A ~GRATLFYING FACE

No fact in relation to SILVER is more sig
uifcant and at the same time more graft
flying than the constant appreciation in
the market price of silver bullion in face
Of the fact that under the existing law
the secretary Of the treasury may practi-
cally suspend the coinage of silver after
next Wednesday. The provision OF the
law in regard to this matter Is as follows:
Sec. 8. That the secretary Of the treas
ury shall each month coin , OcO. 900 ounces
of silver bullion purchased under the pro
visions of this act into STANDARD silver dol
lars until the first day OF July. 1891 and
after that time he shall coin OF the silver
bullion purchased under the provisions II
this act as much As NAV be necessary 10
provide for the redemption of the treas
ury notes herein provided for, and any
gain or s~eignorage arising from such coin
age shall be accounted for and paid into
the treasury.
In addition to this it Is provided IN
section > of the same act that the treasury
notes issued in lieu OF the silver bullion
purchased by the government at its mar
ket value. shall be rcieemable in gold. OF
silver coin at the discretion OF the see
Rotary of the treasury. This, therefore,
places an unsettled value on silver, render

has been at any time since she passage oI

That the price OF silver should be man
tanned at 81 an ounce in view Of this con
dition is IN every way remarkable. 1t Is
unmistakable evidence Of a settled popular
belief that the government can no longer
do without the much abused silver in Its
financial transactions and that the sec

that way or not, must as a matter OF ne

calamity, MAINTAIN silver coinage even

Northwestern Kansas IS reduced to 8 state of absolute starvation. For four years Brooks, Phillips, Norton, Ora ham, Decatur, Sheridan, Thomas, and Rawiins counties have had no refresh ing rains, and consequently TO crops were raised Each succeeding spring saw the farmer less able to prepare his land for the seed, and the autumn brought him no relief One by one his horses and cattle were sold to provide means to carry his family through the winter. When the same drought came last summer and the crops were dried and withered in the fields there began on exodus from the od-forsaken coun- try, and all those who had any means left to pay travelling expenses started to get away from the sterile land. So far there has been no concerted action looking to the relief Of these uniortun- ates, but there has on the other hand been an effort to prevent the publica- ton of the true condition through fear that such publicity would be detri- meut to the State at large and deter immigrants from coming in.

All the Sioux chiefs of the hostile band at Pine Ridge agency, excepting Short Bull, had conference with Gen. Miles on the 14th, and agreed that the hostiles should move their camp within q half mile of the agency. The Indians also agreed to surrender their arms to Agent Pierce, which are to be sold and the proceeds returned to the Indians. The chiefs promised to surrender the buck who killed Lieut. Casey. Gen. Miles was so pleased with the friendly disposition of the chiefs that he sent to their camp several thousand pounds of hou, and several hundred pounds of coffee and sugar. The Indians were given q few days to redeem their promise.

There is a certain faction of the 16th Legislative Assembly, which meets on Monday, that ''is still for Jackson" and are ready for political fight to the finish without regard to the welfare of the Territory. They profess unbound ed loyalty for the advancement of the commonwealth, when in fact they are wholly imbued with Q selfish desire to rule on ruin. They expect all others to become corn to their mill, and those who unwittingly further their unhal- lowed schemes should be execrated by betrayed constituency.

An impression having prevailed that Chief Justice Gooding had made a de- cision on the new grand jury law, at variance with the ruling of Judges Kib- bey and Sloan, the Herald man took pains to discover that this WAS untrue, No such decision has heen made. No question was ever raised by any indict- ed party before the Chief Justice on the point in question. On the contrary counsel for q man charged with mur- der, at Prescott, insisted upon trial re- gardless of how the grand jury was composed. At that trial the jury dis agreed, so that the prisoner remains in statu quo.
 It is further understood that Chief Justice Gooding holds, under the Ari- zona statutes, that prisoner must raise any objection against the grand jury, before going to trial. If not, he valves the objection and cannot take advantage of it afterwards.
 Under such holding no Yuma pris- oners could be discharged, as they nev- CT took advantage of the grand jury point at the proper time -PhGnix Herald.

INDIANS rswmurrnp or JrsrIcs.


 Our Government so far as Indian in- cendiaries and mufderers are con cerned, k apologetic. We know and can name savuges even after indictment for perpetration of the highest crimes from the civil power, and not only given their liberty but employed as scouts and otherwise confded in as agents in the performance of public trusts. Not so with the whites. Those of them who are infractors of the law are imprisoned, and if the offence war rants, hanged. The question is: Are the whites more dangerous to the peace of society than the Indians, that dis crimiuation should be made in favor of the latter? Apply the Mosaic law, ''an eye for an eye" Co whites and Indians alike. 1t will not do to love the onen- der in either case and detest the of fence. Let equal justice to all men prevail; not approve the red mans crime by combining his offence, and vote halter for the white man.
 Had not this been the case ''the boys in blue" would not now be waist deep in snow on the picket line, guarding Pine Ridge agency from the apllica- ton of the incendiaries' torch, exp psed to bleak winds in temperature as low as twenty degrees below zero, and Ut times, during blizzard, ten degrees colder.
 ''Is it any wonder then," says cor respondent, ''that these men do not look like the trim soldiers we are ac,ms- toned to see in Fourthof July parades The natty uniforms are hidden under great buffalo coats, muskrat skin cap is worn and gloves of the same material. The feet are protected by big arttics over the ordinary footwear. Even with all this it is hard to keep warm. The soldiers in the field have Sibley teIts, a conical canvas afair, much like the tepees of the Sioux. At the base of each tent-pole is little sheet-iron stove, iu shape very much like the tent itself Fourteen soldiers find shelter ill each tent. A blauket-bag is pro vided for each man, and they sleep around with their feet 10 the tent-pole like the spokes of wheel. Sentry duty is, of course, frightfully arduous, but the watches are made very short. If there is no scouting expedition the morning is taken up with caring for the horses and trying to keep warm. Reveille is at 6:30 o'clock, and five minutes after the soldiers have crawled from their warm blanket bags they are at the cook tent with meat-can and tin cup to get their breakfast. Beans, bacon, hardtack and black coffee make mp the bill of fare
 The question naturally suggests it. self, how do the Indians, less warmly clad, survive such pinching weather? As we'll might it be asked how do the Esquimaux survive an arctic winter? and be answered, it is their home and they are inured to the rigor of the eli mate. The Sioux, as well as the soldier, are tented, and were it not for their war paint and the feathers which adorn their heads, they might freeze to death.

ruE COPPER nssiNG INDUSTRY.

Notwithstanding the onormt con sumption of copper, the high prices which ruled during the year 1890 had the effect to stimulate production to such m extent thnt the close of the year found large stocks in producers hands, and the pressure caused by a desire to realize, and the disinclinrtion of consumers to buy, has caused the market to slump, and although the price has declined ? cents per pound for Lake, there appears to be no sta bility to the market nor assurance that before the opening of navigation on the great lakes copper will not suffer n further decline In price.
 However, the price now ruling Q4t for Lake) would seem to be moderate figure, and as the consumption of cop per--in view of the unparalleled ex- pansion of electrical manufacture, and the growing consumption of copper in other industries-is steadily increasing, a price nearly approximating that figure may be reasonably expected to prevail during the ensuing year.
 The Engineering and Mining Jour nal gives the production at copper in the United States in 1890 of PTS, ,610, 00e pounds, far exceeding any previous record and surpassing that of 1889 by 33,034, GOO pounds. To Montana mines is credited by far the largest propor- ton of this increase, while Arizona dis tanced all former records, The Ana conda mine made the unprecedented output of 64,046, SIP pounds in 1890, a gain over the previous year of about 5000, 900 pounds. The production of the Calumet and Hecla, in 1890. was 59,000.000 as compared with 4S,640, 029 pounds in 1SS9 Arizona copper mines increased their output almost 5000, 000 pounds, the United Verde, in Yayapai county, and Old Dominion Company, of Globe, being tue only ones showing any considerable gain, the Clifton mines falling off in produc- ton more than 3,000,0O0 pounds, To Arizona's production must be added almost 400, 1000 pounds produced by the Buffalo, of Globe, not taken account of.
 Notwithstanding repeated assurances through the public press that the stocks of copper accumulated by the defunct French syndicate had beenall absorbed, it now transpires that more than 2l, 00o, 1000 pounds remain undisposed of, and stocks of copper ill the United States have increased II, 900, OO0 pounds during the year. 4 hopeful feature is the fact that stocks iii Europe have steadily decreased during the past year, and We will, doubtless, be able to find market there for much of our surplus metal,
 On the whole, the outlook for the copper industry for the ensuing year is not discouraging. While the decreased price may cause the stoppage of some of the small producers, yet eonsump- tion will be in creased, and much gained from more stable market, an advan- tage readily appreciated,

The pittance appropriated by Con gress for the preservation of the C8sa Grande ruins is to be expended by the government agent, Mir, Mindeleif, in erecting brick wall about the ruins, thus completely hiding them from view, and destroying any value that they may possess, unless it is the intention of the Government, ill the fur distant future, to tear down the brick wall again, and give poeterity peep at the historical pile. The Enterprise says n better plan is suggested by Judge J. D. Walker, who would have the walls re- paired and restored to their original condition and roofed in the manner tradition speaks of it. Then he would have the entire reservation fenced and planted to the characteristic products of Arizona for a public park, while n museum of prehistoric relics would oc- cupy the ancient castle.
