FoR the benefit Of the Phenix Repub-
Republican we will state that Mohsye
county contains more acres Of irrigable
land than does Haricopa and also that
the climate Of the Colorado river valley
is as tropical as that Of the valley OF the
Salt river. The Republican has more to
learn Of the resources Of Mohsve county
than has the Inter Ocean, and before it
flies off the handle and catechises the
latter journal, should read up on the sub
ject. In Wallapai valley alone there are
one thousand six hundred square miles
OF irrigable lands and vast body Of
water underlying the same which can
readily be used. In the mountains sur
rounding this Wiley there are streams Of
water running down the canyons into the
valleys all the year round. Along the
Colorado river there are thousands Of
acres Of the finest orange lands to be
found on the Pacific coast and there is no
disputing the fact that the Colorado river
contains enough water for irrigation pur-
poses. Another point in favor Of agri-
culture in Mohave county is the unlkeli-
hood Of a food coming down the valley
and picking your farm up and depositing
il upon that Of your nsighbor, as was
done by the recent foods in Salt river.

The Empire still holds its own.

J. p. Finnegan is taking out some 800
dollar ore from his claim near his resi-.
dence.
The contract for running one drift on
the Queen Bee was let TO Wilkinson and
Scott. The other drift is being run by

Too much water In the Black Meta
shaft compelled discrimination of sink
ing on that promising prospect, drifting
however still continues.
Cadden and Labaree have out quite a
lot Of their rich horn silver ore on the
Kanawha Belle. Their first class ore
looks as though it would run two or
three dollars per pound.

time the MINER is again in print Chloride

drill and the dumps will glisten with the
rich mineral that is sure to come TO the
surface.
Mineral Park and vicinity are enjoying
little boom in mining. Whatever way
we go from town we meet the miners
with their dinner buckets going and COM
ing TO work, and the hills resound at all
hours of the day and night with the echo
Of the giant powder blasts.
The photographer who recently came
here from Kingman is doing a land-ofiice
business. Besides photographing all the
young ladies, dudes and babies in town,
he has made innumerable photos OF
mines, dumps, hosting works, houses
etc, and he says he has done more busi-
ness here than in the whole Of the rest Of
the county.
On the Tuckaho the north drift on the
80 foot level after cutting through dyke
of porphery encountered big stream Of
water and streak Of the richest ore eyei
taken from the claim. The ore is native
and glance and runs from 25cts to $ll
per pound. The good ore still holds out
in the bottom Of the shaft, but owing to
the increase Of water sinking has been
discontinued for the present.

EVENTS within the past two months
have, outside Of Congressional legislation
pct an entirely different phase on the
silver situation. The present output Of
the mines in this country is claimed by
well-informed parties to be not more
than, if as much as, the government's
monthly purchases, and with our pro-
duct being cared for by the government,
foreign buyers will absorb the available
surplus Of the world, besides
taking the output Of other silver
producing countries. Already free buy
ing by India, China and Japan is setting
in, while two other nations are quietly
securing round parcels. 1t is said in well
informed financial circles, that foreign
purchases this spring will be unusually
heavy and in consequence prices will
steadily advance.-Mining and Scientific

The Messiah craze among the Indians
Of the North, West and Northwest revives
interest in anything that pertains To the
queer delusion and belief that have been
rife among the different tribes for the past
century. 1t is remembered now that in
1888, the Sanpoels, a small tribe in
what was then Washington Territory
became greatly agitated over the teaching
of an old chief who professed TO believe
that another food was near at hand. He
said that the Great Spirit had command
ed him 10 collect tribute ami build an ark
that would outride the waves. His great
canoe, ll2x28S is still to be seen in an
unfinished condition near one Of the
tributaries of the Columbia.

and we find no difficulty in believing it.
1t is with scores Of such strokes that she
fingers over a character as bestial as any
hog that ever ate from trough
This very perception of physical attri-
butes leads TO some pretty word paint
ings. when the subject chances to be
attractive. There is touch OF grace IN
the picture Of the heroine hastily slipping
on pair OF mans shoes in the night to
wait on her sick friend, ''ier little ankles
were ike white fiower-stems rising from
clods OF soil" Again there is something
vivid in this simile used in describing a
fat. red old woman: -She had deep
dimples in each cheek, which looked as
though drawn in with buttons, like the
divisions in tufted crimson chair" But
perhaps the best touch in the story is
when some painful recollection is mad
vertantly brought up from the past, "Itis
these bits Of jetsam and fotsam from the
past which, washed in upon the shores
of the present, sadden for US its blue
waters and clear sands, and make us
think of the bones whitening under the
sea and of the fair ships that have gone
down." But these occasional CLEANS of
grace no more make a good story than
the sparse raisins in a bakers cake
make a good cake. As a whole, the
story is high-pitched and theatrical I;
there is no relief from the Mysteries,
which occur on every page. The charac-
tiers sob, weep, rage and embrace in the
most above-board way imaginable. There
is nothing sacred, no reserve; from the
sick woman kissing her old love letters
to the man caressing his dead wife; from
the dainty young girl telling the coarse
old French woman of her newly awak-
enedlove; on through the whole story all
these things occur in the presence of at
least one curious spectator. Delicacy
and purity are SO closely allied, that all
these public exhibitions alone would give
certain air of vulgarity to the story
were it net otherwise so abundantly
supplied.

AMELIE RIvEs AGAIN.

Amelie Rives Chandler has answered
the question that was SO warmly debated
lew years ago concerning her literary
future. Even her harshest critics, OF the
old days, admitted that time might ripen
her unquestionable ability and prune
away the ford crudities of some Of her
earlier stories. Her marriage and re-
moval to Paris to study ant have left, for
several years, an open issue whether, as
an author, she were to be quick or dead.
On this account more than any other a
very general interest has been felt in her
new novelette,, advertised with much
flourish o. trumpets by the Cosmopolitan.
The third and last installment n,
According to Saint John" came out in
the October number of that magazine.
lime, the developer, has been ripening
Mrs. Chambers crudities; but ripe as
they are, there is little hope that thew
will even drop from the parent stem.
The best touches in the new story are
no advances upon the old, and there are
elements Of brutality and croaseness in
the characters depicted that are more
disagreeable than anything that she has
before written. The chief minor charac-
ter, SO to speak, OF the story, Mdme.
Vamousin, is intended to be strong, but
IS only repulsive. The entire lack of
humor that has been noticeable in all of
Amelie Rives' work is plainly evident
here; the whole sketch of this character
Is laid on with so heavy hand that
only an impression of disgust is left on
the mind. To add to this, the author
retains her old faculty OF making strong
pictures of the purely physical aspects Of
things; she tells us that Mdme. Va

great uncorseted bulk heaving with rage, y
