THAT LIBEL CASE.
How Mills and Dunbar Pooled Their
Issues!

Issues!
One of the most ludicrous Incl
dents of the Dunbar Libel case oc
cured in the court room the morn
ing Judge Bethune had set aside to
sentence the defendant. Dunbar
and Mills got together in the court
room, and anticipating fine, be
gan to pool their Issues. "Now

dollar, or not to exceed $780,
SO down in his pockets went Dun.
bar and fished out six nickles, one
ten cent piece a brass coat button,
compound cathartic pill and a
policy game receipt for five cents,
this constituted Dunbar's capital
to meet the demands of the court.
Mills, who is somewhat a capitalist,
went digging for his securities, and
after considerable investigation
brought to light lead fve-cent
piece, nickle with a hole in it, a
subscription bill against Bruce for
30 cents, small unpaid wash bill,
a plug of black tobacco, piece OF
limberger cheese, and side by side
on the big table this conglomerated
mass of securities" were arranged
for pending emergency. Mills
looked the property over in silent
admiration, thinking how many
weeks of toll and brain efforts ii
represented and said. Cheer up,
John, this will pull you out" The
court at this juncture raped for
order and after disposing ofa few
unimportant motions called the
Dunbar case up. Stand up Mr..
Dunbar" ordered his honor"
John slowly Strengthened up, his
crooked hair standing as erect as a
telephone pole. Have you any

spoke the court. The defendant
looked longing at the open window
gazed appealingly at editor Mills
and cast hurried look at the "se-
culity" pile acknowledged the err
ror of his ways and waited execu-
ton. "The sentence ofthis court" I"

Mills recovered his breath and
ajaculated.
"Oh hell" Judge Barnes looked
curiously at the assets of Mills &
Dunbar, and remarked, "John you
had better eat the cheese" but
Dunbar had collapsed. The mag
nitude of the fine had paralyzed
him, and he took advantage of the
temporary confusion to crawl under
the table, where Judge Barnes
found and brought him out after
the adjournment of court.

A Visit 20 Some of the Districts oil South
ern Arizona.

A few days ago we visited some
of the school districts in Graham
county. The first point reached
by the writer was Solomonville.
Hon. George Cluff, a most pleas
ant gentlemen and an experienced
teacher, is the county school sup
erintendent of that county. He
takes great interest in school mat
ters and is able to deal intelligent
ly with every detail of school work.
Solomonville is the county seat,
and has a school house that at the
time it was built, ten years ago,
was large enough, but the school
population has increased to such
an extent that it is not half large
enough at present to accommodate
the attendance which, under the
present law, is apt to increase. We
found all the school districts poor
| ly provided with school accommo-
dations, not from any indifference
on the part Of the school authori-
ties, but from lack Of financial aid
on the part Of the supervisors, who
are afraid to make the necessary
levy to provide for school build
ings. Schools are run on a very
J economical basis in that county
Salaries are very low, and as Sup
crintendent Cluff remarked to the
writer, the best teachers in the
county are being driven out of the
school.room on account of the very
, low salaries. Some districts have
voted school bonds, but as there
are no ready purchasers Of such
bonds the school houses are not
built. School houses are an index
to the interest manifested by 8
community in it's school system
Graham county has bright fu
ture. 1t has mineral and agricui
t tural resources; ready market al
its very doors; the people are
thrifty, economical and intelligent
and there is no reason why the
schools should not be the mos
prosperous in this section of the
: Territory. Our modest advice tc
f the good people of Graham is mo-
to try to run their schools as chea}
, schools. Taxpayers as rule dc
not object to high levy, if the
money is properly expended.
f We found the trustees in Graham
county fully alive to the interest:
of the schools, but handicapped, a:
we have said, by the fear to add {
, small additional levy. The ,SchOo
r Register found many friends in Ora
} ham county. We found willing
subscribers in every school district
that we visited. Hon. Geo. Cluf
heartily co-operated in our effort:
I to place the Register in every dis
trict in his county. He went tc
the trouble of accompanying The
writer to every school district il
the ella valley, and make per
sonal appeal to the trustees on be
half of the Register, for which he i:
entitled to our lasting gratude.-

THR hottest fight yet made for
silver was fought at Louisville, KY,
at the Denfocratic state convention
On June 2Sth. 1t was a fight to
che finish and the free silver men
demonstrated TO the moneyed Shy
Docks that they were in earnest.
Wall Streets golden hand was
plaialy visible in the convection,
however, and the silver men were
obliged to engage in a hand-to'
hand conflict with them, but they
entered the fight with fearless spir'
its and remained in the thicket OF

ton, and although free silve,
platform was adopted the silverite:

that they succeeded in nominating

THE silver men who were deli
gates TO the Republican League
convention at Cleveland should
have gone to the convention like a
stormmg party. There was every
thing to be gained by fight. Had
they been defeated the goldbugs
would have remained in possession.
As it is they are IN possession any
how. The silver men simply came
up, held parley and retreated
without even trying to accomplish
anything. This is not the way in
which men really in favor of silver
should do. They should have
made stand for silver and stood
solid upon this ground.

Geo. Waddell and Mr.. McNulty
the latter of Montana, returned
from Big Copper creek yesterday,
bringing in some~splendid speci-
mems ~c0pper ore from claims
they located on a mountain on the
creek. The ore shows on the sur
face in various places in large
blanket deposits. They placed a
knife in small rivulet which ran
from one of the veins and in a few
hours the knife had a strong coat
ing of copper showing that the
water flowed through almost solid
copper at some point. Assays OF
the ore show 20.S and 80 per cent
copper. Copper Creek flows a
large unfaillng stream near the
locations which are ten miles south
west of Prescott. This ore is rich
er than that of Bisbee which is said
to carry IL per cent copper.-Cour-

this process more matte can be re-

1t is reported from Morenci that
the Detroit Copper company is
about to move the smelters down
to the river. Some years ago the
company's shelters were located
near the spot where the pumping
plant is. When the "baby gauge
road was built it was thought to
be cheaper to have them at the
mines and so they were moved
there. 1t is now thought to be
cheaper to have them located where
they were originally and so they
will be moved back. The location
is below Clifton. The cost of get
ting coke and supplies to the smelt-
ers in the new location will be
much less than it now is. A small
road can be put in to bring the ore
down from the mines, and as most
of the pull will be down hill it will
not be an expensive road to oper.
ate. The company's mines and
smelters are now running in full
blast. 1t is reported that the com
pany has abandoned the project of
building q railroad from Morenci
to Lordsburg or Solomonville.-

Signs of reviving trade multiply
with revolving weeks and the ev-
licences of permanenoy in the re-
cuperation are becoming more and
more numerous. The period OF
mere anticipation Of better bust
ness in the near future has passed
and the better business itself has
come. 1t has come in .hc shape
of heavier railway traffics, of ex'
pandlng bank-note circulation, OF
sraising prices ofstaple commodities,
of increasing clearing house returns,
of larger imports of foreign mer-
chandise, of growing output OF
domestic manufactures and pro-
ducts, of q decline in the number
of iusolvcncies. Now let silver be
remonetized and take its proper
place as a money metal and the
people of these United States will
experience such an increase in
business as to surpass their highest
expectations.
