LIKE many others, the TRIBUNE WIS disposed to be skeptieal regarding the wonderful discovery of sand carbonates made near the RiPsesSr srT mipsa hga fsw sYerl,S F Florence. It must be confessed that q matter of million dollars in sight in croppings would stagger almost any body; but now that Mir. Henry's assays have been verified by returns from San Francisco, where Mir. John T. Best sent some of the ore; the rich find has passed beyond the limits of joke. 1t is as- serted by several of our most respousi- ble citizens who have been on the ground recently that there ia verita- ble mountain of ore, and that the half has not been told regarding it's extent. Taking an average of this ledge from seventy-six assays made by Mir. Henry and at the Selby works in San Francis co the returns show more than $l0 iii gold aud over l5 per cent leed If thesa returns are accurate, and the TRIBUNE believes they are, this is the biggest discovery that has been made since the Comstock. It is monster low grade smelting proposition, just such thing as mining men with large capital are looking for, as it means steady divi- dends for years. The development of such property would also solve the railroad problem, and bring prosperity to Florence and Pinal county.

THE Mining and Scientific Press gives the following good advice to mine owners: Investors will not go to the necessary heavy expense of hav- ing mine examined without some proof that there is strong probability that it is valuable. For this reason they refuse to examine many good properties that are not properly pre- scented. Mine owners should learn that mines may be sold by samples of the ore bodies, to certain extent, just as wheat and other articles of commerce. Yet the average mine owner has bad habit of taking samples that ore of no value, and not only deceives himself, but others. He must learn that mines are not purchased nowadays without thorough examination and. that he must present only such facts as may be substantiated."

 ". A. CLAIR. the Montana millionaire, has just returned to Jerome from Paris. where he has been for some time negotiating for the sale of the United Verde mines, situated at that place. for soo,oOo,O0O. The present output of these mines is at the rate of S6,OoO,OO0 per year, and the outlook for the future isvery bright.-LTuoson Citizen.
 Sixty million dollars is double the entire taxable wealth of the Territory, which makes the people think that perhaps the United Verde and a dozen other rich mines are not assessed for as much as they ought to be. The assessor catches the poor devil for all he is worth, however.

A Tough Country.
,v,.o,a tbs Prescott Journal-Miner.l


 There is a placer mining district lying in Yavapai and Maricopa counties known as San Domingo which IS run on the principle of principality Of Its own. The men who make up its exist ance seem to be banded together in ties If secresy and have isolated themselves in sphere of their own and not gener- ally known. They dry wash and send their gold quietly to various points for sale. Tie complexion of the place makes it an undesirable center for the wandering prospector to camp In Tor more than few days at time, owing to q lack of water and also lack of hospitality from those who hold the Hhip hand of its life. Several miners of late it is said have gone there and staked of ground, only to be gently reminded that they were intruding, when they pulled out. The place is made up of floating population of Mexicans and half dozen white men, and when the weather is cool numbers at times lbO people. Not claim is on record from that section, and it seems to be concealed in it's life behind the veil of fraternal duty. The impress sion prevails that it is rich in float gold, and is rated along with the Weaver diggings. Interest in this place is manifested somewhat keenly by a report that ruby, measuring seven-eights of an inch long and one half an inch wide, was washed out recently and which was sold to Tiffany of New York for the sum of $1,0O0. There is but one store, one place to procure water, and one idea of the peo- pie of that section. and that is they have the Hcinch" and intend to keep l

A GOLD convention is to meet in Denver July 7th. It is not a gold-bug convention but convention of men who operate gold mines.

HE Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Press says: oIt is but the honest truth to say that there are probably not half dozen men in Washington who look with any conf dence to any particular good to come out of this attempt to bring about at this time international bimetallisn for these reasons: Germany, England and France are all more or less irritated because of this tariff legislation, and it is looked upon here as most inop- perfume time to bring about any agree ment with those countries in favor of bimetallism. The leading bimetaIlists in England are quoted here as having expressed the opinion within the last month that no agreement can be reached with Great Britain for any conference on the subject. Germany $ irritation, although without justiRca- tion, concerning the tariff bill will probably make that country less dis posed than ever to listen to any sug- gestion from the United States on the subject ,,

Two Enciues Lost

The two engines, mention of which was made recently, and which went into the quicksand mile below Seldep, are said to have disappeared entirely, sinking in the treacherous stuff. The Las Vegas Examiner says that this incident calls to mind the incident attached to engine 196, which sfmi- lar1y became lost about three miles from the same place in 1884, and was not recovered until 1889, five years afterward, when she was taken ont a quarter of mile down the river from where she went in, taken to Topeka and rebuilt, and is now running out of Topeka. On this engine was found a bottle of whisky which was on the en- zine when it went down. Many efforts were made to locate the engine, but all were unavailing until it showed up of it's own accord quarter of mile away, where it had been carried by the action of the sand. This is the story as told by railroad men, who vouch for it's authenticity.

Archie Mateson, who was one of the contestants in the two mile handi- cap race at the park last Sunday which was declared won by Ross Grouse, has appealed from the decision of the referee and will lay the matter before the chairman of the racing board ot the 0. A. c. c. at San Fran cisco. Mateson was in the lead when he was ruled out by the referee on account of his brother entering the track and pacing him. The rest of the contestants objected to this and Matte son was ruled out. The decision will be watched with interest as it will decide like complications-in in the future. --[Phnnix Gazette.

SHERIFF ALBERT ERICKSON, of Hous- ton, Texas, who with his wife has been in Pinal county for several weeks has become interested in some valuable mining property near the Black noun tain, of which the TRIBUNE will have a write-up in week or two or as soon as the exact data can be eobtained. The parties interested have been very ret icent regarding it, but the magnificent showing cannot long be kept hid. Mr. and Mrs. Erichson left for home Thurs day, going by the way of California, but expect to return in the fall. While here they made very favorable im- precision on our people, and they will always be warmly welcomed.

THE railroad survey which is now being run by the Santa Fe people from Deming to Phoenix will pass through the Pinal county coal fields, and near She rich mines on Mineral Creek, Mann moth, Ripsey, Riverside, Mineral Hill, Reymert and Silver King. Such road when completed would do the principal part of the business of Florence and the Casa Grande valley, and would be a paying proposition from the start. Travellers across the continent over such line would form different con ception of Arizona from the prevailing one, as roads at present run through
 the dreariest deserts in the Territory.

FOurth-oIsss postdiasters Appointed.

The Republican post-office guillotine has already twice broken herecord for the appointment of fourth-class post masters during this administration, but, not content with that. it went ahead yesterday and set the mark of decapi- tated heads up thirteen Higher than ever before, or 153. Of this number of appointments; 51 were to i'll vacan- cies caused by death and resignation, p having been removed at the expira- ton of four years service, leaving the inference to be naturally drawn that the remaining 30 were removed for political reasons: The appointments were pretty widely distributed among the various states; Maine getting rather more than her share in 2s, and Ohio coming next with 19.

Mexican Children!
Prom the Rural Home.l

Tn Mexico, a group of lads from seven to twelve will meet and each boy will decorously lift his hat, and salutations of extreme courtesy will be exchanged, and then comes the boyish chatter, the run and the laughter, the same as anywhere. Boys here treat their elders with respect. An old man or woman is not the butt of the youth of Mexico; rather for the old people are reserved the shadiest seats under the trees in the park. A Mexican boy or girl on entering room walks around among the company shaking hands with all, and on leaving the room does the same. Urbanity is taught in the public schools, as arithmetic is at home. There is no one jostled on the street; the best seat in a horse-car is promptly given up to the ladies, who never fail gracefully to acknowledgs can gentleman fail to give hls seat tc woman, whether she was richly ol poorly dressed.

CAPTAIN BoYcorT, from whom the term "bcycott" originated, has just died in Ireland aged 55 years. Captain Boycott was land agent in 1881 in Con nemanama section of the county of Mayo, where he collected rents. He made speech in which he urged the people of Ireland to abstain from agrarian crimes and adopt instead the policy of sending harsh landlords, agents and baliffs to "inventory," an old term for boycotting. Events so shaped themselves that he was the first man the Irish experimented on in this connection.
