An Unfortunate Family.

Thomas Letcher IS in receipt of let ter announcing the death of his brother, William, caused by an explosion of gss in the mine of which he was foreman, at Compania de Huauchacs, Bolivia, South America. The deplorable accident hep- pened February 26 last, and twenty-slx miners were suffocated.
 William Letcher was 46 years of age, and 8 native of Cornwall, England, where his wife and three children reside. The deceased had lived in South Amer ica the greater portion of the time since 1869, and bad been foreman of the mine eince 1884, which is evidence of the con- fidence reposed in him by the com pauy. The Letcher family has been psrticu- larly unfortunate. Of four brothers, Tom and Harry survive. and Harry, now in England, is almost totally blind, the result of premature explosion 8 few years ago at Mammoth, Ariz. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved Belt.

Congress Mine. Prs scott Courier.

Latest reports from the Congress mine are to the effect that crosscut drift IS to te run from the l600-foot level to tap "A parallel ledge 700 or 800 feet distant. Work on the main shaft is also pushed with the same vigor. Burleigh drills are to be used ID the cross-cut drift and also in the main ehaft. About one car load of concentrates per day is now the output from the 40-stsmp mill. Much high grade ore IS also shipped. When the cross-cut drift reaches the parallel ledge the mill capacity will be increased to eighty stamps, and the working force will also be greatly increased; the pay roll will then carry the names of 600 men. The mine is said to be operating at greater profit than ever ID it's his tory, and this is saying great deal, es the Congress has been a great dividend d payer ever since extensive work began on it.

Pleased With Gila County.

W. H. Layton, an old resident of Ya- vapai county, was caller at the Silver Belt office on Tuesday. About fifteen months ago he had the misfortune to loee hIs arm by the accidental discharge of gun, which incapacitated him from mining, and he has since leased his mine at Chaparal.
 MT. Layton, who is an observant tray eler, was impressed with the natural resources and evidences of thrift in the Tonto Basin, northern Gils county. Ys- vspai county is suffering from sn un- precedented scarcity of water, the result of the lorg continued drouth, which is telling disastrously against both the mining and live stock interests. Mining has been almost suspended in conse- quence, and thsre are now only three mines of any importance operating ID the county, south of Prescott, viz: The Congress, Crowned King, and United Verde at Jerome. The range is bare of grass and there has been some loss of cattle already along the Verde. The outlook is certainly blue.
 Mir. Layton was sgreeably surprised by the change in the appearance of the country and the we'll conditioned cattle after entering Gils county. Along Rye and Tonto creeks he found the rsnchers cutting alfalfa and grain for hay and the s:ockmen gathering cattle The Clines, Peters and others were prepsr- ing for drive of 600 or more head of cattle to Holbrook, for H. J. Rsmer, who has purchased several thousand head in Gila county. Fruit suffered severely from the late frosts, but the orch ards at Packard's and several other ranctes about Tonto creek and Salt river will bear sufficient fruit for tbe owners use. This is MT. Lsyton's first visit here and be is impressed by the business activity and prosperous appear ance of Globe.-Globe Silver Belt.

tional bimetalliSm which failed

the circular quotes this passage
Of st. Louis money plank and
they build more hopes upon it:
awe are opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, except
by international agreement 10y

selves to PROMOTE"
This is u continuous text in Bry-

can party hereby cOnicSscs, "said

qucntly, "that the gold standard
is not a good thing, why shouldn't
the United States discard it and
again take up silvcr?"
The Republican purity confessed
no such thing. This international
agreement plank was never of
practical Importance, nor WAS il
intended 10 he. All that was
meant by it WAS that, out Of our

Bimetallism is dream and al
