The New Impulse

There would appear to be a veritable wave of progress in the territory as a general proposition and in Cochise county in particular.
 One of the most strange phases in human existence, Is the fact that treasure fields may lie unnoticed for years, and be run over every day by experienced men, and all at once they become famous and their smerits prove perman- ent.
 It would almost appear that 1t was due to design in the hands of Providence, to re- serve natures resources in order that they might be equitably distributed among the generations of the earth.
 Now. that the population is expanding and We are on the threshold of statehood when thousands of people and mill lions of capital will come rushing in from the East, the mighty fields, hidden beneath the dust of neglect and ob- scurity. are laid bare, and Tombstone Twill receive her full share of benefit from the result.

Pioneer Home
 For Arizona

In a recent issue of tine Douglas International-Am meri. can, there appeared what We consider a com lnendable and a noble stand in support .oi the movement for a Pioneer Home for Arizona.
 The matter was brought before the legislature at one dime, but in the wrangle and Jangle over appropriations and a dozen different selfish ends, 1t was side-tracked.
 The revIew of the matter by the International. American is calculated to remind the Arizona statesman that rthis matter is not to be ignored, that they will again find it necessary to face it. and that every member who votes to bury 1t will be put on record in the breast of every pioneer and every good citizen who respects the brOken-down pioneer.
 The legislature, after Col. Posten had spent a neat for tune in and for Arizona, and practically devoted..his life to her, voted him the little pen sion of S25 per month for his maintenance.
 That Twas better t h n nothing. Now there are many others who have labored hard for the magnifi-

The Terrible
 Earthquake Calamity

The terrible cttastrophy which has bef,llen southern Italy and esnecially the Island of Sicily Is 90 stupendouz In its magnitude, so completely aeyas- tating m its nature, SD terribly d .- ,tructIye of human life, that mankind gazes on with fear, and ave and trembling. History records not its equal. Sicily, the Pearl of the Medi.- terrisn, lies devastated, her ciIies in ruins, her palaces and temples leyeIed to the ground, her dead piling the ground until they can scarce be num- bered. Well may she cry in the in tense sorrow of her heart, "Woe is me-"
 The bells that greet the joyous Christmas tide had scarcely ceased to ring, the spirit of love and charity filled every heart, peace and security reign supreme. Suddenly elemental forces, long chaiing at restraint, break their bonds. the earth groans and trembles. the mountains reel, the sea raises its hoary head and projects its tidal wave and chaos rules. No edi- flee built by human hanGs can with stand their onset. Onsard they sweep with tremendous speed and terrific force, and over the land where but an hour ago reigned peace and hap piness and joy, now float the grim specters of devastation. d .ath and despair,
 The disaster is too stupendous to be grasped in it's to;ality. The hu- man mind is stunned by it.
 Yesterday the bells were ringing
 Joyous hearts were praises singing;
 Notaries before the shrine
 Bless the day of bi.th divine. Silent we walk with measured tread, Through the ruined city where lie the
 dead; Kneel at the crumbled shrine for re- Praying Father in Heaeen. grant them
 peace,
 In the midst of life we walk with death. God help us.

curtailment Of working forces necessary.
 It is wise provision O! nature that mankind as a whole is strongly endowed with the bouyant element o' hope; and it is natural that this invigorating principle should assert itself strongest just at the time, when mother earth having completed her annual round starts in her journey on the new cycle. of the coming year
 The trial balance of the past year has been drawn; the books are closed; its cares, its worries. it's disappointments and defeats lie behind Us, and with renewed vigor We turn to the future, rich with its hopes and promises of ultimate sue cess.
 And so at the passing of the year, Tombstone, Dear Old Tombstone, takes on new heart and courage and turns her eyes to where is breaking the dawn of a greater pros perity than she ever enio yed before. Proud queen of the richest county in Arizona, the wealth of her own mines sur pass that of any other camp, and although the gallant men who spending talent, time and fortune with lavish hand to bring the old camp up to its former stage of productive ness, have in the past year especially been beset by vexa- tious delays and obstacles al most unsurmountable, they never faltered in their deter imitation nor wearied in their labors and the assurance is almost positive that before 1909 shall have spun its circle Tombstone will be hailed as il once was, the greatest mining camp of the West.
 Thus leaving behind as the cares and disappointments of 1908, let Us greet 1909 with hope and courage, determined effort accuated by high em- prise.

The Journey
 Through Life

The following found on. s Christmas card issued by the En2oria Kan I Gazette sums up mans life pretty ac- curately. It is from the pen of Walt Mason. It deserves thoughtful De- rusual:
 "A little work, little sweating. a few b-ief, flying years.a a little iov. s little fretting, some smiles and then some tears; little resting in the shadow, struggle to the height, a futile search for Fl Dorado, and then we say good night. Some moiling in the strife and clangor, some years of doubt and debt, some words we spoke in foolish anger, that we would ian forget; some cheery words we, sald unthinking, that made sad heart light; the banquet, with it's feast andi drinkIng-and then we gay good night Some questioning of creeds and tbeo- ries, and judgment of the dead, while God, who never sleeps or wearies, is watching overhead some little laugh ing and some signing. some sorrow, some delight; little music for the dying, and then We say good night"

The Old Year
 and the New

Rapidly the old year is drawing to its close and in a few more hours 1908 will have passed into history; but time pauses not in its flight and with the same stroke that marks the parting of the old, the new year is ushered in.
 Perhaps, 1908 was not all it could have been-no year ever quite came up to the ex- pectations of selfish man, and with the egotism which char acterizes human nature he is apt to lay the blame on con- ditions and things rather than attribute his failures to his own neglects. 1. and short- comings, where they more properly belong.
 Although the volume of business done in the country and especially in the South- west, compared with 1907, showed a considerable de- crease. this was due partly to the panic of that year. It can be stated that what new enterprises were undertaken in Arizona were planned with greater forethougl.t and based on safer financial lines Be sides none of the great mining or irrigation works in progress of development which pos sessed the elements of ulti- mate success were suspended: but development work was carried on unintermittentiy, although in some instances a wise business policy made the
