MINING IS A BUSINESS.

Mining is legitimate business. It is not more speculative than most other lines of business. It requires skill and good judgment, and some capital to win success; with these success is almost a certainty. The man who builds large milling plant on prospect and then goes gunning for ore with which to keep it in operation, is quite likely to make a failure. The man who puts his money in secret process guaranteed to save more values than is shown by q fire assay ought to, and always does, lose his cash. It is said that 9S per cent of the men who embark in business make failures. It may be said that every man fails who attempts to conduct business which he does not understand. The greatest successes in the business world
 are attained by those who are able to choose frst-class assista nee. If you do not understand the business of mining and are not able to select man who does to handle your enterprise, don't invest in mining. If you do, you are safer in mining than in any other bus
 mess. The great majority of men who mine with intelligence and good judg- ment succeed. The percentage of those
 who succeed is greater than in any other
 line of business. lss.

A BIG MINING DEAL.
Group Near Phoenix Sold for $7oo, ,ooo

A mining deal important on account of it's magnitude, and especially impor- tant to Phoenix, becels it will be fol- lowed by extensive o perations with this town as the base, is said to have just closed. It is the sale of the Portman- teau group, in the Cave creek district, tC a party of Boston capitalists. The seller is the Nicholson Gold Mining company, mbracing Charles L. Clark and associ- ates, of Montana, and Messrs. Field and Davis of St. Louis. The consideration is $700, ,000 in gold. The transaction has been hanging fire for several months, and the property has been thoroughly investigated An estimate, twice con. firmed, places the value of the ore ir sight at $l 200, ,00O0.
 The Portmanteau group, embracing several gold claims, was located by A. J Edwards several years ago. The prop erty passed into the hands of Frank Wuo oi bliO tShSiEoh Gold Mining company six years ago During Edwards own srship of the property considerable development work was done and great deal of ore was handled by means of arrastras. Alto gether there is about 4200 feet of under ground work. It is a curious fact that there has never been any kind of power or modern machinery on the ground, SC that the owners have bought only the bare claims with magnificent certainty that they contain ore III value $500, 900 in excess of the purchase price. This affords them margin for putting in any kind of machinery they want. It is said that operations will be begun at once on an extensive scale. Enough development work has already already been done for the present, so that the immediate business will be to take out gold.-Phoenix Republican.

IN Rochester, New York, the other day, a negro attempted to assault white woman, The fellow was found and mob attempted ,to lynch him. rope was about his neck and men were dragging him to the foot of tree, and the end of the rope was already thrown over a limb preparatory to being drawn up taut. At this point a constable appeared, Schroeder by name, and fighting his way through the crowd he drew his six shooter and threatened to kill the first man who made move to harm the negro. The crowd in the rear yelled to go on with the lynching but those who were facing the muzzle of the constable's gun thought diff ferently of the lawless act they had planned, and desisted. Other officers came along and the man was hurried to the city jail. That constable had some regard for the responsi- Utilities of his office. The city and state were thereby saved from stain that would be hard to efface. He represented all that makes for stability and order in the state, while the mob meant anarchy, no less. The mob has no place in republic, where the people themselves make the laws and elect those whose duty it is to enforce them,

A Sad Accident.
America,

Louis Junney, an employee of the Copper Queen company met with an accident on Monday night which will probably make him a cripple for the balance of his life. He was employed in the Holbrook shaft and with his fellow miners went to work at o'clock Monday night. Everything went well until nearly quitting time when Junney started across the stope and in some manner lost his footing, falling down a distance Of nearly sixty feet. When found he was unconscious, in which condition he remained for several hours after being taken to the company hospi. tai. He was badly cut up, one wound in the head requiring ten stitches to close it up. In falling he hit his back. bone against the timbers, and the lower part of his body has been in paralvzel condition every since. Ii Is feared that he will never again have the use tf his lower limbs.
 Junney is recent arrival in Bisbee and has not been at work in the mines long. He has the sympathy of the communi y in his misfortune and they sincerely nope for lis ultimate recovery.

Confession of Faith.

A correspondent of the Outlook thus describes the imperialist confession o faith:
 l. believe in keeping up the old war taxes to prevent trade with Europe, and the new war taxes to force trade with | Asia.
 ?. Ibelieve in the exclusion of igno. rant Europeans and the inclusion of the more ignorant Asiatics.
 8. I believe in protective tariff, where farmers would trade abroad, but not in free trade. where manufacturers seek market.
 4. l believe the public cannot man. age monopolies at home, but can man. age subject races on the other side of the globe.
 5. believe in home rule for Iceland. but in allan rule for the Spanish islands.
 6. l believe in a Monroe doctrine, which forbids Europe to interfere with elf.government in America, but per- mits America to interfere with self-gov- erment in Asia.
 2. I believe that Spanish islanders are ur.tit to govern themselves, but will be fit to help govern us.
 s. l believe the blacks have a rigl,t to govern themselves, but that blacks and whites have right to govern yell lows.
 9. believe that taxation without representation is tyrany when applied to us, but philanthropy when applied by us.
 10. l believe that governments get their just powers from the consent of the governed in America, but from the conscious superiority of the governors in Asia.
 II. 1 believe that militaryism and foreign broils are the refuge of despot- ism in Europe and of republicanism in America.
 l2. l believe that American politics have made little America, and that European politics will make Greater America.

Controlling Law s in Political Economy

First-There is no such thing as in. trlnsic value. There is but one kind oi value in economies, viz: purchasing power.
 second-All money, including gold, is "fat" money. All money is created by law, edict, "iat," of government. Third-Demand and supply make and control all values.
 Fourth down the quantity of money in circulation oae.hAlf (other conditions remaining unchanged) and prices of wheat, cotton and other things, as a whole, will fall one.half.
 Fltth-double the quantity of money in circulation (other conditions remain ing unchanged) and prices of the pro- ple's products will double.
 Sixth--Double other forms of prop erty without increasing the quantity of money in circulation. and prices of the peoples products will fall one-half.
 Seventh-There is no such thing in reality as "50-cent dollars" It is not the value of the metal dollar is made of that cont ols its value as money; it is the fact that it is dollar, and is legal tender, that gives it it's value as money.
 Eighth-The men who have so much to say about 50-cent dollars are passing them, right now, for 100 cents--thus proving their statements untrue.
 The foregoing elementary principles of political economy are sanctioned by all the great writers on money for 1900 years past, and the great money lenders of Europe ot today. Anybody can figure from the above eight propositions whether we should restore silver and have "more money and less misery" or not.-George Prentiss.

ANOTHER royalist plot against the government of France has been re- vealed. Whenever a crowd of royalists grow tired of the races or of auto mobile excursions they have their absinthe prepared shade stronger, glare omin- ously across cafe table, shout "Down with the republic!" and go home to sleep, serene in the consciousness that their frghtful plot will be fully re- vealed in the morning and that their names will be used in large type in all the Parisan journals.

BENSON, Aug. [. 1899.

BENSON, Aug. z, 1853.
 The Misses Frank bid adieu to our burg last week, and they carry with them the good will of the community.
 Last Friday the Benson nine with their fair escorts visited St. David, met the sturdy Brighamites and vanquished them. Pitch hay boys; the elusive ball is hard to catch
 Mir. Taylor, the genial night operator at the S. P. depot, has been transferred to Tucson. Mir. and Mrs. Taylor were highly esteemed while in our midst and bear away with them the good will of their numerous friends.
 The Misses Annie and Rosa Stein of Bisbee, are the welcome guests of Mir. and Mrs. Sam Friedman. The young ladies are having splendid time and are making host of friends by their frank and genial manner.
 Service was held by Rev. D. Roberts in the Methodist Episcopal church last Sunday morning and evening. The Sunday school is in a fourishing condi- tion and reflects great credit upon the faithful superintendent and officials. May the good work go on.
 Dr. Lorenzo Doido, physician and surgeon, is located for the present in our midst. He and his amiable wife hail from San Francisco. The doctor came here in answer to call made by the agent of the s. P. railroad. Benson can now boast of two resident physicians and but very little sickness.
 The church social held last Thursday evening at the K. of P. hall by ladies interested in the welfare of the NJ. E.. church, was decided success. Be- tween forty and fifty dollars was taken in during the evening. All praise to the faithful workers. Rumor has it that they will have another in the near future.
 MT. Frederic, who formerly was as. sociated with Mir. Mosley the Bisbee contractor, is dangerously ill. Medical aid is being rendered and friendly hands minister to his wants. It has been thought best to remove him to Mir. Castenada's hotel. Mir. Frederic has the sympathy of the community during his illness. .
 Last Wednesday night the store of citizen Castenada was burglarized and a quantity of goods stolen. A clew being found, Constable Schilliam and aides raided some Mexican houses in the suburbs and found q quantity of the stolen property. Some arrests have been made and more are expected. Benson appreciates it's sturdy official.
 Boring for artesian water will soon commence in our town. One of our enterprising citizens is backing up this enterprise with cash while three citi- zens of St. David will furnish the muscle and boring machinery as their part of the compact. It is the present intention to go down at least thousand feet if water in sufficient quantities is not obtained before that.

IT IS announced from Washington that the reports prepared by Henry A. Castle, the auditor for the Postoflice department, for the two quarters of the last fiscal year ending December 3l, 1898, and March 3l, 1889, slow a steady increase in the receipts of the depart ment and a decrease in the deficit, the increase in receipts over the two corres- bonding quarters ol the fiscal year of 1898 being nearly $3,OO0,000. In Mir. Castles opinion the increase is due to the large volume of business being transacted in all parts of the country.

TIE United States is not exactly securing the seas and waste places Of the earth for more territory, but there is possibility that it may accept Sa. moa before long. Chief Justice Cham bers, of these islands, says Germany and England, which are partners with the United States in their control, would not object to thelr acquisition by this country. If this be true their an nexation may come in the very near future. Just at present, however, the American people would like to see civil governments started in the islands we already have before acquiring any new territory. Let us Americanize Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines before we assnme any new obligations oi this sort.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
