The truth of the old saying that "the English people dearly lore q lord" is shown by the pension roll of Great Britain. More than two hun dred years ago Charles II gran ted a pension in perpetuity to the Duke of Portland, for no other reason than tha. he and the duke were jolly good fellows ard on very friendly terms
 This pension is equal to s95,C90 q year and for the pat 22l years has been paid to success!ve dukes with out a wo-d of preto.t from the Eng fish people. out of whose pocket. the money comes.

OXYGEN PROCESS.
Cheap Method of Treating Re

The "oxygen process" for the treat meat Of refractory ores, as patented by F, 4. Stcwar, O; Cecrillos, ought to mean much for the miners in this section of the country.

 Some salena was treated and the resi-
 due 0f the fan cs was a5 smooth and pe.iect q whit, al ss could be bought. The reduction of reirSc tory ores to one that is free milling does not cost to exceed Si per ton, and the entire treatment of any ore by this process will not be more than 8. Smelter charges arc usually about sl2 psr ton. and the freight charges from the camps of New Mexico must be added 10 t.iJ amount. When tie cost Of t,kiag cut and handling i- considered, ore has 70 run above S2O per ton or it does not pay to work. By this pro 'ess Of NIT.

Moro prospecting is going on tbi5 summer in Arizona than ever before at any time of year. The Phoenix Herald truthfully remaIks that the mining wcrli is waking up to the fact that Arizona is great and rich mineral region as yet practically un- developed. Up to the present time there has been jus. enough mining done in copper, silver and gold 10 demonstrate beyond c doubt the re- markahle richness of the territory in these metals. The Iutu-e will see millions oi dollars worth of these met als taken from our mines where there are now hundreds of dollars taken out, and it will be .ound that scarcely & mountain range of the territory but will be pierced hy many valuable mines. Humboldt l1ng ago, with the practical eye Of scien,i5t, described Arizona as land of great wealth in precious minerals, and the practice development of the mines demon strates that his jadsmeDt was not the result of mere gupss work.
