Students, dentists ana physicians are

the most gratifying of success, and with a decided addition to the amount of black copper produced. The De troit Copper company's works at Mo renci are now being practically doubled in capacity and have very mountains of rich ore upon which to work. The same may be said of that most curious of copper mines, the United Verde of Jerome, and of that tremendous car bonate deposit at Bisbee.
 Gold and copper are of a surety the metals of Arizona and with both the future is of the brightest.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The Evening Post in the last edition says contract was signed this morning by all mem bers of the new bond syndicate, sub ject to formal acceptance by the gov ernment. The syndicate agrees to fur nish eleven and one-half million ounces of gold, amounting to about $200000,000 in gold, the government to take half this sum first and to have the option of taking the other part and deliver four per cent, thirty year coin bonds at about the same price as paid for the last issue of bonds, the managers of the syndicate to receive a commission of one per cent. The price at which the last bonds were taken was 10449, at which they yielded 3A per cent interest.

BLIZZARDS IN THE EAST.
Arizona Is Not Alone in Her Cold
 Weather.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The cold wave reached this section today. It was heralded by violent wind storm which at o'clock reached a velocity of seventy-two miles per hour. Bay Ridge, Staten Island, Jersey shore and Coney Island received the fu.l force of the wind As the morning advanced the wind decreased slightly and it was still blowing fifty miles an hour at 10 o'clock. Tie thermometer registered 32 degrees. In the interior of the state the storm was very severe.
 At Little Falls the West Shore rail- way tracks were washed out. Reports from the Adirondacks indicate much damage by the wind.
 PITTSBURG, Dec 13.-Following the heavy rain yesterday a blizzard struck Pittsburg at 10 o'clock last night and ragged until daylight The wind attained velocity of thirty miles per hour. Telegraph wires were prostrated and communication with the east entirely cut off until nearly noon today. The mercury dropped twenty-five degrees in ten hours.
 CLEVELAND, Dec 31.-After a steady. downpour of rain in this city all day yesterday the wind suddenly veered from the south to the northwest early last evening, causing rapid fall in the temperature. The gale reached velocity of forty-one miles an hour here, and farther down the lake it is said to have blown at the rate of sev- enty-one miles an hour At Dunkirk, New York, it is reported that the wind blew at the rate of seventy-five miles an hour.

GOLD AND COPPER IN '95. Product of ArizOna'S
 Mines. The Decreasing Ratio of Silver Output.
A Vast Increase Anticipated In the Production of Gold and
 Copper.

The past year for the mineral in- dustry of Arizona has been of pros perity far ahead of anything known in the ten years preceding. Silver, it is true, is being produced in diminishing quantities, but gold and copper are coming forward in even greater ratio to take the place of the white metal in the annual reports.
 As near as can be estimated at this date the mineral product of Arizona for the year 1895 was as follows:
 Gold, $6,2OO,0O0.
 Silver, 375,000 ounces.
 Lead, 100000 pounds.
 Copper, 60,000,000 pounds.
 The gold product is several millions in excess of last year. It has come from a very multitude of sources. The stamp mills have ground it out of the oxide ores, and have concentrated it from the sulphurets; it has been gleaned by the placer miner from the creek beds and precipitated from old tailings in cyanide vats; it has been found in copper ores of Jerome and has been extracted from rebellious ores shipped to Colorado and eastern smelt- OAo. hO S1IA III 5Olu udo pl been from the pyritic Hedges of Yava- pal county, now being explored in all energy and with all success.
 The silver, and the quantity is about the lowest ever noted for a years run, has mainly been obtained by the re- duction of gold ores in combination. Several silver mines, however, have been lately awakening and '96 will doubtless see a production of over a million in silver
 In copper there has been rise from the product of '94 In '94 as we'll as in the greater portion of '95, the Old Do- minion works at Globe had been closed down. To '95 they have contributed not over million pounds '96 they may be expected to produce at least 15,OO0,OO0 pounds, what between the three large furnaces of the Old Do minion company and the plants of the Phelps-Dodge mines that will soon be at work

THE POLITICAL WORLD. Congress and the New
 Tariff. A Quiet Day in Both the
 Houses. Preparing Abroad to Gather In the Promised issue of
 Bonds.

] WASEENGTON, Dec. 31.-In the senate today Senator Perkins of Cali fornia asked unanimous consent for the consideration of a resolution di- recting the committee on finance to report an amendment to the house tariff bill laying an additional duty on raw sugar equal to other increases of the bill.
 Senator Chandler's resolution di- recting the committee on naval affairs to investigate the prices paid by the government for armor plate and whether any officer of the government was interested in the patent process, was adopted.
 In a speech Senator Mitchell of Ore gon declared that no industry had re- ceived such staggering and deadly legislative blow as that inflicted upon the wool industry by the Wilson tar if act. It drained from the United States within the last year $85, 1000, ,000 in gold to pay for foreign wool and oc- casioned a loss to the wool growers of this country of more than $100, 100000. Unless this legislation was changed the sheep industry of the Pacific coast would be annihilated Mitchell re- ferred to the condition of the treasury and the presidents appeal, and added ''While providing at the earliest pos sible moment for legislation which e,,E t+o relieve the administration of it's pres ent embarrassment, other important questions should not be lost sight of in the performance of our patriotic re- sponse to the prf sident and we should legislate so as to retrieve from the danger of desGrcti0n one of the greatest irdust |, ,ricilGn down by the Wilson tariff act" Mitchell said the tariff bill passed by the house would probably increase the revenue S40,000,000 a year. Amended as it should be by affording wool, lumber barley, hops and other agricultural products adequate protection it will give an additional revenue of $50, ,000,- 900 and place @ paddock upon the so- called endless chain by which gold is drained from the treasury, stop all necessity for a further issue of bonds and rescue from impending ruin the wool and other agricultural interests of the country.
 Senator Sherman introduced the fol lowing resolution:
 That by injurious legislation by the Fifty-third congress the revenues of the government were reduced below it's necessary expenditures and funds created by law for the redemption ot United States notes have been invaded to supply such deficiency of said re- serve; that such misapplication of the resumption fund is of doubtful legality and greatly injurious to the public credit and should be prevented by re- storing said fund to not less than s100,0O0,000 in gold coin or bullion, to be paid out only in the redemption of United States notes and treasury notes and such notes when redeemed, to be reissued only in exchange for gold coin or bullion"

The stock exchange opened dull and inactive, but later the the of the market improved. The firms involved in American securities were declared defau.ters today on the Liverpool stock exchange.

MYSTERIOUS INSURGENTS.
Spanish Authorities Don't Seem tc
 Wnow Where They're At.

FlAVAlNA, Dec. 31.-There is still much uncertainty regarding the move ments of the insurgents. According to official reports they are in full re- treat, but it has been intimated Gomez was making for Cienfuegos, with the intention of capturing that seaport. An announcement made today would however seem to show that Gomez is in the vicinity of. Jaggney Grande, south of Colon in the same province.
 A most uneasy feeling prevails, and it is believed that serious fighting has taken place near Caliente and that the meager facts made public do not begin to tell the tale.

A LARGER PLACE.

The Church needs to give the Holy
Spirit larger place in her money matters
She needs an increase of faith in God a
lirmer confidence in the all sutliciency Of
His resources, and in the power of the
Holy Spirit to work upon the hearts of
men to lead them to give according to His
will. Under the Spirits power and lead
ing, giving would be lifted to higher level,
and, instead of there being so many ques-
tionable methods of money raising. by
which worldliness is introduced and spirit
uality driven out. there would be an in
creased spirituality throughout the Church,
all the needs of the Lords work would he
supplied, and success would crown the
Efforts OF Gods people everywhere. In the
financial work of the Church. as elsewhere,
we shall receive power after that the Holy
Ghost Is come upon us.-Lutheran

HOW UNWORTHY.

How unworthily of my immortality do |
bear myself and how like scrf of time,
when my Impotence cannot wait year
for result, a month for reward or a
week for promised blessing Thou dost
not blame my ardent desires, dear Father.
But with Thee there is no fretfulness. Thou
doest live in the successful eternity. Draw
me there with Thee, O Thou Prince of
peace and patience, BY daily proofs of
thy loving kindness, by the unfolding of
thy wise designs, by matchess surprises of
Joy, shame me from my distrust Remind
me that tomorrow holds Thee, even as to-
day, and holds, therefore, all of today's
beauty and strength and joy. Teach me
that Thy postponement of happiness always
enlarges it, if | will he enlarged by
the delay. Convince Thine impatient child
that thousand years of waiting for bless.
ing do not impair the blessing, because
Thou art not impaired Grant me the
faith that exults to be tested and the peace
that is not in bondage to any event.-Amos

TRUTH FIRST.

The truth is worth more than the mar.
The more truly man pulsues truth for
truths sake, the more does he lose sight of
himself in gaining sight of the truth. MANY
an investigator is more disturbed about his
own priority than he is about the priority
OF the value of the truth. Few finer
things could he said of any discoverer than
what has been said Of the eminent physicist
HelmholtZ; "He never INDUCED in one of
those reclamations of priority into which
scientific vanity is sure to he BETRAYED. hut
several times published notes to show that
his own results were not So new as he and
the scientific world had believed them to
be-" When tie world is doing homage to
one whom it acknowledges as its great
master in science, what grim delight must
he find in reminding his admirers that the
truth is first, even though it compel them
to regard him as second. Yet this is the
true spirit, not alone for the distinguished
scientist, hut for every plain, obscure man,
woman and child. Truth lir.t!-American

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT,

AND SECULAR PRESS.
Words OF Wisdom and Thoughts Worth
POndering on Religious and
Moral Subjects.
GOD IN NATURE.

Apparently man is the only created he
ing upon earth who is able to enter appre.
ciatively into God S enjoyment of natural
beauty. 1t may not be safe to say tlat no
bird or animal ever enjoys it at all, but
evidently most of them afford little proof
of such appreciation, and many seem obliv-
ious of their surroundings. TO us. how
ever, it is given to enter in part into the
Creators understanding of nature and to
share his delight in its charms. But in
order to do this we must regard it from
Gods point of view, 1t must he accepted
and studied as a true revelation of the di
vine character and love, even if it be a rev.
citation of only secondary importance
That our knowledge of it is not complete
is proof of the divine wisdom This in.
completeness is an invitation to further
study and pledge of additional enjoyment.
From every point of investigation nature
exhibits afresh and continually the wonders
of the divine wisdom and power, and the
even greater wonders of the divine love.
At this season of the year especially it
attracts our eyes and engages our thoughts.
Let no one fail to welcome its appeal to
our hearts, -Congregationalist.
