THIRTY years ago last Tuesday the military expedition for the es- tablishment of Fort Whipple, Ari- zona, made the start, November 7th, 1863, for (old) Fort Wingate, now known as San Rafael, New Mexico. This expedition was ordered out by General Jimmy Carleton, comman- der of the District of New Mexico. The expedition was under the i'm mediate command of Major Willis, of the California Volunteers. Our fellow-townsman, Hon. A. F. Ban ta, was an honorable bullwhacker of that expedition.

Gov. HUGHES report to the Secre- tary of the Interior is an able doc ument, complete and exhaustive, No fault could have been found with it, had he not gone out of his way to misrepresent the sentiments of the people of this territory on the silver question. We are much mis- taken in our estimate of President Cleveland's character, if the Cover nor has gained any prestige by so doing.

Proposed New States.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The house committee on territories has been busy for several weeks, whenever a quorum appeared, in perfecting Sa bill for the admission of Utah. It is thought that the administration has not wished to see the admission of territories pressed just at this time. The fact that the men who will come to the senate and house from the proposed new states would be silver men, has caused the pro- moters of the statehood movement to pause. In order to get around any such difficulty as this, Delegate Joseph of New Mexico has propos- ed to have the bill admitting his territory changed so that the ad- mission will not be operative until 1895.
 For Utah, Arizona and New Mex ico it is proposed to grant them double the amount of land which was granted to the last territories admitted. The reason for this is the grants are made for the purpose of establishing a fund for various institutions, and it is clalmed that the lands which the three territo- ries now knocking at the door will receive are mostly, if not entirely, arid, and fit for nothing until they have been made valuable by a cost ly system of irrigation. The last six states admitted received as grants for the various state institu- tions about 500,OOO acres of land each. The three territories asking for admission will need at least 100000 acres of land within their borders.

In Open Letter to F. N. Cotton,
 R. R. Agent at Navajo.

SrR-Yo0r instructions are to the feGsset Not to receive St. Johns lchecks ;" but "you are allowed to
 accept Albuquerque exchange" {"
 Your office has been so instructed upon several occasions by Mr. C.. E. Crary and others, some of whom may possibly rank a majority of jim crow agents" at jim crow sta tions. As thorough and complete ass you certainly take the cake. It has been intimated to the under signed, by parties little above sta ton agents of the Navajo type, when asked: "Wby such insufera- ble dunces are almost always placed at Navajo and other similar sta tions?" that "the reason for it is plain enough, for hardly any one with brains sufficient to equal an ordinary oyster, could be induced to accept such places" Experience proves this to be an absolute fact; for as a natural proposition, the asinine dolt, by virtue of his quail cations graYitates naturally to his level.
 However, 'tis useless to chide or reason with a fool, for 'tis said: though thou shouldst bury fool in q mortar, yet will not his fool ishness depart from him j" there fore, l shall. hereafter confne my communications upon this and kin dred subjects, to the intelligent press of the country, and through 1t perhaps reach the eye and ear of the more intelligent end of the rail- way company. Why St. Johns, as also other points similarly situated, should be inflicted with the above type of agents at their shipping points, only the Gods themselves know. A. F. BANTA.

THE Journal-Miner says: Word comes in that twenty miles from Prescott, on the Jerome road, par ties have discovered and located a large ledge of high grade copper ore, carrying a fair percentage ot gold and silver. The piece of ore from the discovery brought to this office for inspection is certainly good looking rock.

An Ice Gorge.

Judge Kibbey, who has recently returned from Florence, describes a meteorological phenomenon near there, which, notwithstanding it's extraordinary character, has singu- larly not been previously reported. About three weeks ago a violent hail storm ragged through the south eastern part of the valley, extend ing over the Pinal mountains, but spent it's greatest force in the Casa Grande valley. Thousands of tons ot icy bullets ranging in size from a quail's egg to a half or three quarters of an inch in diameter fell along the course of the canal above Florence, and were swept by the flood toward the canal and were lodged in the water course. Above that point the storm tore cut the banks of the canal. Repairs were made immediately and was turned in, but three-quarters of a mile above Florence, an ice gorge was formed of the accumulated hail. stones, which so thoroughly dam- med the flow of the water that other breaks occurred in the banks. The gorge was about seventy-fve feet in length and depth of four or five feet. The ice remained in the canal ten days, and half the population of Florence and vicinity turned out with gunny sacks and other similar receptacles and carried away large quantity of it. That it should have remained so long unmelted is ac- counted for by the fact that it was partially covered by leaves and dirt which had been washed over it by the flood which immediately fol- lowed the hail storm. This is the first instance on record of an ice gorge in Southern Arizona and :is all the more wonderful that it should have occurred at this season of the year.-Phenix Republican.

There are several men working on the Southern Pride mine, Gold Basin. In running a tunnel to cut the main ledge a blind lead was cut that was several feet in width and fairly glistens with gold. It prom lses to be richer than anything yet discovered on that property. Not a piece of rock, scarcely, can be broken from the ledge without the golden specks showing up abund- antly all through the quartz. The Southern Pride was formerly owned by Judge Schefer, and recently sold by him to Geo. A. Sigafus, of San Diego, who is now developing the mine systematically with the view Of erecting suitable machinery. MT, Sigafus is a practical mining man of large experience and has the reputation of knowing a good thing when be sees it. His excel lent judgment seems to be manifest ing itself ir the present instance at any rate.-- Mineral Wealth.

The body of an unknown man was found dead at Los Vigiles near the hot springs yesterday, There were no marks of violence on his person nor means of identification. He wore a white hat, on which there were spots of red ink, a gray wool coat and vest and new check cred pants. Upon the finding of the remains, an investigation was held before Francisco Giego, justice of the peace in precinct No. 33s- Las Vegas Optic.

National Policy.

That'a majority of the represen- tatives of a great nation should de- liberately adopt a policy which strikes down and ruins one of it's greatest industries is incomprehen- sive, except we assume that those representatives are ignorant, or else willing to sacrifice the general good to private purposes. That is what the majority of the congress of the United States proposes to do with the country's silver mining inter- ests. They cannot plead ignorance, because they have all been repeat edly told the truth. Still with a mullishness only equaled by the president of Wall street they per sist in the course marked out.
 Especially is their course incom- prehensible when one studies the importance of the silver mining in- dustry to the happiness and pros perity of the whole people. It is, and from the beginning of time has been an accompaniment of nation al prosperity. It has furnished one  of the metals of which money has ever been made, and the countries which have produced the money metals have ever been prosperous when they produced them, and rap idly sank into decay when their pro- duetion ceased.
 The time was once when Italy was the greatest metal producing region of the world. It was when Rome was "mistress of the earth" Cr9sus with his millions won from the sands of the Poe and Tiber, it is true debauched a corrupt people and bought crown, but the cor ruptioz was not the cause of mining wealth. Greece had silver mines which made her the only rival of splendid Rome, and the leader in arts and sciences. The silver mines of Spain furnished Hannibal with the sinews of war and gave Spain her importance and greatness. Every one sank in the national scale and lost its prestige when mining ceased. The grandeur of Egypt, Assyria, Persia and Macedon pass ed away with their metallic wealth. Fifty years ago Lahn, a German au- thor, wrote that German precious metal mines were the insensate things which linked the German states to a great and glorious future. To-day German policy has closed her silver mines and broken that link. Whether a wall of steel she has erected in their place will prove as strong, time alone can tell.
 Will this country always obey the dictates of selfish few and go the long road others have travelled before?-Mining Industry.

 J. o. DUNBAR, editor of the Ph9- nix Gazette, and ex-Judge W. H. Barnes, his attorney in the libel suit which has been instituted by Attorney General Heney and others was adjudged guilty of contempt and sentenced to ten days impris- onment in the county jail at Tue son by Judge Sloan. The contempt was contained in an affidavit for a change of venue, and charged that Judge Sloan had been closeted for two or three hours with Heney and
 his law partner. The affidavit was made on information and belief, and Mr. Dunbar's informant, Fred. Hughes, gave Mir. Dunbar permis- sion to tell the Court his source of information, Still the Judge inn prlsoned Dunbar for making and Judge Barnes for writing the afi- davit, and purged Hughes, the source of the information, of any contempt, Perhaps the Judge ex- ercised great good judgment in
 making such a nice distinction, as Hughes is a man who will stand no foolishness, and it is altogether likely there would have been an af- terclap had he imprisoned Hughes,

THE Senate passed the bill re- pealing the purchase of silver. That metal immediately dropped to the lowest point at which it was ever quoted. In the natural order of things all other products and com modities will follow. It is not at all unlikely that hard times for the producers of the country have but just commenced. Gold, as mat ter of course, will greatly appre- ciate in value, As it appreciates every other known commodity will depreciate in corresponding ratio. Money-bags, gold hoarders and f. nancial sharks will now be enabled
 to get in their work in great shape.
