LETTER FROMKINGMAN.

i EDITOR MNFR:- Your very elaborate ac- count of the new siding in Wallapai valley Tn your last issue, was a surprise to your Kingman readers. We are all gl ad Mir Hardy has built siding, and yOGr account of it is true with the following slight ex- captions: There is not the first indication of a siding being nut in; Mr. Hardy has not built a road to 1t, nor do we believe the rail. road comp ny has any intention of putting in a siding until they make improvements where they are much more needed than in the Wallap4i valley. And while we would only bo too glad to see a siding built Cor anything else that would benefit the min pany do son ng for Kingmau in the wy of a depot or platform. At pres ent we would re thankful for platform With one exception this is the best freight station on the road, and yet we have been sadly negle ,ted in the way of Improvements, but We manage to get along without them and business goes on just as usual.
 We note an improvement i'll business and this nag bssn a profitable week for he mer. chants.
 Arrangements have been perfected for the transfer of all freight across the river with out delay, the steamer Mohave having been chartered for that purpose.
 Messrs. Chamberlain, Hall and Aliyns left on Monday nights train for Albuquer- que.

TsIe Corbat NEiII,

Six men have been at work on the Cerbat mill for over two weeks past, putting 1t in perfect order. The mill started up on
 Thu sday with about 1J0 tons of ore to commence on. Among the shipments al ready contracted for by this mill we note twenty tons from the c. o. D. mine, be- sides several smaller lots from mines Tn the same basin, five tons of ore from Joe Lab aree's cl tim near Stockton. wiCh consider able second grade ore, fifteen of twenty tons from the Prosperity mine in Todd Basin, owned by Caldwell Wright and J. P. Layne, while Win, Sherman sends a couple of tons from the southern extension of the same mine as a sample. In addition to this there are about 30 tons of ore from the Cerbat mine already at the mill and about 50 tons at the Paymaster ready to be hauled down. Many other miners have promised to send in shipments of ore aud by next week Cerbat will present quite lively sp- pearance. The prOprietcrs of the mill are we'll and favorably known in this commu. nity and have had large and varied ex. perience in milling ofes and if they cannot make success of It we don't know wko can. We wish them all the success possible. and in conclusion say, that the gentlemen who have leased the Cerbat mill mean business: they know what they are about: they pro- ppse to give the boys 3 fair and square deiI on every oco7sion, nd they rromise never to hang up the sta<lps as long as they have a pound of ore to run on. It tests with the miners of Wallapai district whether the Cert at mill shall run year in and year out or not at all.

MINING IN MOHAVE.
WHAT OUR MINERS ARE DOIE-G IN THE DIFFEHENT DISTRICTS OF THIS
 COUNTY.

Messrs. Roe, Elliott and Luthy. who late
 ly leased the Paymaste mine, have already
 put the main shaft in order and put in .
 platform above the water level. Trey have now force of eight men at work stopping and drifting in the upper levels under the foremanship of Henry Elfers. The force will propably be increased very shortly.
 We need two or three smelterS like the enc at Benson in this county.
 Austin ana five other men are grading a road up to the timber in the charcoal canon near Cerbat, for the purpose of sup plying the mill with wood. Joaquin Acosta and three Mexioan9 have already con- menced putting in wood to the mill.
 The new smelter at Planet is in running order and already ten tons of bullion have been turned out. There are over fifty men employed in and around the shelter.
 B. H. Spear has sold his interest in the Paymaster mine to Elliott. Roe and Luthy
 ". H. Hardy has eight men at work on the Infallible mine at Stockton. The new tunnel which he started short while since is ill about 120 feet and is being driven at tue rate of six to eight feet per day. If there is any one thing better than another that Hardy is good for it is driving in a tunnel It would be well for this county if there were more men in it of like enterprise.
 Richard Hicks and James Oliver, two Cornish miners and recent acquisitions to this district, have leased the Pennsylvania mine in Todd Basin of Capt. Layne for one year, and will at once start to work on it. l They have also bonded the mine for the | same time for the sum of S15,0OO. We have 10 doubt that if the mine is properly and | worked that the purchase l price cat be gotten out of the ore extracted 1 II six months. in thls connection we may 1 'emaEk that there are hundreds of just such | claims as the Pennsylvania in Mohave coun- y ready for parties to lease on very favor lble terms. We have more m1nes than We nave men to work them.

Crying 10 Hear bate.

The happiest hit of the season was
made by lady at Waverly the day
Gov. Bate and Judge Reid spoke
there. The Judge became very nerv-
Gus at the crying OF baby, and asked
il it could not be made to stop crying.
Its mother pacified the child, and it
was still awhile, but it began crying
again, and the Judge said; "Let that
child be taken out, it has no business
at a public speaking" The mother
promptly said "sir, my child is cry
ing to hear Gov, Bate speak" The
Judge looked an unutterable look, as
if he wished he were a baby, and a
"girl" baby at that, as an old Con-
sfederate said when he was about
to go into fight."-Memphis Ledger

A Tribute to Cleveland.

But what tribute to Governor
Cleveland is this persistent attempt to
make capital against him by the pro-
duction OF stories raked from the rub
bish heaps OF scandal-mongers. Gov
ernor Cleveland is now forty-seven
years old, and was first known in pub
lie life fourteen years ago. He was
Sheriff of his county, Mayor Of his
city and is Governor of this great
State--executive head of Common
wealth greater than some OF the ia
nous monarchies of the Old World
Had Blaine held these offices his ad.
ministrative history would have been
simply a picturesque array of services
done to great corporations and 10
wards received for those services
One term in Albany would have steep
ed him to the eyelids in official cor
ruption. But against Cleveland Re
publican opponents cannot make on
the history OF one crooked dollar
They cannot even hint at briber,
against him; and while they gloa
over what they call Democratic di
vision, they go delicately about it, be
cause they know that his Democrat
ic" opponents are against him onl
because Of his downright honesty i
office. In short, the scandal tactic
are a glaring admission that Clevt
lands official record is unassailable.-

Texas siftings.

"Here we are. Walk right in; only
ten cents to see a Twin human bein'
without any backbone"
"Great Scott Has it come to this?
/ knew jim Blaine would do
almost anything, but l didn't think
he'd exhibit himself in a dime mu-
scum"
1t was while passing a dime muse
um, the other day, that we overheard
the above. 1t occurred to us that it
was not surprising that man should
think of James G. Blaine, the Repub-
lican candidate for President, when
he heard of human being without
any backbone. When we think OF
Blaine's public life, and glance over
the record he has made, we cannot
help noticing quite number of places
where he exhibited himself as hui
man being without any backbone.
When Gen. Butler, with a very rigid
spine, sat at the door of the committee
room, waiting to upbraid Blaine for
having given to another an appoint
ment that Blaine had promised to
him, and when Blaine, fearing to
meet Butler, crawled out OF the win
dow of the committee room and es-
capped by back stairs, he must
have been suffering from an absence of
vertebre.
| When he wouldn't face the Mulligan
letters inquiry in the House, and tried
to dodge it by getting himself trans
ferred to the Senate, backbone was
lacking there.
, When he went down on his knees
to Mulligan, and begged him not to
expose ami ruin him by showing the
celebrated letters, his backbone was
either absent or wonderfully
timber.
When, few weeks ago, he declined
! voting for or against the prohibition
y amendment to the Maine Constitution
his backbone was conspicuously alb
o sent.
What pitiful exhibition OF the lacl
OF backbone there is in the lately pub
lished Dear Fisher letters, wherein h
= asks his friend to save him, implore
@ him to come to his help, and beg
y him to burn certain letters that mi gh
g show up in damaging light tn
transactions between them.

ing more in a man than backbone, o

LONDON, Sept. 2G.-William Henry
Hurlbert, formerly editor of the New
York World, Dem, this afternoon sent
the following cable dispatch to Sena-
tor Mcdonald, of Indiana:
LONDON, Sept. 90.
]. f. MCDONALD, Indianapolis:
1t is not true that the leading Brit
ish newspapers favor the election of
Governor Cleveland and deprecate
the election of Blaine. British COM
mercial interests demand the election
of Blaine and practical British export
ers admit this to me- The system of
Federal taxation represented by Mr..
Blaine has given England the mar
kets of the world. Rnglishmen know
that American exports are steadily de-
clining and that American manufac.
turers represent only fourteen per
cent. of these exports. Englishmen
know that American production has
outrun our capacity of home consump-
ton. Englishmen know that Demo-
cratic reform, extending the free list
Of raw materials, would so diminish
the cost of American production rs to
drive English goods out of foreign
markets, increase the output of Amer
lean factories, enhance the demand
for intelligent American labor and
raise the wages of American working
men. Democratic reform means death
to Federal taxation, under which
American exports have fallen off $SS,
OO0, 900 in value since 1888 and $162,
600 900 in value since Mr.. Blaine came
into power with the late President
Garfield in 1880.
This Federal taxation feeds the ex
port trade Of england. What wide
awake English newspaper, then, cal
advocate the election of Mr.. Cleve
: land? Englishmen know it is thi
I Federal taxation which handicaps tn
well-paid, intelligent labor of Americ
as French protection now enables En-
+, glish labor to undersell France in tn
markets of French Africa. English
men admit that under reformed Dem
, ocratic taxation American labor Nigh
