MINING NEWS.

T tor of the Chicago Times is mining in Yayapai county.
 The output of the Pearce mine de. llvercd at Cochlse station, amounts to 100 tons of ore day.
 Arizona Gazette: Frank Guerra of Yuma, returned yesterday from Gold. fisld with sackful Of gold ore samples from the Bull Dog mine. It is pro. bable the present owners will soon dispose of their valuable property.
 Arizona Gazette: Charlie Rampf Is in from his mines on the Verde, lift, miles from Phoenix, where for dozen years he has been working He has struck good lead of carbonate ore, gold, silver and lead in the Falcon at depth of forty-fiye feet.
 It is stated that the Mammon gold property in Pinal county south Of Casa Grande, has been thoroughly ex- perted, which will pass it into the hands Of a strong New York company who will develop and push this yalua- ble property for all 1t is worth.
 Citizen; On September lst, it is asserted by the parties who seem to know, that the Silver Reef mill and shelter near Casa Grande, will be in operation under lease, which will work on ores from adjoining properties A California company has bonds oa a number of mines near the mill and it is presumed they will all work in con junction.
 Winslow Mail: Mat IIalla returned from the Tonto Basin country last Sunday, where he had been doing some development work on the copper mine of Messrs. krentz, Wolf X Co. He says the mine improves as depth Is attained, and that it promises to be one of the greatest producers in Ari- zona in the near future. Mat will re- turn on or about tine first of SSePPtteaa. PPtteaa. Der, when work will be resumed and pushed during the winter.
 An expert who recently took meas urements in the Sun Dance and Silver Trail mines is quoted as saying, ac- cording to the Prescott Courier, that the properties have l2,00O tons of ore in sight carrying an average value of S25, gold, silver and lead. These mines are being operated by the Sun Dance Mining Company, of which L. A. Davies is president and general man. ager. The properties are located eleven miles from Prescott.
 Prescott Courier. Cherry Creek mining district is situated about thirty-two miles due cast from Pres colt and nine miles from Jerome, on the Black Hills range It is a gold belt and extends sixteen miles north and south and the width of the belt is about twelve miles, east and west. Gold predominates, but silver and copper are also found. This camp has produced gold sinceits discovery. The ore was arastraed, and there has been since 1873 a continuous output of bull lion, but in small quantities. The ores there would be classed as free mill ing, but base ores occur in spots.
 Since 1878 there have been nine epi denies of dysentery in different parts or the country in which Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was used with perfect success. Dysen- tery, when epidemic, is almost as severe and Asiatic cholera. Hereto fore the best efforts of the most skilled physicians have failed to check its rayages, this remedy, however, has fba uancf rno1s,o,..4

Few measures based upon a popular SEN
timent have been compelled to submit to
such prompt discontinue as the bare
foot" school bill That measure was twice
beaten before II became a law. but by
lacking on a catchy name IL was made a
local issue and members OF the legislature
were pledged to vote for 1t. The theory
was that Il would take the taxes gathered
from the wealthier districts and apply
them In quarters where the paucity Of
population limited the amount available.
Experience has quickly demonstrated the
as a very stern warning against violent
experiments with established and we'll
tried institutions.
SO far from the poorest districts bene-
fiting. II works so great hardship upon
them that In many places the school term
may be shortened. The Populist leaders
who fostered the measure will now md
themselves dlscredited even in those dis
tricts which were enticed into instructing
them to vote for 1t.
Under the old law the funds for school
purposes were derived from taxes. pro-
ceeds OF estray sales. from fines. licenses.
etc. and apportioned upon plan which
gave one-fourth Of the whole amount ac-
oording to the number Of teachers and
the remaining three-fourths In proportion
to the number OF children OF school age.
Under the new law. in addition TO the
usual provision for school maintenance.
the state board of equalization levies a
tax on all property in the state. which.
when added TO the estimated amount of
money TO he derived from interest on the
state permanent school fund. shall equal
81 for each child OF school age in the state.
The fund is then apportioned TO each dis
trict according to the number of its school
children.

Experience under the Harrison admins
tration shows very clearly that the reci-
procity treaties played very important
part In the development Of our foreign
trade Our exports to countries with which
We had such treaties were largely in
creased. and that. too, in a way which did
not involve an invasion of our market
by products which come into competi-
ton with those of the United States. As
1t was the glory Of the Harrison admins
tration that 1t negotiated these treaties
so II was the dishonor of the Democratic
party that as soon as It returned to
power 1t abrogated each and every one
OF the agreements under which reciprocity
trade was being built UP.

to have stirred up the wrong crowd. Not
only have the South Dakofa Republican,

taken Pettigrew into camp and compelled
him to promise that he will 20 to st. Louis
