Bisbee Copper District.

The celebrated Copper Queen mine in Bisbee district, Arizona, is second in eI- tent only to the Calumet and Hecla mines of Lake Superior, although its productive history dates back only two years-to the 20th of August, 1880. It is situated on the eastern slope of Mule Pass, in the Mule Mountains, at an el- ovation from the creek bottom of about one hundred feet. It is distant from Tombstone thirty miles by trail and for ty-five by stage road. The copper pro- duced from August 20 1880, to June IT, lSS2, was 900 tons; total ore smelted, 29,24 tons. For the fiscal year ending April l, 1889, the value of the copper produced and forwarded to New York was Sl, l,O2O.SJ9.72 The cost of mining. smeltlng, refining and forwarding to New York aggregated S532, 733S3, lesv- ing the net earnings for the year, S4SS, ,126.39.

ATemnerance GeneraI.

It was recently reported that Sir Gar net Wolseley IS total abstainer from intoxicating beverages. A man who sat by him at dinner found that he left hls wine glass untouched, and that that War his habit. Of course the temperance people will make much of that fact. The greatest, or at least the most sue cessful, English General of this day IS a teetOtaller. His success they will attri- bute % hIs abstemiOusness, W ich IS all the more remarkable in a soldier; or, at any rate, they will claim that the tri- umph of the English arms in Egyp has been greatly helped by the General m command. And they will have good reason for the claim. Undoubtedly a sober General IS far more trustworthy than one who relies on stimulan ts to bolster him up when the occasion is try ing. No man can be trusted to do work which requires good judgment If he Is much addicted to drink. Alcohol very soon affects the balance of the faculties and therefore the less people who have need to have theIr heads about them take of it the better they are off Drink ing IS the great vice Of armies, and yet nowhere else does a man require that all his faculties shall be normal more than when in charge of troops In the field, especially If he is high in command. 1T Sir Garnet Wolseley IS a teetotaller he Is wise man. He Is in better physical condition to stand the different climates to which military servlce may call him, and intellectually he keeps himself far better poised than If he followed the drinking customs of the run of army officers. His mlnd IS clearer, and he can trust his judgment. How many thou sands of lives would have been saved in our war, for instance, If the generals had all been as sober as Wolseley IS sad to be. We observe that among English men of education and ability, and who carry the load of extensive affairs, the tendency IS toward increasing abstem- iOusness, and that even total abstainers are growing pretty numerous. IL is @ tendency which we commend 10 the thoughtful attention of our men ir public life, our professional and busi- ness men.-N. I. Sun.

pEBr coL1EcrnSe BY TIE CHURCH.

In the town of McKeesport, Pennsyl- vania, the Methodist Episcopal church has a paragraph in its discipline that, enforced in the proper spirit, promises to become rival to the courts in the collection of debts from its members, and it is a provision that could profit ably be adopted by the church in all parts of the country. The paragraph reads as follows:
 To prevent scandal when anyone of our members fails in his business or contracts debts which he is not able to pay, let two or three iudicious members of the church inspect the accounts con- tracted and the circumstances of the case of the supposed delinquent, and if they iudge that he has behaved dis honestly or borrowed money without probability of paying, let him be brought to trial, and if found guilty be expelled. But the defendant will be expected to show cause for neglect of payment. The powers of the committee are limited They must decide whether the defend ant owes the plaintiff the sum claimed; whether the failure to pay arises from inability. neglect, or dishonesty; but this shall be only as matter or opln- ion, and not as verdict
 Quite recently a member of the church. holding the acceptance of a brother member for quite sum of money, which was overdue and no dis position shown by the debtor to hqui- date it, began church proceedings un- der the provisions of this paragraph for its collection. The petition was duly served upon the pastor of the church, whose duties are judicial, and the pro per committee appointed to hear and determine the matter. The result of their deliberations are not yet reached.
 The are some features of such pro ceedings that are quite merltorlous, ln- asmuch as there Is no expense attached to the collection of debts by thls pro- cess, and the disgrace of expulsion from tine church is Q consideration of no light character, and yet expulsion from the fold of an erring brother Is the extent of the church's jurisdiction, the courts being the derDier resort. If such excellent church discipline can be enforced that the collection of bad debts from its members can be made reasonably certain, its membership can be recruited greatly from among business men of all classes, and much practical good will follow.

WE elsewhere publish an article from the New York Sun upon the new evil so rapidly spreading in Eastern cities, of producing intoxication by the hypoder- mic injection of norphia. In temper auce circles 1t Is termed collaboration, al- though its effects are perhaps more to be dreaded than those of alcohol. If this rapidly growing tendency IS not soon checked, It Is possible that the bar-room will in future be converted into elegantly fittei-up parlors, with the best appliances for administering the deadly drug whose chains bind its vic tim more firmly than the modern vulgar methods ofinebriation. The social man will not ask hIs friend to take a smile, but will simply say, Tets take hyp, and proceed to bare an arm for the ap- plication. Really, mankind loves to live as near to death as 1t Is possible for him to do and exist.

The extensive ditch to the CRsteca mines will be finIshedin about six weeks. It will carry fifteen hundred inches, miners measurement. of water, and have & fall of from two to three hundred feet. There Is no lack of water Ht the source of the ditch to supply thIs amount, and that being the case, We may look with certainty for gratifying reports from the Castecs country hereafter. Nothing but a sufficiency of water was needed to make that region one of the best paying auriferOus belts opened III this State. Gold in remuneratIve quantities IS dis trIbuted through that entire region. So rich IS Ii in places that for many years individual miners have made good wages whenever they could get a pool of water in which to wash the dirt by Ibe pan process. With large volume of water and the force It will have when taken from the ditch, ground sluicing will give returns which will be simply wonderful The gold ranges at twenty two fine, and brings at the Mint Sl9 per ounce. Its character is grain and coarse, although there IS also great deal of scale gold found in places. But the great advantage of this Ruriferous belt IS in its Immensity and in the general diffusion of gold throughout it's entire area, reaching from a point few miles above Newhall to Elizabeth Lake, and taking in e breadth of country ranging from ten to twenty-five milss in width. The outlay for bringing water to this district is as nothing to the returns the company will realize from their invest ment.- Ex.

A most wonderful discovery has been recently made on the east drainage of Little Lost River Last July Charles F. Blackburn, the geologist and mining explorer, came hIther m search of hid den treasures. The first day after reach ing hls destination he noticed geOlOg
 ical evidences highly favorable for TlcI mines. He started out Investigating early on the morning of the 18th of July, and before noon he had discovered the great "Tyndall Lode" The first locs- ton was made about the center of the vein, on sn outcrOp of gray carbonate, galena and copper. Ore samples were broken and taken to Denver. While there MT. Blackburn had assays made of this Tyndall ore, and the results were blg, the very surface orecontaining from l37 .o over 500 ounces silver per ton. Mir. Blackburn hurried back from the Exposition, closed work on the Black burn mine, on Birch Greek. and the en- tire camp moved hither to begin on the opening of the TyndRll lode. The first thing done after arriving at the mine Was to turtber prospect and locate exten- sions. The Tyndall Outcrop was readily traced over eighteen thousand feet, con- LlHuOus IufUuEuuut. Llc Fclu VIII aver age hundred feet in width. Twelve extensions have been located, siI north and six south of the original Tyndall To- cation. Three of these show an immense Outcrop of paying ore. The Daisy Black is a solid body of gray carbonate and galena ore, fully sixty feet in width. Many thousands of tons of ore may be seen on the above claim. The Ingersoll shows solid outcrop of steel galena, copper and chloride ore, fully thirty feet wide. The ore will average 60 per cent. lead, and from wall to wall is Iich Tn silver The Ingersol shows good ore at the surface for one thousand feet A mass of almost pure galena could be eI- tracted from the mine that would e1- ceed twenty tons in weight The Tyn- dall shows splendid body of high grade copper, veioed with sulphurets and chlo- ride of silver. outerop forty feet wide.
