Negotiating for Silver.

WASHINGTON, June 21-Negotiations have recently been opened through the agents in China of American interests with view to bsve China secure from American capitalists the silver requisite to secure the Chinese indemnity of 2OO,OOO,OOO tsels to Japan. The indem- nlty is payable in Chinese taeIs, equal to the Mexican dollar now worth 53 cents in American money. Under the terms of the treaty, which has not heretofore been stated, payments are to be made as follows: 90, 900, 900 teels next November 5O,OOO,OOO one year later and the remain der in six annual instaIlments.
 The names of the Americans interest ed ID negotiations could not be learned at the Chinese or Japanese legations. If American silver were used to meet the indemnity. the amount would be equivalent to the silver coinage for two yeara while tEe Sherman law was in operation.
 It was reported some time ago that China had raised the indemnity in Paris by securing the guaranty of Russia and France. This has not been confirmed, however, and the loan has not yet been made. The present negotiations with Russia and France refer mostly to the extra indemnity to be given by renun- citation of the Lia Mung Peninsula by by Japan and do not refer to the loan which Americans wish to secure.

The Picacho Gold Mines.

Are situated on the Colorado river 2S miles by land and 50 by water, above, or due north of Yuma. They consist of two groups, those in the Picacho basin 41s miles south of the steamer landing at Picacho, and under the shadows of Twin Peaks, as named by Lieut.. Ives, in his explorations of the Colorado in 1854. The veins are very wide, from ten to 100 feet, and are found iu the contact between the granite and porphyry and between the porphyry and schist. They have we'll defined, clear cut walls and can be traced for miles. Several of the mines have been openeed to the depth of over 200 feet and drifts have been run on the veins for from $50 to 500 feet in length. The ore is free milling, very soft and of low grade, paying from $6 to SS per ton Tn the mill. An excellent
 wagon road leads from the mines to the rlver. Several of the mines are now be- ing developed with the best results.
 The White Gold Basin lies along the Colorado river just east and near Pica- cho. The river is reached from the mines by an easy grade along the can yons which run down from the summit. The ore lies in great bodies extending for miles, some of the veins having as many as clever locations on them, all of which prospect we'll. These veins are found on the contact between tie white porphyry, syenite, granite and the chlOritic schists. The walls are clearly and we'll defined. The veins run N W and s B and tip to the N and N E. The ore is free milling and carries on the average from s6 to sl0 per ton. Aver age working tests have been made from several mines, the ore of which paid from sl2.73 to S16.66 in gold. No bases thus far have been found. The ore car ries only trace of silver. The veins av- craze from ten to fifty feet in width. all gold in paying quantities. Ore taken from the Gold King mine from the richest portion of the pay streak by Geo. w. Norton, O.

The Mora Claim.

WASHINGTON, June 21-The first re- ports as the urgency of the demand made by the United S.sses on Spain for the payment of what is known ss the Mora claim appeared to have been over- stated. The attitude of the United States was stated without any express sion of demand or threat in the con- munication from the state department to Minister Taylor, sent some weeks ago before Senor Maragua, the then Spanish minister, had left Washington. It is said to have made clear that the de- partment's note was due to instructions from congress and that It was desirable to have such response as would permit a communication to congress when it reconvened in December. The note was couched in the courteous terms usual in dealings between friendly powers and was such as to give full execution to the instructions of congress and yet leave Spain to take such action as seem- ed to be consistent.
 The fact that Spain still has minis ter in Washington indicates that thers has been no threats of possible conse- quences such as suggested, as such sx- pressions either in the original note or in any subsequent communication to the Spanish government would have given a cause which governments are jn the habit of following by a withdrawal of their minister. The Mora claim is said to be very unpopular in Spain and the Spanish minister of foreign affairs who agreed on settlement was com- pelled to leave the cabinet.
 The only action ever taken by the courts was in 1886 when 6 committee reported that if the claim was paid the United States should settle at the same time several large claims which Spain holds against the United States.

PERALTA-REAVIS CASE.
Hearing Concluded and Case Submit- ted Without Argumeut-Decisio May be Expected soon-Fraud- ulent Character of Grant
 Clearly Est abi.hed.

Santa Fe New Mexican, June 19.)
 As announced in these columns yea
 terday, the hearing of the celebrated Peralta- Reavis land grant case has been concluded in the Uyited States court of | p.ivate land claims and the case sub mItted to the court without argument.
 It Is presumed that a decision will be handed down in the course of week or SO, probably before the adjournment of the present term.
 The hearing has been very exhaus- tive and the dispositions and testimony introduced on the part of the govern ment by United States Attorney Key holds have beyond all doubt established the fabricated and fraudulent character of the pretended grant from beginning to end. The marvellous structure erect ed by MT. Reavis on 8 foundation of elaborate and plausible perjury and forgery has been so completely riddled and dismsntl that it is now merely mass of disfigured and unsightly ruins. It's beauty, symmetry and apparent strength have forever fled.
 Speaking of the chief claimant Mrs. Perslts- Reavie, Mir. Reynolds says in substances: We have identified her from tt1e, time os- -hr- b;s.n; navo f~...A- -thss- the records of her birth and baptism at the San Bernardino mission were un- questionable forged and interpolated; have the testimony of the custodian of those records that the entries were no doubt forged; have found that the per sons deslgneted as god-parents ot the twin children, of which Mrs. Resvis pro- fesses to be the survivor, never heard of such people or acted as such god parents have traced the facts backward until we finally got to the point where the woman was really born; have :trsced her psrticu- larly from the time of her birth until we located Ter in the possession of Reavis in 1887, since which time she has been claimant; and thereafter neither under the claim of 1883, nor under the amend mended claim of 1887, nor under the claim of 1892, will the people of this country ever hear snything more of the 'Peralts grant, except as a myth; nor will Resvis and his alleged wife have occasion or opportunity to protect the noble status and purity of blood of 8 half breed Indian"
 Clearly this is the beginning of the end of the wonderful case.

OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MINERS.

The fact, says the Santa Fe New Mex Icas, that the predominant feature of the Internationsl Mining and Indus trial exposition, to be held in Denver next summer, is to be the mining ex- hibits and the recognition of mining enterprises, makes the project absolute ly uniqne in the history of expositions. There have been two great and notable mining exhibitions of late years, the one at the Chicago Worlds fair and the other at the Mid winter fair in San Francisco, but each was minimized, in a certain degree, by the fact that it was not the head and front of the two big expositIons. It was, in each case, only sn incident, whereas st Denver the mining exhibit will be the leading feature. The preparation of exhibits, which has already begun in Colorado, shows that some extraordinary results may be expected and that the entire mining west is anxious and willing to cooperate. Colorado IS the hub of tbe
 
 western mining interest. ,InexhsustI- ble in valuable metals in itself, it has directly surrounding it the gre.t fields of wyoming. Utah and New Mexico, while Idaho, Montana, Washington, Nevada, California and Arizona come within it's circle. The interest in these states and territories is already pro- nounced. California is active and the press of that state has had much to say with reference to @ California exhibit Montana and Idaho are also becoming interested and New Mexico should be active. No exposition has so attracted the mining operators and those interest "d directly and indirectly. in the mining iu !ustry, as this.

MYSTERY OF THE PLAINS.
Henry Beauford Was Probably the
 Victim of Foul Play.


 Coconino Sun.
 J. H. Bowman, of Holbrook, who was Tn town the other day. told the Sun the details of the finding of the body of a man tive miles from Navajo Springs. The remains had been partially eaten by the dogs of the dead man, thus destroying the evidences of crime, but there were many indications that pointed clearly to murder.
 Papers found in the pockets of the corpse disclosed the information that the man was Henry Beauford. of Lead vile, Col, who was prospector and had travelled overland from that place. Two express receipts showed that he had shipped from Phoenix to bis home in Colorado two vslises valued at a4OO. When last seen alive he was in the com pany of man who has since disappear ed. That same msn was in the county jail at Flagstaff last fall on charge of petty larceny.
 Besuford's body was found by an h. dian boy, who notified Storekeeper Lypoh. An inquest was held, but that formal hearing elucidated nothing and the body was buried.
