Washington Hesing, Chicsgo's gold bug postmaster, and the only heir of the late I. C. Hasing, whose will shows hIs estaSe to be worth S375,O00, says in a communication to tine Chicago Record of May 1st: This feeling for free silver through out the southern part of the state, Qllinois) has become almost an epidemic, and has, in a measure, crazed the democratic vote-getting practical politicians of the state. The silver barons of the west and the owners of the silver bullion throughout the world, have been quietly and carefully waging a cam paign of education, and have won over to their ranks many voters" For these reasons Mir. Hesing whines like a sore headed dog, shut out of his kennel of a cold night. Note The silver barons of the west, That old chestnut that has been roasted and reroasted until the shell has fallen from the meat, and the meat has become tainted with gold bug corruption.

what have heretofore only been our best wishes. 1t is now an assured fact that we will have three mills in operation within the next six months and the gold bullion will be shipped instead of SO much talk and assays. Col. Dan Thorne shipped six tons of ore from the Goodenough mines to Prescott to have it sampled, and to also determine the best process for the treatment of the ores from these mines (of which there are severai). The ore gave returns of S4l.SO per ton in gold. It was also worked up to 90 per cent of the assay value by the chlorination process. The com pany will commence the erection of twenty-ton plant at once, and will add to it as development progresses on the mines. Beckman k Turnbull are shipping a GIT load of ore to Prescott, which will yield Sl00 per ton in gold. Messrs. Rankin X Clark have bought the Waters Group,
 and have commenced work on the mines, and We understand that a  complete twenty-stamp mill has been ordered. This is one of the best showings for free gold property in Arizona. It has large bodies of good grade ore, wlth plenty of water and fuel at hand, and with the proper machinery on the ground, there is every reason to believe it will make one of the best dividend payers in the territory. Thos. C. BoUe has erected fine oyershot water wheel on his mill site above the Waters mine. He has changed his plans from arastras to making 1t five stamp mill. He will work the ores from his Santa Maria mine, it being the best developed and best showi ng mine m this district. 1t has pro
 duced from the first opening money enough to develop the mine, and the only process used was a common, one-horse arastra. There is now nearly 2.000 feet of development work on the mine, and it shows big bodies of high grade ore all over it..

HENpERsHorr mAs A pREAM.

Colonel Wells Hendershott was interviewed recently in San Fran, cisco about railroads and canal en- terprises in Arizona, and he talked so glibly about millions of dollars being secured for such enterprises here as though the money grew on bushes.
 The colonel no doubt meant we'll by all he sad, but be evidently "overshot" the mark and puts him. self, and by his claiming to be an Arizonsn, places Arizona in a false light before the outside world. His canal talk was quite big, but his rail- road talk was out of sight, as it takes in nearly ali the prominent sections oi the Pacific Coast. He starts it at Salt Lake, Utah, and locates the other tsrminus at Nogales running it through Flagstaff, Los Angeles, PhenlX, Yuma, San Diego and Globe, with a spur of to the Superstition mountains and also a connection with the San Joaquin valley, in California. He "cuts scross three or four trans conti- mental roads" He is quoted by the Examiner as saying that surveys have been made and rights of way procured for nearly the full length of the road. There is less truth, by far, than modesty in the colonel's assertions, and Arizona will never be benefited by such Munchausen stories as this one published in the Examiner.

 The Yuma Sentinel has the fol lowing to say anent the effort to gel Murderer Foster pardoned from the penitentisry;
 "There arrived here Sunday from Fresno, Cal, on an errand of mercy w, H. Cureton, an old time news. paper man of the territory. The object of Mir. CuTeton's visit was to get a number of our citizens to sign a petition for the pardon of J. Eos ter from the territorial prison, The prisoner is in the last stages of con sumption, and the prison physician. Dr, Cotter, has given him up as hopelessly inourable."
 When Mir. Cureton visited Pres colt, he sad that Foster was suffer ing from diabetes, and it was hoped that if he got out he might get we'll, and there is just where the danger lies in extending executive clemency.
 If Foster would agree to be accom- modating and die soon after he got out, there could be no serious obiec- tions to having him pardoned, as there is no one hard hearted enough to want him confined in the 'pen" just for the purpose of having him die there, although, after all, a penjtentiaFy Is q pretty good place for a cold blooded murderer to shuttle of his mortal coil, if he is lucky enough to miss the haagman's moose.
 The great trouble about pardon ing these incurable murderers is that after gaining their freedom they are apt to get we'll enough to kill some one else and for that reason the JOURNAL MINER is upalterably not to the pardon of John Foster, the individual but, John FoSter the murderer and to the par. don of any and all muFdeEers, except

THE JouHNAL-MINEn ENLAEGEs


 With this issue, the JOURNAL MINER enlarges to seven columns to the page. The growth of the town of late has been so rapid, and the increased demand for advertising space so great, that in order to do justice to it's readers, this move has been found necessary. It has been attended with considerable expense to make the chang, and will be attended with an increased expense in maintaining the paper at its en- larged size, but with an abiding faith in the continued prosperity of this section, We cau rely confidently on support sufficient to maintain the paper at the size it appears to- day.
 A newspaper is a reflex of the town in which it is published, and while the proprietor of the JouRNAL- MINER has no surplus funds to ex- pend on experimental newspaper business, 1t has been, and will con tinue to be. his constant aim 10 pub fish the best paper possible from the income derived from it. Every dollar taken in from the business is put into it again, and 1t soon finds its way into circulation again in the town.
 Every business man in the town should be represented in the columns of the local newspaper, If nothing more than witha brief announce ment.

 When in Prescott Mir. Cureton showed the writer a short list of names of citizens of more or less prominence in Fresno, asking for the pardon of Foster, and among the names were three or four who were more or less prominently mixed up in the McWhirter murder of that place. A fellow feeling" etc., probably prompted them to sign the paper asking for Fosters pardon, Such a document as that should not receive a moments consideration from the chief executive of the ter ritorv.

NbNtAupI Hug Suto ic holuS aShNN to pardon John Foster, who mur- dered a man at Ash Fork some time since. Fosters victim was a harm less sheep herder, although to secure the pardon he will no doubt be painted as very dangerous man. Foster is alleged to be dying of an incurable disease, and this is the excuse on which pardon is based. The murder was wholly unjustif- able, and there is no reason why a man who commits such crimes should become the subject of execu- tive clemency simply because he is sick. Pretexts for pardons are be- coming entirely too flimsy, and the governor should maintain a good stiff back bone in behalf of justice, w. H. Cureton, former resident of Mineral Park, Is the ambassador seeking clemency for Foster.
 One of the most contemptible and despicable paragraphs which has ever appeared in an Arizona paper, was published in the last issue of the Flagstaff Democrat, weakly little weekly, edited by very weakly minded, weakly bodied and efeminate looking individual recently from Minnesota. The mans mental and physical condition is really of such a nature that he is probably not responsible for what he writes, but the good people of Flagstaff should have a guardian or censor appointed for him as such items as the one referred to is likely to work injury to the town. The item referred to decrees the town of Prescott, and this by man who never spent two days in the place and who was never a half mile out side of the town, except on the rail road, and even then he must have been asleep, or deliberately pub lshed what he knew to be untrue. The attempt to build up any DOT tion of Arizona by running down other portions is a despicable piece of business.
 The Mohave Miner says: Prescott and Phenix are jealous of each other and there is sure to be something | startling in one or the other of these towns in the near future. Each one will do something desperate to at tract attention from the other" NJ one but the editor who wrote the above has ever discovered any jeal- ousy existing between the towns named, and it exists only in his imagination. There is, in fact, no occasion for jealousy as the resources of tine two towns do not in any way conflict. Prescott has climate to sell to her southern nelghbors Tn summer, and Phenix has a super abundance of winter climate to dis pose of tc her sister town in the mountains. Phenix is surrounded by an agricultural and fruit growing country, while Prescott issurrounded by mnes, which demand and con sume a large portion of the surplus products of the Salt river valley, and he best feeling prevails between the citizens of the two towns. h. stead of any rivalry or jealously existing between the two places, they are each intimately dependent more or less on the other, and the growth of either proves beneficial to the other.

careful persons are apt to catch a cold
in their chests that will extend swiftly
to the lungs if not attended to. 1t usu-
ally makes its presence known by a con

When a person experiences this feeling.
he can rest assured that he can procure
almost instant relief by drinking a cup
of water rs hot as no can bear to take in
the mouth and to swallow. There is no
better medicine in the world to arrest
