 Another mineral discovery has been added to Yuma county's list. A num- Der of claims were located on a small hill eight miles south of the King of Arizona that promise to equal if not exceed any free gold property in the territory. Assays of surface rock taken from all parts of the hill cov- erirg an area several hundred feet square, show a result of from s2O to $40 per ton.

 The Jerome Copper company, whlct is developing some mining properties adjacent to those owned by the United Verde Copper company has struck a large body of very r:ch copper ore.

President Ralph Dill lon, the Jerome merchant, is now in Denver attending meeting of the company.
 A prospector named Reagan and h. partner made a srtike of exceedingly rich gold ore near Santa Rita, last Saturday. Samples of ore were sent to this city to be assayed and gave returns of eighty ounces gold per ton. Specimens, now to be seen at the Ernes6s road house below Santa Ria are literally covered with gold and will run away up into the hundreds of ounces of gold per ton. The vein lies on the southwest slope of Santa Rita mountain, about a mile and half from the Kneeling Nun. The old Mexican traditions are to the effect that rich ore was found in that vii cinity and worked more than a cen- tury ago. There is a Mexican named Gallivan now living at Santa Rita who is over 100 years old He has always insisted that the Spanish worked some fabulousIy rich gold mines in that vicinity when he was a boy.-Silver City CN.

sam psCu,

In all matters relating TO the war,
President Mckinley has proved himself
to be a man of extraordinary force and
decision. He has been equal to the
demands Of a great occasion and has
sustained the high prestige Of the Office
that in trying emergencies has been ad-
ministered by Washington, Mad son
and Lincoln. Naturally man of peace,
having no yearning for the excitement
and glory OF war. when war became
necessary he bound himself to Gel, IN
ends, which neither the plants Cf the
timid nor the menaces of European
powers can cause him to forego in the
least measure. In one particular only
has ne allowed his generous nature and
his friendlinass TO a certain group of
officials to restrain him from the per-
fornance Of a duty that now seems
imperative. This is the removal of
Commodore Sampson from the com
mand Of the North Atlantic Squad
ron.
That the capture Of Santiago was de-
layed, to the loss and distress of our
army, because Of Simpsons inertia and
positive refusal TO cooperate with Gen.
Shafter. no one will deny. He main
tanned that he had certain knowledge
that the entrance was thoroughly min
ed and so strongly defended that he
did not dare attempt-its passage. He
convinced the President that such an
attempt would imperil the safety f the
feet. and if he did not convince him he
caused him to withhold positive orders
to enter. On the strength Of the fan
cied dangers, Sampson lay several miles
of the mouth Of the channel and even
failed to carry out his promise to COM
pIetely disable and silence the forts.
Why he did not attempt to draw or ex-
plode the alleged mines and positively
silence and man the forts, he has never
explained. An examination has shown
thai the explosives in the channel were
not formidable. Morro Castle is found
to be nothing like the terror it appeared
to Sampson, whose pounding merely
crumbled one bastion. 1t is apparent
in fact, that Commodore Schley was
right when he sad our fleet could enter
the harbor without the loss of q single
ship and there is no doubt the attempt
would have been made if he had been
in command.
Aside from the inertia that cost the
country SO many anxious days and the
army the loss of so many men, Commo-

Ant!podnI in Every sense.

Admiral Dewey has heard Of the vic
tory over Cervera's squadron off Santa
go. We are sorry TO add that it was
the Sampson Fourth of July present
canard which came to his ears. He was
deluded by it just as The Times and ali
other American papers and people were,
when the flamboyant message of the
man who was twelve miles away from
the action was received in the United
States.
Like everybody else, Admiral Dewey
is seen to have jumped to the conclu-
sion that the dispatch was truthful
one. and he has sent his congratulations
to Sampson, its disingenuous author,
all unconscious that the honor belongs
to a gallant comrade in arms named
Schley, and that Sampson is as much
entitled to credit in the connection as
he is for the destruction of Montojos
ships at Cavite.

ENGLAND,s NAVY.
Determined to Outnumber the
strength of All Rivals

London, July 22-In the house of com
mons today Mr.. Goschen. first lord OF the
admiralty, announced that the govern
ment would build four battleships, four
cruisers and twelve torpedo boat destroy
ers within the next three and half years
at total cost of SIS 000,e00.
The government. he declared, adhered
firmly to the idea of maintaining a navy
equal to any two of Great Britatn's
strongest naval rivals Russia's naval
program had made England's policy Of
augmentation necessary.
Mr.. Goschen announced that the pres
ent strengthening of Engiand's navy was
directly due to Russias action Russia,
he said intended to commence the con-
struction OF four cruisers within the re-
naming months Of 1925
Mr.. Curzon said the government had no
reason to believe that Russia demanded
the sole control of the reorganization OF
the chinese navy. but at the same time,
Russia did not absolutely deny such in
tentions.
The subsequent liberal naval estimate
was strongly anti-Russian in its tenor
Mr. Goschen declared that the armor
manufacturers We're working night and
day at full speed. but they would not pro-
duce this year The quantity the admiralty
mad anticipated He thought, however,
that England would always be able to
produce her own armor and not be COM
PEELED to go abroad for It,
Speaking of the reconstruction of old
cruisers, Mr. Goschen said that the gov
ernment Intended to improve those of the
Admiral class, but in view of the present
conditions prevailing throughout the
world none Of them would be placed in
dock yet
As regards new cruisers. two of the
Crescent class would be built and two Of
a larger class, The larger would be of the
following dimensions: Length. $50 feet;
breadth, Y feet. and mean draught, 26
feet Their displacement would be Il, 100
tons. Their engines would be Of 80 00J
horse power and they would have a speed
Of . knots They would mount two 90
inch breech-loading guns. sixteen 6-inch
quick fire and fourteen 12-pound quick
firers. They would have vertical side
armor six inches thick and strong steel
decks. Their boilers would be of the
water tube type and they would have

CAPTIVE PASSENGER TRADE.
The Contract for Their Trnnspor-
tnfiOn SigncI.

The contract and the bond for trans
porting the Spanish prisoners to Spa4n
are approved, signed. and sealed. If the
CONTRACTORS had any real fear that their
bid would not be accepted after all the
facts were known, they have already dis
covered their error ana if, on the other
hand. they thought they had sto,en
march upon the Government in any re-
spect, they must have been promptly un-
deceived.
The situation of the contractors ships
was known on "Wednesday night to Col.
Hecker. and nothing novel developed yes
terday in connection with them. The
Attorney General in drawing up the pa
pers. had the whole case before him. In
the first place, instead of eight ships tied
up in Mexican harbors, as some of the re-
ports stated, there are actually only two.
As to the ships i'm the blockaded ports of
Cuba and Porto Rico, they WI have to
remain there, as our Government has no
notion of raising the blockade to accom-
modate shipping firm. whether that
firm IS under contract or not.
If the contractors should attempt TO use
any seized or bloekaded ships for its pres
ent undertaking, the vessel would be LA
BILE to capture like any other vessel be-
longing to the public enemy. The same
would be true if they should attempt to
fl up their ships with any more of tan
armament than is customary in the case
of a merchant vessel. The clearance of
the transport ships VIII, in short depend
upon theSs being in all respects in d
condition suitable 70 the purposes of their
contract ard no other; and If by any
subterfuge they should be found on the
high seas in any other condition, not
only would their safe conduct be for
feited. but they would be liable to seizure
as pirates, with the most serious con-
sequences to the parties responsible for
the violation of agreement
The Government has evidently recog-
niZed some possibilities which are not
wholly in accord with the terms of Gen.
Turals surrender n. as intimated in a
dispatch from Madrid, some of the COM
mands surrendered should refuse to rec
ognize Torars authority and insist upon
prolonging their resistance further, or
If the yellow fever or some untoward ac
cident should largely reduce the number
OF prisoners to be returned to Spain. the
contractors would still be held to their
agreement as to the remainder a mini
mum shipment OF 1900 enlisted men and
500 officers win still compel the contract
ors acceptance of $50 head for the men
and $50 for the officers. This minimum
number, by the way. the contractors
must prepare To have removed on or be-
fore the 7tn Of August. They must have
the necessary ships d hand by the Slst
of july, and the last prisoner Of this lot
must be embarked for Spain within one
week later. Except as 10 the first 1880.

tv.nty-one days notice in advance OF
each shipment required.

AMERICAN PORK.
A Report on German Opposition TO
the Product.

Consular Agent Neuer. a Gera, Ger
] many, has made the following report 10
the State Department in regard 10 Ger
man opposition TO American pork:
Under the pretense of perfecting the
sanitary condition of the people an unjust
and systematic war is waged against
American pork in this city. Warnings are
published by the magistrates against the
consumption Of raw American pork,
though every piece of bacon and ham is
subject to an inspection by duly author
lied examiners before entering trade.
Dealers in our hog products are required
to hang signs in conspicuous places in
their stores bearing the inscription
'Amerikanische Fielschwaaren' (American
moatsl. No means are left untried to ere
ate widespread prejudice, and all local pa
pcrs take up the subject of trichinae in
American pork as one of their favorite
themes.
The inspection fees have recently been
lbled and now amount to . pfennigs
instead of y IL pfennigs, as before, for
every piece of bacon or ham, resulting.
for instance. in an expense of from S5 to
40 marks tSS.SS to $3.50 per tierce of bone
less hams.
Not long ago a shipment of corned
pork was detained to undergo inspection,
thereby exposing the meat to decay and
practically prohibiting its entrance. More
over. the Gera authorities have ordered
all American pork to be conveyed TO their
slaughter house for microscopic exanlina-
ton, regardless of whether il is to be sold
here or elsewhere, measure very detrf-
mental TO the interests of the dealers in
this city
Not one case of death or even OF dis
ease can be attributed to the consumption
of American pork, while / know of sew
eral cases of trichinosis from the use of
freshly slaughtered German pork in spite
of microscopic inspection. If one case of
trichinosis could be traced to meat from
our country the fact would be published
far and wide and it is probable that
imports of American pork would be pro-
hibited. 1t is an established fact how
ever, that in consequence of the sailing,
picking and smoking to which our hog
products are subjected the trichinae are
no longer living, or have at least lost
the power of reproduction in the human
body
From my personal experience I am
able to state that ] have never known a
microscopic to state that he had OBJ
served trichinae manifesting any sign of
life in welI-salted meats
The reasons for this agitation against
our hog products are. it is almost gener-
ally conceded, entirely selfish. Our meats
are much cheaper than those of Germany
and form an Indispensable article of food
for the poorer classes in this country.
