The Eureka Copper Mines

This group of copper claims, situat.
ed seven miles northwerterly from
Globe and trending across one of the
gulches tributary to Miami fiat and
about one mile south of the Black
Warrior mines, is turning out far be.
yond the expectations of its purchas.
ers, Warren Young and Edward E.
Reed. The claims were bought at a
nominal figure from John White and
others.
Here is another instance where the
locator learned little of the value OF
his claim because of failure to have
the ores thoroughly tested by assays
and to do practical development work
The price paid for this particular claim
so the writer is informed, was $500
and now with but slight development
there is uncovered at least $4,000
which is very easily figured at the
present price of copper.
For example, there is a body of fine
gravel four hundred feet long, two
hundred and fifty feet wide and ten
feet thick, and carrying at least IA pen
cent copper. One man can blast out
a carload with three or four shots; al
low ~. 80 team haul tn the railroad, ~
per ton car freight and not over SIG
smelling charges, and the value OF the
ore can be easily computed. The
price paid for the mine is little more
than that paid for the average lot in q
rural town. What dividend Oh cap
ital invested in Arizona!
The ledge proper of this mine is a
well defined vein about 60 feet in
width. but the formation which marks
the walls is about 200 feet on either
side of the vein. which is highly i'm.
pregnated with mineral and averages
about 7 per cent by leaching or fire
tests. The copper in the cement was
deposited by percolation, as if nature
had thrown it in for good measure.
The company is building a road to
the cement beds, where they will erect
chutes to receive the ore, from which
to load the wagons, Hauling will bs-
gin in the course of week. The
company is employing every available
man. l.. j. =.

The Harqua Hala mine was not sold
at auction, says the Phoenix Herald.
The highest bid for the mines was
s50l0, which was promptly rejected
by c. H. Lindley, attorney aud aue-
tioneer. A number of bidders were
present, but all seemed rather hmld
and the sale WAS disappointment. \
q. Hubbard who sold the mines to the
present owners few years ago
for 81, $50. 900 was the high
est bidder. 1t is understood that
arrangements were made later IN
the week whereby Mr.. Hubbard will
again get possession of the property,
but the consideration was not made
public.

The West Point Cadetship.

The ,,lobc Times Published in its
last issue a copy of letter written by
II. j Messenger TO the editor OF the
SILVER BELr, which Mr.. Messenger
evidently thinks contains valuable in
formation that the public ought to
know.
We did not as he says, take eXcep-
tions to the policy of Col. J. +, Wilson
in appointing A, G.. Peudleton Jr. to
u cadetship to West Point We
charged the responsibility where it
properly belongs, upon the two men
who urged the appointment Of young
Pendletou, and to whom we must now
add Mr.. Messenger, the three fotming
the triumyirate that assumes to speak
for the whole democratic party OF Gila
county. Col. Wilson, in all probabil-
lty, knew nothing OF the yonng man
he appointed at their solicitation at
least we will give him the benefit OF the
doubt. We don't believe that Col.
Wilson would lend himself to such a
scheme.
4 cadetship is Just as much II politi-
cal perquisite Ms any apponnve office
in the gift of territorial or county Off
cials, unless We admit that merit alone
should govern, in which case compet-
tive contest open to the whole territory
would be the only course applicable.
The talk of honoring Gila county by
the appointment of native son is SEN
timental claptrap, put forth to conseal
the true motive for the preferment OF a
republican by SO called democrats,
which was to pay personal political
debts. Gila county had no better
claim to the appointment than had
Graham, Plnal. or several other eoun-
ties, und If Gila had no candidate
whose democracy was unqnestioned
she should have rehnquished her claim.
II were Illuminating admission
(which the So. called democratic hackers
ot young Pendleton inierentlally ns'
sertJ that of the many young men IN
ella county whose democracy Is undis'
puted, there Is none with sufficient
brains and education To be eligible ior
the place The fact seems to be that
no effort was made to ascertain whether
or not there was democrat in the
county who wanted the appointment.
II WAS n star chamber proceeding
wholly indclensible. in which opinion
We think all sound democrats. acquain-
ted with the facts, will agree

Expanding the Army.

Ii is evident from the vigorous meas
ures set on foot by the war department
that mn extraordinary attempt is to lac
made to crush the insurrection III the
Philippines If the efforts of the Fill
pinos to accomplish their liberty aud
prevent the invasion OF their country
by foreign power csn be called insur-
rection. Every few days of late press
dispatches from Washington have an
nounced the further increase OF the
army until now the number of rolun-
teer regiments has been advanced to
twenty-three, aggregatlng %, 300 men,
which together with the 60, 600 men OF
the regular army, will give total
strength of "a, 300 men Gen. 0,ls is
to be given 80, 600 men, and reserve
force of i3, 900 men is to be held IN
the United States to recruit the ranks
in the Philippines and keep It IN nm ef-
fectiye condition.
The people of the United States are
aware of the serious aspect Of the war
in the Philippines. and the administra-
ton has came to realize that there is a
growing sentiment of dissatisfaction
throughout the country because of
what appears an unnecessary prolonga-
tion of the conflict II as the admin
istration mouthpieces proclaim we are
fighting against a horde OF savages, 1t
was only reasonable to expect that the
admitted superiority OF the American
forces in Intelligence, valor and equip
ment should have counted for more
than the actual results have thus far
shown. aud which doubtless would have
been the case had the conduct of the
campaign been in the hands of a more
competent general thau Otis.
Nevertheless. we have discovered
that Aguinaldo is not foe to be de-
spised, Although repeatedly repnlsed,
he continues to harruss our army and
to reoccupy territory not garrisoned
by our forces. The killing OF few
thousand Tagals seems to have caused
no appreciabe lessening OF the mum
Der of the hostile natives, nor IN the
least disheartened them for the con-
flict. The fact is We have mderesti-
mated the intelligence and valor of the
Filipinos, and the error is proving to
be Il costly one.
The war has in it none Of the ele'
ments which arouse enthusiasm and
promote patriotism among people
such as the Americans III whom the
spirit OF liberty and justice is inbred.
There is the conviction Ill many minds
that the war might and should have
been avoided, and if it is now too late
to accomplish peace by pacific meas
ures, then they want to see the war
vigorously prosecuted and brought to
a speedy end.

An idea of the immense scale on
which they mine in Michigan may be
imagined from the remarks OF Presi-
dent Agassiz at the annual meeting of
the Calumet y Heca company. He
stated that five new shafts would be
opened on the amygdaloid lode, giving
u length of from 10, 600 to IL 900 feet
on the lode. This will incur an ex-
penditure of S1,000,000 Openings at
the Red Jacket shaft. he said, are the
hest at the mine, This is the deepest
shaft. 1t is probable that the company
will build 100 or 150 new houses dur
ing the year for its employees. Since
the annual report was issued No. 16
shaft has been opened, which gives five
shafts Ia the amygdaloid lode.

The murder of Miss Bertha Wahl,
at Springerville, was one of the most
dastardly acts ever recorded 10 the
criminal annals of Arizona. 1T was
unprovoked. SO fiendish in its concep-
tion and deliberately carried out that
it affords no palliation. The Mexican
murderer simply said he was feeling
bad and wanted to do something despe-
rate. and he selected defenseless girl
as his victim. There are instances
where the law is entirely too slow in
Furnishing crime, and this is certainly
one of them. 1t is surprising that the
people of Springerville did not take
the law i'll their own hands and visit
swift and awful punishment upon the
inhuman wretch, in doing which they
were fully warranted.

Senator Morgan has repuaiated the
interview which quoted him rs being
opposed to Bryan's denomination. He
says: democrats should abide by the
Chicago platform, without any amend,
ment or modification; that he would be
entirely satisfied with any nominee who
would sincerely accept that platform
as the basis of his political administra.
ton; that Ill case the republicans
should pass their currency bill, silver
would again become the leading, pre-
dominating Issue of the next prcsiden.
tlal campaign; that Mr. Bryan, as the
democratic leader on that plank of the
Chicago platform, would be the logical
nominee of the party. The republ.
cans who favor the single gold standard
have all the time, since 1878. been de-
termined to swing the country back to
the condition it was left in by the Sher-
man act That act denied coinage to
the silver dollar and took away the le-
gal tender quality of that coin when
payments exceeded the sum Of SO. on
that question ! hive little doubt that
every democrat and every man who
claims to be bimetallist in the United
States will vote for the democratic
nominee, aud think silver man will
be elected president.

Parodoxical as it may seem, there is
convict who wants to remain IN the
territorial prison at Yuma the balance

of manslaughter, at Prescott, more

guilt, and his attorney obtained new
trial for him, much against the prison
