Senator Jones on Public Affairs.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 12.--Sen- ator Jones, of Nevada, passed East touay, en route to Washington, with his family. The editor of the Leader, in an interview, asked the senator if he would accept a cabinet appoint ment. He replied that he would not, and stated that he advised Ar thur not to make the mistake of Gar field and take his cabinet from the senate. He thought it wrong to ap- point senators, because of the obli- gation te retain them and the uncer- taintv of a cabinet term. The sena- tor expressed the belief that the president would adhere to the true republican idea, accepting the testi- mony of senators and representatives respecting appointments to office, on the theory that they represent the people who elected them and bear testimony as to their wants. The senator further expressed his opposi- tion to the views of Secretary Fol ger, respecting the retirement of sil- yer from circulation.

A Fortunate Accident,

From the Phenix Herald.
 The caving of rock which took place at the Vulture mine few days ago is singular piece or good for tune for the mine, as it has broken down vast quantity of milling ore This has filled one of the drifts, and the cars are loaded at the point of caving, and ru direct to the in- cline and mill. Hundreds of thou sands of tons of ore are thus made available, without the use of single pound of blasting powder. The only misfortune in all the matter is the loss of life in the case of the miner, Mir. Webber, who, because of his leaving the spot where work was as- signed to him, was caught and crushed by an ore car propelled by the air, and died on the following day from injuries received. A coro- ner's jury was summoned, and after careful examination of witnesses, they rendered verdict of accidental death, and entirely exonerated the mining company. This is the more important from the fact that no officer or employee of the mine was member of the jury. The heavy rains of last summer hrd caused a gradual settling in this part of the mine, ard this caving in had long been expected. Hence workmen had been removed from the danger oss portions, and, but for the loss of life, the affair is one of the most fortunate that could have occurred for the economic extraction of ore.

Failure of Shafrer & Lord.

The ore is all free mining, and of high grade, and with the development that has been at tained in the past two years is now yielding a bullion output of over 0O,OOO per month, giving handsome returns in both dividends and enhanced value of ock to fortunate holders.

The exact percentage of copper is not yet ascertained, but to all appearances it is over 50 per cent.

 The state of affairs existing in our neighboring territory of New Mex leo is very bad. In Arizona we boast entirely of different state. This summer the aspect for peace and quiet looked rather blue in the neighborhood of Flagstaff; shooting, killing and robbing seemed to be the order of the day. Our authorities, however, buckIed on the armor, and the way they went for the outlaw element was caution. Arrests were made, indictments found, and trals had, and beneficial results were affected. We have already two can didates for summers pasear "to that bright and beautiful shore," in our county Jail, and the list may be augmented. We are proud to say to our eastern friends that life and property is just as safe in northern Arizona as anywhere else in the Un- ion. Our people are border people, 'tis true, but they are law abiding and take trouble and pleasure in sec ing the laws enforced against mur- dering, thieving criminals. Our sher- ifs are selected for their bravery and determination. Sheriff Walker has met this element flushed with victory in passing rough-shod over the au- thorlties of New Mexico, and by his fortitude and brave assistants i've mention Messrs. Whipple and Lewis and others, at Flagstaff aud vicinity) has conquered and dispersed these bandits.
