their march over the mountain;

And it was by the faith that
these christians had in Christ
that endangered the pope's hypo
cricy, and caused him to send
out the decree of death upon
them, thosel that would not re-

fact, we can readily comprehend
that it was no wonder, that the
unexpected sound of this mighty
army struck terror to the hearts
of those persecutod christians of
the valleys And 80 we find.
that when those twenty days had
expired, they then found that
their time was lost in begging
and pleading in tones of pity, to
the pope for mercy,
For mercy could not come
from one that had no mercy.
Hence, instead Of mercy at the

impossible. For at that time

Aud to the natural man this
would be evidence that the Pope
was right. For even at this pre-

that he is right; because he has
the largest number Of members
and that he is the richest and
has the largest dominion.
And true it this would argue
on the side, of right;
then it would have been evidence
for him in those early days, as
we'll as it would be now. But
after we have weighed these ar. !

STRIKE SETTLED
 BY DEPUTY SHERIFF
(From Sundays Daily.)

Mexican laborers, who inaugurated a strike at the Puntenney Lime Works on Friday afternoon. instead of at Nelson's wood camp. as was reported, followed up their demands by threatening to use dynamite to blow up several buildings. as well as to assault the two Americans em- ployed by the company, were brought to a sudden halt in their criminal intentions when Deputy Sheriff Keeler appeared on the scene late that evening. This officer went into the ranks of the fifty strikers and after eulling the bunch, arrested two of the ringleaders, placing handcuffs on each, and rounding up ten other agitators. Five were placed on the first train to the north and later five more were shipped south, all leaving the county. Several were discharged, and thei remaining ones resumed work. It is not believed that the agitation for increased wages will be renewed.
 The trouble was preeipitated by !. T. Sheffield, general manager, be- ing away from the camp for a few days. his son being in the Mercy hos pital in this city in a critical eOndi- ton. MT. Sheffield $ brother was also here, and two shift bosses were in charge of the property, which oc- easiOned a favorable opportunity for the ringleaders to enforce an unjust demand. Deputy Keeler states that his arrival was opportune. and that there is no doubt but that valuable property would have been destroyed that night had he not been assisted by a few Americans in following the course that was adopted.

LOCATES WATER ON DRY
 FARM
(From Tuesday's DailYl

A few weeks ago C. A. French, a dryfarmer, having a quarter section, one-half mile due west from Jerome Junction, enlisted the services of pr. A. W. s. ROthermel. a German-Amer- ican geOlOgist, who has had great sue cess in locating ore bodies and water flow, to locate a well on his ranch
 After digging a four foot well to a depth of sixty-One feet, MT. French encountered considerable moisture and under the advice of ROthermel, bored two and half inch augur hole six teen feet farther in an ablique di- rection from the wall of the we'll In a very short time, the water came up to the sixty-One foot leve,. ice cold and exceedingly clear, demonstrating the existence of an underground flow there.
 The expert prognOsticated two blanket veins of water, one below the other, each about 40 feet wide exactly under the well, and stated yesterday that if French would continue his 40 foot hole 20 feet farther he will reach the first blanket proper and will have to get out the well in a hurry.
 Dr. ROtherme1 is confident. that an flow of water five miles in length and about 16O feet in width exists under the City of Prescott flowing in a nOrtherly direction. He is at present working on a map of tine city and proposes to outline thereon the exact position of this underflow.

b|G RAINS INSURE CONSTRUCTION
 OF DAM
From Tuesdays DailyI

Preceding the construction of the water storage dam in Copper Basin Wash of the Yavapai Bullion Mining Company, volunteer information of the possibility to impound a sufficient amount of water to fill the project ed reservoir, has been received by the management, until the stockhold- CTS have been placed in a dilemma whether or not to proceed, until last week, when the elements solved the question. During one of the storms in that water shed few days ago, (which embraces an area of about thirteen square miles observations were taken by Chief Engineer B. L. Frost with Edward Melter, s. C. Toe mans; and other stockholders that in- eontrOvertibly settles what is to be expected in future rainy seasons. MT. Frost made a conservative estimate of a four hour flow at the damsite, and states that at least 250,000,000 gallons of water passed by a stated point in that brief time. As esti- mated in the building this would have been five times the capacity of the reservoir. Lesser rains before and after that storm. would have filled the dam. All are astounded at what was demonstrated, and it is believed the capacity of the dam will be in creased to at least twice the size as outlined. Delay has attended the be- ginning of work in order that abso- Iute determinations might be arrived at during the summer rainy season, which are not only gratifying, but which will be absolute in settling fu- ture operations of the company to starting work and in operating their extensive placer interests on the large plans contemplated The company owns over 2,0O0 acres of ground, the greater portion of which has been tested for placer gold, which is behind the projected big water storage move ment

LOST ORE SHOOT
 IS FOUND IN RELIEF
(From Sundays Daily.)

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 22-A long search for a vein ended yesterday at the Relief mine, sixteen miles north east of Phoenix, when the faulted ore shoot was discovered in the face of a crOsscut 610 feet north of the drift from the main shaft at the 200- foot level. The ore is as rich as any ever discovered at the Relief, run ming high in free gold.
 By all the laws of geology, the vein should have been south of the drift. After running the drift some thirty feet beyond the point where the vein faulted, a erosseut was run to the south. but the vein was not where it was expected. There was nothing to do but to grope around and hunt for it, and it was found 610 feet north. How it twisted over. Superintendent Hamlin is unable to explain.
 Mir Hamlin is in Phoenix today, highly elated over his success in finding the vein. Though the search was weary one, his determination never Jagged for a moment. for he knew that it was there. He closed down the mill some time ago to do development work on the 200 and 400 levels and will not start the plant again till fall, when the work he has mapped out will be completed.
 In the search for the vein some At one place the erosscut passed through 3s feet of volcanic cement. Much of the cement looks exactly like the concrete that is used to build sidewalks. Some of the cement was hard and some had been burned until soft. Yesterday the miners passed through seven feet of soft mud and the vein was found on the other side.
 How wide the vein is where it has been rediseovered can only be guessed. It is MT. Hamlin's idea to drift west on the vein some ninety feet, then raise 200 feet to connect with the bottom of an eighty-foot shaft put down from the surface sev- eral years ago. Through this opening the mine will be better ventilated and there will be another exit for the miners in case there ever is a eave-in.
 The drift from the 400 level is 172 feet from the shaft. It will be extended until it is 40 feet from the shaft and then a raise will be made to the 300.
 Eight men are employed now at the Relief. Two shafts are working on each level. The ground is not | hard and about eighteen inches is made each shift.
 
 The Relief has been a small but | fairly steady producer for a number | of years and will be again in the producing column next fall, after the development work that is planned has been performed and the mill resumes | operations.

YAVAPAI MINER
 IS KILLED IN MONTANA
(From Sundays Daily.)

z. L. CrOthers. who with his brother Albert B. Brothers, left this county few years ago. for Montana, returned yesterday, and conveyed the sad news that early in May the latter met with an accident in mine near Billings that resulted in. his death. He was descending a shaft about 150 feet deep when one of the rungs in the ladder gave way, and he fell about thirty feet, sustaining internal injuries that proved fatal ten days later. Both were preparing to return to this county at the time and a sad feature of the accident was that the unfortunate man went below with the owner to make measurements in a drift, both brothers concluding their contract a few hours before the ac- cident occurred. MT. Brothers will leave Monday for the Hooper sec tion, in the Bradshaws, where he will look after mining interests, after which he will return to Zanesville, Ohio. for a few weeks visit with his parents. He will locate again in this county. and will develop his mines.

 OREGON
From Tuesdays Daily

The sad and shocking news was received yesterday that Bentley Piper, eldest son of MT. and Mrs. J. N. Piper, of this city, had been drowned at the Dalles, Oregon. on Sunday. but no particulars of the fate that over took this young and popular man were ascertained. The telegram was from his brother. Bruce Piper, a stu dent at Stanford University, who was spending his vacation there. Although the deceased had not been a resident of this city for nearly six years, his boyhood days were filled with so much hope, and his beautiful charae- ter was so well known, that his loss has occasioned expressions of the deepest sorrow and regret. He was industrious and his demeanOr was so pleasing and gentle that he was of exceptional character among the young men of this section.
 He was born in this city twenty five years ago, and entered Stanford university six years ago. after grad uating from the high school of this city. A year ago he finished hls studies in the above institution, and immediately entered the service of the government as an engineer in the reclamation service, having charge of important work in the section where he met his death. He was a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, and his burial took place yesterday under their auspices at The Dalles. His parents, and other relatives, have the sympathy of all in this city in their deep bereavement.
