AriZopa derives its chief i'm pOrtance now from its mining in- duslry, and fittingly the largest space in lis exhibit at New Ore leans is occupied with 5O,00O spe- cimeps of minerals. Gold, silver, copper, lead, iron and other ores make up this collection of mine- rals, which will probably be the finest on the exhibition grounds, with the exception Ofthat Of Mex
 ico In the foreign department. Since the Apaches have become quiet, prospecting and mining have received a great impetus in Arizona. The mining product fell off some last year, owing tu the strike among the miners in the ombstOue district. For a long time they refused 10 accept reduction of daily pay from S4 to s, but finally gave in. The largest mineral specimen in the exhibit is piece of copper ore, contaiaing B per cent, of copper and weighing 7,300 pounds. Il was taken out 100 feet below the surface in the Bisbee country Some other specimens of copper ore show 5 per cent. of copper Since the mission fathers long ago unearthed one nugget of pure sil' yer which weighed 2700 pounds the leading mineral in Arizoni has been silver. Lately cOrpeI mining has assumed almost equa importance, and many consider
 it will yet take the lead. In 18S' the yield of copper was 100000 pounds, while last year it Wa i 25, 5,0G0,000 pounds. In ten year
 the shipments of bullion hay' increased from S100,00 to 5000.

A Man and a Brother.

Among.recent dispatches from the East following is the most conspicuous:
 The Chinese residents of Indianapolis wound up their New years festivities, which were OF a more extended scale than usual this year, with an elaborate banquet at the Presbyterian Church, for which they provided the least largely from the products of their native land About 200 persons sat down to the taSle, among them being Vice -President-elect Hendricks, Gov Gray, Mayor McMasters, number of legislators and other pro- minent citizens. Toasts were responded to by several guests, including those nam- ed, and the programme was varied by several exercises in Chinese and En- glish.
 Well, in the language of the boys, "this just takes the whole bakery!" Just think of the Democratic Vice. -President-elec eating bird's-nest soup and rice with chop>sticks. with a lot of al- mond-eyed, pig-tailed, heathen Chineei If the Indianapolis CelestiaIs were of the tony kind of which the Burlingame Em- bassy was composed; or Of the res- pectable kind representing the Six Chinese Companies of San Francisco, our nerves would not have been so completely un- strung by this escapade of Mir. Hendricks, but as it is not pre- sumabe that the Indianapolis Chinamrn out>rAnk those of Yuma. or Of any other town in the Territory, whose occupation it is to renOvate sOiled liren and wrestle with pots in the kitchen, this news breaks Us up entirely. It makes us feel bad-nOt so much on account ofself as because our naturally sympathetic nature reaches out in commiseration to our Democratic contemporaries in the Territory Any attempt at levity on account of their present humiliation ought to lay the per petrator thereof liable 10 prose cution for excessive cluelty tO- Democrats. Now that the Dem ocratic Vice. President-elect has in so public a manner testified his recognition of the fact that a Chinamen "is a man and broth er," it is to be hoped the Democ
 racy of Arizona will ta.Ae due notice thereof and govern them selves accordingly.

Mr.. Edward Hanlan, the great oars
man, and until his recent contest

looked upon as an authority in
everything affecting athletic sports.
Before leaving Australia for this
country, he wrote letter In which
he stated that he had used
st. Jacobs Oil with the most benefi-
cial results. He found it a reliable
remedy for muscular pains in the
arms and limbs, and from his perso-
nal experience took great pleasure
in recommending it. No stronger
proof of the truth of what Is claimed
for st. Jacobs Oil could be furnished
than this, and it will undoubtedly
carry great weight with all thought
ful and intelligent people.

the yield was 1850, 791 centners, while
