Sir Walter Besant finds he cannot do
more than 1000 words day. 1t takes
him 10 months to complete q long novel
Of about lS0 0O0 words.
Conan Doyle says he thinks from 1900
to 1000 words day is good work. He
never takes more than one contrast at "a
time and allows himself plenty Of extra
time for the "off days" of which he
claims he has moro than his rightful
share.
Max Pemberton says the idea Of doing
6O00 words "A day Is perfectly appalling.
He never wrote more than 200O in one
day in mis- life. and regretted that. His
average days work is four hours and he
may write 500 words in that time.
John Strange Writer says the largest
years work she ever did counted up
437, 700 words. A comfortable years
work Is about half that TIE largest
days work she ever did was ll,0O0 words

grapher. If in tho mood she can DO 5000

to consider his work in relation to time
and speed. 1t took him nine months to
write 1.-The Deemster" hut he had
thought about it for year. He rewrote
1.-THE Scapegoat" two or three times com

The old town of Wickeuburg, one of the oldest mining camps in tho territory, and formerly one of tho lIyelisst, but which for years has remained m a condition of inocuous desuetude, Is again on the up grade of prosperity, and, and should devel. opments continue in the future. as the have in the past few months, it will not be long until 1t takes its rank among the foremost and most prosperous in the territory. The construction of the $. F., r. X r. railroad has given a wonderful im- petus to the miaing industry of that section, aud just now the mining industry IS giving an impetua to railroad traffic. It is stated that the recent purchasers of the old Vulture
 mine. property which has pro- duced over a million dollars, but which has practically lain idle for several years, will soon put force of men st work on it again, and miners who are familiar with this property confidently expect that if II IS properly worked and prospected that it will yield richer returns in the future than it has done in the past.
 Two cyanide plants are running in the vicinity on tailings from this mine, each of which, it is said, has produced away up in the thousands of dollars during the past year. Parties are negotiating for the pur- chase or lease, on a royalty, of from
 100000 to 100000 tons more of tail ing stored at the mine, and if sue cessful, another cyanide plant will be added.
 R. Toohey, the we'll known con- tractor, of PheniX, is working the Bismarck and Excelsior claims, which are said to be very rich. They are about % miles from Wickenbure. He recently made an experimental shipment of ore from his claims, of one ear load to Pueblo and one to Fl Paso, to determine which was the most advantageous point for ship ment, and as soon as he gets his re- turns, he expects 10 ship a car load daily.
 R, c. Humphreys, of Globe, and one of the largest individual mine owners there, has an immensely 1 rich and pretty we'll developed claim near Vulture Siding, on the $. F., P. X F. road, and expects to commence regular shipments soon of three car loads of ore week.
 K. A. Roberts is another claim | owner in the vicinity of Wickenburg, who expects to be able to ship three car load a week. He make his first shipment this week.
 Eastern parties have recently pur- chased three fine properties near Wickenburg, and each of them ex- D. e to commence operations iE the developments of the purchases at an early date.
 In addition to the above more operations in that vici- nity, there are a number of other individual claim owners who are their properties and the outlook has not been as good for years as it is at the present time in the vicinity of the old town on the banks of the Hassayampa.

KArHEK PEssIMIsrI..

Our contemporary seems to be in very pessimistic mood this morn ing, judging from the tone of au artlcle referring to the inauguration of President Mckinley today. Sc decidedly pessimistic is said article that it contains some assertion: which are neither literally, or metaphorically correct. For instance We find the following;
 From the day his election was assured to the present time, ha: been one of the most calamitous periods of time in the history of this nation"
 While times have been rather 'corky" during the period men tioned, and while numher of banks and some mercantile establishments have failed, the record does not nearly approach the period of a year immediately succeeding the election of Grover Cleveland as president. Again it says:
 "His election, we were told, would restore confidence, and that conf dence would cause the turning loose of timid capital, which had fled from the channels of commerce. into the vaults of money kings. Those who thus based their predictions on the restored confidence idea have proven terribly false"
 While not denying that there is considerable truth in the &bove, the predictions in regard to good times were certainly not more roseate than those made by democratic orators and democratic papers n 1892, when farmers were promised $1.00 per bushel for their wheat and other things were to be in propor- ton, promises which, during Mir. Cleveland's administration of ioar years, have remained unfulfilled
 But depressed as the times have been during the past few mon hs, they have shown signs of improye- ment over those existing during the past few years. Manufacturing es- tablishments which had lain idle for months, have resumed operations, and capital is cautiously seeking investment.
 President Mckinley was inaugu- rated as president today. We will see what the future will produce. Should the prophecy of better times fail to materialize, one thing is almost absolutely certain, they can not be no worse than during the last four years of democratic rule.
 The JoURNAL-MINER takes an oP- timistic view of the future. and conscientiously predicts that the next few years will witness unex- ampled prosperity in the United States. This is simply an opinion, based on the faith of the exercise of wisdom and good judgment of those who will conduct the destiny of the nation during that period. Time will demonstrate the correctness or the error of such an opinion.
