An Interesting Lion Story.

The memory of the lion was pre-
served in its ancient haunts long after
it had become extinct. The scena OF
one of the prettiest stories told by
ELAN is laid in Mount Pang9um,
which, from its mention by Aenophon,
must have been a famous haunt OF
lions. Eudemus tells the tale
that in Pengaum in Thrace a hear
attacked the lair of lion, when it was
unguarded, and killed the whelps that
were too small aud weak to defend
themselves. And when the father
and the mother came home from hunt
ing somewhere, and saw their children
lying dead, they were very much 'ag.
grieved and attacked the bear; bLl
She was afraid and climbed up into "A
tree as fast as she could, and settled
herself down, trying to avoid the at
tack. Now, when they saw that they
could not avenge themselves on her,
the lioness did not cease to watch the
tree but sat down in ambush at the foot
eyeing the bear, that was covered witt
blood. But the lion, as it were, with.
out purpose and distraught with grief
after the manner of man, rushed of
to the mountains, and CHANGED to light
on wood cutter, who in terror let tal
his axe; bvt the lion fawned upon him
and reaching up, saluted him a
we'll as he could, and licked hi
face with his tongue. And the mar
took courage. Then the lion encirclee
him with his tail, and led him, and die
not suffer him to leave his axe behind
but pointed with his foot for it to t.
taken up. And when the man di'
3 not understand, he took it up in hi
mouth and reached it to him. The
he followed while the lion led him I
his den. And when the iioness sa,
2 him, she came and made signs, look
ing at the pitiable spectacle and the
up at the bear. Then the man pei
ceived and understood that the lilo
S had suffered cruel wrong from tn
bear, and cut down the tree wit
might and main. And the tree feel
: and the lions tore the bear in pieces
but the lion led the man back agail
e safe and sound, to the place where
had lighted on hiw, and returned hi
G to the very tree he had been cuttin;

The interview lasted but few
minutes, and Mr.. Kelley took his
leave, and Mrs Haskell returned
to her husband. She is a woman
small in stature, with bri ght dark
eyes and dark hair, and wearing
one of those couutenances always

where SO soon her husbands life
was to be taken from her, her eyes
glistened with tears. She went to

THE PRICE OFLEAD.

AS our ores generally carry heavy
Of lead, the mine-owners of
Wood River are anxiously watching
the fluctuations in the price of that
metal, on the New York market, and
indulge ia many speculations concern
ing its probable value throughout the
year. This is easy to forecast. Lead
is a metal so generally known and
used, and the demand for it-aside
from the increase which might result
from sudden and unforeseen inquiry
for it-so steady, that any person in
terested in fi,.ding out can readily fix
upon the two possible extremes--the
highest and lowest in price.
As foreign lead can be landed in
New York in practically unlimited
quantities for $4.55 to $465 per 100
pounds, these figures can safely be &C
cepted as the maximum price which
maybe obtained for it. 10 be sure,
there may be temporary scarcity,
caused by the delay of expected ship
ments, ETC., but the consequent en-
hancement in price would be of such
short duration that the producers in
the Far West could not expect to
realize much benefit from it; and in a
matter Of this kind, we must take into
account, to be within the reckoning
only average rates obtainable under
average conditions. The price of for
eign lead must therefore be accepted
rs the utmost possible limit of valua
ton of the domestic product.
AS to the lowest price possible TO
lead to go-always under ordinary con
ditions--it is evident that must be thu
cost of producing the metal and land
ing in the New York market. A
long as lead sells in New York for s.
per 100 pounds or more, the Missouri
and other United States mines ca
produce it at profit; when the pric
gets below 81 they cannot, and az
compelled to cease producing, partl
or altogether, until the market re
covers. Here, then, we have a poin
upon which to fix basis of minimu,
price.
To sum up: Foreign lead can b
bought in New York for $4.55 I
S4.65; domestic lead cannot be pr,
duced for less than ~. 1t is there
fore evident that lead must tluctua,
between 81 and S4.65.
At the lowest rate just stated, tt
lead mines can barely be kept in OF
Grafton. But such is not the ca.
with the silver-lead mines, howevc
With these, and even on Wood Rive
where the cost Of mining, smelling
etc, is so great, the lead in the o.
usually pays for the expenses, leavi'
the silver as net profit.
We therefore feel safe IN Stair
that our mine-owners can, with pc
feet confidence, estimate the val,
of the lead in their ores at about
per 100 pounds, or $50 per ton
New York City. At that rate tn
can all do well, even with 5O-oun'
orc, provided it is not altogether t.
rebellous.

Itis almost inconCeivable that some Eastern editors, who pretend to be scholars. and who have unlimited fa- eilities for acquiring information, write as they do on the subject of mining. They seem incapable of comprehending gsthat $1,OOO dug from a mine is of infinitely more conse- quence to the world than pile of wheat which in the granery will bring $1 ,0O0. The fact that the more wheat that is raised, the less price it will bring, while the more gold and silver that is dug from the earth, the great CT price all other things will command, presents something which they cannot or will not understand.

News was received here about a year ago that I. B. Kerr had been hung by vigilantes in Arizona. It now turns out that the report was false. A few days ago Dr. Curless re- ceiyed letter from Mir.

 Thomas P. Kerr, was suspended by the neck for twenty. hours to limb of tree, at Pioneer, Gila County, Arizo- ma, Christmas eve. 1882, for the mur- der of William Hartnett, his fifth vic tim, by judgment of a citizens court The name given by the Truckee Re. publican is T.

Some papers seem to think thstathe Resources of Arizona" was got581tu tup especially for the edifcation of the people of this Territory, and that the edition should be scattered among the several counties. A glance at the act authorizing the publication will
 buse this impression. Itpro3
 the Commissioner shall "disfffbute said pamphlets in the cities and rail- road centers of the Easters states, and on the Pacific Coast, in such manner as will give them the widest and most useful circulation, and the Con- missioner is further required to keep a "correct account of the number dis tributed by him, and such information in connection herewith as he may deem of interest, and make a report of the same to the governor at the meet ing of the next legislature" This is the law under which MT. Hamilton is acting, and he must be guided by it. The object of the publication is to give the outside world correct idea of Arizona. and its vast possibilities, and this can only be accomplished by a proper distribution of the work. He has, however, forwarded copies to par ties all over the Territory, who have made application for the same, after being satisfied that the books were to be sent abroad. A large number oi copies are now being sent out among cattle-men in Texas, Montana and Wyoming. Monied men Tn the East. ern cities, interested in mining. are also being reached, and it is the pur. pose to forward copy to every sena' tor and representative in the present Congress. Under the careful and iu dicious method of distribution adopted by MT. Hamilton, the work is sure tc be of vast benefit to Arizona, and i the last legislature had put the rest O the public money expended to sucl good use, it would have deserved bet ter of the people.-Phenix Gazette.
