N. A Mellor writes from Dudleyville
Arizona, that the aptiago group of
gold mines in which he is interested,
is developing into a bonanza. There
are three locations along the ledge,
which can be traced the entire distance.
The deepest shaft is 80 feet at the bot
tom of which the vein is four feet wide,
and from paintings it is estimated the
rock will go 500 to the ton. This prop
erty is On the recently segregated strip
from San Carlos Indian reservation,
and but short distance from the coal
fields. From all accounts this is the
coming district, as other equally valu-
able mines are being developed
Phoenix Herald.
A much talked of and apparently
beneficial move Is to secure, at the
coming first assessment of Santa Cruz
county, the appraisal of idle mining
claims at the full value which they are
held at by their owners. Many such
are held by sDeculators and companies
at high fictitious prices awaiting the de-
velOpment by those who are working
for the advancement of the country,
thus causing direct injury to all
whose interests are here. This meas
ure would aid the finances of the new
county directly and perhaps induce a
more rational attitude on the part Of
alien OwnerS.-Oasis.

MERIDEN. Conn, Sept. 12.-Dr. Nehe-

ferings of patients i'll beyond hope of re-
coveTy.
When a person is suffering from an
incurable disease he said, and a dag
nosis by competent physicians results in
the verdict that there is no help for the
patient, there is no reason why the suffer
er should not be given chloroform, if he
requests such action, and be assisted TO
pass out.
Il have administered chloroform under
such conditions and have always thought
that / was doing humane act. Why a
person should be obliged 10 suffer by the
aid of medical skill is more than l can
see.
According to my mind a person has a
perfect right TO say what shall be done
with his life He may live or die. Sui
eide is justiiiable in many cases, pro-
vided the suicide has no obligations. /
have advised persons TO commit suicide,
. telling them 10 drown themselves rather
than take acid. but SO far as / know no
one has followed my advice, not taking
me seriously. n.ace
Il do not believe a doctor should has

sent of all near relatives and OF the pa

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-In view of the
reports of the unsettled conditions of yes
terday's stock market it was to- have been
expected that the announcement of the
sudden death of Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt
would have exerted some further disturb
ing effect upon the speculative sentiment.
However, while the stock market opened
active and weak, the declines in the early
dealings were little more extensive than
those that appeared in the same period of
trading yesterday The New York Cen
trail, the stock which theoretically should
have been most seriously affected by Mr..
Vanderbilt's death, was very steady, 1t
being generally recognized that the de-
ceased capitalist had long since Withdrawn
from active business and from the man
agement of the properties with which his
name was identified and his death soon
ceased to exercise more than senti-
mental effect The trading, in the main,
was dominated, as it was yesterday, by
general apprehensions in regard to the
outcome of the monetary situation, and
such liquidation as appeared in the market
was plainly attributable to that circum-
stance. ,gs ,!ss... .4-,a
Declines in prices were common through
out the market. Tennessee Coal and Iron
scored a sensational break of over 8
points, which it partially recovered in the
subsequent dealings. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit was notably heavy, and broke un-
der par, for the first time since the death
of the late Governor Flower. The de-
clines in the grangers and other standard
issues extended to ] point and ever,-with
the dealings exceedingly active. ST. Paul
continued to be particularly effected by the
misgivings as TO whether an eKtRaedfviaend
would be declared. Southern P2ciic was
the weakest of the so-called Pacific stocks,
and Missouri Pacific and Southern Railway
preferred were comparatively firm.
While declines were shown, in the Lon
don market for American stocks, but lit
tie attention was paid to the dealings for
foreign account here. The industrial quar-
ter, in the main, moved with the general

of that travesty upon justice, the condemnation
of the innocent Capt. Alfred Dreyfus, of the
Fourteenth Regiment of French Artillery, for the
purpose of saving the honor Cd as it was said,
of the army of the so-called republic, but In
reality of saving what little honor % may be
left within the uniforms of certain generals, who
were shown by the testimony before the farcica
court martial to be the traitors who sold their
countrys military secrets for pelf.-
1t is to be hoped the meeting may be well
attended by Washington's best and most infu
ential citizens, and that resolutions may be
adopted, not only strongly condempipg the ac'
tion of the bogus court martial, hut requesting
the people Of the cities OF the} country to dc
likewise; and to request Senators and Members
of Congress to repeal the laws passed for the
participation OF the United States Government
in the coming Exposition at Paris in 1900.
Let such moneys have been expended in
