Another Copper Deal.
From the Globe Times.l

It has been known in Globe for the past thirty days that the Old Domin- ion people were favorably impressed with the possibilities of the Conti- mental ground, and not until last week was it matter of record.
 The first indication that the deal would go through was the purchase of Harrison Jewell's claim near the Continent. It is said the Jewell prop erty is one of the best prospects in the country.
 The Continental is an old property aud has been considered one of the prospects that our people looked to for future benefits. Now that the Old Dominion people are in possession, Superintendent Parnell will not be long in knowing how much merit there is in the Continental and other claims that have been bonded.
 This deal insures the further em- ployment of at least 200 more men. This with the operations under way on Pinto creek, that part of the coun- try will be very prosperous.
 Wm, Stewart, Charles Dickson and James Il. Paseoe have bonded the Argus and Standard located near the Continental, to the same parties, receiving percentage down.
 Jessie E. Silankiand has alao been lucky in having some claims that are wanted in the deal. Mir. Shankland was foreman of the Continental while it was worked under the direction of N. L. Amster.
 The Continental is the possessor of the best water privileges in that sec tion. It is free from mineral and no doubt can be developed to supply large plant.

The following is from the pen of Missouri editor: Drink and the gang drinks with you, swear off and you go it alone, for the bRr-room bum who drinks your rum has a quenchless thirst of his own. Feast and your friends are many, fast and they cut you cold; they'll not get mad if you treat them bad, so long as their stomachs are fed. Steal if you get million, for then you can furnish bail l; it's the great big thief who gets out on leave, while the little one goes to jail. Advertise and the dollars will come {; quit and they fail to arrive; for how are men who have money to spend go ing to know you are still alive"

The ancients believed that rheuma- tism was the work of a demon within a man. Any one who has had an attack of seiatic or inaammatory rheumatism will agree that the infiiction is de naoniae enough to warrant the belief. l. has never been claimed that Cham beslain's Pain Baln would cast out demons, but it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement. One applica- tion relieves the pain, and this quick relief which it affords is alone worth many times it's cost. For sale by Brockway's Pharmacy.

postaoe to be Reduced to One Cent.

The enormous increase in the num- ber of letters carried in the U IS. mails makes it certain that the rate of post age must eventually be reduced to one cent an ounce. The President who succeeds in getting such measure through Congress win hold high place in the esteem of the people, but no higher than the esteem in which everybody holds Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This medicine has an unequal led record in reducing the sickness of mankind. It gets at the starting point of disease by acting upon the stomach direct, helping that important organ in its duty of digesting food. It makes good appetites, allays nervousness, stimulates the kidneys, and makes rundown man or woman feel like a rew person. Try it.

Pay of LeaisIators.


 Under the head of Raising the Limit" the Tucson Frontier prints the following rather pointed editorial:
 The motley crew that convened in Phoenix in January anl for sixty days struggled to ''mal1e laws"-we believe they had the official title of 'legis- latureo-coneluded one day that the pay for their hard and self-sacrifcing work was inadequate, and thereupon they memorialized Congress to in- crease the per diem remuneration of Arizona Lawmakers" from $4 to $8 (we believe it was $8). There is little room to doubt that many good citizens refuse to serve in the legislature because of the fact that the pay does not cover the expenses. For the chap who goes for the money there is in it, the size of the per diem cuts little ice. His salary he figures as mere cigar money. If he fails. to average $25 on the side, it is because he has not worked all his chances. There were members in the late legislature who could show up at the gaming table night after night with from s20 to $50 and Sl00 to play of. They lived at the best hotels and boarding houses and yet had DO visible means of sup port, aside from their $4 per day as lawmakers" It was because of such facts and rights that we silently ap- proved of tue memorial for a raise in remuneration of our lawmakers. It would be money well spent Eight dollars per day is little enough for a reputable, intelligent citizen who must drop his own business affairs and live away from home. And $8 per day will probably be an inducement for more of the better men to accept. Our own conviction is that if the pay was $l5 per day the Territory would be winner in a decade, by an immense sum, not to mention the other incal- culable benefits that would result from a high grade of citizenship in the legislature. But, strange to say the reverse policy is almost universally pursued in this country. A few states pay their legislators by the session or per annum, but out of thirty-four states and territories under the per diem plan the average pay to legisla- tors is $4.65, some allowing mileage and some not. The minimum per diam pay is by Rhode Island. It is $l. The maximum is by our neighbor, California. She pays $S. However, there are some exceptions to these pitiful allowances for such unspeaka- bly, important work, and the excep- tions are such good authority IS to persuade us into holding by our opin- ion that it would be wiser to pay good salaries to our lawmakers. Illinois all lows $i ,000 a session; Massachusetts, $750 per annum; New York, sl 800 per snnun; Ohio, $500 per annum; and Pennsylvania, $l 300 per annnm.

Stages leave Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, and the incoming stages are on the day following. MT. Hockett is one of the most competent managers in the west.
