Colored Churches Unite.

After a struggle for individual exist
ence, and after strife and needless
dissension, a meeting was held at the
First Baptist church last night at
which the Messiah and First Baptist
churches were united, and the two
churches will hereafter worship on
South washington street, as the First
Baptist Messiah church.
The pastors, officers and members of
the two colored churches met at the
First Baptist church last night for the
purpose of bringing about a more
friendly relations between the two
churches. The opening was suspicious
and business-like, The entire meeting
was marked by Christian decorum and
an absence of partisanship. Consider
ing the strained relations that had ex-
listed (strange to say among the two
sister churches) the procedure was good
and reflected vel-headedness.
With Mr. ]. H Fredericks, acting as
chairman, and Mrs. Nelson Ponyard as
secretary it was at first decided that
the two churches be made one, and that
the deacons of the two churches con-
stitute a committee to decide what the
new church shall be, but through the
timely and diplomatic suggestions Of
Colonel Mayo it was decided to settle
this matter at that sitting of the body,
and the name of the new church is to
be the First Baptist Messiah church
of Gary, Ind, and that the place Of
worship Of the former First Baptist
church on South Washington street.
A church meeting for further bust
ness will he held Friday night
Too much cannot be said for Mr.. VIII
liam Davis who unselishIy and I'M
| biasly started this reform and to his
| fearless Christian stand this union
! owes its birth. Nor can too much be
| said for Colonel Mayo, who upon this
! occasion, as in all other crises of the
| church and the colored people in gen
eral, have stood a friend. a helper and
a brother. Without his timely advice
I the union might have yet been a pos
sibillty and not a reality. Nor can
too much he said in behalf of the kind
wise, judicious deliberations of the
pastors and brethren of the two
| churches, for without a Willingness and
a disposition to do the right thing the
union would have been utterly impos-
| sible
After singing praise and thanks fol
the reconciliation, the meeting ad-
journed.
1t is hoped by everybody that there
shall be one strong and powerful
church for our people in Gary.

THE CALHOEN MrRY.

Whether or not the jury system is a good or bad thing in this day and age of the world is debatabIe, but the case of Patrick Calhoun forcibly illustrates what has been understood before. the need of some change in the system. For fourteen weeks the citizenship of San Francisco has been sifted in the process of getting a jury. Several thousand talesmen have been examined and of them all only eleven men have been finally accept ed and one, tentatively.
 once the jury is sworn and the trial under way, if anything should happen, resulting in a mistrial, an- other jury would necessarily be se- cured with greater difficulty and with a greater expenditure of time.
 It is now proposed to permit a thirteenth juror to sit as a precaution against the death or illness of a juror, so that after all there would be a jury of twelve as the law di- rects. though the thirteenth juror would, of course, not participate in the deliberations unless as a substi- tute
 While this is a precaution it is after all a very slender one, but it brings to fba S,rrfaca tho fac, +bo, there is a reaching out for a revision of a system which conditions have more of misfit

PHOENIX, ARIZ., APRIL F, 1909
THE BIGNEss OF LOS ANGELES


 Los Angeles, according to the city directory census, has passed the 3OO,OOO mark by a good margin and the inhabitants are looking forward to an early future when the popula- ton will number a half million.
 The last decennial census gave the city 1O2,OOO. and that it has grown tremendously since then has been apparent to all who have kept track of it. The Los Angeles today is an entirely different city from the Los Angeles of 1900.
 It is doubtful though whether the thirteenth census, to be taken next year. will confirm the count over which the citizens are rejoicing. These decennial censuses are cold -blooded affairs and not always accurate. as We of Phoenix know to our cost. They usually err on the side of smallness. They invariably do so unless the
 
 trade or other organizations which insist upon the city getting all that belongs to it.
 There is now and then a case on record, of a town which is over-enum- erated. We have in mind a certain western middle state city which was given a higher rank than it was entitled to in the census of 1900. The citizens were displeased with the original count and made a demand for a supplemental census. A special enumerator was sent out from Wash ington and he was met at the rail- road station by a delegation of citi- zens who conducted him to luxurious apartments in the principal hotel.
 Champagne flowed like water. The enumerator is said to have bathed in it. What enumerating he did was done in his apartments. He re- mained until champagne palled upon hlil anu liieH welt away armed with figures which had been prepared for him. The result was so astounding that neighboring cities swore that there was misprint in the compila- tion of the census returns, but the citizens of this enterprising town met all insinuations of this sort by point ing to a row of six figures when five.

ALVARADO MINE.
Shaft Now Down Sixty Feet and Crosscut Thirty Feet to Hanging Wall, All the Way in
 S100 Ore.

The Alvarado strike is no longer a prospect. Joe Alvarado came in from the mine yesterday morning in the Felix Mayhew automobile. He says the shaft is now down sixty feet and that from the sixty foot level they have crOsscut thirty-two feet to the hanging wall. From the grass roots to the bottom of the shaft to the hanging wall, the workings are in S100 ore. The shaft has been run in on an incline and the foot wall is still many feet away. The entire ledge is about forty feet wide and extends the full length of the claim, and possibly of two or three claims. The ore is free milling and easily worked by crushing, amalgamating and cyaniding. From every indica- tion the Alvarado claims have the making of one of the best gold pro- ducers in the southwest.
 There is literally a mountain of ore. and $100 rock runs into the millions mighty fast. The boys are pushing de- velopment work every day, working at the present time thirteen men. The The Alvarado is thirteen miles from the Thumb Butte and twenty-eight miles from Dome. The new county wagon road is completed to within two miles of the camp and is a good one and work is progressing on it every day
 The ore from the Alvarado will eith CT be hauled to the King for treat ment or a mill will be erected and the ore will be treated on the ground. MT Mayhew has been in Los Angeles the past week, and when he comes in there will be more doing at the Alvarado.- Yuma Sun.

A seventeen-year-o boy in Fl Paso the other night murdered his fourteen-year- sweetheart in the street, whereupon, the Fl Paso Times observes that a curfew law would have prevented that particular mur- der. That reminds us that there are a good many Phoenix boys and girls running at large at a time of the night when they ought to be en- closed within the family circle.
