 Practical Miners. THE COMING ARIZONA. Her Mines of Silver, Gold, Cop per, Lead and Onyx Her In dustrial Marts to Which

THE COMING ARIZONA.

l do not intend to write the history of the United States from the accession of George Washington down to the ages in the memory of men still iIyIpg, but l, Art5ur H. Elliott, citizen of the United States and resident Of Pinsl county, Arizona, believing and acknowl- sdging that Almighty God is the Su- preme Ruler of the Universe from whom all that is wise and good emaustes, and believing that man made in his image possesses these wonderful faculties which are capable of ohsining the hght- ming and hsrnessing the winds ard bringing from time to time all the ele- ments inte subjeetion for the substan- tial end material benefit of different generations, and likewise believing that the beacon light of scleIee is enllghtn- ing men on to grand discoveries in the remarkable age of progress, I, Arthur H. Elliott, possessed of all the faculties of mind and body as sane man and not carried away by any spirit of undue enthusiasm, do, now in behalf of Arizo- ns, that land proclaimed by Homboldt as the Treasure Box of Amerios, cnal- lenge men of science, mining engineers and scientists to look into certain mir- ing discoveries that I-have made and refute if possible, any assertion make. l will show you mountain range, ono of the most peculiar in metallic noun tam architecture yet discovered in Ariz- ona; I will show you where millions can be dug out in gold, silver and copper. l will give to Arizona by virtue of dis covery one of the grsndest ind ustrisl workshops that 1t will be her pleasure for years to enjoy. will show you series of mountains 80 suitably and it. tiDgly designed that nature has placed the doors where men may enter in. will show you series of group of fami- lies of metal mountains which have been contorted, fsultsd, changed, chasmed and eroded until the rock building of sges is exposed to view and successive periods of time are plainly marked as the many volumes of a book with its subdivisions of chapters and clauses.
 will show you mountain range whose metal covering holds wealth in abeyance to the energy of capital and the hands of labor. Upon accurate computation there is some s25O,00O,O00 to $500, ,OO0,- GOO in silver, gold, lead and copper, and the most accurate presumption is that this metal field will be worked with un- demiulshed vigor whilst the new flag of Arizona will bear the marks of infancy, and even up to the time when sge shall designate 1t as the flag of one of the most powerful states in the union, and they will be working in full blast as long as precious metals are used as money snd as lsng as the name of Ariz- ona shall be Arizona.
 In conclusion l repudiste the blatant sneers of skeptics and the demagogic utterancas of garrulous l8mp-post men. I stand man among men in the matter of this discovery. It means millions at the present time and in futurity for Ar izona. It means Rn electric hght cast upon the mining mysteries of Arizona. It is the substantial solving of that much vexed expression that has so often slurred the mining interests of Arizona 'namely), "Your mines de not go down." shall use DO hOodoo stick nor resort to any sllght-of- hand performance, but shall point out the ore bodies with un- srring accuracy. It is triumph of man power over material elements. It is the picture Of man who has conquered the mountains; it is a victory in behalf of mining that will place Arizona in the vanguard of an undreamed of prosperi- ty. My address is.
