The copper situation is improving, and it seems as though the tide which has set so long in one direction is about to make its annual chaEge for long run the other way. Prices for Lake are stid at l2c, with some small sales at slightly better figures. The demand has no, as yet materialized, but when it does it will find bare market, the heavy exports during the past few months having pretty effectually drained away visible supplies.

Honor ia Whom i,is Due.
(Flor,nce Enterprise,

! if"Hfucc Enhtiffiht.i A gentleman who recently returned to Nogales from visit to the Minas Prietas, Sonora, writes as follows con- cerning the recent fire in that mine and the rescue of Richard Odges. the fore man, to correct an error in the pub lished account:
 In the interest of truth and to give honor where il is due, I wish to make correction of an article recently pub lished in all the Sonora newspapers and several of those in Arizona, regard ing the fire Ut the old and famous Mihas Prietss mine and the rescue of Foreman Richard Odgos. In the Mex ican papers Francisco Bravo and Aht tonio Reveria appear as deserving all the credit of the rescue, but the fact are quite different Bla n and Reverir, on account cf their diminrt-yo si2t. made their escape from the burning mine through small air hole or win.e which was partly co7ered over with timhers and through which the por,ly form of Mir. Odges could uot pass This occurred about s o'clock in the morning.
 Tt ws fully two hours later, or ahout lo o'clock, when ] D. Holland, Peter Negro, Chamberlain < price's foreman, and cousin of Mir. Odges, whose name l do not recall, appeared at the mine aud at once took steps to rescne the i'm prisoned foreman. They descended the hole, moved one of the timhcrs and ill half an hour they laid the nearly dead man in lis home and into the ten der cnre ot his wife and children. He was perfectly helpless and very nearly snlUcatgd from the dense smoke in the baraing mine, but be fully recovered from it's effects iu iew days Mir odges is native of England; has re- sided for some years in Afi .ona onl Tor the past several years hgs hell the re sponsihle position of foreman of the Minas Prietas.
 "feter Negro and J. D. Holland, who deserve the credit of the rescue.
 
 are old Globe and Silver King miners and are well known in your section of Arizona and in many other mining camps of the Territory. These men do not claim to have done more than their duty, and the public would not even no~ know aagbt oF their haroism had not some imaginative person given the entire credit to others who were too eownrdly to make even the slightest eiiolt tu save the lie Of fellow man when 1t was in their power to do 50.

Indian Expectations.

The Interior Department has begun t. en down papers in the Inllan de,l- relation cases to the Court of Claims, and pnpers have been received from the files of the House of Representa-. tiyes. This is the first step towards getting the cases ready for ipal settle- meut. They are being filed at the rate of loo per day. As to the speedy set tlement of these claims, there is much difference of opinion The Court of Claims already has on file in the neigh horhood of 26, n0.t claims of various kinds for adjudication, but on the statement of Justice Richardson that the court would take chre of, and act npon the depreciation claims, Congress last session passed the bill transmitting all Indian depreciation claims to this court. This will give tn t body 2l, ID ad litional cases. How this eStrsme mber wiH be passed upon Tn any reasonable time is the question The members of the court act as u unit and sit but few hours during the day. Long vacations are taken, and, alto gether, the indications are not favora- ble for the claimants = Wilcox Stock man.

The Yuma Times saws that the sever pl hundred people assembled around the works of the Yuma Pumping Irri- gation Corr7iN on Sunday afternoon to witness tri.l run of the pumps Steam WAS up at , o'cOck, the gnaSe showing 20 pounds pressure. One pump was staIted and worked with q little adjustment He other was also adjusted and started, and big stream bes'a flowing into the Hume and ditch. An enthusiastic cbeer went up from the crowd and tbe whistle ans blown mer- rily. By this time ;ae steam had fallen to 10 pounds, then to 2, to 5 and to ?, but the pnnps kept right on jus. the same. They oply need steam enough to start 'em, said one in the crowd, aid indeed 1t looked So. A careful measurement of the water in the Hume showed 375 miners inches with 10 pounds pressure
 When the pumps started it became evident that ths boAos around them were not high enough, as the water splashcd and slOshed out at every stroke This is accounted for by the fact the atmosP Phelic pressure Is 50 much greater hplqi than in Colorado, where the rnlals are made. The pumps were manufactured by the lrri- gatiOn Pump Company of Greeley, Col. The boiler was made ny Ruhan Bros. of St Louis, Mo, and is capable of running twelve pumps of the sic used. A. A. Daugherty had the contact of setting the machinery and he has done his work well,
 The starting of these pumps marks n new era in this locality and the begin tipg of a revolution which will change the character of this country entirely.

Republican County Ticket
For Jary Commissioner.
WILLIAM PATTERSON.

JUDGE SIAoNToE, of Harrisburg has de-
cided that neither DR.. Waller or Prof. Sny.
der can hold the Office of State Supd't, and
until the Supreme Court settles the matter,
DIR. Waller will discharge the duties of the
Office. The Judge thinks Gov. Pattison
had right to remove Waller but is also
Of opinion that Snyder's rejection by the
Senate bars him. This decision may fur
ther delay the payment of the school war
rants. DIR. Waller was appointed by Gov.
Beaver on January to succeed the late
DIR. Higbee. The senate was not then in
session, but after that body convened a
few week later Gov. Beaver again appoint
ed DR.. Weller, who was then confirmed
and claims this appointment was for full
term of four years, but no commission was
issued to him and Gov. Pattison appointed
DIR. Snyder. The senate rejected him, and
after the adjournment he was again ap-
pointed. Judge Eimoton's decision is that
the appointee named during the recess OF
the senate could not legally hold longer
than until the close Of the next session OF
the senate and therefore Gusts Waller,
and that Snyder is not eligible to appoint
mcnt during the recess because he was
rejected by the senate. This leaves the
question in q queer state. Waller is
ousted, but having duly qualified is super
intendent in fact. He must also show that
he is such by right, though meanwhile he
will hold the Office until his successor is
appointed and qualities. But this cannot
be Snyder, and the only outcome seems to
be appointment Of new man. The con-
plication has raised an interesting question
as to the instruction of section s, article 4,
concerning the power of the governor to
appoint during the recess Of the senate.

. A woman's $ Letter.

| Dear Margery. something tells Inc you're
thinking Of me tonight,
| Wondering, perhaps, If stlll exist aud
why l do not write.
/ OF course ! received your letter and should
have written long ago.
4 But writing 70 me now seems so very te-
/ di0us and slow.
/ | shall try to answer your letter to night,
I Perhaps | shall try in vain.
/ please forgive me for rhyming, Aargery,
I there nothing wrong with my brain. }
4 But there as something in the atmosphere
or surroundings hereabout.
| That's depressing 70 my spirits, what 1t Is
cannot quite make out.
And instead OF wearing glasses, of the old
rosy hue,
! look at life, and things in general,
through those decidedly blue
| And this evening in twilight, sitting alone
and apart,
I couldn't help crying little and II great
/ IL eased my heart.
| But II you discover vein OF sadness, this
letter running through.
Just keep on smiling wont you, don't let
it sadden you.
| III tell YOU what I was thinking of in the
twilight cold and gray,
Memory carried me back to ''ye oIden
Nv thoughts were chiefly sad ones, but !
smiled and so will you,
When you think of the old time Reading
Glass. IN District No. ..
How well [ remember the pieces and
the way in which they were read.
The Parsons Wonderful One Horse Shay
and the fBiv-whack of the Dead
While the Burial Of Sir John Moore, by a
lanterns misty light,
Was read in a voice as deep as his grave. it
gave US all q fright.
But that was many year ago, "the class
is now dismissed"
Cupid has claimed royal share and some
Deaths lips hath kissed
And sometimes wonder, Margery, 1t
seel.s saca a range decree,
That the se..nii gly happiest here on Earth
are called first to eternity
While those who would gladly welcome
death to find rest in the Great Un-
known.
Are left in sorrow and sadness to stru ggle
through life alone
Perhaps | should not have written thus,
but God readeth the hearts of men.
He knew the thought and the cause of it
ere had traced it with my pen.
And l do not mean to question, or his lov
ing kindness doubt.

be past finding out,
Aud it's very sinful to murmur, and over
our trials brood,
But 10 bear them in white-hpped silence,
God never meant that we should.
For don't you remember, Margery, when
two sisters mourned their dead,
How "Jesus wept" and "was troubled, y
fsBehold how he loved him" they said.
Ny heart is very tired, I echo the poets
cry,
'T'm tired Of this snowy seeming and the
life that is half life,
And ] long for something that's true IN
life in these days Of clever cram,
There's so little that's truly genuine and
so much that's only sham.
But my letter is growing lengthy, 'Brev-

And the "secret in the great art o letter

So / shall have to dispense with the Eek

And hoping sincerely to hear from you
