The JoURNAL-MINER insidiously ad- vocates the lynching of men Sc- cused of murder now confined in the Yavapai county jail.-Florence Fri bune. The above is a lie, pure and simple, as every one knows who read the. article referred to. The JOURNAL MINER has always advocated the en- forcement of the law in regard to murderers, and has not only once but repeatedly pointed out the danger of allowing criminals to escape. The editor of the Tribune is certainly possessed of sufficient intelligence to know that the escape of murder CTS from justice, through the in efficiency of courts and juries, has inevitably resulted in lynch law. Human nature is not different in Arizona from other places and there have been more unhung murderers turned loose in this territory prob ably than in any place of an equal population in the United States, and this county has furnished its full quota of the amount. When the editor of the Florence Tribune adds to the above item that the days for strangling in Arizona has passed he simply manifested his ignorance of human nature. The people of Ari- zona are no worse than those of any other subdivision of the United States, neither are they any better. They average up just about the same as the rest of humanity, and it has been the history of other con- munities that when the law fails to afford protection to life the people step in and mete out punishment. A newspaper does not advocate such methods by simply calling attention to the facts, and before the editor of the Tribune stops such proceedings he will have to revolutionize human nature.

 The committee appointed to in- vestigate the county hospital re- ported finding the building Tn good shape the inmates well cared for and apparently happy.
 Several recommendations were made by some of these committees, among which is one that no more wagons roads be built until the road fund debt be reduced to a nominal sum.
 Another one is that more atten- ton be paid to the collection of delinquent taxes.

THE NEW RAILROAD OFFICES.
The Handsome and Spacious 0uAI ters in
 Which They VIII be Located.


 Which They VIII be Located.
 The new building, in which the general offices of the s. F., r. x F. railroad are to be located, is a very neat and conveniently arranged two story structure. Its location IS diagonally across the street from the depot and commands a good view of the depot, yards. machine shops and round house.
 The building is 24x56 feet, and is surrounded on the north side and west end by spacious porches. The east room on the first floor will be occupied by President F. NJ. Murphy. Fronting this on the street is as mall CT room through which entrance to the presidents room has to be made which will be occupied by his con- fidential man pr. G. w. Vickers Joseph Wragovitch assistant auditor and his force of clerks will occupy the two middle rooms down stairs and Cashier A. w. Edwards the north room.
 On the upper floor, Assistant Gen eral Manager R. E. Wells will oc- cupy the east room while the large middle room will be set aside ex- clusively for the use of MT. Cardon and his corps of assistant clerks and the west room on this floor will be occupied bJ Chief Engineer w. A. Drake.
 An important feature of the build ing is the substantial fire proof vault which has been built up two stories. It has openings in 1t from and will be used by the cashier, assistant auditor, chief engineer and the clerks in the up stairs room. This is absolutely fire proof.
 From this it will be seen that all of the general offices except that of the general passenger and freight agent will be located in the new bnilding. General Passenger and Freight Agent George NJ. Sargent expects to reside, for this winter at least, in Phenix, though his office will be located in its present quar- ters in the depot building and will be presided over in his absence by Chief Clerk Anawalt.
 It is the intention to place a cement sidewalk in front of the new building in the spring the season being too far advanced for this now.
 The different officer will be moved into their new quarters some time during the gresent week.

ARIzoNA,s CRITICS.

The Phenix Gazette devotes nearly a column to a roasting" of the author of "A Pilgrim on the Gila," an article which appeared in the November number of Harper's Mag azine. The article is based on the celebrated Wham robbery which oc- cured in May, 1889. Fictitious names are used in the story but tho characters are easily located by any one familiar with that celebrated miscarriage of justice case.
 While the article in question IS not pleasant reading to the people of Arizona, and while the JOURNAL MINER does not attempt to justify its publication in the form it is, yet there are some palliating circum- stances for it.
 The farce gone through with in the court at Tucson over the Wham robbers, so called trial, is a stench in the nostrils of justice, and how ever much the law-abiding, order loving people of the territory may wish to escape from the criticism of that mock trial and miscarriage of justice they an not do it. It is true that the people of Arizona as whole are not responsible for it, but they must bear the responsi- bility so far as the outside world is concerned.
 There can be no denial of the fact that Arizona's representative in congress, who was receiving a salary of 5000 from the government of the United States, for services which, 1t was presumed, should be rendered to that government, accepted fee and gave his services towards se- curing freedom for parties who were charged with a crime against the government and territory. This is a matter of history, and it is further matter of history that the people of Arizona afterwards endorsed the action of their representative by re- electing him.
 Very few, if any, (the jury ex- cepted) who heard or read the evil dence in that case, doubted for a single moment that the officers had secured the parties who were guilty of the crime, yet jury said differ ently. So long as this condition of affairs exist in the territory, just so long may such articles as the one above referred to be expected to ap- pear, and they will always appear in an exaggerated form as did this one.
 Now if the press of the territory would unite in trying to correct these wrongs, and would throw as much vim in the work as they do in denouncing Arizona's critics, there would be far less occasion for such articles, and they would disappear from the literature of the country.

possible to carry on business at any thiug but small scale. It gives work to more than a score of em- ployees and nets its owners the re- spectable sum of twenty-five thous- and dollars per month. Tho reader needs not necessarily be over keen to deduce fiom the above that the Copper Queen has "lead-pipe cinch" on this particular corner of the universe. That they are not despotic may be attributed to their fairness rather than to lack of op- portunity, for they virtually have the region under their thumb (if the reader will kindly imagine the gentlemen in question to possess but one thumb amongst them). The company's attitude towards their employees is such as Mir. Carnegie and other petty despots of that gentleman's stripe might copy with profit to their manhood. The hos pital and public library which the company have furnished for the benefit of their employees, are far ahead of any like institutions in the territory. Especially so the former, which builded upon the latest san itary principles throughout, is at tended by two competent physi- cians, a capable steward and trained nurse and assistant steward. The library contains several hundred volumes of current literature, works on political economy, science, his tory, etc, the reading rooms have on file all the territorial papers as we'll as cosmopolitan American and Eng fish newspapers and magazines.
 Visitors of any mining kno wledge have invariably expressed surprise that more companies are not in operation in such a rich mineral zone where the property could be so easily acquired. When they look a little farther and sse the high grade of the ore which Is entirely ly free from all rebellious matter aud carries it's own huxing; when they learn that here are ore bodies of four hundred feet causes no surprise, while in other places body of one hundred feet is considered phenomenal, they of course come to the conclusion that there must be some cause at work to prevent an influx of invest ors into such desirable district.
 As the great demand now for cop per IS due to the enormous consump- ton of that metal in the construc- tion of electrical appliances Bisbee copper is most desirable as it pos sesses the highest conductivity of any in the market, there is an ex- cellent opening here for capitalists. They can have their choice of a dozen of groups or blocks of claims, viz:
