 Mohave Miner: Wm. Miller, assist ant superintendent of the Tennessee, and others, have purchased Samuel Chadwick's mine and have let con- tract to drive tunnel 25O feet on the ledge. The work is now being done. This mine has produced ore by Obe carload that averaged over 50 ounces of silver and 50 per cent lead and some gold per ton. It is valuable prop erty.
 Globe Belt. Assessment work has been completed on the Eagle copper mines, owned by w. $. Sultan and William Sidow. The mines are situated between Globe and Richmond Basin, and about eight miles from town. The ledge is large, and the ore carrying 65 per cent iron aud 9 per cent copper, is desirable for huxlng with the silIcious ores found in this district.
 Yuma Sun: A goodly number or promising claims are being developed in Mesquite district, thirty miles west of Yuma, though as yet no extensive operations are being carried on. The Bay Horse company, it Is said, propo- ses to soon run pipe line to the Colorado river, eighteen miles distant, aud erect a stamp mill, when the dis trict will take on the activity it's merit warrants.
 Graham Bulletin: Not long since Mir. J. D McGruder of Globe, visited the mines in Clark district to ascer- tain if the ore could be smelted. He carried away with him several differ ent specimens which assayed S7O in gold and 9 ounces iD silver. A letter from MT. McGruder to MT. Morris this week states that the ore cannot be smelted at profit but concen- trator would be necessary.
 Globe Belt: The Black Warrior Copper Co. has begun work on the Diamond II shaft, and also to block out ore in the Montgomery mine, of the Black Warrior group The Dia mond H shaft is now down l35 feet, and the last fifty feet is iu sulphide ore which has increased in value with depth. On the Montgomery there is lO0-foot shaft, a 350-foot tunnel and large open cut, showing good ore in all the openings.
 Activity is the order of the day at the El Monte group of thirty-seven claims, owned by the American Ex- ploration Co.,, and lying between Har- qua Hala and Harrisburg. Assessment work has been or is being done on all of them, but the claims being prn- cipally developed are the Tiger, Ben Butler, Evening Star and Ophir, the working shaft of the fermer being down 100 feet and drifting and stop ing being vigorously carried on. A large amount of ore is now on the dump, awaiting the erection of the forty-stamp mill for which ground has been cleared aud upon which work will begin very soon. A portion of the mill and other machinery is now at Congress Junction. The engines and boilers and shaft power are suffi- cient to operate 100 stamps, which will be put in as soon as enough development work shall have been done to warrant it. When the mill

The senior senator from Colorado with
the exception of the period he served as
Secretary of the Interior in President Ar
thurs cabinet, has represented his state
in the Senate since her admission to the
union in the centennial year. says the
Philadelphia Post He is one of the most
dignif1ed members of that body a man
with whom it is difficult to connect a
romantic episode, and yet in the early
days when he was a pioneer in Gilpin
county, Colorado, at the time of the silver
excitement there. he was a participator
in many thrilling incidents. No one was
more forward in insisting that the law
should be observed and he was frequently
called upon to help in the execution of
justice.
1t is told of him that on one occa sion
he took part in the lynching of a Mexi-
can who was caught robbing the sluice
boxes. 1t was not the first offense. and
the man had again and again been warn

Quoted with all order and propriety by the
miners about there, and il was decided
that the culprit must hang. Senator Tel

and while he regretted the necessity. he
still advocated the hanging as important
in maintaining law and order.

Rough On the General

A French actor named Hyacinthe once
illustrated the saying. Discretion is the
better part of valor," says London Tit
Bits. 1t was in the month of June and \
company of the national guard. of which
Hyacinthe was sergeant, was enga ging
a body of insurgents behind a barrjcade at
the other end of short street One of the
insurgents, in particular, from a corner
OF the barricade was making remarkably
effective practice on the assailants. A.
that moment up came general.
We must get him to expose himself ,,
said the general 'One of you must clamb-
er up on top of the barricade; then. when
our friend al the other end of the street
shows himself to take aim, two or three
of you fetch him down. Up with Won. SER
geant!"
Beg your pardon, general, but. perhans
you see, an Insignificant noncommissiopad
officer like myself may have no attraction
for him. But a handsome, distinguished
man like you, an that stylish and becom-
ing uniform-he'd be more than mortal II
he could resist the temptation. I'll lend

HUMAN NATURE THE SAME.

When Mrs. George, at Canton, o., was
acquitted of the charge of having muir
dered George C. Saxton, there was gen.
eral iolification. The reports say that
church bells were rung in celebration, and
even ministers of the gospel rushed about
and shook hands with persons whom Sax
ton would have bloshed to meet during his
lifetime. Mrs. George was made a heroine
of. A man had betrayed her, and
it was believed that she had kill
ed him. She had taken tine law into
her own hands, and avenged her wrong.
And the people of the whole community
Applauded the verdict which said that she
was justified In so doing. Thus the whole
community put itself upon record as ia
voring violence in preference to the order
ly proceeding of the court of law in a
case where a woman's honor is concerned.
What is the difference between the condi-
ton of public opinion in Canton, o., and
in Newman, Ga, where a negro was re-
Gently lynched? In each instance a grew
Gus wrong had been done woman, but
in the Newman case the woman had suf-
Canton case, the woman took the law into
her own hands, and killed her seducer;
and the community applauded her for
doing it, In the Newman case the COM
munity killed the assailant of the woman.
And that is about all of the difference in
the two cases of violence, from the moral
point of view. But it will be borne in mind
that no church bells were rung at New
nan in honor of the homicide, and no
preachers rushed around shaking hands
with all sorts of disreputable people and
congratulating themselves and all corners
upon the final outcome. II is a fair infer
| ence that if Sam Hose had committed the
crime in Canton of which he was guilty
he would have been dealt with just about
as he was in Newman. The truth is that
in each case the spirit of vengeance had
got the upper hand of the better spirit of
law and order. And it is also true that
white human nature, whether it is found
in Canton, o., or Newman. Ca, is pretty
| much the same.

HOW Funston Lost a Cadetship.


"C0l Fred Funston of the Twentieth
Kansas Volunteers. who is making such
a record as a fighter in the Philippine cam
paign, will never get over his disappoint-
ment at not going TO West Point about
fourteen years ago" said one OF tuns-
tons classmates at the Kansas State Uni
versity to New York Tribune reporter,
after reading the dispatches from Manila.
The narrator, who is machine manufac-
turer on the East Side, had number #
stories to tell about Funston. This was
one Of them:
Funston is native of Ohio and al
though one of the smallest men in the uni
versity, he was one of the piuekiest. Be-
fore going to the university, from which,
by the way, he was not graduated, owing
20 his being duh in studies, he tried the
examination for a West Point cadetship.
If 1 remember rightly, this was about
fourteen or fifteen years ago, when Funs-
ton was mere STRIPPING, and when his
father was a congressman from a South
ern Kansas district.
"Fred's father had at his disposal, sub
ject to competitive examination, cadet
ship, and Fred, after filling his mind with
United States history and practising at
craftsmanship and sword exercise for
months, went into the examination, which
was held, think, at PaOla. Fred WAS
confident That's the way he is built,
by the way, Notwithstanding that he is
small and red-headed, and he thought that
the cadetship was sure thing. His father
thought so, too, and no doubt helped Fred
along as much as possible. In the exam
nation We're half a dozen farmers sons,
among them fellow named Charles Craw-
ford. This Crawford knew a thing or two
himself, and had a much better all-around
store of knowledge than Funston possess
ed When the papers were examined
Crawford was found to be the winner by
handsome margin, with Fred a poor sec
ond.
THE disappointment nearly broke Funs-
toms heart, and he was as savage as a
bulldog for months afterward. Fred was
named as the alternate, and he had a
| CLEAN of hope that Crawford would be
| killed In a cyclone or get struck by light
| ming or get crippled in a railroad smash
| up, and that as alternate he would go Ia
West Point, after all. But Crawford was
an unusually healthy fellow, and went to
| the military academy, where he was grad
uated well up in his class. He accepted
lieutenancy in the army, and in the San.
| tago campaign was brevetted captain for
! gallant conduct under fire. He is now a
| lieutenant in the Twenty-first Infantry
and he left San Francisco for Manila
three weeks ago with his regiment.
| Now Funston is a colonel with the
prospect of speedily becoming a brigadel
general, and it is possible that Crawford
who will arrive in Manila as lieutenant
will have his regiment assigned to Funs
TONS brigade. That might not please
! Crawford but no doubt it would take
away some of the sting of fifteen year:
ago. when Crawfords superior ability
wrecked one of Funston's most fondly
| cherished hopes"

AUTHORIZATION SENTIMENT.

In our dispatches yesterday there was
an account of great anti-expansion
meeting in Chicago which occurred on
Sunday night There have been quite a
number Of such meetings in the West and
in the New England states. We have not
noticed any such meetings in the South.
There are anti-expansionists in the South
aud some of the Southern newspapers
have expressed strong anti-expansion SEN
timents ever since it became apparent that
1t was the purpose of the Republican party
to favor policy of holding on to the Phil
ippines for an indefinite time.
But why is it that there have been no
great anti-expanslon meetings in the
South as there have been in Chicago, st.
Louis and some of the New England cit
les? That is a question that is well worth
thoughtful consideration. Is it not be-
cause the sentiment against expansion is
less pronounced in the South than in any
other section of the country? We are not
sure that this IS the case. We have no
way of knowing that it is but, assuming
that il is, what is the reason? Is it not
American than any other section-that is,
has not its population a smaller percent
age of the foreign element than that of
any other section, and is 1t not a fact that
the Angio-saxon has always been colo
nicer, an expansionist? In most OF the
Southern states the population Is composed
almost wholly of the descendants Of the
people of The revolutionary period. They
are Anglo-Saxons and the Anglo-Saxons
have always been noted for taking pos
session of new countries and establishing
colonies.
IT may be that the antl-expansion senti-
ment in the South is very strong. but If
it is the evidences of it have not cropped
out. Later on they may become more APP
parent. but we should not be surprised if
the view we have taken, namely, that the
anti-expanson sentiment doesn't exist in
the South to the extent it does in other
sections of the country and for the reason
we have given, were the correct one.

WHERE A PAVEMENT is NEEDED.


A place where a pavement Is needed in
this city-badly needed Is in the park eX-
tension, right through the center OF It
from Forsythe Park to New Houston
street There Is a poor apology for a
pavement there now. 1t is muddy in wet
weather and inches deep in dust in dry
weather, At all hours of the day and
pretty nearly all night it is in use, and on
Sundays 1t is crowded with people who
use 1t for a promenade. We are sure that
everybody who walks on that pavement
wishes that the city authorities would give
some attention to it. The women have the
best of reasons for complaining of it be
cause 1t ruins their dresses, and the men
find it necessary TO have their shoes pol
ished after a stroll along the walk before
they feel they are fit to presnt themselves
in the parlors of their friends.
And it would not be a mistake to pave
the main walk of Forsythe Park from Bull
street to the Park Extension. That walk
has been repaired a number of times, but
the material used was not suitable for the
purpose. It turns into a fine powder in
dry weather and in wet weather 1t is sticky
mud. The chief promenade of the city
should have pavement that was beyond
criticism at all times, in wet as well as in
dry weather.
There are many streets that ought to be
paved, but we do not now think of any
piece of paving that would give more peo-
pie satisfaction than that to which we call
attention

General Griggs in Washington this week
Col. Thomas F. Barr, who was judge adj
vocate of the courtmartial which tried

SUNDAY LAWS IN HAVANA.

In our dispatches yesterday 1t was stated
that by order of Gen. Brooke all places of
business in Havana were closed on Sunday
after 10 o'clock except drug stores and
cafes. 1t seems also that by previous or
ders bull fighting and cock fighting and
some other kinds of amusements are now
prohibited in that city.
According to the dispatches the public of
Havana is not at all pleased with this mil
itary interference with its pleasures and
its customs. 1t is a question if by such
interference we shall help the Cubans TO
The chances are that we shall gain their
ill-will, and thus make It impossible for
us to make much Roadway in assisting
them.
We believe, of course, in proper observ-
ance of Sunday, but the fact must not be
overlooked that the Cubans have been ed
ucated to observe the day in one way and
we have been taught to observe Ii an an
other We think our way is the right way.
That being the case we should try TO bring
to do so. II we undertake to force them
TO accept our code of morals we may ex-
pect to meet with resistance.
No doubt Gen. Brooke means we'll in in
Producing reforms in morals, but it is a
question If he is acting wisely. The dam
ser is that he will make the Cubans our
enemies instead of our friends.

The Florida Legislature the other day
tackled proposed dog law, and-as other
legislatures have done before and will do
again and again-feu down. The bill, pro-
posed by Mr.. Wilder. was to prevent dogs
from running at large upon the premises
where divine or public worship was being
held. Judge Raney offered an amendment
that the act should not apply to shepherd
dogs attending the Episcopal Church. Dr..
Coleman moved to amend by striking out
the word dog and inserting in the place
thereof the word bulldog Mr.. Harvell
moved to amend by making the law ap-
plicable to dogs "either walking or running
at large" Mai Healy moved to amend by
inserting a provision against tying captur-
ed dogs to the contribution box. The out
come of the treatment of the question in
such a manner could be but one thing-fail-
ure The right of the dog TO attend
church in Florida, therefore, remains un-
impaired.

That is rather a queer idea, attributed
to Mayor Myers, 10 the effect that be-
cause Savannah bonds are high. the
money provided for their retirement
may be invested in other bonds until
such time as the Savannah bonds
can be purchased at lower prices.
Such a plan might suit some persons with
other bonds for sale, but it would not meet
with the approval of the Savannah public.
When the time approaches for the matur-
ity of the Savannah bonds, it might be
found that the city had on hand a lot of
unstable securities, but no money with
which TO take up its own obligations. Bet
ter stick TO the old and safe plan. No first
class securities can be had at much less
than the market price of Savannah bonds.

Formidable opposition seems TO have
arisen to the ordination of DR.. Briggs to
the priesthood of the Episcopal Church,
which is set TO occur in New York shortly.
Several prominent ministers have pro-
nounced against 1t, and it has been sug-
gested that when Bishop Potter reads the
ordination lines from the prayer book to
lar. Briggs, some of them will enter objec-
ton TO the conclusion of the ceremony and
the admitting of the candidate into the

1t is really a little hard on Gen Fred
Grant that, just as he has been ordered
to the Philippines, the war there should
show signs Of collapsing. There will prob
ably be peace in the islands before his
arrival. He has tried faithfully to get to
the front in time for the lighting, but on
each occasion, so far he has failed How
ever, there may still be some scrapping
in Mindanoa, the sulus and elsewhere in
the archipelago. All of the fighting so
far has been on Luzon, and the other ISL
ands may have to be paeified.
