 OO0,OOO mark very closely; the
 Crowned King. with it's dividends oI
 Sl0,OO per month; McCabe with a
 big balance on the profit side of the
 ledger, the exact amount of which
 IS known only to its three owners;
 Red Rock which has but started up
 on successful and, barring aeci-
 dents, prosperous career, with its
 mill; the Senator mill pounding
 away day aud night grinding out
 the precious metal; the Zonis Cop
 per company, the Crown Point con-
 pany, the numerous enterprises
 under the management of C, P. Col
 ilas and the scores of other big and little mines which are being operat- ed, at profit, and the dozen or so other mills which are in operation, and others going up, all of these proclaim in thunder tones which cannot be drowned by the puny yaPs of calamity shriekers, of the prosperity of the county. The thousands of miners who are em- ployed all over the hills and noun talns, at good wages, and who are happy and contented, while they jingle the coin in their pockets, the reward of their labor, can we'll attest to the fact that just now, at least, fsvspai county is experiencing good times. despite the doleful mournful, hoot of the calamity howler.
 The TaIless Footing Howler gets of the following ~taIless toot" cal smity howl this morning in its ref erence 10 the old shoemaker's suicide yesterday: This is only one of the many thousands of other similar in de1es of the deathly sweep of the Mckinley wave of prosperity. As long as desperate and poverty stricken men are content to go quietly otf and hang themselves, the goldbugs and usurers will have cause to rejoice, for every death is a vote lost.t the cause of humanity and one vote less against a government of the trusts, by the trusts, and for the trusts" Reports from all over the country are in direct contradiction to the above calamity howl. Wages are being raised, industrial enter prises which were paralyzed by the last democratic administration are and are being started up again. Times are more prosperous than since 1892. Even here in Ari- zons times have not been SO pros, porous for years as they are at pres snt. Should a coal miner, however, 'ome here expecting to make a liv- ng at that VOC ation be would starye .o death, as there is nothing in that inc here. The same may be said of many other callings- The i'll lVck which befell the unfortunate man yho committed suicide was not aused on account of dull times here, Ior was it occasioned bv McKin 'ey's Administration. II The PheniI Gazette. which is the rgan of Jefersonian democracy in his territory and the exponent of efersonian democracy doctrine, ( 7ashes itself entirely of the initiat- { re aud referendum and says: The | iszette will not waste any more ime m discussing such fool Propo- Itions as is contained in the so- alled referendum. The organic act 4 ars the practice of such so-called I ,gislation. hence no further atten- I on will be given 10 the matter c n the above declaration the Gazette c strictly in line with the democratic Q of last year, which turned own the above doctrine, and with le voters of the territory who gave big majority against it, as incor- 2 orated in the republican platform. he democratic orators during the ,mpaigu shrieked wildly to judge ,e two parties by their platforms. D be democratic papers nearly 2 arped their presses denounciug the U publican platform, which favored |! le initiative and referendum. Vot- s, by good big majority, rendered a leir verdict in accordance with the b lea made by the press and orators U the democratic party. The Ga ,tte, with 6 consistency rarely found si nong democratic papers, now s, mply endorses the action of the convention and the yer |. ct of the people, without any Po- .ical whines or demagoguery pro- stations. !" The crew of the battle ship Iowa gently presented the former com lnder of the vessel, Capt. Robley A
 Evans. with a handsome sword,
 a mark of the esteem in which ey held him. The inscription on e sword was: Presented to Capt. q ,bley D. Evans, U. $. N, by the 1S S w of the |. s. s. Iowa" On the p 7erse side are the words: ''To our m To too just to take fallen foes, P' give this sword instead" These ! rds refer to Capt. Evans action o' |, to accept a Spanish cap m ms sword when it was offered 10 au
