next comes Missouri and then Geor- gia and Tennessee. California has a considerable number and Kansas and Arkansas a large number, too. The leading states for horses in respect to their total number and the hay and oat crops to maintain them are Illinois and Iowa. Two states which have, relatively, no mules to speak of when compared with the number of horses, are New York and Michigan. Penn sylvania, because of it's coal and iron mining industries, has nearly ten times as many mules as New York.
 The American mule, as has often been truly said, is worthy of much bet ter and higher recognition than pOpu- la1 estimate awards it. The American mule is an animal of endurance and an important factor in the wealth of the agricultural states, more particularly i3 the great cotton belt, where ten acres and a mule" is the measure of the ambition Of many of the negro tenant farmers.-New York Sun

WEALTH IN MULES.
Tke Humble Butt of the Parag1 1apher
 Worth More Than a Horse.

On January l, 1893. there were, ac- corG4ng to official figures, 16,20O O00 horses in the United States, represent ing total value of a little more than billion dollars, CT S1 007 ,593, ,636 to be exact At the same time the number of mules in the United States was g. 315, ,000. representing a total value of S175, 900 .000 Since then conditions have operated to diminish the conner cial value Of horses, the total number of which in tlie country Cn January 1 last was 13,700 GOO, and the estimated value of which was less than $50000. 000, a decrease of more than One-half in six years.
 The horse has had to encounter the ruinous competition Of the bicycle, the electric car, the cable car, the auto motor and much new and improved farming machinery; but these forms of competition which have reduced so largely the number and value of horses in the United States have been of small effect upon the number of mules. though in reducing the demand for them the new conditions have dimin ished the value. At the present time, taking the whole country, the average value Of 9 horse is S35, and taking the whole country except the New Eng land states, where mules are very few ip number, the value of mule is $42. Mules are worth more than hOrses-a pecuniary degradation for the 'fprince of animals and 9 marked distinction for the patient. humble long-suffering unmuSical American mule the butt of the paragrapher, the accepted type cf stOiidity and the time-wasting quad r}trGd of many parts of the country. The decline in the value Of the horse T +A variety of causes. the first and most important of which is that the demand for higher priced horses has visibly di- unfinished, while the horse Cf all work of the farm and of the highway re- mains in great demand. Again, horses have always been in largest demand in level parts of the country. It is in these that the -Ise of mechanical con trivances has become more general while mules, in greatest demand in hilly regions, remain in demand in these. A final reason for the greater average value of mules compared with horses is to be found in the question Of forage. < horse is very much more expensive to maintain than a mule, and, moreover. horses are more numer- OUs, relatively in those parts of the country in which the climate is rigor- GUS and severe than in the milder re- gions of the country, in which mules are cheaply housed and cheaplye fed. In the state of Minnesota. fer instance there were at the time of the last count 460 GOO horses and only $500 mules and Minnesota is c1nfessedly one Of the states in which winters are very severe. In South Carolina, on the oth- eT hand, there were on January 1, 65, COOS horses and 100 eco mules, and in Geor- eia there were 10000 horses and 1G5.- 900 mules.
 First among the states of the coun- try in the number of mules is Texas,

branch of the service. Three new bat tleships of l3,500 tons and three az nrored cruisers of F, GOO tons will make q formidable addition to cur fighting fierce at sea and will constitute an i'm pressive argument for peace. The six smaller protected cruisers of :, 2,500 tons are needed for scouting duty and for patrOlling in shallow waters.
 In the provisions for the new battle ships the committee, reflects the i'm pressi0n made by the magnificent per formanee of the Oregon. beth in the wonderful cruise from California to the Antilles and in the part she took in the destruction of Cervera's fleet That great radius of action and high speed should be combined with heavy armor and powerful armament was the most striking lesson Of the war with Spain. Those are the very qualities required for these battleships aS we'll as for the armOred cruisers. It is noticeable that all the additions to the navy are to be sheathed and coppared, which is 2 novel departure in our naval con- structicn, although fully warranted by English experience. Commendable provisions are that no more than two of the vessels of each class are to be constructed in any one ship yard; that the contracts must go to the lowest bidder, keeping in view ''the best re suits and most expeditions delivery" that the proposal of no bidder shall be considered who has not already an ade- quate plant, and that one battleship and one cruiser are to be built on the Pacific coast. The record of the Ore gon warrants this last requirement.
 It is a happy coincidence that the first keel plate of the new battleship Maine was laid upon the anniversary Of the destruction of that vessel and on the same day when '5his bill was ccm- pIeted for report to the house-New York Mail and Express.

THE COppER CRAZE
The Folly of UninfOrmed Eastern
 Investors.

Copper was quoted as "dull' yester- day That doesn't mean that the bot tom is about to fall out, as a great many have been predicting it would. Men familiar with the copper market do not believe slump will ever come until a great many more copper de posits have been discovered, than are now dreamed of An eastern expert now in the city says that a slump is going to take place suddenly in copper mining stocks and the crash will be so tumultous that capital will be great ly frightened.
 The organization Of copper mining companies in the east is going Cn at a tremendous rate. Almost every day, for instance, a new company is sprung in Philadelphia. The companies form ed are mostly for the purpose of the alleged working of Michigan proper ties. The prospectus describe the dis tance from the famous Calumet-Hecla The Tamarack or some other well known producer As a matter of fact, the land is not within twenty miles of the copper belt. The prospectus fur ther relates the truthful story Of Philadelphia woman, who invested $10,0O0 in Calumet several years ago, from which investment she now de rives an annual income of quarter Of a million. The stock is put on the market at par and before night it has risen 100 per cent. To the dupes, cop per is copper, and all copper stock IS copper.
 The gentleman says that it is diff cult to interest the uninfOrmed east ener in any other than Michigan cop per corporations. Most of them have not learned yet that Arizona is the most promising copper field in the world; so that comparatively little Arizona stock is being sold among the masses When the Michigan bubble bursts, there will naturally follow lull in copper stock operations, but after that, will come the opportunity of corporations, which really have

A NEW MINERAL DISTRICT.
Location of Rich Copper Claims by
 Phoenix Men.

Some rich prospects were located a week ago by Dr. J. M. Ford and w. E. Thorne in the Castle Creek district. The property lies six miles southeast of the White Picache mountain. The ledge cuts the Red Picache mountain and is in the range which divides the BuckhOrn creek from the Castle creek.
 The irOn-capped vein is prominent and immense The base is concealed under a cap of gOssan, 5000 feet in width and extending over the entire mountain, presenting undisDutab.e evidences of a rich base. Two assays have been made of the ore, showing %S in the first and $33 in the second assay. The whole portion of the mountain containing the ledge has been lccated in thirteen claims.
 It is comparatively an uneXpiOfed region and was discovered by a pros DectCr who had been migrating about the ranges in that locality with burro trains for several years, and who final Iy came upon the indications. Several hands of deer were seen on the trip Of Messrs. Ford and ThOrne and several other signs were noticed which would substantiate the theory that the place has heretofore been unknown. The re- zion is inaccessible, except by enc di- FlOo lylu3 Dey ouu two CdLy OHo' anu ei0 q result of it's seclusiOn, it presents an extremely wild appearance.
 Despite the seclusiOn, buggy has been driven to within 5000 feet Of tt and from there Q good grade support ing heavy traffic could be constructed at no considerable outlay. The prep erty is situated about fifteen miles from the s. F., P. & P. railroad and in every respect the natural conditions are such as to facilitate the transp0r- tation of ore or supplies. The local flow of water is adequate to meet the demands of the mineral district.

TREATED HIS DIsHWASHER.
A Hotel Propfieto-'s Eyes Deceived
 Him.

There are many complications re- sUlting from mistaken Identity. and enc of them recently fell to the lot of s. P. Clark, the proprietor Of the Ford hotel
 Over 9 year age 3 drummer secured quarters at his place for a few days, and upon leaving shook hands with the proprietor, who asked him upon his return tc Phoenix to call again, and promised good treatment. Accordingly the drummer, who happened to be in town a few days ago, applied fer room alt the hCtel which was so crowd ed that the. clerk was compelled to as sign him to 3 small room. When Mr Clark learned who the man was he re- Sretted his inability to supply better lodging, and m order 10 fulfill the promise previously made, sought to remedy the poor accommodation by substituting good fellowship.
 He made it point to meet the man ii- the bar room and finally spying whom he thought to be the dr;1mmer c.j.dially 1ho0k hands wilh him and asked him to take a drink.
 Something in the actions of the man embraced denoted surprise, but ne ac- Crpted the Cffer with alacrity, and when Mfr. Clark entered into a conver- s5tion with him regarding his former visit to the city and endeavored to con- ciliate him the man locked still more surprised.
 Instead Of answering in the drift of the conversation he replied with a comment as to the management of the kitchen. Mir Clark at once saw his e. TOT. At all times he manife.ts 70 found dignity toward his help, deem ing it a wise plan tc' pursue, and his chagrin was great on this occasion when he discovered that he was in con versa ton with his pan washer He was 2 man who in every respect re- sembled the drummer. His clothes were of such quality as would in s5antly proclaim him to Ee the cashier Of a bank, but having been in the em- ploy Of the hotel but short t.me his acquaintance with the proprietor had been slight; hence the 1ni=understand- ing
