A dispatch from the City of Mexico says that the government is giving encouragement to all mining enterprises which may aid in augmenting thea gold produc- ton of the country. Two liberal concessions have been given for mining explorations and opera tions in gold deposits, etc. In the territory of Lower California and the state of Chihuahua entire free dom from taxation is granted for ten years. It is stipulated that the companies operating the mines under these concessions shall smelt three-fourths of all ore ex- tracted within the country, and for this purpose the companies shall build smelters. This is in pursuance of the policy for en- couraging the development of the home smelling industry. All re- cent mining concessions have con tained this clause, it being the policy of the government, as far as possible, to keep the profits of reducing ores in the country.

An interesting telephone case was recently decided in Indiana. The case came up on application of the Falley hardware company for writ of mandate, requiring the Central Union Telephone com pany to place instruments in its building at B a month. The con- pany endeavored to show that it was not furnishing private wires or private telephones, but that it established public stations throughout the city at which each person upon payment of five cents could be placed in communication with all portions of the system. The court held that the company was engaged in a general telephone business and was bound under the statute to furnish all persons applying for service with tele- phone and telephone connection and facilities at their place of business or fstore-room for the sum of s a month.

 The findings of the court martial that tried the five Apache scouts at San Carlos who were impli- .cated in the shooting of Al Sieber, and the outbreak that followed the shooting, have been published. The court sentenced each of them to imprisonment at hard labor for life. Gen. Howard, however, re- duced their terms of imprlson- ment to periods ranging from 20 to 2 years. It was thought by the average Arizonan that hanging was none too good for these red devils, but Gen. Howard is an Indian lover and of course wishes to protect his red pets. Think of it. Two years imprisonment for the permanent ;and seri- ous maiming of a faithful and gallant scout, the murder of Grace and Diehl,and the destruction of a large amount of stock and prop ertyl White men are hanged for such crimes as these.

In ten months, under the super vision Dr. A. Trippel, the Globe mine rendered a net profit of S82, GOO, with ore averaging sixteen per cent and refined copper at 10s cents per pound, in New York This result, in view of present ad- vanced price of copper, is very encouraging for the future, and a cause of congratulation, not only to the owners of the mine, but also to residents of Globe where the mine is situated. d.-Silver Belt.

 The Hawaiian kingdom is in a bad way. The island is distracted by contending factions of foreign officials, and it is feared that the trouble will not be settled without resort to arms. The country IS rapidly drifting from bad to worse, commercially and financially, and business is simply stagnant. Capi- talists will no longer invest their money there, and those who have done so are lamenting the fact, and seek every opportunity to withdraw it for investment else where. Planters and merchants find It almost impossible to obtain money at almost any rate or upon any island security. Railroad building, colonization and other schemes of any other character will not even be looked at, much less handled.

Senator Stewart introduced in the Senate to-day bill to author ize the sale to aliens of mineral lands in the Territories. It pro vides that nothing in the act of March 8, 1887, entitled "An act to restrict the ownership of real estate in the Territories to Ameri- can citizens," shall deprive per sons not citizens of the United States of the privilege of purchas- ing and holding mines of gold, silver, copper, lead, cinnabar and tin, after patent shall have been issued for such mines by the United States, but no alien shall acquire any right, title or interest in such mines previous to the is suance of a patent therefor.

A resident of Alaska, speaking of the mines there, says: The chain of islands, including Douglas island, 200 miles distant. from Naha bay, are nothing else but the tops of submerged mountain range. The mountain-tops, too, are quarries of low-grade gold ore, averaging, like the now famous Treadwell mine of Douglas island, from S5 to S6 a ton. It is a great field for heavy capitalists, but not a good one for men with no money. The Treadwell people had to in- vest S5OO,OOO before they got on a basis to make money. Their 12O- stamp m,ll, enabled them to make a profit. They are now realizing over $100,000 a month right along.

A London dispatch says that late details of the great flood in China make the story one of the most terrible in history. What was a beautiful and populous dis trict of 10000 square miles is now a rolling sea. At least 3,000,000 people are homeless and abso- lutely destitute of the barest necessities of life, while it is thought that the loss of life will reach 750,0O0. Everything in the way of figures is as yet, however, pure speculation, with the chances of total mortality far greater than the present estimates.

E. H. Cook is in receipt of a let ter from T. $. Bunch, dated Hol- brook, Dec. 18th, giving informa- tion of the coal deposit in Apache county. The vein can be traced for some sixty miles from a point near Cibicu creek north to within fifteen miles of the Atlantic and Pacific railroad. The coal is said to be A in quality and suitable for coking. MT. Bunch and others interested in getting a railroad built through that portion of Apache county are now having a quantity of the coal mined with view O. thoroughly testing its value for coking and for black smith purposes. A very fine belt of pine timber lies within the same area and parties are now in- vestigating the feasibility of build ing road to secure this timber, and Mir. Bunch is collecting all the information obtainable about the coal fields as an extra induce ment toward the building of the road. It is believed that a road can, without difficulty or unusual cost, be built from Holbrook over the mountain to Phenix Park, thence to Phenix, Maricopa county, taking in the coal and timber, and passing through Gila county. Mir. Cooks informant promises to send the result of the test to be made Silver Belt.
