IN E.nensixe Cork.

Springfield IMass.) Republican,.
1t is a rather expensive cork which has
been driven into the Santiago bottle, though
worth where it is many times more than
the cost. The Merrimac was one of the
largest GOLFERS in the naval service and cost
the government s342, 900. Something like
$4,000 or $4,000 worth of coal went down
with her, besides. 1t is stated in naval cir
Giles, however. that the Merrimac was a
partially wrecked vessel which had been
fixed over before being offered to the gov
ernment. and was not worth one-half what
the government paid for her. The auxiliary
vessels board refused to a price
OF more than $3.50. 900 for the ship, but the
owners, by appealing directly to the Navy
department. managed to get SS42, 600. 1t
seems to have been a pretty good disposal
of q bad bargain

The board of trade of Little Rock,
Ark, has petitioned the governor to APP
ply for an injunction restraining the
people of Kansas and Colorado from
using the water of the Arkansas river
for irrigation purposes. The excuse for
this action is the allegation that this use
of the water for irrigation has changed
the river from a %navigable one to one
not navigable ut Little Rock, and in.
creases the danger from overflow at Ger.
tain seasons of the year. On the same
principle the people of Omaha might
ask that the Montana miners be denied
the right to use the water of the Mis-.
souri, river for mining purposes. Our
Arkansas friends seem to be stretching
the injunction theory.

In defense of the selection of Bryan as
colonel of a Nebraska regiment it is urged
that Roosevelt has had quite as little mil

it, is precisely the reason that Roosevelt
selected a man of military experience to be
colonel of the rough riders and will go with
them himself as lieutenant colonel.

Threatened Invasion,

The expected is happening if reports
which have apparent reliability are
true. The threats that an attack from
Spanish sympathizers might occur
from across the line are actually as
suming shape and preparations being
made to carry them into effect, says
the Prospector.
Word has been received that Span
iards and Mexicans are organizing near
Frontreras all we'll armed and are, with
out doubt, contemplating some raid
across the line When they are likely
to make move is not known, but con-
sidera BILE apprehension is felt all along
the border and Nogales and Bisbee are
becoming alarmed. Fifty stands of
arms have been sent to Nogales' citi-
zens already by Gov. McCord and the
militia are in readiness there, while at
Bisbee it is reported Gov. McCord has
been asked to send some arms there to
protect the town.
The Mexican government has been
notified and President Diaz, in antici-
patton, has been stationing troops on
the border to prevent any such move.
This may put quietus on the raiders
and the fact that preparations are be-
ing made on this side also for their re-
ception, may have the effect of cooling
their ardor. It is well to be prepared,

The Wealth of Arizona.

Arizona is one of the most law abid-
ng regions of the entire country. Life
is as safe in the territory as it is in the
cities of New York or Chicago. The
infractions of the law are less in Ari-
zona in proportion to the population
than in either of these cities. More
robberies and deeds of violence are
committed in the large cities of the
east in proportion to population than
in Arizona The telegraphio reports of
crimes committed in the territory do
an injustice. The people are intelli-
gent and progressive, and have some of
the largest and most wealthy mines in
the world. One mine is commonly re-
ported to be worth $50,00O,000 and an
other is quoted at $30,000,000. There
are many smaller properties that range
from $6,0OO,000 or 100000 down. The
school system is not surpassed in the
United States. No expense is spared
to make the schools fulfill their pur-
pose in the highest degree. The total
enrolment in the common schools is
1882, with 324 teachers.-Mining and

The most important event of the war
during the week has been the victory
won by Commodore Dewey over the
Spanish forts and feet in the harbor at
Manila. Manila was a we'll fortified
place. The Spaniards thought it i'm
pregnable, and supported, as it was, by
thirteen naval vessels, they thought to
gain decisive victory. Enstead, it took
the gallant Dewey and the brave off,
GERS and sailors under him, just one
hundred minutes to silence the forts,
demolish the navy and place the island
under the stars and stripes.
The Nashville succeeded in captur-
ing steamer with twenty-nine Span
ish officers and important dispatches
to Gen. Blanco on board.
The War Department is Fastening
preparations to invade Cuba. It ap-
pears to be the intention Of the Gov
ernment to take Havana with land
force. It was with that purpose in view
that forts protecting Matanzas we're
destroyed. They will use that port as
base of supplies for the invading
army.
Orders have gone to San Francisco
from the Navy Department to charter
two fast steamers, load them with coal
and dispatch them to Commodore Dew
ey at Manila.
According to telegraphic reports
some of the European powers look on
the capture of the PHILIPPINE Islands
with considerable disquietude. They
claim the United States is extending
her operations too far east. A possible
alliance between Russia, France, Ger
many, Austria and Spain is hinted at.
In that event the United States, Eng
land and Japan will be arrayed against
the balance of the world.
Who can tell when or how this war
will terminate?

A Lost Gold Nine.
Winslow, April 80, 1898.

A dispatch from Ell Paso, Texas, says:
A sensation has been started here by
the arrival from Chuichuhua, village
in the heart of the Sierra Madre noun
tains, Mexico, Of j. Newton Fowler with
the news of the discovery by himself
of the famous lost gold mine of Tiora.
The discovery was made on the evening
of April 9Th in deep narrow canyon,
through which runs the Rio Chico, a
tributary Of the Aras River.
Mr. Fowler, while chasing wounded
deer, came across the ruins of three
arastras and on investigating discov-
cred a stone wall enclosing an open
ing. Cutting through the wall, an old
mining shaft was displayed and at the
mouth were number Of crude old
mining implements, and going down
the shaft a few feet some very rich
specimens of gold were found.
If this is the old TioJa mine, as is
firmly believed, Mr.. Fowler and his as
sociates will receive $4,000 in gold
from the Mexican government, a stand
ing reward offered for the discovery of
the mine.

The above paragraph is wholesale
libel on as brave, courteous and intel.
ligent class of men as is to be found

them, as rule, hospitable and liberal

ing hand to the weak or needy. And
in point of intelligence they will com
pare favorably with any other class of
like numbers to be found anywhere in
the United States. They may not pos,
sess the polish and effrontery of the
empty headed drawing-room dandy,
but they have an abundance of natural
wit and good, hard, horse sense. AS to
courage, they are Injured to life Of
hardship and danger. They run risks
every day they are on the range that
the writer of the above paragraph could
not be induced to take. Their daily life
teaches them self-reliance and GOODNESS

The Tucson Star says: "That was a

McCord in granting permission to F.
G.. Hughes to visit his home to join his
wife and family in sorrowing over the
affliction which has befallen them in
the death of their little son, Richard
Bland, who died Sunday last. There
was no law, or rule, perhaps, which pro-
vides for such an act, save the law
which controls the generous heart and
mind of those who are ever ready to do
good, where opportunity permits. Mr..
Hughes and his family indeed have the
sympathy of this community in their
bereavement, as we'll as in their other

kindness which permitted father and

remains of his son, is one which will
not soon be forgotten.

We met, we loved, we parted,
We both wed out of line;
we both have had our SORROWS,
That naught can heal but time.

Your question logic needs;
Can true hearts ever love but once?

And time can never change true love,
I'll love her till the last.
As a maiden she was charming,
Or at least seemed so to me;
AS a widow she's bewitching,
As the mermaids of the sea.
As girl she took my fancy,
Yesl she even reached my, heart;
AS widow she's surprising,
And I'm pierced by cupid's dart.

[ wonder what I'd see?
Do the streamlets run together,
That watts both her and me?
When I write my true love verses,
Will she be the magic spell;
That will set them to sweet music?
That, God alone can tell.
Let US lean on God for guidance,
AS he doeth all things well;
And listen to His wee small voice,
And on His truth to dwell;
Like Jesus say "thy will be done,"
And not this will of mine;
And love and pray, both night and

California and Colorado mining men
readily recognize good mineral coun-
try when they see it, and for some time
the fact has been quite noticeable that
large numbers of the more practical
and energetic mining men of these two
states have been seeking investments
in New Mexico, Arizona, Chihuahua
and Sonora. It is encouraging to note
also, that these investors have been
very generally successful in their ven-
lures. It fact it could hardly have
turned out otherwise, where such prac-
tical mining men sought investments
in regions so rich in mineral resources.

The Lordshurg Liberal says the cat
tie buyers haveall left the country, and
some of them who have been making
contracts for April deliveries are ask
ing for an extension of time. It is re-
ported that the banks are refusing to
advance money to cattle buyers; and
that many of them will have to lose the
forfeit money they have put up, all on
account of the war scare. Why this is
thus is one of the mysteries of bank
ing. Ordinarily it would seem that
war scare would advance the price of
provisions and that if cattle were good
for loan few weeks ago they ought
to be better security now that war ex-
lists.
