The Clifton Clarion, in an article on the probable future of the copper mines in that locality, their handsome returns to their owners, and of the several promising mining districts in that section, expresses the belief that the copper bullion output will be trebled in another year. That the Clarion has goot. grounds for the pre- dictlon we have not the least doubt. Globe is another permanent camp that will increase its yield of copper bull lion. Good reports also reach US from the Ray camp, where they are taking out native copper in considerable quantities, aside from ordinary ore. The Copper Queen, which up to this date has surpassed all other copper mines in Arizona in the quantity of bullion produced, continues to yield all the ore that the smelters can make use of. There are also some fine copper mines in the southeastern cor ner of Yavapai county, which, ere long, may be expected to contribute their portion of copper bullion in Arizona, having in sight ore enough to, keep thirty-ton shelter running four years, to say nothing about fur ther developments. We have no doubt that the yield of copper bullion from Yavapai county, in the region of Prescott, will be greatly increased now that the. Atlantic x Pacific rail- way has been extended through the county. Copper mines exist in every county in the Territory, and the an. nual increase must be rapid and per- manent.

The Charity Hospital.

We publish elsewhere an address to
our people, together with list of ladies
and gentlemen appointed in various por-
tions OF our parish to act as committees
for the purpose of raising funds for the
Charity Hospital in New Orleans.
This noble institution, whose founder
if we remember correctly was a sailor,
has been the pride of New Orleans and
the State for more than fifty years. Its
charity, like the dew of heaven, goes
forth to all men, irrespective of nation
aIity or creed. Its mission is to relieve
human suffering. Within it's walls the
poor unfortunate emf grant, without a
home and without friend. has ever
found place whereon to lay his aching
head, skilled physicians to alleviate his
suffering and stay the inroads of disease,
and kind attendants-the Sisters of Cha
rity (heavenly messengers)-ever by
his bedside ready to minister to his
wants and whisper words of hope. No
wonder, i'll grateful remembrance of its
charities, the objects of its benefactious
have sung it's praises in every land, and
made it the pride of Louisianians.
Of late, however, the admissions have
greatly increased. At times more than
one hundred patients have nothing but
pallets upon the floor, every available
bed being occupied. 1t is the desire of
the Administrators to enlarge the build
ing and make other Improvements which
are Indispensable in sanitary point of
view. But they are without means, and
at the suggestion of our Governor they
call upon every person throughout the
State for contribution to carry out their
laudable purpose. If charity be the no.
blest quality in the human heart, never
was there a better opportunity for its
exercise. Give each according to your
means not grudgingly, but with the
assurance that thereby you will be max
ing yourself all tho richer for the con
scionsness of having done charitable
act brings with it happiness not to be
measured by dollars and cents. at is
better to give than to receive"

EDITORS OF THE COURIER:
We had some very heavy rains last
week. Rain fell on Wednesday, Friday
and yesterday Sunday. The fall of
rain on Friday was the heaviest We have
witnessed for years past. Bayou Beuf
rose some five feet since Friday. The
consequence ia all farm work ,s at
stand-still Corn looks we'll and grow
ing fast where not too badly drowned
out by the late rains. But little can be
said at present for either cotton or cane,
but, as far as we are able to ascertain,
the acreage planted in cotton will be as
large as that of last year, if not larger.
We are not posted in regard to the area
of cane planted. but think there is more
| land in cane than last season.
The Star Plantation has taken q step
ahead in the way of Improvement. This
place is owned by Messrs Miller g. Co.,
of New Orleans, but is under the able
management of Mr.. VIM. Bats, assisted
