President Epes Randolph. of the Arizona Eastern lines, arrived here late yesterday afternoon and spent last night in the city. MT Randolph was assked if there was any special significance in his visit but replied that there was not; he was merely making one of his occasional inspec- ton trips over the lines.
 About the most interesting matter President Randolph might be expect ed 10 have inside advices concerning at this time. is the Box Canyon con- troversy. It was announced by an afternoon paper yesterday that tha, matter has been practically settled anu that the decision of the secrc- tary of the interior would be adverse tc the railroad. rumor to that ef- feet was current on the street last night from sources that were not di- vulged though the statement was made emphatic as being true. Never theless nothing to that effect came in the dispatches from Washington.
 President Randolph was asked if he could cast any light on the situ atiOn but dened emphatically any knowledge of q conclusion having been reached. He said he felt sure the attorneys for the railroad in

B|G COPPER STRIKE
 IN COPPER BASIN
Phelps Dodge Co. Reported to Have Found What IL Was Look
 ing For.

Continued reports come from Pres colt and vicinity that some scnsa- tional strikes Of ore have been mad. in the Copper Basin country between Prescott and Skull Valley recently
 The Phelps Dodge company owns properties in that section that have been under development for long time and it is stated that fine ore bodies have been found therein. It was learned yesterday through Pres colt advices that two private cars peopled with representatives of the Phelps Dodge interests would arrive at Copper Basin today, or as near it as they could go by rail, which is

 An attempt was made to verify the story but nothing could be learned at either railroad office here. If the gentlemen come it will probably be from the north. or there is a mixup as to date for no arrangements had been made here last night to handle the cars.
 That there have been some exciting ore discoveries however has been d matter of common talk in those parts for a week or SC and Sunday night these stories were verified by Dick McNary who came down from Copper Basin. He is a mining partner of the proprietor of the Star lodging house in this city and is well known by many PhoeriX people. McEary is operating ten stamp mill in Copper Basin on a gold property and it is not displeasirg to know that on this trip he had a nice clcap-up in his grip sack. thank you. and altogether is of the opinion that the mining business is not so bad when it pans out like it does in Copper Basin.

| In most Christian countries the Joy
OF Eastertide is shown in music and
flowers. Every church makes special
preparation for the great day. but
probably nowhere in the world is such
music heard as in st. Peters, in Rome.
of which Mrs. Humphry Ward has Civ
en- us SO impressive description in
| Eleanor.
Besides the fower-banked churches
the newer custom of marking Easter
tide with flowers In the window of
each house is one of much beauty and
symbolism. When In palace and tene-
ment alike there is a common bond of
commemorative Easter flowers to
greet the passer-by, the classes cannot
be SO far apart as the pessimist
thinks.
In Catholic countries the Joy OF Eas
I ter is less impressive than the solemn
observances of Good Friday. The
churches are thronged with reverent
worshipers. the procession commemo-
rative of the Crucifixion. the burning
of Judas in efiigy. SO common prac-
tice In Portugal, Greece, Mexico and
South American countries, all bear
witness that despite scoffers the story
of The Cross with the joyous Resur-
rection is not deemed a myth.
1t is said that Portuguese sailors in
whatever port they may be on Good
Friday at sundown commit Judas to
the waves as the sailors sing the An
gelus. And there are those who say
Christianity is passing.
Less religious in its symbolism Is
the universal Easter-egg, beloved of
| children.
Young America with his Easter bas-
/ ket or Easter hunt this morning. does
not think that the Parsee children
have eggs distributed to them at their
spring festival; that the small Hun
garians sprinkle their girl friends with
rosewater and in return receive gifts
of eggs; that French children in codn-
! try districts will today make a round
of visits begging for red eggs; while
the little Russians will. for every gift
of red egg, set free Gagged canary.
The Easter bunny is another GUS
tom borrowed from Pagan times. as
the hare was associated with the moon
and new life.
1t may be from the firm belief of
small Germans that If they are very
good the white hare will steal into the
house on Easter Eve and hide beauti-
full colored eggs. that young Americans
feel their Easter celebration is incom-
plete without their bunnies. toy or real,
candied or painted
A curious, but less common belief is
that the sun dances with Joy as it
rises on the day of Resurrection. Our
forefathers utilizing pagan worship OF
the sun taught that in 1t was seen
an emblem of the Sun of Righteous
ness risen on Eastern morn. There
are certain parts of Europe. where to-
day the people rise early to climb the
hill to watch for this phenomenon.
However, it may be kept. whether
with heartfelt worship or perfunctory
following of long custom. this Easter
morning finds the world united in cele-
bration of that great day that brought
ioy and hope to small band OF men
and women, weeping for lost leader
whom they called The Christ-until
their faith was tested by the dire trag-
edy of the Cross.
The JOY of that long gone Easter
morn has grown with the ages. until
its radiance is felt the world over.
even by those who do not call them
selves believers in the Risen Lord"
