 Owning, as he docs, large number of claims and many of them yield ing good ores, the furnace will soon pay for itself and also pay for working the claims.
 The mill on the Grand Canal Is pounding away with great energy and will very shortly demonstra.e what can be done with Winnifred ores. We prophecy that the result will be a larger mill and the opening up of that district at once. It shows fine silver and copper ores, of which latter there are several ledgcs that reach twelve feet in width and cer- -tainly show very rich samples, some of which are native copper. The silver is found principally in the form of black oxide in q favorable formation.
 Very little has been sad of the distric; bu: number of prospectors and mill men have been steadily working On it's promises for the past eighteen months and we believe their ende7vors are now to be fully rewarded. We wait the clean up of this first run of the mill with great inter- st, for if everything comes out well it means a mining boom for Phoenix.

SENATOR SEwELL has introduced a bill in Congress for the purpose oi recognizing the militia. The militia law now in force is that 1792 and requires that each militiaman shall be provided with Q frelock and bayonet, two spare fiints, q pow derhorn, a quarter of a pound of powder and twenty balls.
 The statesmanship at Washington inst has so soon discovered the ne csssity of new militia bill is somee thing extraordinary-one might say, startling. Even poor "Lo" in the wilds of :he Rocky mountains from British America far into Mexico has been shooting the most approved pattern of breech loading yifies and bali cartridges at least for th@past fifteen years and for some hgrtss> man to so suddenly drop on the idea of making onr militia laws conform to the progress Of the age is sort of cataclysm, of brain work that rather stuns the public and must be exceedingly exhausting 10 the un> fortunate individual whose mental grasp look in the situation.

ToPEKA, Kansas, ostracises from her society the school teachers Of that city; this includes the teachers of her public schools, those in her private schools and scminaries. The reason why is not stated more than that 1t is a freak of society. This condition of affairs does not prevail alone in Topeka. h many Of the eastern states the tendency is the same though not carried out. The prime cause of the peculiarly in so- ciety of rather disregardIng the school teacher has no doub: grown out of the fact that ability in school teacher has not been consider cd necessary and consequently the public in the great majority of cases has got what its temper indicated till the great mass of public schools from the Rocky mountains east are imbeciie and fsrcical in the ex- treme. The public has made these schools 30 and the public will con- tinue to debase them till an educa- ton will be disgrace to man, or till q man will be obliged to gather up what he can by himself without instruction, by driving out every teacher that deserves that name. Of course the places will be filled by the utterly incompetent and those driven intoihem by stress of circun- stances or who go into them without pride of character or position to eke out an existance.
 The teacher deserves the favor of society, the first place in it. The calling is the noblest and the first in civilization, and the community that abuses its teachers socially will reap a bitter reward in fighting the ignor- ance that must ultimltely prevail within it's borders.

IS Alabama somewhat northwes, of Montgomery stands the town of Birmingham, c ty now with ups wards of 15,O00 inhabitants. Twelve years ago the place where Blrming> ham now stands was as houscless and homeless as the most bleak mesa of Arizona \ few gentlemen with capital bought up sixty acres of land and laid it out into town lots. It was located on a railroad. They encouraged manufacturing capital to come to the place by mo t liberal offers of town lots, rights in a water power, etc. What is the re- sultS As we have said-a town of 15,000 inhabitants - manufacturire interests rapidly making their ap- pearance without further assistance and in various lines of business-the original stockholders in the venture of founding a city have drawn, in di-idends, just double what each put in and the stock itself has in> creased in value till to-day it sells for twenty>one times the original par value; in other words the stock has increased in value twenty-one hundred per cent. Anniston, Aia> bama, is another town of remarkable growth having some COCO inhabit> ants and being scarce nine years old. Roanoke, Virginia, is still another example of Q town founded five years ago and now numbers a pop uiatIon of 1000 We might go on pointing out such example but these will suffice. The application o1 these illustrations has already been anticipated by our readers. What we would say scarcely needs saying. The thinking man who has careful> ly considered the situation in our valley just at the present time sees that we are on the eve of eome just ss remarkable developments as those we have just mentioned. The cons ditions are all favorable. Our farm CTS however need to satisfy them. selves that they can raise an abund ance of cotton and sugar cane. Our town of Phoenix needs u keep it's liberal side to the world. If we would thrive as we ought we must encourage capital. If we would concentrate the business of the val ley here, we must be enterprising. Our valley now contains one of the finest opportunities in the southwest for manufacturing capital to make profitable investment and the oppor- tunity will not seek long for some one to take hold Of #. To enjoy the prosperity which such enterprises bring us, both enterprise and liher> ality must show themselves on our own part and we must take hold of such enterprises as will attract and fasten others to us-such as q rail> road for instance.

America should be free for all to come or stay, and Chinese or any other people should be welcome The statement was repeated to rep resentitive Budd, who said he was happy to be able to say that Gov enor Rice was further away from real facts in the case than he wal when he led the fight against tho i present law.

The bectolitic equal 25 gallons at Paris and at from 25 to 30 francs the hectolitic at the vine- yards, and these wines are bet ter than yours and less dear. Hcwevlr, we have found your white wine su- perrior to the red vine. It contins ues stating that as large quantities of American resistant vines have been planted in France, Algeria, Italy and other countries the proba-
 bilities of exporting IS still further reduced. Mir Bernard, however
 says that this country will probably
 be able to consume all the clarei made in California for some years to come.
