 A new we'll boring machine has ar rived at St. Davids, and already con- tracts have been arranged to keep it busy for some time. The number of artesian wells sunk at this favored locality are in the neighborhood of twenty or more, and no diminishing of supply is thus far recorded.-Pros- pector.
 IA number of mining experts have been in the city during the past few days inspecting a number of mines and prospects near the city. It is Tu- mored that they were sent here by syndicate of eastern capitalists who contemplate purchasing extensively. Bisbee has the best copper claims that can be found in the southwest, and eastern moneyed men are looking in this direction, and as a result there will be a raise in values here soon.- Bisbee Orb.

Arizona has a great opportunity to interest the people of the United States in her vast mineral resources which should not be neglected. The discoveries of gold on the Klondyke have excited the cupidity of thou sands in every state of the Union. Not only have thousands started for the gold fields but numberless ,syndi- cates are being organized to conduct mining operations in Alaska on a large scale. Pending the opening of safe and practicable routes to the Alaska ddggings the country will be full of men who are permeated with the gold fever and who might easily De influenced to try their fortunes nearer home and in a climate which permits of mining operations the year round
 Mining in Arizona is as yet in it's infancy. Prospectors have but scratched it's surface There are placers in Arizona as rich as any the world has yet raved about. There are hundreds of square miles of virgin territory waiting for the advent of men and capital. Since the estab- Hshment by The Republican a few months ago of a mining department there have been many rich strikes in as many rich fields. One young man made a $100,0G0 strike in Yavapai county only a few weeks ago. The wonderful discovery of the King of Arizona mine by Eichelberger would have excited the whole country had it occurred in Colorado or California
 The trouble is that Arizona is not we'll advertised in the east. Men make rich finds every few days, but the world at large never hears of them. A strong effort on the part of the business men of the territory at this time might be productive of won- derful results. There are thousands of restless spirits in enc east who might be induced to try Arizona be- fore Alaska if ttffIB- proper representa- tions were made. The mining re- sources of the territory need to be exploited The Republican is doing what it can to excite interest in the subject of mining. All the available mining news is printed in its col umns, and the paper Is being sent through channels that ought to be productive of good There should be concerted movement in this direc- tion. The railroads operating in the territory or connecting with territor- ial lines might we'll take up the min ing question. A list of the strikes made in Arizona in the last year would undoubtedly, if properly pre- scented to the country, result in a largely increased population in short time. This matter is one in which every friend of Arizona ought to show interest. We hope to see the railroad companies take it up. There are millions n it. for Arizona and for the men who come here properly equipped to embrace the mining prop ositions.

THORNTON'S BIG DEAL.
New Mexico's Former Governor Has
 a Fine Mining Property

Santa Fe, Sept. 16.-Ex-Gov. W. T. Tholpton of Santa Fe has not allow ed the grass to grow under his feet since he quit the executive chair. Since April last he has spent most of his time in Sonora Mexico, and in Denver, with the result that he has just closed one of the neateSt sort of mining deals After prospecting for two months in Mexico, the eX-gover- nor located a property in the Cpos- ara district, state of Sonora, and proved to his own satisfaction that it was a great gold proposition He went to Denver in search of capital for it's development. Ex-Gov. J. B. Grant, Dennis Sullivan, Capt. James of the Grant shelter and others ques- tioned him pretty closely when he told them to send an expert with him to verify his claims for the property. The expert reported last week He found 16, 600 tons of ore in sight, which was just twenty-eight tons less than Gov. Thornton had estimated it at. It didn't take long to close the deal after that. Gov. Thornton is now here consulting Lunt FIipper of the United States Land court, expert on Mexican titles, and tomorrow he meets Gov. Grant at Lamy Junction, the two going thence 10 Sonora to take possession of the property. It consists of a group Of six mines and it's location is eighty-five miles south of Bisbee, Ariz.

There is a township in Dauphin county in which there are 254 inhabi- tants, according to the census, and fifty voters. In that township there is no minister, no church, no Sunday school, no lawyer, no justice of the peace, no industrial work of any kind and no place where liquor is sold. There are three grocery stores and one school house. When the people want to attend church they have to cross the river to Perry coun- ty and Htalk to Duncannon. The township is Reed.

Ba1ch, Heir Of Prince of SeTvia.
 A Vienna cable to the New York Sun says: Ex-King Milan of Servia has inherited the entire fortune of the late Baron Baich. amounting to many million forins. Baron Baich was the heir of Prince Michael III, of Servia, who died in 1868, and was succeeded on the Servian throne by Prince Milan, afterward proclaimed king.
 If any man of royal associations needs other peoples millions he is Milan, once of Servia, but more re- gently of any European city where gambling, questionable women, and interruptions men-about-town are plentiful. He has been the champion spendthrift or Europe, excepting mo- body. Ills debts ran far above 10,- 100000 francs when he was on the Servian throne. He borrowed from his cabinet ministers, from his tax officials, from the princes who vis- ited him, from the Hebrew money lenders of Berlin and Vienna. No moneyed man who once came within his reach escaped him No seeker after crosses or stars went undecorat- ed from his door if he had the cash with which to pay for the royal hon or.
 Milan made his Belgrade palace a voluptuaries' and gamblers resort. Gambling was the order of the night as we'll as day, and, when there was no longer a man to gamble with. Mi Ian would bring over the border from Vienna company of Austro- Hungar- ian fair women to entertain him. Once he imported q whole burlesque troupe At another time fle had at his palace for a week the happy chorus of Vienna comic opera com pany. His wife, the beautiful Natalie, who had endured about every variety of debauch known to Balkan manhood, lost patience when the chorus arriv- ed, and left the palace to Milan and his riotous crew. She was "a woman of ordinary Russian extraction and Balkan morality, but, even so, Milan's pace had become trif1e too uncanny for her. From the day of the chorus's arrival dated the acute quarrel which ended in Natalie's expulsion from servia and Milan's abdication in favor of his son.
 Of course, Milan did not aibdicate free Of charge. That was not his royal highness's style. He was paid for it. He was paid for abdicating and keeping his disreputable person out of Servia, then and foreverm ore. He conso1ed himself with the fortune his abdication brought him by ca rousing in Paris, Nice, and London. He gambled to his hearts content. until he was put out of Paris club for cheating at cards. Then he be- took himself to a dancer, who has made herself as notorious here as in five capitals abroad. and lavished the wages of his abdication on her. It was a gay season while it lasted, but when it ended Milan was again a financial ruin. At 'once he threaten ed to go back to Servia His son, King Alexander, paid him to stay away. Others, too, have helped pen sion him, but not in a way to suit his extravagant tastes. A man accus- toned to chartering a whole chorus and gaming away half a million in week was not to be satisfied with couple of hundred thousand a year. Nevertheless he patched along with it in retirement, leading such a quiet life that the gay continental world

The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1897-08-26

Summer is dying, slowly and almost
imperceptibly. The year has passed
it's zenith. Respectfully we have to
admit the fact, for it will brook. no de-
NAL. On every hand unmistakable
signs of the passing of the season
present themselyes-signs that we
have met with so often in bygone
years that, much as we are tempted to,
we may misconstrue. The morning
breeze fans our cheeks with freshness
unknown to us during the past three
months, bracing Us up and giving new
zest to life. The fields are mostly
cleared and over the stubble focks of
blackbirds go foraging for loose grain
scattered by the operations of harvest.
On the telegraph wires bands of swal-
lows are congregating, instinctively
anticipating their coming journey to a
warmer CLINE, perhaps holding migra-
tory councils. Along the shore the soft
note of the summer snipe falls on the
ear; presently we come on family OF
these little birds hunting for tit-bits left
on the sand by receding wave. By
the roadside the golden rod-sure har-
binger of autumn--is in full bloom, but
we miss many insect forms that were
familiar to us amonth or two ago. Wan
dering along the outskirts of a wood,
a leaf, prematurely colored, futters
down and squirrel scampers away at
our football from an investigation he
was making of partially opened hick-
DRY nut. At the head of the wood we
follow path across the prairie; covey
of chickens, flushed by gunner from
an adjacent field of wheat stubble, flies
whirring ahead of us, alighting in a
corn patch half mile away. The sun
is sinking, bathing the heaYens with a
prodigality of splendor, and the in
creasing GOODNESS of the air warns us to
| hasten homeWard. H. M. A.
