MINING AS A BUSINESS.
A Comparative Showing With
 Other Pursuits.

The following excellent and oppor- tune pointers are from Mr. Eras,us Wiman's Chances of Success:
 alt is fact which nobody can ignore that this continent is . treasure houss in the matter o! gold, quite equal in value to the vast wealth got out of the miues in iron, in copper in coal, and especially in silver.
 "That the low grade ore business is attracting attention ss . basis for manufacturing industry, is shown by the succses of numerous mines in vari- ous psrts Of the country,
 "Ths ability of such . mine as the Trssdwell Alaska property to mine and mill ore at as low . rate as 80 cents . ton, shows what can be done in the shape of the cost and product. II ores are scattered through the eoun- try worth $10 . ton there is . psssi- bility of profit in this direction far more certain than in . majority of avoeatione.
 "A manufacturing industry which will take out of ton of rock from $4 to $l0 worth of geld at cost of from SO sents to g has . better chance for suc- cess than that which spins wool by . spindle loon. and makes it into cloth to bs peddlsd all over the country on long credits, and sold at an advance on She cost for lees than can be reai- ized from she man ufse.ure of gold"

STRUCK OIL.
While Boring for Water the
 Drill Strikes Petroleum.

Mir. P. \. Leigrssn of St. David in this county called ct the PROTECTOR e6cs today and informed us that be had struck oil Saturday on his place, while drilling for art.sisn water.
 He thinks is probshl, the drill pen stratsd the oil bearing strata last Thursday, but it was not noticed u.- til Saturday. At fret the nature of the substance was . mystsry to thoss working with the drill, one gsutlema. thinkiag shat . soap mine dad been discovered. It was finally decided, however. to os oil.
 The drill encountered the oil at . depth of 29O feet. It is of dark. ysl- low,sh color, about the consistsncy of sorghum molassss, ssd burns readily when ignited aad while burning has the unmistsksbls odor sf coal oil.
 This find was . good deal of . sur- prise to all the residsn.s of thas lo- cslity. although MT. Loigrssn says shat he has frequently noticed dark looking spots in the ground which q. erss glance looked as if caused by moisture "a the coil. On examination however, these spots were found to not contain moisture, but were diseolorsd by ssms other agency. He now be- lsives this discoloration to be caused by this sams oil seeping to the top of the ground.
 He will let the artesian water rest Tor while and will thoroughly invss. tigate the new find. Some samplss of the oil will be sent to the Arizona University for analysis.
 Should it trsnsPire that Mir. Lof- green has actually discovered petro- lsum end il should exist in paying quantity it will add one more and . very important industry io the many resources of Cochise county.

The Right Kind of Citizens.

The following clipping was
handed us by friend with the re-
quest that we publish it. The
article is entirely applicable
to our town. Reader, examine
yourself and see if you are the
''right kind" or wrong kind of a
citizen:
GA city is just what its citizens
make it. GiYen the right sort of
people and a desert waste will be
transformed into garden that shall
bloom like the rose, and a struggling
settlement into a thriving city.
Given the wrong sort of citizens
and all the advantages of soil, eli
mate, geographical position, natural
advantages and wealth will 60 for
naught. Manufactures do not make
the city. 1t is the city that makes
the manufactures. The stock yards
and grain elevators did not make
Chicago; pork packing did not
make Cincinnati; a railroad center,
did not make Plttsburg or Indiana
polls. In each case the city is the
cause and the business the effect.
These cities had public spirited men,
and they attracted the kind Of busi-
ness which is located in them-that
is all.
"What is the right kind Of citi-
zen? He is the man who does not
look across the continent for an in
vestment, but spends his money at
home and encourages home enter
prlses. The right kind Of a citizen
does not grumble about high taxes
because he has sense enough to
know that taxes must be high in a
growing city, and that If low taxes
are a desideratum he must 60 to a
place that has stopped growing or
that never has grown much. The
right kind of citizen knows the dis
tlnction between the virtue of econ
omy which avoids all waste, but
spends money freely for public i'm
proyements. and the vice of parsi-
mony that spends nothing unless
absolutely compelled to. The right
kind of citizen is not always a
wealthy man, but he cheerfully
helps to support the public schools,
the churches and all BENEVOLENT and
charitable organizations and institu-
tions. He believes in every worthy
public or private enterprise, and is
always willing to lend helping
hand where needed. lie is the kind
Of a man who does not cry down
one side of the town because he
lives in another portion Of the place.
lie is the kind of man who would
not throw cold water on ameasure
intended for the general good mere
ly because said measure was not
calculated to bring him direct bene-
fit. The right kind Of citizen is
alive to the welfare of the general
community and can always be
counted upon as being upon the
side Of progression and enterprise.
"The right kind of citizen be-
lieves in we'll lighted steets and
good sidewalks and roadways.
He knows that vice and crimes hate
gaslight and electric light almost
as much as they do daylight and
that they delight in darkness.
He also knows that these improy-
ments create a good impression
with strangers. The right kind of
citizen always is fully aware Of the
fact that no expenditure brings so
great a return as that which he
pays in taxes provided the funds be
honestly and judiciously applied.
"The wrong kind Of citizen sees
no good in any of these things; he
aids none of them and supports
none of them."

HAVANA EXCITED.
Explosion I'm the Palace Of the Cover.
nor General.

Copyright, 1896, by the Associated Press)
HAVANA, April 2S.-An explosion, be-
lieved to be due to dynamite or some other
high explosive, occurred in The palace of the
governor general at IL 80 this morning while
the correspondent of the Associated Press
and other representatives Of newspapers
We're waiting in the ante room for the first
batch of news of the day.
The detonation was sharp, and the build
ing was soon partly filled with dust, while
the noise of breaking glass and falling
plaster could be heard on all sides. Part of
the roof of the palace fell in.
The explosion occurred in 4 close. situ-
ated in low story or basement under the
city hall, which part of the building is con-
verted into heap Of rubbish.
The walls were torn, great stones fell,
and printer belonging to the captain gen.
erals office was wounded.
1t was at first believed that the steam
boiler had exploded; but when it was found
to be intact it was suspected that the de-
sruction was caused by dynamite.
The real cause of the disaster, however
is not known.
The greatest excitement prevails here as
a result of the explosion, which, naturally
is attributed to the insurgents or their
friends.

AEMOR PLATE INVESTIGATION.
The Testimony Finally Given to the
Public.

In view of the debate now in progress
in the Senate in regard to naval affairs the
naval committee today decided to make
public the testimony taken by ii in con-
nection with the armor plate investigation,
which has been in progress at intervals
during the greater part of the present scs-
sion.
The testimony covers over 400 printed
pages and includes statements by Secre-
tary Herbert, ex-Secretary Tracey, Com
mander Folger and Andrew Carnegie and
representatives of the Bethlehem works,
besides large number of naval officers,
patent experts and others, covering the
subjects outlined in Senator Chandler S
resolution.
Much of the testimony is devoted to the
cost o. manufacturing armor Hate and the
l'roDable cost of plant for this purpose
10 be erected by the government. Mr. Car
nesie put the cost Of government plant at
from $J,OW)uOO to S7,OOO,C00, while Com
mander liichhcrn placed it at s., 000, 600. Mr.
carnegie declares that the price received
1or armor was very low, and that the rea-
son that the business did not pay was that
the plant was compelled to lie idle a great
part of the time
Secretary Herbert expressed the opinion
that the cost of manufacture did not ex-
ceed $500 per ton. Commander Folger de-
ciared that he had not considered propo-
sltion TO enter. the Harvey company while
acting as chief of ordnance, but said the
Harvey process had interested him from
the beginning.

DISASTER NEAR NEWPORT NEWS PIER
All the Passengers and Crew Were

WARSHIP NOT HURT MUCH

NORFOLK, Va, April 2S-While the Old
Dominion steamer Wyanoke was making
for the Newport News pier about 2:3O this
morning, on her way to New York, she
struck the PROV of the United States cruis-
er Columbia, lying at anchor, and had a
hole cut in the forward part of her star
board side and sahk in about a quarter of
an hour in sixty feet of water. All of the
Wyanoke's passer gers and crew were
saved, but the baggage is all lost and prob
ally the cargo also.
Two firemen were badly scalded, but be-
yolld this no further injuries are reported.
The Columbia was anchored very near
the pier. and was not seen from the Wya-
noke on account of the brilliancy of the
electric lights OIL the pier.
NEW YORK, April 2S.-At the office of
the Old Dominion line in this city, Capt

BEFORE THE CABINET.
The Hammond Matter Considered i'm
Informal Way.

The cabinet meeting today was short two
members, Attorney General Harmon, who
has gone to Cincinnati, and Secretary Nor
ton, who is in Chicago on his way to San
Francisco. The case of John Hays Ham,
mond was considered in an informal way.
No official news of his plea of guilty and
his sentence of death had reached the State
Department up to o'clock this afternoon.
Although there is doubt of the accuracy
of the press dispatches on this subject of
course the government can take no action
in the matter in the absence of Official ad-
vices.
Officials Of the government are confident
that Hammond will not be put to dearfl de-
spite his plea of guilty and there is gen.
eral belief that his plea was based on an
understanding that the extreme penalty
imposed in case of treason would be waiv-
ed in his case.
AT any rate this government will certainly
ask that clemency be exercised in his case.
Negotiations will be opened at once 10 that
end with the Transvaal republic.
