CLEVELAND ON SILVER.
The ex-President BIames Dan Manning for Putting Him on the Wrong.
 Side.
Washington Dispatch to St. Louis Republic

Washington Dispatch to St. Louis Republic.
 The conversation between Senator Vest and Mir. Cleveland which convinced the Missouri Senator that the ex-President had changed his views occurred while Cleveland was yet President 1t came about this way: While Secretary Man ming was still to all intents and purposes the head of the Treasury Department communication was sent to Congress on the coinage question, signed by MT. Manning, in which very strong grounds were taken against free coinage of silver. This was the third year of Mir. Oleve- lands administration. The day follow ing the receipt of this document ln Con gress Senator Vest had occasion to go to the White House. He found President Cleveland in towering rage, and the President asked him If he had seen the communication signed by Manning on the coinage question sent to Congress. The Missouri Senator answered in the affirmative. Mr. Cleveland then said that was terrible outrage; that Manning was sick, was not himself; that he was suffering from brain fever and not re- sponsible for the document sent to Con- gress to which his name was attached. | The President further said that Manton Marble, at one time the editor of the New York World, and known to be very warm friend of MT. Manning, had come ] on from New York, taken advantage of Mir. Mannings illness, prepared the anti | free coinage document sent to Congress 1 induced Manning to sign his name to Ii without investigation and sent it to Con gress without showing it to the President or to any member of the Cabinet; ''and, : continued Mr. Cleveland, Il am totally opposed to the views expressed in tht document, and so is the majority of the Cabinet"
 MT. Cleveland went on the explain tha Marble had taken a mean advantage O MT. Manning's illness and temporary ir responsibility and fired off to Congress { document for which the administration was in measure held responsible with out letting a single member of the ad ministration, from President down, see in advance In further conversation with Senator Vest, MT. Cleveland sait that when he assumed the Presidency h.
 had very decided views against the ire
 coinage of Silver, but intimated that h
 had since changed his mind very mate rially, and left the impression on tn
 mind of Senator Vest that he was thel
 ready to approve, in fact, as the chief eS ecutive of the country, a free coinage bil
 if passed by Congress. At the same tim
 Mr. Cleveland intimated that he did nc think it would be good politics to mak
 an issue of the coinage question, as ther
 was what he thought serious division c sentiment on the question between Den
 ocrats of the Eastern and Western State' and he did not think it would be prr dent to push the question to the fror under such circumstances. He left n doubt in the mind of the Missouri Ser ator, however, that personally he had bt i, come a convert to the free coinage idei 1, and that free coinage bill, if passed b Congress, would meet with his approva

A GREAT SCHEME.
Remarkable Railroad System Formed
 by Jay Gould.

It is stated that an alliance has been formed between the interests represent ed by George c. Magoun of Kidder, Pea body 6 O., Jay Gould, 0. P. Huntington and the Standard oil company party, by which all the railroads owned or controll- ed by them individually or jointly will be operated together, practically under Gould's direction. This alliance includes the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Northern Pacific, Atchi- son, Wabash, Kansas and Texas, Texas Pacific, and many other roads.
 It is also said that Gould is trying to force the holders of Rock Island either to sell their stock around its present price, or join hands with the other roads in the alliance. The Burlington and Chicago and Alton will act with the allied roads in whatever steps may hereafter be taken. but there are fears that the Vanderbilts may be angry at the loss of their traffic contract with the Union Pacific, and may refuse to join. If the Vanderbilts and the roads controlled by J. Pierrespont Morgan can be brought in, a meeting of the bankers and railroad presidents of all the roads in the country will be called, a new association formed, and then slight but material advance in all cut rates will at once be ordered.

ABOUT COPPER.
Its Present Disposition---Splendid Out
 look for the Metal.
Tucson Citizen .

Arthur Lazarus, representing the firm of Lewis Lazarus & Sons, metal mer- chants, of 57 Great St. Helens, London, Is in the city, stopping at the Palace.
 MT. Lazarus IS in America to learn of copper productions and outlook, and has been visiting the Lake Superior and Montana copper mining regions, having just arrived from the latter.
 What do you consider the outlook for the metal to be?' we asked.
 Never better" he replied. Copper is up, away up, and still on the rise When l left England 1t was G29 a ton, and on landing at New York I found it worth 964 to 965 ton. How do I account for the rise in prices? In several ways: All stocks are continually reducing, the re- ductioG during the last fortnight in Oc- tober being enormous; much more is being consumed than was year ago; deliveries have been very heavy of late. Yes; I think the Barring Bros. failure has affect ed the money market and that but for it copper would be still higher"
 How is copper being mostly consumed at present?" "Principally in three ways, First, wire and electric apparatus. Second Furnace bottoms; this being very i'm portant part of our trade; Third, The manufacture of sulphate of copper. for the destruction of phylloxera, an insect ravaging the grape vines of Europe especially Spain. This is new source of disposition for copper, and already a leading one. The sulphate of copper is most effective remedy, destroying the pest entirely. and at the same time harm. ing the fruit and vine in no particular, il being perfectly safe to partake of the fruit on which the liquid has been applied The sulphate of copper consists of % pc cent copper and the metal cannot b, brought back, once it becomes an ill gredient of the chemical soil.
 70 no; England receives but very littl of the American copper production. 1 is nearly all used in this country, ant mostly for electrical supplies.
 No, America, that is North America produces but small percentage of tn copper output of the world The source of supply are in this order: First. Sout America, second, Cape of good Hope third, Japan; North America, Australi and Spain.'
 MT. Lazarus leaves to-day for Clifto to examine the various copper propertie there, more especially the Arizona Coz per Company's mines and apparatu Afterwards he will visit Bisbee and pol sibly Red Rock He is not purchasins copper, but will probably establish agencie for his firms while here.

SEVERAL libel suits against the Phe- nix Republican have grown out of its utterances during the late election con test, based upon the open charges 1t made upon ex-Governor Zulick. While we believe that no restrictions should be laid upon the liberty of the press in the free expression of the facts, we are equally opposed to the abuse of this right in the use of accusations against the in dividual, public or private, that cannot be substantiated. In the present instance the matter is in the hands of the courts and is not, therefore, proper subject of criticism. The Republican invites the most rigid prosecution which it professes a readiness to meet with facts and figures, but from the course taken in inter posing plea that the grand jury that found the indictments was not legally drawn, the impression is necessarily con veyed that it prefers to gain time upon technicalities than to meet the issue squarely as it has professed desire to do.

Mining Intelligence.
Journal-Miner


 A deed has been filed for record from F. NJ. Murphy to Congress Gold Mining Co.,, for mining property, for $1,000.
 Men are at work grading for the new tramway from the United Verde mines to the proposed terminus of the branch rail road from the Prescott and Arizona Cen tral railroad.
 Tn ereyerberatory furnace of the United Verde Copper company has been started up and is working satisfactorily A num- Der of freight teams have recently been put to work freighting, and the two water jacket furnaces will soon be started up again.
 The lessees of the Amulet mine have just made a nice clean up and have been well compensated for months of incessant labor. They recently made a shipment of twenty three tons of ore, which netted them about $450 per ton in silver and lead, or, in round numbers, $10OOO. Of this J. M. w. Moore gets 25 per cent, and the lessees the balance. Good, persistent work in the development of mining prop critics has never yet failed to yield it's own reward in this section. The Amulet has yielded nearly S100,000 in shipping ore, while there are several thousand tons of second class ore on the dump awaiting concentrating facilities.

THE BRYAN CASE.
RENDERED AT LAST IN A
 FAMOUS CAUSE.
Judge Kibbey Decide That Defendants are Entitled to the F Possession of the Property Involved
 in the Suit.
Phenix Herald.

Judge Joseph H. Kibbey, in the Dis trict Court yesterday, rendered decision for the defendants in three of the most important cases that have ever been pre- sented to an Arizona court for trial. The first suit is that of Bryan vs. Braslus ct al, for the possession of the tract Of land known as Central Place, situated immedl- ately north of the city of Phenlx; the second, that of Bryan vs. Pinney, over q block of land at the northwestern corner of the townsite, and theAthIrd, that of Bryan vs. Kales, involving the owner ship of quartersection of land, usually known as the Vail Place." situated about four miles east of this city.
 These suits, several others of the same nature, were filed about three years ago, and excited much adverse criticism at the time, being considered by many citizens as in the nature of blackmail. The mo- tive for the institution of the suit, briefly stated, was that M. W. Kales, admins trator of the estate of Creed Bryan, de ceased, had sued such administrator for the payment of debt due by deceased to said Kales, and having secured Judg- ment in his own personal favor, had the property under question sold at Sheritf's sale to realize the amount awarded. The plaintiff sought to secure judgment as the heir of his brother.
 There were many fine points of law involved and the legal battle has beer warmly waged, the property being ot great value. Upon one suit demurrer was carried to the Supreme Court of the United States. The demurrer was de cided by that august tribunal in favor O plaintiff and the trial of the cases pro ceeded with even additional vigor. Int arguments were heard at the last term o court and decision deferred by Judgt Kibbey until the present time.
 ! The result of the trials is generally ac cepted with approval, as the land in volved had been subdivided and is nov occupied by large number of purchas CTS, Central Place, especially, having been improved to high degree.

Cattle Overland.

George W. Lang, of Los Angeles, Cali fornia, will leave to-day, overland, with one thousand head of cattle, which he re- gently purchased from Slaughter's Ranch, southeast of Tombstone. The cattle were driven to this city yesterday, and are now at the Silver Lake corral. MT. Lang pro- poses to feed these cattle through theiwin- ter and put them in the market next spring. He will drive them over the old emigrant trail,and says he will reach theColorado riv- in about thirty days, and Los Angeles in about forty days. By doing this he will save about $4,000, which he would have to pay the railroad company if he would ship by train. The railroad rates are $9O per car, and it would take from fifty to sixty cars to move this number of cattle, and the.freight bill would be between $5,- GOO and $6,000. Hence there is saving in driving them overland, when the same number of cattle can be driven to Califor- nia at from $1.00 to $1.5O per head, paying all expenses.

TIE ENTERPRISE has no special pets for selection as presiding officials in the two legislative bodies of Arizona, but it hopes to see such members so honored as are pledged to rigid economy in public expenditures as well as possessing pro- gressive ideas in all public matters. A policy of parsimony, coupled with retro RressTve Legislation will prove almost as great a calamity as a reckless prodigaity and the reins given over to the unchecked steeds of advancement. A temperate, dispassionate and frugal couse is what the people demand of the coming legislature and to this end the selection of presiding officers has direct and potent bearing, and the greatest discretion should be exercised in such preferment.

Rich Mining Developments.
Tucson Star.


 The recent discoveries in the Olive camp brings to mind the prediction of the Star seven years ago, to the effect that Pima district, which IS now Olive camp, would prove the greatest silver producer of any district in Arizona Since that prediction of the Star nearly half a million dollars have been taken out of the Olive camp by chloriding, and recently one property was sold to capitalists for $75,000, and the de- velopement of the last ten days has un- covered fabulously rich lodes of ore, and at points in the district not heretofore prospected. Had the developments and discoveries made in the Olive camp been made away down in Sierre Madre. or some new district, far out among the mountains or in the desert, there would be a great excitement and great rush of prospec- tors, miners and capitalists to the new | discovery. But the fact of the discovery being made right at home, within two o1 i three hours ride of Tucson, creates little or no excitement. save among the forum. ate owners and discoversrs of the new find The fact is, Olive camp presents the mos
 legitimate mining field in Arizona. The ore is taken out of the mine and shipped l to the mill just as grain is taken from tht harvest field and>taken to the buyer; botl are equally legitimate industries.

DARING NAvIGATORs.
The Young Men who Left Needles to Sail
 Round the World.
Yuma Times

Yuma Times
 On Thursday, November 20, Godfrey Sykes and Chares Mclean left Needles in a sail boat for trip around the world Their craft is "A feet long, z feet inches wide, draws IS inches of water, and is schooner rigged. Their point of embark ation was about five miles south of Need les, where they were taken by special train furnished by the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad. A large number of Needles people, with band, went to see them off Sail was successfully made at o'clock. The boat has been expected at Yuma any time for several days, but nothing has been seen of it at this writ ing, Tuesday evening. There was re- port that the navigators were stuck solne- where up the river. It is the opinion of those here who know the river that the boat can hardly get down safely at this stage of water. The Colorado is a very treacherous and perilons stream to navi- gate just now. If the young men had made start just after the last rise in the river they might have been successful in getting to the gulf but the depth of wa ter now is such that navigation by any except old hands is extremely precari- OuS.

Tar Secretary of the Interior. in his

TaE Secretary of the Interior, in his annual report, quotes many of the rec concentrations of Acting Governor Mur- phy regarding the needs of Arizona, with bis cordial approval Among these may be mentioned the passage of an enabling act for the admission of Arizona as state; that all public lands within the territory be donated to the state of Arizona upon it's admission; that all school lands be at once donated to the territory; that the Apache Indians be dis armed, and if not removed, that the limits of their reservation be curtailed and the mineral and coal lands thereon be seg- regated and made available to entry; that Congress appropriate funds for the erection of buildings for use in the pub lie service in Arizona; that the provisions of the Idaho test oath be made applicable to Arizona; that fourth judge be provid- cd and that the salaries of the judici- ary be increased to S500O per annumi that the federal officials be paid the full amounts allowed them by law and that the pay of legislators be increased to SIG per day; that congress appropriate a reasonable sum for artesian we'll boring in the territory, and that all public lands be surveyed. Nearly all of these recon
 mendations meet with the hearty appro
 bation of all the residents of Arizona and if they bear fruit, which may be regarded us extremely doubtful, more complete measure of common justice will be meteC out than the government usually accordi the people of it's territorial dependencies.

PULITZER SELLS OUT.
The New York World" Sold to Geo. W
 ChIIds and A. W. DrexeI.

A New York dispatch to the Globe
 Democrat of November 2S says-It leaked out to-day that one of the most important transactions in the newspaper world ever known in this country was recently effected in this city. This was the sale of the New York World by Joseph Pulitzer, representing the Press Publishing Com pany, which controlled the publication of that paper. The purchasers are George W. Childs, proprietor of the Public Ledger of Philadelphia, and Anthony w. Drexel, the well-known banker of the same city. The price paid is not definitely known, but it is understood to be in the neigkborhood of .S3,500,000. The transfer of the property will be made on the 1st of next January. Mir. Pulitzer, it seems, has been obliged to part with his pet paper on account of failing health and impaired eyesight, which rendered 1t impossible for him to give his personal attention to the conduct of his journal As matter of fact, it has long been known that the direction of the World has long been in the hands of men other than MT. Pulitzer. Months ago he an. nouneed that he had retired from newspa- per life, but said at the time that he still retained his financial interest in his pro perty. The sale, which is absolute, in cludes the monster new fourteen-story building into which the World has just moved, the type, presses. engines machin cry, the Evening World plant, the good will of both papers, and everything now owned by the company. Of course it is yet too early to form un idea as to what the personnel or policy of the paper will be, but it is expected that it will advocate radical republicanism in politics.
