Mortality in the Seminole War.

The only experience the United States
army has ever had in tropical warfare
was in Florida, from 1885 to 1S42-the
seven years war with the Seminole
Indians. While the conditions there
We're much more favorable than they
are in Cuba, the mortality from dis
ease was enormous in comparison to
the number of men employed. The rec
ords show that there We're altogether
400 troops engaged during the seven
years fighting against a total of about
5000 Indians, of whom ,594 were men,
1 ,3ol women and 993 children. The war
was carried on in a manner very sim
liar to that between the Spaniards and
the CubanS. The Indians would never
consent to a stand-up fight unless they
had great advantage, but lay in am
bush and attacked the soldiers in the
dark whenever they could do SO with
out exposing their own lives. They
lived on the country, the native fruits,
roots, vegetables and game, while the
soldiers were required to carry sup
plies with them and were TINS handi-
capped and retarded in their move
ments. 1t took seven years to subdue
the savages, and there was no peace

ated. AT the end of seven years the
fighting men were reduced to about
300, and they We're hidden in the ever
glades.
During these seven years out of the
1,4O0 troops employed 1881 died
twentythree sailors and forty-two
marines, the remainder being officers
and soldiers of the regular army. OF
this number only 50 were killed in bat
tie, pa died of wounds, and 1,2o9 of
malarial diseases.
AS a result of the Indian war there
are now on the pension rolls 6,661 per-
sons, of whom 2,313 are survivors and
4,2SS widows. They receive an aver
age of SSO0,0OO year in pensions. and
since 1893 have been paid S3.243, I0S
The total amount thus far paid by the
Government for pensions growing out
of the Florida war will exceed $o3,O0O,-

 Eleven ocean cables connect the English, Irish and French cable sta tions with America, and the message from Manila, upon reaching Lands End, may be sent ever any of these cables. The Western Union's mes sages are sent from Sermon Cove, near Lands End, direct to Dover Bay, near Canso, Nova Scotia, 2,531 miles; from there they are repeated over the coast cable to New York, 888 miles more.

THE AZURITE.
|Our Mining Interests Sized Up by a Pennsylvanian.

MT. Charles H. Filkins of Bradford Pa, has been in the city for the last 1 ten days making some observations and as the Star learns his principal mission is to examine into the Azurite mines and report the same.
 MT Filkins is no stranger to the ter Iritory. In '79 he came to Arizona, lduring the Tombstone excitement, and made some profitable investments. He negotiated the sale of the famous |Vizna mine out of which the purchas- |ers made a big thing. He also han dled some other properties with suc- |cess and made money for himself and |friends, and as a result he was well liked and enjoyed the confidence of |the business men of that region of Ari-
 zona which he still retains.
 "Yes, I am pleased with the mining g outlook of Arizona ,and especially of 3this section I have been making in |Quiries from those who ought to be [pOsted on Arizona's resources, and I lam informed that a conservative est1-
 mate puts your copper output at over
 5 ,O00 tons per month, and the gold out but has reached $1,O00,O00. Now, this lis a vast product for region of |oountry so little talked about in the least Why don't you AriZonians ad- |vertise these facts so that our eastern people may learn where to place their surplus of wealth?
 My present mission to Arizona is to examine into some copper properties lin which myself and some friends are Interested I have made two trips to
 the mines, spending two or three days
 making a most exhaustive examina- ition, and find them all they have been |represented; yes, and very much bet ter. These are the Azurlte gold and |copper mines. There are over 5000 ffeet of work in tunnels, drifts, shafts and crosscuts, and the sampling is most encouraging. I believe the Azur-
 lite mines to be very fine and all that |is required now is reduction works but on the ground instead of shipping
 the ores There is a vast amount of lore in sight and on the dumps which Twill average from six to eight per cent, (which will not stand shipping and cus- tom smelting but will yield a fair |prof1t on the ground, as the ore is all Self fuxing and easy of reduction "Yes, it is the intention of the com |pany to erect reduction works at an |early day, consisting of smelter and |concentrators, as we have enough ore lin sight and out to keep smelter run hing steadily for months.

He recently made a dis covery which promises to be a very important on, although he has not had the ore assayed yet to determine it's character and value The ledge is im- menSe.
 James A. Fleming, president of the Black Warrior Copper company, has a force Of men employed taking out ore to be smelted at the United Globe shelter. There will be about 700 tons of ore to be moved. Owing to the scarcity of teams, MT Fleming has not made a contract for hauling the ore and may have to provide his own teams.
 Peter O'Lief, working on the night shift at the Star mine, was found dead in the face of the tunnel when the shift went on to relieve him. He was covered up with debris. The indications are that he was tamping shot, when it exploded. The Star mine is located in the Bradshaws, about two miles from the Crowned King, has 600 feet of tunnel, and is being developed by Springfield, H., capitalists, who expect to erect mill on the property in the near future.
