 The Vekol group consists Of four full and one fractional claims; the Ve- kol, Grandfather, Argosy, Mt. Vernon and Lookout. The two former lie north and south, partially adjoining each other, and the others intersect the southern end of the Vekol and bear in a south easterly direction. The Lookout is wedge-shaped claim lying between the Vekol and Mt. Vernon. A tunnel has been run some distance into the latter claim and ore is found of the same character as that extracted 1 from the Argosy, and it is the opinion of experienced miners that very wide body of high grade ore will be found extending nearly across the en' tire width of these two claims.
 About the Vekol there are many other very promising claims that with greater development ought to com pete with the former for future dis tinction and some of which will un doubtedly prove to be valuable mines Like the Vekol. they are operated by their owners without other aid and very naturally, the process of develop ment is somewhat slow.

Rodger and Canos have struck q body of ore in the Tintic mine that assays 15 ounces in gold. It was struck in a new streak on the foot wall, about ten feet from the main pay streak, and on the surface. They have taken out three tons in sinking a depth of five feet. In fact, everybody at work is meeting with immense sue cess. The camp has never before had as bright an outlook as at present. The oldest inhabitants admit that the camp never before had showing 1t now has of becoming the best and greatest producing camp in Arizona.

EASTERN newspapers are demanding greater personal safety in railroad travel. They enjoy all other accomo- dations any reasonable traveller can desire, even to the blessed privilege of paying for them before the goods are delivered, but people are beginning to offer serious objections to the mang- ling process so common in railroad travel, and profess profound dislike to becoming possible subject of coroner's inquest with nobody to blame" for the sudden transition.

The Natural Result.

The announcement that the presi- dent had departed from his home rule policy of appointing residents of terri tories to positions Wit hin iifiInl- the terri tories and has appointed M. G. Good ing of Indiana as chief justice of Ari- zona, was somewhat of surprise al
 though intimations have long since been given that an outside man would be given the place. This is the. first
 has not adhered strictly to the plat form of his party, as the associate justices, the United States marshal and all minor offices have been filled with residents of this territory. There is no mistaking the fact that E. w
 Wells was the choice of the people of Arizona for this position, and while they are disappointed by his not re- ceiving it, they realize that Arlzonans are greatly to blame in the matter. Every prominent appointment made in the territory, with the single ex- ception of the secretary, has been vigorously assailed by interested par ties and an attempt to defeat thelr confirmation was made. That such wrangles has had an influence on the chief executive there can be no doubt
 although we feel safe in saying that had MT. Wells been appointed to the
 position there is not q man Ill the
 territory who would have opposed him
 While knowing nothing of MT. Good
 ing, we doubt not that he is an honor
 able man and one well qualified to Ill
 the position. N. B. Booth, specla
 agent of the interior department, wh'
 has slight acquaintance with tn
 appointee, says he is very able la" yer and an honorable gentleman wh : will fill the position impartially an with ability. He has occupied tn position of district judge in his natlv
 state and has given eminent satisfac ton. In addition to his legal ability , he is possessed of a high sense , honor, and it is safe to assert that Il 7 decision he may render will ever b tainted with the faiutest suspicious t outside ce.-Journal-Mine

Commenting on the Walnut dam break, the Denver Republican says: The result suggests that in every State and Territory there should be some official clothed with authority to condemn work of this sort and pro- hibit the construction of large dams in & defective and insecure way. This will become an issue of great import ance as soon as the work of building irrigation reservoirs shall be exten- sively entered upon. There are thous- ands of places in the Rocky Mountains where reservoirs could be constructed which would retain enough water to irrigate large tracts of land. But 1t would be better to allow the land to remain in its arid state than to suffer the reservoirs to be constructed in any other than a secure way. Capitalists will expend as little as possible in the construction of such dams when the work is left to private enterprise This we may depend upon. But It does not follow that private enterprise should be prevented from engaging in such work. What is called for is the
 
 appointment of officials who have the supervision of work of this kind, just as building inspectors have authority over the construction of buildings in cities.

TIE whole burden of the song of the
 WolAey organs in support of his measure to "legalize" the laws of Ari-
 zona is that it will force the appoin-
 tees of ex-Governor Zulick to step down and out in favor of those of Gov
 ernor Wolaey That is the one point they openly commend as the prime
 object of the bill now before congress
 and it must be accepted as fact that
 this is just as far as their interest in | the affairs involved reaches. Has 1t
 at last come to be mere scramble for
 few petty offices that congresses the
 exclusive attention and efforts of our
 talented chief executive, and that he
 seeks to accomplish such an end un-
 der cover of beneficial legislation? By
 the confession of those newspapers
 that profess to speak by the card we
 can arrive at no other conclusion. The
 defects in our laws are more imaginary
 than real. They have not yet been
 declared to be illegal and the courts
 have decided hundreds of very i'm
 portant cases under their provisions without question. Men have suffered | the penalty of death upon the gallow' even, under these same laws, and l they were illegally hanged their exc ? cutioners are guilty of murder and thu , courts are accessories. Our revenue B have been collected and disbursed anC Y all the ofIairs of our government hay g been conducted by the authority o { the legislative enactments who's b legality is now brought in question !. for what purposef Only to secure e few paltry afficesl If the hold-over s possess no legal right to the position # they refuse to vacate, the remedy lies l our courts--not in the national congres n Governor Wolaey is the only perso B. who declares our.laws to be defectiv '. and. as he went far out of his offici' .e jurisdiction to do this, he surely hs n some motive for doing so. Perhap Is like the old saying, "give dog ba ,e name and then kill him" will explai 70 his purpose.

 plishment of his ulterior design D. what will be the effect of the legalizir k action of congress upon the publ m affairs of this Territory It is hard ie within the authority of that body is enact a retroactive measure, and wi ie not the hold-overs therefore remai pc the de facto officials to the date upo ht which the congressional enactmer

A well kept school is maintained and public reading room and library is provided with all the latest periodicals and newspapers at the expense of the Messrs. Walker. No liquor is permitted to be used in the camp and therefore the peace of it's inhabitants is rarely disturbed. Al together it is an ideal mining town and its management reflects great credit upon the judgment and ability of its owners.

their mud-built towers. Dealing with China
would be a different matter; for the Chinese
army is vastly improved in discipline and
equipment since the affair with France a
few years ago. But even in making war
with China, it would be entirely in accord
with the duplicity that character;zes the
methods of the car, to begin hostilities
through some commander whose coup, ii
successful, might be repudiated. On the

SPOT FOR BURIAL.
AN ARKANSAS SITUATION DUE TO
THE FLOODS.
Three Weeks of Uncertainty Yet in Prospecs
The Low Districts Still Great Sufferers
Other News from All Points.
At CITY.

Arkansas City is the center OF the worst
flood on the Mississippi river between
Memphis and Vicksburg. The town is
completely under water and about half of
the population has deserted it. The houses
ali stand in water from four to six feet
deep. Merchants are doing business on
scntfolds built with false floors on the
levee. Capt. Tallinger is in charge of the
Arkansas levee district, with his headquar-
tiers here. In an interview he said there
could be no change in the situation for
about twenty days. The river would then
begin falling unless unexpected and un-
precedented rains further north set in. The
water now is two feet higher than ever
known before. This is due to the great
volume pouring out of the Arkansas river.
Capt. Tallinger thought that 5000 people
we're homeless within thirty miles of Ar
kansas City. They have no shelter but
shanties made of wrecked houses. The col
ored people in the town have tnken posses
sion Of the box cars and live inthem. The
white people are living in freight houses.
A party of trackmen OH the Iron Mountain
railroad, two miles south of the city, found
the bodies of several fugitives, who had
probably fallen from RATS or boats and
been drowned. They notified the coroner,
who told them they had to leave the bodies
where they were, as the cemetery was under
water and there was no dry land in which
to bury them.

A Affair.

In the Ontario legislature Mr.. Graham,
member for East Lambton, moved that in
the opinion Of the house it is desirable
that closer trade relations should be es-
tablished between the United States Of
America and the Dominion of Canada and
that the legislature of the Dominion of
Canada should take such steps as they may
deem ezpedient to bring about unrestricted
reciprocity between the United States of
America and the Dominion of Canada.
There was no use in conceal
ing the fact that the farmers wore
handicapped by the prohibitory
tariff which the Americans had put
upon their products, and if something was
not done to relieve the farmers they would
Dol become bankrupt. The United States
was their natural market, he said, and it
was in the interest of the whole country
that closer trade relations should prevail.
The farmers were as loyal as any other
men,, but they had a right to ask that JUS
tice be done them. If Canada failed to get
unrestricted reciprocity with the United
States, he believed annexation to be her
inevitable destiny. Mr.. Frazer, commits
sloner of public works, said that as the at
tendance was small, it would be unfair to
discuss this important subject and accord
ingly moved an adjournment of the debate,
which was carried.

Much Distress Along the Steele Bayou.
Nineteen negroes. survivors of a large
party of refugees which attempted to es-
cape from the overflow down Bayou Falaya
on a raft, have arrived at Vicksburo on q
steamer. They report that twelve women
and children we're drowned. The situa-
ton is growing daily more serious in the
Steele bayou country. Earl Miller, o
prominent planter, arrived from there by
the steamer Evergreen with his family and
stock. The Miller plantation, though
very high, has gone under. The Ever
green reported that the water along
the bayous is rising. Cattle
and hogs are offered for sale by the people
for q song. Much more stock must yet be
brought out or allowed to drown. The
steamer Oceola, from the bend, reports
that the overflow is beginning to empty
into the Mississippi through Eagle lake,
and predicts a great increase of pressure
oil along the Louisiana front from that
point southwark, for the next two weeks.
There is most unmistakable distress along
Steele bayou and it would be cruelty to
deny it.. Three steamers leave here to-
morrow, and will endeavor to bring out all
the people in danger.
