 The lead taken from the Castle Dome mines has the reputation of making the best white lead ever used on the coast, it being almost entirely free from any foreign sub- stances. Enough lead can be taken from these mines to supply the en- tire wants of the country lying west of the Mississippi river.
 H. R. Morrow, a well-known railroad agent in Texas, and who has valuable interests in Yuma, left for home via Los Angeles and San Francisco, Monday. During 1888, MT.

 The work Or daming the Grand Canyon of the Colorado will be commenced next year. It is per fectIy feasible.-MohaYe County Miner.
 The Miner is right. No project of the gigantic magnitude of this has ever met with such favorable results in so short a time. The granduer of the great canyon, the everlasting supply of water, the great area of rich lands that can be irrigated, the finest climate known, and the feasibility of the great work, commend themselves at once to the careful conservative business men of today, who grasp the grand possibilities at glance. Never before has such a scheme, vital to the best interests of Northern, Western and Central Arizona, met with so little opposi- tion, and on the other hand with such general approval by our ablest and best fnanciers.
 Col. George w. Lang, the we'll known live stock man, who has a large herd of cattle in the great valley of the Colorado, near Indian Wells, arrived in town Sunday. Col. Lang says, "Yuma is the busiest and most prosperous town I have seen during my travels in California and Arizona, for several months. Her prospects for the future are the brightest. Where ever I go, l am constantly asked hundreds of questions about Yuma, her present and future. No other town commands the attention that she does. Her early fruits and vegetables, her situation here upon the Colorado. with an inexhaust- ible supply of water for irrigation, and her vast area of the finest and richest valley and mesa lands, all tell for Yuma. The great valley of the Colorado, with it's millions of acres of fertile soil, will make her great town" Col. Lang left for his cattle ranch and Los An geles, Wednesday.

Henry Roach, the cattle king of El Rio, Texas, was a passenger on Sunday evenings east bound ex- press from San Diego, where he has large landed and banking in- terests. When the First National Bank of San Diego suspended he was wired, "Come here at once." On the ground the directors asked: "HoW can we resume?" Roach said: "The way to resume, is to resume. Put your hands in your pockets and bring out the cash" They did so, and the bank resumed. Thus far it is the only bank that resumed on a telegram from the bank examiner to the comptroller of the currency, and vice versa.

financial condition OF the country 10 such
as n now n.
The scheme for providing the Howitzers
with an armory has grown IN the hands
Of the Council committee. and has now
reached magnitude which makes care
fui consideration necessary. II would de-
light us very much indeed TO see all
our military housed under one roof. and
we hope 10 have that pleasure before
very long. but II the judgment Of the
City Engineer prevails, all that will be
attempted in that direction now will be
TO secure the site. and arrange for the
erection of the building hereafter.
Our city has many demands TO meet
In the course OF few months. city
Hall bills are falling due rapidly. and
must be paid. Further expenditures on
the Gas-Works seem indispensable. The
superintendent admits that the gas is
not now properly purified. and insists
that this can never be satisfactorily
done until the purifying capacity OF the
works IL enlarged.
The times are not favorable for the
increase OF municipal expenses. True,
many taxpayers say: let the expenses
OF the city be cut down." but this Is no
easy matter to accomplish. And yet
some OF the very men who would wish
20 avert such a movement are pursuing
policy with regard to present expendI-
lures. which will surely bring It about
II they are not marvellously lucky.
The idea OF having an armory which
shall be home for all OF our military
one roof 10 cover alive like very much
indeed especially as the proposed plah
includes a public hall to seat 5000 people.
We earnestly trust that though crcum-
stances may compel us TO forego the
erection of this building for a while,
we shall not have to abandon the idea
altogether. 1t will require some self
sacrifice on the part of the Howitzers
to occupy temporary quarters while the
time is ripening for the erection of this
building, but we much mistake their
spirit. II upon an official statement TO
them OF the reasons controlling. they do
not submit TO that Inconvenience in the
interest OF the public good.
Richmond has long needed n hall In
which great conventions might be COM
fortably housed, and this feature OF the
armory plan gives 1t much popular
strength. Indeed under the conditions
suggested by the City Engineer. we
imagine that there will be no great oppo-
sition TO 1t. And his opinion should he
received not only as that Of an engi-
neer OF high repute. but as one who has
very accurate knowledge indeed Of the
amount OF money which will yet be
needed TO complete the payments on
account OF the new City Hall.

mittee Is. we suspect. fully convinced by
this time that the tariff is indeed a local
question. Congressman Marshall. of the
Ninth District. win endorse the action
Of the businessmen OF Staunton. So as
20 others OF our congressman. we doubt
not. The First District has an oil interest,
The Second peanuts. sumac. Irish potatoes,

have the largest tobacco interests In Vir-
sinls. which must have protection In the

dent beforehand. It win be taken az In
some sort a statement OF his views. II
10 a fine essay on financial propositions.
.,A characterized by restatement of a
number Of abstract truths which nobody
will deny. Ale rejolces that the united
States Government by the repeal OF the
sherman silver-law has been placed IN
its proper position in the world he mas
no doubts as 90 the truth Of the abstract
nropositions which ne advances. Indeed
,hev are such as nobody VIII desire 10
contradict: and are stated with extraor-
binary ability.
On the silver question Mr.. Carlisle
speaks In an oracular style when VIII
plcase the rnonometallists, but VIII not
be acceptable to the silver men. lie ar
CUES II is true. that the condition OF
things under the new law VIII not
necessarily operate the disuse OF silver

,,estion as TO the manner in which he
would have silver used lie scouts the
theory that there Is or could be double
standard or measure of values: but he
does not explain how his dictum on that
uoint can be reconciled with his declara-
ton that silver IL not TO be disused as
consequence OF the repeal Of the Sherman
law. Granting him his premises, and all
that Mr.. Carlisle says on this important
and interesting subject must be conceded

Appearing at any other time Mr.. Car
isles speech would attract more atten-
ton than IL will now, seeing that the
President himself will treat all these sub
iects IN his annual message TO be sent TO
Congress within twelve days. We prefer
10 comment upon the Presidents utter
ances rather than those Of his Secretary,
able though he he, and distinguished for
his clear conceptions on all subjects. In
ferring the Presidents views TO be con-
slstent with those of his Secretary. we
must conclude that the bimetallism OF
which the latter speaks rather disrespect-
fully will meet with no better treatment
al the hands Of the President.

FIRST RAY OF HOPE.
few DAYS ago Messrs Smith and
Richardson, the counsel for the accused,
received letter from Mr.. w. =. rhiiliIs,
ployed by Mr.. Lewis when Nicholas came
to the apothecary. In the communica-

or course the letter was hailed with de-
light by Nicholas and his counsel. as II
seemed TO completely destroy the web
OF circumstantial evidence woven around
the prisoner by his prosecutors. An EFFORT
was TO have been made TO secure a new

that he, and not Phillips, sold the strych-

says that his attention should certainly

Mr.. Lewis told the reporter that he did
not have the slightest desire to see the
accused untustly convicted. and would
willingly sign a paper asking the leniency

emphatically that he declined, as has been
stated. to tell Nicholas's counsel where
Phillips went after he left Richmond In
