 Despite the fact that silver is down to about half price and silver mines are not held in high esteem, Luke X Kirkland still continue tO work thcir mine in Bradshaw Basin with the most entire success, not only paying for the cost of production and of ex- tensiye development, but gaining a handsome profit beside from ship mcnts of the ore to El paso for rcduc- ton. Much of the ore is rated at Sl00 to the ton.
 The Silver Belt says the Rain Gold claim. owned by E. j.

 Reports from Congress mine are that the property has been developed to be one Of the most valuable in the world For a long time the workings were ofof maximum depth of about 700 feet, the ore above being deemed entirely satisfactory; in point of ore body width and Of yalne per ton. One hundred tons day were mined and millod, the mill picking Up a steady average of S20 a ton in gold from the refractory looking pyritc ores. Then cyanide plant was put in position and 100 tons of tallings are now being daily worked at good profit.
 Prescott Courier: The working in the McCabe mine are reported down 3s0 feet, the big pump has been put in place and heavier steam pipe is being put in, there is large body of ore, while the country around the mine is dry, the mine affords abund- ance of water for all purposes. A continuous supply of water has been developed with the vein to it's deepest workings, demonstrating the fact that deep mining in this section not only shows up plenty of ore but plenty of water to work 1t with. There is said 1 to be not drop of water on the sur face in the vicinity of the McCabe.

ArmenIan Question very old.

Not even the Armenian question is new.
Apparently Edward Ill had To deal with it,
though in The greatly modified form OF
three monks. In the year 1860 these
refugees came TO the king at Reading, and
made Complaint that the Mussulmans were
trying 10 exterminate their people. Hence
they had fled, and now asked leave TO live
in England and collect subscriptions for
their fellow-sufferers. The king granted
this petition and took the Armenians under
his protection, but only as long as the pro-
tected should do nothing injurious TO the
king and realm and should ',bear them
selves in true faith and honesty" The
incident is very curious. From that time
To this-635, years-the persecution OF
the Armeuians has seldom ceased. Yet
the Armenians have survived and kept
their faith. Surely there must be a good
deal in a people with such history as this.

"John Bun." The mythical parsonage
supposed TO represent the English people,
and HOW figuring largely in our editorial
wiring and IN cartoons, was tie invention
of DR.. uihnot, in one OF his satlrical
sketches ridicaling the great Duke OF
Marlborough.
In the opinion OF DR.. johnson, Arbutimot
was ''the first man Among the eninent
writers in Queen Anne's lime He
drew John Ball as The typical EnglishmaI,-
a stout, rcd-faced old farmer, far too cor
puicn, for comfort, choieric, but wiihal
an honest and well-meaning fellow. He
clothed him in yellow i,reecbes and top
buots. put a stout oaken cudgel in his
hand and bun dog at his heels, and set
him up fer all time TO serve as the repre-
sentative EnElishman. He may have been
moi so bad n caricature in the days OF
Queen Anne
But today there is certainly much force
in Leslie Stephens remark that ''he COM
ple,ely hides The Englishman of real hfe."
The average Engiishman of 1896 is physi-
cally no slouter than, probably not SO
stout as. the average American. and the
stout cudgel and the bull dog are no
longer APT symbols of The modern Britisher's
disposition. He has lost the excessive
pugnaciiy of his forefathers, and. as we
have lately seen, is aboye all anxious to
keep the pcaeG with his Uncle Samuel.
Speaking OF Uncle Sam and Brother
Jonathan" whose names are being freely
used. too, in the passing international furry,
there is no doubt about their origin. When
General Washington wenf To Massa chusetts
lnft no pxplut iOnlr Y.
he found a great lack OF amfnJnii ion and
other supplies. He turned for aid to Gov
ernor Jonathan Trumbull. of Connecticut,
and got it. and in many emergencies OF that
period he used the phrase. I'VE must con
suit Brother Jonathan on the subject. The
expression became nationally current. and
if stands as the American parallel TO John
Bull Uncle Sam was not invented 2Stil
the war of 1912. Two inspectors of war
supplies at Troy. n. Y, were named
Ebenezcr and Samuel Wilson.
A workman in their employ was marking
a lot of casks received from one Ebert
Anderson. a New York contractor, and which
were thus stamped: "E- A.-U. S"
bystandcr asked the workman what these
marks meant. and he replied that they
probably meant "Elbert Anderson and
Uncle Sam" alluding to Inspector Samuel
Wilson. who was locally called Uncle sam
Thus the initials of the United States were
Transformed by a local joke into nationa!
sobriquet. which will doubtless last as long
as our republic
But who first undertook to give the por-
trait of Uncle Sam or Brother Jonathan as
a long. lean slabsided, lantern -JayYed in
dividual is not known. Whoever he was he
libeled us. There is strong reasons for be-
lieving that the average American of today
is heavier In the scales. broader between
the shoulders. deeper in the chest and more
generous waist girth than any OF his civil
tied contemporaries.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

The Weather Has Been unfavorable
for Growing Crops
The report Of correspondents of the
Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued
by the North Carolina Weather Service,
for the week ending Saturday, April
nth. 1896, indicate rather unfayorable
weather for tie growth Of crops,
though farm work has not been ma
terially interrupted. The temperature
was cosiderably below the normal, the
mean for the State for the week icing
about SO degrees, and indicating . de-
fciency Of nearly three degrees. The
week was very dry; less than third
of the average precipitation occurred.
The amount of sunshine was above the
normal. A warm, gentle rain is much
needed to cause the termination OF

Pratt and Hugh Wightman, the Electro
Therapeutist and the Bacterologist
of Bennett Medical College of this city,
claim to have practically proved with
in the last week that epidemics will be
impossible in the future.
Various germs were grown in tubes
in proper media. Magnetic lines Of
force from the crook tube were then
passed through them. Application
tasted two hours. The cholera germ
appears to have been wiped out entire
IS. The dyptheria bacteria have been
treated very tenderly and fayorably,
but after eight days have failed to show
the slightest signs of life. There has
been no activity in the bacteria of the
other classes and with certain modifi-
cations, the doctors are now ready
to announce that the ray properly APP
piled will destroy any form of infec-
tious or contagious germs. This is
endorsed by the college.

WESTERN DISTRICT Farmers
made a full week ia blowing and plant
ing corn. and in drilling in fertilizers
for cotton. In the northern portions
of the district the weather was very
cold for the season; in the southern
portions more favorable, though the
nights have been too cool. A moderate
rain occurred on the 9th, which helped
small grains considerably, though the
average for the week was less than
OILS inch. Fruit trees have been some
what injured, but high winds pre-
vented extensive damage; the trees are
still backward, apple buds but just
swelling, and unless later frosts occur
there will be plenty Of fruit left Some
March-planted corn has come up. Cot
ton land Is nearly all prepared and
planting viii soon begin. Wheat ~
doing well. but winter oats are poor.
Farmers are still sowing spring oats,
which, where up, are in good condition.
Grasses are late. Gardens and truck
patches were unfayorably affected by
the cold weather.

EASTERN DISIRICT.-Ihe weather
this week has not been favorable for
the growth Of crops, ana very little
improvement in vegetation is reported.
The Temperature was 100 low, the
minimum falling to nearly the 1reez-
mo point on the Sth. Several frosts,
especially Sunday morning, the 9Th,
damaged uncovered strawberries COM
siderably, and truck and young corn
slightly, and thinned out young to-
bacco plants. Very few correspond
ents in this district think that the
fruit crop is seriously damaged, as
the winds were TOO brisk. The rain
fall for the week averaged less than q
quarter of an inch and occurred mostly
on the 9th, mixed with some sleet.
Planting corn has been pushed rapidly
and early planted is coming up fairly
well. Large areas Of cotton land have
been fortified and thoroughly pre-
pared and little cotton planting has
been done. Irish potatoes are coming
up nicely. Gardens as yet show little
progress. The first shipment Of straw
berries was made April 10th.
