In desperate frenzy, George Hoff roan, a young man aged about twenty v ears, of Catawissa, committed suicide Monday night. He was employed for ome time, or it fact up until Christ mas, by liveryman Daniel Fagley. Whether the loss of his position and failure to obtain another produced despondency is not knc.wn, but he has been without work since Christ irtas. On Monday he called at the Catawissa paper mill, where -he told iome men that he intended to kill imself. He made good his threat. Leaving the mill he went to the office at the livery stable where he drained the content of two small phials ol laudanum. He was found early Tues 4j morning. Iditorial iu '' Boston Transcript." An endorsement of the Education al Work of the Young Men's Christian Association. The following unsolicited editorial appeared in the Boston Transcript, June 8, 1901. It will be read with much interest by all teachers and ollicers: " Few people outside those im mediately interested realize the growth and extent of the educational work carried on by the Young Men's Christian Association, amounting, as a matter of fact to the functions of a national university of practical teach ing, with its branches in every city of the country. The system of adminis tration naturally differs from that of our public schools. Standard courses. t 1 it seems, are maintained by inter national examinations. Branches from grammar school to university find ligitimate place. Pupils are of all conditions and classes of men. It follows that the classes are comoosed of men already in the whit 1 of life past me scnool room, able to devote only a little time to study, anxious to do ad they can, and unwilling to spend time on much that would be unes sential. With fifty subiects taucht. the courses are certainly adapted to the special needs of the associations. "it isvery signincant that there are 27,000 men spending on an averace of forty-eight hours of recitation each season, or double the number of ten years ago. Last year, it seems, i.coo certificates were won by men in 115 ciirterent associations, the movement having so developed in organization and standard of work done that ito colleges and universities recognize these certificates for matriculation. The board of examiners certainlvnre- sents an array of names that should command confidence. inrlndincr Hamilton W. Mabie. Professor Hod?e ot Clark University, Professor Adams ot Johns Hopkins University. .Pro fessor Aeman Aeman of the Universi ty of Michigan, Professor Thomas of Columbia University, and a dozen others of equally high repute in edu cational work. " Undoubtedly the work, so care fully arranged and so ably conducted, has proved a great stimulus to work ing young men in directing their thoughts to self-culture and to higher mental attainments. It is easy to be lieve that thousands of young men occupy good positions which they never could have attained but for the evening classes of the Young Men's r . . ... vnrisuan Associations. Moreover, in addition to its con certed evening school movement, the association wields a powerful educa tional leverace in its libraries and reading rooms, its congresses, topic ciuds, and various other well known forms of educational, social work, which are reported in increasing num bers and quality each year. In no way probably could the Young Men's Christian Association have so com nletelv demonstrated its usefulness as Dy thus becoming a great educational institution without laying aside us religious motive. And it is safe to say that there is no feature ot its man sided work so efficient and so sought after as the opportunities for culture. A.

(ORGANIZED UNDER ARIZONA LAWS) Capital Steele, ----- $5,000,000 1,000,000 shares, par value, $5.00 each, fully paid, non-assessable and free from individual liability. Hon. FREDERICK A. TRITLE, of Arizona, President. CHARLES D. CRAMP, of Philadelphia, Vice President. E. A. DARLING, Secretary and Treasurer. A Few Words in General That May Result in Profit to Those Wise Enough to Grasp Opportunities. It has only been within the past two years that the wonderful Cananea deposits were brought to the attention of the Copper marts of the world through the daily increasing pro duct of the Greene Consolidated Copper Company, the product of which is now astonishing the metallic world by its magnitude. The LA CANANEAS COPPER COMPANY gives you an oppor tunity to obtain an interest in this rich Copper region at a reasona ble price for its shares. In this Cananea zone the copper deposits are among the richest ever discovered and of great volume, besides labor is obtained at $1.00 per day gold, as against $4.00 per day gold, in Montana. The Richest Mines in the World Are in Mexico. The La Cananeas Copper Company is one of the four companies virtually owning the entire Cananeas Copper Zone, termed the richest ore deposits in the world. For the first time its securities are offered for public subscription at the low price of $1.00 per share, par $5 00. The Greene Consolidated, owning the property immediately adjoining our mines, .in wiac ouaics cti j.uu eacu, anu now noma iiieui at 950.UU. 35,000,000 Pounds Per Annum. History Should Repeat Itself. The Greene Consolidated Copper Company has surprised the mining world by its re markable success. Two years ago they, like ourselves, were asking the aid of capital. Now they smelt 1,000 tons of ore daily, employ"4,ooo men, owns its own railway system, costing nearly $1,000,000, and have been making copper at the rate of 35,000,000 pounds per annum. Next year they claim their product will be 72,000,000 pounds, and claim that .they have in sight the richest bodies of copper ore in the world, aggregating $ 1 20,000,000, and say the Company can lay blistered copper down in New York at four cents per pound. Our property should prove a worthy neighbor. Its location speaks eloquently of possi bilities that may make our stock of great value. The Cananeas Copper Company has acquired 230 acres of this wonderful mineral zone, our mines almost completely surrounding the great Puerticites properties of the Greene Consolidated, in which they claim $40,000,000 IN SIGHT. Our property is the La Libertad and El Ultimatum. Study the following official map, which tells its own story. These two mines are patented : Fortunes nre ronped by those who purchased the securities of a certain mine or corporation before the act ual vnlue of the stock became known, ami the price fixed beyond the limit of speculative possibilities, wherein lie the only true solution of the proper ne to acquire mining stocks. When the limit of speculation is reached the stock then becomes an investment, and buyers thereafter have no opportunities to participate in the enor mous profit possible before the limit of the value of the stock is recognized, and it becomes a dividend payer. J'lie foundation of the great mining fortunes were laid during the speculative stage, while the ore bodies were being developed to test their magnitude. This is What the La Cananeas Copper Company Offers You. Our Libertad property is very fortunately located, considering tho discoveries of ore made iu theGreeno properties, and it Is earnestly hoped that tho developments of the La Libertad Mines may cause It to be a lit v"i 11111 in.. 11 mi mi- IUIIHIIIF9 iniiiHTueH hi tnir more Huci'es?uiii iieiirmifir.
