The recently reported strike of gold ore in the Table Mountain mine is fully confirmed, and from samples of ore sent in by Capt. Jack Burgess and dis played in MT. Chas. R. Drake's office, we are inclined to think that Messrs. Drake, Galloway and Burgess have the better part of the world Capt. Bur gess informs us he has cross-cut, at q depth of 90 feet, through p feet of ore which samples SS6. 40 across the ledge. The ore is a red oxide of iron, carrying from ' to IA per cent. copper. and is soft and friable, and the gold in the ore is pronounced by, all examining experts to be perfectly Tree milling. We can- not estimate the value of this find to Tucson,, as it will undoubtedly cause the erection of two more plants and the machinery and supplies must come via Tucson and be handled by our local merchants. s.-Citizen-

Clarence F. Dutton, of the U. S, Survey, in one of his reports, says that "Those who have long and carefully studied the Grand Canon of the Col orado do not hesitate for moment to pronounce it by far the most sublime of all earthly spectacles If its sub limity consisted only in its dimensions, it could be sufficiently set forth in q single sentence. It is more than 200 miles long, from to 12 miles wide, and from 5000 to 5000 feet deep. There are in the world valleys winch are longer, and few which are deeper There are valleys fanked by summits loftier than the palisades of the Kaibab. Still the Grand Cancn is the sublimest thing on earth. It is not alone by vir- ture of it's magnitndes, but by virtue of the whole its ensemble.

Why Many Editors are skcpties.

One of the greatest trials of the news paper profession is that its members are compelled to see more of the shams of the world than any other profession. Through every newspaper office day after day, all the wickedness of the world; all vanities that want to be re- paired; all the mistakes that want to be corrected; e,l the dull speakers who want to be thought eloquent; all the meanness that wants to get its wares noticed gratis in the editorial columns, in order to save the tax of the adver- tising columns; all the men who want to be set right who were never right; all the cracked brain philosophers with stories as long as their hair, and as gloomy as their finger nails in mourn ing because bereft of soap--all the bores who come to stay minutes, but talk five hours.
 Through the editorial and reportorial rooms all the foliies and shams of the world are seen daily, and the tempta- ton is to believe peither God, man or woman. It is no surprise to me that in this profession there are some skeptical men; l only wonder that journalists believe anything. T. De Witt Talmage.

 Nearly all the unseated Democrats, whose enforced retirement gave the Republicans majority ill the United States Ho'ise of Representatives of 26, have been reelected to the Fifty second Congress, and, with many new recuits, will give the Democrats very large majority-the exact fguree being yet undetermined. It will be so large, however, that there will be no need to turn Republicans out to make it safe. The Senate, however, remains strongly Republican and so hedeed about tbat it would take a political revolution to turn it over to the Democrats in less than six years. The probabilities are, therefore, that neither party will be in full control of the Government for that or longer period, and this, on general principals, may be considered gootl thing for the country.

A New story on The Father or our Country

There is sn unpublished story of George Washington that deserves to see the light, and although MT. Worth ington Chauncey Ford, the editor of Washingtons writings, has seen fit to suppress it, it is nevertheless authenti- cated by unimpeachabie testimony, for the writer got jt from physician in New Orleans, who had heard it from a descendant of n Revolutionary soldier who was present on the occasion in question.
 Lighthouse Harry Lee, according .o this account, invented n gun which worked on a pivot and gave most murderous fire when it was properly manipulated. During Q certain sltir- mish General Lee was working his gun against the British with startling re suits, for the British were hemme in in very tight place. When the action was at its height General Washington rode mp. He saw that the British were being beaten and he observed that whenever General Lee gave n swing to his gun whole line of the enemy fell He sat on his charger pensiyely for while, carefully putting down in his notebook the number that each dis charge of Lees wonderful gun laid low. When there were only . few left he rode up to his friend
 ''General Lee, said he, "your gun strikes me as m1irderous in is fire. must beg that you suspend its use until l have communicated it's invention to the Continental Congress
 "Holi on, General, said Lee, "iust enc moro frer'
 And giving the gun an extra long swing he fired and destroyed all that remained of the opposing reIcoats Then Washington, laaping Impeta3usiy from his horse and giving vent 10 one of those uncontroll'4bie fii8 of emotion that he Was sometimes subject to clasped the hand of Lee in both of his, and drawing him to his bosom, ex- claimed in broken voice;
