4 GREAT ENTERPRISE.
The Town of Yuma to Have a New
 Smelling Plant.

Yuma county has demonstrated that great bodies of rich ores of gold, silver and copper abound within It's limits, and all that was needed is outside capital to aid In the de- velopment. The hope of the people of that county has been to interest capitalists in the development Of some of the many good lodes with which that locality is prolific, and to this end Jesse R. Grant has in terested Judge Richards of the Pueblo, Colo, smelters, and these two gentlemen are now engaged in investigating the capabilities and possibilities of the Yuma county mines. Judge Richards is a man of wide reputation in the mineral world, and has had large experience in smelling ores. The gentlemen have made quite extensive investi- gations, and believe that the show ing will justify the erection of large smelling plant at or near the town of Yuma.
 The plan of operations will be to ship coal from England direct to Yuma, and ship ore for the smelter down the Colorado from the min ing localities up the river. To treat low grade ores cheap fuel is neces- sary. This can be secured by ship ping direct from Liverpool
 MT. Grant has a large and in f1uential acquaintance throughout the United States, and numbers men who will intrust to his judge ment large sums of money, hence the fact of his connecting himself with such an enterprise is a guaran- tee that 1t will be carried through.
 Arizona is without doubt the great mineral field of the world, | and the next ten years it's products of the precious metals will astound | the world d-PhOenir Gasette.

Some English papers have taken
up the subject OF salutes III the navy

abandoned, and that China be fol

perial salute consists of three guns,
and that of Mandarins two guns, or
only one. according 10 their rank.
Apparently the argument is that

enough for Englishmen. Saluting
with guns is very ancient practice.

aud will probably continue as long
as guns exist. The protest against
it on the score of extravaganza is
not new by any means.
