The Way Things Look Abroad

The Way Things Look Abroad
 Editor Bird is luckier than the rest of the Arizona journals. He has been sued for libel. = Tom bstone Pros pect0r.
 The Nogales editors have stopped calling eacs other asses and kissing bugs and all those nasty things, which makes their papers much better read ing. But just wait till John Dunbar gets to yielding" the editorial tripod. Florence Tribune.
 The grand jury of Santa Cruz coun- ty indicted Editor Bird for criminal libel, and District Attorney Harlow and Justice Joe Taylor for wilful mis. conduct in office. Evidently the "push," which THE OASIS so often speaks of, were in big majority on the jury.-Florence Tribune.
 MT. John O. Dunbar has arrived in Tucson after looking over the news paper field in Nogales. Mir. Dunbar says that he is pleased with Nogales. He says it affords the best opportunity for good newspaper worker of any town in the territory. Therefore, it is assumed that Mir. Dunbar will set tie in Nogales.
 It is stated that John Dunbar was offered the Vidette office, Nogales. body and soul and with the office boy thrown in. J. O. is said to have de- clined, even if two thousand pesos were added to the gift However, he would take the shop and fixtures on a salary, and entire right of thought on all things, particularly political Tucson Citizen.
 J. o. Dunbar of Phoenix, was in the city yesterday. He stopped over ou his return trip from Nogales, where he has been looking over the news. paper field, and gives it as his opinion that it is the best in Arizona. MT. Dunbar states that the people of the new county expressed themselves well pleased with Judge Davis and his manner of administering his judicial duties. It would not be surprising if Phoenix would lose it's ex-editor, as the Nogales field is the most tempt ing to m.-Tucson Star.
 Nogales is again to the front with the regular weekly batch of sensa- tions. This time it is the grand jury that has furnished the excitement. Editor Bird of THE OASIS was in- dicted twice for libeling the board of It must have been pretty tough board that could be libeled twice and by the same man, too. it viii he interesting to read | Editor Birds story of how he did It. The jury did not stop with editors, but "jacked upn District Attorney Harlow for putting in practice high ly original method of ridding his coun- ty of undesirable citizens who were wanted by the Mexican government. Harlow is accused of forcing, by the aid of a deputy sheriff, no less than four persons from the domain of Un- cle Sam to chat of President Diaz, whose minions immediately shot them. As praiseworthy as MT. Har- lows method will appear from stand point of economy and effectiveness, it is one that is not countenanced by in- ternational law. The outcome of this incident will be no less entertain ing than the indictment of Editor Bird. Both will serve to advertise and that is the main thing after all.-Phoenix Herald.

BIG COPPER DEAL.
Largest Mines In the Country Now
Controlled by II Syndicate.

Controlled by II Syndicate.
Chicago, April 24.-The Times Herald
says:
Definite Information has reached
Chicago that the contracts had been
signed in London Friday which formal
ly transferred to single organza ton
practically all of the larger producing
copper mines in the United States. The
details were meager and came through
the brokers who had handled minor
parts of the deal in this city
at is understood that the mines UNI
der contract produced about $4,000, 900
pounds fine of the total output of $685.,
100000 pounds fine that We're mined in
this country last year. The same mines,
it is claimed. will produce fully 475,0OO,-
900 pounds fine of the output of $50, 0O0,
900 estimated for 1899.
According to estimates made direct
ly after the negotiations for the big pro-
ducers became public property, the ac-
tual value of the mining properties TAX
en- over will exceed $400,00O,0 900. The
particulars, however, will probably be
made public during the coming week,
and the formal life Of the company will
date from May l. In effect the new or
ganZation is an international trust in
copper. The organization will protect
the price both in Europe and America
and give to the company the power to
distribute the output inteligently and
economically to the markets where it is
most in demand. 1t was the latter con-
sideration which brought into the COM
bination some Of the interests that were
previously antagonistic. The Roths-
childs furnished the funds and made
the stipulations for the European in
terests involved, while the Standard OIL
company was credited with acting in
the same capacity for the American
side. The Rothschild interest had it's
main leverage in it's holdings on Isle
Royale. in Lake Superior, known as the
Wendigo Copper company, the stock of
which concern Is not listed on any
American exchange, and the Isle Royale
Land company, limited.
among the other properties named
in the private cables We're the Clark
Bigelow and the Marcus DAILY interests
in Montana, the Arcadian and Central
in the Lake Superior region and the Old
Dominion in Arizona, but it is known
that several other heavy producers not
named are included"

You Can Boil ANYTHING.

A successful experiment was made at
Columbia university in boiling away a
silver dime The dime was cut in strips
and laid in the cup Of one of the car
bons of the arc light. The pointed car
bon of the arc was placed above this
and strong current turned on. Under
the intense heat the dime melted, sim
mered and then boiled like water. In
two minutes it had boiled away into
vapor Professor Pupin. who conducted
the experiment, declared any substance
ON earth, even granite rock, may be
boiled away in similar fashion if only
sufficient heat is brought to bear on it.
He also stated that any gas or liquid
would freeze if it could be submitted to
sufficient cold

Bridgeton, N. j., April 24.-The strik-
ing glass blowers continue orderly, but
have relays watching every train to in
tercept nonunion workmen and turn
them away. One of the strikers was
arrested and put under bonds to keep
the peace. Idle workmen are daily be-
ing sent to all parts of the country to
work in union factories. Some left for
California and Montreal President c.
W. Shoemaker of the Cumberland glass
works says he is willing to submit the
question between his company and the
union to an arbitration board composed
of outside persons. A similar PROPOSE
ton by Mr.. Jefferis of the Jefferis glass
works has been rejected by the union.
The end Of the strike is not in sight.

Displeased at COEhInn's speech.

Washington. April 24-The German
embassador DR.. Won Holleben. called on
Secretary Hay. which led to reports
that the attention of the state depart
ment had been called to the remarks of
Captain Coghlan of the cruiser Raleigh
at New York banquet Friday relating
TO his personal observations of rebuke
and threat administered by Admiral
Dewey to the German naval command
ers at Manila. 1t was stated positively
however, that no protest or representa-
ton was made, as it is understood to be
the view in German quarters that this
is matter in which the authorities here
should be left to take the initiative. At
the same time it is known that Captain
Coghlan's remarks cause considerable
displea sure in high diplomatic and ma
val quarters, mainly because they are
contrary to the policy which the two
governments have adopted of giving as
little public expression as possible to
the friction which may have occurred
at Manila. In naval quarters there is
disposition to regard Captain Coghans
statements AS giving some rather ugly
truths which have heretofore been
CLOSED over on grounds of public policy.
The responsible naval officials have
however, shared the policy of minimiz-
ing the frictions at Manila, but in the
present case. owing to Captain Cogh-
lan's splendid services they are not
disposed to be captious in their criti-
cis,n OF his utterances.

A jour,.vman halter, companion
of DR.. Frar Kiln, was about to set up in
business for himself and wished to have
an appropriate sign to put over his
door. He designed one that bore the fol
lowing inscriptions "John Thompson,
Halter Makes and Sells Hats for Ready
Money" Following this was picture
of hat. But he was not quite certain
of the suitability Of his sign, and he de-
cided to submit it to his friends for
their criticism.
The first that he showed it to object
I'd to the word chatter" because it
was followed by the words "makes
hats, which sufficiently explained that
he was halter. The word was struck
out.
The next said that the work "makes"
was useless, because the customers
would not care who made the hats SO
long as they We're satisfactory and the
price was not too high. He struck that
out also.
The third man said that the words
"for ready money" might as well go,
as it was not the custom to sell hats on
credit; every one who bought expected
to pay. These words taken out, and the
inscription read, "John Thompson Sells
Hats.
His next friend said "sells" might as
well come ont, because nobody expected
him to give them away. What, then,
was the use of the word? "Sells" was
accordingly struck out and chats was
all that remained, following John
Thompson.
Even this, short as it was, was fur

stood, "John Thompson, with the fig
