Mrs. William Adams, poorly clad, but ap-
parently of considerable education and about
80 years OF age. told the Comm issioners OF En-
igration the following story several days ago:
Her parents were wall-to-do residents OF Bel
fast ten years ago. One OF her uncles was the
owner OF large mill and OF considerable other
real estate in that city. Her maiden name Is
withheld from publication at her request. She
fell in love with member OF tho Bel
fast police force. who had just been trans
ferred from Sligo. Her parents opposed
her marriage, but having some money
in her own right sho advanced some
to her lover TO enable him to leave the police
force and set up in business as n grocer. Soon
atterward they were married. Ho failed in bust
ness, and she secured money to set him up
IaaRaln. Again he failed. He was addicted to
drink, and TO escape the disgrace that had fallen
upon her, she consented 10 come to this country.
They brought with them the Inst of her fortune.
$4,000. While this lasted they lived in apart
ments in the international Hotel &C Greenwich
street He went into business again with part
Of this money as capital. Again he failed. and
company. During NIL the time he was in this

than S. 10 the support OF her and her children.
At last he told her that he was going to look for
employment. lie went away and never returned
TO her, she was Obliged TO leave her apartments
in the hotel and to take room in tho attic Of a
rear tenement at 2li Canal street. She said that
she had had nothing to eat for weeks except

Prof. Blake's Visit to Mineral IEiII

Prof Blake's visit to Mineral Hill DOT tends good to the district. He is one of the best accredited authorities at the east, on mines, their geological formation, etc.
 His reputation as a geologist and miner alogist is national and second to none of the present celebrities, ill this particular branch of science. Whatever he may say concerning our mines will be accepted by the general public as reliable and trust worthy. He went to Mineral Hill with the intention of remaining but one day, but was so surprised at and pleased with what he saw upon his first days inspec- ton that he prolonged his visit three days, and examined number of claims beside the Alice, finding in each of them the same geological evidence of perma- nency and richness. He returned from the camp Monday, short time before the departure of the stage for Casa Grande, and as he left by that stage, we had only brief conversation with him concerning Mineral Hill He said the district was a good one and contained some of the finest veins he ever saw. He found them not only exceptionally strong, but permanent and expressed surprise that they should have lain there so long undeveloped and apparently unnoticed. He found horn silver till lie got tired of looking at it. All the conditions of the district, he said, are favorable He will make an elabor- ate and exhaustive report on the district at once and its contents will be sur prise to those who have persisted in be- lieving Mineral Hill a low-grade and val ueless district, and whose belief has re- suited, in most instances, entirely from unreasoning prejudices. We forego fur ther comment, as we have the promise of a copy of the Professors report, as soon as it is ready for print and shall publish it in full It will speak for itself

It is known that the Gold Hill, at Quartzburg, Idaho, has divided up 8 handsome profit privately The Custer mine, of Idaho, produced S911, ,981 Tn the first eleven months of the year, nearly half of which represents profit
 It will be seen by the foregoing state ments that the seven dividend paying mines of Arizona pay s462, 300 more than do the fourteen dividend-paying mines of California, and SSS2, 500 more than do the seven dividend-paying mines of Ne vada, and S55, 900 more than Utah and Dakota combined. The figures also show that Nevada leads Arizona in assessments by S6, ,211 ,6l0, and that California leads us in assessments by S1, 1,940,350
 This showing is all the more gratifying when we remember that California and Nevada mining men have fought the pro gress of Arizona at every step of her ad- vance. Their opposition has been deter mined and systematic They have thrown their combined influence into the balance
  against us, and resorted to every means within their power to lower our mines in the estimation of investors Each of the seven mines, which place Ariz0na at the head of the list of dividend-paying sec tions this year, was in turn examined and adversely reported by the hired minions of this plutocratic confederation of Pacific Coast mining men, and for time the stock went begging on the market. No mining district of the west has labored under as great disad- vantages as has Arizona, and the fact tha, she now leads the van of dividend paying districts should convince capitalists that her claim to superiority in mines is gen | uine.

SENATOR Prsp1rroN delivered 2 spee

SENATOR PENDLEToN delivered speech on reform in the civil service, in the Senate, last week, in which lie said:
 1.-The spells system implies to every one vision of wrong, injustice, brutality, wastefulness, recklessness, frauds, specu- lation, and such degradation of persons and of parties as has driven from Ameri- can political life much of the cultivated intellect and refined morality of the coun- try and filled the most hopeful minds with sadness, for much in the present and grave anxiety for the future. The spells system was the real assassin of Garfield. It robs the President, Cabinet, Ministers, Senators, Congressmen, Judges, of the time needed in performance of public duties, renders their public action often partisan, partial and unjust, and too ire quently hurried and half done In place of spells system should be instituted a moral system, which should be founded on the idea that public officers and public trusts should be administered solely fol public good. The Attest men shall ad minister then till filter men can be found.

THE friends of Postmaster General James have again given out that he in tends to strike decisive blow at the Star Route rascals before his retirement from the department. These statements are growing stale. They have been repeated with marked regularity about once week ever since the disgraceful iasco in the Brady case. The people begin to believe that the prosecutors and prosecuted are birds of feather, and that James and all the rest of the official gang got slice of the swag" Those Washington fel. lows can do more loud talking and les. real business than any other set of mer on the face of the globe.

THE San Francisco Stock Ecchange, which always speaks to the point, has this to say of Americas great female fraud:
 Mrs. Victoria Woodruff announces herself as a candidate for President. It is time the old lady quit playing the fool. and that newspapers ceased publishing her antics. The American people resemble medieval kings and barons ill the charac- teristic that they must have national buffoon, or half dozen for that matter of both sexes, to amuse them. Political testers are preferred, fellows who will jingle their bells from one years end to another, until some greater fool throws them In the shade by his superior antics This Woodruff person has been to Europe, and is spoken of by Fontenelle as an American lady, very popular in her own country, where she has made herself the apostle of social reform and the enamel patton of women.' Woodruff and social reform! May the Lord forgive Fonte- nelle for being such fool or a liar or both. It takes great deal of wealth, of enterprise, of vast charity, of talent, etc. etc., to offset the absurd figure we so ire 1 quently cut in the eyes of strangers by this ridiculous and pernicious habit ol psmpering and encouraging our nationa testers. This joke about Woodruff and social reform is dangerous bit of humor because Paris is such glorious city for ; woman of the Woodhulls proclivities that the Parisians may get an odd idea O what the American standard of reform really is. George Francis Train wore thu cap and bells for long time, but he wa shut off in good time. Let the Woodhul also be shorn of her insignia. She is
 creature of the newspapers, and whel they drop her she retires from the foot lights, and the curtain falls upon tn
 farce

Saddle Mountain District.

Mir J. HardestY is just in from Saddle Mountain district. He reports rich strikes in that district, among which are notably that in the Saddle Mountain King, where a large body of ore has been struck, the whole of which averaged over S100 per ton. The Buckingham, which is the ex- tension of the Saddle Mountain King, and owned by the same parties (Messrs. Smith, Neiman and Snyder), IS also show ing fine body of high grade ore. The Lookout, owned by Messrs. Latin and Harrington, is showing a large amount of high grade ore, which runs from $50 to S650 per ton. We are informed that Mir
 Latin is preparing to ship ore from his half of the Lookout. A very rich strike has been made by the Anderson brothers, some of the rock showing native silver. Mir. Hardesty, in sinking on the Ajax mine, opened pay streak three feet wide of gray carbonate ore, which averages Sl50 dollars per ton. He also reports good ore in the Dodson and Eastern mines, the latter of which is the first east extension of the Lookout. The May Bell is also showing two feet of ore that aver ages Sl00 per ton. There are also many other rich strikes reported on AsR and Deer creeks. The miners of Saddle Noun tain district have constructed a good wagon road from the Lookout mine to the San Pedro, distance of eight miles
 where it connects with the Tucson anC Globe and Florence roads, 80 that persona wishing to visit the district can now drive their wagons to almost any of the mines The owners of the coal claims, which ar, eighteen miles from Saddle Mountain will. after the 1st of January, begin {; road from the coal mines to connect witl the road at Saddle Mountain and othe
 points, which will open the valuable coa deposits to a good market in Saddl' Mountain and other mining districts.

At the same time, the product oi the Tombstone district will reach near lY 8. .OOO. 900.

HoN. G. H. OURY, of Florence, has been given place in the committee on mines and mining. This position will en- able him to render his constituents a large per cent of whom are miners or mine owners - valuable service. At every session of Congress some ambitious representative has endeav- bred to tamper with the mining laws, and in most instances, these meddlers have been men possessing as little knowl- edge of mines as hog has of etiquette We want but little legislation on this sub jeet, and that little, to be beneficial, must be shaped by men having practical knowl- edge of the needs of mining districts. Mir. Oury having voice in the delibera- tions of. the committe on mines, can dc much toward defeating any unwise or un, necessary legislation that may be sug gosted on that subject.
