From the data in our possession we know that for the first half of the pres ent month the Arizona SamplIng Works, at Kingman, have paid out not less than S15,0OO to our miners for ore, and that before the end of the month We estimate, from the amount Ot ore already sacked on the dumps and awaiting trsnspOrta- ton, they will be called on tO pay out some S2J, 900 more. And this only repre- sents about one-hslf the ore shipped from our mines, as many of our ore pro-
 rucer5 ship direct tO Pueblo. Denver, ArGo and San Francisco. Hence We msy safely count on the produce of our mines for the present month as being between S6O.OOO and SIj,OJ0. When We consider that this large amount of mon ey can be taken out Tn one month by l50 or 200 cLlOriders, 1t will be readily seen that the reports of the richness Of our mines are not by any means over drawn.

General Miles has at last reached 9 practical solution of one of the most obstinate problems connected with tho successful prosecution of Onr Indian war. The trouble has been that the troops were loaded down with equip ments and baggage and couldn't travel with sufficient rapidity and ease, nor could they get far enough away from their base of supplies; sbut in the case of the soldiers just dispatched to tine MogOllons, Gen. Miles says that they will be in condition to 70 anywhere that a inner or a cattleman could; and will thereby be enabled to hold on tenac- iOusly to the Indian trail without the eve rlssting fear of getting too far away from their base of supplies. General Miles orders have 8 ring of earnestness and energy about them that sounds pleasantly to the ears of the people of New Mexico and Arizona. His policy will be energetic and thorough, and if the Apaches lurking in the Mogollons are not caught It will not be tor want of well-direeted energy on the part of the troops.-Journal.

Sight Restored by Fright.

Mrs. Chsrleshss for years been great sufferer from neuralgia, and one time was attacked with congestion Of the brain. From gradual failing sight the lady three or four months ago lost entire ly the use of her eyes and became blind.

HEAD Down. - About ten days ago
Canon Luisier and two servants, who went
out on an expedition narrowly escaped
exchanging the role of saviors for that of
victims. While still close to the Hospicc
the Canon heard a sound he knew only too
well-the thunder of a coming avalanche.
He bounded backward at the pas gymnas-
tique, shouting at the same time to the
two servants to do likewise. The ava
lanche passed without touching him, but
when he looked round his companions had
disappeared. The next moment, however.
one of them struggled out Of heap Of
snow. But where was the other? He
could neither be seen nor heard, and the
survivors felt certain that he was irrevoca-
bly, lost. After 4 second and longer look,
however, the Canon fancied he could see a
black mark on the snow some distance
away. They ran to the spot at once, and,
surely enough, the black mark was the lost
mans boot. The rest Of him was buried
under the avalanche An attempt to drag
him out by the leg failed-the weight Of
snow was too great. There was nothing
for it but to dig their companion out with
their hands. 1t was done only just in
time. He was quite insensible and recov-
cred with great difficulty. A few seconds
more and he would have persisted. The
mans name Is Collombier, and this makes
the third time he has been overtakcn by
an avalanche and rescued, as by a miracle,
from the jaws of DEATH London Times.

him far away from home, and tileth him

worth while to repeat that scarcely any
temporary phenomenon due to human ac-

caiyably be visible if it moved in dark

BY making minute maps, or, still better,
photographs, and comparing one year with
another, much however might have been
done by our lunar observer during this
