DEATH OF COL. RANDOLPH

The death of Col. Epes Randolph, president of the Southern Pacific of Arizona, which occurred at his home in Tucson last Monday night, is dis tinct loss to the state. When he came into the life of the big railroad that company was the best hated organiza- tion in the United States and his gen. ial personality had much to do with the change in public opinion regarding the management of the road and the intentions of the men at the head of its affairs. In the public life of the state he was a consistent booster for progress and his conduct of the road in this state did much to develop the country contiguous to its lines. His' death resulted from tuberculosis from which dread disease he had long been a sufferer.

LUCKY SENTENCE SAVED HIM
Good Story of How Fate lntervened to Preserve Beau BrummeIl to
 History's Pages.

The old superstition about the lucky charm of a crooked sixpence arose early in the Eighteenth century, and its author was none other than Beau Brummel, the most famous of the worlds dandies, Brummel, although the bosom friend of the prince of Wales, came from common enough stock, his grandfather having been valet. But he saved, as did Brum- mells father, and Brummell had some $150,0O0 to serve him. He became great gambler and good loser, often stalking thousands of pounds. One night he played at Walters club, and when he rose from the table he was a pauper. Not only that, but heavily in debt.
 He wandered out into the London streets, with head downcast; and as he strolled along he picked up crooked sixpence. In whimsical mo- ment he returned to the club and matched 1t with a chance friend. He won, matched again and again, and won each time. The game changed to shilling matches, and then to gold pieces, and Brummel at the end of a few minutes found himself with two or three pounds. He went to the gaming table. sat down. and when dawn came and the game closed he had won over 12,OOO pounds, or about $60,0O0. The crooked sixpence he car ried with him for years, and shortly after he lost 1t his bad luck arose again, and he once more became a pauper.

HEAVIEST RAINS IN
 HISTORY OF STATE

The past week has proven to be one of the wettest since the state went dry, every section of the country get ting more than it's usual wetting down. In parts of the county the rainfall has been of the torrential variety, and as a consequence many of the roads have felt the effect of the floods that have come down from the mountains in torrents. The road to the Big Sandy had several wash outs, some of them quite important, while over on the new Oatman-Topoc'1 road deep fills have been heavily en- croached upon. These washed out parts are being rapidly repaired. and are now useable.
 The aftermath of the rains will be better roads, and what is of greater importance, the. ranges have had a good soaking and are showing the greenery of the meadow everywhere. Not in many years has so.much water fallen over Arizona as during the past month ,and not in many years was the need of it so great. Like the old Nevadan, we can say, "The Lord Knows His Business.

Fidelity Marked Teleurapher.

One striking example of the early spirit of endurance under great stress of which the telegrapherN of the old school was capable was given by John Carnahan, then young man in his thirties, at the time of the Custer massacre. He was operator and news paper correspondent at Bismarck, which was the nearest telegraph of- flee to the scene of Clusters last fight, 300 miles west. Attending his regular duties, and gathering here and there from the incoming scouts and plains stragglers the thrilling story of Custer to send to the anxiously Waiting world he worked 40 hours without rest, and for several days and nights he only caught few winks of sleep, yet all the newspaper reading world were eagerly grasping for the thousands of words of story he was gathering. They never knew how one man was work ing to satisfy them.

OATNAN UNITED FIND ,
 AWAKENS INTEREST

That there is something doing in Oatman United is evidenced by the interest the larger operators of the district are taking in the property. Mining men from the surrounding properties visit the mine daily and are keeping a close tab on the trend of events. The drift that is being carried along the vein is said to be still in high grade ore and it is also understood that the vein width is greater in the breast than where first encountered in the crosscut.
 The development of a producer in the Oatman United is one of the most important events in the history of that big gold camp, as it clearly shows that there are other mines outside the zone of the Mother Lode enrich ment. This development is taking place on the 600 level of the property, and the vein, where entered, owing to its situation, is 900 feet below the apex, giving immense backs of virgin territory. No more important news has ever come out of Oatman than this strike brings, and the investing public will welcome every morsel that can be obtained of the progress on the vein. > .

RANKED AS MARVEL OF ART
MiehelangeIo's Superb Decorations In the Sistlne Chapel Sufficed to
 Give Hlm Eternal Fame.

Michelangelo's decoration of the vault of the Sistine chapel was hailed as the greatest piece of work ever done by painters hand. It was task of colossal proportions, the cell ing alone measuring 132 feet by A feet. The painter had to do much work lying flat on his back on scaf- fold. For some time afterward he was unable to read except when in that position.
 Michelangelo arranged the vast space as though it had been roofless, framing it with architecture in per spective delusion and filling the open spaces with paintings. Just above the windows are the figures of the ances- try of Christ in attitudes of eager waiting; above them 12 gigantic fig ures of prophets and sibyls; in the corners, four representations from the history of Israel. In the center of the vault the stories of the Creation of the World" the Fall of Man." and the 'Deluge" are told in nine pictures. Among the central pictures is the Creation of Adam" Adam is depicted just on the point of rising, just as Gods touch sends the first thrill of life through his veins. Of the proph- cts, Jeremiah is the image of deep thought, and Zachariah type of men, tai absorption.

STOLE MONEY, GRIP
 CAUGHT AT BARSTOW

That Sheriff, Mahoney and his dep uties are making it unhealthy for criminals is evidenced in the quick ar rest of a fellow who robbed the car of a tourist in one of the local garages on the night of the 24th. MT. Seavy, a tourist from the coast, pulled into the garage on the morning of the 24th and sometime during the night his car was rifled and a grip containing $450 in travellers checks and $75 worth of clothing was stolen. When he discovered his loss he reported the matter to the sheriff's office and the news of the theft was sent to the police officers up and down the line. This morning the thief was arrested at Barstow with the goods, and deputy sheriff c. A. linus will leave on this afternoons train to bring him back. Seavy, who was on his way to Pres colt sanitarium for tubercular treat ment, was reached at Seligman and will return to attend the hearing of the case.

UNCLE SAM COINS FARTHINGS

Most persons do not know that Uncle Sam coins farthings, but he does, and millions of them. They rep resent half a cent. Oddly enough, while made of exactly the same ma terial as the bronze cent-95 per cent copper and per cent tin and zinc they are much larger than the 1-cent piece. The latter weighs forty-eight grains, the farthing eighty grains. All the farthings, however, are made for circulation, not in this country, where they are not acceptable as money, but in the Philippines. They are called "centavos," and the reason they are of a bigger size than the 1-cent piece is to'be found in the fact that the Filipinos are accustomed to good sized coppers and like them bet ter.-Christian Science Monitor

Has Nasal Musicians.

Hawaiian ukeleles have become one of the most popular musical instru- ments in the United States, but it is doubtful If Americans would take so kindly to another instrument, once used throughout the Hawaiian group. The nose flute" Is referred to. At the present time there are few of these to be found in Hawaii, save in the mu- seums and collections which belong to old residents, but occasionally an old native can be located who still blows dulcet nasal strains. The nose flute is small whistlelike af- fair, which the old-time natives used in connection with the gourds which furnished music for the hulas of his time. l. was blown through with one nostril, the other being held with @ finger, which closed or opened 1t for the passage of air to vary the volume of the notes.

NEW EQUIPMENT
 UNITED AMERICAN

The big electric holster for the Unit ed American was sent out to the mine few days ago and will be installed at once. By the middle of next week it will be in commission and the work of driving to the 1000 level will be under way. Other important machin- cry to supplement the big hoist was also taken to the mine, the plant being supplied by the Thompson-Dudley company of Kingman.
 The development of an ore body on the 800 and 700 levels \of the United American and the fact that the Tom Reed has developed ore at lower lev el would indicate that there are big ore possibilities in this property. Every effort will be made to carry the shaft to the 1000 level in record time.

Milky Way Legends.

Fables regarding this group of stars appear in the literature of almost every nation. The Chinese and Jap anese regard it as a stream, with sill very fishes sporting in the waves. The American Indians and the African Bushmen associate it with lights to guide the path of wandering spirits to the happy hunting grounds. A Greek legend has it that when Phae- ton was driving the chariot of the sun, the horses took fright at the spectacle of the monsters of the zodiac. They bolted from their road, set the heav- ems on fire and came near burning up the earth. The scOrched track of their runaway was marked by the milky way.

Age-Old Philosophy

Cunningham Graham, the famous traveller, said one day at the Knicker- booker club: , q am bachelor, and I find that even among the most backward and savage peple bachelorhood is looked on as a sign of wisdom.
 "Once in Tartary a chieftain asked me if I had a wife.
 "No, axalted one,' I answered. I am a bachelor
 "The chieftain gave an approving nod. Then he said thoughtfully:
 "'As our Tartar proverb has it: While the wise man is thinking about getting married the fool has his sixth daughter born to him. '"-Los Angeles Times.

"HEAD BUCKET" NOW RELIC
Passing of the FeudaI System Among the Japanese.

One of the most grim articles of household furniture known to man is the kubioke, or head bucket of the Japanese of the old days. The bucket was a part of the furnishings of the samurai, or fighting man in court cir cles, and was kept by him in a high, narrow closet with sliding doors close to an alcove, considered the place of honor of samurai's home. When the head of the house offended his lord there was no bother of trial or an arrest. Instead there came a very po- lite note from the court, which stated the lord was sure that the samurai would return the noble honor of his family. The messenger took back a note as polite as the one brought, in which the writer thanked his lord for his honorable generosity.
 He then shaved, bathed, donned a white robe, and committed hari-kari by falling on his sword. His head was taken off and placed in the kubioke, wrapped in white paper, and nap kin bearing his crest was placed over 1t. A messenger then took the bucket to the court. where the head was ex- hibited and identified and then re- turned to the family with polite note of regret.
 The head-bucket now is merely a decorative bit as little used as the spinning wheel of our own parlors.

"Snow- Burnt" Rails Dangerous.

A curious cause of railway accidents Is brought out in a United States interstate commerce commission re- port on the derailment of passenger train. The derailment was caused by the breaking of opposite rails which had been "snow-burnt" this condition apparently resulting from the friction of an engines wheels slipping on ac- count of being stalled in the snow. The report states that "the means of distinguishing between safe and un- safe rails of this type unfortunately has not been made known as yet. These "snow-burnt" rails are somewhat common.

Movies the Biooest Industry.

The motion picture business now tops the list of California industries. according to booklet just published by a Los Angeles bank. With more than $15O,OOO,0OO invested this indus try is nearly twice the size of its near est competitor, oil, with $S7, ,0O0, 900.
 Expenditures in California last year by the motion picture industry were more than $12O.O0O, 900, and were con- fined almost exclusively to Los An geles and vicinity. San Francisco has attracted little attention in this line as yet, though one concern is now pre- pairing to locate at San Mateo.
