n Monument lmperil0u.

The fate Of Mont St. Michel in Brit
tany still forms the subject of a brisk
interchange Of notes BET wecn the
Ministry of Fine Arts and the Ministry
of Public Works, and the real point at
issue is now beginning to appear. On
the one hand it IS admitted that the
dyke, which has been constructed from
the mainland by tle Ministry of Public
Works, need not really imperil the
safety of the buildings, for these could
be easily protected by some additional
huttrcSseS; but, on the other hand, it is
confessed that the dyke is only the
thin edge Of the wedge and that the
real object of the department is to
gradually reclaim the whole OF the
gicce, $4,000 acres in extent, just as the
neighhOring marshes of Dol have al
ready been reclaimed. The famous
Mount would then raise its spires and
towers above "a sea Of corn, now
green, now gold, alive with men and
beasts of burden, and even traverscd
by a railway" moreover, the work
would really be one of "rcstoration, !"
for there was no doubt Il time when
thc sea had not submerged The ground
!etwcen the Mount and the main land.
All This, however, fails to convince the
"W,practical dreamer" in the Ministry
StJ.n q Jh.!nS S. AEtiSs WIG e. caa III ttAs aStMlX0r
ment, and declare that its incorporation
with the main land would destroy it's
artistic merit. One may ut any rate
he glad that the incorporation, for
which there is certainly great deal to
be said, had not been carried out be-
fore Clarkson Staniicld's drawing and
Mr.. IIaig's etching.
Another favorite subject with artists,
even better known to English travellers
than Mont st. Michel, will soon be Il
thing of the past-namely, the old
Notifications of Calais. The gate and
draw-bridgc form the background, it
will be remembered, III IIogarth's "Oh!
the Roast Beef of Old England" and
the scene is described at the beginning
of the fourth volume OF "Aiodurn
Painters" as Il typical instance of the
picturesque" and as ''im some sort the
epit0mc Of all that makes the conti-
ncnt of Europe interesting us opposed
to new countries" Tho municipality y
is now lcvcling the Notifications SO as
to include the ncighboring suburb Of
st. Pierre, where Il colony Of Noting
ham laccnlakerS was established after
the peace of 1878. The losses are tU
be filled up, and between Calais and st.
Pierre it is proposed to erect a central
railway station, Il theatre and an hotc
dc vile.

a New York restaurateur says: The
drive along the SChuylllill river above
Philadelphia was made famous by the
meals of reed birds, catfish and watileS
furnished at the few hotels that were
located there in earlier days. In fact,
these dishes contributed more than any
other agency toward the great park of
which Phil&delphianS can boast. They
attracted attention to that romantic
quarter OF the city. and when it was
proposed to devote it to park purposes,
there was no voice raised in opposition.

Bill Nye said just returned from il

Northern Wisconsin is the place
where they yank big wet log into IL
mill and turn it into cash as quick rs Il

worked into lumber. These iron dogs

AT one OF these mills, not long ago, a

TRI-W EEKLY EDITION.
THE FADED ROSE,

Were you borne hithcr by the wind
That rustles through the bowers,
Or did the tuncful nightingale
That flutters DER the flowers
Make you, poor rose, his prey?
No, under the dancers careless feet
From robe ut the ball you tumble,
Pale emblem Of those living flowers
That like you, too, must crumble.
Under their feet they crush the bud,
Until dancer stopping
Lifts and hurls it through the sash,
Into the garden dropping
The rose just born today.
But I, who CLEAN the bruised ear,
Press to my heart the vagrant
And search for samcthing meath its leaf
Besides its odor fragrant.
How often, there in heart beats count,
AS you rest OIL my bosom,
a ueathlcSs dream controls my thoughts,
Poor, pale and faded blossom.

Arizona silver belt., 1883-01-06

We have been shown some very rich specimens of copper ore, taken from recent discovery by F. and P. Winkle- man, near the mouth of the San Pedro, in Gila County. The vein as now opened at the depth of five feet shows three feet of ore of the character ex- hibited to us. The ledge, however, shows 20 feet on the surface, with ore the entire width.
 George Scott is steadily at work developing his mine, of which the Winklemans' is an extension. He ran cross-cut, all in ore, 60 feet and did not reach either wall. The croppings show about 300 feet. Tweed's copper property is within about two miles of the above claims.
 P. Winkleman has a valuable lode of silver in Saddle Mountain District, in Pinal county, not far from the mouth of Deer and Ash creeks. An assay of the ore, by Chas. Dobler, at Pioneer, gave $367.6s per ton. The "pay streak" is about 15 inches, and the entire ledge is 3 feet, giving an average of $8O per ton. There has been considerable work on this (the Reed mine) within the past two years
Arizona silver belt., 1883-01-06

The utility of recording assessment work has been made apparent during the recent rush to jump and relocate mines. The cost is small, and it is a preventative against much useless, expensive and vexatious legislation. In this connection we want to say that the relocation of claims by original owners for the purpose of evading the expenditure of the $1OO required by law, is an injury to the camp, a wrong in itself and constitutes flaw in the title.
Arizona silver belt., 1883-01-06

Inasmuch as conflicting reports as to the incipiency of the melancholy affair which resulted in the killing of William Harnett by Thomas P. Kerr on Christmas night, at Pioneer camp, are still in circulation here, we felt it incumbent upon us to ascertain the tive points at issue: Did -Harnett knock Kerr down? Was Harnett armed?" and received negative an- swers to both questions.

THE JOHNNY BULL.
A Promising Copper Mine.

Among the copper mines that have a good name, based upon present ap. pearance, and a great future prospec- lively, few in Arizona outrank the Johnny Bull. We gather the follow ing from careful and reputable min. ing man:
 The "Johnny Bull" is situated on a strong vein in the San Simon District, New Mexico. It is owned by Mir. Henry, of the New York Herald, and the operations that are in progress upon it, are under the superintendent cy of an exceptionally intelligent gen. tleman, Capt. Mitchell. The ledge is 20 it. wide, with pay streak at a depth of 40 it., of 4 it. wide, which will average 51 per cent copper, and carrying as high as 100 OF. of silver and 8 OF. of gold-500 tons of ore are on the dump. The ore is self-fuxing, as has been proven by a test of several tons made by Vivian & Son of Swan sea, England, and who have made a liberal offer for the product of the mine. Ample water power to run a 50 ton smelter has been secured on the McGll ranch, a short distance from the mine. the property has been placed in the hands of a London syn dicate, for a large figure, and W. E. Parish, it is said-is examining the property in their interest.
 Adjoining this mine is the Jennie Mack, owned by Gen. Lew Wallace and Henry of the N. Y. Herald, which is showing up finely in gold, silver and copper. As both of these properties are close to the railroad, their value is assured.
Arizona silver belt., 1883-01-06

 The Takoma Copper Company have leased the Carrie smelter, and are re- pairing it and making alterations in its constructions previous to starting on ore from their mines. They have considerable coke on hand, and we ex- pect they will have continuous run of several months. They have plenty of ore, and for richness of quality it cannot be beaten in the district. Mir. Devereux is personally experimenting the operations, and he has the assis- tance of competent and gentlemanly subordinates.

A IL PERSONS, AND ESPECIALLY A the representatives of Edward Gleason, deceased, claiming an interest as co-Owners in the mining locations known as the Neva- da, North Star and Fairplay, all located in the McMillen Mining District, in the COun- ty of Gila, Territory of Arizona, are hereby notified that the undersigned, co-Owner in said mining locations, has done the assess ment work on them for the years 1881 and 1882. This, therefore is to notify said rep resentatives of the said Edward Gleason that if they fail to pay their share of said assessment work, together with the cost of this advertisement as prescribed by law, within ninety days after the expiration of this publication then their interest in said mines shall utterly cease, and become the property of the subscriber hereto.
