A reader Of the Pest-InteiIigenccr asks
the following question: eff prominent
person dies. or murder is committed
sag in England or some other far-away
counfry-in a day or two you have the
picture OF the person in your paper. VIII
you kindly tell how you obtain theses'
This is a question that has no doubt
puzzled great many readers of the Post
Intelligencer. who will De glad To have it
paper has an art department, which is
by no means the least interesting or i'm
portant feature of the plant. In this
department may be found the portrait
OF nearly every prominent person in the
world. These are obtained from various
sources. but principally from the ex-
changes. Not only are portraits found in
the art department. but a cut of nearly
every prominent building in the larger
cities also. II requires the greater part
OF one persons time to cut out, paste and
index these portraits and other cuts that
may never be used. but which must be
always at hand when called for. When
ever any news item of interest TO the
public concerning some more or less prom
fnent character appears, the art depart
ment Is called upon for portrait of the
individual, which is printed together with
the item. the following morning. Should a
fire occur in any OF the larger buildings
of an Eastern city. the Post-Intelligencer
furnishes its readers a faithful picture OF
the building destroyed, together with a
description of the conhagration. Portraits
of murderers or other criminals, unless
sufficiently notorious to have attained
prominence, never appear. for the reason
that they are not to be found in the art
department. Some idea of the large num-
Der OF portraits and other cuts kept
constantly on hand may be gathered from
the fact that the index to the Post-InteIl-
gencer's art room is quite bulky volume

A Populist organ, either through ignor-
anee or viciouEness. or. what is more like :
ly. through a combination of ignorance
and viciousness. denounces what it is
pleased to term the extravaganza of the
Republican house in the matter of the
number Of employees and salaries paid
during the recent session. The house is
composed Of seventy eight members the
senate Of thirty-four. yet the fusion sem
ate paid out over $40 day more than did
the house for these services: and, not
content with this inexcusable exhibition
of extravaganza. donated the senate en-
ployes an increase of salary during the
closing hours OF the session against the
earnest protest of the Republican mem-
bers. This is a fair Illustration of the
wide difference between these fusion
sham-refnrmers and the Republican party
upon measures of public economy.

ate and speak of the Republican legis,a-

remember that the fusion senate added

is proposed in the bill TO dispense with

Ject. OF course, is TO keep the appoint

interest. Previous censuses were injured

Compared with the state of affairs at
the opening OF the war Of 1861, the con-
ditions confronting the treasury year
ago when the Spanish war broke out
contained no difficulties whatever Nor
do the figures as to the final scheme of
revenue adopted at that time afford
ground for the criticism Of the schemes
adopted last year. BY the close OF the
civil war the total taxation was $780,
100000 per annum, or sl5.73 per capita.
At the present time the taxation
amounts to less than half as much. or
only $3.50 per capita.
OF the $3.50 per capita, the special war
tax is only $50. The total present tax
alton is $50. 900 900. distributed about as

WHILE in town this week Mr. Alex ander Hill, one of the principal owners of the Ray copper mine, said the com pany was well pleased with the prop erty and would consummate the sale at once. He was on his way to London, where arrangements would be made for putting extensive works on the property, and the company would without doubt bnild railroad to connect it with the Southern Pacific. That the road will be run through Florence there seems to be little question. This is the best news the TmBUHE has been called upon to pub fish in many day, and it can be relied upon as authentic, coming from the source it does. Mir.

ARIZONA MUST SPEAK.
Congress Wn Talso No Action Until the
 People Express Themselves.
LFrom the Phoenix Gazstts.l

ltIOiA itl6 Aoc4iiA 41lHette.
 The following letter to one of our Phoenix citizens was written by q prominent man well know to many of our people as friend of Arizona. He expresses a great truth when he says that the people of this territory must express their needs clearly in order to obtain congressional recoeni- tion aad action. It is matter of lee D regret that the legislature did not have single champion among it's members who had tue interests or the welfare of the territory sufficiently at heart to insist upon some expression that could have been used to influence congress to give ear to the crying necessity of Arizona in the matter of water storage. Some of them who were loudest in promises in this direction before election fell fiatter than flat in the puddles made by the mule hoofs as the days of legislation approached the mark of sixty:
 WASHINGTON, March 2s, 1899.
 Mir. Thomas Boyle, Phoenix, Ari- zona-Dear Sir: Your letter of March 25 has been receivel. together with copies of H. 5. No. 94 and chipping giving results of meeting of irrigators. I have examined these with interest. Iregret to learn that no action was taken by your legislature.
 have long appreciated the necessity of water storage in Arizona and am doing whatever is possible to forward it. We now have field party operat- ing along the Giia river under a clause in the Indian appropriation bill. Their work is narrowly restricted by law, so that we cannot take up the ques- tion of larger public importance. If this could be done I have no doubt bat that the results would be beaea- eial. Until the people of Arizona ex- press themselves clearly and emphati- eally on the subject it of course is improbable that congress will take action.
 Very truly yours,
 F. Il. NEWELL,
 Hyarographer.

In response to telegram from his son, John D. Young, J Roe Young left last night for Kingman, Ariz. John Young is well known in Phoenix and is graduate of the mineral depart- ment at the Arizona university. While in Kingman he has been following his business us mining expert. He has made strike at Chloride, small place about seventeen miles from Kingman. From reports the mine will be almost a bonanza. It is claimed that it con tains an exceptionally large ledg @ which runs fifteen ounces of gold and seventy-tive ounces of silver. Either metal in the abstract would be con sidered good strike. The country about Kingman has been wrought up to high pitch of excitement on ac- count of the discovery, and the news is spreading. Mir. Young came into possession of the property in a singular manner. He was following his busi- ness as q mining expert when he was called upon to do small job of work in that line The employer subsequent tly informed him that he had noneans of reeompense other than to give him prospect MT. Young was forced to accept what has proven by all reports to be very rich proposition. He wrote in his letter that he had waited two days after making the strike in order to allow the fever to cool. He wanted to be perfectly normal when he wrote and to substantiate the reports. That the Kingman section is excited over the find may be shown by the fact that at the moment of his writing there was man sitting beside him who had been attempting ever since the discovery was made to pur- chase one tenth share in the mint for 5000. Mr. Young preferred tc await the arrival of his father befor, entering intoany uegotiations.-IPhoe nix Republican.

\. H. MELLoR writes from Dudley vile that the Santiago group of gold mines, in which he is interested, is developing into a bonanza. There are three locations along the ledge, which can be traced the entire distance. The deepest shaft is 30 feet, at the bottom of which the vein is four feet wide, and from paunings it is estimated the rock will go s20 to the ton. This property is on the recently segregated strip from San Carlos Indian reserva- ton, only six or seven miles from Dudleyville, and but short distance from the coal fields. From all accounts this is the coming district, as other equally valuable mines are being devel- oped. Mr. Mellor is to be congratu- lated over his rich strike.

Mar coni's system was used between Dover and Boulogne, and in the presence of a committee appointed by the French government a message was sent by Marconi to England which was prompt ly returned from Dover. There was not the slightest hitch in the experi- ment. The message passed and re- passed quickly and easily.
