IMPORTANT MINING DEAL
The Black Diamond Copper
 Property Bonded.

Mir. '. o. Bagge of New York, whos. r-ssencs here was recently mentioned in :hs PRosrECToR, has succeeded in bonding the famous Black Diamond group of copper mines, and will commence operations shortly upon same. The Black Diamond has long been known as possessing the largest showing of copper of any property in southern Arizona, and there is no question that it will very soon be added to the bullion produc- CTS, as it is the attention of Mir. BsgGe and bis associates to thoroughly sx- plsre the immense ledge and to erect smelters and machinery ct an early date. This property, owned by Hud- son ( Pidwell, shows . very high sv. craze in copper, exceeding 20 per cent, bssidss its gold and silver. The crop pings stand thirty feet above grass rosts, and c hundred feet wide and over two thousand feet in length on the surface. The deepest opening SO far is . shaft ot lsss than q hundred feet in depth. There is considerable high grade ore on the dumps, notice ably of peacock copper, which closely apprsximates native copper.
 The new owners are to bo copgrat- nlsted upon their acquisition of this property, the full working of which will rebound to the benefit of the surrounding country. The Drsgeon copper belt is forging te tbe front as the foremost in the Territory.

ARIZUNA'S RESOURCES.
A Vast Field For Profitable
 Exploration.

Arizona is practically an unexplored field for mining operations, ard ln great wealth Of minerals and the pos sibility of their profitable conversion is realized by few even of those who ars engaged in mining in the Terri t ny today. It is the last great li:ision Of the United States, possess ing important mineral resources that remain undeveloped, and capital is beginning to appreciate the fact that
 oHsrs the most prsmi.ing field Ter investment. The Globe Belt make he oeservatien that during the past two yesrs there was more inquiry for mines in Arizona than in any five years previous, and the inve tors were largely seasoned mining men, and companies possessing ample caPit,l, operating ip other sections of the west. and who invested in Arizona after careful investigation of her min eral resources, convinced that this Territory would ere many years be the scene of great activity and pros perity in this especial fold.
 The expansion of mining in Arizona must of necessity be gradual, for the reason chiefly that the Territory is deficient in railroads, and especially in competitive lines, which alone will insure reasonable freight rates and cost Of supplIes. which in many dis tricte, and for ell but the highest grades of ores, are now prshibi,ive. The investment of millions of dollars annually in new enterprises, and the discovery and development of great mines wi:l stimulate railroad con- structiop, which will insure Arizona's growth and prosperity.

One of the best repartees dR record is that of Foote, the actor. Dining with some friends, a heated dispute arose between himself and a young nobleman. The latter sought to dis parage Foote by asking him what his father was.
 "A tradesman," said Foote.
 "Then, sir, it's pity he did not make you one"
 And. pray, let me ask. what was your father, my lord?"
 My father, Mir. Foote, was gentle man."

The most promising feature of the future of mining lies in the constantly decreasing cost of treatment of ores. The many largs plants spe- eially designed for the trestment of low grade ores, which have been erected during the recent past, justify the belief that the mineral output of the west will fer the coming years continue its ratio of increase, as shown by the last few years record sf production.

 Mrs. Jas. Campbell and daughter have returned from thsir California trip.
 Prof. Douglass and Supt. Ben Will liams have gOue to Nacssari on busi- ness.
 Mrs. Gee. Umberhann was m ir- coming passenger today returning from an extended visit east. Mining hsreabouts is booming. Sev- srsl companies 1t is said are in cOurss of incubation, and thus more mines will be thrown on the market and properties ID this section developed. Our wsll-known liveryman, E. 8. Adams, ia making some nprovsments at his corral. Improvements are the order of the day about town and noted sn every hand. Let the good work go on.
 The Punch and Judy combination which WAS ct the county seat recently has arrived in Bisbse, and will open for business as soon as he finds ground enough to locate for one or two nights.
 Parties from Tonbstens coming to Bisbee must get up at 4 .. n. to make connections with the A. 4 s. E. train. The prospect is not very inviting to the many of eur townsmsn who travel between the two points, but we must grin snd bear it.
 A Respondent individual y.stsrday came near shLtiling s6 this mortal coil in sn attempt ts commit suicide. He was prevented in time by friend who opiaed his intentions. The mel. sncholy young man was in- duced instead to imbibe quite freely of Bisbee firewstsr, and it is needless to gay forgot she past entirely aad was put in c most hilarious mood. Bisbse bug juice has wonderful effect sometimes.
 There is considerable railroad talk here, aud it is not unlikely . matter seriously contemplated by its project ors. The road is to run from Cochiss station on the s. F., through Pearce and oh to Bisbes. The grading for such road, generally one of the heaviest expense in building, would be the least in this case, as the entire distance is as level as floor. It is understood .urvey is to bs or has been mAds fer the South Bi;bee Mining Co.,, of which J. P. Martin Is at the head, and developments are awaited. IT e building of such c road would mean much for this county.

toned IN Honolulu correspondence
printed in the Standards edition for
last Wednesday. II wa. there recited
that Moran had been court martialed
and sentenced 10 a prison term OF two
years with dishonorable discharge
from the service. Moran is pretty well
known in Butte. and he is pleasantly
spoken Of by those who are in his cir
Gle OF acquaintance. He seems to be in
pretty hard lines: there is a feeling that
his punishment Is unduly severe. In
deed. for whatever motive. he appears
to have been selected for exemplary
punishment.
OF course. the Standard cannot pre-
sumo to pass judgment on the merit OF
any OF the proceedings in the way OF
discipline Of the members Of the regi-
incentive simply get the news from
distant sources. which are the only
ones available. and this news IL gives
to the public. In the letter printed this
morning Moran states his side OF the
case. and to this statement he IL enti-
tied. The Standard has eliminated
parts Of his letter because they are
rather severe i'm personal reference 10
matters and people in the regiment
and in many quarters they would be
deemed an unfairly partisan opinion.
Enough, however. is quoted from Mo-
rams letter TO state his case from his
own point of view.

Against the Canal.

The Nicaraguan canal. IL built. carrot

are towed across by steam tugs, there be-
ing no wind of which they could avail
themselves. AZ a military work the ca
nal would prove a weakness instead OF
adding strength to this country, for IT
would require a strong squadron at each
end TO support II in time of war, and on
army along its course to protect its locks

through. American interests at home and
abroad will be better served by internal
improvement than by any transisth MAN
