FROM THE MINES
The Lee Peck.


The fire was kindled under
the boiler al the Lee Peck We'd
nesday and the work OF un.
watering the old workings Of
the mine started. The mine
is..a fairly dry one SO il is
thought that the task OF getting
out the water will be buta small
one. Corrigan Mckinney & Go.
have this property and they are
making preparations for a big
thing. An engine house was
built out of the timber in the old
hoop mill in this city and viii
answer all purposes at. the mine
for couple of years at least.
The hosting plant ADD boiler
that!was at the Lincoln have been
brought out there and put ia
place. A new shaft house was
built some time ago and, taken
as a whole, the mine is well
equipped. The Lee Peck has
never been on the active ship
ping list although two thousand
tons of ore were sent from the
property TO the Cherry Valley
furnace company in 1892. the ore
being hauled on wagons two
miles to the railroad track
Those who have been under
ground in the nine say that
there is quite a body of ore in
sight.

Inc &lctcAuo tIOo ll4ue kcticW Resume OF
the Week n Iron Circles.
The movement Of iron ore Is sur
prisingly large and the total for the
season is likely to revise all estimates.
The October shipments, contrary to all
precedent, exceeded those for September,
being 2.5f3 $50 gross tons, against
2,36o.306 tons in September. The
seasons total to Nov. ! was 5, $50 .07S
@ oss tons, against l2,5i5 500 tons to
Nov. 1, 1898, or an Increase of 3,0lf,-
5l2 tons Over last year. In October,
1895, the movement was $4,000 toms;
this year il was about 900, 900 tons
greater. There seems no reason now, II
the rate OF the first week OF this month
is KEPT up for fortnight more, why the
water shipments should not reach IT,
600 900 tons. When IL IL considered
that the season opened exceptionally
late, there is very little support in
these figures for any view based on an.
insutflcicncy OF tonnnge Co care Tor the
lake traffic OF 1000. 1t is known that
in addition to new vessels that have
been in commission for only "a portion
of this season, there are under con-
struction or ordered for 1900 boats
equal To the hauling OF 5000, 900 tons
Of ore in "a season. Additional docks
are being built ut certain upper lake
ports. A comprehensive program for
increasing ore handling and ore storing
facilities at lower lake docks and ut
furnace yards is under way. Large
additions in the shape OF 40-ton and 90
ton cars and new and heavier locomo-
tives are being made by railroads run
ming TO Lake Erie docks. All these are
practically an augmentation to vessel
capacity because they mean better dis
patch and more trips in the season. IL
| II 900, 900 tons can he carried i'm a
season like the present, the indications
are that next yeai y available ore
carrying capacity will I've not "a little in
excess OF the orc to be carried, unless
more blast furnaces can be provided Tor

Statistics Indicate ~ present con

sumption at the rate OF 16,500.0OO to
| 100000 tons u year. There were
2,O73, 900 tons on dock last May. Here
and there iurnacemen are reported
whose purchases will carry them into
July 1900, or further. They will not
buy such IN amount OF ore next year
IA they took last spring mt the low
prices.
AS to the price that will be paid Tor
old range Bessemer ores Tor next year,
there is yet nothing decisive. Influential
interests are reported To be favoring a
strong advance. We have mentioned
Sl50 and 50, but $3.50 is more likely
now; this would give $3.50 base, as
against $2.95 this year. There have
been delays in getting n conference oil
the ore men; and 1t may bo be post.
poned now for fortnight. Sales OF
non Bessemer ores for 1900 now APP
pear 20 be confined To those already
mentioned, which were at an advance OF
about 50 over the 1899 basis.

THE REASON OF TT.

A grclp of guests in the Grunexald lcSby were discussing the s'cuation in Cuba. "I'm heartily ill favor of that three million dollar distribution among the Cuban patriots." exclaimed cne of the party. "If they can't find rrsriots enough let them cut up the money ard divide it among 'em any hcw, esrecially the officers It's ex- actly what is needed by our gallant boys. Why, some of them Our galalht boys!" interrupted a listener, who are you talking about, anyhcw?'' Our soldier boys The heroic Ameri- can soldiers who have been on duty G1iwn there in that war-stricken, dis ease-smitten island. risking their lives and health and making every conceiv- able sacrifice in the name of duty Why, hundreds of those noble fellows are suffering-yes, actually suffering for the little common comforts of lifei They send their pay home to their fam lilies and ncw-" But hold on there!" sa-i the other man. "How the dickens are they going to be benefited by the distribution of that three millions among the Cuban patriots? % Because they play poker so much better than the patriots do,'' replied the friend of the sCtdier.-New Orleans Times-Dem- Ccrat.

TWO MONTHS WITH A SURPLUS

The fiscal year which closes today is the sixth in succession which has bad a deficit; but it is the first in the six which has had two months with a surplus from normal revenue under normal conditions. This surplus is so large that the excess of recerpts over expendi tures for these months shows that the annual and monthly deficits of the past six years are oven.
 May had a surplus of S4,277 ,013, June has a surplus, with two days 10 hear from, of SIC, ,436,87S. The deficit for the year is S94,1S3,267. reduced in part by receipts of S11, ,79S. .314 from the Central Pacific railroad. The deficit is due to war expenditures The surplus for the past two months IS due to peace. It records the excess of re- ceipts in peace over the expenditures of peace
 For two months this surplus is about $15, 100000. The advance in revenue which has earned this is chiefly in in ternal revenue. which is S15,000, 900 more than for May and June last year. and $23,000,0O0 more than under the Wilson act, and nearly all this increase is paid neither from the necessities nor the consumption of labor, but on the checks. legal instruments and H. censes of those able to pay taxes
 The republican party will enter the campaign of 1900 with a surplus, and a surplus won without over taxing any one or neglecting national duties in the Pttlippines.-Phi Press.

THE YAVAPAI BONDS.

The Gazette makes some pertinent inquiries and comments upon the mat ter of interest payments on the "YaV apai bonds" although it might have been well to have sought the proper source for information on the subject before discussing the matter, and publish the facts for the information of the public.
 There is nothing to conceal, and there can iba no motive on the part Of anybody to withhold information as to what is being done in connection with this matter. If there were any 'lax- ity'' on the part of terrfyorial officials we would not hesitate to condemn it, and we agree with the GaZatte that the people should ksep themselves fully Informed and thereby save pos sible hasty and undeserved criticism.
 It is t:ua that the territory has paid the interest since the bonds were funded, as it is required to pay upon all territorial obligations; and all the counties of the territory, Yavarai in cluded, contribute to the payment. The law contamplates and requires all counties to pay their debts which have been funded into territorial bonds, principal and interest, and Yavapai alone is required to pay these bonds, principal and interest.
 When Yavapai failed to pay, and it became evident that legal measures were necessary to make the county obey the law, the action was eom- menced by the attornay-general, | the trial of wtich was postponed because the judge of the Fourth judicial dis tric. was compelled to be away from the territory for 2 time; and he set the case for hearing at the earliest date after his return at which he could give ii tis attention, viz: July 10. and it VIII be tried during the coming week. The fault lies with Yavapai county n its failure to obey the law. All good citizens are interested in seeing the law upheld and the tsrIt.orial credit

Here is another bitter pill for the Prescott Courier to swallow. The Stafford Guardian refuses to accept its doctrine that mining swindles should go unIebuked of the governor or any one else in authority. This is the Guardians view of the matter:
 The governor is receiving consider able unfavorable. comment for issuing his circular warning capital against swindling mining schemes. It is charged that 1t was done simply as ho1d-up to the miners of the territory. This may or may not be the govern or's intention, but if, through that cir cular, he Is able to head off such min ing schemes as some that have been placed upon the nllrkqt, miners with properties of merit may feel thankful. We believe so far as Graham county is concerned, that circular will accom- plish good. We believe It the duty of every man, ba he governor or what not. to expose thieving schemes wherever they come under his obser- Y.atfon For the good of the honast miner, he with mines or claims that would prove an inducement for the in- vestment of capital, for the good of the people at large, we think mining schemes that are promoted for the purpose of bleeding" people and en- richlng the promoters. should be ex- posed, no matter from wEat source It cones.

ma .ntained inviolate No right think ing person will assume for a moment that the territory should not meet f1s obligations promptly; a failure to do so would impair our credit and retard the prosperity of Arizona for many years.
 As to the county responsible to the territory fer this interest money, it IS the duty Of the territorial officials to do everything in their power legally to compel payment And in doing this to the best of their ability they are entitled to the support of all friends of the territory.

How a Litigation Was Stopped by a

A little while ago Lawyer Hackett purchased some land over which there had been a lawsuit for years, until the parties had spent half a dozen times what the land was worth Packet knew all about it. Some of the people wondered why he wanted to get hold Of property with such an incubus of uncertainty on it. Others thought that perhaps he wanted some legal knitting work and would pitch in red hot to fight that line fence Que--ion on his own h5ok.
 Said Hackett: Whats your. claim here. anyway, as to this fence?''
 ''I insist replied the neighbor, 'that your fence is ever on my land two feet at one end and one foot at least at the other end.''
 Well" replied Hackett. you go ahead just as quick as you can anJ set ycur fence over. At the end where you say that I encroach on you two feet set the fence onto my land four feet. At the other end push it onto my land two feet
 But" persisted the neighbor, 'fthat is twice what I claim
 ''I don't care about that" said Hackett. There's been fight enough over this land. I want you to take enough so you are perfectly satisfied you have got your rights, and then we can get along pleasantly. Go ahead and help yourself
 The man paused, abashed He had been ready to commence the old strug- gle tooth and nail. But this move Of the new neighbor stunned him Yet he wasn't to be outdone in generosity He looked at f1Gckett
