GOD ALMIGHTY AND THE MINES

I am indebted to Mr. l.. Page, of the Castle Dome mining district, for the following tribute to mining:
 The president of large bank in Chicago was under criticism by the presidents of other banks because of his investments in a gold mine in the Rocky Mountains. He made the fol- lowing reply to his critics:
 Throughout the Rocky mountains, ages ago, God Almighty built stronger vaults in His granite banks than we have in ours. He filled His vaults with gold. He gave the prospector knowledge and insight, and guided him on his way to the door of the vaults He had built The federal gov ernment handed him a title to all therein. It is not a crime but a vir- tue to enter With drill, blast, pick and shovel the prospector has broken the combination locks and entered But for him our notes of issue would be as the stump tail currency of 1857. But for him this government would be bankrupt.
 Mines will be producing millions of gold in that future day when banks are unknown. A mine contains crop already raised, harvested and on de- posit for you to check against at your pleasure. The wealth gathered from the mines immortalized King Solomon. Mining made Great Britain the worlds commercial dictator Mining has made the United States the righest country in the world. Show me a country without mines and I will show you a country sunk in degradation and pov- erty, making towards of nations, as of individuals. Mining has transform ed more poor men into millionaires and raised them to positions of honor and trust than any other business. Mining has scored less than 35 per cent failures against 95 per cent shown in the general merchandising business in the United States With out the products of the mines yau would have neither frying-pan, a hat pin, nor a monetary circulating me dium."
 At this point the other bank presi. dent are supposed to have collapsed.

ONLY STEAM PLANT IN STATE.

Ray Hawver, the wide-awake and strictly up-to-date tailor, has just in
 stalled steam plant at his popular es- tablishment that will mark a new era in clothes cleaning in Yuma, for it will be the only steam plant of it's kind in the entire state. By construct ing this new plant MT. Hawver does away entirely with the use of electri city and gas, both of which have given very unsatisfactory service for the past year or more. He invites all his customers to call at his place of bus mess and inspect his new plant, of which he has just cause to be proud.

The regular baseball season open ed last Sunday between the four teams forming the local league. The Second Battalion boys crossed bats with the Somerton Cotton Pickers" on the latter's home grounds and walked away with the first game by a score of z to o, while the Yumaites were forced to yield the palm of victory to the Third Battalion boys by score of 21 to 2. Because the Somerton and Yuma boys lost both these games is no sign that they will continue to lose. It must be borne in mind that the sol dier boys are practicing all the time while the home talent is denied that privilege. It Is safe to predict that next Sunday the soldiers will get run for their money.

MAJOR Al. B. STOKES LEAVES
 FOR TRENTON, N. j.

It will be a universal regret among the citizens of Yuma, just as it is among the officers and men of the Fourteenth infantry, to learn that Major M B. Stokes has been relieved of the command of the Second Battal- ion and assigned to duty with the New Jersey national guards at Trenton, N. J. The order came last Saturday like clap of thunder from a clear sky, for Major Stokes was just beginning to plan to have his family join him here at Yuma. However the assignment is a most pleasant one, even though Ma jor Stokes had fallen very much in love with Yuma, frequently declaring that it was the most pleasant post, es- pecially from a climatic standpoint, that he had ever been assigned to. His assignment to Trenton, N. J., how ever, is one of the most delightful that an army officer could wish for, loca- ted as it is right in the very heart of the nation, only a few hours run from the national capital where the ge- nial majors family is now located. Ma jor Stokes is not only respected and ad mired by all who have the good fortune to know him, but he is actually loved by every man in his command, and is prime favorite among his fellow of ficers. He is a typical southern gentle man, hailing originally from South Car lima. He couldn't be other than cour- teous and affable if he wanted to. The earnest hope of the ARIZONA SEN TINEL is that he will find his new du- ties with the New Jersey national guard as pleasant as he expects.
 Lieut-Col w. K. Jones, who for the past month or more has had charge of the troops located at Ajo, has re- turned from that point with one of the companies Company E), and will at once take charge of the Second Battalion, vice Major Stokes, relieved and assigned to duty with the New Jer- sey national guard. Colonel Jones was given a cordial greeting by his fellow officers on his return.
