THE FLAG
 OF ARIZONA. AN OPEN CHALLENGE To Scientific Mem andaMin-
 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 Outlet - The Fri COlored Flag Bedecked With Silver Stars May Yet Be Ari- zona's Emblem of
 State.

l do not intend to wrlte tno history of the United States from the accession of George Washington down to the ages in the memory of men still livlng,& but I, Arthur H. Elliott, citizen of the United States and resident of PiDsl 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 emanates, and believing that man made in his image possesses thsse wonderful faculties which are capable of ohsining the light- hing and hsrnessing the winds and bringing from time 10 time all the ele- ments ints subjectioR for the substan- tial end material benefit of different generations, and likewise believing that the beacon light of science is enlishtn- 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 sane man and not carried away by any spirit of undue enthusiasm, do, now in behalf Of Arizo. pa, thst land proclaimed by Honboldt as the Treasure Box of Amerios, chsl- lenge men of science, mining engineers and scien tists to look into certain min. ing discoveries that l have made and refute if possible, any assertion make wSil show you mountain range, one of the most peculiar in metallic noun tam architecture yet discovered in Ariz oua; will show you where millions car be dug out in gold, silver and copper I will give to Arizona by virtue of dis covery one of the grsndeet ind ustria workshops that it will be her pleasur, ! for years to enjoy. 1 will show you [ | series of mountains so suitably and it. 1 tipgly designed that nature has p>aee( | the doors where men may enter in. | will show you @ series of group of fsmi l lies of metal mountains which have beel | oontorted, fsulted, changed, ohasmet l and eroded until the rock building O | ages is exposed to view and succesei%, periods of time are ptainly marked a | the many volumes of a book with it
 subdivisions of chapters and clauses. | Twill show you mountain range who's
 metal covering holds wealth in abeyanc
 to the energy of capital and the hand
 of labor.S Upon accurate computation
 there is some S25O,000, GOO to $500, GOO,
 600 in silver, gold, lead and copper, sn
 the most accurate presumption is tha
 this metal field will be worked with un
 demiplshed vigor whilst the ne'
 flag of Arizona will bear the marks c
 infancy, and even up to the time whe
 age shall deeignate it as the flag of on | of the most powerful states in the unlor
 and they will be working in full blast s
 long as precious metals are used 6
 money and as lsng as the name of Ari; ona shall be Arizona.
 In conclusion I repudiste the blatar
 sneers of ekeptics and the demsgogl
 utterances of garrulous lsmppost mel I stand a man among men in the matte , | of this discovery. It means millions , the present time and in futurity for Al , izope. It means an electric light ca! t upon the mining mysteries Of Arlzon g It is the substantial solving Of tnt much vexed expression that has so ofte
 slurred the mining interests of Arlzor !. i lnamely), "Yeur mines de not go down
 shall use no hoodoo stick nor resort any sllght-of- hand performance, bt shall point out the ore bodies with ul
 erring accuracy. It is triumph of ma
 power over material elements. 1t IS IT
 picture of man who has conquered U
 mountains; it is a victory in behalf
 mining that will place Arlzona ID u a vanguard of an undreamed of prosper V ty. My address is.
