MINING MATTERS.
Arizona Ore.

Prescott tArizona) Courier.
As this portion of Arizona is without gene
raj reduction works, owners of rich silver
mines have been compelled to ship their ores
to Pueblo, Colorado and Benson, in Southern
Arizona, in order to have them treated in n
proper manner. The cost Of shipping has been
and is vet, heavy tariff on the richest ores; ;
still We have not heard Of a single miner who
has shipped at n loss. This fact speaks well
for the richness of our ores. +. W. Blake, OF
the First National Bank was the first citizen
of Prescott to make the shipping Of ores reg
ular business. His efforts have, OF course,
helped our country and its miners He still
attends to the business for his bank and VIII,
We hope, continue to do so.
About the first of next August, Douglass
Gray, an assaycr and metallurgist, will com
mence purchasing all kinds of high grade ore
for the Boston ard Colorado Smelling Com
pany, of Argo, Colorado, and for the Kansas
city Smelling and Refining Company, of Ar
genta, Kansas. He is local agent for these
two companies and will have their active as
sistance In the matter of getting cheap freight
rates, etc. These two companies are entirely
responsible, as is, also, Mr. Gray. Assaying,
sampling, everything will be done on the
square, so that prospects are now fair for
more active mining and better times in this
part of Arizona. Mr.. Gray will make liberal
advances on all shipments OF the value OF SlOO
and upwards.
While the Courier would like to see the rich
ores OF our mines treated at home, II freely ad-
mits tnat, in our present emergency, the best
we can do with them Is to let Mr.. Blak" and
Mr.. Gray ship them to the general smelters.

Deep Mining without Historical support

Deep Mining without Historical support.
Mining Record,
We are pleased to see that Mr. Albert WI
liams, Jr.. geologist in charge OF the Division
Of mining Statistics and Technology, has
broken ground in opposition to the popular
fancy prevalent among mining men that min
eral bearing fssurc veins become richer as
depth Is gained, end has substantially assert
ed that "thc weight OF evidence Is altogether
in favor o, the conclusion that both as to
quantity and quality, the best ore bodies are
to be found comparatively near the surface or
sin the uppcrmost horizons OF mines" We
took precisely and decidedly this ground some
time ago, and have repeatedly insisted that our
position was so thoroughly sustained by the
history OF the mines of the Comstock lode and
other districts OF Nevada, not TO speak OF those
of Mexico, Peru and Bolivia, that really there Is
no excuse for the further enormous c1pcndi-
ture of money In explorations OF the mines 1f
the Comstock lode below 1900 feet. With Us
this Is not fruit OF theories touching the way
veins have been mineralized. Our conclusions
have been reached after a patient study, not
of the processes BY which nature has worked
in the naturalization OF vein matter. but Of
the history OF the subtcrranean localities In
which richly m!nerahzed matter has been
found stored awav during all these centuries
that man has been searching the .cccsses OF
the earth for such matter, whether silver or
gold. tin or copper lead or iron.
Our researches. as the -Kb,ing Record took
occasion at least two years ago to point out
have satisfied us that the gold and silver which
the United States have contributed to the
worlds stock Of the money metals have been
won from the earth at depth that will not
average to exceed 500 feet.

Stanley Again in England.

LONDON, July 28.--Henry M. Stanley
the African explorer, arrived at Plymouth this
evening In an interview with an Associated
Press representative Mr.. Stanley said he had
returned to England, considering that he had
completed his work Of establishing satisfac-
tory trading stations along the Congo River
from It's mouth to Stanley Pool, 400 miles by
river. He culogized the trading prospects OF
the country in the vicinity Of the Congo River
Mr.. Stanley considered that General Gordon
is in command Of perfectly practicable route
OF escape from Khartoum, whether by way Of
west coast, II the Nile is blocked.
Mr.. Stanley considers that General Gordon
can, rduring the present season, ascend the
Nile in steamers from Khartoum TO Gondoker,
distance Of 500 miles, in eight days, thence
proceed to Bapar and Ellgaheza, and join Lup-
ton Bey who commands four hundred troops,
and having in their possession R40.0O0 in
money. Gordon could then proceed with this
addition TO his force to Zanzibar. Should the
soldiers refuse TO take this Journey, or should
some other course prevent the plan, Gordon
could cross to Uganda, reach the Stanley sta
tfon and proceed down the Congo.
Mr.. Stanley believes that the sending Of .
large English force to extricate General Cor
don would be q most perilous undertaking,
and would likely be attended with great loss
Of life and expense. The troops would be un-
able to stand the climate. Mr.. Stanley CON-
mends the abandoning Of the Congo treaty.
He considers the leaving Of Congo in the
hands OF the Portukcse "a very infmical to
English interests. Mr.. Stanley was rendered
an ovation at Plymouth on his arrival.

tributed among the men now employed In
mining, in the production Of mine supplies,

earn any more in industries unconncctcd with

The question OF profit to owners as such,of

culation. IL the wages Of the miners are esti-
mated at s3O, ,OOO, 900, and the annual cost of

The COlOred People.

1t cannot be denied that there is
much uncasiness among the colored
people because of the election of Cleve-
land. Both at the North and the
South they seem to be depressed and
full of forebodings.
Nor can we wonder at their anxiety
When the last Democratic President
was in the White House millions of
these negroes were slaves. and were
utterly hopeless of release from their
bondage. At the North the prejudice
against the colored people was strong
almost everywhere, and they were sub
iected to great indignities M account
oft. They could not ride i'm public
conveyances along with white men
and women, and they were regarded
and treated as an outcast class. AT the
South the aversion to'them because of
their color was tar less, but they were
slaves and were looked on as little
above brutes. 1t was penal offence

they were bought and sold like cattle.

those poor people 10 therefore memory

The late election was rather rough
on those members of the editorial pro-
fession who dallied with the voters that

of whom he is which, is pretty well
told by the Salem Neus man:
We had the pleasure of meeting brother
Powell Of the Rolla Neae Era while in St
Louis this week. Bro. Powell, ike ourself
was defeated for the Legislature, and like
ourself is not shedding great many tears
nor tearing up things generally. There i.
absolutely no encouragement for men Of
ability and solid worth entering the politica
arena. Even Bro. Diggs, of the vienns

pie are not ready to employ the best talent
of the country either in the Legislative oil
Executive departments.

pect.
Mr.. James Mosby, living eight miles south
east of this place, met with very painful
accident last Saturday morning. A deer ran
across the road i'm front of him and In at
tempting to shoot it, the pistol was accident
" discharged, the ball striking Mr.. NJ. on
the palmer surface of the hand, entering be-
tween the flexor bTevis pollicis and adductor
pollicis muscles, passing in an inwardiy d.
rection under the anterior annular ligament
of the wrist joint, lodging between the styloid
process of the ulna and cuneiform bone OF
the earpus. Drs. n m, and Sam Proctor re-
moved the ball, and at this writing We are
glad to state that "Jim" is getting along well.
This overwhelming, bewilderingiy-
erudite diaphragm of the epiglottis OF
the case AS set forth is lusus naturali-
bus to unscientific minds, no doubt;
but to US, bless you, it's clear as the
Aforementioned skies of cloudiess
harvest morn. We might go ahead
and elucidate for the brethren, general
ly, but we shall not. Let them stop
talkin' politics and study "pollicis'and
..carpus" and other useful things: then
they'll know how scientific knowledge
Is attained.

OF bondage, of degradation, and terri
BILE Injustice. Under Republicanism
they were made free and admitted to
citizenship, and consequently both
their self-respect and their Importance
in the eyes Of the whites were much
increased. Any one who remembers
New York quarter of century ago,
and recalls the colored people as they
were then, must be greatly impressed
by the improvement in their condition
which has taken place within that
time. 1t is true that they are still a
race apart, and that the tendency is
rather toward the Strengthening than
the obliteratior of the African type.
there are fewer mulattoes now than
before the war, and under freedom the
increased self-respect and greater pride
of the negroes lead them to still more
preserve their exclusiveness.
But in social consideration they have
gained vastly, and the humiliations
from which they once suffered at the
hands of the whites they are now
spared to large extent. They are
not kicked about as they were in the
old days, but IRE treated with decent
respect, though the prejudice against
them remains, and is. indeed, ineratii-
cable.
OF course the memory of that period
is painful and a terrible one to the
colored people, and their "reminiscences
of those dark days are associated with
memories of Democratic rule. Democ-
racy reca lis slavery to them, and the
word Sounds harshly in their ear. I'm
der Buchanan they there chattels; un-
der Arthur they are freemen and
American citizens.
But the negroes have no real occa-
sion to indulge in gloomy forebodings.
| So far from Cleveland's election being
disadvantage for them, We do not
doubt that of all the people they will
be the greatest gamers by it. Their
freedom is assured, and as citizens and
voters they are as important to the
Democratic party as to the Republican
party. AT the South especially their
condition is likely to be much inlprov-
ed, for the whites have now had their
way, and will be less disposed to regard
them with suspicion and to treat them
with political injustice. 1t is an era OF
good feeling in the South. The whites
are no longer irritated against the
blacks as successful political enemies;
and it is manifest from the Southern
newspapers that they are already
anxious to give the negroes indubtable
proofs of their friendly disposition to-
ward them. We expect, therefore, to
see the relations between the two races
growing steadily more and more cor
dial, until at last there shall be no color
line in politics.
1t will be great step in advance ror
the colored people when they divide
politically as the white people divide.
They will command more respect when
it is seen that they are not, as mat
ter of course, mortgaged to one party.
The principle of Democracy, the prin-
ciple which commends it to the great
body of wage earners, deserves and
must receive eventually the hearty
support of the colored people.
Instead of sorrowing because of the
election of Cleveland, let them rather
rejoice, for it gives promise that their
l han do rxrrt no hrnB at NJ

Says the Doniphan Prospect: News
Of case of poisoning comes from Nee
lyviile. A lady giving her name as
Mollie Meyers, was the unfortunate.
She was found i'm her room at hotel
Reynolds, on Wednesday morning, ex-
ceedingly sick. An investigation OF
the case by physician revealed the
fact that she had taken arsenic either
with suicidal intent or through mis-
take, thinking it quinine. At last ac-
counts her life was despaired Of. The
lady came from Jonesboro, Ark, and
was bound for this place, on visit to
her step father, Mr.. Tyson, living a
short distance from our town."

The man who will introduce bill in the
Missouri Legislature this session to prevent
double taxation, and pass it, will write his
name high on the roll Of fame, and receive
the thanks of every person who loves justice
and right.-Courier- Cultirdtor.
Yes, and the other man who will in
troduce some sort of measure that
will compel our State Board of Equali-
cation to assess railroad property at
somewhere near its actual cash value,
will not be left off the roll of honor.
There is too much truth in the Repub-
lican charge that in Missouri railroad
corporations are favored at the expense
of other taxpayers. 1t made US feel
uncomforta BILE during the late CAM
paign, and We do not remember that
any Democrat attempted its refutation.
