Lucien Great house, his uncle, who was killed at the head of an Illinois regiment during the last year of the civil war and was bre- vetted a brigadier-general before he died or before his death was known. The de- ceased had been in bad health for some time In fact, he was brought nome sick from a Colorado ranch several months ago and never fully recovered Globe-Democrat.
 Lucien G. Smith for several years past was a resident of this county, where he was engaged in the sheep raising indus try his headquarters being at Seligman. He was a quiet, unaSsuming citizen and his death is regretted by all who knew him.-Coconino Sun-

POSSIBLY EARLY ENDING.
Going Our Way, With No
 Apparent Opposition.

New York, June 15.-(Special) 1.-The course at the theatre of war gives a steady accession of strength of financial 1 interests in all departments. It is now evident that military and naval. opera tions are to be conducted upon a method and a scale calculated to bring about the earliest possible end to the war In a comparatively few days we shall have q military force in Cuba and Porto Rico of 100000 well armed, vigorous and en- thusiastic men. These forces, backed by the best vessels of our fleet, will soon measure their strength with the poorly fed. poorly equipped and imperfectly trained forces of Spain. The result can not be doubtful. Already, Cervera's fleet has been deprived of it's power, and the bland Admiral may at any moment re- inforce our navy through the involuntary transfer of his vessels. The powerful system Of Notifications at Santiago de Cuba is nearly already in our hands, to serve as a basis of operations against the rear Of Havana, in conjunction with the guerilla forces of the insurgents.
 In this part of the war programme also there seems to be no reason to count upon the possibility of our failure. Unless Spain should prudently prove willing to make a satisfactory peace in advance, the great struggle around the port and city of Havana will be the next step in the war programme. If it should prove, as rumored at this writing, that the SpaniardS have got three more war vessels into that port, that can have no threatening bearing on our operations of attack of the enemy's ships have been more of the enemy's ships have been bottled-up .out of our way and to await capture or destruction at our pleasure. In all probability, the struggle at Ha- vana may prove a bloody and possibly also a protracted one; but it cannot be doubtful as to the outcome. With un- limited forces at our command; with our ability to maintain a siege on land and a close blockade at sea: with complete expulsion of the Spaniards from the pos sibility of reinforcing either their fleet or their army; and with starvation star ing the enemy in the face,-yictory is the only possible issue of this next phase Of the conflict.
 It has been maintained by some that the rights of Spain in the Philippines have not yet been forfeited, because the United States have not completed ther' occupation of the Islands. In the event of Spain trying to transfer the islands to France or any other government. this might easily have proved dangerous question: The moment, however, that Spain transfers the capital to us. we ac- uuire her entire possessions in the Phil ippines. Thus history is being made at a very rapid rate in both the Pacific and the Atlantic and the United States IS making acquisitions of an international significance which two months ago we had not dreamed of. z

INTERESTED IN ARIZONA.
Destined to Become One of the Great
 Western Sections.

Colonel John P. Martin, ex-state commissioner of public works of Ohio. was in the city yesterday for a few hours renewing his acquaintance with old friends. MT. Martin enjoys the reputation of being one of the most sagacious, conservative and highly honorable gentlemen in Ohio and also has an army of friends in Indiana who always stand ready to indorse without inQury or hesitation anything having bis approval. His wide connections as public contractor have brought him in intimate contact with capital ists all over the country and there are very few men who have earned and hold closer personal relationship with and the absolute confidence of so wide a circle of business men from California to New York than our gen. ial friend from Ohio. With boundless energy, universal popularity, perfect loyalty and thorough integrity, the colonel is never in need of supporters who will follow him to the Hast ditch" in any undertaking which receives his personal attention and indorsement
 Colonel Martin says that the war spirit in Ohio at the top notch and it's patriotic citizens, who are willing to go to the front, are so numerous that the second call for 7500O troops could easily be supplied from that state alone.
 MT. Martin is now president ot tie South Bisbee Copper company of Bis bee. Ariz. He talked very entertain ingly upon this important branch of mining and spoke in the most glowing terms of the developments of this now famous region and the energy Of it's people. He says Arlzona is clearly des- tined to be one of the greatest sec tiOns of the United States and as a pro- ducer of mineral wealth will soon stand at the very head of the list. This he claims is particularly true of cop per, which presents by far the most profitable and certain form of mining investment attracting the attention of capital. He says the output for 1897 of W. A. Clark's United Verde mines, near Prescott, was over $2,800,000 and that of the Copper Queen, at Bisbee, which is owned by ex-Vice President Levi F. Morton and Phelps, Dodge & Co.,, over s3,000,000.
 The South Bisbee company owning over one thousand acres, and of the same formation as the Copper Queen, has been pronounced by experts to be of equal importance and value. Prof. A. A. Hauser of Vienna, representing the largest copper consumers in the world, after a two months inspection of MT. Mortin's properties at Bisbee,
 has just closed an option for large interest in the stock of the South Bis l bee company and sailed on Tuesday : Of this week for Berlin to close the purchase with his principals.
 i In addition to the South Bisbee com.
 pany MT. Martins individual holdings
 which are also at Bisbee, immediately
 join and surround the claims of the ia.
 nous Copper Queen company and
 cover over 1.400 acres in area and are
 believed to represent the greatest un- developed copper property in the world

z D. m.-Grand parade.

i p. m.-Grand parade. | 8 p. m.-Oration and music at city
 hall plaza
 1 g p. m.-Fireworks. Prizes will be offered for the best
 decorated ladies wheel, the best deco
 rated gentlemen's wheel and the best
 decorated business house. The grand
 parade will be made up of the national
 guard, the G. A. R., bicycles, f1remen,
 float bearing the goddess of liberty, another containing representatives of the fOrty-five states and floats repre- senting business houses. The bicycle races promise to make up one of the best meets ever held in Phoenix. The main object of the committee on arrangements is to give fast races and in return give good prizes. The riders are training every day and ride all the way from three to ten miles. The novice race should have a big entry list, as that race is for riders that have never won prize in a race. The boys race will also have big entry list as there are quite a number of young riders in Phoenix.
 The open races are to be the most exciting of the day, as there is a doubt as to who is the best rider and no doubt it will be settled on the Fourth of July.
 Besides the fast races there will be some novelty races that will be worth going a long way to see, such as fat mems races and bald-headed races The track is to be in excellent shape. The programme is to be: One mile novice. Half mile, for boys 15 years and un- der
 One mile open. Half mile open.
 Two mile handicap. Two or more novelty races.
 Entry blanks will be issued in few days.

BEER AND TOBACCO TAX.
Effect in Phoenix of the War Revenue
 Law.

There are many ways in which one may serve his country in time of war without actually exposing himself to the fire Of the enemy. By drinking beer and consuming tobacco, for in stance, under the provisions of the war revenue bill which became a law last Monday.
 The effect of the measure has all ready made itself felt in Phoenix. The following telegram received by Melczer Bros. is self explanatory:
 San Francisco. June 13 Melczer Bros. Phoenix.
 Increased tax of one dollar in effect from midnight June 13. You will be re- uuired to furnish sworn statement beer sn barrels on hand that rate and will have to pay additional dollar on each barrel We advanced all prices one dol lar from yesterday morning.
 c. B. STONE.
 San Francisco Breweries. Limited
 All other alcoholic sIimulants are assessed 1n various degrees. The wholesale men will probably put up the price to cover the increased tax and the saloon keeper will likely make the contribution to the war fund. They are confronted by several obstacles. The raise is not sufficient so warrant. q raise from to 10 cents glass, and the scent glasses cannot be made any smaller and meet the approval of thirsty customers.
 No sympathy, however, need be wasted on the retailers. They say they have sold beer at cents a glass that cost Sl6 barrel. The new rev enue will not raise the cost above $13.
 The tax will have the effect of shut ting off the trade in bottled wine of the cheaper grades. It is required that every pint bottle shall bear 1-cent stamp. every quart bottle 2-cent stamp. This will add A cents to grade of ciaret for instance now sold at g a dozen. Wine in bulk is not af- fected. Tie tax falls more heavily on the tobacco trade. so that there will be either raise in price by retailers or else reduction of the size of cigars and plugs of tobacco. The cigarette has been nearly legislated out of existence, but retailers say they would not care if it had been quite iegfslated away. The trade under the most favorable circumstances has been unsatisfactory.
