THE HOLY TERROR,

A strike has been made in the Holy
Terror mine within the last few days
that makes everybody interested in it
feel elated. And not only those parti-
Cularly interested, but everybody in the
Southern Hills. The new strike was en-
countered on the 600.foot leyel of the
mine and was the original Holy Terror
ledge. This shows of course that the
Holy Terror mine is practically inex-
haustible-it is gold from the grass
roots" down and truly a phenomenal
mine,-Journal.

HARPER'S AT THE FRONT.

Since the naval war with the Bar bary pirates at the beginning of the century, the arms of this country have never been engaged at any consider able distance from our shores; and in the case of the Manila expedition it will be most interesting to observe the manner in which our officers attack the numerous and serious problems which confront the leaders of armies of occupation and expeditionary forces operating far from a base of supplies. Every question of management that comes up is new" said an officer at San Francisco last week to John F. Bass, well known correspondent, "and all the details of such an enter prise are experimental" Mr. Bass will represent Harper's Weekly with Gen. eral Merritt's troops, and his letters from the Philippines will appear reg ularly in that journal
Arizona republican., 1898-06-30

we should congratulate him that his business experiences promise to be rounded out and completed. To have toiled for months, and taken great risks, and thought hard, and only learned at last how it feels to win would not have really paid him. It is not in human nature to be content with winning alone. An experience of loss seems essential to wisdom and to contentment- As matters stand now, Joseph Letter seems to have had both experiences, and had them in satisfy ing measure. Whether his losses were due to his unwillingness to take the paternal advice, or to lack of apprecia- tion of when it was time to stop, or to events which could not be foreseen or prevented is matter for discussion among interested experts. What ap- pears on the surface fs that he seems to have proved constant in diversity, and that his rivals and brother strate- g1sts speak kindly of him.-Harper'A Weekly
