SPRING MILLINERY.
THE NEW YORK, PARIS AND LON
DON STYLES.

Bonnets Are Small, and Hats Are Large.
Fashions In straw-Spring Importations
Indicate That Crochet Chips and Panama
Straw Are to BE Popular.
French millinery makes it apparent
that there is revolution, so far as the
size of bonnets is concerned. These
could not be much smaller and exist at
all. There is an indication that we are
returning to the early Victorian form,
when they were carried down in a point
behind the ear, almost meeting under
the chin. We have not quite arrived at
that yet, but the shapes are made to
droop at the side in curious and un-
common fashion. Strong contrasts in
color are introduced in the new milli-
merry, such as green Of the bright grass
shade with tawny yellow. The shapes
are close fitting TO the head and come
well down at the back, allowing space
and foundation for the new style Of
trimming the backs almoat as elaborate
ly as the fronts. Some OF the new rib
bons have MORE on one side and satin on
the reverse. Colored straws are to be
much worn, and mignonette is one of
the favorite flowers, or pansies on the
black toQues now fashionable.
Prince of Wales plumes of ostrich
feathers stand up erect on many of the
new models, and some of the bonnets
are vandyked at the edge with guipure.

nearly all the hats, whether they are Of
the close boat or sailor shape or have
large brims, are all to be worn tilted
back from the face, such as the Grafton
and the Gwendoline, which latter is Of
the sailor order. One of the revivals is

some even are enameled.
Bonnets will be more worn than they
have been, and the Puritan and Dutch
shapes are to remain with us during the
spring. Much chip and crochet edgings
are used, and great novelty are the
opalesque straws, which are shot like
beetles wings and are to be had in as
many as 40 different colorings. Jet
crowns-that is, the circular top formed
of jet beads-are often introduced into
straw models.

The interdiction of the orders Of
Odd Fellows, Knights Of Pythias
and Sons of Temperance by the
papaI hierarchy creates consider
able excitement in secret societies
and Catholic circles, and we believe
this action of his holiness does not
meet with much favor from Cath
olics who belong to secret societies.
We know that there is nothing in
one of these interdicted societies
conflicting with the duties a MEM
Der holds toward his church or So
ciety at large, and we are certain
that the church will reap no ben
efts from such prohibitory man
dates. The Masonic order, than
which greater and better fedora

long got used to the enmity Of the

rich gold mines Of Mohave county.
While we are dilating on our
great mineral resources that have
placed Mohave county in the front
rank Of the mining industry, it is
not our intention TO under rate our
vast agricultural and horticultural
prospects. 1t has been our aim to
draw the attention of farming COM
munities to our broad lands which
will as surely as the sun rises and
sets become the homes of thousands
of happy contented people. We
have acres by the million awaiting
somebody's ownership and these
acres will produce everything that
can be raised in almost any land.
We want the farmers and mechanics
of the east and west to come to
Mohave county and make ideal
and happy homes. We want cap
italists to invest their money profit
ably by developing our water sup
ply, as the formation of our land is
such that it is certainty that a
great quantity of water can be de-
veloped by the sinking Of artesian
wells and the storage Of our rain
water. Such investments will be-
come profitable as every farmer
can afford to pay go)l round sum
for irrigating water, as the land will
h lrdly cost him anything. Let US
all work together to make Mohave
county the greatest and richest of
Arizona.

Editorial Points.

its horizon seems not to extend
farther than Phenix, its surround
ings and its lovely orange groves.
We appreciate the greatness Of
Phenix and would like to wander
through its groves and sample
their luscious oranges. We would
be pleased to admire the greatness
of our metropolis and listen to the
great orators that will make that
city famous when our Legislature
coavenes. but nothing would add
more to our satisfaction than to
give few points to the accom-
plished editor of the Gazette regard
ing the resources of Arizona. We
were under the impression that
every Arizonan knew that Mohave
county had silver mines and that
they are extensively worked, and
are bringing large revenues to their
owners despite the awful slump
in silver. And we were nonplussed
reading an editorial in last Thurs
days Gazette, saying that all the
silver mines in the great territory
of Arizona had shut down. The
Gazette editor should occasionally
read the MoHAvE MINER, that he
might be benefited by the interest
ing and valuable statistics contained
therein. For the benefit of our
editorial friend we will once more
state that the output Of our silver
mines amounted to one and one
half million dollars this year, and
that only a very small number of
our rich silver mines contribute to
this respectable amount. We wish
to impress upon his mind also that
Mohave county is but small in pop
ulation, in fact we have only fif-
teen hundred white p,ople, but
that our revenues will exceed 81 900
this year to every man, woman and
child. We doubt very much if the
booming Phenicians can claim half
or even a fourth of such a sum.
And should silver be king again,
we can assure the Gazette that
every inhabitant of Mohive will
not drain his resources but little by
buying all the orange groves of Phs-
nix and vicinity.
Colorado was the great silver
country of the world until the de-
cline of that precious metal made
the production Improbable, and
the attention of her miners was
drawn to the gold properties and
their success is SO great that Col
orado is now one of the liveliest
gold states of the Union. Mohave
county was hardly known as sill
yer section, but it holds today the
front rank in this mining industry
by reason of the great richness of
the silver mines which are worked
advantageously, although silver is
only worth go cents. But in ad-
dition to our rich silver properties
the output of our gold mines will
soon attract the attention of the
mining world, as we are pleased to
state that some ricn finds have
lately been made and that some of
our capitalists and experienced
miners will convince all that gold
abounds in our hills and mountains
and only awaits active operations
to swell all our exports. Active
operations will soon be under way
in the Gold Bug, Jumbo, Great
West, and other rich gold proper
ties that will be eyeopeners to min
ing men. Some specimens were
brought to Kingman that have as

with the statement that there have
been no change Of troops in the de-

tinues as follows:
'sAs in previous years, the troops in
the Indian and Oklahoma territories
have been occupied during much of
their time in removing tres passerS
from the public lands, in preserving
order ia the newly settled region and
in kee ping the peace between hostile
factions of the semi civilized Indian
tribes In addition to removing and
expelling intruders in the Choctaw

cesses Of the United States court to
prevent the obstruction Of the mails
and generally to enforce the faithful

General Miles then continues: 1.-The
conduct of the troops in restoring or

lence and a reign of terror existed in
Chicago was marked by great forbear-
ance, fOrtitude and excellent dis
