Arizona's greatest prosperity in min ing will result from the opening up and development of it's gold and cop per mines. Every encouragement should be given to local capital. and : every attention possible should be ex- tended to outside investors who con- template putting their money in mines. Arizona's, and particularly Cochlse county's mineral resources are comparatively undeveloped, says the Tombstone Prospector. Notwithstand- ing the fact that Cochise county is doing more to bring to the notice Of intending investors opportunities in mining than any county in the terri tory, as witness the bonding of twenty different groups of mines to as many different companies, and notwithstand ing we have within our boundaries two of the richest mines in the terri tory, the hig bonanza at Pearce, which will take rank among the largest pre- ducers, also one Of the greatest cop per mining camps in the west, our mineral resources are comparatively untouched, her mountains compora- lively uneXplored, and the mines now in operation comparatively surface workings. The present stream O. wealth flowing from Arizona's mines is but rivulet compared to the river of gold and copper that will result from more extensive development And the mines that are developed arc but fraction of the number that car be profitably opened up and worked What Arizona needs is developmen

 Baptisto Corretto is working a few men on his new discoveries and from samples of ore which were brought from there few days ago, he has a first class prospect.

General Manager Frederick Stock of the Golden States company states that owing to the delay in the arrival of coke the shelter of the company will not be blown in until today. MT. Stock reports the opening of a breast of twelve feet of high grade ore in a drift from the main shaft, and is elated at the progress and development of this excellent property, says the Prospector

JACKASS DINGLEY.

From Yesterdays Evening PostO
The question what is to be done abou<
Mr.. Dingley of Maine is daily becoming
more pressing There has been what
the world at large considers steady
deficit in the revenue since June 80. 1897.
but Mr.. Dingley says it is surplus. He
or the rest of the world is, therefore,
laboring under an hallucination, but all
human business has to be transacted on
the hypothesis that the world at large is
sane, and that individuals differing
widely from the world at large, especial
ly on mathematical questions, are de-
mented. Consequently, it is a safe as
sumption that what Mr.. Dingley con-
siders a surplus is really a deficit, and
that it is Mr. Dingley who is ,"off his
head His case, like many others, re-
minds one of Macaulay's story of the
Brahman who was on his way to sacri-
fee a mangey sheep to some deity. He
met a friend, who pointed out to him the
unfitness of the animal for sacriiciai
purposes, but the Brahman maintained
that it was pure and beautiful lamb.
He could not be convinced of his error.
and sacrificed the mangey sheep, with
the result, Macaulay says, that the goods
smote him with disease in all his joints"
Mr.. Dingley's friends had better look
after him.
