Noble Self-Sacrifice.
Spokane Falls Chronicle.

No one surely questions the propriety of pro-
viding for the professional gentlemen who have
endured the perils and privations OF an overland
journey to this remote section of the country,
leaving their happy, comfortable hoaes, their
friends and old-time neighbors, for the purpose
of serving the new state. Such noble sacrifice
should be rewarded. Judge Calkins had q
happy home in Indiana and was surrounded
with every comfort and luxury. But what were
these to him when young and struggling com.
munity needed him? He abandoned all and
came::to US. Being professional politician, he
felt himself peculiarly fitted for the position in
which he was willing to serve the state. He
came first to Spokane, but being advised that
the people could not well avail themselves of
his services II be remained here he moved again,

Discrimination Against Home Industry.

The Seattle Chamber OF Commerce has appro-
priated the munifcent sum of 800 for the per
chase of copies of the immense forty-page holt
day editions of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and
Telegraph, each paper to receive $780, Such
liberal encouragement as that is worthy of note,
especially when considered in connection with
the fact that at the same meeting an advertising
proposition, submitted by representative of
Freak Leslie's Illustrated Weekty and involving
an expenditure OF 5000 for eight pages of Illus
trations and four pages of reading matter, toge-
Their with $500 extra copies of the paper, was
taken under sdyisenent, and proposition from
the publishers of the Northwest Ndcdztne for an
illustrated article in the February number was
accepted. The very marked discrimination in
favor of outside publications is both unfair and
imuoIitie

THE KING OF LILLIPUT.

Colonel Tom Ewing, OF Seattle, Is by far the
mort picturesque figure in the senatorial fight
now on at Olympia. 1t is in his speech rather
than in his personal appearance that Colonel
Toms picturesqueness consists. He is an ex-
ceedingly plain-spoken man and he is opposed
to Senator Squire. Everybody finds this out
within five minutes after he reaches the capital.

Judge Miner, OF Detroit. has introduced in the
Michigan legislature bill 70 provide for the
election OF presidential electors in that state by
congressional districts. He has satisfied him
self that the law viii be constitutional, of which
there is no room for doubt, and claims that if
generally adopted it would go far toward doing
away with seetionslism and would efectually
destroy the undue influence of so-called "pivo-
tai states" No doubt is entertained about the
passage OF this law, and its workings will be
watched with interert throughout the country.
If universally adopted this plan would abso-
lutely equalize the voting power of citizens of

According to the New Orleans Picdystne all
authorities are agreed that the Louisiana sugar

The Chart Trial.

A jury was secured last evening in the case of the territory vs. John Cbart, charged with murder. After being sworn in they were turned over to the bailiff to look after them dur ing the recess of the court and they remained in the courthouse during the night. The trial has occupied the entire time of the court to-day ard it will probably be Monday or Tuesday before the case is concluded. The following is the list of jurors whose duty it will be to decide the case: C. B. Coulson. \. A. Johns. L. W: Taylor, NJ. Grouse, E.L Higdon, John Snyder, Richard Brown, NJ. W. T. Williams. J. D. Ken nedy, F. J. Farley, Joseph Camp DGIl.

Mining Intelligence.

The new tunnel being run to tau the Senator vein is now in about 300 feet. The mill continues to run sue cessfully.
 Ferguson and Burmister's Jersey Lily mine is lying idle. This is good gold property. and runs about $50 in free gold. The vein is we'll de fined, about Is inches in thickness. and can be easily worked.
 The water has all been taken from the Silver Belt mine and the old workings have been thoroughly cleaned out and the work of taking out ore will be commenced to-mor- row. Superintendent Clark brought in another fine large specimen of ore to-day from the mine. It will go away up in the thousands in silver.
 A new discovery has been made about two miles west of the old Rail road mine, Hassayampa district. by Burrows and Golf, two good miners and prospectors. The vein is in porphyry, carrying gold and silver. and averages about Sl00 per ton, principally gold. They have started a tunnel on the vein, to determine its extent and richness.
 The main tunnel on Dan O'Boyle's Grayhound mine is now in about 30 feet, all in quartz and ore. The cross-cut at the 50-foot level Is fin ished and shows a 36-foot ledge. Ii is the intention of the owners to still push the tunnel until a depth of 250 feet shall be reached. when an east and west cross-cut will be run to determine the extent of the ore body. This is valuable piece of property. and will prove the merits of the big mines of the Hassavampa district. in which it is located. The owners of this property deserve to strike it rich. |. $. Jackson has charge of the mine.
 .sPiute D ike" is the name of mineral vein or dyke. situated about one and &-half miles below the Blue Dick, Hass lyampa district, and is known by every cid prospector in Yavapai county. It has been loca- ted and relocated for years. but un- til lately nothing has been done on the property. About three months ago W. H. Ferguson and son made a discovery that proves that Yavapai county has merely been run over, and that close prospecting is all that is wanted to open up new and lasting dividehd-paying mines. The ore is in silicate of iron, carrying a high grade of horn silver and chlo- rides. The main shaft is now down 40 feet. and has more than paid Nx- penses. The vein at this depth is strong and we'll defined, and shows every indication of permanence. R. ii. Burmister, who Is interested with Mir. Ferguson, has men work ing on the property getting out shipping ore. Some assays go as high as 200 ounces in silver.

Mining Intelligence.

The Financial and Mining Rec ord of New York contains the fol lowing concerning a Yavapai county mining property-the Yuma Cop per Company's mines: Messrs. Prange and Berkey, vice-president and treasurer of the company, have just arrived at St. Louis, from a visit 10 the property and report everything in excellent condition. When they left, the reservoir at the shelter, which has a surface of 15O square feet, had six feet of water all over it, and in some places it was seven feet deep. Water was then running at the rate of 10000 gallons a day, and 10000 was being used by shelter. The shelter was closed down a day or two for slight re- pair, but has been turning out six tons of bullion a day. There has been no shipment, owing to freight rates. Both Phenix and Prescott want shipments, and the company has been waiting for cheapest rate. There are 20 tons of bullion, valued at S35O, on hand, and by July lst, when the first shipment will be made, there will be 30 tons. There Is on the dump ready for smelling about 5000 tons. or enough to run the shelter two months. Bullion, after 1t leaves the shelter, assays 93,7 per cent. copper and Sl00 in gold and silver. Water is now be- ing taken out of the Metacomet shaft, and the mine by this time is m condition for an output of 100 tons day. As soon as the water Is out, miners will be put at work stoping ore. The company thinks that the property is one that should be worked on a large scale. It IS proposed to put down three com partment shafts, 1000 feet, over by the Neenah shaft, where the big mother lode of rich copper is. This alone will give them ore enough to run three or four smelters. Two new 50-ton smelters are to be erect ed at once.
 Superintendent Bradstreet, of the Phenix mine, received instructions last evening from his company in New York. to the effect that arrange ments for building the new 70Lstamp mill were about completed, and that everything was now favorable for speedy completion of this extensive improvement. In about ten days, probably, work will begin. and the stamps ready to drop next Septem- Der. Two rows of 3o stamps each will face each other so that the ore can be fed to both from the same delivery car or bin.-Phenix Herald.
