ANOTHER BONANZA.
A Lost Nine Finsllv Brought
 to Light.

A rich strike has been made in the Mule mOuntains, sixteen miles from Tombstone, or, rather, an abandoned workings has been re located, which gives evidence of being a veri.atls bonsnzs. To this is sttsched 'tO bit of hi,tory. In the year 1872 Ar. J. N. McDonough of this city, located a mine in the Mule mountains which he d"sigostsd ss the "Bla Jack, !" and which pr. missed such alluring re- turns from th. very grass roots that d force of men were put to work and t~o shafts sunk e and D fee. respec- lively, erois cIt.ing at intervals and were inspired to continue their ex- plorations by a eood-nzed ore body and fsbulouly encouraging sssays. Those were the days when Chief Go. ehise was monarch of all he surveyed and the Mules appeared to have . special attraction for the willy old rsprslate; those were the days that tried m ens hsarts ani nervee, and many e brave pioaser has been light cd back to the security Of Fort Hus- chuchs from tho signal lights of Co., chise's rowing b-ig.nds. MT. Nc DeEsush realized that hs hs I good thing in the "Blask Jack" property, but net being able 10 employ an army in his defense, and as the encroAGh
 msat Gf the Indians were becoming more formidab.e each day, he con- cluded that discretion was the better part of valor and, accordingly, aban |. doned Mules to the msrauding wards of our uncle. Removing all the para phanalia of prospecting outfit, the fin ding of the miEe agaln alter the lapse of many years WAS no easy task i; but Mir. McDonough still had hopes, and only last week, while conversiDg s with the writer, fignieed his inten . ton of soon making a search for the ideal of his dream, the "Blsck Jack 2

Interest Should be Required.

Senator Kauffman's bill to secure
the State the benefit of interest on
its balances in bank is likely to be
better supported now than it was
two years ago. 1t will have oppo-
sition of course, but it will hardly be
allowed to die in committee unnotic
ed, as a similar bill did in the last
legislature.
There is an active sentiment for
the measure now which is manifest
ed for the first time. 1t was just as
good a measure to pass it two years
ago as it is now, but it had not then
been much discussed. For several
months now it has been the subject
of pretty general treatment by the
newspapers of the State, and al! that
have ANYTHING to say are warmly in
favor of some legislation thar shall
secure the payment of interest to
the State. If any newspaper of any
party is opposed to hat policy ii
has not given the least indication of
it. All the opinion expressed has
been in behalf of the proposition
which Senator Kaufman has
brought forward.
At present there is from $4,000,
600 to s., 1000, 600 depositedin various
banks of the State. Only the favor
eu banks get this money. The State
gets no interest. Senator Kaufman
proposes to charge banks 2 per cent
for the use of money. This is a
rate low enough. Yet this rate will
yield to the State hundreds of
thousands of dollars every year.
These banks use this money and get
6 per cent for it. The farmers and
people residing in these districts pay
interest to the bank for the money
while the banks pay nothing for the
use of the money. Some banks have
as high as 100000 of the States
money or a clear profit to the bank
of $4,000.
This is an outrage and a law such
as Senator Kaufman proposes
should be enacted.

1t seems very strange and ridicu-
lous to western nations that such an
ingenious, and, in their way, learned
people as the Chinese should be SO
ignorant, not only of western ma.
tions, but of matters Immediately
concerning themselves and their
own country. But what if some day
the Chinese should, as q nation,
awake to what is going on in tho
world? Suppose China's hundreds
of millions Of people were to reor-
ganize after modern methods and,
with drilled armies of millions of
men, set forth on q career of cor.
quest? That specter has more than
once been conjured up by writer's of
fiction, but is there any great i'm.
probability about it, after all? Pos.
sibly it is a good thing for the rest
of the world that China's peaceful
millions know SO little of the great
events and movements of modern
history. Should they set out to
make history also after the modern
fashion some of the western nations
might regret that China had been
awakened from what seems the
charmed sleep of ges.-Chicago In

PrODosed Robbery.

The Andrews investigating com
mittee proposes to present a large
bill for expenses incurred in inves
tigating the municipal affairs of
Philadelphia. The committee in the
first place expected to present a bill
for 100000. The committee had it's
headquarters at Hotel Walton in
PHILADELPHIA and lived like kings and
lords. The State is responsible ter
the payment of actual expense in
cured because the city of Philadel-
phia is chartered by the State. Who
n figure out N expense of $780,
600 for even men at 6 or s sittings
i'll Philadelphia
There are rumors atioat that the
committee has reduced The bill to
$4,000. Even this amount is an
outrageous charge. The actual ex-
penses will not exceed $1,000, but
ever allowing the committee good
pay for their time. The bill should
not be over $4,000. If the Legisla-
ture pays any more than this they
are guilty of helping a steal pure
