PATENT Your MINES The import
ance of patenting the mines, says the
Scientific Press cannot be too frequently
impressed on the mining community.
Every man who finds ledge looks for
ward with bright hopes to its future, and
is assured that success will reward his
labors. When it does it seems too bad
to have a defective title prevent sale.
A United States patent is guarantee
that no one can come in with conflict
ing title after a patent is granted; and
people will not buy mines nowadays un-
less they are sure of this. The avoidance
of litigation with mining property is
worth looking after, and when the title
is once vested in the proper owner by
means of q patent, that is the end Of
any legal proceedings.
doubt regarding ownership is worse
thing to contend with in negotiating for
mining property than a doubt as to the
value CT the mine itself. When man
buys mine he is not compelled to spend
more than he wants to and can stop
when be likes; but in q law suit he is
not a free agent. Therefore, if miners
intend selling their claims or getting
capitalists to aid them, the first step
after getting the claim is to get patent.
Moreover, by procuring q patent the
miner is released from annual expend-
iture. Once the mine is patented it can
lie idle until the owner is ready to work
it, as the title then rests in him and no
longer in the Government.
Much trouble and expense can be pre-
vented by getting a patent, and it is
much less expense than many suppose.

1t was brought out in the Vanderbilt
will case that young Vanderbilt at vari-
GUS times borrowed from Horace Greeley
till the amount reached forty thousand
dollars, Of which he never returned a
copper. When Mr.. Vanderbilt heard
that money was being loaned to
his spendthrifs son, he went to Mr..
Greeley and requested him not to lend
his son any more money. Mr.. Greeley
resented the request as an unwarrantable
interference. Subsequently the elder
Mr.. Vanderbilt paid over $4,000 to the
Greeley heirs, although not legally
| bound to do so.

FLOUR PRODUCTION.

The production ot four, during the last yeur, at the three Touring mills situated in this valley, amounts to three millions four hundred thousand pounds and all from wheat produced on lands watered from the Great Salt River, one hundred and sixty thou sand pounds of this very essential article has been shipped to Yuma tha present terminus of the Southern Pacific k. R., while the wheat of Redondo raised on the San Ysidro ranch, at Yuma, was shipped to Los Angeles, which fact convinces us that eventually Southern California will draw upon this, the grat grana- " or second Egypt for their staff of life. With the great natural re- sources placed at the disposal of the honest tiller of the soil, here. in the tropical valley of Arizona. we can zee no reason why, at no distant day, this section should not be the most desirable spot, to live in, of all the land. Our resources are of the most substantial character, a broad valley eff aqueous land, through which meanders the savery garbed old Salinas, whose source takes rise in the metal lined sierras to henorth. warrants us in asserting that our in dustrious, law abiding citizens must, of a natural and unavoidable neces- ity, in the near future, become prin- ces of the ''easy chair in this terri tory. With the increase of popula- ton throughout our mountains and valleys the increase in planting the broad acres of untitled land will be kept watch of and the amount requi- site to supply all demands promptly furnished. Our land is one of the lilly and rose, the olive and palm, the golden fruit of the harvest and we predict the day is not far distant when will be manufactured and a market ready to receive and consume at least ten million pounds of flour. We are a great people, live in a great valley not surpassed on the Pacific slope, and the great, grand city of Central Arizona will certain ly be Phenix.

aTERRiBLE EXPLOSION.
Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars
Worth of OIL Destroy

NEW York, February 19.-one Of the
new tanks at the works OF the Standard
Oil Company, on Cos,able Hook, Bay.
onne, N. j., exploded this afternoon.
The World says the sound Of the explos.
ion was heard at great distance, and
the entire Fire and Police Departments
Of the city were quickly on the grounds.
The explosion occurred in Tank No. 5,
in which two thousand barrels OF oil
were stored. Il was seen that all at
tempts to subdue the flames would be
useless, and the efforts Of the firemen
were directed 10 saving tank containing
G000 barrels Of naptha, standing within
twenty-five feet Of the burning oil, and to
the bleaching. house, which was within
the same distance.
In the meantime men were at work
under The directions OF Superintendent
Van Wiukle, throwing up breast.high
earthwork around the tank, to prevent a
possible overflow Of the oil. AT half past
six o'clock it was found the FIRE could not
extend further. The FIRE was caused by
the entrance OF cold air into the tank,
when the hot oil was being pumped in,
and spontaneous combustion followed.
The loss ia estimated at between $50, 900
and $40, 900, on whick there was no insur.

Gioncha Pecci the Chosen Man
He Assumes the Title Of Leo
XIII.
RoME, February 2o.-Cardinal Gion-
cha Pecci, Pontifcal Camerlengo, has
been elected Pope. Cardinal Pecci is an
Italian. He assumes the title OF Leo
XIII.
9P.M., February 1s.-The Couclave's
second ballot was begun this afternoon,
but the smoke OF the burning ballots in
this case was not observed until 6:45 P,
NJ, showing that the votes were much
scattered.
The FantaRa states that Germany in.
structed Hohenlohe to declare that the
election OF an irreconcilable Pope would
oblige the government to take repressiye
steps Immediately, whereas moderate
Pontiif could speedily terminate the ex.
listing differences. II also says that the
French Cardinals, contrary to their first
declaration, determined to unite with the
Spanish, Austrian and German Cardinals
In supporting the Moderate candidate.
New YoRK, February 20.-A dispatch
from Rome says: The operations OF the
Sacred Conclaye eliminated in the ballot
taken this morning between 10 and IL
o'clock in the election OF Cardinal PeccI.
The Conclave has been in session since
Monday evening, and as only two ballots
daily have been taken, Cardinal Pecci
was chosen on the third ballot. The
Moderates hesitated between Cardinals
Franchi and Pecci, but the conflicting
elements became harmoniZed. The an.
nouncement to the people was made with
prescribed formalities, and the ceremonies
from the Vatican created intense excite.
ment, although it had been accepted as
q ioregone conclusion that an Italian
Cardinal would be elected.
CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE ELEcTIoN.
The circumstances OF the election are
as follows: At this mornings ballot
Cardinal Pecci received SO votes, which
was FIVE short OF the requisite two-thirds
majority. When the voting was finished
and the papers were burned, Cardinal
Francisco and those holding the same
views with him advanced and knelt be-
fore Cardinal Pecci. This example be-
ing followed by the others, Cardinal
Pecci's election was secured by the meth
cd known as "by alteration" Count
seipger Immediately informed the Pope
that he proposed to present him with one
million francs, as the first donation OF
Peters pence from the French Episco-
pate.
As soon as the result OF the election
was known the bells in all the churches
OF Rome rang, and diplomasts went to
the Vatican to congratulate the new
Pope. The Cardinals will remain in the
Vatican until tomorrow. Perfect order
prevails everywhere.
BISMARCK sArtsTrED WITH THE NEW
POPE.
LONDON, February 21.-A correspond.
ent at Berlin Gays: Prince Bismarck
considers Cardinal Peccis election to
the Papacy the most suitable one possible
at the present time.
