 Messrs. George and Mark Wanless, have recently denounced very promising copper property within three hours ride of Hermosillo which has long laid open to location but was considered by no one worthy of atten- tion. They have uncovered sixty foot ledge of good copper ore carrying some value in gold.
 Phoenix Republican: Geo. Mitchell, president of the Cobre Grande com pany, came up from the mine yester- day and is at the Hotel Adams. He says that the shelter is turning out all the bullion possible under limit- ed supply of water. A four-mile pipe line to the Cananea mountains will be built, when an adequate supply will be had.

 The case of Mrs. Evelyn Collier, | the American wcman who killed a man at Ures in March, has been heard in the supreme court, and the deci- sion of the lower court confirmed.

FERRY COMMITTEE MEETS.

| The Matter, Of Condemnation Of Land
!or eferrys Purposes to GO to Court.
Inc joint Ferry Committee mat yes
terday afternoon, with the following
members present: ]. Davis Reed, Saml
y. Montague, D. w. Balentine. from the
city, and John a. Codd and e. M. TIL
ley. from the county.
MIR. Q. r. Nash, one Of the owners OF
the property wanted, appeared before
the committee by invitation. Mr.. Codd
was requested to act as chairman and
Mr.. Reed as secretary.
Inc chairman stated to Mr.. Nash that
he had been requested to be present In
order that his opinion in regard to the
sale of his property might be had, and
to see If possible if a conclusion could
not be reached.
Mr.. Nash said that he did not care
to dispose of his property even at the
price (s2O.000) twenty thousand dollars
which he had named. He would prefer
that the committee would get along
without his property, as it would break
him up in business.
Mr. Reed asked II he could not secure
some property opposite to his present
place of business?
Mr.. Nash said that he did not know.
Mr.. Reed said that he knew that
more property than he had for sale
| could be purchased at less than half OF
what he charged.
Mr.. Nash said that he preferred stay
ing where he was unless the committee
would compensate him for breaking w
MS business. and that he considered
the price named would do that.
The committee stated that they had
hoped that they would be able to get
him to accept the $4,000 offered. This
| he positively declined to accept
Mr. Reed. by the map, showed that
the ferry lessees had sold TO the co,n-
mittee 1900 square feet of land, includ-
ing 1l3 feet OF water front. for $4,000
while he only had 10000 feet and
wanted $4,000. and that the 10000 feet
did not include any water front and
the property was on q lane, while Mr.
Brooks had sold the same amount--10,
OU0 feet-with house valued at $1,000
for $500. and that his property was
on street. They did not consider
there was any reason in Mr.. Nashs
price, as Mr.. Norman Cassell had
| bought a lot near there-2Sx1O4 feet
for $500.
motion was then made and was
adopted. that the two committees in
| form their respective bodies that 1t was
| useless to delay any longer, and that
| they ask the courts to condemn Mr..
Nash's property for the use of the
| ferry.
| Mr.. Montague said. in answer to a
| question as to when the ferry between
Portsmouth and Berkeley would be
started again. that 1t was the intention
| of the committee to put the Ports
mouth on yesterday. but her paint was
not sufficiently dry. but positively that
the regular ferries would all be run
ming by Monday. and that the Norfolk
County would not be taken Off until the
Superior was ready to go on the line.
Mr.. Reed said that the committee had
conferred with the lessees In regard to
charging fare for children under years
of age, but had not heard from them
| yet

Science After TuhercnlosiS,

Washington, June 29-Surgeon J. c.
Boyd, of the navy, one of the United
States delegates to the recent Tuber-
culosis Congress in Berlin, is prepar-
ing a report for the department on the
work of the congress. Dr. Boyd thinks
the results of the congress will be i'm
portant. The chief question now in
teresting the profession is the prepara-
tlon of an effective serum to combat
the disease. The most promising work
in this connection is that of DR.. Behr-
ing, one Of the most prominent of the
European specialists. The results OBJ
tanned by DR.. Behring have attracted
the attention of the medical world and
are being as rapidly pushed as is con-
sistent with careful scientific work.
The profession sees no reason why the
development of a tuberculosis serum
SHOULD, not revolutlonize the mortality
rate in consumption as much as has
the development of the anti-toxine of
diphtheria. The development Of the
consumption sanitariums in Europe is
another matter that has attracted
much interest among the profession on
IS side of the Atlantic 1t is now as
sured that the disease in its earlier
stages can be checked With the
building up of the patients general
condition he is less liable to recur-
renee of the disease after leaving the
institution, even if the lung tissue al
ready destroyed cannot be replaced.
Even in advanced stages the disease
can be so checked that an individual
may with care and good climate live
out>his allotted span with only frac-
tion of the lung area possessed Dy a
normal subject.

not see the work Mr.. Bayard did at
tne time he gave expression to senti-
ments which possibly had no reality
in England and he knew it. We did
not know it and blamed him, But he
was laying foundation and aeeOmp-
lished the marvellous work of prepar-
ing the way for the grand revolution
in popular sentiment on both sides OF
the Atlantic.
81 go back confident that we have
good times coming in the United

the last struggle are forging to the
front, and the fight VIII be keen and
stiff, and, as the report goes, no man
can tell the issue with any success till

AIger for the Senate,

Governor Pingree. of Michigan, in
formed the public last week that he
had entered into an alliance with Sec
retary Alger to prevent the repomina-
ton OF Senator Mcmillan and procure
the nomination Of the Secretary. i'm his
place On the 23d instant he pub
lished his decision, and warned his po-
litlcal associates that they could not
De classed as his friends if they would
support Mr.. Mcmillan. He has ascer-
tanned, he said, that the Secretary was
ION the right side of The two greatest
questions of the day" because he was
foe of the trusts and was in favor of
the election of Senators by direct vote
of the people. This announcement was
followed by a statement from. Secre-
tary Alger--who had been visiting his
pol. icai friends in Mlchfgan-confirm-
ing the Governors assertions concern
ing his candidacy and his attitude to-
ward "the two greatest questions of
the day." aTtho he remarked that it
was "a little early to say that trusts
and trust legislation are to be- great
factors in coming elections" 1t was
true, however. that he was "a foe to
those great amalgamatlons," and he
went on at some length to point out
what were, in his opinion, the evils re-
sulting from "the concentration of
wealth in trusts" and attending the
election of Senators by Legislatures.
He remarked that Senator Mcmillan
would have the assistance of Senator
Burrows, his colleague, and that there
would be "a fair stand-up fight" The
gossip at Washington is that Senator
Burrows is politician of considerable
experience; that Senator Mcmillan is
known as supporter of the admins
| tration while Governor Pingree has
opposed it; that the Secretary and the
Governor, in alliance, can scarcely ex-
pect to be assisted by the favor of the
administration; and that the Secre-
tarys sense of propriety may prevent
him from retaining his place in the
Cabinet while engaged in his cam
paign for Senator McMillan's seat.
The Secretary remarks that he does
mot intend to retire from the Cabinet
and the friends of Senator Mcmillan
say that ne should not be allowed to
use the patronage of the War Depart
ment for his own benefit in the contest
