Some fellow has tickled the goldbugs
to death by writing an article on the
outrage of not opening the mints to thu
free coinage of pig iron. This modern
goldbug sage asserts that with the free
coinage of pig iron that the price of this
metal would be raised from $3.50 per ton
to $129 per ounce, and the chorus of Wall
street bankers fairly split their sides
with outlaws and rush to printing Of

this article printed for free distribution

BISBEE
A Model Camp Of Four Thousand
Population

At the present time Bisbee, in Cochis :
county, nine miles from the Mexican
border, is the largest, most flouriShinS x
and admirable of the mining camps in
Southern Arizona. There the great Cop
per Queen mines and smelters are To-
Gated, employing over 1000 men con
stantly and furnishing about the whole
support of the town population, directly
or indirectly. The property is owned
by close Eastern corporation which
absolutely refuses to allow its agents
to talk about its business or the output
of the mines. However, the Copper
Queen is known to produce 1000 tons of
copper per month. At 10 cents per pound
this product is worth 100000, or equal
to a total annual product of $2,40O, 600.
Unlike gold and silver, the copper mines
of the United States are confined to three
well-known districts, the Lake Superior
district, the Montana mines and..-thc
Arizona copper fields. The principal
value Of the latter as competitors in the
copper market lies in the fact that thS
ores are relatively rich and easily re-
duced to black copper, being almost ex-
clusively oxidized ores.
Adjoining the great Copper Queen
property at Bisbee is a group Of eight
full claims now being opened UP and
known as
THE COPPER KING

fully duplicate the Copper Queen and

MEXICAN GOLD f L

Claimed the Sonora Region Is Equal to
California.
CITY OF MEXICO, July est is pre-.
dicted here that when the gold glacier
mining is developed in the state of
Guerrero more gold will be taken out
than in the Klondyke region. Some
placer mining is being done with excel
lent results and water is abundant even
in the dry season. One 4liner, an old
Californian, reports taking out 234, 600
i'll gold in May and his average is $l5,.
600 per month. The Indians in Sonora
who work in a crude way in the local
gold placers, only operating when in
pressing need Of money, get large re.
turns for very little labor, and an ex
plorer who has recently been through
the remotest regions states that Sonora
will equal California in its palmiest
days as q gold producer.

the distance is As miles. Both routes

\ Company Of United States
Troops to Be- Sent to
Alaska.
The Expedition to Be Under the
Command of Captain
z. H. Ray,
Who Has a Reputation as q
Leader.--Will Be Well
Outfitted.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The principal
topic of discussion at the cabinet meet
ing was the legal aspect of the proposed
establishment of a military post in
Alaska uear the gold fields. In some
quarters there is doubt as to the power
Of the executive to establish a post
without specific authorization by on
gress, but the weight of opinion ap-
peared to favor the exercise of such a
right by the executive as an emergency
measure. Secretary Alger already has
made the necessary preparations
for carrying out at once
the plans to establish the
post. The commander Of the troops
will be Captain P. H. Ray. a man well
known for his soldierly ability and with
a fine reputation as a leader of expedi-
tons, having established the United
States relief station at Point Barrow,
the farthest north in Alaska. He win.
tered at this exposed and frigid place
and is well acquainted with the wants
of the projected expedition. Captain
Ray at present is at Fort D. A. Russell,
in Wyoming. 1t is probable that he
will be joined in the expedition by Cap
tain Abercrombie, who volunteered by
telegram. It is said he has 60 picked
men for this trip and the department
may avail of these. The post itself will
be established near Circle City.
The North American Transportation
and Trading company has offered to
transport the trops to Alaska and to
land them at their destination for $3.50
per MAJ and $50 per ton for freight.
The steamer will sail from Seattle
on August 5, the latest date that will
ensure the safe arrival of the party at
Circle City before the winter season be-
gins. Orders have been sent to San
Francisco to provide everything neces-
sary in the way Of ample supplies of
food and heavy winter clothing and an
order has been telegraphed to Philadel-
phia to send along a number of tents of
a new description, constructed to keep
out the cold Arctic winds.
