IMPROMPTU GUNS.
One Hundred Made From Handy Trees
 Did Good Work.

A confederate veteran who fought at Fort Blakely read the other day of the dummy guns used by the Spaniards around Santiago de Cuba to humbug the American troops.
 "Ah," said he, that reminds me of old times. It also reminds me that wooden guns have been known to serve better purposes than making believe.
 Wooden guns did deadly work be- fore Fort Blakely. The Yankees fixed them up, and they shot just as well as if they had been manufactured of iron. The opposing lines were 800 yards apart. The confederates were behind the walls of the fort, and the federals were strongly entrenched.
 General Canby, the Yankee com mander, was without artillery. What did he do but manufacture one hun dred mortars from black gum trees. Black gum trees grew everywhere in the vicinity. He bored them out, put iron bands around them and fired g. inch shells furnished by Farragut's s fleet. The lines were so close that light charges sufficed, and the extempo- raneous weapons did all that was asked of them"-New Orleans Times Democrat

A TROUT FISHING FRoG.N

A very singular incident was brott ht
 to my notice during recent visit&o Lake Vrynwy in North Wales. A year or two ago the breeding ponds were being cleaned out, and when there was but little water remaining the man irl charge-from whom heard the story observed a peculiar looking fish swimming about. It was captured with the aid of a landing net, and proved to be a trout Of nearly half pound in weight. Clasped firmly around it's back and shoulders was a live frog of ordinary size; the belly of the frog rested on the back of the trout, just behind the gills, and it's legs were ex- tended round and under the fish, grip ping it closely. Considerable force had to be exerted in order to separate the pair, when the frog hopped away and the trout died few seconds later. The scales of the trout were dark and dis colored where this novel old man of the sea had rested, tracing out distinct ly it's shape; so it is probable that the fish had been troubled with this un- usual incumbrance for several days. The habits of frogs are peculiar in many respects, and students of natural

THE BOND QUESTION

The people of Arizona are well posted on the bond legalizing deal and county and territorial democratic platforms have all announced it.-Prescott Cour- fer
 The people who are well posted con- corning the bond matter are not those who depend upon the Courier and other democratic papers for their in formation. The Courier has from the first ignored the facts about the bonds It has persistently supplied misinfor- nation concerning them for reasons that are not difficult to fathom The history of the bonds in question puts the Courier and good many demo- crats of Yavapai county in bad light. That is why the Courier dismisses our invitation to Colonel Wilson to tell how the bonds attained their alleged il- legality, with the statement that the people of Arizona fare well posted concerning them. The Courier dare not print the true story of the bond transaction. If it should do SO it's readers might ask why it had lied so consistently for the last three years.

AFRAID OF ERODE.

We print an article from the Prescott get a fair idea of lthe state of mind of the Yavapai 16 to 1ers. Colonel Bro- dies formal telegram of acceptance was printed yesterday in The Republi- can. Two days previous we had seen a telegram saying that he would accept the nomination AS to W. c. Bashford, we cannot speak definitely, but in view of the Courier's misstatements con- corning Colonel Brodie it is likely that he also has been placed in false light by the champion of 'sthe common peo- pie" Read between the lines the fol- lowing betrays absolute fear of Brodie and Bashford:
 According to seemingly authentic information at hand, W. c. Bashford, republican nominee from this county for the legislative council, has declined to accept the honor CD. It also ap- pears hat the convention. of gold bug gers acted on his nomination, as they did in the case of Colonel Brodie-both intended victims being in blissful ig- norance of the effort to sacrifice them on the single standard altar, Colonel Brodie being in New York at the time and MT. Bashford being, out in the mountains developing double stand ard mine. This places our republican friends in rather peculiar and embar- rassirg predicament, with the headless body and tail of their county ticket Hopping around on the ground like a beheaded chicken and the head of their territorial ticket gasping for the breath Of life on the ragged edge of uncer- tainty of Colonel Brodie's acceptance of the nomination for delegate on the single standard Murphy endorsed
 ticket. For months before their con- vention the single standard organs were mentioning various prominent

s The sixteen to one" papers of Ari- zona are doing a great injury to the territory by their attempts to create the impression that Arizona has no profitable gold or copper mines. To listen to them the outsider without knowledge of the facts might gain the impression that since silver ceased to be a profitable product the mining in- terests of the territory had fallen into decay. Fortunately. it is known in the great copper markets of the coun- try that Arizona is forging to the front as producer of copper, with the chances in favor of it leading all the other copper regions in a few years. Only last Saturday The Republican printed statement of prominent New York state banker that Arizona was certain to outrank Montana as a copper producing region in the near future. The copper industry has beer developed since silver mining ceased, and experts know that it is now but in its infancy. Gold is being mined in great quantities, and there are many camps that are famous as gold pro- ducers Now that the campaign has opened we shall hear from the free silverite organs about the closing down of the silver camps and precious little about the prosperous gold camps that are to be found in all parts of Arizona. It can truthfully be said of the free silver craze that it has made more pre- varicators than any other craze that ever ran it's course in this country, Che greenback craze not excepted.

JOURNAL-MINER NOTES.

There are only two parties this year. One is the republican party, the party of progress ever since its birth, and the other the democratic party, the party of obstruction and fault finding. The former is now divided and enthusiastic; the latter is worked up over internal dissensions and lacking in enthusiasm.
 Our democratic friends are just now engaged in a frantic effort to convince Colonel Brodie that he is a democrat and not a republican at all, and hence cannot accept the nomination for dele gate. Of course, they are just now very nice and sweet to him in the hopes that he will not assist in their defeat.
 Democrats who expect to be landed into ofica this year on the back of that gold bug" shout, will be disappointed. Voters are not so densely ignorant as some democratic orators and writers affect to believe.

Cervera, the man of wealth, the man

Into Santiago harbor it was neither luck
nor guesswork that guided him. He
knew where he was going, for he was
moving over waters as familiar to him
as the waters of Hampton Roads are
to Schley. 1t Is an interesting coinci-
dence that he served in Cuban waters
in command of the gunboat Santa Lucia
throughout the great part of the war
of 1S68-7S and that Rear Admiral Monte
roIa, his brother officer, who was at
that time in command of the Tornado,
is at present the port admiral of Ha-
vana The Tornado is the warship
which pursued and took the Virginius
prisoners, an event which nearly
plunged the United States into war
with Spain at that time.
Cervera is the ranking commanding
rear admiral In Spain's present naval
operations, but while he is within the
Cuban jurisdiction he is directly under
the orders of Capt. Gen. Blanco, who
by virtue of his office is commander-in-
chief of all the Spanish forces, both
naval and military, in the Antilles,
which comprise Cuba and Puerto Rico.
Rear Admiral Cervera was born Feb
ruary IS, 1885,. and consequently is SO
years of age. He looks much younger,
being possessed of fine physique and
great energy.
