When the oil bearing stratas Of Co
chise. county, which give every indica-
tion Of carrying oil, are developed,
valua ble industry will be easily estab-
lished and it would not be boasting to
expect to see region here develop as
extensive field as that of Los Angeles.
All that is necessary to demonstrate
the theory is the sinking of a well to a
greater depth than where the first oil
indications were struck. This has not
been done thus far owing to INSULT
cient appliances to prosecute further
explorations. That oil exists here is
undisputed, and will only be matter
of time when it will be tapped and
brought to the surface.-Tom bstone

A couple of sports were run out oil
Pearce last Friday night. They struck
the town Thursday night and proceed
ed to open faro game in the saloon OF
Ed Brown. It was not long until good
crowd were grouped about the table
looking for the lucky card. The game
was run Thursday night and the two
partners succeeded in winning a goodly
amount of the miners hard earned
cash and no one suspected them of
playing unfairly. The next night, how
ever, mouse was smelled' and the
crowd soon learned they were being
swindled. It did not take them long
then to surround the two gam blers,
and they proceeded to take possession
of all the casa in sight, which was di-
vided up amongst the Losers, and the
sports were given but few minutes
to get out of town. They did not need
a second invitation and "vanosed'' i'm
mediately without kick. 1t was said
that they we're lucky to get off SO east

persuasion to have caused the angry
crowd to ''string them up."-Tucson

Sume Stubborn Facts.

Our usually calm and sensible con-
temporary, the Republican, OF. Spring
field, Massachusetts,, starts new theo-
ry about the lynchings in the south and
the crime which provokes them. The
trouble, it says, is divine judgment
upon those through whom this Of
tense Of negro Importation and servi-
tude came" It is, we believe, the the
ory of New England theology that all
calamities are "visit.tions of Provi-
dence." IL men are prosperous and
happy it is the result of their cwn ef-
forts or tariff bill But il. misfortune
comes il is visitation Of Providence,
a. if beneficent Providence never Wis
its mankind but to bring woe and ca
lamity. If Providence is to be charged
with the crimes wrought by the evil
passions of lawless negroes, then the
punishment, according to our IDEAS of
justice, should be visited upon the
guilty. The importation of negroes
from their native African jungles was
in no way the work of the south. 1t
was almost exclusively New England
industry The New England philan-
thropists for many years were engaged
in the manufacture of rum, which they
sent to Africa. TO be exchanged for
slaves. Cotton Mather, of Boston, we
believe it was, urged that William Penn
and his colony of Quakers should be
waylaid by Massachusetts vessels and
sold as slaves to West Indian planters.
This would not only be doing God SER
vice, he declared, but would. be great
gain to his servants in New England.
But it is fact of more modern history
that nearly all the vessels engaged in
the slave trade from this country. were
built and manned in New England.
After all, when we compare the condi-
tion of the negro race in America with
the horrible degradation Of the same
race left in their native land, we may
we'll doubt whether any great crime has
been committed by our New England
or our southern brethren in rescuing
them from heathenism and barbarism
and christianizing and civilizing tAem.
Would any intelligent member of the
negro race, would any reasonable being
who. has any manner of~,sympathy for
that race desire to have it all undone
and the eight or ten million colored
Christians in this land suddenly trans
formed into naked sayages in the Afri-
can jungles? All this cant and hypoc-
risy about the "woe unto the world be-
cause of. ,offensea,: and. that the south
is suffering for the crime of<slavery Is
wearisome. There are to-day thousands
Of white laborers in the northern states
more oppressed and worse treated and
more unhappy and needy than ever
were the slaves in the south.-Balti-

When a man abroad desires to gain
information about a given locality, he
sends for a few sample copies of the

local news to points where it will do
the most good is to give it first to the

The Albuquerque Democrat says:
"The most disgusting spectacle ever
witnessed in American politics has just
passed into history in Ohio, where Han
ma exhibited Mckinley for the purpose
of aiding in his senatorial fight. When
ever an ovation was given Mckinley as
president of the United States, Hanna
always wedged himself in and accept
ed at least half of it as belonging to
himself. He followed that course
through the Grand Army yencampment.
Although he has nota record of having
even had a substit ate is the army, Com-
rade Hanna attended all the camp fires
with Mckinley, and when the old SOL
diers cheered the president, who was
gallant volunteer soldier, Mark Hanna
stood and bowed his thanks, just as
though it was all intended for him. He
followed the same course at Columbus
and elsewhere, and was only checked
in his career when the citizens of Akron
gave out the information cold that,
while they wanted to pay respects to
chief MAGISTRATE, they would do noth=
ing unless it we're distinctly understood
that Hanna kept in the ack-ground."
