The DAUGHTERS OF VETERANS
BY BYRON L. OLIVER

Their mission is a mission Of peace;
their work g work of love. Theirs not
to shoulder the musket and march to
the note of the fife or the beat of the
drum. Their work Is at the fireside;
their mission at the home. The condi-
tion of woman in nation determines
it's degree OF civilization. The very
fountain of purity, the strength and
stability of nation lies In the home.
1.-The hand that rocks the cradle rules
the world" The patriotism OF peo-
pie begins at the hearthstone. Love
of country" is not an inspiration OF the
moment, but it is a lesson taught in the
cradle. A seed planted in infancy by
the fireside which grows with increas-
ing magnitude with increasing man
hood germ that is inculcated in the
young mind that develops and strength
end with age and experience. Hence
it is the brave woman who stays at
home. away from the noise and turmoil
of the battle. who encourages with
word with smile and with act. that
makes the bravery and patriotism Of
the warrior possible. So I say of the
daughters of the veterans, their mis-
sion is at the hearthstone to teach, to
instruct. to plant the seed. to inculcate
the lessons of patriotism, to keep alive
the spirit of liberty. the love for their
country and the priceless heroism of
their fathers; to keep fresh the flowers
of memory on the soldiers graves, to
foster and encourage the reverence and
esteem to our country's heroes. and to
watch and care for their declining
years. And l ask, what nobler mission
can be assigned than the care and pro-
lection Of the veterans who fought for
the preservation of our union. Men
who forsook the paths of peace and
comfort and happiness-the vocations
of husbandry and of commemorative
laid aside ambition and all the bright
prospects of youth-it hopes, it's dreams,
it's castles, who severed the ties of af-
fection and happiness and of home, and
assumed the grim harness of the war
rior, endured the rigors of the camp,
the dangers of the battlefield and gave
their lives to freedoms cause. l say
it is a noble mission, and it is a noble
body that has undertaken it. "Daugh-
ters of Veterans" what prouder. title
can one claim? What living heritage

fully compete with the Michigan prod
uct, 1t being possible to place the out
put of that state upon the Cleveland
market at s2.25 per ton, while it would
cost more than that to mine the Arizona
deposits.
In the northeastern sections Of the
territory there is great deal of coal,
but the deposits on the San Carlos res
ervation, near the western border of
New Mexico, are practically unmeas-
ured. With the completion of the ella
Valley, Globe and Northern railway
these fields will be opened and may
prove very valuable. Anticipating this
there is already a movement on foot
looking toward the segregation of the
fields from the reservation in order that
the coal may be mined No approx
mate value has yet been placed upon
them since they are almost entirely un-
explored. The value must be enormous.
i, however, as experts have pronounced
the product of fine quality, and it is said
to make excellent coke.
Some of the more sanguine say that
Arizona is destined to excel in the pro-
duction of gold. This may not be Who'll
ly true, for Californias output remains
as yet an unbroken record; but certain
1t Is that there are many rich properties
in this territory, and probable that a
thorough prospecting may discover
more. And this question of prospecting
is an important one. 1t is something
that has never been thoroughly done in
Arizona. but since the recent boom in
American mines the eyes of investors
have been turned hitherward, and al
ready men are Quitting for these re-
moter districts. Whether or not the re-
suit will justify all these preparations
is something the future alone can tell,
but many conservative men are of the
opinion that gold is the chief resource
of the territory, and metallurgists of
more than local fame, such as DR.. J.
NJ. Ford and his compeers assert that the
entire territory, with the exception Of
Apache and Coconino counties, is under
laid with this precious metal. Millions
of treasure have been taken from the
placer claims. which in many localities
are being proftably worked, even at
present. The county of Yavapai alone
during the last winter furnished en-
ployment in this branch of mining to
700 or 500 men. These placer claims are
of exceeding richness made SO probably
ny the process of erosion which has
been steadily going on for centuries; and
this, by the way. presents an interesting
question to the geologist. Little has
heretofore been known of the

of Arizona, but recent investigation

everything strata rests. In mining, when
this is reached, pumps must be en-
ployed to keep the workings dry, and
in these particular instances it was
found these pumping plants could not
be employed and the mines operated at
a profit.
In the event of the demonstration Of
silver, however, all this would be
changed, since these mines could be
profitably operated Just what this
would mean to Arizona can be readily
understood when it is known that in the
PiraI county there are 100000 tons OF
ore in sight This ore assays sixteen
ounces to the ton. but at the present
price of silver is worthless. If it paid the
working, however. that is if the silver
could be gotten out, this would mean
$10.000,000 in sight. The Silver King
may pay. A few weeks ago one pocket
yielded $4,000 in silver nuggets. The
owner Immediately hied himself to New
York, where he is at present organiz-
ing company,and whether or not there
remain any more such pockets is yet to
be determined. Quite recently the one
time famous Peck property in Yavapai
county was reopened. Some good ore is
in sight and the operation Of it may
prove profitable. The Vicol in Pinal
county has since its discovery yielded
over s1,000,000, and there is yet a good
deal of paying ore in sight The shaft
has been sunk only six hundred feet, but
the mine is not being operated now be-
cause of pending litigation between
the heirs of the Walker estate, Of which
it is a part
Indeed, this is the story of nearly all
the silver mines in Arizona, for last
yeas there were only produced 1900, 900
ounces of silver, hardly as much by half
as the Tombstone district alone used to
produce. Like Micawber, this industry
is now relying upon fate and the "some-
thing that may turn up" May be, it is
certainly to be hoped. that something
will turn up, and that some way will be
found to dispose of this plenitude Of
treasure.
Arizona is also possessed of many
lead veins, the majority of which carry
high percentage of gold and silver.
Last year the lead output was 1000 tons,
all of which was the product of argen-
tiferous lead ores. 1t is authoritatively
asserted that when the smelling era
something confidently placed among
the happenings Of the future-occurs in
Arizona, lead will be largely used to
flux the more precious ores.
The territory is literally ribbed with
veins of iron. but this metal cannot be
worked because of the remoteness of
these deposits from the centers of activ-
ity. Because of this it is impossible to

as a precious metal-certainly not from

of the fact, however that after state
