Santa Cruz County.

Worlds Fair mine, have returned from visit in Colorado and Calif0r- nia.
 The new shaft on the Mowry mine, in the Patagonia mountains, Is now down 250 feet, and at a further depth, of twenty five feet drifting will con- mence. Lumber Is being hauled for concentrator, for which machinery has been ordered.
 At the Hardshel mine, near Har- shaw, in the Patagoni, mountains, development work continues, and the machinery for the concentration is patiently awaited. OvercrOwded or ders at the foundry have delayed it's shipment.
 Last week Mir J. c. Smith, superin- tendent of the Hardshell mine, was called into Tucson by the serious III. ness of his little boy. He returned to the mine Wednesday of the present week, the little fellow having re- covered.
 Last week Mir J. H. Wilfiey, of the firm of Gee x Wilfley, owners of the Pride of the West mine, was at Wash. ington Camp, and Is expected to re- turn again next week to witness the starting of the new concentration. He was called home to Denver, on busi- ness.
 Mike Maloney is developing very promising copper property on the west side of the Patagonias, about six miles east of Rancho Bellotal, on the Santa Cruz. The ledge is between four and six feet wide and the ore taken out runs high in copper. Five men are now at work sinking on the ledge. Several other claims are be- ing worked in the vicinity, and qnite camp is springng up. It Is the in- tention Of MT. Maloney to open a store out there in short time from now.
 The new concentrator at Washing ton Camp is approaching completion, and it is now expected that it will be ready to start the machinery ty the 10th inst. It will reduce about eighty tons of ore daily, and the necessary work of extraction of ore and opera tion of the machinery will doubtless give employment to large force of men. When but forty tons of ore were shipped daily about l25 men were employed in the mine. So near ly double that force will be necessary in the mine, beside those necessary in the mill.
 MT. N. K. Chapin is building new trail from Washington Camp to the Santa Cruz. The cost has been de- frayed by contributions taken up in the camp. MT. Chapin, who was over at Nogales last Saturday, says that they are making good thoroughfare four feet wide, which at cost of three hundred dollars ln gold can be widened out so blackboard or light buggy can make the trip across the mountains. The people of Nogales ought to contribute the necessary money and widen out the trail to road while the work is in hand. The money could be raised along Morley avenue in very short time.

partment yesterday by Gen. Davis in

most pressing needs at all accessible points with
stores now on hand. So great is destru ction of
roads that there is communication yet with
one-third the island. The commanding of1cer

Washington, Aug. 16.-The problem
OF transportation in the Philippines
has been under consideration by the
war department for some time. It Is
expected that at the end of the rainy
season it will be necessary to move the
troops some distance from the railroad
and at the present time the means OF
transportation are not sufficient for q
large army and extensive operations
The difficulty has been met by send
ing mules to Manila IN large num-
bers. The quartermaster's depart
ment has already shipped about 600
of these animals and will send go
more very soon. There are nearly 9, coo
more owned by the department. which
will be sent if needed. These animals
will not only be used for transporting
supplies in wagons, but it is intended

guns and equipments where teams can
not be utilized. The indications ara
that the campaign after the rainy sea-
son is to be conducted not only along
the railroad, where Gen. Otis has con-
fined most of his operations, but that
the interior of Luzon will be pene-
trated

Ticket in the Field.

Washington. Aug. Ex-senator Clay,
of Georgia, democrat, is quoted in
the midsummer political gossip here as
having expressed the belief that there
would be an anti-expansion republican

Continental Republican" and though
it is not believed that it will be posi-
BILE to get former Speaker Reeds con-

who is high in the counsels of the anti
.eXpansionists, is talked of as the con-
tinental republican candidate for the
presidency and it is said that the anti

regular republican ticket from carry
ing any of the New England states.

M'KINLEY IS BLAMED.
The Anti-Imperialist League Issues Pro-
nunciamento Which Says the Presidents
Could Stop the War.

Boston, Aug. 16.-The Anti-ImperiaIs
ist league at a meeting yesterday voted
to issue pronunciamento, which was
given out last night, through its presi-
dent, ex-Gov. George S. Boutwell,. The
document asserts that the anti-imperi-
alist movement has made rapid progress
in the past five months and declares:
This league is carrying the contest.
and it will continue to carry it on upon the idea
and in the belief that the president of the United
States, especially, is responsible for the war,
and that President Mckinley at any moment,
or the United States acting through him
through a successor. can bring the war to an
end. It is our purpose to aid in bringing the
to end, and, in advance, we reject any
and every scheme of compromise. Our infor-
nation and experience justify the opinion that
the body of anti-imperialiStS the country over
will disregard the claims of domestic questions.
Subordinating them one and all to the single
purpose of comprehensive public policy-th6
purpose to bring the army Of the United States

More About Mr. Green.

James L. Green, the Kansas boy
mentioned as having been killed in a
duel in Havana, lived in Labette coun-
ty. His experience as Cuban soldier
has been varied and several times he
has been reported killed. His sister,
Mrs. J. S. Smith, who resides at Che
topa, does not credit the story that he
is dead, having received letter from
him only few days ago dated at Man
tanzas. The fact that Mr.. Green has
"a wife and child living near Oswego
and that he has never secured a divorce
