NO LEGALIZIMG PKnoEss.

Our contemporary, this morning, copies some figures compiled by MT. Hughes, of the P, P.-whIch means Phenix PopocTat-about the Wolhey bill, which the board of control recently attempted to com- promise, and then re-echoes some of its own howls about illegal legalizing of legal illegalities" and tommy rot of a similar nature. Neither the P. F. or the P. C. aim to tell the truth about that trans action, but both intimate that the present board of control is respon sible for that bill and are attempt ing to legalizing it whereas the con- trary is true.
 A legislative appropriation act was passed to reimburse Governor Wolhey for expenses and services rendered the territory in securing the funding of the territorial bonds. Whether he spent $500 or Sl0,000 in the operation, no one will deny that it was through his efforts very large ly that the movement to fund the bonds of the territory was started and partially consummated Through this action tho territory has been saved thousands of dollar; in interest annually. or cours, each individual citizen and eacl paper has a perfect right to pas, judgment on the question as {, whether he should be reimbursed for any part or portion of his ex penses, or for all. So far as thu action of the present board of con trol is concerned they simply found this appropriation act of the legis lature. It had grown with interes to amount to nearly 5000. The. offered as far as they were concerned to compromise for a little over on, third of the amount. There was n' legaliziag process, no jeopardizins of tax payers interests, as indicated by the P. P. and the P. c. unless i is detriment to tax payers to sav them nearly S6,0O0.

Mining Intelligence.

About twenty men are at work in the old Vulture mine, taking out the ore, and the mill is said to be running at good profit.
 The Etta mine has been located in the Pine Grove mining district by Geo. F. Harrington and T. $. Lee.
 w. G. Press, a Chicago mining man, is operating a steam stamp mill of ten tons capacity per day on the Storm Cloud group of mines, in Maple Gulch, and is said to be we'll pleased with the results.
 Malcolm McLeish, it is stated, has about completed working the old Vulture tailings by the cyanide process. He is said to have made q clean up of a nice little competency on this work. The tailings proved to be very rich and easily worked. O. B. Marshall and W. D. Hall have located the Bryan mining claim in Hassayampa district. The claim is no doubt expected to turn out silver and gold a. the ratio of l6 10 1, without the consent or interior. ence of any other mine.
 A lease and bond agreement from Nathan Levy; Levy Wollenburg, Nelson Gable and Jack Mcdonald, to B. NJ. Belcher and B. H. Smith for the Mark Twain mining claim in the Hassayampa mining district, was filed for record today. Consid- eration, 5000
 A deed was filed for record yes terday afternoon from the sheriff to A. C. Dake for the Old Ohio, Orc Flame and Gro Grande mining claims in the Hassayampa district. These are the old Jennings mines, more recently owned by Dan Hatz and j. w. Archibald. The sale took place in May last. The time for re demption having expired the sheriff issued hls deed tt them.
 The shelter proposition for Pres colt is getting down more nearly to stage where talk aud agitation leaves of and business commences than 1t has ever been before. Out of the propositions recently sub mitted to our citizens, it looks as though something definite and tan gible might result. Every citizen of the town should do what he eau to secure the much desired object for Prescott. With reduction work: in successful operation here, the future of the town is assured.
 A telegram from Denver says that for several days the managers of al the smelters from Texas to British Columbia have been conferring to gether in that city, with a view tC the promotion of allied interests oI mining and smelting. There appears to be a unanimous determination tC devise some means, If possible, tc obtain the true market price foi their products, instead of the doe. tored and insufficient quotation: now furnished by certain New York jobbers. In the case of lead, fol instance, there is no good reason why the market price in New York should not be quoted daily at $4- D instead of S375, and it is believed that through concerted action or the part of all the lead smelters justice can soon be obtained. The same is true of silver.

The Shelter Proposition Taking on
 On Tangible shape and Success
 Seems Assured.
 The attendance at the meeting of the Mining Exchange last night was very good and considerable enthu- siasm was manifested by those pres ent. The proposition submitted by MT. Pritchard, representing the Pacific Smelling Company, was read by Governor Powers. In brief, it is to the effect that the citizens of Prescott pay a bonus or royalty of S250 per ton above the regular charges of the smelter up to an amount of $I0,000, said payments to be made on Monday of each week for the ore smelted during the pre- vious week. The shelter company agrees to have it's plant in operation by May 1, 1898, and IS it to have a capacity of not less than sixty tons per day, and to be increased as the demand requires. The committee appointed by the Mining Exchange to consider this proposition, sub mitted its report as follows:
 To the members of the Prescott Mining Exchange-Gentlemen: We, the committee appointed at special meeting of your honorable body to consider and report upon a proposi- ton made by "Tbe Pacific Smelling and Mining Co.," of Los Angeles, California, having in view the erec- ton of a smelting plant in the City of Prescott, respectfully report as follows:
 We believe the mining industry of this section of the territory has reached a stage of development that fully justi6es the erection of a smelting plant such as is contem- plated in said proposition. We also believe that under competent and careful management such plant can be successfully and profitably run.
 With proper assurances from "The Pacific Smelling and Mining Con- pany," showing that they have the ability to erect and run such plant, We believe that a bonus of $l0,OOO should be raised by the citizens of Prescott and mine owners of Yava- pal county as reasonable encourage ment for the erection of such plant.
 However, in place of S250 bonus on each ton of ore smelted by said company, as proposed by their duly accredited agent. we recommend that the bonus be made Sl.50 per ton over and above the regular smelting charges on each ton of ore smelted until the full amount of Sl0000 has been paid.
 We further recommend that the Mining Exchange appoint a smelt- ing expert to examine the plans and proposals of said Pacific Smelling and Mining Company, and see that the plant is new and complete in every particular and is suitable for the purposes proposed,
 Respectfully submitted,
 JNo. J. HAWKINS,
 ls. c. POWERS, Chairman.
 Secretary.
 The question as to whether ar engagements had been made with the railroad company having been raised, Mir. Pritchard replied that he had a satisfactory verbal agree ment,
 Wm. Claypool was appointed as an expert to examine plans, specii- cations, and to look into the adapta- bility and worth of the proposed plant, and the name of J. L. Giroux, of Jerome was suggested as an assistant to him.

General Wade Hampton, who has just been succeeded by Gen. Long street as commissioner of railroads, has submitted to the interior de- partment his report for the past
 fiscal year. He says that the year marked the low water mark of raIl- way construction. During the year 34 companies, with 5,44I miles Cf road, passed into the hands of the courts, and 5S others, previously placed in receivership, were sold at foreclosure. A steady improvement in railroad earnings during the first six months of the current year is noted, an improvement particularly apparent in the bond aided Pacific railroads. The outlook of the west generally for the present year is reported very encouraging. Govern ment ownership or operating under under government supervision, he says, would be not only a doubtful, but a serious experiment, which probably would result disastrously 10 the government.
 The P. c. issues another procla nation of its own virtues this morn ing. Yesterday it claimed credit for having accomplished about everything that has ever been done in Arizona, and this morning it files a claim on about all the honesty and integrity that was ever brought to the territory. The constant pro- claiming of ones good deeds and virtues is usually sufficient to arouse doubts concerning them.
 It IS amusing to note with what persistency the Chronic Courier erects before its distorted mental vision imaginary foes to Arizona's interests in the shape of boodleism and jobbery, and with pessimistic club continues to lambaste the air without results. After the "bat- tle," utterly exhausted. the Chronic Courier lifts its saintly eyes to the populace and inquiringly esks: What would become of Arizona il it wasn't for the Courier7" Mean while, the world wags on, and Ari- zona is prosperous and content.

THE GLADIATOR DANCE.
A Large Attendance. Good Music, EIab- crate Refreshments and an
 Enjoyable Time,

GLADIATOR MINE, Nov. I6.-lBy Sunset Telephone from a JOURNAL MINER staff correspondent. The dance given at the Gladiator mine last night, was the greatest social event in the history of the Brad shaw mountains, and probably in the history of any mining camp in Arizona. The preparations for the event were not only elaborate, but complete to the minutest detail. nothing having been overlooked by the parties in charge which would add to the comfort and entertain ment of their guests.
 There were 150 ladies and gentle men in attendance, of which from fifteen to twenty were from Pres colt. The music was furnished by c. Willbanks' orchestra from Pres colt.
 The grand march commenced at 8 o'clock p. m., and was led by H. BlaGyelt and Mrs. 4. Falco, and dancing was continued till midnight. when a magnificent banquet was served-one which would have done credit to large town. It was very elaborate and was prepared with excellent care and great expense, and Tn spite of the large number present, was served with system and to the satisfaction of all present. After the intermission for refresh ments was over, dancing was re- sumed and continued until 5 o'clock this morning.
 The event throughout was one which will long be remembered from its pleasant. associations by all who attended.

FACTS OF THE CASE.

The Courer accuses this paper of making a statement to the effect that it, (the aforesaid P. O., was not trying to tell the truth. No such intimation has been intended. The impression which has been intended was. that it was not accomplishing this object. It may have been try ing very hard, and failed.
 If it aimed at the truth this morn ing in its assertion that "the Vol fey bill had been previously declared an unjust claim by proper tribunals" it struck far wide of the mark. No tribunal of any kind, proper or i'm proper, other than the territorial legislature, has ever passed on the question of the justice of the claim. That body recognized it as a just and valid claim by passing a bill appropriating money for its pay ment.
 It might be inferred from the above assertion of the P. c. that a court of competent jurisdiction had passed on this claim, as to whether 1t was just or unjust. The language used is value and is susceptible of such construction, while it is true
 uch an assertion is not made.
 If such an inference is intended, it is incorrect. The board of con- trol, in cutting down the appropria- tion to about one-third of the entire amount, in the interest of tax payers, may possibly have exceeded their authority, but it would seem that the parties who would be expected to object to their action would be the beneficiary of the bill, and not any self styled, immaculate friend of the tax payer.
