Old ON HEARSAY.

The Wayfarer was not around, hence
he cannot truthfully say that he did
not get the following story at second
hand
Two trained nurses beard at the
same place on Washington street and
room together. On Sunday morning,
about o'clock. one of them was sent
for with a request that she hurry To- a
certain place. as there was urgent need
of her services.
One Of the first requirements OF a
trained nurse Is that she look neat.
and If she has been at all favored by
nature. she must needs look pretty.
Every young woman, no matter what
her vocation may be. has a certain
amount of vanity.
The first name Of the young nurse
summoned was Hope. She thought
she was making a hurried toilet, but
her roommate took a different view
of it.
you had better be quick, or your
patient will die of Hope deferred" said
this roommate, and the pun had the
desired effect

SHE MEANT WELL.


Out ON Washington street, so the
Wayfarer learns, there resides a little
girl who recently distinguished herself
without intending TO do so. Her mo
Their was getting her ready for Sunday
school. While she was curling che 1T
lie ones hair and putting other finish
ing touches on her toilet, she noticed
that there was q continuous juvenile
mumbling and muttering.
What i'm the world are you say
ing?" she inquired.
"Oh. only what we have to say at
Sunday school," the tot replied
"Tell me what it IS, commanded
the mother.
The pride of the household straight
ened herself up, raised her eyes rever-
emily. and said
"The people are crazy. oh, Lord! Yea,
all the people are crazy
Surely, they don't teach you TO say
such things as That at Sunday SCHOOL,
exclaimed the mother, who was
shocked.
"Yes'm that's what the teacher told
us TO say insisted the child.
IL believe that the child Is about
right in her declaration" remarked the
father. who dropped his paper long
enough to take part in the conversa-
ton. There are certainly a great
many persons in the world who are
crazy"
"But, dear, there must be some mis-
take" answered his wife Surely
Miss Blank would never teach the chill
dren to say such a thing as that If
thought so. our child should never go
to her class again. To settle the mat

THE ISSUE OF ANNUITY GOODS.

The farce is being re.enacted at San Carlos this week of issuing annuity goods to the Indians, on the heel of winter, when the breath of spring is in the air, and after one of the most pro- longed and severe storm periods in tue history of this section of Arizona, during which there must have been, of necessity, much suffering among the red wards of tho government. from exposure and lack of food.
 If this were an exceptional instance of government negligence and improvi- dence some excuse might be offered, but it has been the invariable custom since the White Mountain reservation was established to issue annuity goods, intended for winter service, in the spring of the year. The issue includes blankets, shawls, fanel skirts, bolt fanel, woolen socks, hats, shoes, etc, WulCu uO bOODGE itCclNeu tUHU tle Indians hasten to the white settlements on the borders of the reservation and dispose of the goods given them by a beneficent government, for trihe of their cost. Fine fanel is exchanged yard for yard for six cent calico; woolen shswls of excellent quality are sold at sl.50 and S2; shoes, 50 cts. and D cts. pair, and so on through the list. The articles being unreasonable, the Indians can not be blamed for improvidence, so much as the government.
 The proper time to distribute such goods is iu November, but even so there are many articles included in the issue which are entirely worthless to the Indians, and represent large amount of money thrown away by the govern ment, with the mistaken idea thn. the

The people of the territory, save a few office holders and goldoug suppor- ters of the Arizona administration, gave no heed to tue governors proclama- ton declarating Tuesday, Jan. 25, R holiday to commemorate the discovery of gold in California. evidently viewing the proclamation AS absurd and traing
 MeCord probably IS not aware that the early history and development of Ari- zona is iusepGra,cly associated wi.h silver mining, which industry his polit ical masters destroyed, and the most prosperous period since the settlement of the territory was while silver mining was as it height. Gold was mined in North Carolina long before California was thought of as mining field, and in New Mexico, the Ortiz nliue, recent ly leased by Senator Elkius and R. C.
 Kerns to Thos. A. Edison and New York capitalists upou valuation of S1 ,5G0, GOO, is reputed tue oldest gold mine in the United States. The Ortiz grant comprises 54 coo acres, and the new company proposes to work the ores by new process, the invention of Edison, who will also introduce it in Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas. Here will be another chance for our governor to declare 6 holiday. But, perhaps. the goldbugs are fearful least Edlson's new process may So cheapen and increase the production of gold that it will fall in price below silver, which they so much despise. When McCordism and goldbueism are de- throned the people will make holiday that will be memorable, and will not wait for proclamation to be issued.

The exposure to all sorts and condi- tions of weather that a lumbarman is called upon to endure in the camps often produces severe colds which, if not promptly checked, result in con- gestion or pneumonia. Mir. J. o.

The Phoenix Republican in column editorial, exhibiting unmistaksble symp- toms of the rabies, lectures tue SILVER BELT for its criticism of McCord aud his methods which are bringing Arizo- na into disrepute, and piling up an in- debtedness by legalizing of illegal bond issues which the territory will not be able to discharge during the present generation. The Republican contro- verts our statement that the territory pays poorly, and sometimes not all, for publications in the territorial press. The Republican doubtless gets paid well because it is the organ of the ad- ministration and plays but one tune, but the SILVER BELT has always main- tained its political independence and is therefore not in good standing with tue peanut politicians at the territorial capi- tai. As We stated, McCord occasionally sends us request for the publication of a notice for which there Is no money available, but the Republican and the other collared press get tho cream of the territorial printing. To prove the assertion that the SILVER BELT has not been paid for its service to the terri tory, we refer the Republican editor to the journals of the Seventeenth leglsls- ture, and to the action of the house on c. B. S7, to reimburse Hackney & Hamill for copies of the SILVER BELT furnished to territorial institutions The bill passed the council by vote of 6 to 5, Mir. Dorsn, one of the Me Cord stripe of politicians, voting against it, (which he afterwards denied) and although the bill was moderate and less than the territory actually owed ns, it was defeated in the house. If Governor McCord wants any pro- clamations published in the SILVER BELT the cash must accompany the CODY.

REPRESENTATIVE MINING MEN?

The Republican, in support of it's assertion that the late mining conven- tion was composed of representative mining men, names: NJ. J Egan, lawyer; Wm. Herring, lawyer; f J. Edwards, lawyer; Dr. G. w. Vickers, office holder; W. $. Adsms, printer and publisher, and Geo w. Cheney, (,he only practical mining man in the outti,) md asks: Twill the SILVER BEET care to say that none of the seu- tlemep are capable mining men," or thnt all of the big companies in the territory were not relresented?"
 Yes, we will say that only one of the six gentlemen mentioned hy the Re- publican Is "capable mining man, '' and there was no "big" company ad- equaiely represented except tue Con gress. by E. B Gage, and he is a ''rootor" for the McCord sdministra- tion. Neither the Oll Dominion nor United Globe copper companies of Globe were represented. Further more. we read a letter today from cue of the prominent delegates in Me Cords mining convention, who says, ''The SILVER BELT had the miners convention put up right. It was nothing more than scheme to pro- mote the McCord administration, put up by MoCord and other peanut poh- ticians.

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 3, 1898.
ARIZONA'S MINING INDUSTRY.

Mining, while it has been the chief factor in Arizona's prosperity, has re- csived little, if any, aid from other sources. The prospector has been the avant courier of civilization in the West, and all other industries have fol- lowed in the wake of mining and fat tened upon it. Railroads are mere ad- juncts to those resources of the coun- try through which they are built, and aside from mining there has been little to warrant their construction in Ari- zona. Furthermore, there is not an agricultural community in the territory that could survive without the support of the mining districts, which are their chief markets; and looking more closely into Arizona's industrial life we find that merchandising and the trades, and even the professions, wait upon the prosperity of the mining industry,
 When we consider these facts we can better understand how it was that Ari- zona escaped the financial and indus. trial paralysis which for the past sev. eral years affected so disastrously al- most every portion of the Union. It is not alone profitable to indulge in retrospection for the satisfaction which comes from recounting the progress made in past years in the mining in- dustry in Arizona. The record if carefully studied will be found to con tain also much that is instructive, will reveal the causes of failure and show how they may be avoided in the future, and indicate through what channels, or by what agencies, greater progress may be achieved.
 Arizona is practically an unexplored field for mining operations, and its great wealth of minerals and the possi- bility of their profitable conversion is realized by few even of those who are engaged in mining in the territory to- day. It is the last great division of the United States, possessing impor- tant mineral resources that remains un- developed, and capital is beginning to appreciate the fact that it offers the most promising field for investment. During the past two years there was more inquiry for mines in Arizona than in any five years previous, and the investors were largely seasoned mining men, and companies possessing ample capital, operating in other sec tions of the West, and who invested in Arizona after careful investigation Of her mineral resources, convinced that this territory would ere many years be the scene of great activity and pros perity in this especial field.
 The expansion of mining in Arizona must of necessity be gradual, for the reason chiefly that the territory is de- fcient iu railroads, and especially in competitive lines, which alone will in sure reasonable freight rates and cost of supplies, which in many districts, and for all but the highest grades of ores, are now prohibitive. The invest ment of millions of dollars annually in new enterprises, and the discovery and development of great mines will stim- ulate railroad construction, which will insure Arizona's growth and pros. perity.

No more important item of news has been published recently than the an- nouncement by the New York Herald, from it's correspondent at Managua, that the United States Nicaragua canal commission had cabled to Washington the unanimous opinion that the canal is practicable and can be built for less than three quarters of the original esti- mate. They calculate that from four and half to six and hall years will be required to build it. The Maritime Canal company, anticipating favora- ble report from the commission as to the feasibility of the project, and of subsequent favorable action by con- gress, is reported to have men on the ground prepared to begin the work of construction immediately. There is always more or less guess work in esti- mating the cost and time required for the construction of such vast enter prise, and it may be that the report Is over sanguine, but it IS nevertheless encouraging to the early commence ment of work on this great waterway which has been the dream of engineers and of nations for almost century. The importance of a canal across the isthmus, built under American aus pices, can scarcely be overes,imsted for the development of United States commerce, and especially for the pro lection of our vast interests on the Pa ciflc coast.

Indians are being benetitted. If the policy of issuing annuity goods at this season of the year is to be continued, the list of articles should be revised, and had better comprise sun shades, material for gee strings, bright colored handkerchiefs and calico for turbans, gossamer coats and palnlesf fans.
 The absurdity of this annuity goods business has been repeatedly spoken of in these columns, aud brought to the attention of former administrations ut Washington, yet no attention has been paid to it. No blame attaches to the agent at San Carlos or to the officer experimenting the issue, but wholly to the Interior departments at Washington, and it appears to be useless to expect any reform in that ponderous and con ventionsl branch of the government
