ONYX. CochiSe County Will Furnish the Most Beautiful
 Specimens. A Barren Quartz Ledge Which Will Make Some One
 Wealthy.

Every Prospector who has travelled through the Sulphvr Spring valley has seen along the Dos Cabezas noun tains, running for distance of ten miles or more. big dike which was always spoken of as barren quartz ledge. It crops out in one place at the head of Wood Canyon fully 30 feet above the ground and is all of 40 feet wide.
 It has been located time and time again by prospectors who after testing in horn spoon, from many Joints would abandon it as the color was not visible.
 It was hard as flint and colored from most beautiful orange to the dark ma. room. There was every color in it but the copper stain, and many man has stood against its towering mag nitude where the elements had smoth- ed it's surface like glass and looking up its perpindicular sides exclaimed: :: "What beautiful slab for table top that would make" and it has taken ten years for the first man to find out that it is just what it was valuable for To tell long story in short space we will go back to 1879 when Jo Bas- sett and Jim Scow wentup the canyon the former with his family and camp, ed on knoll right in the canyon, on both sides of w..ich traverses the "big dike" as it was called. He remained there about two years during which time he located several claims which he sold to company and left. Jim Scow is still in Dos Cabezas but Bas. sett and family have been over consid- erable country since, but it was not until very recently that he saw his first onyx mine in the northern part of the territory. The slabs which were cut cut and polished were not a com parison to the beautiful surface of the "big dike" and revealed the fact to one or two of his acquaintences with the result that last month $ Basset, Zan Hart and c. L. Coon, of Phenix locat- ed five claims along the "big dike" and the papers were filed in the Re- corder's office today.
 Specimens of the rock were taken back to Phenix to compare with the onyx of the northern part of the Ter ritory and found to excel not only in beauty, but in texture and in suscepti bility of polish. There is no doubt of it's value. There is sufficient in sight above ground to furnish the Pacific Coast with all it needs for 50 years.

"L-i-s-e-n-c-e. Is that the way you spell license" said g we'll known business man last evening, picking up paper and pointing out the word to PRosPECToR man. It was ex- plained to him that it was . typo graphical error and that we did not spell it that way when we went to school. 1t does make me warm though" added he "to see the Califor- mia papers spell the word Kidnapping with one p, making it read Kidnapping J
 The thought struck us that possibly the majority of people do believe the word is properly spelled with the double p.
 "IF Judge Barnes were half man said well known mining man yes. terday Che would tell the circum- stances connected with the advice which he says Col. Herring gave him in relation to his drawing the $500 per annum from the board of super visors of Cochise county. Ihappen to know some of the circumstances and pronounce the statement absolutely false. Col. Herring will not, I am sure, enter into g newspaper contro- versy with Barnes. As Attorney Gen. CT of the territory, he would be wrong in giving his opinion now on a ques- tion upon which he will soon be called upon to decide in an official capacity, but will pronounce the assertion of Barnes absolutely false, which will give him chance to explain, if he is man enough to tell the truth.

Sleiging carnivals are being talked of in
different parts Of the State, where . good
number of nice teams are owned. This 10
something which need require no special
outlay of money, but would be 3 very at
trsctive and snowy exhibition. There is
no place in Maine where = better display
could be made than in Wsterville, Here
is owned the fastest trotter on earth, and a.
he is frequently seen on our streets, we pre-
sumo his owner would consent to head the
procession in case there should be carni-
val, ard this alone would draw hundred, of
people in here. We can turn out here all
sorts Of combinations from the four. in hand
down to the pony team. Itwould be mag.
nifcent display, if the owners of all the
inc equipages in Wa.erville and its neigh
borhooj, should join ia such q carnival as
might be brought about with very little
trouble ard expense. The JOURNAL hopes
that Il msy be done.
