 Mr. William C.. Wharf mentioned in the Tacoma, Washington, dispatches as having come from Copper River, Alaska, to purchase mining machinery, was formerly resident of this city, and engaged in the powder business. For several years he has been engaged in mining in British Columbia, but for the past three years appears to have been at work in Cooks Inlet. He is a big, good natured fellow and is pleas antly remembered by many here.- Tucson Citizen.
 Judge Purcell returned this morning from his mining camp about thirty-five miles north of Tucson. He brought several handsome gold specimens and announced that he had plenty more He has been absent exactly three weeks and has been closely watching the de velopment of the property. The vein is about two and a half feet thick and the judge is of the opinion that "it goes down." There is, he says, quite large camp in the neighborhood and a lot of miners are at work. In due time reduction works will be erected.-Tuc- son Citizen.
 Parties coming from Table Mountain copper camp state that the company has one forty-two inch smelter in blast and will blow in another stack of the same size as soon as some needed re- pairs are finished. There are upwards of 10000 tons of good grade copper ore liberally sprinkled with fine gold, now out on the dumps, and 125,000 tons ot SIP milling ore. Grading for large gold mill will be commenced in few days. Hitherto the ore has been taken from the face of the croppings through huge open cuts and many thousands of tons of good ore are exposed to be taken down when needed A deep working shaft has been started and an air compressor and machine drills wifi soon be put in.-Tucson Citizen.

Smith says, have been abundant, grass plentiful and cattle fat Mining inter ests still continue to flourish and near ly all of those engaged in the business are shipping pay ore. The old Hard shell mine is even runn.g ahead of it's reputation as a paying proposition. Three carloads shipped recently to Fl Paso made handsome returns. Ore in the mine is becoming richer, some of it sssaying from S2 GOO to S3 ono ner ton. This richness has, however, led to trouble with the Mexican miners employed on the property and the end is not yet. For some time past Mir. Smith, the superintendent, suspected that everything was not as it should be, so he discharged a number of the men, but as the stealing continued he was obliged to discharge the whole lot and came here for a new force.

A PUT-UP JOB.

Jt ia evident that the attempt to com init the mining interes,s of the country to the changes in the federal laws recommended by the provisional com mittee of the late international mining congress was a conspiracy carefully planned. artistically engineered ana magnifcently knocked out One Of rhe chief adYocatss of the report Dis tered his tongue with the statement that the report had been approved by the mining journals of the country, previous to it's submission to the con- gress for adoption. This was lie. AS a matter of fact the mining journ- als were unable to obtain it. except un- der pledges of secrecy that prevented them from using its contents. They were not permitted to discuss it's pro visions and enlighten prospective del- egates as to its demerits.
 The editor of the Western Mining World endeavored to procure a copy of the report some months ago with view to discussing its recommenda- tions. He was informed that he could see the report if he would agree not to use it or discuss it through the col umns of this periodical. He thereup- on excused himself from looking at it, as his only object in posting himself on it's contents was to be better pre- pared to enlighten the public as to Its strong and weak features. Yet one of the leaders of the conspiracy had the infinite gall to declare that the report had been approved by the mining jour nals of the country!
 Investigation has convinced us that few, if any, of the large mining com- panies, or syndicates of capital inter ested in mining properties, were be hind this scheme to ruin the prospect or and bankrupt the small miner On the face of things it looks far more like an effort on the part of profession al men to so complicate mining laws as to promote litigation and thus in crease their business Lawyers and surveyors would be the chief benefici- aries if the federal laws were changed to correspond with the ideas of that smartalecky committee It is a mat ter of congratulation that but one del egate from Montana supported the provisional report. He was a news paper man who doesn't know the diff ference between a piece of free mill ing ere and dried sponge, and who was as much out of place in a mining congress as a horse fiddle in heaven Western Mining World

During the last three months The Republican has from issue to issue been adding to the scope of it's weekly edition, rounding out the mining de- partment so as to embrace all topics of interest to those engaged in that in- dustry, making it fully as useful as any of the class papers devoted exclu- sively to the subject The mining news from all sections of the territory is more complete than that furnished by any other paper.

CHANGE IN RANGE CONDITIONS

A new era in the cattle business of the ranch country is dawning. Texas is feeding livestock or shipping direct to Kansas feed lots, where corn is abundant and cheap. It costs too much, in time and money, to ship yearlings to Wyoming and Montana to pasture year or two and then go to Nebraska to feed. A shorter and more direct method has been inauguraled. Flocks of sheep and barbed wire fences are circumscribing the free ranges, so that great herds of cattle are too crowded for the best success. A change has come over the spirit of the cattle kings dream, and new meth ods are gradually coming in-methods of the farm rather than of the range, but practiced in large, free way suiN- ed to the genius of the broad plains and slopes of the great mountain coun- try. This change has been foreshad- owed for years, but has been rapid in the last year or two, and promises equal activity in the near future.

THE NEW DEPARTMENT.

It is to be hoped that the command able position of the international min ing congress relative to the creation of national bureau Of mines and min ing will bear fruit. The following resolutions adopted at Salt Lake fully cover the ground:
 Whereas, The mining interest pro- duces the raw material which makes manufacture and commerce possible. and is the foundation of national pros perity; and
 Whereas, The miner makes a hand to-hand fight with danger in the depths of the earth, by which the whole country profits; and
 Whereas, The difficulties and dan gers which surround him and the sci ent1fic and executive aid which he needs can be only understood and ap- preciated by one who has lived his lifs and shared his difficulties, privations and danger; and
 Whereas, The creation Of the de- partment of agriculture has already been of incalculable benefit to the az flcultural industry, while the mining lnoustry still languishes, a dependency or a department devoted to other in terests, and necs ssarily unable to un- derstand and appreciate it's needs: therefore, be it
 Resolved, By the international in ing congress. a. Salt Lake City assem- Died, that We do unanimously petition the congress of the United States to create a new department of mines and mining, whose purpose shall be to aid. develop and foster the mining industry or the United States by every influence within its reach; and further be it
 Resolved, That the president of this association IS hereby directed to ap- point such committee and take such action as shall bring this measure to the attention of every member of con gress, and to stand firm in it's support, without compromise of any nature un- til favorable action has been secured.

MUTTON PRICES ADVANCING.

The Chicago prices of sheep and lambs, as compared with those of a year ago, show a good advance, as fol lows: Coed to choice, then, $3.40@ 400; now, $4.25@4.50. Choice spring lambs, then, S525@5.40; now, $6.00@ 6.25.
 Recently the large receipts of spring lambs have caused material reduc- tion in prices, and n1any have besn common or inferior in quality. The run of grass sheep has hardly com menced yet. The improvement in quality of mutton within ten years ac- counts for the great enlargement of consumption and for the increase in prices. The breeding and feeding for mutton may be considered thorough ly established industry in this country.

An ESPECIALLY Sad DEATH.


RIPPoN, w. VA, Jan %, 1898.
Dear ar. Haines:-I attended the funeral
of Miss Edith Hulver Sunday morning. at 10
o'clock, ut the old Richardson homestead,
row the residence of Mr.. John HulVer, at
Gaylord, Va. The funeral was preached by
the Rev. Dr. Hough, of the N. E. Church
South. Interment in Edge-Hin Cemetery,
Charles Town.
The Richardson residence is eminently stu
ated on a beautiful hill, and looks Ike it
might have dated back into the antediIuyian
ages, and have no doubt but that 1t has wit
messed many gay scenes in the past; but this
morning the sun is shining beautifully through
the boughs of the shade trees aud the birds
are chirping merrily, but in the rooms, on the
porch aud in the yard, are weeping friends.
What does this mean ? 1t means that the
lovely daughter of Mr.. John Hulver is lying
cold in death. 1t means that one tonight at
the festal board will be absent. 1t means that
a daughter who had just begun to take q
mothers place is gone. It means that in the
social gatherings Edith viii no more be seen.
1t means that a father, sister aud brothers
hearts are aching, 1t means that Edith has
answered the summons of her master. 1t
means that she has gone to the one who says,
Il am watching and waiting for you." 1t
means that Edith has paid the debt; we all
have to pay. 1t means that though she suf,
fered for two long weeks as no mortal tongue
can tell, she is now at rest. It means tina. the
hand of the ever faithful Mrs. Il. viii never
again stroke her pale brow.
Mr.. Hough said that in his forty-four years
of ministry he did not remember case that
appeared so sad. He said it was mystery,
that one in the bloom of life should be taken
SO suddenly yet he said many things are
mysteries. The grass that grows at our feet,
and the rose that blooms by the waYside, are
mysteries that he would not pretend to ex-
plain. Yours, etc. l.. NJ. L.
