A MARKED CONFESSION

Wichita, Kan, Nov. 9-Be-
cause he was convinced at a reviv.
al meeting that it was wrong to
use tobacco, and decided that if it
was wrong to use the weed it must
be wrong to sell it, S. N. Bees a
Murdoch avenue merchant, today
made a bonfire of his cigars and
tobacco.
People who noticed strong odor
of burning tobacco early this morn
ing traced the smell to the yard
back of Mr.. Bees store where they
watched him piling boxes Of cigars
on the flames. Occasionally he
would cast in cask of chewing to-
bacco or a carton of smoking to-
bacco. When nothing remained
but ashes Mr.. Bees remarked:
"Well, I've won that battle with
the devil"
Then he returned to his store.
The crowd followed him and a
prayer service was held.

HONEYMOON in CAVE.

Parkersburg, w. Va Sampson
Tillotson loved pretty Mary Lively.
They were sweethearts ever since
they could remember. Stern par
ents frowned on childish love, but
both were determined.
About ten days ago they disap-
peared from their homes in the
northern part of Mason county, and
now the explanation of their disap-
penrance is Forthcoming. The cou'
pie were married by justice OF the
peace, and the bridegroom had car
ried his girl bride to a cave, which
they costly fitted out, the young
husband supporting his wife by
hunting rabbits. Finally the cave
dwelling became uncomfortable ev'
en- for the young lovers, and they
returned to his parents.

Another Railroad.

Will Eshom, who was in Kingman this week from his ranch below Yucca reports the survey of line of railroad from Kingman south to intersection with the Arizona & California railroad near Parker. This line is to pass close to the foothills of the west side of Wallapai mountain and taking easy gradients to and across Bill Williams Fork, near Planet. The building of this road would open up splendid mineral section, giving to the west side Of Wallapai mountain an easy and accessible outlet for its ores. It would run close to the McCracken mines and bring the San Francisco and other Cedar properties within a few miles of railroad transportation, necessity of all these mines. It is to be hoped that this line of road will be built in the near future.

Gold Road Celebrated.

Many people went out to Goldroad last week Friday to take part in the celebration of the Fourth of July fes- tivities Saturday and Sunday. Those returning were interviewed by the MINER editor and learned that they had the time of their lives. Every thing was as free as the air, and every thing was good. The people of the big gold camp vied with each other in making their guests comfortable and happy, and succeeded. Van Martens juvenile band made the music for the occasion and pleased everybody. From break of day until to late to mention, there was something doing every moment of the time.
 Tue drilling match, double-handed, was won by Andy Gillick and Ernest Goddard, with depth of 40 IS inches, Andy Gilliardi and Ulrich Grill being second with 37 IS inches. There were several other small c"ntests, but none of the interest that attached to the main event. Horseracing, footracing, baseball and other sports filled up the program of the two days.
 The people of Goldroad know how to make fun for the people and the con- mittee is to be congratulated on the excellent program turned out.
