ARIZONA'S RICH MINES.

Mining men in this territory who
 read the assertion in the Los Angeles
 Times that there was no future for mining in Arizona say that a more ri diculous statement was never made.
 The Republican in criticising the ar ticle in The Times mentioned several mines which have a world wide rep utation as producers of gold and cop per, such as the Congress, the United Verde and the Old Dominion. There are dozens of other properties with prospects sufficiently bright to decide capitalists to invest in them, and every day we hear of money coming ! into the territory to aid in their de- velopment The mountains of Arizona have as yet been but scratched over by and seekers after gold and silver and copper. In the next ten years they will produce wealth in such amounts that not mere talk. It is the opinion oi experts who have made careful exam
 nations of the extensive minera
 belts of the territory. The output o1 gold from Arizona mines in the las
 year approximates $1O,00O,00O. The
 copper product mounts into the mil
 lions. New machinery is being in
 stalled in many camps. Men with cap ital who desire good mining invest
 ments should not pass Arizona by This is indeed the treasure territory

ENGLAND IN THE SOUDAN.

French diplomacy has apparently over reached itself in Egypt. The de- cision of the court of appeals at Alex andria that the expense of the British expedition against the Dervishes in the Soudan cannot be taken from the Egyptian sinking fund promises to make the English hold on Egypt stronger than it was before. The ad- vance of the Anglo-Egyptian column up the Nile was undertaken for the purpose of reasserting the authority of the Khedive's government over at least a portion of the Soudan As the benefits resulting from breaking the power of the Mahdi's wild hordes and establishing safer and more scien- tific frontier would chiefly belong to Egypt, Great Britain not unnaturally insisted that the cost of the campaign should be defrayed from the reserve funds which have been accumulated under Lord Cromer's progressive and enlightened administration of Egyp- tian affairs. The sum of S2,500,00 was accordingly appropriated as first in- stalment in pursuance of this policy. The anti-British court of appeals, con- posed of two French, one English one Egyptian and one Austrian member has declared this expenditure illegal and ordered it's restitution. England has just paid it back, in obedience to the courts decision The amount is a mere bagatelle in the finances of the British empire, but it's payment will constitute another reason for prolong- ing the British occupation of Egypt.
 French influence undoubtedly in spired the decision of the Alexandria court. The French saw only the op. portunity to manifest their hostility to Great Britain by infiicting a rebuke upon her before the court of appeals Their malicious folly has made the prospect of British evacuation more indefinite than ever

The Cubans in New York city are already building with poetic faith on the possibility of a Cuban republic. It is proposed to change the name of Santiago de Cuba to Maceo, and to pension for life and give added honors to that chieftan's mother. With imag- inative warmth Maceo's compatriots call him ''the Leonidas of Cuba" A few more Cuban victories would be the best thing possible for Cuba fibre just now.

We can easily understand the dis satisfaction with Gen. Weyler which is felt in Madrid. It does certainly seem, to those watching the progress of events in Cuba from any distance, that he has displayed but little of either generalship or energy. At the same time, however, it must be recog- nized that where two generals, both with regulations to sustain, have failed as Campos and Weyler have, there may be some difficulties to overcome of which those not on the spot can have no adequate conception. Possibly Spain will now experiment with a third commander, but sooner or later she will probably awake to the fact that something besides military skill and strength and large expenditures are required in her Cuban territory

NONE BUT AYERS AT THE
 WORLDS FAIR.

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair, Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums.

THE COUNTRIES CONDITION.

Some Republican papers are com blaming because prosperity has not yet reached all parts of the United States. The situation is not nearly so bad as they would have us believe. It is bad enough, because congress has seen fit to let the nation go plunging headlong into debt without passing a bill that will give it increased rev enue It is true the number of men put to work since election is not very large Many mills are still idle. Fac tories have not all opened up. Capital
 is timid But in the main things are improving. We shall not have the full measure of relief until congress stops trifing with Cuban and other affairs that do not concern us, until the tar if question is settled, until all the
 mills and factories that were closed by the passage of the Wilson bill are reopened, and every man who was | thrown out of work at that time finds new employment. 1 Then we shall have abun- dance, and not until then. But before prosperity there must come peace at

 Robert Louis Stevensons grave in the Apia mountains is said by writer in the Sketch" to be painfully neg lected. Its almost inaccessible site may have something to do with it. 1 At the beginning of the present cen tury the Bible could be studied by only one-ffth of the earths population. Now it is translated into languages which make it accessible to nine tenths of the worlds inhabitants. Nestled among the fierce monarch ies of Europe are several quiet little republics that enjoy the blessing of free government. The republic of St Martin has 5000 inhabitants; Andorra 6,000; Moresnet, the smallest of all, on the frontier between Germany and Belgium, 1,20O inhabitants, who carry on important industries.
 In one of the Canary islands there is tree that as evening comes or quite frequently rains down a copious shower of water from it's tufted foli age. This forms a pool at the base of the tree, which the natives use as drinking water, it being absolutely pure and fresh. The leaves have in numerable little pores on their mar gins and through these the watel flows.

The statement that the Cuban in surgents do not need men so much as arms is probably true, and certainly may be if the word arms is used to in clude ammunition. If half the fight ing of which the American papers are printing reports has occurred on the island recently, the necessary muni- tions cannot possibly be forwarded to the rebels with sufficient rapidity. An army, and each soldier in it who uses modern small arm, requires cart ridges to throw away in these days.
