 in the memory of men etiil .N.Dg,S nu l, Arthur H. Elliott, 8 ct zen of ti.' United States and resident of Piafl county, Ariz 2ns, believing an I cknowl edS ng that Almighty God i5 the Su prene Rul,r of the Universe from whom all that is wise and good eman etes, and believing that man made in his image possesses these wonderful fscaiiist wbich are capable of chaining the llght- hing and harnessing the winds aLd bringing from time to time all the ele- ments into subjection for the su''stgD- tisl nd material benefit of q ffeEent -neratious, and likewise believing that the beacon light of science is enlightn- ing men on t0 grand discoveri-s in the remarkable age of progress, l, Arthur H. Elliott, possessed of all the faculties of mind ana body Rs sane man ttnd not carried away by any spirit of undue enthusiasm, do, now in behalf or Arizo- na, that land proclaimed by Hom boldt as the Treasure Box of Americs, cbel- lenge msu of science, mining engineers and scient lists to look into certain min- ing discoveries that 1 have made and refute if possible, any assertion I make. 1 will show you a mountain range, one of the most peculiar in metallic noun oft,r at Aicanuora6 in
 oua; I will show you where millions can be dug out in gold, silver and copper. I will give to Arizona by virtue of dis eovery one of the grandest ind duetrlsl workshops that It will be her pleasure for years to enjoy. l will show you g series of mountains go suitably and it. tiugly designed that nature has placed the doors where men may enter 10.
 will show you a series of group of fami- 'ies of metal mountains which have been ntorted, fqulted, changed, chssmed and eroded until the rock building of ages is exposed to view and successive
 periods of time are plainly marked es the many volumes of a book with it's subdivisions of chapters and clauses.
 Twill show you mountain range " hose
 metal covering holds wealth in absyance
 to the energy of capital and the hands
 of labor.S Upon accurate com mputation
 there is some S250.0G0,O00 to $500, eco, 600 in silver, gold, lead and copper, and the most accurate presumption is that this metal field will be worked with un demiuIshed vigor whilst the new flag of Arizona will bear the marks of infancy, and even up to the time whei sge shall designate 1t as the flag of ons of the most powerful states in the unIon. and they will be working in full blast # long as precious metals are used Rf money and as lsng as the name of Ariz | ons shall be Arizona.
 In Wnclusion I repudiate the blatant sneers of skeptics and tue demegog ( utterances of garrulous lamp post meu. I etand a man among men in the matte
 of this discovery. It means millions ai
 the present time aud in futurlty for Ar zone. It means an electric light cast | upon the mining mysteries of Arizoaa | It IS the su bstantial solving of tha' much vexed expression that has so eft I | slurred the mining interests of Ar;zoIj { | 'namely), "Your mines de not go down | shall use no hood0o stick nor resort l.
 any slIght-of hand performance, but shall point out tbe ore bodies wth un
 srring accuracy. It IS triumph tf II al 1 power over material elements 1t IS th. | picture of man who has conquered | . l 1ounteins; it is A victory in behalf oi | nining that will place Arizona in thc vanguard Of an undreamed of rroeperi ty. My address is.
