Tic Banks and the Bonds.

A correspondent, who seems to b really in search of information writes to ask us why the nationa banks are in favor of burdening thC people with new bond issues.
 To those who understand the practical workings of the laws un- der which the national banks ope- rate, the matter is simple. The banks buy the bonds. and the gov ernment pays them 5 per cent in terest on them. Then the banks borrow 90 per cent of the face value of the bonds, and pay one per cent interest on it, and then the banks loan out this 90 per cent at rates ranging from ' to 15 per cent. Is not this a good reason why the banks want bonds?
 But let us simplify matters. John Jones has $100,000 that he wants to invest in government securities. He goes to the peoples treasury and buys $1O0,000 worth of bonds, on which he receives per cent inter- est in gold. John Jones then util- izes the peoples treasury as safe deposit, leaves his bonds there and borrows s9O,0OO of the people s money at 1 per cent, sets himself up as a national banker and lends his $90,O00 out at an average rate of 12 per cent, which, added to the , per cent interest he draws on his bonds, makes his investment high ly profitable.
 It will be seen that the nom ent Jones becomes a bondholder he is a privileged person. He may not only deposit his bonds for safety in the treasury department but he may borrow the peoples money at 1 per cent. But when the people want to borrow money they have to go to John Jones and pay 12 per cent for it; and they cannot get it, even at that rate unless they plank down under Jones' nose the same kind of security on which he bor- rowed his money at 1 per cent.- Atlanta Constitution.

It is not generally known that 15 miles south of the Yekol, in the Casa Grande mining district, lies one of the richest gold producing sections in the territory. Little has been said by the parties interested there, but ever since the discovery they have been steadily engaged in development work which has result ed most favorably. There are seven claims comprising the group known as the Golden Era, seven of which are the property of Messrs. A. B. Richmond, W. T. Day, W. J. Schulz and J. T. Woods. The seventh, the Golden Era, is owned solely by Richmond & Day. About 200 feet of work has been done on the claim at different points. An incline has been sunk 65 feet, and the bottom shows a magnificent four-foot vein of white quartz, very heavily stain ed with iron. An assay made from the full face of the ledge gave an average of S25 in gold. In the cen ter of the ledge is a rich streak of pure white quartz, eighteen inches wide, which will undoubtedly prove a bonanza. We are in possession of two specimens from the proper ty which are we'll calculated to arouse enthusiasm in the minds of the most conservative. Great specks of yellow gold are plainly visible all through the quartz. Each of the other claims, as far as developed show up well, and the group prom ises to become the center of as rich a gold camp as there is in the terri tory.-Florence Tribune.

What a virtuous spell the news papers of the country have on them since the verdict in the Brecken- ge-Pollard case was rendered. It looks as though the result of the trial showed fully that Madeline wanted to work the congressman for more money than he could put up and then to drag him down from his high position instituted the proceedings against him. The suit was not for breach of promise of marriage, but simply for cash, the full cash value of her chastity. The price of honor, as viewed by the jury, was cheap, but in this case it was rather steep.-Mohave Min ar

If You Wish to Help the Town,

Don't fail to sound its praises wherever you are. Don't make your money out of it's citizens and spend it somewhere else.
 Don't frown on every public inn provement simply because it will cost you dollar or two.
 Don't sheer at the efforts of your fellow citizen to build up the town, but lend hand yourself.
 Don't talk great deal about what should be done and remain on the back seat waiting for some one else to do it.
 Don't say a board of trade is "no good on earth" unless you can prove it by statistics.
 Don't say the public schools are a failure because your boy has been upsetting the schools discipline and has been punished for it.
 Don't stay at home on cleo tion day, but get out and hustle for good men and good government,
 Don't let a good local paper that is the towns untiring champion abandon the champion business because of lack of deserved patron age,
 Don't forget to drop your dollars in slot when the committee that is after new enterprise comes around with the subscription list.
 Don't forget that in building up the town, hearty cooperation, uni ted endeavor and a spirit of get there are what win the day. There is no pull like long pull, strong pull and pull altogether.-Need- les Eye.

Tired. Weak. Nervous,

Means impure blood, and oVerwork or too much strain on braln and body. The only way to cure is to feed the nerves on pure blood. Thousands of people cer- tify that the best blood purifier, the best nerve tonic and strength builder is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What it has done for others it will also do for you-Hood's Cures.
 Nervousness, loss of sleep, loss of ap- petite and general debility all disappear when Hoods Sarsaparilla is persistent ly taken, and strong nerves, sweet sleep, strong body, starp appetite, and in word, health and happiness follow the use of Hoods Sarsaparilla.
 The strong point about Hoods Sarsa- parilla is that they are permanent, be- cause they start from the solid founda- ton of purified, vitalized and enriched blood.

THE city election in Phoenix went Republican by a safe majority. Is it not time for the Gazette and Hughes factions to let up? Or are they determined to keep up this "Kilkenny cat-fght" if the party goes to the 'demnition bow-wows." '" The rank and file of the party should sit squarely down on both factions, and give them to under stand that they were not of suffi- cient mental calibre to run nor ruin the Democratic party in Arizona.

It is rumored that excavations, in the interest of science, may be undertaken in what is known as the crater, near Canyon Diable, north ern Arizona, where the meteoric stone containing diamonds was dis covered some time ago. Geologists say that the pieces of stone found are fragments of one gigantic me- teor, which buried itself in the earth, leaving hole three-quarters of a mile in diameter that has since par italy filled up, but is still one hun dred feet deep, with precipitous walls. It resembles the so.called craters on the moon, which science now declares to have been formed by the impact of huge meteors.
 Diamonds found in the meteoric stone at Canyon Diablo are too small to be of any commercial val ue, but are important as supporting the theory that there are other worlds than ours which are inhab- itable. It is claimed that diamonds, which are so nearly of the same chemical composition as coal, could not possibly have come into exis- tence without previous vegetable growths, and if there was vegetable life where the meteor came from, 1t is fair to presume that there was an imal life also.-Silver Belt.

The long-sought copper ledge in the Huachucas has been discovered. It has been found, too, to be up to expectations. The old bell of the mission at Santa Cruz, Sonora, was known to be made of copper found in rich chunks in the Huachucas, and for the scores of years subse- quent search has been made for the ledge belonging to the float found. The ore body laid untouched up to two weeks ago, when Robert Downey, himself one of the search CTS, found 1t. A few months ago he found a piece of float that was all most pure copper, strongly black ened with silver. The chunk weighed 160 pounds. It was pres ented to the university for the min eral collection there. Since then Mir. Downey made another effort, with success. He believed that the copper body laid under the volcan- ic ceonglomerate covering the noun tain side, and pierced it. An assay of the body was made by the uni- versity yesterday. The following result was obtained: Copper, per cent, 64. 15; silver, ounces to ton, 42,46; gold, ounces to ton, .08. Gold value to the ton, S1 65. Such figures speak for themselves. Seven claims have been located, being originally located for silver. The find is twenty-eight miles from Bisbee.-Arizona Citizen.
