1t is vexed question that can only be
solved by experiment. and meanwhile the
average citizen persists in thinking and be-
lieviug that for n real easy-going, Sybaritic,
Capuan life that of the messenger-boy takes
the cake. One thing Is certain; when a boy
does not like his job he is not long in MAXI
ing a change.
III. 6. Phillips, who has recently resumed
the SUPPLEMENTARY Of the Gold and Stock
Telegraph Company, with which is allied
the American District Telegraph, after a
two years absence from the service, stated
yesterday that while the average life Of a
messenger boy ten years ago was of two
years duration, the average boy now rarely
remains in the employment of the company
for a longer period than six months. AS
there are now two competing companies, the
boys, when dissatisfied, are prone to seek
employment in the rival Office. and in the
force OF the Gold and Stock, numbering 80,
changes are constantly occurring.
An applicant for a position in the mes
senger service must be IA years of age, give
evidence of the possession of brightness and
activity, and is required to accompany his
application with references to two RESPONSE

visions are satisfactory the boy is installed

The PAYERS Union met yesterday and
elected officers for the ensuing term. Ihe
union complains because the city permits
corporations to tear up the streets and EN-
pIoy inexperienced workmen to replace the
disturbed pavement. They claim t MAJ nan da
stroyed, and they and the paving contrac-
tors are saddled with the blame, which
should fall upon the corporations who en-
ploy common laborers who know nothing
about paving and are valuable simply be-
cause they are cheap to replace pavements
that were laid by mechanics.

Building Trades Make Common Cause
With the Strikers.
The Granite-cutters' and Brick-layers'
unions, and Carpenters Union, No. %, are
pledged to assist the striking molders in
their conflict with the Engineers and
Foundrymen's Association. Each of these
uni MS las voted 10 refuse TO work for any
contractor or builder who purchases or uses
iron made in any of the thirteen foundries
in which the union molders have struck.
Representatives of these unions will meet
with the Executive Committee Of the Mold
ers' Union on Thursday evening to decide
on plan Of campaign. The foundries that
will suffer most from this new weapon in
the hands of the striking molders are Nc
COImick Bros and the Architectural, both
of which are largely engaged in making iron
used in buildings.
Another batch of union molders will be
sent East, where employment has been OBJ
tanned for them, this week. This Will di-
mnish the drain on the treasury of the
union. and will take the members departed
out of the reach of temptation to go back to
the shops they left one year ago.

Americans in Mexico.

Consul General Guenther, who is home from the City of Mexico on leave of absence, is indignant at a recent widely published statement that the natives of Mexico are hostile to Ameri- cans residing in that country He says that with the exception of few of the extremely ignorant, the Mexicans have nothing but feelings of great kindness and the highest admiration for the peo- pie of the United States, whether tour- ists or residents.
 He says, too, that there is n very de. cided misunderstanding with regard to the extent of our trado with Mexico. Our Mexican exports, he says, are greater than those of all the rest of the world put together. They are certain ly $l6, O00, GOO more than those of En- gland, while Germany, in spite of the large number of her citizens actually engaged in business in Mexico, ranks only fourth.
 There is certainly no reason for the existence of any animosity on the part of the people of Mexico toward lhe ped pie of the United States. Our sister republic must understand by this time that we have no design upon her na- tional existence, Ho desire tn subjugate nr annex her, and no intention of Tn. terfering with her in any way. is to trade relations, it is natural and ineYit- able that they should increase. Our producers have learned. or are begin ming to learn, tp manufacture wares suited to the needs and wants of the Mexican people, and to put them into convenient shape for transportation. Proximity and convenience are won dertul factors in commerce., and ia these respects we possess sn immense advantage over all the rest of the world. Mexico Is sure t9 become Americauized to certain extent ia time, but that ez- tent will be simply the adoption of Amencaa business ways and methods, and viii not trench ia any way upon IEe national feeling UT sentiment of the Mexican people

The trade of politics is by no means a good one in this country, nor is i. generally profitable even as . pssa,ae, as the history of Geo. w. Delamater abundanily shows On the demand of Senator Quay, the Republican conven. ton, last fall, nominnted him for gov ernor of Pennsylvania Up to that time Delamater was supposed to be prosperous banker; but the expenses of that campaign, in which Quay put forth ull his efforts to seat Delamuter in the governors chair, making the result of the campaign the test of his own vindi- cation, undoubtedly had much to to with the breaking of the Delnmater bank and the financial ruin of Delama- ter himself His crushing defeat car ried down his bank with him and swept away everything he possessed in the world. The failure was bad one, and the assignees of the estate have been SO assiduous in gathering up the relics thai few days ago all of Delamaters household furniture was sold at auction, even to the family bedding and bed steads, Delamater himself is reported to have left the State for good and come West. His family, it is said, will follow him as sood as he has fixed upon the place where he proposes to begin life anew. Optic.

 The evidence against Lozarfo is al ciFeumstaniial, but it is very strong. The man killed was Antonio Calanto. He and Lozario had been employed by Lieut. Johnson, the Indian Agent at Fort Apache They. were discharged on July 3d, and Lozario was ordered off the reservation, but Calauto was told he could remain and could get more work in twenty days. He told the Lieutenant that he had friends on the Gila and would come down with Loza- rio and spend few days in visiting them.
 Calauto was paid S130 and Lozario received s2S, and they both left Apache together. On the way from Apache the two nen were seen together, tray- cling on foot, by three different parties -Thos Pietett, Cal Cox and Mex can.
 Antonio Cslantc never reached Thom- as, Lozaio appearing there alone on the 9th of July with plenty of money, which he spent freely, going on q spree with a Mexican freighter whom he met there He bought suit of clothes from Johnny Alexander for which he paid S2j; at the same time he deposited S5e 70 Nis credit, erd Mir. Alexander testified that be atill had between S35 and $40 in his hands. After be had left Thomas for Wilcox the dead man was found ia the river, suspicion restefl upon him and hIs movements while in Thomas were closely investigated. His old clothes left at AleSander's where he bought the new suit we're found to be bloody He was followed to Wilcox by Deputy Sheriff Sollars and iConsta- bic Cooper and arrested 6s stated last week.
 Ills preliminary examination was held before Justice Reshau, who found the evidence quite sufficient to commit him to the grand jury on the charge of mur- der. without bail h the preliminary hearing Lozario made statemen. to tho effect that he left Apache alone, and fraYeied by hin self to Thomas and saw To one Oh the road. This Is known to be falao, as Picket and Cox have both kaaHu Ailn for years and positively identify him as being seen with another man answering in size to the one mur jarcd Oh July 5th, on the trail leading from TLomas 10 HRmpson's ranch on Eagle Greek.
 The feeling in Thomas was very bit ter against the prisoner when he was brought back there from Wilcox, and there was some talk of taking his case before Judge Lynch for speedy trial. but the officers were on the alert and prevented the consgmmation of what ever was intended in that direction.

Ammonia to supereede steam.
New York sun.l

'fN''''t
 A few days ago tug steamed away from the Castle Garden landing with n small party of engineers, who mani fested deep interest in the engine room. The tug went down the bay, past the picturesque heights of Staten Island and toward the Narrows. An ordinary passenger would have noticed nothing at first to excite his curiosity. Unless otherwise informed, he would have disembarked at the end of the lQnipey with no other thought than that the boat had cut through the water at high rate of speed. But if he had stepped into the engine room he would have been greeted wilh an unmistnka- bic whiif of ammonia, and had he de. scended the ladder into the stokehole he probably would have made speedy retreat to the open deck, where, with watery eyes and nostrils filled with the pungent gas, he would have realized that there was something peculiar about the boat after all
 The only real difference, however, was that the tug was propelled by aqua ammonia instead of by the ordinary water steam. This tug which gave the engineers 20 much to talk about was the Edwin D. Hartley, the only boat in the world in which ammonia is used as motive power, The Hartley, which has an iron ful', is eighty five feet long She has compound engine, and was fitted with tho most perfect aqua am- monia appliances, patented by the Campbell Engine Company, at the shipyard of J. II. Dialogue X Company, in Philadelphia, under the direction of William B. Reaney, marine engineer of that city.
 Chemists and other scientific men have been trying for years to counter act the difficulties in applying ammonia to steam engines. James II. Campbell was the first to succeed His invention promises to reyoluiiouize the present system Of running steam engines. The same engine now run by steam by very siigh. changes may be constructed to be run by ammonia. and this aqua an, mouia engine may then be run by steam If desired The Campbell En- zine Company, which holds the patents, has nethng to do with the engines themselves, but only changes the mode Of running them
 Tests made wlth the experimental engine of the company during the last two or three years shows that ammonia accnmplishes wonderful things when combined with water in the ratio of about fifteen parts ammonia to eighty five parts water. Some of the adyan- tages claimed for the aqua ammonia plant are that t requires but ha'f as much fuel as the ordinary steam engine 10 do the same amount of work, and that t is non explosive and leaves no se,limentary deposit in the boilers If any 'hipg, ammonia acts as a cleansing medium upon the boilers, for fl has tendency to preserve iron. With am monia II is claimed that boilers can be operated full five times as long es when steam IS used, Besides, they are aaid to require no cleansing,

Mining Notes From Clirron.

Judge F, l.. B. Goodwin returned from Clifton on Tuesday. He reports the yarious mining enterprises in that vicinity to be moving ahead with evi- dence of an increased prosperity for the future. The Arizona Copper Com pany is now running three furnaces steadily with abundance of ore and the mines yielding satisfactorily. The Co., ronado mine which was once abandoned as worthless is now considered as one of their most valuable properties.
 Tke Detroit Copper company at Mo renci ig also running at full capacity, and have recently struck body of ore in one of their mines that is almost pure metal about 95 per cent copper.
 Messrs Hudson & Dessert, of Ethel have made three clean-ups from their new mill, and results have been much better than they had expected, conse- quently the feeling is one of satisfac- ton in that camp.
 The Copper King company, under the management of Hon. David Cough, have ahout completed their tramwsy over which they will transport ore from the mines to the shelter plant at Orc. Machinery has been received for con- ccntrators and they will be erected soon. -Bulletin.
