The interest excited by the gold dis coveries in Alaska is certain to help the nearer at home gold producing regions. Many eastern capitalists are now engaged in investigating the op lortuiiities that exist in Arizona for money making. It is surprising that more Chicago capitalists do not turn their eyes in the direction of our treas ure territory. Legitimate investments in Ari7xna arc absolutely safe. Our territorial warrants are now selling at par and territorial bonds are in de mand. One big Chicago company is now negotiating for a big block of our bonds. The total indebtedness of the territory is only about t-800,000. Our jmliki havejsevonil millions (n depos it.. Arizona is on the tip grade, and investors who embrace" present opjor tunities undoubtedly v. ill be well satls fled. While Arizona's claims U) state hood are likely to be ignored for some time to come, the solid, substantial people of the territory are not discour aged. Statehood will come just as soon as the financial clouds clear away from the country. A few demagogues in Arizona are crying for 'home rule' that Is, the privilege of electing admin istrative oflicers instead of being gov erned by appointees of the president. 'Home rule' of this character, if granted by congress, would put an end to the statehood idea for twenty years at least"." Chicago Chronicle. Another Holdup. Holdups are becoming entirely too frequent, in Prescott. Tuesday evening shortly before 9 o'clock, as H. E. Thur: man, driver of the Crowned King stage1, was returning from putting up-'hls team, he was met near the Granite creek bridge by iwo masked men and relieved of $134 in money, a gold watch and his way pouch. "One of the men, of medium height, presented a pistol, while the second robber, taller than the other, went through Thurman'p pock ets. After they had examined the pouch and found nothing in It that they could use, they returned it and made their way up street. Mr. Thurman ran to Mulvenon's saloon and notilled the sheriff's otlice by telephone. So far no arrests have been made. Journal Miner. A marriage1 license was issued today to Edward L.

In Memoriam, Whereas, it has pleased the Al mighty God to call from our midst one of our most active workers and worthy lirothers, William Grist, Be it resolved, that the order of Knights of I'ythius in general, and Mountain lodge No. 15 of Arizona in particular, do feel seriously the loss of Brother Grist, as a knight whose heart was ever ready to resjiond to a call for assistance by a worthy brother or his dejieudents, and a brother whose gon ial companionship was always sought to lift the burdens from his fellow man. Further resolved, that we extend to his bereaved father and widow our heartfelt sympathy in this hour of trial, and that our charter be draped in mourning for thirty days. Further, that we engross on our records this memorial of the death of our brother knight, and that a copy be forwarded to his widow and father, and that it be printed in our weekly papers.

Work on the tunnel Is being pushed as hard as money and men can push it, and it is expected that trains will pass through and traffic be resumed not later than Tuesday next. There is but comparatively little l-ock to lie taken out. The heat has been the element to contend with and has caused the delay in replacing the timliers. Water has been freely used in trying to coo the rock, and a fan is used to drive the gas-laden air from the tunnel. Every precaution is being taken to pre vent another fire, and It is hoped that trains may lie running at an early day. Should the delay continue there will be a shortuge in a number of lines of sup plies. The sugar and coal oil supply p about exhausted here. 1." "tt"9ILj4 1
