ABOUT ARIZONA MINES.

The Daily Mining Record of Denver prints the following concerning Ari- zona properties:
 J. s. Best, an old resident of Colo rado. who has been spending some terested in mining in that territory. is in the city for short time.
 He is negotiating for the establish ment of a smelting plant of fifty tons daily capacity in connection with C J. Best. formerly of the AEaconda mine. The smelter possesses some unique features and economies both labor and fuel in ore reduction. Sev- eral good companies are operating ir Lynx creek. fourteen miles from Pres colt. Ed Wann. former mining mar well known in Cripple Creek, is at the head of Pittsburg company who have . well equipped mine, producing thirty tons of ore a day ranging from s15 tc $30 ton.
 Clark and Stuckey have lately solo to Kennedy and Galley a good prop erty, on which is installed a steam hoist.
 Among others working in the same vicinity are the Pine Mountain, Mil liken, Blauvelt, Jesse Grant and Dr. Underwood
 In the Big Bug district the Belle and Poland. owned by F. M Murphy. have several thousand tons of ore or the dump that is too low grade to be shipped, but would pay for reductioD on the ground. In the same section the Red Rock, owned by California people. shows a good body of sulphide ranging from S15 to $50 ton. It is fifteen miles from a railroad at pres ent, but is only four miles from the branch of the Santa F'e now building from Prescott. which will he complet. ed soon. The Providence group has good bodies of low grade. The Ster- ling is showing good grade of cop per.
 The LCttie mine and mill is an ex- cellent property. A crosscut has been run which, when. completed, will GU: the vein several hundred feet below the existing workings. A good deal of activity is noticeable on account of the new railroad that is solving the prob lem of cheaper transportation.

WEALTH OF THE RAND.

The output of gold in the Rand, Cal. district last month exceeded 80, 900. an increase of $25,000 over June. The July output of a single mine CYelIow Aster). was s63,000, of which s35. GOO was divided among the stockholders. \ mill run of the ore of another mine gave values of $20S to the ton, that of another $115
 These are facts of such importance that they will not be overlooked. The Los Angeles Herald in referring to them in an editorial says:
 "A million dollars of new wealth created in year is far different prop osition than the mere exchange of a million dollars worth of commodities. It comes from . comparatively few acres of desert soil, ranked as worth less It endows those heretofore bar ron acres with great value It helps to swell the taxable values of the state. It gives employment to many men, and is building up cities of fair propor- lions within the borders of Los Ange- les county. We should say that the Rand district is rich asset of south

OF INTEREST TO MINE OWNERS
Copper By-products Generally Suff
 cicnt to Pay Expenses.

In an article on the relation of by the Engineering and Mining Journal calls attention to a fact not sufficient

 we were dependent for our supply of copper on copper mines, pure and sim pie, we would have to pay much high CT prices for the metal. For this req.

 This, says the Los Angeles Mining Review. is subject of the greatest in |terest to owners of copper mining prop critics in Arizona, and other portions of this southwestern region It is now pretty well known that the copper ores in Arizona contain large percentage of gold, silver and lead, which would
 in the majority of eases, be more thar
 sufficient to pay all the expenses ot
 working tfe mines, leaving the copper
 a ret profit. And as Arizona is in-
 creasing it's production of copper in 8
 much greater ratio than Michigan an6 Montana. 1t stands to reason that with such increased production combined with the large proportion of valuable by-products in the ore that copper will be produced at lower prices in Arizona than it can be produced in either of the two states mentioned. while at the same time yielding larger profits to the owners

THE LEES IN AMERICA.

Perhaps the most notable represen- tative of the name was Richard Henry Lee, who was born in WestmoreIand county, Virginia, in 1732. He lived to the age of 62 years and died at Chan tiIly, in his native state-the place whcrc sixty-eight years later Fight ing Phil Hearney'' was killed. Lee was member of the Virginia house of hurgesees when Patrick Henry made the memorable speech, familiar to school boys, and a favorite selection in all books Of rhetoric. The most sig nificant passage was as follows: "Cae- sar had his Brutus, Charles I his Crom- well, and George IT," Treason, shouted the chairman. Treason, Treason,' was echoed from different parts Of the house. And George III, resumed the speaker with flashing eye and unfaltering voice, may profit by their example. If that be treason make the most of it''

OUR r1INERAL WEALTH.

Arizona, or that portion of it which it is proposed to deal with here, is rich in gold, silver, copper and lead. Among its great gold producers is the Com lnonwcalth, said to be the biggest-pay- ing gold mine in Arizona. Among it's great copper properties are the United Verde, which employs 700 men and is the chief support of the town of Je- rome with it's population of 5000. Next to the United Verde is the Copper Quen mine of Bisbee, which yields about S2,000,000 annually to it's own CTS. Adjoining the Copper Queen are the properties of the South Bisbee Copper Mining and Townsite Improve ment company. The town of Bisbee has now population of about six thou sand.
 In it's annual report the Mineral In dustry (New York) shows that the pro duction Of copper in the United States in 1897 is the largest Of record The total output for that year was SIG, O,190,- tl9 pounds. an increase over that of 1896 of 30,3S4,536 pounds. Of this total quantity Montana, Michigan and Arizona were the largest contributors The output of Montana for the year in question was 237,15S,54O pounds, as against 22S.95S 164 pounds for 1896, an increase of S,200.3T6 pounds. The out put of Michigan for 1897 was 145,S 749 pounds as against 144.O5S.524 pounds in 1896, an increase of 1 ,7S1. .225 pounds. The output of Arizona for iS97 was S1,019,922 pounds as against
 3,!45,321 pounds in 1896, an increase or 7.214,601 pounds. By these figures 2t IS seen that Arizona's increase in copper production was very much greater proportionately than that of Montana or Michigan. Tn Arizona the output for 1897 was nearly 10 per cent greater than that of 1896. Whereas. in the case of Montana it was only 8 3-7 per cent greater. and in that of Michigan only 11-5 per cent cent greater. It is perfectly safe to say that it will only require few years more to place Arizona at tha head of copper producing states and territories.
 III respect to the product of indiyid- ial T,lnes It IS of interest to note that the United Verde of Arizona is fourth on the list and the Copper Queen of Arlzona fifth on the list. These two spiendld Arizona properties are only surpassed in production by the Ana conda in Montana, the Boston and Montana and the Calumet and Hecla of Michigan.
 Other districts have rich gold and copper mines: Tombstone. Clifton. inc oragoons. Aravaipa, Pima. Pearce. greater It is perfectly safe to AJo' Gro Blanco, the Con- gress, and a dozen more. Tomb stone Is more particularly sil- yer country. having produced over S40.0OO.oO0 of that metal alone. Tn the Clifton district are several valuable copper properties. among them those or the Arizona company, and of the De- troIt company. Aravaipa district is an- other rich copper country. The Dra- goons has both gold and copper. Pima county is still another big copper dis trlct, but has also plenty of good gold properties. There are also many val uable placer diggings in the territory which are being profitably worked.- Los Angeles Review.

SEATTLES LITTLE BOAST
Calls Herself inc New York of inc
 Northwest.

Seattle is a commercial city. It is to the Pacific northwest what New York is to the east, and promises some day to be as far ahead of other Pacific cities as New York is greater than her sister Atlantic cities.
 Seattle fronts on Elliott bay, Puget sound, and the sound connects with the Pacific ocean by the Straits of Fuca, thus affording this city won derful harbor. The city covers an area of twentv-eiGht square miles and has q population of from 65 ,O0O to TO- GOO. She has distanced all competitors
 m the volume of her trade with the world by reason of the facts that she has. first, three great transcontinenfa! railroads, enjoys traffic arrangements with as many more. and has. in ronsc- quenca terminal rates in freight charges; and second. that she has a shipping fleet going to nearly all parts of the world, and that owing to the de- velopment of the Alaskan and oriental trades she IS fast becoming great sea- port city. The Pacific northwest which is noted for it's output of cereals, fruits, hops, lumber and minerals-has prCspered more than any section of the United States during the recent wave of adversity and was the first to sse the sun Of returning prosperity. Be- sides its great Alaskan trade, it is the principal supply point for the famous Rosslaud and Slocan mining districts, for western and eastern Washington and British Columbia The result ' that though 1t is city of only moder-

How General Greeley Treated News
 paper Correspondents.

A bureau of the war department that seems to have escaped any criticism or complaint of inefTiciency is that of the signal service The only complaint made. was that the functions were per formed too vigorously. General Gree ley has had a difficult role to fill. Cen sOrship of news is something to which American newspapers are not accus- toned. The duty had to be performed. and in the main it has been done with out much friction. General Greeley looks back upon his work with a con siderable degree of satisfaction, and justly The most trouble he has had has been with the foreigners who have come over here to represent foreign pa pars. Some of these men have at tempted to run the bureau, but Gen eral Greeley has let them rage and inn agine vain things while the censors vigorously applied their blue pencils. One day when foreign correspondent had made himself conspicuous with his declaration of intentions to down the head censor. q self-appointed commit tee of American newspaper men went I'D to General Greeley's office to have some fun with him. They assumed with much severity of expression that the Britisher was obtaining special ia vors So assuming, they wanted to know what difference there was in the eyes of the chief signal officer be- tween a British correspondent and an American correspondent The general, who is an intense American. listened and replied with q wealth of express sion in his manner:

 .Aat there is between an American and an Englishman."

ARMY REORGANIZATION.
Hull Measure Considered BY the Ho.ss
Committee on Military Affairs.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The House
committee on military affairs has be-
gun the consideration Of the import
ant measures for the increase and re
organization of the army to meet the
conditions arising out of the war. Such
progress was made that Chairman Hull
said that he expected not only to re-
port to the House before the holidays,
but also to pass it by that time. Gen.
Miles and Gen. Schofleld will be invi-
ted to be present on Monday to offer
suggestions and recommendations
Following them the various heads of
staff, bureaus, the adjutant general,
commissary general, quartermaster
general, etc, will be heard.
The bill which is under consideration
today was the Hull bill introduced by
Mr.. Hull and having the approval Of
Secretary Alger. The other army bill
drawn by Gen. Miles, was not before
the committee for the comparison.
The Miles bill probably will be in
troduced in the House on Monday and
referred to the military committee as
to be taken up when Gen. Miles is
heard
For today, however, the committee
confined its attention to going over the
various provisions of the Hull bill Mr..
Hull explained that the plan of the
measure in so shaping the arms of the
service as to bring the total effective
force up to 100000, and this led to gem
eral discussion. No decisions were
reached and no votes taken on anv of
the features of the bill, the whole sub
ject going over.
