MINERS LIEN LAW
CWickenburg Miner)

The miners lien law is causing considerable discussion throughout this section of the country Mine owners naturally oppose it, and the laborers would, of course. uphold a law that will insure them the pay for the work that they have performed. Looking at the matter from a certain standpoiont and it takes the aspect of a very clear case Of justice that the mine should be held for the debts, for the ground must hold the said ex- pendituTe of money, which, of course, benefits the owner, therefore, it may be asked. why shouldn't the owner be responsible for the debts? Look at it from another standpoint and it changes nightly. It is a certainty that where a mine owner employs labor on his own ground he or his ground should be responsible for it's debts. But where a second party comes in and asks for working bond and option to purchase the mine own CT needs protection as well as the labcrer. With the resBonsiDility thrown entirely on the mine a lessee can do about as he pieases in the way Of burdening the property in debt. secure in the, fIfs 'sss;ssss s;ss ..::- :... s!.e ground owned by the other man can be taken for the debts contracted by him. Mine owners will not run the risk of losing their property in this manner. 4 few laws compelling men who employ labor to refrain from go- ing into debt for labor if they haven't the wherewithal is better than plao-
 Hsn losing their holdings through the reeklessness of a lease and bond hold CT who is in no danger of losing on the proposition. The laborers, wages should be assured, but tbc man wlo owns the ground should not be left helpless where he must depend en- tlrely on a mans honor or refrain from giving a bond and lease to anyone.

AWoMANyO OBSERVATIONS


man" and the poor nerye-racked business woman. But l believe it's true nevertheless.
 Why are we nervous about our work? Why de we select nervous work? Why is it necessary for us to be driven to death?
 Because we choose to.
 That's all. We just deliberately choose it.
 There is no real reason why we shouldn't let up once in a while and take a rest under Gods blue sky There is no real reason why VIC shouldn't take things easy as we go along and choose work that is pleas ant. and, more important, within the range of our capabilities. No reason except just this:
 We are afraid of missing some thing. We are afraid we would make few dollars less; attain less enyi- able heights; he considered of less importance among the paltry number of people who ever heard of us any how.
 The girl who could make S10 a week-oh, yes. girls can live respect ably and happily on si0 a week and less, regardless of David Graham Phillips and other nervous literateurs will strive with all her life to hold a position which means SIP and the increased admiration of her mates. Ambition, of course. is a good thing but is 1t honest ambition that soads a girl on to covering up her limita- tions until the hysteria of incompet- ency is the result?
 We all have the right to choose, un- doubtedly. Only when we do choose to work every minute with every nerve, simply for what it brings in material holdings, then let's not blame the wear on nerves and tenn. pers upon the world, or the times, CT anything else except our own selfish selves.

 MIR. EDWARDS ISN'T SCARED
Arizona Republican,

Mir. Edwards. the American consul lat Juarez is what may be called m optimistic little cuss With American women and children Hooking by the hundreds from the Mormon colonies into Fl Paso, destitute. fatigued with flight and fear, bringing stories Of the confiscation of the arms of the colonists and the threatened des:TuC- ton of their property amounting to many millions, with the threat cf death hanging over their fathers, hes bands brothers and sons. Mir Ed wards wires the department that the alarm is greater than the cause of it. He does not deny the stories told by the refugees but he thinks the stam- pede was unnecessary since the ac- tion of the rebels against the colon ists was nothing more than an at. tempt to provoke intervention by the United States.
 It seems to be the purpose of Mr. Edwards not to protect American citizens within his jurisdiction which We had supposed to be one Of the consular duties and the chief one. but to fool the rebels in respect Of intervention and to show to them that no matter to what extent they may go in the way of Ouuages against the persons and property of American citizens they cannot provoke this great and powerful nation to action.
 That of course, would be a disap- pointment to the rebels but in the meantime the Mormon colouists are bereft of their property, some, of their lives.
 That was a most extraordinary statement wired to the department. lt does not deny the existence of the conditions which have been described and in which alone the government had an immediate interest but deals with the causes which have produced these conditions, a matter in which our government is more remotely in terested.
 Almc-t equally surprising is the statement contained in a dispatch from Washington that the receipt Of Mir. Edwards message had put "a quietus on the alarming reports"

Don't ailow the manure to &C., cunuIate about the barns. Ma nure is the principal breeding place for flies. Flies do not travel great distances.
