Tie United States is building what
 will be the biggest gun in the world, 6
 sixteen inch rifle, to weigh 142 tons, with B penetration against which no armor will stand. There has been wonderful improvement in riHed can non and guns of all kinds dnring the past thirty five years, and the United States leads the world in their manu. facture. If our memory serves us alright Capt. Robt. r. Stockton, U. 8. N., of New Jersey, (after whom Stock ton, Cel. was namedD was the inventor of the frst large breech-loading gun made in America, which he named the Peacemaker and placed it on board the Princeton. This was during President Tyler's administration and he and his cabinet. together with other officials, were invited to witness the first firing of the great gun. The result was dis astrous for the gnn exploded at the breech, killing three department secre- taries, and six of the Princeton's crew. Stockton was severely censured for tLo folly of charging cannon with thirty seven pounds of powder. What would the people of that day think were they alive today, to see Uncle Sam's modern ''peacemakers" which are charged with from 200 to 400 pounds of powder?

INDIAN RUMoRs DENIED.

Elsewhere ih this issue we publish . letter from Lieut. 6edwick Rice, Act ing Indian Agent at San Carlos, which should set at rest any apprehension that may be felt in regard to the pres- ent disposition of the Indians under his charge. The SILVER BELT is usual ly we'll informed of the temper and movements of the Apaches, and all the news we have received of late confirms the statements of Lieut.. Rice.
 These Indians were never more tract able and lawabiding than they are st present. There is no dissatisfaction or dissension among them, so far as we can learn. but to the contrary, they are eager for any employment by which they can earn a livelihood. Many of the Indians are engaged in the cultivs- ton of thsir farms; others are employed in the laborious work of making the grade for the Gila Valley, Globe < Northern railroad across the teserva. tion, while not few find employment in the white settlements bordering on the reservation. Lieut.. Rice has won their confidence and respect and those few who might be inclined to turbu- fence have n wholesome dread of the discipline which is inforced with firm and impartial hand by Acting Agent Rice, who has at his disposal all the force needed to maintain order on the reservation.
 It is gratifying to the SILVER BELT tc testify to this favorable state of affairs on the San Carlos reservation and we hope the newspapers of the territory will give it the widest publicity, that the injury done by the many false rumors of threatened outbreak by these Indians may be at least partially repaired.

COPPER MINING IMMENSELY
 PROFITABLE.

Present owners of copper mines, pre- ducing or giving promise of profitable development, can view the war and in dustrial situation with complacency, says the Mining & Scientific Press. Next to reliable war news nothing is ir more active present demand than cop per. As with gold and other metals, this west half of America is of prime importance to tho nation in this regard. A New York broker says: Daring the past three years no shares of any kind of enterprise have shown the re- marksble and steady increase in values that the copper shares have. During the past year and n half, eight of the leading copper stocks have increased in vslae over fifty million dollars and they have increased over twenty million dol lars during the past six months. The total par value of their capitalization is only S16,0O0, 900. The Rotbschilds aud other big capitalists of Europe have agents exploring tho entire Vest ern continent for copper properties, and large number of Enghsh bankers and operators have their American cor respondents looking up copper mines or large blocks of stocks in such prop. critics for investment purposes. The ownership of all the American copper mines IS in the hands of very few people, and less than 100 American copper mine owners control the worlds market for copper. The demand for the metal is greater than the supply, the total visible stock on hand was never so low as now, and would be ex- hausted entirely in two or threo months if the supply was stopped in any way" As things arc ct present, 1t looks as though the world needed copper moro than gold. It is predicted that copper will sell for r3e before Jan. 1st. 'o9. It is being produced at total cost of less than ore-hsif that figure.

----------------------- NO APOLOGY WAS NEEDED.

The last issue of the Yuma Sun con tains an editorial criticising Secretary of the Territory Chas F. Akers for his obsequeous praise of President McKin- ley and denpnciation the of "rabid mob" and 'jingo papers" for their presump- tion in censuring the President for his dllatory war programme. The matter Is of small importance, perhaps. and would not merit attention were it not for the apologetic manner ia which the Sun criticises the secretary. It prefa- ces its remarks by saying; "Mr. Akers is man for whom We have the deepest respect, and we believe hc is American from the ground up, hence it is impos- sible for us to believe that he gave utterance to the sentiments attributed to him by the organ of the Republican party of Arizons"-sll of which is twsddle, an apology for presuming to repremand a federal official.
 TIE SILVER BELT has always held to the opinion that 8 public officer is a servant of the people, accountable for his every act and word. He is not in- falible, nor can ho claim immunity from criticism, though he be the presi- dent of the United States or wears the ernine of the judiciary. Therefore, VIC detest anything in journalism that smacks of seryility.
 AS for MT. Akers, while he may be competent to fill the office which be holds by the grace of William McKin- ley, and which office demands only mediocre ability, yet knowing his rec ord ss political barnacle, coupled with his eflasive praise of his political mast CTS, we can not entertain an exalted opinion of him as an American citizen.

Any one who has ever had an attack of inflammatofy rheumatism will re- joice with Mir. J. A. Stumm, 220 Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, over his fortun- ate escape from siege of that distress ing ailrhent. Mir. Stumm is foreman of Merriam's confectionery establish. ment. Some months ago, on leaving the heated work room to run across the street on an errand, he was caught out in the rain. The result was that when ready to go home that night he was unable to walk, owing to inaam- matory rheun1atism. He was taken home, and on arrival was placed in front of good fire and thoroughly rubbed with Chamberlain's Pain Balm. During the evening and night he was repeatedly bathed with this Eniment, and by morning was relieved of all rheumatic pains. He now takes espe cial pleasure in praising Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and always keeps bottle of it in the house. For sale by H. c. Hitchcock, druggist.
