Al. Marsh, who Tor many years kept . station on the old overland stage route route in California, arrived in Kingman this week after . perilous trip down the Grand canon. Some mouths ago he went into the caiion north of Flagstaf with several burros and a prospecting outfit. After pros- pscting down the cshon for 100 miles he ran out of provisions and concluded he would strike cut for civilization. Being unable to get out of the canyon he built raft and started down the river. Fifty miles on the river brought him into dangerous rapids and he had to abandon the raft. Climbing the cliffs that hedyed him in he finally, after days of weary soil and struggle, reached Aubrey valley and the rail- road, foo.soye and half starved. He will not attempt to regain bis burros or camp outfit, e he has seen enough Grand canyon country and its scenic beauty to lest him slifetims.-Mohsvs Nipsr,

Statehood will come to Arizons thi. year of our Lord, says the Star; that is the bill will pass congress and be approved by the president before the year 1897.

Let us sec to it, that there be no faction in either party on the statehood issue, and let it te under stood that all the people are for state- hood, irrespective Of politics, and there will be little danger of the outcome. Politically, Arizona uncertain and this is a strong argument, with Politi- clans and both parties w,ll hope to se- cure the new state; but if there be fac- tions in either party, that make the success of that party doubtful In the event of statehood, and that fact will be made apparent in congress, and whichever party is engaged iu fac tionsl broil, that party in congress will defeat the statehood bill; hence the importance of harmony in all parties st prsssnt

FOREIGN COPPER PRODUCTION.

The foreign copper production shows a falling Of from s9.03l long tons in 1894 to S6,S00 in 1895, so far as we have returns. but As other small CT producers have not yet sent in their 6gures the outpu. from all foreign sources was about equal to that of 1894. There is s probability that the improved price of copper during the past years will have some effect in stimulating. production at least we learn from valued correspondent in Chile that "the improvement in cop per Ia real Godfsnd to Chilean miners" and that the neighborhood of Antofagasts where costs are co excessive old mines in the latter half of the year were being taken up. Mines are now at work where instead of fighting water as often the case, the water for the entire service hss to be hauled 40 miles.

There are \ shafts in the group, hut the deepest Is only lO6 feet and the others range from 40 10 GO. There are no cross-cuts. The mines have been worked only three months or ihereabout and in that time 6,000,0o0 pounds of ere have been taken ou..

The Washington Post tells story H.
lustrating the politeness of Minister
Ransom. One day, when he was in the
senate, as he was going down the cap
itol steps, he saw approaching a very
dull, long winded man. Ransom was
alarmed. He was in no mental or phys
ical shape to bear the brunt of a full
hedged bore just at that moment. He
must do something to save himself. As
the dull one drew near, Ransom, in his
desperation, greeted him with short
ness and hurried by. The other had
paused, but at this brief dismissal, as it
were, turned away mp the steps. Ran
som was smitten Of conscience at his
own rudeness. It was foreign 10 his po-
lite and flowery instincts. He must do
something to take the soreness out Of
the man. Ransom turned pleasantly
when some ten steps separated him from
the bore and called out: "Goodby.
