WHtfKE TIE WILD THINGS GROW
O for the bosky gardens,
Deep in the green old woods.
Where ihe oak* have woven curtains |
To shelter their sylvan broods;
Where the pine trees murmur and
whisner
Secrets we long to know—
-0 to rest in the shadow
Where the wild thingß grow I
There by the brook’s clear mirror.
All on a summer’s day, *
The bees, the birds and the blossoms
Have it their own sweet way;
There in the tender twilight,
Barred h.v a golden gloom.
•lushed in the deepest silence,
The wood-ferns dream.
There many a grassy pathway
Leads to a fairy scene,
Where the partridge berry’s coral
Lights the dusk of the wintergreen;
Where the bells of the precious twin*
flower
In the fragrant spaces blow—
O to rest in the shadow
Where the wild things grow I
No country ever presented a
more pleasing appearrnce to the eye
than does Northern Arizona at
present. A generous growth of
verdure covers mountain and plain.
Ihe level lands look like endless
wheal fields, as the tall grass bends
to the breezes, rising and falling
like waves of the sea, while on the
mountains a mass of vines, shrubs
and undergrowth seem to contend
for the occupancy of every inch of
soil, and the very rock piles are
covered with grape laden vines and
wreathed and fes f ooned with deli
cate creepers. The weeds assume
tree-like proportions and the trav
eler over the bare and obstruction
loss mountain trail feels the need of
a hatchet to cut his way through
the serai tropical growth which
seems to grow purposely to ob
struct his path ai> ho goes forward.
Such is the effect of a rainy season
in this favored socrir»n of fertile
soii and mild temperature.—Pres
cott Courier.
The gold discoveries in tho Tae
jon mountains are worthy of the
l nvestigation of mining men.
Several experts have pronounced
the claims as possessing a merit
beyond the ordinary class of gold
prospects, and they base their con
clusions upon good grounds. The
vast extent of the croppings has
been argued as against tho value of
the mines but the bold ledges that
stand out in strong, relief through
mountain and canon, are evidence
that either a big deposit of precious
metals exist there, or else all visible
signs of ore bodies go for naught.
The problem will however, be soon
solved, as the work of development
will begin at once and the merits
of the find will be demonstrated in
a practical way.—Enterprise.

The Prospector returns thanks to
Rev. C. R. Nugent for a Bible,
which adorns our sanctum. The
thoughtfulness of the gentleman
was stimulated by the announce
ment in last night’s paper that
“Naomi” was Ruth’s sister in the
Bible story. Naomi was Ruth’s
mother in law, not her sister. The
question now arises, what on earth
suggests the idea to Airs. Cleveland
of naming her new born infant
after Ruth’s mother-in-law.—Pros
pector, And we always thought
from our indisuuct recollection of
the beautiful story, that “Naomi”
was the daughter of Boaz’ favorite
wife, Ruth. Maybe we’re a little
mixed ourself.
Arizona’s total expenditure in
the miintenance of her public
schools is over $140,000 per annum.
Where is the state whioh can show
a bettor condition from an edu
cational standpoint when claiming
admission to the Union.—Star,
The Old Dominion Will Ron.
j As foreshadowed in our last
j issue, the call for a meeting be
tween Superintendent Birry, of
the Old Dominion Copper Co., and
employees, was for the purpose of
announcing a reduction of wages,
made neccessary by th«i heavy
decline in the price of coppe* Mr.
Barry stated, in a few words, that
tne company proposed a reduction
of twenty-five cents in the wages
of men who had been receiving
$3 25, and that the pay of all those
rece-viug more than $3 50 would
be cut ten per cent. If the men
accepted the reductiou more coke
would be ordered and work con
tinued. If not, the supply of
coke on hand would be used up and
the works closed down.
It required only a few minutes
for the men to arrive at a decision t
They took the sensible view of the
situation, and announced that they
would go to work, realizing the
prostration of mining everywhere
throughout the west, and the dif
ficulty of procuring work.
Since last week there has been
a further decline in copper (to 9:40
at 9.50 for Lake) but it is not
likely to change the determination
of the Old Dominion Company, as
it is serai-offieially reported that
operations here will continue re
gardless of any fluctuations likely
to occur in the price of copper.
There is at this writing over 800-
000 pounds of coke between Wil
cox and Globe.—Silver Belt.
Many men think that newspaper
rm*u are presistent dunners. By
way of comparison, let us suppose
a farmer raises one thousand bushels
of wheat a year, and 3eils to one
thousand persons in all parts of the
country, a greater portion of them
saying: “I will hand you a dollar
in a short time.” The farmer does
not want to be small, and says
“All right.” Soon the one thous
and bushels are gone, but he has
nothing to show for it, and he then
realizes that he has fooled away his
whole crop, and its value is due
him in a- thousand little driblets,
consequently he is seriously em
barrassed in his business, because
his debtors, each owing him one
dollar, treat it as a small matter
and think it would not help much.
Continue this kind of business year
in and year out as the publisher
does, how long would he stand it ?
A mcment’s thought would con
vince anyone that a publisher has
cause for presistent dunning..—Ex.
One of the sublimest effects in
nature is occasionally seen by those
who climb the tali and isolated
peaks of the Rocky mountains iu
Colorado. The dryness of the air
and the strong heat of the after
noon sun cause a rapid evaporation
from the brooks, springs and snow
bauks on the mountain sides, and
this moisture, rising on the warmer
air, condenses as it reaches the
cooler, thinner atmosphere
about the mountain top.
The traveler, looking down, sees
clouds literally forming below him,
and growing thick ana black ever y
instant, so thatgas they reached h •-■
level they roll skyward an 1 in
huge masses of vapor ch it eclipse
the view and bury him in darkuess
Lightning occasionally leaps from
the clouds and a mountain top is a
particularly bad place to he at such
a time. The stone signal service
on Pike's Peak has been nearly
wrecked by lightning more than,

L. Salter, secretary of the Mesa
Consolidated Canal Company, which
'8 the oorap*n> repn wanted by A.
J. Chandler, was in FJomiee a
couple of days this weeks. He
came over for the purpose -to in
vestigate tbo work at the Buttes
and for other, purposes. As a re
sult of hi«« visit the force of men
who have been working at the
Buttes h«re h«en laid off. But
this docs not mean that the idea of
building a dam at that point has
be mi abandoned. This company,
like so many others, has bm*a
severely cramped by the prevailing
stringency and it has become *
necessity with them to cut down
their expenses until times becomH
easier. Besides, there was no
use of keeping a force of men to
work there now, for the reason
that it is not positively known
how far it is to bed rock. When
work is resumed proper machinery
will be put, in to determine how fur
it is to bed rock. John Westfall
has been employed to atay at the
Buttes and do work enough to bold
the location, thus showing that the
company has no intention of aban
doning the work. Mr. Salter l«ft
the impression that work was
resumed it would be with the in
tention of building the dam as soon
as possible.—Enterprise,
Iu the competition for inveat
meat of capital Arizona is in rivalry
with other states and territories
that hold out the very inducement
here advocated. Both Colorado
and New Mexico exempt canals
and storage reservoirs from tax
ation, and the exemption have been
of great value to both common
wealths. Arizona must follow in
her footsteps or see capital that
would otherwise come here, go
there for investment. This is a sub
joct that should be kept fresh irt
the public mind until the uext
legislature takes it up and gives
shape to a broad enactment cov
ering the whole proposition. The
Oasis is informed that such a bill
was enacted by. the house in the
last assembly, but failed to pass
the council. It is a misfortune
that it did not become a law.—
Oasis.
Superstition is attracting more and
more attention every day. Th«
Herald has given its readers some
useful information concerning that
new gold district hath in special
articles and regular correspondence.
This sort of information will con
tinue in the hope of stating such
facts as may be relied upon and
induce investment in Goldfield and
Bull Dog. There’s gold over there
and it should not be allowed to lie
in the ground.—Herald,
About forty miles of new irri
gating canals were opened up in
this territory during the last year,
and the system of irrigation has,
one might say, only commenced.
This year the new enterprises will
be vastly beyond those of any pre
vious year. Thus Arison* goes
ahead, . making good preparation
; fr>r her erreater development when
she is admitted to statehood.—Star,
Utah showed the visitors at the
World’s Fair that her chief crop
has a musical turn. The 300 sing
