Iuloving remembrance of Constanc Turpin,
who departed this life Saturday. september
til 1898. IN the full triumph OF falth.
Dear as thou vert, and Justly dear,
We will not weep for thee
One thought VIII check the starting tear,
IL is-that thou art free.
And thus shall faiths consoling power,
The tears of love restrain;
OH who that saw thy parting hour,
Could wish thee mere again
Rest on the bosom # thy God,
Young spirit rest thee now
None of the sorrows here portrayed,
Shall fall upon thy brow
''In love she lived
In peace she died
Her life was asked.
But God denied"
To HER SISTER:
Though cast down. you are not forsaken,
Though afflicted, you are not alone;
Thou dtdst give and thou hast taken
Blessed Lord thy Will be ne.
MAY the Lord in his infinite mercy make
this dispensation the means OF a present anC
eternal blessing TO your soul, through Jesu.

COPPER IN COCHISE.

The Bisbee Orb has the following to say of the prospect for 1898:
 Arizona mines will undoubtedly dur ing the present year increase their out put considerably, and Cochise county will furnish her share of it. In the first place we have the Copper Queen company, which has just put in two large furnaces to take the place of the smaller ones, and by so doing will in- crease their output several hundred tons per month. The average rate ot production after the new smelters are started will amount to considerable over 1000 tons per month.
 The Copper King of Arizona. with it's present outlook will undoubtedly be producing copper bullion before the year is out and with it's claims at Sol omon Springs will make quite show ing in the production of copper.
 The various copper properties in tht Dragoon mountains are being opened up and the present plan of erecting a smelter h that locality, if carried

 A. B. Duncan, a prominent foundry man and banker of Los Angeles, is in Pearce where he goes to look at some miling interests in which he is in- terested.
 Superintendent F. J. Martin of La Fortuna returned to his post of duty last Wedne esday after a short visit in California, where he has some mining properties.
 County Treasurer B. B. Adams and Hank Wowdle of Solomonville have become half owners in a gold claim in the Graham mountains and will immediately do $200 worth of devel- opment work.
 Al Seiber was in Globe Wednesday from the copper mines on Pinto creek owned by the McNellys, D. R. Will 1iamson, Con Crowley and himself He was highly elated over the develop ments on the property.
 Melini & Eakin, the Albuquerque liquor dealers, are developing the Golden Slipper mining claim in Big

 Old Dominion was one of the most active stocks dealt in on the Boston mining exchange during 1897, sales aggregating 226, 6,119 shares, the lowest price being SIP in April, and the high est $29, in September Old Dominion is now about s24.
 The Tombstone Prospector is pleased to note that an interest Is being mani fested in the matter of appointing delegates to the miners convention tc be held in Phoenix It is probable Mayor Emanuel will call a meeting tc awaken interest in the matter.
 Yuma county should by all means be represented at the miners conven- ton to be held in Phoenix as hearty response will no doubt be made by tht territory at large and an interchange of ideas cannot fail to be of benefit We need a miners association, con. stituted by and for the miners, an6 should an organization be effected up on any other lines our mining inter | ests will suffer the consequences Tt | avoid disastrous results from organi zation by mercenary men who will at tempt to dominate the convention fo | personal ends, mining men should bl | sent there who could be depended up 1 on to represent the mining interest without an eye to self aggrandiZe ment-Yuma Sun.

out, will see many tons of matte snip
 ped from there.
 The Loudon group in the Whet-
 stones, which has recently been bond
 ed to California parties, is destined
 to be a heavy producer before many
 months. There is a good body of ore in sight and about two carloads already on the dump that will average over 22
 per cent.
 h the Huachucas several copper claims have lately been bonded, while
 considerable development work has
 been done on others which show good
 bodies of low grade ore. The Copper
 Glance mine, which during the past
 six months has not been producing
 it's share of copper concentrates, is soon to be opened up and number of men put to work. A new body of ore has lately been struck which runs high in both gold and silver besides a high per cent in copper.
 There are many other copper proper ties that may be spoken of but lack of space prevents us from so doing at the present time. The outlook is in- deed very encouraging for the county and the sounds of smelter whistles l may soon be heard.
 While the demand for copper during 1897 all over the world has continued
 at the highest point known in history the production fthe United States
 during the year just closed showed
 only a comparatively small increase over that of 1896 Arizona produced
 in 1896 73,745,321 pounds, while the
 output for 1897 was 80, ,401, ,409 pounds,
 an increase of 6,656,08S pounds, or per cent. Of the total production in 1897 the Montana mines produced 47 per cent; the Michigan minse 31 per cent; the Arizona mines 16.5 per cent,
 an dall others 5.5 per cent. The larg-
 est proportionate increase was 21 per cent in the output from other sources;
 Arizona coming next with gain of
 per cent. The Michigan mines in- creased their output dess than 1 per cent, while in Montana there was a decrease of little less than per cent in production. The total production of copper in the United States was ! 475, ,338 ,240 pounds, an increase of T. l 715, ,367 pounds. AS indicating the
 wonderful growth of the copper in- | dustry in this country, it is shown that the production from 1894 to 1897 in- 1 creased 35 per cent

made up ofsplendid material, being
composed principally Of young men
from the Valley and Southwest Vir-

men who made the name and fame of
the grand old "Stonewall" Brigade,
and should occasion present itself,
they will doubtless prove themsel-

Second Regiment is well differed,
well disciplined and well equipped,
and at their far distant post of duty
and danger they will not only be
followed by the prayers and best

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular Correspondent

From our regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May 23.-There is
more expectation than war news in
Washington, SO far as the public is
concerned. That is why the hourly
rumOr finds believers no matter how
wild it may be. There is news-im-
portant news-but it is of contempla
ted movements rather than of bat
tiles fought and things accomplished;
consequently it comes under the ban
of the censorship which has been es-
tablished by the government and is
not allowed to be made public. 1t
relates to the movements of our
warships which are trying to get
that Spanish feet which is lodging
around Cuban waters cornered where
it will be bound to fight, and there
are reasons for expecting the sue
cess of the efforts.
Talk is again prev alent Of post
poning the invasion of Cuba until
fall. The reasons given are that the
rainy season will begin in Cuba
about the tenth ofJune, during which
it will be impossible to carry on an
aggressive campaign, and that it
will require several months time to
manufacture the amount of ammuni-
ton that will be needed by the
army. The fact that this talk is
semi-officially encouraged, instead of
being rebuked, makes it is intended
to throw the Spaniards off their
guard. 1t is only the Spaniards
who have contended that military
operations could not be carried on in
Cuba during the rainy season; the
insurgents have proven to the con.
trary by making their most active
campaigns during that season. Z. S.
troops may land in Cuba any day.
What else are the troops being bur-
ried south for?
President Mckinley must have
succeeded in getting exceptional
men in his Cabinet. When every
body else is engaged in trying by
hook or crook 30 get a pointer on
the plans of the army and navy, the
of the Cabinet decided that
i would be best to confne such
knowledge to the President and
he Secretaries of War and the Navy,
md in accordance with that decision
requested the President not TO dis
,uss intended movements at Cabinet
meetings.. The gentlemen who have
hus cut themselves off from op
,ortunities to know everything goin

on and to go on say they did not do
so from any lack of interest, but from
fear that they might, if they knew
the plans, in an unguarded moment
say something that would serve as a
foundation for publications that
might result in frustrating those
plans. A facetious Congressman
SAYS the members of the Cabinet
merely advertised their Ignorance OF
war plans to escape being questioned
by their friends and families, especially
their wives. Though spoken in jest
there may be some truth in that idea

WE DID MORE DAMAGE THAN WE KNEW
TWO GUNBOATS DESTROYED
LOSSES IN THE CITY.

w
-Two GUNBoATs DESTROYED
LOSSES IN THE CITY.
Key West, Fla, May 22.-Ernest
Castro, a Cuban refugee who was In
Csrdenas on the day that the Wins
low wa, injured in trying to capture
a Spanish gunboat, arrived In hey
West this morning, having been
picked up off Caadenas yesterday.
His story of the affair explains fully
the trap which the Spanish act for
torpedo boat.
It will be remembered that the
motive for the attack was desire
to capture three little gun boats
which had been trying for several
days to lure the American ships into
the mined channels of Cardenas
harbor by rushing out and then
steaming back as soon as they had
drawn the fire of our ships. On the
morning ofthe fight the Wilmington,
Hudson, and Winslow went into the
inner harbor and there saw one ofthe
gunboats moored against the wharf
surrounded by q lot of shipping.
The other two gunboats were not in
sight.
The Winslow was ordered in to cut
out this boat, and as soon as she
came within range of a wooded point
iutting ont to the left of the shipping
shells began hailing about. The
Americans have thought that this
fire came from q battery masked in
the trees on this point, but Castro
says not.
According to his statement the
other two gunboats were on the
other side of the point with their
guns trained through the trees, which
concealed them from the sight of the
approaching Americans. These two
boats he says, were destroyed by the
Wilmington's fire. Most OF their
crews were killed or wounded.
One ofthe difficulties the Ameri-
cans had to contend with in silencing
the enemy's fire was that no smoke
was visible from the guns, It was
thought that the reason for this was
that they were using smokeless
powder, but it is more than probable
that il was due to the fact that the
gunboats lay beyond the stretch OF
trees in which the Americans thought
the batteries were situated.
Castro says tbst the port of Car
denas along the water is almost
totally wrecked. All the whsryes
were burned, and the Spanish Casino
a large building used by the head
quarters of the infantry, was also
destroyed, The troops and citizens
all fed from the town, The railroads
were running special trains into the
interior Thirteen soldiers were killed
by one shell as they fled along the
street. The supposition was that
the Americans were attempting a
landing, and after the ships ceased
firing the soldiers returned to stand
them of.
Castro also said that provisions are
50 scarce in Cardenas that the people
fight for food and that there is great
suffering among the poor.
