MINER RECEIVES
COPIES OF EARLY
COUNTY JURNALS
tFrOn wedne.day,. Daily Mtner.l


J. ]. Jerome, one of the old settlers
of Mohave county, has presented the
Daily Miner with a number of papers
of the late seventies and early eigh-
ties. Several of these are issues of
the Wallapai Enterprise, published in
Mineral Park in 1876. That paper
was afterward removed to Prescott,
where for some time it was issued as
the Arizona Enterprise, later being
merged into the Arizona Journal, now
published under the name of the Jour
nal-Miner.
Among the many items appearing
in the Enterprise of date of Septem-
Der %, 1876, are the following:
A trip to visit the mines in the
vicinity of Stockton Hill and Cerbat,
which we contemplated last week,
proved a failure. We didn't get
around, but have been putting in the
last few days in pulling Spanish bay
onets and all kinds of stickers from
the tender flesh of our unfortunate
companion, Adam Simonds, who is so
full of them that he is only comfort
able when standing on his head
adam Simonds is now living at
Thumb Butte, in the Union Pass sec
tion, where he is interested in mining
property.-Ed. Miner.)
H. S. Thompson Ia brother of ]. w.
Thompson of KiRgman), who returned
from a trip to Hardyville few days
ago, reports the death and cremation
of the mother of Macadow, a noted
captain of the Mohave Indians. The
wake" was kept up for several days,
during which time IA fine horses, the
property of the relatives of the de-
ceased, were burned. 1t is the Gus
tom of the tribe to burn all the effects
of the relatives of the deceased at the
time of death. In this instance a large
amount of property was consumed, as
the Macadow family for some years
past had been unusually healthy, and
consequently accumulated considerable
wealth. Besides the IA horses men
toned several tons of mescal, large
quantity of seeds, a considerable sum
in silver coin, and all the provisions
and clothing of the relatives was con-
sumed. Even the clothing they were
wearing when they commenced their
march around the funeral pyre helped
to feed the flames, and the mourners
to their homes as naked as
when they came into the world.

Clever COMEDIES
TO Be seen HERE
Latest Series of HumOr Films
Will Be Shown at the
Empress Theater.

Probably never before in the last 80
Years have the people of the United
states felt less like laughing than at
the present time. AS each new day
dawns we realize more and more the
significance of the great struggle into
which we have been drawn and the
sorrow which 1t is going to bring to us
is already being felt.
Laughter, if it can be provoked at
this time, is one of the best toncs for
the American public. Probably it is
what the management of the Empress
theater had in view when they booked
a series of the Sunshine Comedies"
for the coming three months.
These comedies have been produced
after the moving picture producers
came to the conclusion that the class
of film comedy which is being, shown
today is far inferior to the level which
they could reach If more attention was
given to the arrangement of this angle
of moving pictures.
The first of the series which will be
shown in Missoula will be seen De-
ccmber % and 20. when Roaring
Lions and Wedding Bells is presented
Unlike most comedies that have been
formerly produced this feature was
produced with utmost care and tech
meal supervision which marks It as
q masterpiece among the comedies of
the moving picture world
The picture has some real lions do
ing some clever stunts. While max
ing the picture there were moments
when the actors and actresses were in
danger of losing their lives. but the
film was finally made without anyone
being hurt, although tho lions We're
badly bruised because they were not
familiar with tho slap dash methods of
modern comedy making

POPULAR FARCE
here WEDNESDAY
Max Figman Plays Lead in
Amusing Comedy. "Noth-
ing but the Truth"
CREATES MANY LAUGHS
Production Met With Success
During Tour Of All the
Eastern Cities.

Nothing but the Truth" the farce
comedy written by James Montgomery
from the novel of the same name and
starring Max Figman, the popular New
York comedian. will be shown at the
Missoula theater Wednesday night.
The attraction comes with the reru-
tation of being the best comedy that
has toured the west this season.
Max Figman's last appearance in the
west was made several years ago when
he appeared in 1.-The Man on the Box"
Those who saw the play at that time
will remember that the star kept the
laughter.
Nothing but the Truth" was de-
cfded success last season in New York
The kind of humor that it gives is of a
wholesome flavor. The plot is suffi-
ciently defined to hold interest and
serious enough at times to make the
hnmor more appreciated when it APP
pears.
1t Is a play built upon a simple idea
of its hero speaking nothing but the
absolute truth for stated period He
bets friend $4,000 that he can do it.
and boldly tackles truth to win the
money. For a very short time the
task is placidly easy but Truth routs
out Old Man Trouble and then things
begin to happen. Trouble doesn't seem
very large and aggressive when he first
pokes his nose into the noble resolve
OF our hero. but he grows rapidly and
soon we see our dealer in truth dis
rupting the domestic relations of his
partner. In fact Trouble works over
time, and regulations that have been
unblemished are smirched. Situations
that are absurd and complications az
most knotted pile up, all credited to
Truth, and the result of the wager to
foster and cherish that great virtue
from the lips of the man who has
espoused the cause of truth to win a
wager.

PORTRAYS MISERY
OF CONVICT LIFE
"The Homer System biggest
Human Story Ever Told
in Photoplay.
MANY TENSE MOMENTS
Reveals Horror of the State
Prisons Existing at
Present Time.
MANY TENSE MOMENTS

No picture attempting To show some
of the conditions in our country at
the present time has ever had such
popularity as "The Honor system"
which opens today AT the Empress the
ater for a three day run. The film is
in nine reels and is said to be enc
of the greatest human stories ever
told in moving pictures.
AS one Of the greatest film produc-
tons ever made. the play has mad
more to do with prison investigation
and the establishing OF honor systems
than any other of it's Kind in the his
tory Of the motion picture world.
The play shows scenes actually taken
in some of the greatest prisons in the
United States. Every effort was put
forth by the producers to make the
story real in every way and the result
is wonderful reproduction of prison
life as it is lived 10y the convicts.
Just how the convicts were made
the victims of political intrigue and
graft is vividly portrayed by Il cast
of specially selected actors. The com
pany in choosing the cast spared no
expense to get the pest actors aad
actresses Tor each part Win TIE ie-
suit that every detail of the play is
carefully worked out true to life.
Some Of the scenes in the play show
the treatment accorded the prisoners by
brutal guards. Men are horribly beat
en- and viciously tortured in solitary
and these scenes have
been nodded from actual experiences of
men who have served their time be
hind prison walls.
Then the story brings out the effect
the honor system has upon the crimi-
nal. How men of strong character and
honest purposes are made out of the
criminal wrecks that have been brought
into the prisons, There is a strong
appeal made for human treatment of
he conviCts.
Through the whole play an excellent
plot containing a love story is shown.
The picture holds closely To the plot
while showing conditions IN some peni
,entiaries.
The action is rapid and stirring and
one is carried along with the story un-
I'll il seems that you are actually see
ng the story in real life.
