Arizona weekly citizen., 1895-07-13

l do not intend to write the history of tue United States from the accessicr of George Washington down to the sge
 in the memory of men still lIvlng,e bu, l, Arthur II. Elliott, citizen of the United States and a resident of Piual county, Arizona, believing and acknowl- sdging that Almighty God is the Su
 preme Ruler of the Universe from whom, all that IS wise and good eman stes, and believing that man made in his image possesses these wonderful faculties wbichare capable of chainlng the IIght- hing and harnessing the winds ard bringing from time to time all the ele- ments into subjection for the subetan- tial md material benefit of different generations, and likewise believing thst the beacon light of sclepce is enhghtn- remarkable age of progress, I, Arthur ii. Elliott, possessed of all the faculties of mind and body as 8 sane man and not carried away by any spirit of undue enthusiasm, do, now in behalf of AriZo- ns, that land proclaimed by Hom boldt as the Treasure Box of America, cnsl- lenge men of science, mining engineers and scientists to look into certain min- ing discoveries that l have made and refute if possible, any assertion I make. l will show you mountain range, one Of the moet peculiar ID metallic noun tam architecture yet discovered in Ariz. ona; I will show you where millions can be dug out in gold, eilver and copper. will give to Arizons by virtue of dis coyery one of the grandest industrial workshops that 1t will be her pleasure for years to enjoy. 1 will show you a series of mountains so suitably and it- tiDgly designed that nature has placed the doors where men may enter in. I will show you a series of group of fami- lies of metal mountains which have been contOrted, fsulted, changed, cbasmed 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 its subdivisions of chapters and clauses.
 will show yoa a noun tain 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, ,0OO,C eco to $500, ,OO0,- 900 in silver, gold, lead and copper, and the most accurate presumption is that this metal field will be worked with un- deminIshed vigor whilst the new flag of Arizona will bear the marks of infancy, and even up to the time wheb Ege shall deei2nste it as the flag of one of the most powerful states in the unIon. and they will be working in full blast ss long as precious metals are used ae money and ga lsng Bs the name of Ariz- ons shall be Arizonn.
 In conclusion repudiate the blatant sneers of skeptics and the demsgogic utterances of garrulous lamp post men. 1 stand man among men in the matter of this discovery. It means millions at the present time and in futurlty for Ar Zons. It means an electric light cast upon the mining mysteries of Arizona. It is the substantial solving of that much vexed expression thst has so often slurred the mining interests of Arizona namely, ''Yeur mines de not go down" I shall use DO hoodoo stick nor resort to any sllght-of hand performance, but shall point out the ore bodies wth un- srrinG accuracy. It Is a triumph of man power over material elements. 1t is the picture ot man who has conquered the 1ountains; it is s victory in behalf of nining that will place Arizona in the of an undresmed of prosperi- ty. My address is.
