and that prOspectOrs are coming into
the new district every day by the score.
The principal mine in the district is
that OF Joe Clark. It was one of thu
first prospects discovered there. It is
reported that the ore in this mine as
shaft. which is perpendicular and
about 40 feet deep is sunk in narrow
dixie of porphyry lying between two
dikes of l'mestone. The porphyry in
places is heavily stained with iron, and
there are seams and veins of crystal
lized lime and spar running through it,
viii III are stained with mineral. Ly-
ing to the west of the Clark mire are
number of veins showing iron capp ngs
of leinenite and hematite of iron,
many of which carry silver from a
trace to to 6 ounces per ton. A num-
Der of locations have been made and a
little work done on several Of these
iron cappings. but in DO instance have
tbey sunk more than a few feet, not
sufficient to fairly determine whether
or not there is mineral of value pres
emit.
J. w. Burris, of Uvalde, is opening
mp an old Spanish mine whose work
ings bad been refilled with dirt aud
drift. They have penetrated to
depth of 165 feet, where they .encount-
cred strong flow of water, which pro-
hibits any further sinking. They will
now open up the later workings. Mr..
Burris is well satisfied with the result
of their operations as far as they have
gone.

A Good SUGGESTION.

EDITOR HERALD:-I would beg leave
to suggest to our citizens, generally,
the wisdom of further beautifying the
stress by liberal planting of shade
trees.
No one thing does as much to add to
the attraction of the place as this and
the outlay is so small for results at
tanned that the poorest can well afford
to make it.
Cottonwood trees can be bought very
cheap and while not as good as many
others yet being indigenous will always
take the lead.
With the growth of our city too much
attention cannot be drawn to such
matters and this is the proper time for
arrangements to be made for early
spring planting.

M. o. Bicknell who has for the last

agent OF the Southern Pacific in this

& Maricopa railroad management as
the general freight and passenger
agent of that company, with headquar-
tiers at Phoenix, and at a salary of $175
more per mon h than he was getting
here.
Mr.. B:ckn. l. has the reputation Of
being a very able man in his line OF
business, so til. his advancement was
merely ques: ION of time. He was
always in oh rye here during Mr..
Huat's absence, and in matters Of
judgment generally he always showed
himself to be man Of sound aud re-
liable business sense. Mr.. Bickrell is
made of the same stuff that men of
Stubbs' calibre are made OF, and his
friends expect to see him at the head
of the traffic department of some big
railway system ere he is many years
older,

smaller than the average of several
preceding years in the countries that
compete with US in supplying the
European market. Thus it is certain
that our good crop will bring rela-
lively good prices, and this means
better days for the western farmers,
whose reasonable prosperity is fund
amental to the business welfare of
the country at large. India, with
her great famine still raging, will
have no wheat to send to Europe
this year. 1t is said that the Aus
tralian crop will barely suffice for
home consumption. The Argentine
export has almost reached the va nish-
ing point, while that of southerr
Russia and the Danubian states is
also, this year, a small factor. The
prospect, therefore, is for a very
large European demand upon the
crop of the United States, which is
expected to be at least 80, 0OO,O 600
bushels larger than that of last year,
and the average price is likely to
continue at least twenty cents a
bushel higher than a year or more
ago.

er great a country may be, and however
absolute may be the power of its gov
eminent, its laws can have no extrater-
ritorial effect. No government, there

When to Shoot Chickens.
Public Opinion.

IuDilC OplnlOn.
Mr.. j. III. Troeh has received the
following letter from Attorney-Gen en-
eral Grigsby, dated at Pierre July 20:
Replying to your favor OF the 10 inst,
i'll say that Chapter 81 of the laws of
1898 provides that no prairie chickens
sh all be killed between the first day of
ia nuary and the first day of September,
and no wild ducks between the first day
oil May and the first day OF September.
Attorney : General Grigsby's
statement as to the provision of the
law of '93 is correct. But all the
same, people have been shooting
chickens on and after August 10.
We canno cite the decision, nor can
we tell what court rendered it, but
some body was arrested for shooting
chickens before September l after
the 1893 law vas enacted and the
case was heard by some court in this
state. 1t was the courts opinion
that the law was not and IS not
valid and that consequently the law
in force previous to the passage of
the chapter in question are not
validity repealed. This previous law
made it lawful to shoot chickens
on and after August Is, a nd sports
men have generally accepted the
courts decision and have governed
themselves accordingly. This
statement of the case may not be
accurate in all respects but it is
nearly SO as our memory serves us.
We believe the supreme court was
not called on to review the decision
OF the lower court. If any of our
readers can give the exact facts in
relation to this matter it would
doubtless please the people interest
ed and especially those who are
contemplating the slaughter of
chickens on and after August IL.
They, of course, do not wish to "run
up against the law" As we have
suggested, this statement is based
on memory only and is ~amendable
if erroneous.

Judge that it was intended solely
for light reading in midsummer; but
a second glance shows that it con-
tains as well much of serious interest.
The second paper by the special
commissioners SEN out by the Cos
mopolitan to India tells a tale, the
like of which has never appeared in
any periodical. We have in histories
second hand accounts of great fam
ines but they lack that startling dis
tinctness which comes from behold
ing at first hand the sights described.
Twenty millions of people slowly
starving to death, many of them in

ear form any idea of the state of
affairs now existing in India. Mr..
Hawthorne has gone into the inter-
Tor and stood amongst the dead and
dying. 1t is the first time that we
have had an American investigation
of the condition of affairs in India.
The report will open the eyes not
only of the the civilized world but
of the English Parliament and the
Queen herself to the necessity of
extraordinary exertion in behalf of
these unfortunate millions. Presi-
