The $7O0 nugget discovered on Big Bug few years ago and which wac purchased and has beeu owned ever since by the Bank of Arizona, is on exhibition in the window ot Geo. H. Cooks jewellery store. The bank has refused an offer of &oOO for this nugget although the actual value of the gold in it is only about $7O0. Klondyke has never produced yet anything to compare with this, the largest one reported from there being worth only about $25O. MT. Cook has . lot of smaller nuggets from Lynx creek and Big Bug on exhibition also surrounding the big one.

Two men arrived at Trinity Center last night from the Integral quick silver mine, about twenty miles northeast of this place, and reported the discovery day before yesterday of 8 ledge of high grade cinnsbar over a hundred feet wide. The ln- tegral is one of the largest quick silver mines on the coast. About four miles from this place is the Gro Fino mine owned by John $. Strowd. Strowd has spent the past forty eight years in this vicinity and has prospected extensively, He says that in his opinion the gold belt that is the head and fountain to all this district lies between the head of the south fork of Scott river and the head of the east fork of the Sal mon river. This region lies within easy reach of this place, is over thirty square miles in extent and has been but little prospected. The 1 wa~l KIOndika of <;affy in Strowd's opinion, and in the estima- ton of most experienced men, l: Coffee creek, every gulch heading into it being rich in the precious metals. John A.

 Klondyke is not the only rich gold fiel1 today.
 It is rumored that John Brock man has sold his interest in the famous Pearce mine, near Wilcox, for one million dollars.
 It is reported in Kingman that White Hills Company has struck sn immense body of water in the Treasure mine, and to clinch the matter an ore body of sufficient magnitude to keep the new forty mill pounding away for 6 year or two has been blocked out. So far all the openings in the big group of mines show ore.-Mohave Miner.
 Reports come to this office of extensive gold placers forty miles easlerly from White Hills, on the Colorado river. The auriferous gravel lies adjacent to the Colorado river and is easily woFked.-Mohsye Miner.

They propose 'o very thoroughly prospect and develop this claim, and if it meets their expectations they will erect stamp mill on it. With the present devel- opment it shows up even better than other properties in that section did with the same amount of develop ment, which are now dividend payers.
 Notwithstanding the Klondyka excitement, and the reports of strikes in various parts of the coun- try, capital is still being invested profitably in mines m this section of Arizona. There are few places in the country where money can be invested in mining properties with less risk than right here, if done judiciously.

 It begins to look now as though Prescott would really have a smelter before long. Phenix hopes the thing may materialize in good shape.

be the first town in the territory to honor our chiefexecutive and let 1t be done on such scale that there will be no mistake about it's genuine ness. Our people have acquired great reputation for their hospital ity and for the royal manner in which they entertain dis tiuguished guests, and the occasion of the governors visit will furnish them an opportunity to add fresh lanrels to their reputation. It is none too early now to make a move in the matter that arrangements may be made to give reception due to the chief executive of our fair territory.
 Tho JoURNAL-MiNER has frequent ly remarked on the probability of the kock Island railway extending its line through Arizona en route to the coast, and short time since re- ported that a railroad man had yis- ited this section for the purpose of looking over the field. 1t now trans pires that the gentleman in question was a representative of the Rock Island company. Speaking of the probabilities of the construction of such a road, the Yuma Sun says: "The Sun has recently received ad- vices from the east that the Rock Island people have under consider ation the extension, in the near fC- ture, of their road to San Diego. From their western terminus it is proposed to reach the coast by way of old Fort Defiance and Prescott. through the Santa Maria and Bi Williams Fork countries, down the Colorado via Picacho and Fort Yuma to San Diego. The road will tap one of the richest undeveloped mineral sections in the United States, and it's good to Arizona ter ritory and Yuma county in particu- lar cannot be computed"
 Governor McC0rd has sent a com munication to the board of equali- zation now in session in Phenix, in  which he calls the attention of that body to a very important matter, in which he says: "For the last few years, and 1 am not sure but fol many years, the expenses of the territory have been greater than its | income. This has resulted in issu ing territorial warrants, for which there were no funds or appropria tions. These warrants drew interest at the rate of 10 per cent per annun and even bearing this high rate o interest nave been known to sell al a discount To meet the payment of these warrants and maintain tn, credit of the territory, bonds bear ing five per cent interest have beer issued. and more will have to b, issued. Any system of taxation that does not furnish sufficien revenue to meet the needs of tn, government honestly and economic ally administered, is radically wrong and should be changed. Just wha the remedy is, am not prepared tC say. I think it is plain, however that the deficit comes principalll from all under valuation of tn, property of the territory, and th' escape of large amount of property from taxation through the careless ness of the county assessors or other wise.

LONDON. Oct 1S-Edward Langtry,
the husband OF Lily Langtry, the ac-
tress, died last night in the asylum for
recently been committed by magis-
trate after he had been found wand
ering and helpless.
Edward Langtry and Emile Char
lotte LIE Breton were married about
twenty-five years ago.
The bride was even then known as
the Jersey Lily" being a native of
the Island of Jersey, where she was
born in 1853. Her father, Dean LIE
Breton, was once said to be the hand
soonest man in England. He was COM
paratively poor, while Mr.. Langtry
was comparatively rich. Therefore
the Lily" was considered to have
made q remarkably good match. Mr..
Langtry was about twelve years her
senior.
Mrs. Langtry graduated from So
ciety to the stage, and her subsequent
career is matter of histrionic history.
Sepal ton and several divorce suits
followed, but not until the current
year was q decree obtained, Cali
fornia court granting it. Mr.. Langtry
denied the jurisdiction and insisted
that Mrs. Langtry could not be mar
ried again. 1t was rumored that she
was about to become the wife of Prince
Esterhazy of Austria, to whom, it is
now rumored, she has since been
welded.
While Mr.. Langtry was dying his
former wife was winning the Care
witch stakes and receiving the atten-
tions of the Prince of Wales, the Duke
of Cambridge and other aristocrats at
Newman ket.

The Maryland Leader Ready to Retire
in the Interest of Party Harmony.
BALTIMORE, Md, Oct 15.-United
States Senator German yesterday is
sued an open letter to Edwin F. Abel,
publisher of the Baltimore Sur, in
which he offers to relinquish the lead
ership of the Democracy in Maryland,
providing Mr.. Abell will accept it and
support the Democratic ticket in the
coming state and legislative cam
paign. He also intlmates that he will
forego his ambition to succeed himself
in the United States Senate if it can
be shown that such a step is neces-
sary to Democratic success
The letter, which is a very long one,
reviews the course of the Sun in it's
opposition to Mr.. German, because of
his views upon civil service, tariff and
ballot reform measures. TO all the
charges made against him upon this
score, Mr.. German pleads guilty, but
quotes the Sun as having admitted
that such questions were largely mat
ters of opinion, and asserts that every
man is free to think as he pleases re-
garding them. He defends his course
in regard to all these questions.
Mr.. Abel declined to say what
course he would pursue in the matter,
or to express any opinion concerning
the letter, which appears in the Sun
as a paid advertisement.

PANIC IN A THEATER.
Three Dead and Thirty Three Injured
The Doma FRlIs In.


The Dome Falls In.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct ls.-About
$50 o'clock last night, as the perform
ance at Robinson's opera house began.
the plastering began to fail from the
center of the dome ceiling. forty or
fifty feet above the heads of the peo-
pie seated in the parquette. This con-
tinued three minutes, causing q rush
out of the house. The house and the
galleries were partly empiied, when
the dome in the center of The roof,
with its supporting timbers and truss
es, came tumbling dowE- This ex-
tended clear across the opera house,
and was about thirty feet wide. When
it fell, the ends of it struck either side
of the gallery, crushing it, and scat
tering tim Der in every direction and
landing in the center of the parquette.
Scarcely any body was hurt in the gal
lery, and nobody was hurt in the bal
cony or dress circles There were
very few in the gallery at the time.
The injured are those who had not yet
escaped from the parquette.
There are three dead, and thirty
three more or less seriously injured
are at the Cincinnati hospital, while
many suffered slight injuries but were
able to go to their homes.
The theater was built over twenty
five years ago, and the accident was
caused by the rotting of the wooden
trusses which held the roof
The disaster recalls forcibly more
fearful one which took place in the
same building in February. 1876, when
score of children lost their lives
