THEE FLAG OF ARIZOIl. AN OPEN CHALLENGE To Scientific Men and Min ing Engineers and
 Practical Miners. THE COMING ARIZONA. Her Mines of Silver, Gold, Cop per, Lead and Onyx Her In duStrial MartS to Which
 the Products of Her Fertile Valleys Must Seek a Finan- cial alOutlet-The Colored Elagof Silver, Gold and Copper Bed
 ccked With Silver Stars
 May Yet Be Arizona's
 Emblem of State.

l do not intend to write the history of tue United States from the accession of George Washington down to the ages in the memory of men still living, but I, Arthur H. Elliott, a citizen of the United States and resident Of Final county, Arizona, believing and acknowl- edging that Almighty God is the Su- preme Ruler of the Universe from whom all that is wise and good emanates, and believing that man made in his image possesses these wonderful faculties which are capable of chaining the light hing and harnessing the winds and bringing from time 10 time all the ele- ment5 into s1bjectiop for the substan- tigl rnd material benefit of different
 generations, and likewise believing that the beacon light of science is enlIghtn-
 ing men on to grand discoveries in the
 remarkable age of progress, l, Arthur
 H. Elliott, possessed of all the faculties
 of mind and body as a sane man and
 not carried away by any spirit of undue
 enthusiasm, do, now in behalf of Arizo-
 na, that land proclaimed by Homboldt
 as the Treasure Box of Americs, chsl~
 Ienge men of science, mining engineers
 and scientists to look into certain min
 ing discoveries that l have made and
 refute if possible, any assertion l make.
 I will show you a mountain range, one
 of the most peculiar ln metallic noun
 tam architecture yet discovered in Ariz
 oua; I will show you where millions can
 be dug out in gold, silver and copper.
 I will give to Arizona by virtue of dis
 covery one of the grandest industrial
 workshops that it will be her pleasure
 for years to enjoy. 1 will show you 0
 series of mountains so suitably and ht-
 tiugly designed that nature has placed
 the doors where men may enter ln. l
 will show you a series of group of fami-
 lies of metal mountains which have been
 con ntorted, f9ulted, changed, chasmed and eroded until the rock building of ages is exposed to view and successive periods of time are plainly marked as the many volumes of book with it's subdivisions of chapters and clauses. will show you mountain range whose metal covering holds wealth in sbeyance to the energy of capital and the hands of labor. Upon accurate computation there is some S250,000,O00 to $500, ,0OO,- GOO in silver, gold, lead and copper, and the most accurate presumption IS that this metal field will be worked with un- demiulshed yigor whilst the new flag of Arizona will bear the marks of infancy, and even up to the time when age shall designate it ss the flag of one of the most powerful states in the union, and they will be working in full blast as long as precious metals are used as money and as long as the name of Arlz- ona shall be Arizona.
 In conclusion 1 repudlste the blatant sneers of skeptic5 and tue demagogIc utterances of garrulOus l9mp-post men. stand man among men in the matter of this discovery. It means millions at the present time and in futurlty for Ar izona. It means an electric light cast upon the mining mysteries Of Arizona. It is the substantial solving Of that much vexed. expression that has so often slurred the mining interests Of Arizona (namely), "Your mines de not so down. shall use no hoodoo stick nor resort to any shght-of- hand performance, but | shall point out the ore bodies with un- erring accuracy. It is triumph of man power over material elements. It IS the picture of man who has conquered the | mountains; it is victory in behalf of mining that will place Arizona in the | vanguard of an undreamed of prosperi- ty. My address is.
