It will give you an education along the lines of human nature and char acter that you never suspected could be crowded into the short period of six weeks. Above all, it is a crucial test of your own character Energy and perseverance are bound to be re- warded. Sticktoitiveness is the watch word. Optimism is a valuable asset.

 And whether you come in first or last, finish the contest with the in ner knowledge that you ran a good race-that you did the best you could. SOUND BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
 This contest is not a something-for- nothing scheme. In fact, it is not scheme at all. Neither is it a chari- table undertaking on the part of the Miner. It is business proposition pure and simple.
 The object is to advertise this news paper and increase its circulation-to put copy each week in every house. hold in the territory it serves. For this we are willing to reward our contestants very literally indeed, in stead of employing outside solicitors at fancy sailo.-:i;es>-.o accomplish the same purpose. In other words, WE ARE TRADING AT HOME, and we are asking our people to. BUY A HOME COMMODITY.
 People ask, Will it pay? Yes, it will pay. Not in dollars and cents, perhaps, but there are other dividends that newspapers want that are not expressed by the dollar mark. Dur ing the campaign hosts of new sub scribers will be added to our lists, and the fair, square, progressive poli- cy of the Miner will be advertised very thoroughly. There will be in tense satisfaction in that. Besides, the general good feeling engendered will be almost inestimable.
 NOT TOO LATE TO ENTER
 It is by no me too late to enter the Miners big Subscription Cam paign. It is not yet week old, and the story has just been commenced. As the chapters unfold there will be many surprising episodes related.

KATHERINE CITY'S
 FIRST DANCE
(Continued From Front Pape)

Continued From Front Page) the city of Katherine. The dances were:
 Grand March-led by Mrs. S. Breth- our and MT. E. A. Shaw, who is head man in the lot selling campaign of the city of Katherine.
 Gold Chain -Step-for the Gold Chain Mine.
 Extension Two-Sterb-for the Kath- crime Extension Mine
 Sheep Trail Fox-Trot-for the Sheep Trail Mine. /
 Brethour Side-Step-Mr. Brethour being a leading citizen of Katherine, and he is some side-stepper, in fact he can step most any way.
 Roadside Glide-named for the Roadside Mine.
 Mohawk "Wiggle"-for the Kath- crime Mohawk Mine.
 Arabian "Shimmy"-for the Arab i ian Mine.
 Shaw "Moonshine" Waltz.
 Sutro Quadrille-named for Charles Sutro, President of the New Comstock Mining Company, controlling the Katherine, Sheep Trail and Pyramid Mines.
 And here is what one of the en- thusiastic guests had to say of Kath- erine: Any one who says Katherine will not make a city, will have to prove it, that's all. The best location in the whole country has been select ed for Katherine and there is no ques- tion in the minds of business men and mining operators that it has a won derful future. If you don't believe it, go out there and look it over and you will change your opinion. People of this county gave an expression of their opinion in their attendance at the dance last Saturday night, and if one can judge from the number of people present, what the general opinion is, then there is no question but that it has a future"
 Katherine is growing and business there is taking on the 1ook of a real town. The streets have been graded and things-begin to look real "citified." Buildings and business es- tablishments of all kinds are being completed every day. The telephone line to Katherine was completed on Wednesday the 26th, and so far as we know, MT. Shaw has the honor of be- ing the first citizen of Kingman to talk over the line.
 When business reaches its height in Katherine, perhaps there will be a Beauty Parlor, where the gentlemen of the city may go to have their nails Ginger nails) manicured--or perhaps their drills polished-who knows! Anyway we know that Katherine IS going to be some city.

Horny couny is forced to compIv

The aged Horny senator.
The debate was decidedly the most
interesting yet indulged in by the
senate and was heard by large gal

OF the upper chamber. Senator Smith
again rcitera ed his charge OF auto
cratic cation on the part of the
state in telling the "Independent Re-
public what ii should do. He claimed
the same free rights for Horny coun-
" that thu sons Of the south fought
and died for in 1861-65, but the oppo-
siiion was too great and after a hard
figEt Uncle Jerry" was forced to bow
to majority voae against him.
Mr.. Smith was not the only free
range supporter in the debating, Se~-
ator Hubbard lending a helping hand.
The Jasper senator also charged that
the county Of Horny should have the
right 10 govern itself He gave facts
and figures that were intended to
show hat free range was the better
of the two methods.
Senator Harrelson Of Marion led the
at ack on the bill, pointing out what
he considered the many defects i'm

task on number Of statements. Mr..
Harrc.son said the Horny free range
would always mean cattle tick i'm the

pcrts believe would go = long way to-
wards solving the present dilemma
in this industry. This policy, as de-
fined by Mr.. T.. II. Lucas, vice pres
