hours work will no doubt he inter
pTeted as requiring the fall number
of hours in actual work at the place
of operations; the going to or COM
ing from the spot being excluded
from the eight hours.

Death of Mrs. Farley.

Mrs. Florence Farley, relict of the late Senator Farley, of California, died in Kingman last Tuesday night. She came here last September with her daughter, Miss Louise, hoping that our climate would aid her back to health. In passing through the earth quake horrors of San Francisco she emerged nervous wreck, and gradu- ally failed until the end came. Her body was prepared for shipment and sent to Jackson, California, last Thurs day evening, where it will be buried in the family plot. The daughter ac- companied the remains to their last resting place. A son and daughte CT are left to mourn the death of loving mother,

Allen Marsh Dead.

Last Wednesday night Allen Marsh one of the oldest residents of this sec tion of Arizona, died at his rooms ir Kingman. MT. Marsh had been ailing some time and his death was not un expected.
 Allen Marsh came to the Pacific coast from his home in Indiana in 1864 and began life in the desert country. Fol years he operated trading places along the old mail route across the Mohave desert, in the mining camps and in some of the larger towns. He made fortunes and spent them. Al ways a soldier of fortune he took chances that few would take and al- ways succeeded. His life was lonely one, never confiding in any one, nor associating with companions, his later life was spent practically alone. In his prospecting trips he slipped off by himself, being gone many months in the mountains and deserts. About twenty years ago he went into the Grand Canyon north of Williams and had his boat wrecked. For days he was without food and only by his in domitable will did he succeed in get ting out of the mighty gorge and back to civilization. The past several years he has been a resident of Kingman, taking little active part in the affairs of the world.
 A daughter who he had not heard from in twenty years is supposed to be in some part of the east.
 The funeral took place from theu h. dertaking parlor of Van Marter X Casteel last Thursday evening, many old timers following the remains to the grave.

 Joe Rosenburg has been out in the mining camps gathering data for use in booklet on the resources of the county, which will be published later in the year.
 Edward Solomon, war governor of Wisconsin, died at his home at Frank fort, Germany, on the 2Oth of April. Deceased was an uncle of Ernest Salo- mon, of this place.
 J. B. Eastman, one of the old timers of this county, who went to California about ten years ago, returned to King man Wednesday last. He has been at the Soldiers Home the past three years.

Through inadvertance the MINER failed to note the death few weeks ago, at her home in northern Califor- mia, of Mrs. Baker, mother of Mrs. Ida Crozier, of this county. Many years ago Mrs. Baker was resident of Mo- have county, having come here with her daughters and taking up stock raising as pursuit. She was success ful, but later sold her interests and moved to California, where two sons and a daughter resided. There she lived the past twenty years. She was we'll known among the older people of the county as woman of sterling worth. Her many old time friends in this county will hear of her death with regret.
 Frank Neal, native of this county, died at Prescott hospital last Satur. day of Bright's disease. He was being taken to Los Angeles from his home in Parker when it was found that he was too ill to stand the trip and was taken off the train at Prescott by his brother, Ivan Neal, who was accom-. panying him. Deceased was a hust. ling fellow and his loss to the family will be deeply felt. He was son of w. A. Neal, a Mohave county super visor few years ago.
 P. E. Ceilings was badly injured last Saturday afternoon by falling from a staging on which he was at work. He struck on his head and shoulders, frac- turing his collar bone and badly bruis- ing himself. He is now getting along all right, but will be laid up for some time.

Music in the Public School.

How often we hear the remark; Many
OF our worst criminals are educated men.
Education is a good thing, but adds
nothing to the real character. 1t is
readily conceded that a one-sided edu-
cation, examining with unassimilated
knowledge, leaves much to be desired.
But there is an education which gives
such poise and such a grasp on the
worth while" that crime becomes an
abnormality.
Therefore, the best educators of to-
day are recognizing more and more the
Importance of a broad and comprehen-
sive training of ALL the faculties-draw-
ing and kindred arts for the eye and
hand, athletics for the muscles, music
for the ear and voice, and by the help
of ALL the cultured intellect The peo-
pie are demanding more and more that
the public school shall broaden its pu-
pills, make them more receptive of the
fine things of life and not sharpen them
to a keen edge for accumulatiye pur-
poses only.
As rule, boys learn music reluc-
family, because they have been accus-
toned to consider its cultivation a sign
of effeminacy. Indeed, mature men
make the same mistake, forgetting the
variability of the standard of manli-
ness, and that less than century ago
a man was effeminate or not according
to the number Of glasses he could con-
sumo before rolling under the table.
That the whole human race is sus-
Ceptible to musical influences, in vary
ing degrees, is not even debatable Why
it is so is a problem for psychologists.
How we may make use of it for the bet
terment of the race is clearly within the
province of the public school. Reach
ing as it does all classes of men, its very
reason for being the right of every mine
to be developed to its highest capacity
it could be made leader of true de
mocracy in this country.

tom of the savage melting to hideou'

Rev. 10 McLeskey.

Rev 10 McLeskey was born in Car
roll County, Tenn. 1882. He left there
in young manhood and entered Bethel
College, McLemoresyille, Tenn. He
was converted in childhood Entered
the ministry of the Cumberland Pres
byterian Church in 1855. He labored
principally in West Tennessee, but his
last charge was in Paducah, KY. He
was married in 1858 to Miss Ellen Car
ter, of Middleburg, Obion County, Tenn
To this union were born seven children,
four of whom preceded him to Heaven,
leaving Rev. w. H McLeskey, pastor
of Fulton church, J. E. McLeskey, of
jackson, Tenn, and Mrs. w H. For
bis, of Jackson, Tenn. In 1879 he was
again married to Mrs. Sallie Cooper, of
Rutherford County. To this union were
born three children, Mrs D. A. Hips,
Paragould, Ark, Miss Callie McLeskey
and 10 McLeskey, of Fulton These
three children with the wife are are left
to mourn their loss.
Brother 10 breathed his last at his
home in Fulton on Wednesday evening
at 5.45 p. M, May 5, just as the day
was closing. One of the greatest lives
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church
ever produced has closed The church
has been the mother of many great
men, but none of her sons in the min
istry ever eclipsed Uncle 10 McLeskey.
No preacher of the Cumberland Pres
byterian Church, or of any other de-
nomination, ever did more for the Mas
ter's cause than did Uncle 10. He went
through the war, and preached every
where he had an opportunity He
would preach under the trees, under
mill sheds on horseback, in school
houses, in towns and in cities; wher-
ever he found hungry soul he preached
the blessed Gospel to it.
1t was Uncle JOS desire to live until
the Tennessee injunction case was de-
cided by the Supreme Court, and when
it came he reioiced and said: Thank
God Thank Cod" In his death the
church has suffered an irreparable loss.
Uncle JOS father was a minister in our
church, his grandfather was preacher,
and he leaves a son that is one of the
foremost preachers in our church, also
grandson that is a licentiate in the
Obion Presbytery, one who has every
mark Of his grandfather. We thank
God for these boys. l preached his

orgies to Handel's Messiah at whose
elimination, in i know that my Re
deemer liyeth," whole audiences have
been known to rise in kind of spiritual
exaltation. To the tom-tom the civil
lied soul responds in loathing, if at all,
but with the oratorio it is in pleasurable
accord. 1t is all matter OF cultivation.
As yet we are far behind other public
schools of the same standing in that we
have not introduced sight reading and
part singing. 1t is apparent that the
team work. of the chorus as well as
in athletics is beneficial and interesting
to the child. For his natural selfish
individualism it substitutes concerted
action where each unit makes for har-
money or discord If for no other rea-
son, the child's love of appreciation
would stimulate to considerable effort
rather than be held responsible for fail
ure.
Sight reading rendering the pupil in
dependent of a musical instrument,
except perhaps tuning fork, makes
his knowledge available for entertain,
ing himself or his family at any time.
A good paraphrase of 'Show me your
companions and I'll tell you what you
are is: "Show me how you spend your
leisure and I'll tell you what you are. "
And Just at this time when an aroused
public sentiment, an awakened public
has eliminated other objec-
tionable amusements, it is peculiarly
fitting that the greatest educational
force the world has ever known-the
American free school - should thus
popularize the great recreative art of
music. Furthermore, as the appetite
grows on what it feeds, y it should be
good music. There is no reason why
the works of the best composers should
not be as popular as rag-time, and they
would be if people could be induced to
make their acquaintance.
The mother of Thomas Wentworth
on being demonstrated with
Tor allowing other than sacred music to
De played in her home on Sunday, re-
olied; My friend, l go even further
han you. | allow only sacred music
n my house at ANY time, for in my
opinion all GOOD music is sacred. !"
What a fine thing it would be if we
could introduce part-singing into all the
county schools, use uniform musical
textbooks and be able at any time to
BRING together our public schoolboys
md girls in one great child chorus.
Would it not be inspiring? Is it prac-
,icable for our school board to have the
