MINERS AND MINING.

Messrs. Gates and Tiler are reported to have made strike of 500 oz. silver ore last week, in one of RidenOur's claims on the Hassayampa.
 More interest is being taken in inning matters in the Hassayampa and Slate creek districts than ever before, and the prospects were never more encouraging.
 Lute Wilson and others are shipping car of fine looking ore from Dan Hatz's mine on Slate creek, worth $l50 per ton. Part of the car has already been deliv- cred at the depot in Prescott for ship ment to Denver, consigned to tbe Argo works.
 Prescott Journal Miner: J. w. Me Gowan brought in a lot of ore from his mine on the lower HaSsayampa which is the envy of prospectors and miners. His ledge is from forty to fifty feet in width, carrying good ore the entire distance. These samples gave an assay value of $l0 in gold, $4 in silver and 40.6 copper. Of course the ore will not average that the entire width of the vein, but will average from 10 to 20 per cent. He is still engaged in developing the claim.

SLUM5ER PILLOWS.

That Tempt to Sleep with the Odor of
 Dried Sweet Blossoms and Herbs.
 "Slumber pillows are amoug the latest fads and nothing can be more attractive" yays The Decorator and Furnsher, which describes them as follows: "Many of them are made of white linen in order that they can be laundered easily. They are usually embroidered in wash linens or silks, and have on them some appropriate quotation and spray of flowers. A dainty one has maidenhair ferns gracefully embroidered on it. On another is wild roses. This last named one is filled with rose leaves gathered during the rose season and is very fragrant One is filled with sweet violets and has bunch of them on the cover. Others are filled with dried hops, herbs, grasses or down. Some of them are round, with pun of the same all around and laeed with cord over the puff. Others are square with the corners coming to- eether on one side with a puff underneath. All sorts of odd and quaint shapes and styles are seen.
 "Afghans or slumber robes are needed the year round to throw over one while taking a nap or reclining in the hammock. Very attractive ones can be knit of two con trasting colors in stripes and put together with a crocheted cord. They can be finish ed with fancy edge or a tied fringe
 "Others equally pretty are crocheted af- ghan stitch, and have alternate stripes of plain black and Roman ones. These are put together with a fancy cord showing the shades of red green and black and fin ished with heavy fringe, which is tied three times. Five or seven stripes are used. For a child's afghan five is sufficient"

Why I Am a Protectionist.

favor Protection because: It IS essen- tial to national power, wealth and inde- pendence; it makes demand for skilled labor, including that for infirm men, for women and children, who would other wise be idle; secures fair wages and adds to general intelligence; it makes home market, always reliable and the best for farm products, and for vegetables and fruits which cannot be exported and for which there would otherwise be no mar ket; it improves the productive capacity, especially by stock raising and the value of lands; it saves to the world the use less expense and labor of shipping prod ucrs from one country to another and turns these into productive sources of wealth; it secures national revenues paid largely by foreigners, and multiplies the sources which share the burdens of local taxation; its ultimate effect is to furnish more abundant and cheaper products by home competition, by preventing foreign monopoly and eXtortion, and by the in- vention of labor saving machinery; it adds to the sources of individual wealth, education, comfort and happiness. Every period of adequate protection has been prosperous; every period of tariff for revenue only" unaided by abnormal conditions, has been attended with de- pression in business and consequent idleness and crime, verifying the truth that "he that provideth not for his own household is worse than" Protection ist-he is Free-trader or free traitor Judge William Lawrence, of Ohio.

Cros, Stitch Embroidery,

In cross stitch embroidery the great thing is to cross all the stitches one way and even ly. The manner of executing this simple work is described as follows by The House keeper: "From the left hand corner of one of the squares bring up the needle and thread, then in a slanting direction, that is taking it across the square to the top of the right hand side, you pass the needle down. this forming the first or under part of the stitch. Then comes the upper stitch, forming Q cross from which it takes its name, which you do thus Bring the needle up ts the top left hand cor ner and pass it down through the right hand corner, when you will have formed the complete stitch, and this, through be- ing repeated in designs and various colors, forms most attractive and quickly exc cuted decorations for nearly everything.

Work in double crochet Gnsert hook in stitch, draw yarn through, then through two stitches on hook; work always into back part of stitch to give q ribbed effect.

Erou presIdent uarrIson's mss,ags:

From President HarrIson's Message: "The legislation of Congress for the repression of pobgamy has, after years of resistance on the part of the Mormons, at last brought them to the conclusion that resistance Is un- p 'ofi.abIe and unaVaillng. The power of Con. gross over this subject should not be sur rendered until we awe satisfactory evidence that the people of the state to be created would exercise the exclusive power of the state over thIs subject In the same way. The question Is not whether these people now obey the law of Congress against poly. gamy, but rather would they make, enforce and maintain such laws themselves if abso.

SOUTHWEST SILVER CONVENTION.

To the prospectors, miners, mine and
 claim owners of New Mexico, Ari-
 zona and Western Texas:
 The depression that exists through out the southwest is due to the un- natural depreciation of silver and to the evil defects caused by that portion of the alien act, that prohibits the in- vestment of foreign capital in mining properties in the territories. The ob- ject oi the southwest silver convention that is to convene on the 18th day of December, 1891, in Fl Paso Texas, is to discuss and take steps to remedy those evils. No other subject but the silver question and the modification of the alien act will be entertained by the convention, and all attempts to per vert the object of this mass meeting of miners by the introduction of questions foreign to the principles for which it is called will be suppressed. The res. toration of silver to it's normal value or parity with gold, l20. 20, and the ob- liberation of an unjust discrimination against the miners operating in the ter ritories will engage the entire emery and time of the assembled miners of the southwest.

THE ADMISSION OF ARIZONA,

he thinks is one that we cannot afford to experiment with. The President doubts the wisdom of taking any chanee$ by the admission of states in which'th8 Mormons have sufficient infiuenec 't9 control it's legislation.
 It is not enough, the President thinks, that the Mormons should now show q disposition to obey our laws, but the problem is, will they saas t such laws themselves and then olny tlaem?

 p4y fSason that TIE RErUB- o.-t {fse number of the people 1Nf . A{{1otx, during the session of the yleaGli kienai convention, urged upon that .body the necessity of clause in the constitution known as the Idaho s4sst oath, and had that clause been in- serted there would have been much less sopposition manifested by the people of "the territory to the adoption of the con stitution.
 There are very few persons in Arizona who are opposed to statehood, but there are a great many who are opposed to statehood under the present constitu- tion, and the fact that less than one third of the voters of the territory voted fn aI ig ami Epia of the opposition to the measure.
 TIE REPUBLICAN is for statehood, and it believes that intelligent measures should be adopted to bring about the admission of Arizona, but in view of the opinion expressed by Pres ident Harrison upon the danger of the admission of states in which the Mormons hold the balance of power, there;appears to be very little hope that Arizona will go in under her present constitution. The friends of statehood can therefore greatly expedite matters by moving at once .or 4n enabling act and a new constitutional convention. The trouble appears to be that we have gone at the matter backwards, but if we now pull together for statehood under an enabling act and a new constitution with the Idaho test oath and the water sections in conformity with the views of President Harrison upon these sub jects, we may finally get into the Union.
 THE REPUBLICAN is ready to pull with al good citizens for statehood, but it has never been satisfied with the omission of the test oath and with the water clauses in the constitution. And in this opinion President Harrison con- CUTS in no uncertain language.

grow very fast when s years old and
grew one inch in height last month.
She expects to keep on growing until
she is 81 years ofage. She appears

Miss Ewing's face is very large,
and so are her hands and feet. Her
hand is foot long and it takes 40
yards of silk to make her a dress.

A Murdered Girls Body Found
Near DimOndale, Mich.

Lansing. Mich, February 2.-Last
Friday night, as Solomon Dorr and
his son, Clifton, were crossing Grand
river. three miles beyond the village
of Dimondale. they discovered the
entirely nude boiy of a beautiful girl,
apparently about IA years old, in
patch of water where the ice had been
broken. When the body was removed
from the river it was evident that the
corpse had been thrust into the water
but few hours before, and that it
had been disposed of almost immedi-
ately after death. The girl weighed 80
pounds and throat bore marks made
by the pressure of hand, while the
teeth had bitten through the lips. An
inquest was hell in Dimon tale yes
terdsy. Beyond the marks ON The
throat no positive evidence of violence
was found, although the physicians
summoned agreed that the murder had
probably been preceded by another
crime. Absolutely no clew to the
identity of the murdered girl has
been Obtained, although the sheriff.
of the two counties are working on
the case.
