It is true that the value of a pros pect may be approximately deter mined by the showing it makes. The rock, the walls, the gangue matter, the trend and inclination of a lode, may all indicate paying proposition, and still fail to pay. On the other hand, the indications may lead to the conclusion that the ledge is not worth a copper, and its abandonment follow. All of which prove that one man can not see into the ground farther than another. Many good mines were once deserted in disgust by their owners, which afterwards proved to be great bonanzas. Others again have been worked for development purposes as long as the locators' money or credit lasted, and were then left to be relo- cated by some more fortunate, who, at the first shot or a few days work, opened up big paying mine. In stances are not wanting to prove thls. Mines which once sold for a song made

The mineral value of our western mountains is just as tangible source of wealth as are those of the agricul- tural lands of the United States, and money invested in the one is just as safe and secure as in the other. but with this difference: The profits or income from our mineral resources through mining are immensely greater and quicker than are possible to be eN- pected from agricultural resources through farming, says the Des Moines uowa Mining News. The business of extracting the minerals from their ores is as legitimate as any other occu- patton or profession, while it is much more fascinating and profitable. There is another element of satisfaction in mining to men and women of con science; riches in many businesses come through oppression, and from taking advantage of the necessities and adverse conditions of fellow men; not so in mining There is no blood on the golden treasure dug from the earth. 1t is clean, and the way the wealth k gotten is clean.

Mines which are counted as worth less today may yet become the makers of milliOnaires, says the Des Moines Qowal Mining News. Who knows? But there Is one thing which may be put down as fact, and that is this: Industry. perseverance, the expendit- ure of intelligently directed capital have created more mineral wealth in one year than has been preserved in a decade by the slothful and fearful who dare not venture a dollar for fear he will never see it again. Brave hearts, strong arms and determined spirits have been the sesame" which opened the Aladdin caves of the west and the great northwest and revealed their wealth to the world. These are they who seldom condemn mine; they may leave prospect alone.

the purchasers millonaires, and pros poets with favorable indications and fine assays made others paupers. The history of mining during the past fifty years records numerous instances of just such unlocked for results. And still, mining as a rule, with experi- enced men at the head of operations, is no more hazardous than cultiyating q farm whose products may be de- Stroyed by a drouth or a swarm of To- custS, says the DeS MoineS Iowa Mining News.
 There is growing demand for mica in the United States, and as Ari- zona is producing nearly every other mineral employed in the arts and sci ences, it is not at all unlikely that mica will contribute to our output as soon as the prospector learns that it is all article of commerce, with val nation of 5000 per ton, and with that end in view we reproduce the follow ing from Modern Machinery, which, while speaking of mica and its uses, says: Bengal holds the first place in the production, both in amount and quality, of mechanical mica. ilazari- bagh mines alone employ 5,5S7 per sons. Great Britain, Germany and the United States are the chief buyers. Mica is indispensable in the manufac- ture of dynamos, and other electrical work. Large sheets of ruby mica are used as covering for the peep-holes of furnaces, where extreme heat is re- quired, it's imperviOusness to rodiant heat and it's incombustibility making it invaluable for this purpose. Ex- periments have shown that mica films answer better than abestos as boiler packing The air spaces between the films of abestos allow of the escape of heat. The mica being in thin flexible plates, there is less air space, and con- seQuently less escape of heat. Boiler packing of pure sheet mica gives 3C per cent better results than abestos.

 but development work only will de,
 monstrate whether it has a conner
 cial value, much depending upon the
 uniformity of color and size of the
 sheet, though its increasing demand
 has made place for the minute par
 tices and it's usefulness is on the in crease.

The attention of the Arizona press should be directed toward our mining industry. Although capital is seeking investment in our mines, there should be no relaxation on the part Of Arl- zona newspapers to keep before the public our vast mineral resources. To the press is due in great measure our present era of mining prosperity, but it should be borne in mind that the industry is but in its infancy, and to speak of it as it really is and make known the superior advantages await ing the Investor will hasten an expan' sion in the business and put Arizona at the head of the column as copper and gold producer. All that is needed to accomplish this is the magic toucf of the capitalists wand. Let us give less attention to politics and cooper ate in furthering our general interests Mining is the paramount question other things will shape themselves II the cogrse of events.

The eastern press IS grasping the significance of our country's mineral production. It is realizing its great importance, and catching glimpses of the possibilities of the country's future output. Speaking of it, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: "A country that has reached an annual mineral output of s7OO, 100000, and doubled it in seventeen years, has business pos abilities for which history has no par allel. And as yet in the United States the surface has only been scratched" In no other section of the United States is this more applicable than in Ari- zona: scratching with a few eXcep- tions, is all that constitutes mining in this territory, but it is pleasant to note that in every instance where any considerable depth has been attained the miner has been rewarded for his labor and well reimbursed for his eX- penditure of funds. These facts have been observed by conservative mining 
 men and, as a consequence, more mines are changing hands in Arizona today than in any other portion of the great north and southwest. The fact has been indisputably established that our mines are larger and richer than those found elsewhere, growing in quantity and quality as development ! proceeds, with climate which admits of 365 days work Tn the year with no expensive machinery lying idle half the time, it is an ideal mining field :; and it is no wonder that men who eX- act quick and sure returns for invested capital are interesting themselves in the mines of Arizona. They are men who have ample means and who know well the conditions that confront them; they know that scratching" upon the surface of the earth will not compensate for the time; they are men who are stimulated to action by the facts as they exist-lured hither by the successes of others, others who dared to risk and found the coveted reward in deep mines. True, "the surface has only been scratched over" but the day is not far distant when l Arizona will boast more producing mines than any similar area in the world. But even then the scratch ing'' continues; there are many square miles of mining territory yet to be traversed by the horny-handed prospector, and he will continue to scratch then, as he does today. | But the times will have changed d- there will be a greater demand for our mines and as these. persevering, in- domitable prospectors tread over our virgin mining ground pointing out the rich mineral deposits capitalists will follow in their wake with plethoric purse and benign smile, ready and anxious to assist in demonstrating to the world and to add to their coffers that scratching the surface" is the first essential to successful mining. The prospector is an indispensable auxiliary, but we need some one to verify his judgment.

Ills Sweet in the Country Now.

The country never looked more
beautiful than it does just now. The
recent rains have caused the fields to
assume robes Of the deepest emerald,
and the wheat and clover are growing
splendidly. The foliage of the trees
is rich and abundant, and whichever
way the eye is turned masses of living
green of many shades greet the be-
holder, varied here and there with
trees in bloom. Our lovely Shenan-
doah Valley, always charming, is sur
passingly glorious in its fresh spring
beauty, with vale and hill and wood
land varying in their attractiveness,
and the azure mountains walling in
the enchanting scenes on the east and
the west. Truly it seems good to live
in such country. Would that the
city folks could see and enjoy it now
that the country is looking its lowell
est.
We reckon no living person has
ever seer a greater amount Of locust
bloom than that which is now loading
the air with its fragrance. Every tree
is mass Of white blossoms, the small
est bushes contributing their share to
the general adornment that nature is
lavishing upon the landscape. The
views from some points in this viciui-
ty, where locust trees are plentiful,
are beautiful beyond description. The
old saying is that the amount Of locust
bloom indicates the quantity Of corn
the ensuing season. Ifthis holds good
this year our farmers will have to en-
large their granaries. Weather
Prophet VIII Hill, however, says that
there will be little corn raised here
this year.
The wheat is growing nicely now,
but the crop will not likely be large
one. In some fields it has been frozen
out more or less, while there is likely
to be considerable damage Oh account
of the prevalence Of that pest to the
farmers, the glen weed. Some fields
are filled with this troublesome weed.
Most of the farmers have gotten
through with corn planting, and some
fields are already up and growing
nicely.
One result of the intensely cold
weather last winter is apparent now
that the trees have come out in full
foliage-all the mulberry shade trees
have been killed, or nearly so. There
are a number Of them in Shepherds
town, and stroll around the streets
has failed to show one that is living.
Many of the silver-leaf naples are also
dead or dying. The best and the
handsomest of our native trees Is the
sugar maple, and we are glad to note
that they are being planted almost ez-
clusively for shade trees in town.
