THE HERO OF GETTYSBURG.
Death of General Winfield s. Hancock, a
 Governors Island, New York.

Death of General W Ninileid 6. Hancock, al
 Governors Island, New York.
 Major General Hancock died at 7:3s D. m., on Tuesday, Feb. 9th, at his quarters on Governors Island, in New York harbor. His death was the result of malignant carbuncle on the back of his neck, which had confined him to his bed for several days. Last week he was in Washing ton, bu. was obliged to leave without paying his respects to the president, on account of the swelling on his neck, which caus,d him considerable pain. The general has been alling for some time past, and 1t was known that he was suffering from Bright's disease of the kidneys, which proba- bly, reduced his system so that he could not stand the loss of vitality, caused by the constant suppuration of the carbuncle, which prevented rest or sleep.
 General Hancock was born at Nor ristown, Montgomery county, Penn. sylvania, on Feb. I4th, 1924, there fore he lacked five days of being G. years old. He was sent to West Point when sixteen years of age, and among his contemporaries there, were Grant, Mcclellan, Rosecrans, Reynolds, Ly- on, Longstreet and Stonewall Jackson. He fought terough the Mexican war, and was breveted major for bravery at ChcrubusCo. At the outbreak of the rebellion he was stationed at Los Angeles, when he reported at Wash ington for active duty and was made a brigadier-gen" For four pears he was with the army of the Potomac, and held commands at the battles oi Williamsburg, Frazier's Farm, South Mountain, Antletam, Fredericksburg Characteristic and Gettysburg. IL was Hancock who chose the spot on which the battle of Gettysburg was fought, and commanded until the al rival of Meade. He was the most conspicuous figure in that desperate fight until he was shot and fell from his horse almost mortally wounded This wound kept him from active ser vice for nearly year, but he was able to join his command before the war was over and take conspicuous part in Grants Virginia campaign.
 In 1880 he was nominated for Presi dent of the United States on the dem ocratic ticket, but was defeated by Garfield, the republican nominee. He went into and came out of bit ter personal campaign with an unsul- lied reputation. Malice could not invent anything that would even look like blot upon his fair name.

THE NEEDLES.
A Description of the Fertile Basin at the
 Western Boundary of Arizona.

Editorial Correspondence CHAMPION.
 THE NEEDLES, Feb. Sth, ISS6.- Distance that lends entertainment to doubtful bit of landscape, as well as to maidens of uncertain age. is no less applicable to modern bonanzls and to the actual merits of certain locali ties that are being advertised through out the West. We hear more in Flag staff of placer fields and silver-bear- ing lodges "around The Needles, " than is possible to hear among the mining men of this locality and its surrounding camps. The country lying adjacent to The Needles IS of sedimentiary formation, borne in minute particles from the surrounding mountain heights that encompass the great basin in which the town is cen trally located. The soil is exceeding ly fertile and the climate tenpetate and regular to such a degree that two three crops are grown within the year. The town Is destined to be- come one of the most prosperous on the sun shine route. There are prob ably few localities capable of growing like quantity of different produc- ton. Without entering into the pos abilities of this fertile basin I will enumerate what has been grown for market and local consumption. Wheat barley, corn and oats, cotton, sugar cane, rice and tobacco; ,urnips, pota- toes, beetS. radiSheS, and all kinds of root vegetables; peas, beans, and ma ny varieties of relshes are grown throughout the year. There is prob ably greater returns Tn store for the company that will cultivate this fertile basin, than for the spectators and capitalists who will eventually invest Tn mining properties In the surround ing mountains.
 The mountain districts adjacent 10 The Needles are rich in minerals, and no one Conversant with its location and the difficulties to be overcome before It can be thoroughly proSpected, can doubt that The Needles will in the future become d prosperous min, Ing centre. At present 1t Is no place toa the impecunious prospeclon (the man who stands ready to guarantee a forty thousand dollar bonanza in con- sIderation for seven do!isr "grub stake "), but for an earnest, thorough going man of experience, who poses Ses a few hundred dollars, it Is a sec ,ion that may be recommended.
 Twenty-four miles from The Nee. dles, and about ten miles from the railway, MessrS. Heise, Edmonson, and others, recently located some sil- verbearing lodges, and have been getting out ore for shipment. Three tons ot the ore sent to MT. Dennis at Kingman assayed from 500 to SI2o per ton. Mir. M. D. DArkin, who was selected to accompany the "mlll run" to Klngman, has just returned to report the gratifying result to his as, sociates. The ore is free from refrac- tory minerals, and chased as silver bearing galena. There are but few miners working in the placer claims, which are situated about twenty. four miles south of the town. They report ample returns. Water and forage is scarce, and the prospector should bring burros in preference to horses.
