 A BIsBEE MINING DEAL.
 The Little Jessie and Della s. min ing claims in the Turquoise district, about a mile and a half from Pearca, were bonded this week to Los Ange4es parties represented by E. A. Clark, ac- ccrding to the Orb Thessl are the same claims that were. underbonded some time since, but owing to the par ties having them unde9 bond disagree ing among thems5lvej the bond was forfeited
 On the Little Jessie considerable de- velopment work has been done \ shaft sixty feet d-eD has been sunk which shows a small ledge of lew grade gold ore, some pieces taken from the ledge showing considerable free god. A tunnel 120 feet long has also been run to connect with the bottom of the shaft, and in doing so neither ledge was crOsscut, which also shows considerable free gold.
 The Little Jessie is ownsd by Charles Bacigaluai, J. E. Butler and the editor of the Orb, while the Della s is owned by George Bravin, J. L. Butler and Nat Hawke.
 The bond extends over a period Of eighteen months and provides for six ty shifts work to be done each month during the life of the bond. The price placed cn the claim is S2O, GOO. Work is to be commenced within sixty days and 1t is thel intention to push the work as rapidly as possible.

FINE WOLFRAM DEPosI T.
A New York Expert Found It in g.
 Pima County Mina.

Tucson, April 22.-(SQecial ccrre- spondence of The Republican.) Dur ing the early days of the prospector $ operations in southern Arizona there was discovered a mine in the Las QuijaS range of mountains south ot Tucson which was never regarded O1 much value owing to its remote loca- ton from civilization. The mine was known as an ordinary gold and silver property, and the ere was often passed upon by prospectcTs as valueless for milling owing to the presence Of man Ganese in large quantities.
 A short time ago a mining expert came out here from New York in quest Of mineral product called wolfram, which carries tungsten. He heard of this miEa, which had fallen into the possession of Bent and Sampson or Tucson and the description of the ore attracted his attention lie took the long trip across the desert to the property and made a careful examina- ton. His assay returns showed that the ore carried a large per cent of wolfram, the metal which he was look ing for He secured a bond on the mine and a few days ago returned to New York, where he will make his re- port to the capitalists who sent him here.
 The mine lies in a. mineral zone of So,d and silver veins. Near at hand is the Grant gold mine which is being developed by Tucson parties with good success and all about are excellent prospects. But the principal interest in the district is in the outcome of the eastern eXpsrt's visit When he left there he stated that his mission had been fulfilled, which was taken by the prospeotors and miners as an indica- ton that he would look no farther for the mineral he. came after. He stated that the wolfram product of the mine, aside from the gold and silver values, would make it one of the most profit able mining properties in the United States. The deposit is contained in vein which lies between substantial walls of porphyry and granite which gives it a promise of permanency which is beyond mere speculation. The first wolfram ore found in Arizona was located in lime formation which is net regarded as favorable for con- tinuity. As this is a new line of min- ing in Arizona the question of forma- ton is regarded by mining men as largely one of speculation.
 The value of wolfram ore is in the percentage of tungsten it contains. This is an element in the commercial world which science has but recently brought into use for hardening steel and the demand for tungsten has al- ready started prospeotors in search Uf wolfram ore. The first important dis c0very was made in the Dragoon mountains about six months ago. Ore from the new strike was brought to this city and concentrated at the uni versity of Arizona. This was done in

The Maine Chief Iusticeshir.

For some time the intention Of Chlei
Justice Peters to lay down soon the
burdens Of his high office have beeh
well understood by the people q
Maine, and 50 his formal resignation
which was received by Governor
Powers, Tuesday, was not III the
nature of a surprise. But this does not
make less keen the regret which is UNI
versallv felt that the chief justice
should deem this step necessary. Tn"
definite knowledge that the eminent
iurist who has been so long and 50
illustriously connected with the bench,
is to sever his connection with It IL 4
few weeks time. is not pleasing in
formation The people of Maine not
only respect Chief Justice Peters as a
high legal authority and an upright
Judge, but his personality has won him
a hold upon their hearts such as few
public men have ever acquired. His
long and faithful service has earned
him vacation; and in his retirement
from the bench he not only has the
gratitude Of all Maine for the work
he has done. but deep feeling Of per
sonal regard and the wish of all tha,
lis life may be yet prolonged through
many more years of happiness.
Maine has ever been a fortunate
State in many respects. and in non"
more fortunate than in the ability and
character Of her judiciary. No state
has been honored with more dis
tinguished line of judges. The names
Of those who have served at the head
of our supreme bench, Mellon. Wes-
ton. Whitman, rh0.l-..'. :,re,- and
Appleton, and many of their associates
as well, will not soon be forgotten.
And in the long array Of judicial talent
Of which our State is proud no man
can hold a more honored place than
John A. Peters His service on the
bench covers p years, Il Of which have
been passed as its head. And no
bench ever had a more impartial judge.
His superb legal attainments are
matched only by the absolute fairness
which governs every official act. The
faith of the people in him has never
been misplaced. And So it is that they
give him the homage of their affect ms
as well as the tributes Of their minds.
No official announcement has been
made as to the successor Of Chief JUS
t.ce -'-t-.s. - appointment will be
made at an early date, how-ve., ana
it is Wen understood as an accepted
fact that the coveted honor Ntii be De

TIE EXPANSION POLICY
Receives the Eloquent Endorsement
Postmaster General Smith.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Jan. o.
Postmaster General Emory Smith ad-
dressed the Contemporary club tonight
on 'rhe future OF American foreign
politics" His speech was an eloquent
Endorsement OF the expansion policy. He
argued that this country has precisely
the same right TO acquire islands In the
Pacific that belongs 10 every other ma
ton and that In doing SO, we do not
trespass upon any othe. province or
transgresS any just rule OF conduct.
The Monroe doctrine is not affected, de-
ciared the speaker. adding: we are In
the Philippines and there We shall stag
IL the deliberate Judgment OF the
American people deems It best: we have
upheld the Monroe doctrine for three
quarters of q century and we shall con-
tinue 10 uphold It for all time to come
Its vitality and validity have rested on
our determination 10 maintain 1t and
upon the unwlllinRnesS OF. any Euro
pean power 10 come Into conflict with
us over Il. and 1t will be just aS vital
and valid with the same life blood OF ef-
ilcncy. IN the future as In tile past"
The postmaster general said the diff
culties raised by opponents Of the pol
icy are artificial; not Inherent In the sit
uatlon. but created by theories.
Continuing. he, said: Nothing could
be more Illogical than to saT that our
fRS should not remain In the Philip
pines because the people are untitled to
come under American control and then
to say that we ought not to undertake
to control them because they are enti-
tied to self government. How can they
be unified for American rule and vet
fitted 10 rule themselves? II American
rule remains they Will have prac,lca!

To turn the Philippines back to Spain
would have reopened bloody revolution

the treaty or OF expansion has been
brave enough 10 propose such thing.
To turn them over 10 any other power

SERIOUS SITUATION.
Washington Officials Arc AnNiously
Awaiting News From Otis.

.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1o.-Al-
though nothing OF an alarming nature
has been received from lloilo, there Is
no doubt that members OF the adln!nis-
tration view the situation as some Shat
serious and are anxiously awaiting fur
the: news. No apprehension. however.
Is felt, as to the result of any collision,
which might take place between United
States forces nov on the island and the
natives, but the President is very an
xious to avoid any encounter whatever.
He feels certain that II the natives can
be made 10 understand that this gov
ernment comes to them in a most
friendly and helpful spirit, there will be
no further trouble, and so he has given
Instructions to General Miller that the
utmost patience must be exercised and
every reasonable request granted In Or
der to avoid nm open rapture. Members
of the administration express the opin-
ion that the delay in the ratification OF
the treaty of peace has contributed no.
a little to the belliEerent spirit shown
by the natives, and as soon as that has
been disposed of il is believed that the
recalcitranS element Will accept II as 4
notice that the sovereignty o! the is
lands has. passed In fact 10 the Enited
States and that no opposltlon to It's
taking formal possession will be toler-
ated. g..5. i z -f-,zr.gr5,.
Al the cabinet meeting to-day the
situation IN the Philippines was gone
over and some time was given to ques-
tions OF administration In Cuba. 1t can
be stated on authority that such news
as has been received to-day from Gen.
Otis, Is rather reassurilg than other
wise as 10 the situation In the Philip
pines and that he made no aliuslon to
hostile collision. He has been instruct
ed 10 Use SentleaeSs In dealing with
the Insurgents ard to advice and CO.
operate with Admiral Dewey. There is
some reason 10 believe that the present
situation may be protracted longer than
would be naturally expected and that
there Will be no open hostIlities imme-
diately. II at all. The question has
arisen here as to the exact purpose 10
be served HOW in attempting 10 seize
llolio. Originally It was intended to re-
lease the Spanish force there besieged,
but by their evacuation OF that place
they have removed that incentive, and
we're 1t not for the false encouragement
1t would give the insurgents there Is lit
tie doub. that the United States troops
would not be moved against Iloio.
Meanwhile the navy Is expected to
draw Gordon around the island OF
Panay and also Luzon. should 1t be
deemed necessary TO do so. to prevent
the further supply of arms and nfuul-
tions of war TO the insurgents. Prob
ably the gunb1ats now there or en-
route will bc reinforced by the Machlas
