action of the county convention

prise readily forms its opinion
in the premises-and to a grea,
extent that opinion is based up.
on the fact that the iron and
railroad corporations controlled
alike the county and Legislative
conventions, and we opine that
the evident attempt to make
peace between the republican
ringmasters and the Phillstines
will fall far short of that success
desired.

One of the several CORES

1.-The Mountain Iron mine has

Being carefully calculated upon
how and the operators of Mesaba
mines who see furthest ahead
are among the men who. believe
chat some sort of an agreement
to maintain living prices will be
required next year. If it were
really the plan of the Rockefel-
Ter people to crush the independ
ent mines, the crushing could be
accomplished, even with q re-:
duction:in rail freights, unless
some agreement to maintain fair
prices is secured. That it is not
the object of the Rockefeller
people to crush competition may
be difficult of belief to some of
the unfortunates who are tangled
up in unproitable mining deals;
but such is the fact. Mr.. Rock.
efelIer is merely in the field to
make as much money as possible
out of his mines, his railroad and
his feet of steamers. An in.
crease in Mesaba ore prices to
an equable figure would help
him in many ways. It would
add to the profits on his own ore.
1t would help the other mine
owners, and, as they ship their
ore over his road, it would help
him by helping them. It would
also be apt to help lake freights,
though this latter contingency is
not assured, and Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter personally owns one of the
greatest fleets now sailing upon
either fresh or salt water-all
engaged, in the carrying of iron
ore. If the operators of indie

Me Laughlin been Investigating affairs in the neighborhood of Tuba City for the past ten day.

Major Williams has conducted affairs at the agency in satisfic ory manoer both to the Interior department and the for peace with Spain is favorable that the order made ut his request to join his regiment may be revoked.

Mills of the Arizona Lumber and Timber Co. Reduced to Ashes.
Loss Estimated at Between S65,OOO and
 7o,OOo-Insurance S25,OOO.

Fire broke out from the roof of the Arizona Lumber and Timber Co.'S mill Tuesday afternoon about 3 o'clock. The flames had gained such headway whea discovered that hope of exiting. uishing them was very soon abandoned an1 the whole effort of the people was dire.Ced toward preventing, as far as possible, the spreading O. the fire.
 Every man in Milton and several hundred men from Flagstaff, including the fire departments of both places, worked earnestly and regardless of the blistering heat to save property of the mill company, and by their efforts many thousands of dollars worth of lumber was saved. The wind was blow ing lightly from the south-which was favorable to the prevention of the spread of the fire to the main lumber yard and to the office and stcre build ing of the company.
 Notwithstanding the energetic work in fighting the fire, however, the flames took everything before them in the di- rection the wind was blowing, and logs, lumber, shingles, etc., fed the lurid el- ement for many hours. Indeed it was late Wednesday morning before the work of destruction ceased.
 The loss to the Arizona Lumber and Timber Company while heavy is by nc means crushing. The company will immediately commence the reconstruc. tion Of plant equal if not superior in capacity and character of machinery to the old mills.
 The loss of the company is estimated at between Sj5, ,O00 and &7O.OOO. and the insurance amounts to S25,OOO.

Card From the Mill Company.

We desire to express to the citizens of Flagstaff our hearty appreciation of the earnest efforts put forth by them in the endeavor to save our property at the burning of the mill on last Tues day. The good will and hearty pur- peso exhibited by everyone has been the one redeeming feature in the ca lamity that has befallen us: and this means is taken to express our grati- tude which it is impossible to make known in any other manner.
