These States and those of the Rocky Mountain
country generally have been conspicuous in the
public mind chiefly for their vast mineral
wealth. of which this output of silver and gold
il no more than an illustration. But the fact
is. enormous as are the sums derived from their
mines their agricultural products have Deeh
far moro valuable OF the 625,000,0O 600 acres
contained in the Pacific Slope, 369,oOO,ooo
constitute Alaska. OF the remainder much less
than one-half has been as yet surveyed anu
not more than 100000 900 acres can be calieu
improved lands. From these the agricultural
results have been obtained, and it will certainly
surprise the public to know that in the last hVe
years the total wheat crop alone has beeh e9uS'
to the total product of silver and gold' wnho
in Oregon, which has produced in twenVy,oho

THE REVOLT IN CHINA.

The recent outrages on missionaries in China
tracted much attention in this country. Fuller
reports of the riot at Wu-Sueh show, however,
that that demonstration was only an incident
of a much greater movement that has lately
been growing in the Celestial Empire, and may
possibly result in general uprising. The En-
peror has issued decree guaranteeing protec-
ton in China to foreign missionaries, whose
function is already recognized by treaty and
in this document reference is made to the
powerful outlaws" who are stirring up dis
cord among the natives. Governors of Prov
inoes are hidden to arrest the rioters and quell
local disorders.
The Tae-ping Rebellion, that lasted fourteen
years and was suppressed only by French and
English intervention, originated with man of
humble origin. The present outbreak is said
to be devised by no less a person than tho
famous Ii Hung Chang, whom General Grant
coupled with Bismarck as the greatest men he
had met in his journey around the world. This
great officer, who is Viceroy Of Petchili. is a
kinsman of the Admiral of the Fleet and the
Viceroy Of Canton, and his adherents in all
parts of the Empire are numerous and power
full. He owes his honOrs entirely TO the dynasty
he is said TO be now seeking to overthrow, and
his age and physical feebleness almost preclude
the idea of his leadership of popular rebel
Lion that would endanger his present powers

TIE ROMANCE OF THE PACIFIC SLOPE

The Bureau of Statistics has recently issued
a volume which will be read with gratihed
amazement. 1t deals with the development OF
the Pacific Slope, including the States OF Cali
fornia, Nevada. Idaho, Oregon and Washing
ton. and the Territories OF Utah. Arizona and
Alaska. 1t is possible to give here only a'vague
impression of, the wealth of facts and statistics
supplied in this book and of the magnificent
tribute they bear to American energy. Their
story is almost incredible. The lands COM
prising these States and Territories, exclusive
of Alaska, constitute quite fourth of the total
area of the United States Alaska, acquired by
purchase from Russia in 1867 at a cost OF
81. 200, 600, has already returned in revenue
to the Treasury more than its purchase price,
and has produced in values 10 our citizens not
less than SS5, 100000 OF this sum $780,
900, 900 is the products of the fisheries, for
the protection Of which from Canadian poach-
ers we are now contendng with Great Britain.
If the people of the United States appreciated
the value of the rights so gravely menaced there
would be a public sentiment in support of the
Government so profound as to compel the
prompt and sufficient assertion of our rghtful
authority
possibilities of our Western empires has marked
every controversy attending their acquisition,
and the wonder is that we ever succeeded IN
obtaining so great dominion. Jefferson was
cruelty assaied for the Louisiana purchase. The
Mexican cession was bitterly opposed even after
the decision of great war had made it ours OF
right. Two years were spent in bitter fight
over the Alaskan Treaty, the opposition in all
these cases holding that the land would never
be needed and that it was utterly worthless
anyhow. british Columbia was sacrificed to
| this foolish outcy, 10 the great and permanent
injury of our interests. The Mexican cession
cost us S30,0OO,o00, or about II cents an
| acre. We have carved from it California
Arizona, Nevada and Utah and parts of New
Mexico and Colorado, and from about one
twelfth Of the lands denounced as sterile ana
yalueless We have produced 81, O,0o0,ooo
of gold and silver. and twenty times as much

Arizona Onyx for Texas.

Hon. John W, Dougherty, legis- lator elect from Yavapai County, and one of the owners of the onyx mines at Big Bug, is in receipt of a letter from the authorities of the State of Texas, asking information as to the price and possibility of se- curing a quantity of onyx to be used in finishing the interior decor atiOns of the State House at Austin. Several fine samples of the onyx were recently sent to parties in that c tv, and their beauty and frmness of texture excited such general comment that the proposition to use the Arizona stone in finishing the Lone Star State House, the finest edifice of it's kind in the na- ton, met with general approval As there is 50 per cent ad yalor- em duty on all onyx imported from Mexico into the United States, which makes the price of the Mex ican stone g per cubic foot before leaving that country, there is no doubt but what the Arizona pro duct is destined to drive it from the American market. especially as the latter is universally pronounced to be superior in color and texture.- Prescott Journal Miner.

i Sad Accident.

Fort Grant, A. T., Dec. 25, 1690 To day the body of Jesse Will kenson, a miner, late in the employ of the Aravaipa Mining company, was brought to the post and Judge Eldrigo empanneled a coroner's jury. It appears from the evidence given by Mr. J. Haas, also an en- ployee of the company, that while the above named was at work Tn shaft No. 3. about 1 P. m. on the 24th, cave occurred andss a large boulder weighing 1000 pounds fell upon the left shoulder ot the un- fortunate man, pining him to the ground, help was at once summon ed and it required the herculanean efforts of his three comrades to ex- tricate him from the debris. Mr. Haas who is a very pleasant and intelligent man stated that it was most dangerous undertaking to get him out, for while at work, a large rock fell from the wall where the cave started, about twenty feet from the surface. From his graphic description it must have been a noble and horoic rescue. The poor miner was still alive but his left leg was broken in several places, and the large boulder had crushed him and broken his back. He was car ried to a wagon with the intention of bringing him to the nearest med ical aid, but while on the way he commenced to vomit blood and re- quested his comrades to place his arm under his head and he breathed his last.
 The deceased had been working for the company about two months and came from Nebraska. He was an American about 25 years old,
 No blame could be attached to any one and a verdict of "death by o,, I,DovoidahIa oocidantn woe ron dered by the jury.-Graham Coun- ty Bulletin.

 DEAR SIR The great Columbian Exposition takes place in Chicago in 1S92-93, and promises to be the most stupendous affair of the kind in the worlds history. It is of su- preme importance to Arizona that our incomparable resources should be adequately, intelligently and systematically represented at the Worlds Fair. Much time, labor, expense and preparation will be re- quired to accomplish this object. Recognizing these facts, and that an initiatory movement having in view this end, is necessary, the Ph9- nix Chamber of Commerce respect fully requests your cooperation in securing such action by the people as will inaugurate a movement which will result in aproper rep resentation at said Exposition. We believe that a Territorial Con- vention should be held at an early date to consider this matter, and to tolya Surh action as may he DecaS- sary to obtain from the Legislature a liberal appropriation for the pur- poses contemplated. We would be glad to have an expression of the view of yourself and other repre- sentative citizens thereon at your earliest convenience.
