THE TWO EXTREMES.

In the current boiler plate literature of the day some one has said that the difference between an optimlst ana pessimist is that one believes in mas cots and the other in hoodoos. There is a substantial vein of philosophy running through the idea when applied to the mining industry. The searcher after the precious metals is often gift ed with chronic attack of optimism or pessimism, as the case may be, and a job-lot of mascots or hOodoos exer else a powerful influence over his ca reer.
 some way he will strike it rich" leads some way he viii strike ti rich leads the optimist prospector into years Of fruitless effort. He has feeling with in him. developed by certain indica tions interpreted to his advantage, that instinct will finally do for him what judgment has failed to do-drive his pick into a rich pocket of ore. He lives a life of hopeful happiness which hardsbps never cloud. There is to him sn undiscovered country, boun- tiful beautiful, brilliant bonanza, and though he may never pass it's boun- dsries and welcome the crown of wealth that ever hangs suspended over his career, he p1ods merrily along to the last mile post in his history and dies lamenting only the fact that he has not been his discoveries blossom into the successes yet in store for them.
 With the pessimistic prospector it is different His hoodoo trots along in advance of his efforts, and he can never get even tail hold on hard luck Wherever he goes his noodoo is there first. If he strikes good prospect it ought to have been bet ter one-if he gets rich his successes came too late He dies feeling that a hoodoo will camp on his tombstone and wither the flowers contributed to his memory.-Western Mining World.

FAMOUS ROCKS OF THE WORLD
Corea's Floating Stone One of the
 Greatest Curiosities.

The floating stone of Corea IS great natural wonder. It is of great bulk and shaped like an irregular cuie. To all appearance it is resting upon the ground and totally free from support on any side. If two men standing at opposite ends hold each the opposite end of a thread they will be al.le to pass the thread under the stone with out encountering any obstacle. The natives consider this stone as one of their greatest national possessions, and at one time it was an object of adOratiOn and was consulted as an or acle. and even now it has temple erected in its honor. known as the temple of Fon Shin Mino, or The Temple of the God of Mystery
 On account of their great size the Stones of Baalbec" are world-re- nOwned, and it is asserted that the largest quarried stones in the world are set in place in the city walls of Baalbec. Several of them are fifty nine feet long, with 12x12 feet section, and that one now in quarry near the city, hewn on three sides. measures sixty-nine feet in length and twelve feet ten inches by thirteen feet three inches in section. These dilnens; ;ons are wonderful, and the moving of these stones to place them in the walls must have taxed the ingenuity of the old builders to the utmost.
 While this is all very wonderful. yet there exists in the town of St. Emil ion, near Bordeaux, France. whole church carved out of single rock, of an early RomanesQue character. It was carved some time during the elev- enth century, but the exact date is un- known. It is 115 feet long by eighty feet wide, and consists of three paral- Tel aisles, or, rather, a nave Os two aisles, with plain, barrel-shaped vaults and with transverse vaults or openings, and round arches on massive square piers. Whether this was intended for a chapter house or a sepulchral chapel is undecided.
 'The Stone of Destiny" that has had such a checkered career, is another of the notable stones. Some writers trace this stone all the way back to Jacob. and aver that it is the identical stone which he set up in Bethel after his dream of the ladder and the angels. It is stated that at the captivity of the Jews the stone was carried to Spain by the prophet Jeremiah, wEc escaped to that country with two of the uaugh- ters of the captive king. mere for nearly 1000 years the stone remained and was part of the royal outfit at Tara, and was known as the stone ot Tara for many generations Tradi- tion endowed this stone with many
 wonderful qualities while owned by the Irish royal family. The stOEe, it is stated, was carried to Scotlan1 l. s.:i for several centuries the Scottish kings were crowned over it. It was then

WATCH THE ARIZONA MINES.

In Colorado Cripple Creek was over looked for half a century. There is a similar section in Arizona that is be- ginning to attract the attention or prospectors and capitalists. It is rich in gold, but development has been re- tarded because of a lack of transpor- tation facilities. With transportation and capital, the section of country lying east of Ehrenberg for distance of thirty-five miles, in the Dome Rock and Plomoso mountain ranges, espec- ially the latter, will some day become one of the great gold producing sec tions of the world. It is one of the richest gold districts in Arizona. It is here that gold was taken out in such great quantities during the California excitement At this time the surface placers were dry washed, and such ore was dug out as could easily be aras- traed. All through this section are veins of quartz carrying free gold. There are also a number of rich gulches in which there is a rich flow of gold, but which being dry, have never had their values disturbed. These invite a closer and more scientific in vestigation from the progressive min Ing mdu anu tue CdpltoiiSt tudu AdS been given. The indications for good returns on investments are as well grounded as in any section of the west. This territory is just beginning to open up it's wealth of mineral to the world, and as in Cripple Creek, those who have the means and business fore sight to be early on the ground will receive the plums. It is nearer and richer than Klondyke and more worthy of attention. Those who would rather work the mines they have than flee to others that they know not of will do well to watch this part of Arizona Mining and Industrial Reporter.

 Brown Bros, Harlet & Scott have opened up a splendid body of silver gold ore in the Lone Star mine, Min eral Park. The ore was found in the hanging wall, only a few feet from the old workings.
 Bob Kerr made new strike about eight miles south of w. F. Frost's place, near Wallapai Springs, last week. Samples of the ores, taken from the surface of the discovery, gave returns of 40 per cent of lead, $10 gold and sixty-five ounces Of silver.

 S. J. Miller and B. NJ Legg of this city have been at work for some time devloping group of five copper claims on the divide between Ash and Mill ler's canyons in the Huachucas. They have opened up quite large sized body of glance ore similar to that which has made the Salvation camp famous. A sample of ore weighing about 150 pounds was taken to Tucson Tuesday by Mir. Legg, who will short ly go east to induce capitalists to take hold of the claims. That section oi the Hutchucas has always attracted the attention of miners and prospect ors, and will some day be one of the most flourishing parts of Cochise county. The Copper and Gold Quartz Mining company has some claims in that vicinity and is doing some devel- opment work on them.

known as the Stone of Scone," Scone abbey being the place in which 1t was kept. From this point on the history of the stone may be considered per fectly accurate. It was there incased in wooden chair and stood by cross in the eastern part of the monastic cemetery, on or beside the 'MoInt of Belief" which still exists. In 1t or upon it the kings of Scotland were placed by the earls of Fife. From its presence Scone became the principal place in Scotland, and Scotland the kingdom of Scone, and, hence, ;or many generations, Perth and not Ed inburgh was regarded as the capital city of Scotland. On this precious relic Edward fixed his hold, but before re moving the stone caused himself to be crowned king of Scots, after which he removed it to London and placed it in chair in Westminster abbey, where it is to be seen today.

govern when once they understood that they were to be treated as human
 beings, instead of as brutes, as the Spanish have always treated them No one that has ever visited those islands wonders at the natives being sayages towards the SpaniardS, and no one that has never visited them can .orm any proper idea of the petty tyrannical exactions that the natives of those islands have been subject to for the past century. They have been worse than slaves.
 There is another good reason why we must keep those rich and produc- tive islands. The Afro-American is increasing rapidly in the south, and eventually there will have to be some place found to colonize him. The Phil ippines are the very place. They are capable of easily supporting at least 60,000,000 more people than they now have. The island of Java, with 5O,00O square miles, now has 26,O00, ,0OO in habitants. and they are self-support-- ing and export millions of surplus yearly. With an area of 150,O square miles, and exactly the same conditions in regard to soil and climate, the Phil ippines could sustain population three times as large as that of Java. The population is now about lS,OO0,- 900, but at least half of this number is on Luzon, on which the city of Ma nila is situated. The island of Min danao, the second in size, is thinly populated and the natives are a mix ture of Malay and Paupun. .For some reason the Spanish have never had control fully of this island, and the natives enjoy greater degree of ib- erty and freedom than in any of the other large islands.
 T hope the Journal will advocate the retention of the Philippines and Carolnies with the same persistency and good logic with which it mas fla vored the annexation of the Hawaiian islands, and in time it will have the satisfaction of knowing that it was on the right side of that question"
