 Mohave Miner D. W. Risher will beoin operations on the American Flag mine, Wallapai mountain, some time next week. The American Flag was one of the biggest producers in Mohave county few years ago.
 Globe Belt: George Bowen has com pleted assessment work on the Great Republic group of five copper claims, in Pinto district, and the properties are showing up well. He has 23O foot tunnel on another while the others are opened up by cuts and shafts.
 Globe Belt "Kidn Burns and part ners are taking out very rich copper ore from one of their claims on the divide between Mineral aud Pinto creeks. They have made arrange ments with the Buffalo shelter for all the ore taken out which averages 45 per ceut.
 Prescott Courier: K. c. Norton, while crossing road ID the Lynx creek neighborhood a few days ago, picked up gold nugget worth SIS. The nugget has the appearance of having been run over by wagon wheels. The road, at the point where the nugget was picked up, crosses a gold bearing bar of gravel.
 Enterprise: New machinery is be- ing placed at the Vekol mine, as the electrical process did not work satis- factorily. The Vekol has already produced ST 7,OoO,00O in silver, this having been mined by crude methods. The mine is yet but prospect so far as the ore body is concerned It is one of the rich mines of the world
 Pick and Drill: The Congress mine has reached a depth of l,700 feet; Crowned King, ,0O0 feet; Planet-Sat- urn, 700 feet; Little Jessie, 300 feet; McCabe 500 feet; Jersey Lily 450 feet. Every gold mine in Yayapai county, with two exceptions, that is now working at profit, has been deyel- oped and equipped by the wealth taken from the mine.
 Prescott Courier Solon Marker, the contractor yesterday returned from French gulch, near Placeritas and about thirty miles south Of Pres colt. He says that the company operating in Millners property in French Gulch has struck a magnifi- cent body of copper ore, which is II feet across, and that the erection of a smelter at that point Is now being figured on Mir Marker has con tract to do some freiehting for the company as soon as he finishes his ditch digging contract iu Prescott.
 Yuma Sun: The mines at Venus Camp, Picacho district, owned aud operated by H. w. Blasdell of Yuma, who has fifty-ton cyanide plant at work extracting the yellow metal from the ores, are proving an unquali- fled success under MT. Blaisdell's management and the uperintendence of Mr Frank Guerra-a success fully justified by the enterprise and good judgment displayed by the owner. The second monthly cleanup was made few days ago, and the value of the bullion brought down was said to be s35,OOO while the expenses were about Sl2,OO0. The previous months run was S29,OOO.

SAMPLES OF URANIUM.

L. H. Lezeart is in the city with set of samples from his uranium discover ies at Evanston. Wyo., and says that while but little development has been done several gentlemen who have ex- perted them have made very favorable reports. That he has received offers from reputable sources to assist him in any way in the development of the claims is revealed in letters from number of prominent metallurgists, some of whom have sampled the ore. The results acknowledged by them are very satisfactory and the visitor ex- poets to begin the marketing of the ele- ment in very short time. The tests show from to 2S per cent uranium. while all that is required to give the ore commercial standing is 15 per cent. At depth of fifteen feet M. Lez- cart reports from nine inches to three feet of the ore, the sacking of which is to begin at once.-Salt Lake Tribune.

 Another remarkable find was Nun sons chunk, huge boulder, so rich in silver that it yielded upwards of $9,- COG It was found by a man named Munson, on the left hand side of the road leading to Ramboz, about four miles northeast of Globe. Mack Nor ris, riding along the road, found Nun son sitting on the boulder, where he had been since the night before with out grub. Upon being asked what he was doing there. Munson replied that he had struck it rich,, and was afraid to leave his find, for fear some one would jump it. Mack Morris rescued him from the dilemma by putting a notice on the boulder: "This is Nun sons chunk" and that held it until a formal location could be made. A lea.' was discovered near by from which very rich ore was taken, but the pay streak was only few inches wide.- Globe Silver Belt

 There is a difference between "ser- viceable soundness" and absolute soundness" in a horse. The fUnited States government used to require ab- solute soundness when there was nc war, but now serviceable soundness will do, so much is the army in want or horses.
 In New York city is hospital for sick horses. The veterinarians who conduct it are kept busy and make a good thing out of it. A clinic, with lectures on horse diseases is attached to the establishment. One of the ami malls taken to the hospital was an old white mare whose owner declared she was off her feed. He could not tell what was the matter, but she refused to eat at all and was thin as rail. The veterinarian opened the old mare s mouth and found she was starving to death. An upper tooth had grown down so long that it pierced her lower gums every time she tried to chew and hurt her so that she gave up the at tempt. The poor old dumb thing had DO way to let her owner know what pain she suffered. The veterinarian cut the tooth of, and she was as well as ever. This suggests that it is a good plan to examine the teeth of old horses from time to time.

NUGGETS FROM THE HILLS.

Fv-Sberiff Hinkle is in Prescott from his Rapid Transit mine.
 Announcement is made of the en- eagement of Albert L. Waters, shelter foreman for the United Globe mines. and Miss Maud T. Shanley.
 The Williams Smelling company has the wagon road to the mines in such condition as to permit the use of its steam motor for the transportation of ore.
 Edward King, late smelter boss for the United Globe mines, left Friday for San Francisco on pleasure trip. He expects to be absent two months or longer.
 J. R. Benton, an old time prospector of Arizona, and who owns valuable properties in Graham county, was in Bisbee a few days ago, on his return from an extended prospecting trip through northern Sonora
 James Hanger is in Prescott from his mines in the Minnehaha section. He says that John Kelley Of Pioche ic looking at properties in that section. A party of prominent Montana cap italists is expected in Bisbee in a few days to examine group of promising copper properties in that vicinity. Messrs. Mcfarland and Thomas left Williams recently for the Grand can yon copper mines. The gentlemen left l in hurried response to the welcome news of there being a fine strike made by the miners LOW working at the mines. The road has been placed in good condition and the steam wagon is expected in today with the first con- i signment of ore for the shelter. w. P. Howe and George and Charles Fleming arrived in Globe from Ara vaipa last Friday. They are owners of group of gold and copper claims, and adjoining the Grand Reef mine. The district is attracting considerable attention and if the thorough tests of the ores now being made are favor able Aravaipa will experience boom. Joe Potter has returned to the city after trip through the diggings ot Arizona, where at Dos Cabezas he sue ceeded in tying up a group of mining claims, and with the development o'

FINISHING CATTLE.
Grass Makes Good Reef if the Foun-
 datiOn is Well Laid.

Cattle that have been on full grain ration during the winter should invari- ably be finished in the stable without any let-up in the quality of the food. To put them on grass is not only to delay the finishing, says Farmers Ad
 vocate, but frequently to cause them to lose weight Cattle to be put on grass should have been we'll wintered, and receiving for the last few months about half feed of grain daily. Cat tie taken off of good ensilage and straw or hay, with very little chop, will lose no time after going on good pasture. They should, however, be kept in the yards or stables until full bite and tender grass can be obtained Young and tender grass is too laxative, and requires too much time and exercise to satisfy the animals wants. It Is good rule to make the change from winter feed to grass gradually, that no derangement of the animals will fol- low. Before being allowed out they should be allowed their regular break
 fast and water and then turned out af- ter the dew has all passed away When returning to the yard in the evening. they should receive their satisfaction of fodder along with their regular all lowance of grain. By continuing this method for a week or ten days the cat tie will go forward rapidly. A little care at this time may make differ ence of weight per animal of from 50 to 100 pounds per month, half of which may easily be lost through an unwise sudden change, or a like amount may be gained in the same time.

NEW THEORY.

Theodore r. Van Wagene1 has pub lished a theory of naturalization ln belts which anta agoniZe all theories heretofore held by geoiogists regarding mineral formations. NIT. Van Wage nen, whose experience as mining en- gineer covers period of many years in Colorado and other mineral sections of the west, contends that the mineral areas of the western part of the United States are covered by ten belts of gi- gantic 1odes-
 All of these, he asserts, have gen eral northeast and southwest trend, are roughly parallel to each other, trav- erse the region between the plains and the Pacific ocean like gigantic veins, and are separated by barren areas as extensive as, if not larger than, them selves. The investigation has been pushed some distance into British Col umbia and old Mexico with the result that so far each belt of rich and bar ren territory continue in the same line.
 Mir. Van Wagenen contends that, all though these belts are practically par allel, when the general course of the southernmost belt, starting from the Pacific ocean well in the southern part of Mexico, is compared with that of the northernmost belt starting on the coast of the state of Washington 1t will bs found that each belt departs more from true north and south course than it's neighbor to the east, and that all fol- low in general way the curves of the lines of magnetic variation.
 He says that, if the coincidence of these belts with the curves or magnetic variation can be clearly and unmistak- ably proved, it would not only be highly probable that electrical energy in one form or another has had much to do with the deposition of metallifer- ous ores. but it would be a fair con- clusion that in the region of the mag netic pole on the north shore of Hud- son bay, where the belts converge, ex- cessive naturalization exists
 It is contended also that the min eralization and Assuring of the earthS crust has not been connected with, and is not ore of the results of the e1e vatfon of mountain ranoes. for, se shown on his maps, the lines of the fie- sures cross the lines of divides at a'' conceivable angles. It is also held hy MT. Van Wagenen that mineraliza- tion is an older phenomenon thar mountain range formations, for where the.lfnes of Assuring are approximately parallel with the crest of high divide the axis of the belt is visib1v fixed.
 The author of this interesting theory says that the territory outside of these belts should be abandoned bv the pros. pector. while that within their limits should be carefully investieate1 70. gardless of unfavorable surface iudica tions, for if there arc cnr+inuors line. of fesurinp a~d r,ine,.o1'votio-. +hes. will in p1aces he covered hv alI,lyia formations of recent date or capped b, volcanic overf1ows

DEPARTMENT OF MINING.

The growth of tho whining industry entities it to consideration at the hands of the government not accorded under present conditions. It is phase of our industrial life intimately connected with the interests of the federal government. rot only through the character of it's products, which in part represents the money supply of the country, but in the patenting of it's mineral lands
 So vast is the capital invested in mining enterprises. so great the vol ume of human energy employed, that the industry requires more protection and care than can be accorded it through subordinate clerkships in the interior department. Experience has shown woeful lack of knowledge con- corning mining matters on the part Of the officials of that department, ex- e1nplif1ed by a multiplicity of rulings that required subsequent revision ir the plain interest of justice. This is not said by way of criticism, for even the supreme court has frankly shown disposition to enlarge it's views and acquire better knowledge of the min ing industry. But the work of the in
 
 terlor department is not comprehen- sive enough to enable mining interests to secure the full measure of benefit.
 There should be department devot- ed to mines and minerals, presided over by a man specially fitted by edu- cation and ability for the work re- qhired. It would give to the industry the assurance of encoura cement along every line of effort, as we'll as the guaranty of equitable conclusions in controversial cases, for uniformity would be the rule rather than the eX- ception. The international mining congress will conserve the best inter ests of the mining industry, from the prospector in the field and the laborer in the mine to the investor in mining properties, by recommending the ere ation of federal bureau of mining

TEASING THE ANIMALS.

Teasing the young animals on the farm should never be tolerated. It may be very funny to see the young things make use of their tender horns, and stamping of feet, etc, but as they grow elder often become vicious, and then some day in fit of bad temper they are liable to injure some member of the family, or strangers which may happen to be passing by are very likely to be attacked by vicious animals.

GLOBE WHEN SILVER WAS KING

The Stonewall Jackson at McNIillin, was even a larger producer than the Mack Morris, and undoubtedly the richest silver ore ever mined in Ari- zona was taken from the StonewaIl Jackson. Veins of almost pure silver were found and after being stripped, the metal was cut by chisels into huge slabs and shipped to San Francisco, where it attracted great attention, and was sold as specimens, weight for weight, for silver dollars.
 Richmond Basin gained additional notoriety by reason of the quantity and size of nuggets found at the grass roots. The Chilsome brothers, 1ocators of the Nugget mine, made one ship ment of nuggets from which they real

We suppose that there are moro honest
money Democrats than Mr.. CARL SEIZURE,
whose objections to national expansion
and to q larger standing army are so strong
that they will prefer free silver and go over
to the party Of the Chicago platform. But
there cannot be many such.
Not many citizens can have such aversion
to the idea Of a greater United States
that they would vote for national fraud to
prevent 1t. Not many would dishonor the
Government and destroy its credit rather
than enlarge the army.
On the contrary, the impulse Of the people
Of the United States would be to pour out
millions Of money for an army to hold what
we have won from Spain, and they would
endure almost anything in defence of the
national financial honor, which Mr.. SCHURz
and his kind are willing to sacrifice.

The Absurdities of tho Campaign.

Serious as this campaign is, there is also
q side to 1t which is absurd to a degree
never before reached in a political canvass
In this State.
Nine members OF Congress are to be
elected from the county Of New York,
enough OF them. it may be, to determine
the political complexion Of the next House
Of Representatives. whether 1t shall be free
silver and Bryanite or for the gold standard
and the maintenance of the credit OF the
United States. OF course, New York, as
the commercial and financial capital OF the
Union, Is interested vitality in this matter.
Yet, OF the nine candidates nominated by
the Democratic party to represent in Con-
0ress the sentiment OF this great city, the
second city in the world, only one can be
induced to express any opinion on the sub
ject, and he. a rabld Bryanite, 10 running in
o district he believes to be 80 rabidly Bryan
tie also that he can afford to take the risk OF
committing himself on the question. None
OF the other Democratic candidates dares
open his mouth on 1t. They are all afraid to
speak, as one Of them expressedit lest they
might ''~alienate votes"
Was there ever a more absurd exhibition
In u political %canvass? Those Democratic
candidates for Congress are proceeding on
the theory Of their political masters that
the citizens OF New York are fools.
Another absufdity Is the unprecedented
willingness Of men hitherto accounted
Democrats OF courage and conviction to
assist in this silly attempt to hoodwink the
people of New York. These men consent to
be gagged by their masters In the same
way as those Congress candidates. They
make long speeches, but never a word do
they dare utter about the Democratic cur
rehcy doctrine. in which the interests and
convictions OF every citizen of New York are
90 profoundly concerned. They dare not
arfter any one OF the nine Congress districts
to discuss the subject. Except for the Re-
publican candidates, running as avowed
champions of the gold standard, it would not
be mentioned +; yet every market trembles
with anxiety as to the popular decision to
be rendered oil this very question.
Was there ever before such an absurdity
Introduced into q grave canvass? It is q
