THE sH1PrON PROPHECY.
But n Vague tumble of Words De'o'"
 ofPoint or Application

.syo,ber Shlpton" was a veritable character who lived more than three hundred years ago and uttered many so-called prophecies, whiGh Mete mostly vague jum5les Of words wl'h- ont noint and not applicable to any sne.ial event. A pamphlet contain ing q lot of these vaticinatlOns was nrinted in London iD 164l, and her ssI,ife and Curious Prophecies was nnblisbed in 1867. Tn 1862 MT. Chas. Hindlev of Brighton, England, issued what purported to be an exact reprint or a "cheap- book version of hO'her ShiptOn's prophecies, ''trom the edl- non of 16iS." In this, for the hrst time. the verses contained point, pith and application to events. All mod ern discoveries were predicted. "Car- risces without horses shall go" plainly referred to railroads. The telegraph, steamers, discovery of gold ID Call fornia. etc, were all shadOwed forth. 1.-the prophecy had been genuine, all it's predictions having been iulllled' then the world must be prepared Tor the last:
 ssT'be world to an end shall come
 In eighteen hundred and eiGhty-one-
 A journalist of an inquiring turn Of mlnd sent a reporter 10 The British Museum, and found that there was really a "cheap-hoOk version" of Mother Shipiun, dated l64l, another of 1642, containing what purported 10 be the old lady's portrait; other prOphe- cies, dated I64S, 1862 and 1867, and s'Moiher Shipt"n's Life and Curious Prophecies" complete in an edition of l7gi. On computing Chas. Hind ley's reprint with these, it was found 10 be entirely different from the origi- nals. The old prophecies were mere mass of local productions that might have been fulfilled hundred tunes since their date. None of the printed and interesting predictions contained in Charles Hindlty's book were found ip the old editions, and all these had evidently been written after the events had occurred which they claimed 10 predict. Previous to this examina- tiOn and comparison everyone seemed 10 have taken it for granted that Hind ley's edition was really an exact copy ot the old prophecies; but thls expo .ition deprived the alleged Dredicti ns of all claim to excite wonder. Tn 1873 MT. Hindlry wrote letter confessing rhaI be had fabricated the prophetic, in order to render his book salable. He set out in good faith to reprint the old cheap book, but as he found noth- ing in il applicable tO modern times, he supplied the omission from his own wits, and the version was accepted for years as a real prediction, made two hundred and fifty years before. or the several versions now going the rounds q The papers few are correct or complete from Mr. Hindley's book.

Ari1ona's Copper Resources.

Within two years the production of copper in Arizona has grown into prospeclively marvellous industry. The copper bullion shipped during 1881 composed nearly the entire pro- duction of the Pacific Coast, which aggregated in value oyer eight hun dred thousand dollars. The famous Copper Queen mine at Bisbee has been too often described in the CITI- ZEN 10 need further mention. The Neptune and Copper Prince com- panies, in the same camp, are mak- ing preparations to reduce their ores, which are said to be as rich as the pioneer mine of Mule Pass, and before the year is half expired, they will each ship more copper bullion than the Queen, as they are preparing their works on a much larger and more complete scale. The Longfellew Con- pany's property at Clifton, in the eastern portion of the Territory, has developed quietly into colossal en- terprise. Over six hundred men are employed at the mines; miles of tram way have been built for the mere con venient handling of the ores; and small army of tesmsters is engaged in hauling away the bullion and trans porting fuel and supplies to the mines. We cannot give the figures as to the amount of production, but the com psny is working the mines st hand some profit, and there IS no doubt that the aggregate value Of the com ing years bullion will be something enormous. In addition to the above, the Globe Silver Belt is authority for the statement that the machinery for NIT. Boulinger's copper mines on Min eral Creek is lying at Casa Grande, and that smelling will commence in side of sixty days. A personal Inspec- ton of a number of copper claims in that section convinces the writer that there is e wonderful future in store for that section. The lodges are enormous, and apparently very rich in copper Tn the most easily handled shape, and their close proximity to the adjacent valley-where wood and water abound-will make the work ing Of the mines profitable in the ex- treme. It is not too much to say that the coming year will witness a growth in copper production that will rival the famous Lake Superior region, while in the future, as new discov- cries are made and new companies commence work, the industry will form no inconsideisble portion of Arizona's greatness.

A compliment to the colored Race.

St. Louis teaches the nation wholesome lesson as to the treatment of the colsred man. The Globe Dem ocrai says: "There are no nicer gentlemen in St. Louis than the clerks Tn the Collectors office; they certainly do not seem to suffer from the presence of two gentlemanly and attentive colored clerks who work with them. In tho P0stoffice we have becume &C., GUS omed 10 ihe employment of col ored men as leiter-carrIers and clerks, and the uniform satisfaction they have given is the best proof that could be asked of the wisdom Of employing them" It may be that the time will soon come when the negro will no longer be insulted on accoun, of hIs coler, even in the Military Academy ct West Point.

Arizona. Hos Angeles Herald.1

Arizona to-day, with all intelligent men, eclipses Nevada. The glOrIes of the old Silver State are those Of mem ory and retrOspectiOn. Mines at a depth of from two thousand 10 three thousand feet are beyond the possi6il- ity of profit, especially with the ex- traVagant management which has been bred in the bone of Cnmstock mining maguates, or more properly, stool pigeons. The sheer at Arizona has been principally because the mines of the Territory lacked depth. Just there is the strength of Arizona mines. Tombstone Is worth the played -out COmsICck lode twenty times over, because the Tombstone mines are at iritiing depths and yield from the surface. The Nevada mines are 6 mammoth devil fish, squirm ing and delving not only into the depths of the earth, but into the depths of stockholders pockets. Fortunately for the fair fame of Arizona, assess ments are an almost unhesrd-of thing. At the worst they are confined 10 the owners of the mineral properties, and
 
 ing stock propositions. None of the attractive properties which are now paying heavy dividends in Arizona have levied assessments. The Silver King, which has paid many divi- dends, and which bids fair to pay more. has never levied an assessment on stockholders. The same may be said of the leading Tombstone mines. Undoubtedly Arizona will in the near future, play leading part in stock speculation. Unless all signs fail, before the coming transcOntiDental railway systems below the snow belt shall have been completed, the atten- tiOn of Eastern cspitaliis will be focused upon Arizona, a region which has practically developed itself in an extraordinary degree.

Still the King.


 The King mine IS still king, and ss sunk upon improves as dep.h is at- tained. At 50O feet the vein of ore is ol feet in width, and all bears a suffl- ciency of silver to warrant it's being milled. The ore is mIned for thirty cents per ton. The magnitude of the output can be imagined when the dump Is estimated as showing more ore than the present capacity of the works can reduce ID three years, but fortunately the company Is progres- sive, snd have ordered sufficient addi- h1nal machinery to insure the reduc- ton of seventv-five tons of ore daily. Seyenty-hve tons, although seemingly large, Is mere mndicum of what the miEe is capable of yielding. It's ca pacity is only commensurate With the number of tons of ore that can be raised from il by improved machinery. Had this deposit of ore come under Mendoza's explorers observation, three hundred years ago, they would not have been withdrawn by his order from what is now known as Arizona because of the want of a suficiency of silver 10 satisfy Spanish cupidity The King mine is simply wonderful and when better known it will he re earded as dwarfng the best of the Nevada -bonanzas ia their palmiest days.
