MINING INTELLIGENCE
uour TIE CONFERENCE.-THE.

ABOUT THE GovERNoRsBIr.
 "There seems to have risen vary grave legal question as to whether Arizona has any legal governor at all nov. Mr. McCord has not com piled with the law; there is no law making Mir. Akers goyernoT and Governor Franklin has been relieved by order of the secretary of tho in terior, while his commissian requires him to continue til his successor Is :" duly qualified" Ono thing is cer- tain, which is that till Mr. MeCord arrives aud qualities any act of the governors office will be matter of legal question. -Phenix Herald.
 Tho above is a sample of a whole lot of silly scribbling which has ap peared in the Phenix papers about the goyernorship. One would think from the amount of talk indulged in there that the present conditions had neyer existed in the territory before. When Governor Wollley tendered bis resignation there was an inter regnum of about months during which Secretary \. Q. Mur- phy was acting governor and no official act of his was ever ques toned. The governors salary for that period lapsed and was turned back into the treasury Under a ruling of the government no official drawing n salary from tho govern ment will be allowed compensation for services in any other capacity. While Secretary Murphy performed the duties of his own office, as well as that of governor, he could not draw any salary for the latter ser vices.
 Similar conditions to those ex- isting now occurred when Cover nor Hughes was removed. Secre- iary Bruce was authorized 10 take charge of tho governors office and perform the duties thereof pending the arrival of Governor Ffaakliu's commission and his beiug sworn in.
 No man eau be governor in fact except he has been appointed and commissioned to that position and sworn in as such. Hence a secre- tary, during tho absence of the gov srnor from the territory, as we'll as during an interim between goyer- uors, becomes acting governor. This is all there is to the situation.

PennSylvania Is in the field now with a gold excitement. A recent telegram from Altoona says: Rich gold finds have been made at what is known as the English settlement, near Tltusyilie. 1 few weeks ago r. Steinmetz. a mining expert. from Denver, came to tho region under contract with local capitalists to make an inspection of the field. As a result for his labors gold-hearing quartz of workable yalus has been found in large quantities. Some of the quartz assays as high as Sl, 900 ton. The announcement has era ated big stir and rush is already on to secure tho best claims. Those who have been quietly making tho investigations have already leased nearly all the land in that vicinity This is the first discovery of gold in Pennsylvania sufficiently rich to warrant working it.

BARsrog, Cal, July 2. Special. | A fire started in Gallagher's saloon here. At an early hour this morning and burned out two or three saloons, a Chinese restaurant, barber shop, tho postal telegraph company's office aud two or three vacant buildings The railroad de- pot and Harvey eating house were only saved by the heroic efforts of the railroad men.
 An Alaska Freight Biaekade.
 PoRr TOWNSEND, July 26.-The steamer City of Topeka arrived from Alaska this morning with ad- vices to the effect shat the Clondyke fever is on the increase in Juneau. Authentic reports from Dyea says that enough fra;ght is already piled up at the head of tha inlet as the Indians can pack over the divide in the next eighteen months, and this amount of lroi sht will be doubled when the steamers Queen and Mexi- co arrive. This practically pro cludes the possibility of hundreds of gold seekers reaching the mines this year Frank F. Myers, the Juneau newspaper man, will follow the route taken by Lieut.. Schwat- ka's party in 1889 from Takou in- let thirty miles south of Juneau over level ground l30 miles to Lake Teslin. This route is sad by those who have been over both to be moro easily accessible than over Chilcoot pass. It Is probable that a stage line will soon be operated oyer this route.

A healthy baby is the real jewel for which
the wedding ring is only the setting.
There Is no place in Natures economy for
a childless marriage. Welded couplee that
are childless are never truly married. A
baby is the tie that binds. The baby Is the
pledge that makes husband and wife one in
nature and in fact, and that teaches mutual
selfsacrfce and sympathy Thousands of
couples are childless because Of the wife S
neglect Of her health as a woman. Too few
women fully appreciate the importance of
Keeping healthy and vigorous the organs
upon which motherhood is dependent. As
q consequence, they are weak where they
should be strong. and motherhood is either

TnE DUCHESS OF MARLBoRoUGH.-

TIE DUCHESS or MARLBOROUGH
Consuelo, the Duchess of Marlborough,
has been included In the list OF women
OF title recommended by the Prime
Minister to Queen Victoria for the deco
ration Of the new Royal Victorian Or
der, in connection with the celebration
Of the jubilee.
The Royal Victorian Order was
created by Queen Victoria this year to
enable her to honor persons whose
special claims to recognition would not
render them eligible under the strict
rules applying to the elder orders.
The Queens personal decision is ab
solute, and there is no doubt that the
Duchess of Marlborough's name ba-
been recommended to her on the ground
that the conferring of this distinction
would be gracious compliment to the
American women, whose beauty and
whose daughters have done 80 much
for London society and the British
aristocracy. m
The recipients Of jubilee honors will
be announced either on Jubilee day or
the day before. Festivities on splen-
did scale are being organized at Blen-
helm Palace in ooInmemoration OF the
Jubilee, and the probabilities all point
10 the recommendation OF Lord Sails
bury for the decoration of the Duchess
being acceded to by the Queen.
