Wednesday morning about eleven o'clock couple of shots and the ring ing of the fire bell were heard and, smoke, which soon burst into flame, was seen to issue from the residence of J. T. Brickwood. The fire com pany arrived at the fire as soon as pos sible and had just trained stream of water on the burning building when the hose broke. But it was soon mended and the flames subdued. Had it not been for the prompt response of the fire company it is likely that the north end of town would have gone up in flames as there was high wind at the time, and if the hose had not burst the greater part of the building would have been saved. The hose is old and worn, and our citizens should unite and purchase new hose for the fire department.

THE SONORA EXPEDITION.
Troops Surprise a Renegade Camp
 and Capture Boy.

It is announced by the Bisbee Orb, of June 27, that the expedition of the Seventh cavalry, with Indian scouts, which crossed the line into Mexico to cooperate with the Mexican troops against the renegade Apaches, sur prised small band of Apaches in camp, about thirty miles south of the bound ary line. Lieutenant Averill, with the scouts, and Lieutenant Yates, in com msnd of the troops, planned to sur round the renegades' camp and were closing in around it when the scouts repeated their suspicious performance of . few weeks previous in Guadalupe canyon. They commenced to yell, calling the renegades towards, who, thus warned, broke for the mountains and hid in the rocks. The troops captured an Indian boy, ' or s years old, eight horses and saddles aud the entire camp outfit. There were four bucks, three squaws and two boys in the party.
 The boy captured by Lieutenant Yates IS said to have informed the scouts that the maiu camp of the hostiles is located in the heart of the Sierra Madre, about sixty miles south of the line, near one of the largest peaks, which has been on fire for some time, abd known as the burning mount ain. The expedition decided to act upon the information received and endeavor, if possible, to surround the camp and capture the entire band of hostiles.
 The Orb says: The action of the scouts in all or the engagements so far has prevented the capture of the bands, for while they seem willing enongh to trail their fellow redskins into camp, when the time for action comes they always manage to warn their brethren in some manner so as to give them an opportunity to escape.

out the COW ponies and started with them eastward.
 Sheriff Orme telephoned promptly to Billy Moore. special deputy residing at Mesa. asking that he take horse and follow the thieves, summoring aid if necessary. Moore is the man who cap tured "Kid" Thompson at Reno, and is one of the best men in the service. He lived for years at the Camp Reno ranch, where he yet has cattle, and is thoroughly familiar with the region and with it's inhabitants. Last night Deputy Sheriff Gibson and one of Otero's sons were sent out to follow him up and give assistance.
 The theft is one of the boldest that has been known for years, as the track can be readily followed, and the men must cross Tonto Creek valley and with out doubt will be seen. There seems to be no idea as to the identy of the marauders Republican.
 Later information is to the effect that the robbers were captured Tn this county by Enscio Ujas, Leck Cline md Robert Shell. and the horses and stolen property recovered. The thieves were identified as John and Jeff Hannigan, of New Mexico. They were taken to Phoenix and turned over to tine sheriff

Whether one wants to hold his claim or sell it, it is best, whenever practi- cable, to get United States patent for it. Once that is secured, 1t is unneces- sary to do any further annual assess ment work on it. In case it IS desired to sell it, the possession of United States patent is second only, in the eyes of the purchaser, to the value of the claim itself In any event it stops probability of litigation, and every miner knows that where not so pro- tected the discovery of unusual value in claim is nearly always the signal for vexatious lawsuits.

A partisan press is alwayG servile, and invariably treats the peoples inter ests as secondary to party success. This is we'll illustrated by the present temporizing attitude of the republican newspapers of Arizona which affect to see in the ascendancy of the republican party compensation for that party's hostility toward silver coinage. The democratic papers are no more con. sistent, for while they profess to be ardent advocates of 16 to l bimetal. lism, they are obsequious in their praise of gold bug governor and his truck. ling appointees.

Sale of the Rosemont Mines

| The sale of the extensive group of copper mines, smelling plant and other buildings situated at Rosemont, Pima county, was consummated today, says the the Tucson Citizen of June 26, and the we'll known firm of Lewisohn Bros, of New York, are now the owners.
 The final payment for the entire property was made through the Con- solidated National bank, of Tucson. to the former owners, l.. J. Rose, of Los Angeles, Cal, and Messrs. McCleary and Shaw, of Rosemont. The transfer includes all the possessions of the former Rosemont Mining & Smelling company, one of the best copper mining propo- sitions in Arizona.
 The sale is of tho greatest impor- tance to Tucson and Pima county, since the purchase by the Lewisohn Bros. means active resumption of mining and smelting and consequent valuable increase of trade, Tucson be- ing the natural financial center and base of supplies.
 The firm is identified with other DOT. tions of our territory, being agents for the famous old Dominion Copper company, situated in Globe, Gila county. The sale was inaugurGted and com pleted through the efforts ot Dr. Alex Trippel, himself one of the best known mining men of Arizona, and formerly superintendent of the Old Dominion Mining company, and also the Buffalo Mining company, both of Globe.
 George l.. Thompson, an experienced eastern mining engineer, has been on the ground for the past four months as representative for the purchasers and has done much toward the successful completion of the deal. That the new owners have procured a most valuable property at comparatively small outlay is known to every mining man hereabouts. We have not yet learned exactly when work under the new regime will commence, but it will probably be very soon.

ALWAYS A SUPREME ISSUE.

It is contended by the opponents of free silver coinage that movement embodying but one idea cannot sac ceed; that party in order to command the suffrages of the people must formu- late and adopt a comprehensive policy of government. This assertion is sup ported neither by reason DOT precedent. In fact. the history of politics in the United States proves the contrary to be the case. True, the democratic and republican parties have elaborated policies, combinations of principles which at various times in the past were originated and urged as distinct issues, Many of these were ephemeral and gave place to more vital questions. while the two most profound issues which ever sgitated the people-slavery and the right of secession--were settled by the arbitrament of war.
 State sovereignty and the freedom of  the individual, as opposed to central ized power vested in the federal gov. arnment, was the distinguishing feature
 'e[ .ocratic doctrine under Jefferson,
 t the republican party owed its
 .,gin and early triumphs solely to its oppositlen to slavery. Every other political party that was ever formed in the United States owed its existence to the advocacy of one pre-eminent sidea.
 The issues which have really been s -reat, producing lasting effects or ra,. 1ical changes in the laws and customs of the country have been few in num- Der The supreme questions have been states rights versus federal supremacy, extension and abolition of slavery, the tariff and the financial issue. Of these, the tariff and finance retain their vitality and probably will continue for an indefinite time to exercise a con- trolling influence iu party politics. Opposition to the encroschment of the federal government is still democratic tenet, although greatly weakened and modified by the result of the war of the rebellion.
 The financial question has appeared in politics from time to time in various forms, viz, state and federal banks, silver and gold vs. paper money, bond issues, the greenback, establishment of the national banking system in 1864, resumption of specie payment, and the silver question, which became an issue in 1875, two years after silver was demonetized.
 The silver sentiment has been of slow growth, owing to the insidious influence of the money power which has fastened its tentacles upon tie party organizations in the eastern and middle states aud dictated temporizing policy until the common people have rebelled against party dictation and have com pelled new alignment of parties on the silver question, which will remain the supreme issue until settled by the votes of the people.

The Butte Miner, in denouncing the action of the Montana republican dele gates in refusing to bolt with Senator Teller, sounds the keynote of tbe senti- ment of the people of Arizona and New Mexico, whose representatives also refused to go out with the silver cham pion. The desperate explanations which are offered for their action simply add to the public condemnation of the course pursued by the delegations. The people are desperately in earnest on the silver question and will brook DO compromise or straddle. They are firm believers in the sincerity of Sen ator Teller and feel that when he left the convention he should have been followed by the entire Arizona delega- tion. on.-Tombstone Prospector.
