Elastic bracelets that open at touch of spring just far enough to permit one to pass ones hand through, and then close firmly round the wrist, are new, pretty and in no danger, of being lost. They are of gold and come in a variety of handsome designs Some are in scrolls, others in beautiful en- twined rings, each one studded with single pearl, ruby or emerald As watch bracelets they are excellent as they stay in one position instead of endangering the watch itself or it's time keeping virtues by constant slip ping up and down on the arm

 send More warehouses are needed. The American occupation cannot lightly be cut short, and meanwhile the Americans need all sorts of American comforts.
 By all odds the most interesting things in the harbor now are the Mer- rimac and the Reina Mercedes. Of the Merrimac only the topmasts and the top of the stack are visible, showing that she was sunk in the waters of the channel if she did not block it. The Reina Mercedes lies on the bank of the channel with her deck tilted to the view of passing steamships and the arms of Spain holding their nose out of water on her figurehead. Relic hunt CTS already overrun her. On Sunday several eXcursionists sailed down the bay to look at her, several Spanish wo- men, or wives of consuls among them, laughing and groping their way along her bulwarkS

THE KLONDYKE.

The gold fields of the Klondyke which occupied so much attention in the papers six months ago. have been almost entirely overshadowed by the war. Yet active work has been going forward in the northern Eldorado, and the results of last seasons operations are beginning to come out, in the shape of shipments of gold dust and nuggets. While the output was fair the season so far has not been equal to the most sanguine predictions made last year. Still, the amount of gold that has been received is very consid- erable. Of the phenomenal richness of these gold deposits there can be no question. also that they are spread over large area of territory. On the other hand, it seems to be established that the proportion of paying claims to those which have, not proved remun- erative is quite small, and this is rot at all surprising. considering that de- signing persons have deliberately stalk ed out great tracts of land where they had not the slightest idea of finding gold, but simply intended to use them as bait to catch suckers. In some cases these people have been sur prised to find claims located on the side of hill turn out to be really rich in gold, after they had disposed of them to some supposed victim. In many cases, however, the claims are absolutely worthless. Consequently, those who think of investing in Klon- dyke claims should act with much cau- tion.
 What is true in regard to investors is also true as to those who go up to the Klondyka without means. hoping to make a stake. Dawson is reported to be jammed full of men out of occu- patton and with slight prospect of ob- taining any at remunerative rates. wages having fallen to a point which leaves little margin after paying the exorbitant cost Of living It is prob able that. from henceforth mining in the Klondyke and surrounding coun- try will settle down to more business like methods, the work being carried on by companies well provided with means and under experienced guidance. At the same time we shall undoubtedly hear Of new and rich strikes from time to time for it is not to be supposed that the section that hitherto has been prospected under such difficulties con- talns all the rich deposits in that re- g1on.-Jerome Mining News.

 Jerome Mining. News.
 The Copper Queen Mining company at Bisbee has put in machinery for the
 annihilation of the microbe infestfng 1 the water used by the employees. The water is put through process of dis tillation, then pumped into tanks to cool. The water is also placed at the disposal of the public free of charge. The Copper Queen company has put in blower for blast to the converters that gives ten horse power to the square inch.
 l It is noticeable that the most sub stantial and liberal deals have been made where the most and best devel- opment work has been done, says the Jerome Mining News. Among the properties lately bonded to responsible parties is the St. Peter Martin group. The gentlemen who own this promising group of copper fclaims have continuously kept up the work of development, and the result is that they now have the brightest of prospects for the sale of their prop erty at such a price that their inde- pendence so far as money matters are concerned is assured Work on this property will be commenced in a short time. & Down in the free gold belt near Cherry creek in Yavapai county the ! Etta group is producing an abundance of pay ore, and from a depth which proves that the ores in the Cherry creek district go down. The ten stamp mill belonging to this property i is pounding ore day and night, and re- port says that the mill capacity will be increased. The owners of this group are doing the work themselves. They had almost abandoned the property for years, when couple of years ago it was leased and successfully worked by Joseph L. Giroux, who released because of the high price asked for it. Other parties have since made the mine pay. and after the last lease expired, the owners continued the work and are now receiving excellent returns.

HOW INHABITANTS TOOK
 TfsE PROCLAMATION
Read on Street Corners and Gener- ally Approved-Ofnoials Pleased That They Are 10 Keep Their Jobs-Speedy Return of Trade to Santiago.

Santiago, July 26.-When the pink placards containing the Spanish trans lation cf President McKinley's procla- nation were posted on the street cor ners the Spanish residents of Santiago were among the most interested per users. Ejacu1ations and criticisms were heard from their lips. Such of the proclamation as was general, relating to the protection of private property and the churches, they approved. The announcement that the Spanish civil government was to continue in effect they approved, too, very visibly. Not the least pleased undoubtedly were the fat officials themselves, who have qua vered in their lazy boots at the thought Iof a Cuban upheaval. That customs, duties, fees were to go on as before was too good to believe. The mere idea so delighted the domainiere that he offered without delay to share the receipts of the port with the American governor. American officials at the palace instanced this to prove the Spanish good will Foreign residents,
 
 others-declare that the generosity was not all so generous as it looked. The customs receipts in times of open commerce have been very large, and already there were merchantmen in the harbor from whom goodly fees might be expected A Norwegian tramp steamship arrived from Galveston with cattle, which would have been god send, not only to the famished town, but to the bacon-fed American sol- diers, if the custom house business could have been expedited. President McKinley's decision that the minimum Spanish tariff prevail in every case and the movement to establish a bonded warehouse may ease matters. Ger tainlv the American troops as much as any other persons will benefit by the speedy return of trade to Santiago harbor
 One Of the first Spanish institutions in the town to find itself in danger is the postofsce. The postoffice of the Fifth army corps has itself had a pre- carious existence from the start. Be fore the army left Port Tampa there were envelope. stamp and letter fam ines. and each famine followed the corps and continued long after the troops had landed. Though those in authority seemed as anxious as the rest to get letters they did not seem in the way of portation-though of transportation, to be sure, the Fifth corps never had anything to spare.

CONFIDENCE REWARDED.
Bright Future for the South Bisbee
 Townsite Company.

For some time the Orb has kept a strict surveillance over the operations of the South Bisbee Copper Mining and Townsite Improvement company, operating, as the title would indicate, immediately in our midst, giving op- portunity for personal investigation, whereby a truthful, conscientious re- port might be made. Many of our townspeople are financially interested in the explorations being prosecuted, which are to determine whether the camp has one mine or several, and the work is under the supervision of some of the oldest and most experienced mining men of this section of Arizona, giving assurances to their friends that the merit of the property will not be overdrawn, that the money invested will be conscientiously applied in the development of the property and that none will be allowed to patronize a wild cat'' scheme.
 Since the inception of the company work has progressed without any os- tentation, the managers meeting with indications which warranted a liberal expenditure of funds The first few feet of work opened up body of high ly mineralized quartz, and thereafter from day to day the indications have grown more encouraging, passing through the identical formations en- countered while sinking the Holbrook shaft of the Copper Queen company. The formations gone through were lime and iron with an occasional de- posit of argentiferous galena, giving unmistakab1e evidence that a body of ore existed somewhere in that vicinity. Thus has the goddess of fortune lured the miner on until at the present depth of 240 feet the formation is more prom ising than ever. a large body of copper stained quartz having been encounter ed, a good omen that mineral exists in the near neighborhood, a fact which will soon be demonstrated, as the push and energy which has characterized the management of this property in the past will be strictly adhered to in the future.
 The Orb will make reports as devel- opment warrants, believing that the future interests of the camp depend largely upon the success or failure of the South Bisbee Townsite company to make good it's contention that large body of ore exists here without the confines of the Copper Queen com pany's holdings Present indications lead us to believe the expert advice upon which the work has been thus far prosecuted was correct in toto. Let us hope so-Bisbee Orb.

f General Shafter':was singufarly indff- 5erent to the mail. Not until after
 Santiago had fallen and he gave at last ] IT order that each home returning l transport should take it's share of fu-
 nigated mail bags did he bestir him l self in the matter Mr. B. Brewer, l appointed postmaster to the corps, sac riffced his life to his duties and to vel low fever.l At last, however, his assis- l ant, Louis Kempner of New York, a ] person Of energy and resources, began I to get matters into shape. At this writing officers have actually been able to send money orders home to their
 wives, and a permanent postoffice is established in Santiago, around the corner from the palace in the plaza and l in the same building with the Cable Submarine. Characteristic shiftless-
 ness and confusion reigned in the l Spanish postoffice building, increased by the fact that the blockade had pre- vented any outgoing mail for many weeks. Letters lay about dated March
 20 and earlier. One bulky letter in
 black border addressed in feminine
 hand to Don Seullien Carrisco, in Ma drid, was bursting it's edges with pre-
 mature age. Many official documents,
 most of them probably of routine na-
 ture, were awaiting forwarding to Ha- vana. Many were addressed to Ell Secretario del Hacienda. Whether to send these and others was one of the questions agitating the postmaster and Governor General Wood Another question was whether Spanish stamps should be now available, Mr. Kempner declaring against this
 For clerks it was found that the for mer employees of the postofIice were willing to work for Uncle Sam's post at their former wages of $50 a month. As matter of fact they had received no wages of any sort for nine months
 and more. A head postmaster also was unearthed, typical Spanish off, cial. He "oversaw" the postoffice for S175 a month, and a nice house. The $175 had for long time, like other Spanish salaries in Cuba, been merely nominal, but the house was fact, and the postmaster somehow, in spite of blockades, had managed to grow fat in it. General Wood was rather in
 clined to continue him in his sinecure,
 and the postmaster was willing. The first thing the American regime did to the postoffice was to wash it out, though with difficulty. Some two scrub women were asked for, but it seemed women did not do scrub work in Cuba. Men were got at last, only to find that today was not the day for the water to be turned on in that ward
 But cleaned the office was at last. So
 far the mails have depended on return
 ing transports for reaching the United
 States, and for anything from the
 states that would bring mail with it.
 Until some line is running regularly
 there can be no regular mails.
 Almost immediately with the Ameri can occupation of Santiago there were chances for American capital. Cargoes
 of fruit and fresh meat would have found ready purchasers. Clothing of all
 sorts both men and officers are only
 too eager to buy, for the native shops are meagerly stocked and the quarter
 masters are limited and wofully slow
 in issuing supplies. A neat modern hotel judiciously situated and offering clean food and beds, would be a god

QUIET WARNING TO GERMANY.

Notwithstanding all the denials re-
 ceived from Berlin and elsewhere in
 regard to any contemplated coercion of America, in respect to the final dis position of the Philippine islands, fla val opinion inclines to believe that the assembling of a British fleet of over whelming strength in home waters is
 not without meaning. The View at Portsmouth is that if flying squad ron comprising sixteen first class bat
 tleships had been suddenly collected
 much attention would have been at
 tracted all over the world. By the
 simple process of annulling the man leuvers and uniting the channel and re- serve squadrons for practice, the de- sired object was achieved. If the
 maneuvers had been held, the various ships would have been separated and
 possibly sent to a distance, and would certainly not have been available at a
 moments notice-as is now the case. The advertisement of a great British fleet of battleships at Copenhagen also has it's good points. It is intended to send the channel and reserve squad
 rons there during the tsar's visit to Denmark.-Harper's Weekly.

About the last man that one

Court appeared in that place this
morning on the charge of assault
and battery on Uekahupa. This
was District Guard Kanuha OF

we'll known for his strict attention

huna went to the Pacific Mail
wharf yesterday and, after acting
in a peculiar manner, began talk
ing to Kanuha on a private mat
ter concerning the latter alone.
Kanuha warned Uekahuna twice
to leave the place The third time
was followed by an action that
sent the fellow outside. Kanuhs
did not hit, but merely pushed the
fellow out.
When the Judge bad lectured
Uekahuua he told both men to go.
The natives met in the middle of
the court room, shook hands and
parted.
