A PTBLIC BENEFACTOR

The Prescott Courier moved into new and spacious offices last week. They are on the second floor of tho building, and being nearer heaven, Editor Rogers feels the inspiriting in iueuce. While extending an invita- ton to friends to inspect the new quar- ters, the editor takes occasion to re- mind the public of the value of a news paper to the town and section in which is published:
 "The Courier is a Prescott institu- ton, all the money ever made by the paper, it's owners and employees has d. ways been expended in Prescott. The paper has done splendid work for town, county and section, and keeps on doing it. It is, of course, well sup ported, but deserves an even better support than it gets. Any newspaper Is a public benefactor and does gratui- tous work for its section, which no other business can or will do. Then, instead of figuring how you can keep from spending a dollar with the news paper, lay aside your prejudice, broaden out your mind beyond the two-by-four five cent limit and help a paper which is helping the section and helping you at the same time"

LEDFOKD's LEACuSNG ENTERPRISE AT
 RETVE

The water in the Anaconda and St. Lawrence mines is so strongly i'm pregnated with copper that it has proved Q great detriment to their suc- cessful operation, and heavy expense besides, as pipes submerged in the water, and in fact every part of q pump with which the water comes in contact is soon corroded and destroyed. A number of years ngo w. L. Ledford evolved the happy idea to turn this water to account by precipitating the copper held in solution. He obtained favorable lease from the Anaconda Company and went to work to con struot his plant, which Is nothing more than series of rudoly constructed tanks or Yats in which are thrown quantities of scrap iron and tiu. The water is run through these vots and the copper is precipitated by the iron Two men are the "force' required to manage these works" and by this crude teaching process, it is said, MT, Ledford has been making net profit of S5O0O per month, and he Is now Q rich man.
 This reference to Ledford and his enterprise is suggested by notice in tho Western Mining Worldof the filing of an answer by the Anaconda Mining Company to the complaint of ". l.. Ledford. The latter as lessee of the water from the mines sued the com pany for placing scrap iron in the mines, thus collecting the copper in solution and rendering the water value less. The company answers that on or about the Ist of September, and ever since, the waters in the Anacouda and St. Lawrence carried such @ large percentage of copper in solution that it destroyed the water pipes very rapidly and it was absolutely necessary in order to work the properties at all, to place scrap iron at tho 1000 and I2O0-foot levels of the Anacopda and at the SOO- foot level of the St. Lawrence, and allow the water to run over it in order to reduce the strong solution to some extent. All the copper precipitoted by the defendants is still in the mines, none of it having been removed, and the company is now willing that the plaintiff, shall have all that he is justly entitled to-75 per cent-his share under the contract Mir. Lodford sues for S6, 493.5O.

MEXICOs CLAIM TO A PORTION or
 FL PAsO,

There may be good reason for un- oasiness among the residents of the southern portion of the city of Fl Paso, Texas, because of rumor that Mexico will claim territory on the north side of the river within tho corporate limits of Fl Paso, Mexico will con tend, it is said, that the original chan nel of the Rio Grande ran through what is now almost the center of the city. There has been a continual oro- sion of the Mexican bank of the river, and a corresponding accretion of soil on the American side, until the chan nel of tho river is now far removed from the course followed at the time the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was ratified in 1SlS. By Article V of that treaty the boundary line between the two republics was to commence in the Gulf of Mexico, opposite the mouth of the Rio Grande river, and thence up the middle of that river, following the deepest channel, where it had more than one, to the point where it struck the southern boundary of New Mexico. In order to designate the boundary line with due precision, Q joint com mission was appointed to run and mark the boundary, to make authori- tatiyo maps, and to keep journals and make out plans of their operations, and all these shall be deemed a part of the treaty and shall have the same force as if inserted therein. It is further pro- yided that the boundary line estab- Gshed by Article V shall be rohgiously respected by each of the two republics, and no change shall ever be made therein, except by the express and free consent of both nations.
 The Gadsden Purchase treaty, rati. fed in 1854, retains this same dividing line, the channel of the Rio Grande, to parallel 3l degrees 47 minutes north latitude, almost directly opposite Fl Paso.
 As the original surveys, landmarks, journals and maps made by the com. missioners immediately after the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was entered into, are a part of the treaty, Mexico's claim to land lost through the shifting of the channel appears to have some merit.
 The claim of Mexico, if sustained, will have reciprocal or reactiouary effect, that will give back to the United States all the territory that may have been lost to it since the ratification of the treaty of Guadalupe HidaIgo, by the shifting of the channel of tho Rio Grande.

THE MINERAL MARKET.
IRE ISSUE CAN Nor BE EVADED.

In opposing appropriations for costly improvements to public institutions, the BELT has been prompted only by a desire to protect the taxpayers from unjust exsctions and to preserve the financial integrity of Arizona. Had this spirit Nctuated the public men, Territorial officials and the newspapers of Arizona, we would not now be groan- ing under an onerous burden of debt and taxation. It is not yet too late to inaugurate an administrative reform, but it will never be accomplished II the people remain apathetic, "A stream can not rise above its source, and ii the voters elect mon to office whose motives are mercenary, either for their owa agrandizement or for the selfish in terest of the few at the expense of the many, they, the voters, are responsible for mal-admnistration.
 The late grand jury of Gila county, in opposing the new levy for the Nor nal School, the University and the Reform School, was inspired by a com mendable motive, namely, to protect the taxpayers of the county, and not, as some of our subsidized exchanges insinuate, ito cause another muddle in Territorial affairs. The grounds upon which the grand iury's objection are based, are unassailable and were tersely stated. They are;
 First-That the levy is not loan, but a direct tax upon property, which is prohibited by tbe Harrison Act, a part of the organic law of Arizona.
 Second-That not even loan is au- thorized under tho Harrison Act, when the indebtedness of the Territory ex- ceed ono per contum of the value of taxable property in such Territory lGnd Arizona's indebtedness exceeds 8 per oentJ.
 Third-The Harrison Act forbids any county or municipal corporation con- traoting any indebtedness in excess of four per cent of the value of the prop srty in the county assessed for tax stion.
 These premises arc all valid, and relevant to Giln county, and the first two apply to the whole Territory.
 Gila county will set a precedent by refusing to pay it's quota of taxation next year, under the acts of 1895, for the three institutions named.

It seems that prudery exhales a per tume in Chicago, There is a prospect that the memorial fountain to Heinc, the poet, which the German organiza- tions of the city have procured for Central park, may be refused by the police there because of objections to its design, based on grounds of nor ality, It is understood that the ob- iechons to it arc because of two nearly nude mermaids which form a part of the design. The discerning grace of modesty of Chicago having reached Globe, reminds the BELT that there are nude piano legs here, sans panta- lottes, which in youthful minds is cal culated to inhame unohaste desire, and therefore should not be tolerated.

Good taste is the modesty of the mind, hence the assembling of the Christian Patriotic Association in Pitts burg to determine Che question whether the Moody-Sankey hymns arc or are not immoral. Frederick Archer, mu- sical director of the Carnegie Library, is the gentleman whose moral sensibjl- ities were shocked by these hymns being introduced as church music, and was constrained to denounce them as immoral. Should Archer's indictment be sustained, the Christian world ought tO vote and present him leather medal.

VALUE or A Ta,unrcL EOrcArloN.

A technical education, combined with natural ability, is now, and hereafter will be, the guiding star of mining enterprise. As a proof that technical education is the key that unIoclzs the mineral treasures of the earth, we have only to notice the skill required in tue designing and application of meohan- isms that make the manual labor easier and produce better results. The appli- cation of natural forces in hydraulic mining, and the combinations of nat ural and mechanical forces for dressing the ores and for the separation of the metals from the bascr elements, all show tho results of technical education coupled with practical experience. Again, ores that seem utterly worth less to the unlearned, become of great value in the hands of the educated miner The latest development in the preparation, as well as the most i'm proved methods of mining md bring ing the ores to the surface, arc not the outcome of practical experience only. They are the outcome of technical knowledge applied by practical men. There is no reason why a thoroughly practical knowledge of mining should not be accompanied by considerable scientific attoinmsnts, and the mining engineer will find it advantageous to have some acquaintance with nearly all the physical sciences.

caught the flash of pair of steel gray

spirited steed and easily repassed the

before it. But Key had by this time

drop to the smart boot that peeped
from below her gown, and the thought

him as ridiculous as his other miscon-
