Architects Already Making Plans
and Contractors Ready to
Begin their Work.
Listof the Insurance Carried with
. the Different Insurance
Companies Involved.

A day of hustle, activity and busi-
ness. Merchants ordering new stock,
property holders figuring on losses
and plans for rebuilding, architects
mapping out plans for new structures,
and workmen removing safes from
ruins, carting away debris, and clear
ing-the street Of ruins.
There is no encouragement. Every
one is ready to start over. Travelling
men swarm in like flies and are taking
orders for goods. Offices are being re-
established, and lawyers and profess
sional men are getting down to BUSH
ness. Insurance adjusters have ar
rived and ~ looking over the ruins
and figuring with the insured. Thos.
Baker of the Queen arrived first upon
the ground and practically adjusted
all of his losses yesterday. j. r..
Henry Of Chicago, representing a
number OF companies, arrived today
to begin adjusting. G: $. Cowles of
the Royal and j. v. Eaton of the Ger
man American are also here. The
insurance. men see that there will be
little salvage. The losses in most
cases are total.

sidewalks, no frame outbuildings be
permitted in the fire limits-1Ol feet
beyond the present limits of Front

that the limits be extended 100 feet be-
yond the Lamborn on the east. There
was q full discussion of all matters.
No temporary structures are to al
lowed. The meeting was practiclly
unanimous and Q committee was ap.
pointed consisting of General Alex

We clip the following from the Tue
son Star:,Th Engineering and Mining
Journal attempts to give an authentic
statement of the dividends paid last
year on gold, silver and copper mines
of the various states and territories,
and credits Arizona with but one divi-
dend paying mine, which paid divi-
dend Of $4,000. This is so absur6ly
ridiculous that there can be but one
conclusion, with reference to the mat
ter. That is the Journal has not at
tempted to state the facts. Take for
instance few of the large producers
in copper The Copper Queen, the
Clifton or Arizona Copper Company or
the United Verde. The net profits of
any Of these mines was over the hun
dreds Of thousands. The Verde per-
haps more than two Or three millions
of profits alone. Take some Of the gold
producers Of Arizona, the Common
wealth alone which is giving q net pro-
fit of more than a 100000 monthly.
Then what about the Congress and a
scors OF mines in Northern Arizona
which are paying handsome profit.
The Engineering aud Mining Journal
had better try again at guessing unless
its object be to misrcpresent Arizona
as mining region.

The question Of th5 abandonment Of
Fort Whipple is receiving considerable
attention. General Miles is bent on
securing its abandonment, but Secre-
tary Alger says ne will not make the
order, but will submit the question to
the president for executive action.
General Miles has bill before the
committee on military afeire e. con-
fer upon him the title Of general, such
as Grant and Schofleld received, but
Mark Smith is a member Of the com
mittee and he told Miles IN plain un-
mistakable language that until he
withdrew his opposition to Fort Whip
pie, be would keep his titled bill back.
This has put Miles to thinking. He IS
very deeirons CT getting his bill
through and on the other hand he has
a grudge against Prescott people Be-

A Discouraging Outlook {.

The speech Of Mr.. Wolcott, OF Colo,
rado, in the Senate the other day, in
which he reported the efforts and re-
suits OF the International Bimetallic
Commission, was discouraging TO those
who have hoped for some satisfactory
agreement with European nations on
the subject Of silver. The senator has
been among The most hopeful that a
favorab able result would be achieved; but
his hopes have been so far blasted that
he has resigned from the commission.
Whether a successor will be appointed
and efforts continued, the future will
disclose.
The situation is such that it seems
inevitable that the money question will
now be more sharply in issue than ever
before. Many republicans voted FOR
Mckinley in the belief that he and his
party would do something of value for
the cause of biInetallism; but as the
only thing proposed has turned out a
failure. and as the administration,
through the secretary of the treasury,
has pronounced in favor of the gold
standard unequivocally, the question
is what will the bimetallist republicans
do? Ex-senator Du Bois, of Idaho,
says they will join the silver repubii-
can party, which is not improbable.
The present indications that the money
question in features essentially the
same as they were in 1896 will be fought
over until one side or. the ether is
placed completely hors de combat.
Both sides are pressing it, unmixed
with any ambiguity, clap-trap or sub
terfuge. On the money question,
lines Of political parties seem deatined
to be drawn, and that the whole people
will array themselves On one side or
the other-no middle ground is reserv-
ed for standing room.-Mining and
Metallurgical Journal.

The Gazette says: It seems, from our

pet-baggers than were any OF the south
