"The papers of the territory can do no better work than to expose every fraudulent mining scheme that crops up."-Repubhcan. While excellent work can be done in this way, there is another duty that the papers can perform with most excel lent results to the territory. That is to bring about a condition of affairs in this territory whereby greater security to human life can be secured, to the end that Arizona may not be held up to the world by outsiders as an illustration of every thing that is lawless, reckless and wild. Thel united efforts of the press of the territory can effect this much needed re- form. and i, vii. never be accom- plished except in one of two ways. One is for the newspapers to unite in an effort to cry down crime of all kind. and particularly the taking of human life, and to censure courts, iuries and chief executives who per init crime to go unpunishe The other way, which is the wrong way, and undesirable way, is for the peo- p'e to ignore the courts, and become the courts, juries and executioners themselves. Wherever this plan has been adopted, after a long suffering people had worn out their patience with the ineliicieucy of courts, it has proven most eifec- . tive. but it is to be most lamentably deplored that any community should be compelled to hang man without legal trial. The newspapers of the territory can effect reform in this matter fl they will only unite on the question. Human life in Arizona to-day is held at less an estimate than at any place in the United States. almost, when red banded murderers can escape the just penalty of their crimes.

The Murderer of Clancy Captured Las
 Night

The Murderer of Clancy Captured Last
 Night.
 Dispatches received last night by Under Sheriff Dillon stated that at about 9 o'clock, the tramp who had shot and killed Conductor Clancy, on the A. x F., Sunday, had been captured within half a mile of Rob erts' wood camp, at Cedar Glade. The murderer was taken without resisting, deputies Fairchild and Nellis being the officers to whom he surrendered. Later Sheriff Ruffner came up, while at Rock Butte, Sheriff Cameron and Deputy Marshal Nor rell and several Indian trailers were stationed. The prisoner, after sur rendering, acknowledged that he fired on the conductor, but seemed surprised that the shot proved fatal, saving that when he fired he could see nothing but the limbs of Clancy from the position of the latter on the opposite side of the car. The sup position is that the bullet struck the rail, and glancing upward, lodged in the right side of the victim. The companion of the man arrested was caught at Williams soon after the killing and taken to Flagstaff.
 In speaking of his deed and the causes which led to the commission of it, the prisoner said that after be ing removed from the brake beams of the car, Clancy persisted in ston- ing him, several rocks hitting him, and rather than retreat he pulled his gun and fired. He also says that he repeatedly told the conductor to desist, that he would not attempt to ride on the train, but it only seemed to anger the railroad man still more.
 Clancy, the victim, bore the repu- tation as being unusually severe in his capacity as a conductor, on tramps, and it may be that his fatal ending can be attributed to the ex- ercise of too harsh methods and that, too, which even a lowly tramp could not endure.

Senator Chandler, of New Hamp- shire, did about the most foolish thing, the other day, that a full grown, intelligent Senator could do. He introduced bill for the coinage of silver at ratio of 154 to 1. While this ratio is not satisfactory, he provided that his bill become operative when England, Germany and France should pass similar bills. It has been notorious for some time that our president draws his statesmanship inspiration from England, but when the United States has to ask the three great powers of Europe to endorse the laws passed by Congress, humilia- ting spectacle is presented.

In memory of Mrs. R. B. Cannon, who died on Central Verde, Nov. l6, 1895. Oh, sweet is a mothers low song To the babe asleep on her breast; Ring out that soft song of glory, When the twilight drops down
 from the west. For the brows that eternity crown
 eth,
 May never be saddened by woe, And the lips that have sung with
 the angels,
 Are silent forever below. The moon in it's broken reflection Amid its shadows shall appear, As the symbol of Love in Heaven, And its wavering image here. see the long procession, Still passing to and fro, The young hearts, sad and restless The old subdued and slow.

CROOK CANYON, Dec. l.-The old Crook group consists of three claims, the Harrison, Alligator and Blind Tom. The Harrison has a 300-foot tunnel and two shafts, one los feet and the other 65 feet. The ledge is two feet wide and plates $25. Ship ping ore can be sorted out that will go $ll5.
 The Alligator is on the same lead as the Harrison. Development con- sists of a 225-foot cross cut with a 60-foot winze, two shafts, one 90 feet and the other 225 feet. The ledge and ore value is the same as the Harrison.
 The Blind Tom is a recent loca. ton on the same lead, with very lit- tie development.
 From the General Crook mine over S250,OO0 have been taken, most ly by gouging and underhand stopes. On this mine is a Huntington mill which is kept running constantly, when the water supply is sufficient. Messrs. Stull Bros. and Sattes are the fortunate owners of this valua- ble property.
 The Venezia Mining Company owns five claims on the same lead as the General Crook. They are the Painter, Buena Vista, Venezis, Helena and Jumping Jack. On this fine property there is a new l0-stsmp mill, equipped with Woodbury con- centrators and a 25-horse power en- zine. On these claims over 5000 feet of development has been done, mostly tunnels, and the ledge is shown up to a depth of 400 feet. By next Wednesday the mill will be running and a force of fifteen mi ners put on. The ore will be delivered to the mill by a 1,000-foot tramway. The ore can be mined and delivered at the mill for $l per ton and worked for Sl.50. This will net a large pro- fit, as the ore works $l5 from wall to wall. The ledge varies from sixteen inches to seven feet. Twenty five thousand dollars have been already taken from the surface workings of this property. Colin Timmons has a lease on the whole property, in cluding the Italia and the Mineral Spring, which are rich claims sit uated on another lead.
 c. E. Sewall has in the Ellis claim one of the richest mines yet dis covered in this county. He is push ing development work and now has down a 40-foot shaft, and has run an S0-foot tunnel. The ledge in the bottom of the shaft is four feet wide, and it shows up equally we'll in the tunnel. On the hanging wall is two inches of decomposed quartz and gouge matter that goes from $l,200 to H, 800 per ton. The entire ledge works from $50 to $75 per ton.
 The Evergreen claim, owned by W. c. Kent, is a good one. The ore is galena and lead carbonates and carries S60 in gold and silver. The ledge is two feet wide, and the ore value is from wall to wall.

OLD RELIABLE MINE, Dec. g. ED. JOURNAL MINER |: - All that Sam Jones does not know would surely fill several volumes. Still, he hopes that what he does know will occupy some space in the newsy Prescott paper, the JOURNAL MINER.
 Tho cold, everything in the Brad shaws is going on in a fine, warm like manner. Travel through tho mountains increases daily. Miners are going here and there, and, as none come back, they must have ob- tained work somewhere.
 Every gulch and mountain side and mountain top resouuds with the noise of industry and progress, which eventually means wealth.
 Every body is doing his assessment work and this is one reason why things are livelier this year than | last. This means that thousands of brand new gold and silver coins will be scattered to the four winds. Yes, and the beauty of it is that they were never in circulation before. A dollar taken out of the ground ought to be worth two in circula- ton. Mining is just like fishing, you have to put in bate to get any thing out.
 didn't mean to make this hsh story, because I know it to be the truth that the Crowned King is still running full blast, and the camp is referred to as the coming city of the Bradshaws.
 He knows, but does not under stand, why people talk so much about the high buildings of Chicago. Why, tho Bradshaws can boast ol houses with long winding halls, and surely more extensive chambers than any Chicago house. They talk about the elevators carrying them to such height. We have elevators here too. The Chicago elevators go up ours 70 down, that is all the differ ence.
 The miners at the Gladiator have killed ten deer and have found about twenty bee trees. They are surely gladiators.
 Just now the Rapid Transit is the talk of every body. Sam Jones hopes that the mine will be rapid transit to wealth. Its success IS for the country's general good.
 Bill Zimmerman has just about completed a large contract on the Old Reliable group of mines.
 G. B. CrOnk, mining man from Denver, is now visiting the Brad shaws.
 J. k. Liston has just returned after an absence of over a month in Denver and other eastern cities.
 The Admiral Gold Mining Com. pany will soon commence operations on the Eagle Tail, located in Ash Basin, and formerly owned by Ed Brandt, who is now enjoying himself in balmy California.
 MT. Howard, the genial watchman at the Tuscumbia mill, is always willing to say some pleasant thing for you to think over while climbing up that well known hill.

About twenty-five years ago, ac- cording to we'll authenticated ru- mors two Frenehmen were engaged in mining in the western part of this county, and were engaged in working a very rich gold lead. They built an arastra to work the ore with and many are the stories told of the fabulous richness of their ore. No one however seems to have eyer visited their camp or to have known where it was located and when the fate of many other miners and pros pectors of those days-"Killed by Indiana" overlook them their prop erty was added to the innumer- able list of "lost mines" In latter years three stock men, in hunting up a range for cat tie, claim to nave run across the ruins of the Frenchmen's arastra, but not knowing anything of the re- puted richness of the claim which formerly supplied it with ore, or else not caring anything about it, they paid no attention to 1t. or this trio two are dead and the third is engaged in the stock business in Coconino county. B. A. Hussey, one of the rustling, ever-on-the-move old timers has manifested the great est desire to find this old and abandoned mine and has made two or three unsuccessful trips, each each lasting several weeks, in hunt ing for it during the past four or five years. He recently y wrote let ter to the Coconino stock,,man men, toned above asking the latter to draw as accurate 8 map as he could, from memory, of the location of the arastra fouud by him and his two companions. His request was granted aud last Sunday MT. Hussey received the map and again pur
 chased lot of supplies and during the present week has started out again in search of what he believes to be a great mine. Mir. Hussey certainly deserves success for the persistency with which he has searched for this Host mine."

The Iron Springs Mining Com pany has decided to increase the capacity of its mill on the Last Chance mine at once by the addition of at least five more stamps and probably ten. The POO foot level continues to open up we'll both in the north and south drift. Hereto fore the mill has been running on mixed ore, containing some free and some sulphurets, but commencing tonight an experimental run will be made on sulphuret ore exclusively, with a view of determining just what additional machinery will be required
 "The JoURNAL-MISER in roasting a fake mining sale, has done a good work. Too many of these fake com panies have been allowed to go un- noticed in Arizona and other mining countries for the good of legitimate mining. If all such deals, as the one mentioned in late dispatches as having taken place in Yayapai coun- ty were promptly shown up by the local papers, there would be less failures in mining to record.
