crying for. but better papers. Suppose one of

a loss of 5000 day. had boldly announced that
it would raise its price to five cents, and pledged
itself to spend 5000 day in improvements is it
not likely the experiment would have been moro

WE call the attention of Mr.. Watterson and
of Mr. Mcdonald to the following extract
from speech delivered by Mr.. Henry B.
Payne on the Sth of january, 1888, just one
year before he was nominated by the Democ-
racy Of Ohio for United States senator The
speech was made at st. jackson banquet
Mr.. Payne said:
Frequently we hear Democratic speaker,
timidly, in a subdued voice, as though fearing
to compromise himself, advocate tariff for
revenue with incidental protection. Why
such indiscretion and cowardice, in view of
the inexhaustible and unreasonable resources
of our country III coal, iron, copper, wool, cot
ton, and corn, abundant under the fostering
care of the government to supply the wants of
not only present population of 80, 900, 900, or
the 100 900, 900 which many of you will live
to witness, but of the 500 100000 or 1,000,-
600, 900 which, in the probable future, the ma
tional census will enumerate and of
the populations Of Mexico and the central and
southern republics, whose markets ought long
since to have been opened for our manufac-
lures. 1t is difficult to understand why our
statesmen should yet hesitate and vacillate in
the discharge OF their duty. A iudicious tariff
is not one for protection only, nor for revenue
only, nor again for revenue with the Swallowed
outlines of an incidental tail appended to it,
but it is a tariff of both revenue and protec-
lection, one and inseparable, adjusted and per-
fected as to do instice to the great interests Of
the country and injustice to none"
Put this expression by the side of Mr.. Nc
Donald's piping incidental tall as Mr. Payne
expresses it, or even compare it with Mr. Nc
Donald's great Phenician speech before the
Democratic editors. Much comfort will Car
isle, Watterson, Mcdonald, Hurd & Co. aget

tn, eldest, has long, massive and jet
black hair, failing below the waist.
Miss Victoria, whose hair is the long
est worn by any woman In the
world, and the longest on record,
shows growth reaching to the
length Of seven and one half feet. Miss
Isabclla's hair, which is of exceeding
fineness, is more than six feet long. Miss
Grace is proud Of her endowment Of hir.
suite wealth, which reaches a length Of
almost six feet. Miss Naomi's hair,
which almost touches the ground when
she stands erect. is the most beauti-
full ever seen upon woman's
head; il is fully six inchts
through, and when spread out covers
her completely like q cloak; 1t is just
such hair as the fair Godiva. who rode
garmentless as to all else through Cow
entry, was gifted with. Miss Dora's
hair Is abundant and five feet long. Miss
Mary is the youngest. Her hair has
already attained wonderful growth,
and is rapidly tending toward such
length and massiveness as will make
it the most wonderful capillary deco
ration the world ever saw. Their
heads are their fortunes in moro senses
than one. In Kansas City hair dresser
offered 500 for Miss Victoria hair.
and in st. Louis ieweler paid 81 so for
single hair. by which he suspended ten
carat diamond in his shop window. They
are very careful in guarding the glorious
head adornments, as frequent attempts
have been made to cut their hair by
villainously inclined people, who. no
doubt, attempted the robbery with q
view to selling the spoils.

Copper In Grand Canyon.

We noticed, two weeks since, the de
parture of Charles Spencer and Mr..
Ridenour on a prospecting tour to the
vicinity Of Pine Springs and the Grand
Canon, about thirty.five miles northeast
from Peach Springs, in Prospect Valley.
In the Grand Canon they located the
Red Bird mine, and were on this trip to
do assessment work. They have put in
thirty foot tunnel, which shows three
foot vein Of 40 per cent copper ore, and
traceable for over l, 200 feet on the sur
face. Heretofore the only drawback
to the property has been its inaccessi.
bility, but now that difficulty is re.
moved, as they have discovered good
road and easy route, and plenty Of water
near at hand.
They also located this time the Red
Skin mine, which i, situated on the
northeast side of Prospect Valley. Here
they found copper croppings, with ap-
parent silver glance, and if the surface
can give any indication, they are conf
dent Of having a rich copper mine.
They also located in Prospect Valley
the Copper King, which es parallel
with the Grand Canon and nine miles
from the river. Distance from Peach
Springs, forty miles northeast. Surface
indications are limestone, and the width
of the groupings vary from four inches
to three feet. They find strata Of cop.
per which show large percentage, and,
from depth Of three feet, bring some of
the finest copper specimens We have ever
seen.
The owners are jubilant over their
find, and well they may be. The mining
property is located in Yavapai county
