Mining ill Arizona.

Wonderful as has been the growth of mining in Colorado during the
 past few years honesty, and desire to do justice 10 all the mining States and Territories of tho West, compels us to admint that our southwestern nelghbor, Arizona,is almost as rapid ly advancing. From a total output of between eight and nine million dollars three years ago, she has ln. creased until the indications for the present year point to total produc
 ton of nearly twenty millions oi dollars. This will place her next to Coloradoin the class of bullion pro
 ducers. When tue many hardships and dangers surrounding the busi- ness of prospecting Tn a large DOT
 ton of Arizona are considered, won der ceases at the gross output and IS lost in admiration at She great value Of the mining districts which have been opened up. For, not in the ex- tent of explored territory does Ari
 zona excel, but in the exceeding rich ness of those found and operated. Only an infnltesimal portion of her precious metal districts have been discovered and that there are others equally as good cannot be doubted in the face of the many new accounts that are constantly coming in. Con corning the dangers attendant upon prospecting in Arizona, tLere used to be an old story to the effect that whenever an outfit was concluding preparations for a seasons work, the crows and buzzards for hundreds of miles around would assemble. They would roost in the trees and on pro- minent objects near by, and would commune among themselves as to the physical condition of the men and animals composing the party. With them 1t was only question of time. If the outfit survived the climate and water-or rather the lack of the latter-the Indians would murder them in the end, so it was all the same to the crows and buzzards. But all these dangers and difficulties did not deter the adventuresome pros pectors from following up the indi
 cations of mineral wealth, and while numbers died and fed the carrion birds with thelr flesh. those who did escape succeeded in opening to the eyes of the world a vast country whose mines will place it on a plane of prosperity equal to that enjoyed by the best, Indeed, even Colorado may have reason to look to her laurels; but knowledge of her ample resources and loyalty to our own home State and it's great mines, makes us content in the belief that she is abundantly able to do so.- Rocky Mountain Mining Review.

How He Guessed Her Weight,

A grocer grossly insulted Mrs. Me Gofin the other day without intend ing it, She was an immensely stout woman, and, stepping upon the scales, playfully requested the grocer to weigh her. As he was adjusting g the weights he remarked that she weighed 190 pounds, winch proved to be her exact weight. "How did you come to guess it?" she asked.

A mild rebuke: An Austin teacher overheard one of the larger boys in the class whispering to the boy below him that the teacher was a donkey. The teacher did not get angry at all. He d1d not seize the boy by the collar and draw hinl over the desk where he could get him conveniently. All the teacher did was to remark placidly; Harry, I shall mark you deficient in natural history, because you cannot distinguish me from a donkey."-Texas Slftings.

4H1nute, ana sometimes four smells. with thelr unearthiy schreeches were circling and curving through the air at the same moment. The shells weighed 2I5 pounds. Not one shell in twenty failed to burst, and they were equally sure under water. The thunder of those mortars, Tn contin- Uous reverberations, was distinctly heard, day and night, at New Or leans, seventy-two miles away. For six days and nights the iron tempest continued to rain in one incessaut battle. After the first days shelling the fire of the mortar fleet was con centrated upon Fort Jackson. At the close of the week the lombard ment had failed to reduce the forts. Farragut never had any faith in the mortars, and his patience had been sorely tried by the delay. He had made up his mind to run by the forts at the close of the fifth days bombardment, and the attempt was to be made in the night, April 23d and 24th. and as the moon would rise about 3:30 o'clock, the fleet was notified to be ready at o'clock. By some mysterious means the enemy were informed of the intended move ment and during the 23d scarcely a shot was fired from the forts. Fleet Captain Bell succeeded in severing the cable. At l :55 o'clock the signal to weigh anchor-two ordinary red lights at the peak of the flagship was displayed, but 1t was close upon 3:30 o'clock before the fleet was in motion.
 The feet advanced in two columns, one lead by the Hartford, the other by the Pensacola. The enemy were not taken by surprise, but on the con- trary had made every preparation for a warm reception of the fleet. One huge raft, pushed on by ther ram Manassas, forced the Hartford ashore and the flames streamed half way to her tops. But the vessel was backed off and the fire subdued by tue strenuous exertions of the we'll drilled crew. The thunder of over 300 guns from the forts, the rebel fleet and the attacking squadron, joined by the distant roar of the nor tars, created a cannonade that made the solid earth quake. A heavy sul- phurous cloud soon shut out all sur rounding objects and the gums crews watched for tue flash of their opponents guns as their only guide.
 BRAVO "BRooKLYN::"
 The Brooklyn in the darkness ran foul of the barricauing hulks. The next instant the ram Manassas, aid ed by the swift current, rushed out from the gloom, delivering her fire at less than ten feet distant As the shot pierced the planking the ram struck with a fearful crash, tearing away the starboard gangway. But the stout cable saved the ship and the ram, glancirg off, slid by, disap-

appearing in the darkness. The smoke of battle lifted, enabling Fort Jackson to concentrate her fire upon the noble vessel; at the same instant a large rebel steamer bore down on her port broadside, but one dis charge from the Brooklyn's guns re- duced her to a spllntered wreck Envaloped in smoke and darkness the Brooklyn steamed continuously ahead until the outlines of Fort Philip suddenly loomed up and the sharp eye of the commander roted at once his advantage. Unseen by the enemy he had the advantage of raking position and the entire broadside of the formidable vessel was poured into the work at short range. The storm of grape and can ister did we'll It's work of death and the men stationed in the tops assert ed that by the light of the bursting shrapnel they could see the garrison flying like a flock of sheep. Sheer ing off from the fort, the Brooklyn steamed into the midst of a group of gunboats and with broadsides man. ned continued the fight in gallant style until the battle was won.
 As tbe morning dawned the fire from fleet and fort slackened, Slow lY the dense cloud of smoke lifted and foated to leeward, disclosing a terrible scene of desolation and de- struetion. The wrecks of the rebel gunboats strewed the shore, with here and there the remains of an :ron plated vessel just visible above the turbid waters.

In a contest over a will a certain witness was giving his evidence as to the disposition of the testator. ''Was he a good natured man?" asked the attorney. Not altogether" "Was he cross then?" "Well, yes, rather, in places" Was he very cross?'' 'Considerable." "How cross was he? Give us an example of his dls- position" Well, sir, he was that cross that when he called up the COWS at milking time it made the milk sour." "That's enough. Stand down" .".-Merchant Traveller.

Juvenile Sea Heroes.

Two little heroes came to the front recently at the Columbia river. The particulars are as follows: A small schooner named the Alpha left Bakers Bay on November 12th an1 returned the same day, the Captain being sick. He sent a boy of F aboard to act as Captain, who with another little fellow of 8 years named Gable Gableson, got the craft under way. They sailed on the 24th, and in attempting to reach Tillamook next day, got in the breakers and both were washed overboa I'd. The older succeeded in getting on board again and then saved his companion and got the craft clear and went to sea, where they remained for eleven days short of provisions and for ths [ ''1t last SsEss isEss days, ha' .nothiHg whatever. to eat. They finally made tbe bar again and succeeded in crossing safely, and on arriving at Astoria they were taken ashore and kindly cared for. The little fellows were badly bruised and covered with boils.

Discomfort ON CANVAS PRAI-
RTE

The one hundred families that arrived
at Haley from Kansas the other day
with the intention Of settling on Camas
Prairie are said to be much displeased
with the country as they found it.
There was too much snow there and in
stead Of being able to begin spring
work at once, they will be compelled
to wait until the ground il in proper
condition. They blame the men upon
whose representations they were in
duce d to come to Idaho.
Now if these dissatisfied Kansans
could be induced to come to This part of
Idaho, they would haye no cause Of
complaint. Here they will find farmers
at work and seeding about over; vege-
tables above the ground; wild lands
adorned with the beautiful green OF
the native grasses; weather resembling
that of the early June of the state they
left; and a general condition Of things
worth staying for. They will ind
like Columbus did-what they want by
going fnrther west, the best hat of
which has never been told. But the
hardest thing is to get them TO believe
this and come here. ga burnt child |
breads the fire." and these people who
have been disappointed now may
think all Idaho is like the snow-bound
prairie they have run into.
Lat our people think OF the mattor a
few days, and then act promptly.
