Ge man sentiment Changing.

Berlin, April 2.-The sentiment m Germany in official and unofficial circles early today was that the Hispano-AmeIican crisis has veered considerable during the course of the week and is now de cidedly more favorable to the United States. Thss, it is asserted, is part ly the result of President McKin- ley's action and the conservative manner in which United States Minister WoOdford has dealt with the authorities at Madrid, and part ly to the bitterness engendered by ao alleged wantOn attact of 6 band of insurgents upon the German sugar rehneries at Cannamaba in Trinidad, in the province of Santa Clara, and the murder of four per sons connected with the refinery. on March IS, which has taught Ger many that the Spanish are unable to protect even the lives of foreign CTS in Cuba. The newspapers here are also changing their line and now concede in the main the justice of American demands, ackuowledg- ing that Washington has acted with which many another government would not have shown under similar circumstances.

Mining Intelligence.

W. I. Roberts has sold one-third of the Garibaldi mining claim to Frsd. Schmidt for Sl0O.
 A deed was filed for record today from P. F. Smith to w. F. Davis for one half of the Bull Dog mine, in Weaver district; consideration, $500.
 A. W. Fisher has deeded to D. Mcdonald and to Theodore Martens each, one-sixteenth interest in claim number of the Revenue group of mines, in Weaver district, the consid- eration in each case being Sl0.
 The JOURNAL MINER erred in its issue of April in it's item in refer ence to the sale of a mining claim by Timothy Fell to H. Kreuger. The price stated was S200, whereas it should have read 5000.
 Timothy Fell has deeded one half interest in the Kansas mining claims, Black Hills district to H. c. Kreuger for $20O. Work will be commenced shortly developing the property.
 E. s. Campbell has taken a lease and bond on the old Morning Glory mine and mill in Turkey creek dis trict, and will start at once to make repairs on the mill and put a small force at work Tn the mine. The ore is free gold down to the 80 foot level, when it turns base. It is estimated that there are 1000 tons of this ore now in sight. While the ore is not high grade there is big body of it. making it easy to work. It has pro duced a considerable quantity of gold in the past. Mir. Campbell expects to get the mill in condition to start up by April %. Oregon capital IS interested in the enter prise.
 Information comes from King man that hydraulic work will be started May 1 on the great gravel banks on the Colorado river near Bonelli's Ferry, northwest of King man. Great steam pumps aud an elaborate system of pipe lines are being placed that water may be lifted far up on the high mesa to give ample force at the nozzles of the hydraulic guns below. Several boilers, each of 300-horse power, have latel y been sent to the river from this point. Fuel will mainly be secured from the river, on winch thousands of cords of wood are brought down at every rise. Booms are being placed SO as to catch the drift of the spring floods and to d. vert it into lagoon, whence it can readily be taken to the boiler. The enterprise is that of the Temple Bar Consolidated Mining Company, which owns thousands of acres of the richest gravel banks on the river. At one time the managers of the company thought it possible to pump the necessary water by means of wheel floats anchored out in the river, but the experiment has been tried and abandoned. Henry J. Delamer IS now in charge of the company's interests in Arizona. The gravel banks have occasionally been worked in the past by means of dry washers. Nuggets and coarse gold have been found, th- working of a cubic yard on the company's ground, as test, return ing 80. In places the gravel banks are fifty feet high, and placer gold appears to permeste them from top to bottom.

A CONGRESS-
 HOLOCAUST !

 This Morning.
Properly Loss Placed at Forty Thou sand Dollars. Insurance Six Thousand D0lIars.-TW0
 Lives Lost.

Congress, April 5.-[ Special tc JoURSAL-MINER. - Fire broke out this morning at 3 o'clock in the lower town, ard it is supposed to have caught in the restaurant ad. joining the Silver Dollar. There was absolutely no water and the fire spread with great rapidity. Nearly all the business houses were de- stroyed, including those of B. Hersh- kowItz, general merchandise, D. J.

 The fire was also attended with loss of life. James VidanO. pro prietor of the SilveriDollar saloon, was asleep in the back part of the saloon, which was in blaze almost instantly after the fire was first dis covered and it is presumed he be- came confused and ran through the fire to the street. He was fright fully burned about the head chest and arms. He made a great strug> gle 10 get out but was probably blinded, as he fell several times. He was taken to the Congress Gold COmpany's hospital where he died m great agony at II o'clock today.
 Another victim was Gertie Tom linson, better known as Gertie Gra- ham, girl of the town, who was burned beyond recognition and was overcome while asleep.

SPANISH SENTIMENT.

rhe following from El Psis, pub lished at Madrid, is a fair sample of the feeling existing in Spain against Americans:
 1t would be losing our time to discuss the American theory that the Maine" was blown up by the explosion of a mine connected by means of wires with our ship yards. Infamies should not be discussed, but punisLed. Spain's honor stands too high to be soiled by the squeam- ish drivel of those to3ds filled with nastIness nd bold enough to pretend to snlly it The best way 10 get rid of these toads is to crush them with the feet, not 10 protect ourselves against them, but merely prevent the carrying of their nastiness any further We shall not question the good faith of the American jingoes who i'm zine us capable of the most foul villainies and cowardly ac- tions. Scoundrels bg nature the American jingoes believe that all men are made like themselves What do they know about noble and generous feeling' Did they ever hear of any such thingi We should not in any way heed the jim goes; they are not even worth our contempt or the saliva with which we might honor them in splitting at their faces. But there are not only jingoes in the United States. There are also the government which represents the nation and which has not SO far had tho courage to throw of its mask and confess to Its jingo- ism. l. IS not enough for a man to say that he is honest. Whenever a mans honesty is questioned that man has to prove it or else nobody will believe that he is honest. This app ies also to irIeudship.'

Governor McCord, who returne d on Friday night from Flagstaff, vas delighted with the reception ten dered him there the day before. Speaking of the half finished reform school building there, the governor said the people are very anxious that the building should be com pleted. They do not favor the pro lect of converting into a branch insane asylum, but prefer that it be used for educational purposes; for a normal school, for instance. The branch asylum does not strike any one as good business move, for it would cost about $l5,OO0 more a year more for the care of the insane than it does now. The present facilities are ample. At least 200 patients could be cared for and there are only l50 there now.-Phenix Republican.

 The navy department has ordered the purchase, Tn New York, imme- diately, of ten vessels for the aux Hilary navy. The boats are to be between 2,00O and 10000 tons bur den.
 There is great enthusiasm at Ha- yana among the Spaniards and thousands of them are entering in hattalions of volunteers. The Span iards say they prefer to fight great nation rather than a small one.
 It Is stated that the President, in his forthcoming message, will favor intervention aud will make no rec concentrations or suggestions that will conflict with that idea. The disaster to the Maine will be prom inently brought to the fore, and will be located in vigorous manner.
 It is stated in Vatican circles that the Pope has not formally offered to mediate between Spain and the United States. It is true, however, that the pontiff con veyed to Madrid his ardent wish for the avoidance of the conflict and has asked Spain to arrange for the sus- pension of warlike measures or de- cisions.
 Senor Queseda, representing the Cuban junta in Washington, says: "Cubans will never consent to ar. mistice until their independence is recognized. Until that time they will not cease fighting. When inde- Pendence is recognized the Cubans will consent to an armistice for the settlement of the conditions of the island"
 It has just been learned definitely that the exchange of notes between the great powers of Europe has begun concerning mediation on the | Spanish. American question.

 Consul General Lee has been in- structed to turn the American con- sulate over to the British consul. Collin, and has already made the necessary arrangements with Collin to do so. This is a mere precaution in case General Lee has to leave General Lee had long conference with Consul Collin who courteously agreed to do anything in his power in case Lee received orders to leave, or is forced to seek refuge on the Fern with the other Americans by sudden uprising of he Havana populace.

POOR OLD TOM.

Poor Old Tom Parish. He can't help otbruding his personality in print. Tom became impressed several years ago with the idea that he is leader among men, and par ticularly among democrats-a demo cratic leader. This idea of Tommy's was encouraged by Zulick, a for ner temporary resident of this territory and by the grace of Grover C!eve- land it's chief executive. Zulick made him commissioner Of immi- grafton and otherwise took him into his confidence. Parish seemed to be just the sort of man Zulick took a fancy to. A man after his own heart, as it were. Zulick left a bad political record behind him when he left the territory. Parish didn't leave the territory. He remained to fumigate Zulick's record. and to try to pull the democratic party to- gether again. No one ever accused Parish of doing anything worse than of associating with Zulick. This was bad enough. Later along Parish was made treasurer by another democratic governor. This swelied his vanity somewhat again. He now essays to criticise President Mckinley. He does so in a peculiar ly cunning style inherent to him, as Parish IS cunning. He tries to be particularly humorous in his criti- cism. This gives him poetic license to depart from the truth. Humor is no respector of truth. In this respect Parish and humor are very much alike. Thomas departs just as far from it as poetic license and his imagination can carry him, and not get clear out of sight of his subject. He makes an assertion and then elaborates on it Neither the assertion, which is used as the foundation or the superstructure of el4boI ation being true it sounds funny to Parish. Farish's screed is amusing in more ways than one, The ingenuity with which he makes his escape from the truth is very amusing. Then to see a man of Toms caliber mental aud otherwise analyze and oriticise President Me Kinley is intensely amusing. It is like an ant attacking an elephant; a lilliputian making war oD a giant. But as long as the supply of blank paper and pencils hold out and sheets can be found to publish his screeds Parish will write. He hasn't much else to do, now that his party is out of power. Writing harmless screeds for newspapers is about the least harmful vocation he can in dulge in.

MODERN rEAoEMAKERs.

The Denver Republican of recent date contains the following caustic editorial in regard to the influences brought to bear on governments of the present day:
 "The men who so conspicuously throw their influence Tn favor of peace in these days, and whose counsel seems in numerous ins ances to have prevented war, hardly be- long to the class upon whom a blessing was pronounced by the Saviour. They are advocates of peace not because they love peace, but because they dread the losses which they fear would come through war.
 "These men are. however, the real rulers of the word. They control cabinets, ministries and councils. They permit war talk to be carried to a certain length, but as soon as the situation begins to look serious they step in and send the disputants flying n every direction. It then takes them a long time to get to- gether again, and when they do the same interference prevents them from coming to blows
 These 'preservers of the peace care nothing about national honor. Liberty to them is a vexatiuus some thing about which poor people talk. but which is rather 10 be summed than embraced. They hate agita- ton. They want to be let alone, to follow out their designs for making money. They have much to say about the evil of disturbing busi- ness, as though business and money making were the only considerations that should occupy the attention of civilized people. They represent, in itI most intense form, the conser- vatism of capital, and of course they do all they can to prevent dis turbance in commercial and fnan- cial relations like that which war would cause.
 ''This class is not confined 10 the United States. It is seen in E0gland and also on the continent. It has its representatives in Berlin, in Vienna, and in Paris. Of all great capitals, St. Petersburg seems to be the least under its influence, and yet even it is not free. National boundaries are of no consequence to men of this class. The patriotism of plunder is the only kind they know.
 "The French revolution was thought to be a dreadful calamity. But in fact it as one of the greatest blessings that ever came to mankind. It is held up as horror whenever any one wishes to present picture of the dreadful consequences oi popular disorder and the demands of the disconteDted class. But the French revolution was a new birth for France, and it broke the chains of a galling slavery in which the common people were bound.
 Another French revolution would break the dominion of the men who think that business and moaey making are the ouly things to be considered. Sooner or later there will be such a revolution unless a general war shall take place before the discontent of the people shall become so great that they w!ll endure no longer. A general E ITO pean war would be a blessing. for the reason that 1t would break the control of these modern peace makers"

 United States to feed the reconceu- trados in the meantime IS the "peace with honor" demanded by the president and to which Spain IS willing to agree" The above is the opening sentence of an artillery editorial in the Phenix Gazette Of hur.day morning. The editor of the Gazette is evidently away be hind time as that srmistice proposi- tion came from Spain last Saturday and was indignantly rejected by the Washington administration. II the Gazette can palm of such stuff as the above on its readers without a kick, it is a sad reflection on its constituency.
 Spanish newspapers say the gov erument of Spain "has decided to do every thing possible to avoid war if the honor and dignity of Spain is not affected" If nation that could calmly starve its subjects to death by the thousands, and could wink at and condone, if not actually parti - cipate in the destruction of a war ship and hundreds of its crew of a nation at peace with it, has any honor or dignity to preserve, it ought to be looked after. The honor and dignity of Spain could be put in a bottle and sealed up and re- turned to her after the United States has obtained full and ample satisfac- ton for the destruction of her war ship and two hundred and fifty of it's crew.
