county, and surveyed and mapped the
village of Cohoes, and in the following
year made the survey and map of Della
ware county, and organized and de-
spatched parties to survey Lake
and Geauga counties, Ohio, and
Oakland county, Michigan. From
these surveys he accumulated $4,000.
In 1857 he became the largest stock
holder and director in the Strouds-
burg, Pa, bank. Shortly after the crisis
he bought the bonds of the Rutland and
Washington railroad at ten cents on the
dollar, abandoning every other interest
and putting all his money into railroad
securities. For long time he was pres
ident, treasurer, and general lsuperintend-
ent of this company. He brought about
a consolidation of the Rensselaer, and
Saratoga road, and with the proceeds
removed to New York city in 1859, cs-
tabished himself as a broker, and in
vested heavily in Erie railway stock. He
entered the directory of that company
and became president, holding the Of
flee till the reorganization of the direc-
tory in 1872. He then made large pur
chases OF the stocks of the Union Pa
ci6c, the Waba1L, the Texas Pacific, the
st. Louis and Northern, the Missouri Pa
cihc, and the Missouri, Kansas and Tex
as railroad companies, taking the latter
out of the hands OF its receiver. He also
invested deeply in the stock of the Allan
tic and Pacific telegraph company, aud
on its consolidation with the Western
Union he organized the American Union
(1S79), which was merged into the
Western Union in 1881. In December,
1880, official records showed that Mr..
Gould was in control Of 10000 miles of
railroad, or more than one-ninth OF the
entire mileage of the country.
Early in 1881 he became interested i'll
the elevated railroad system of New
York city. A doubt having been cast
upon his financial standing, he sum-
moned several gentlemen to his private
office on the 18th day of March, 1882,
and spread before them for examination
certificates OF stocks having face value
of $53 100000, all in his own name and
offered to produce $40 100000 more if
desired. In March, 1887, Mr.. Gould pur-
chased a controlling interest in the st.
Louis and San Francisco railroad com.
pany, which has an aggregate mileage of
nearly 900 miles, and is joint owner
with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
l'e railroad company, of the Atlantic
ana Pacific, and the western portion OF
the Southern Pacific railroad companies.

TIE CON-. CREEK MINERS
ANOTHER OUTBREAK PROB,
ABLE BY TIIEM.
The Old Leaders Back in Camp
to Stir Up DIssensiOn-The Garri-
SON at Fort Anderson In Good
Fighting order.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec, "a spe-
cial from Coal Creek says serious out
break may occur among the miners in
few days. A strike has been declared ct
the Black Diamond mine. The non.union
men employed in that mine refused to
become members of the union. The union
men held meeting and decided to de-
mand the discharge of the non-union
men, making threats of various kinds
should their demands not he complied
with. The management responded 10y
discharging seven of the union men who
had been prominent in the meeting. The
refusal of the demand to reinstatt the
discharged men brought about hestrike.
If the strikers do what they threaten
there is likely to be another war there.
The leaders who fed to Kentucky when
the crisis came in August have all re-
turned and walk the public highways
with impunity, making threats about
what they intend to do next time.
The garrison at Fort Anderson is in
good trim and if the miners expect to
have an easy time they will be badly dis

VOTED DOWN.
The Monetary Conference Will
Come to Nothing.


LONDON, Dec. 1.-The committee of the
International Monetary conference APP
pointed to consider proposals submitted
by Alfred De Rothschilds voted last night
against the scheme formulated by Mr..
Rothschild. This, however, is not taken
as bi-metalist defeat. The committee
will now proceed to decide upon the De
Rothschild and Soeber combined plans
with the notifications proposed.
1t is expected that, besides the major
itv report of the committee a minority
report, signed by dissenting delegates,
will be presented to the conference to-
morrow.
The prospects of an early agreement Of
the conference on any plan has become
very doubtful.
The delegates are haying most pleas
ant time in social way. Entertain
ments for them are of nightly occurrence.
NJ. Montcfeiro Levi, president of the
conference, has engaged M. Coquetin,
the famous actor with company to
play THE Tanning of the Shrew." The
performance will be given especially for
the delegates Monday. King Leopold
will give the representatives special re-
ccption and luncheon at the palace next
week. They will also attend a banquet
given by the municipal authorities and
reception given by the National Bank.
CALCUTTA, Dec. 2-The newspaper
press OF Indie is watching with anxious
interest the proceedings of the Monetary
Conference. The Allahbah Pioneer says
that it is odd that the submitting
of proposals should have developed upon
Mr.. De Rothschild as the anti-slver leg
islation of the past 20 years has found
support among Jewish hnanciers, espe-
cially the De Rethscbilds, who, as holders
of chief government stocks, gained enor
mously through the appreciation o.
gold. Probably the Barring crisis
opened the eyes over of De RothSchilds
to the fact that the present strain in
volved by the scarcity of gold may be
carried too tar and bring on disaster
that would obliterate the advantages
secured by the moneycd interests.
The Bombay Times says that India
holds that De Rothschld's scheme would
have led the way to the ultimate adop'
ton of international bimetalism.
BRUSSELS, Dec. 2.-1'he report OF the
committee was submitted this afternoon
1t declares that Mr.. De Rothschiids pro
posals are of great interest and worthy
of full discussion, but the committee b,
a vote of seven to six declined to recon
mend their adoption. The committee de
clared in favor OF that portion in Lens
plan which refers to a gradual with
drawal of all gold coin under the valu
of two francs and also of all small baul
notes below certain value. The re
port concludes with the statement OF tn
; American, Mexican and Indian delegate
} with reference to the future action c
their countries. This last statement i
not yet obtainable.

SUCH A ROBBIGRY!
The Judge GOber Case In tile
Georgia I.egisIature.

ATLANTA, Dec. 2.-Thc joint committee
Of the senate aud house appointed to in
vestigate the charges against Judge
Gober determined not to hear oral argu-
ment from counsel, either for the memo
riaists or for Judge Gober.
This action of the committee produced
a great sensation and large crowd,
numbering many members of the Legis.
lature had gathered at the capitol to
hear the concluding argument. There
was more excitement when it was found
that the committee had subsequently
decided to have no speaking. The spec
tators then resolved themselves into an
investigation meeting and several speak
ers sharply criticised the committee.
The investigation has been going on
for six weeks and Il great deal of bad
blood has been engendercd between
Judge Goher and Attorney Glenn. ust
before the charges were made against
Judge Gober, and presented to the legis-
lature, there was considerable discussion
as to his being made Supreme Court
Judge, and several newspapers charged
that he was on the slate with Atkinson,
speaker of the House of Representatives
and Coy, president of the Senate. Atkin-
son and Coy were elected, but Gober's
name was not pressed for consideration.

It has truly been said-that the Demo cratic party thrives bes. when times are bad, and it is probably because they recognize that fact that some of the Democratic leaders matched up the scheme of trying to force gold to pre- mium by demanding the redemption of treasury notes in gold coin, which failed So miserably in New York. early last week. Treasury officials, when asked about the scheme, say that there Is no danger of its succeeding. Nevertheless it shows that the Democratic party leaders would be perfectly wiling to throw the country into financial panic, with all its accompanying misery, in or der to gain few votes from those who always hold tEe political party in con trol of the government responsible for financial troubles. It is enc of the most disgraceful cases of political chicanery in the history of the country and ought to prove a boomerang ot
 
 party out of existence. It is by po means the first time that the Demo crats have tried to destroy confidence in our financial system. Away back. wh en a Republican congress authorized the resumption of specie payments and a Republican administration did resume, every prominent Democrat upended himself and howeled "it can't be done" But it was done, just as gold was the other day paid for those treasury notes presented to the sub-treasury ID New York. Ire question for every intelli- gent voter to ask himself IS: Should the party which has repeatedly attemp> ted to injure the financial system of the country and to precipitate panic be trusted to control the country?

bounty then we would be compelled to send 500O0000 out of the country each year with which to buy sugar. h that event our country would lose, in cash, the Sl50,000,OO0 pad for sugar. If, on the other hand. we should make all our own sugar in this country, that amount of money would be distributed among our own people, and almost the entire amount would be paid for wages of some kind of work. I The money so paid might be more than that sum; but il would go from hand to hand among our own people and would in no way deplete the wealth of the nation.
 The above article Is from the New York Tribune from the able pen of eX Congressman R. 0. Horr, an able speak CT and writer, and is one of the many instructive proofs that go to prove the immense benefits to be derived from protection. This principle of protection is as much identified with the life aud commercial success of this nation as food and water are necessarily identified with the sustenance of the human body. It is a plain, simple, truthful problem that will make itself known to every home and cabin in America.

AN ARIZONA DAY.

This is August the 24th and the sky is bright and clear and the air bracing and iUvigorating and Tucson is all hustle and life. The lot wave of sum- mer has somewhat exhausted itself and the lightning storm has electrified the at mosphere and cleaused 1t of its sultri- ness. Many who are away will shortly be turning their faces homeward, for no matter where you travel those beautiful calm sunshjny days of ArIzons will come to you like cherished memories of a dearest friend that has helped one in sickness, strengthened one in an hour of debility and sent the flush of health back to your face once more. As many turn their eyes to the north star to guide them, SC should the health seek CTS who have had an experience in Ari- zona tell their friends to cast their eyes toward the health restoring Canaan of the United States; the land of sunshine, the land of flowers and fruit; the silver and gold mecca of the United.

alarmist, but there is an hour of positive emergency that demands action. A city can never thrive without proper sanitary precautions.
 The city of Tucson has between 5000 and 10000 floating and stationary popu- laJiop, a ciCy closely and compactly built with no sewerage. The present system of sanitary precautiOn is bad and totally 1T adequate to the needs of the city. The closet system now in vogue will breed scarlet fever, typhoid fever, billiousness and ali manner of derange- ments in the catalogue of medical scI- ence if allowed to go on as it has in the past. Of course there are many locali- ties in the city not effected in this man. Fer. Their equipments are no doubt the best. But suppose an epidemic should start what would you have to stay Its progress? IL would leap from vault to vault, from house to house, there would be death scene upon every SONNh" | bc AOH Russia, it has eros sed to France and transplanted itself in Germany. It will no doubt cross the English channel to England and by way of quick ocean steamers seek to plant itself in tbe heart of America. The AsIatic cholera is disease that watts for no reply. It has but one mission, and that is death, one objective campaign, that of execu- tion. 1t not only attacks the first born but the father and mother, the old and the young, and leaves in its trail ore everlasting vail of homes wrecked and blasted, terEorizing desolation. It is becoming on the part of the city iu the face of these coming facts to meet the issue squarely, to put up the lightning rod before the house is struck, to lead the horse out before the stable is burnt down. A sewer system and an adequate water supply are the two urgent neces- sities of the city and as they will have to be arranged and-built the sooner the city council discusses the matter and take suitable action just so soon will they be complying with the united wish of this entire city.

OUR TERRITORY.

Tbe Territory of Arizona is one of tue most conspicuous sItuat- ed in the southwestern tier of territories and states. Bounded by the states of California, Nevada, the Terri tory of Utah on the north, and easterly by New Mexico and Colorado, and southerly by the Republic of Mexico. Geographically it holds no small degree of importance; in resources 1t Is unilmlt- cd, and the pen of description has fallen short of truthful portrayal of what 1t Is capable-o of doing and the field of in- ysstment that it affords to seeking in- vestors. The splendid timber belt, known as the Mogollon forest of l2,0OO square miles of magnificent building material. The great San Francisco range of mountains with its tall pines, beautiful scenery and miniature lakes. The Grand Canyon of the Colorado, the future resort of those who will seek the latest discovered wonders of the west. Mineral fields rich in gold and silver. Surface and subterranean rivers runn- ing waste to the gulf, all waiting the ingenuity and capital backed powers of American perseverance and push to place within her borders 1,000,0 0,0O0 of peo- ule and 5OO.OOO,OOO of taxable wealth.

Death of Mrs, Frank Redoudo,

Since the last issue of the Times death has laid a heavy hand on one of our homes, leaving three motherless lit tie children, the youngest an infant only four days old, and a heart-broken husband and father.
 Last Wednesday morning the house hold of Mir. and Mrs. Frank Redondo was enlarged by the birth of girl. Sunday morning the friends and rela- tives were surprised and shocked to learn the young mother was dead. Some imprudence was believed to have been the immediate cause. The result was so sudden and unexpected that MT. Redondo was half crazed with grief. realize their great loss.
 Mrs. Redondo was a member of the Serrane family and a native of Sonora. Her age was about 30 years. MT Re- dondo and Miss Serrano were married nearly 14'years ago and have lived here ever since. They were very heavy losers Tn the flood of last year, and had recently completed and taken possession of new house. Mrs. Redon6o was so much interested in the furnishing of thelr home that while on her bed she sent to inquire if some new furniture had arrived.
 The funeral took place Monday morn ing from the Catholic church. Nearly all places of bu siness were closed out of respect for the hour. Mir. Redondo has the greatest sympathy of everybody his heavy affi fi.ction.-Yuma Times.
