 The buildings comprising the pres ent camp, consisting of residences, business offices, assay office, boarding house, store, bunk house, etc, are to be moved up to the mine forthwith, the steam hoist was being got into position and but little remained to be done to start the Crown Point on the prosperous career which doubtless awaits it and will make it a most inn portant addition to the great producers of the territory.
 Colonel Brodie's conspicuous service in the recent war with Spain with Rcosevelts Rough Riders, when he was wounded in the engagement at Las Guasimas on the 24th of June last, is fresh in the memory of all Ari- zonians and need not be commented on here, but it may be of interest tci recall the fact that it is just thirty three years since the colonel first damned Uncle Sam's uniform at West Point in 1866.
 Messrs. Merwin and McIlvaine are developing two claims adjoining the Crown Point known as the Polar group. They have shaft seventy feet down in the ledge and a thirty foot drift on the ledge which averages about two feet in width between walls. It runs upwards of S25 in god and is altogether making a good showing

The ledge running through the two first named claims is a large copper vein. the veins on the other claims mentioned being spurs from the main ledge. These latter veins carry geld There are various shafts on these prospects from eighty to 150 feet in depth and a great deal of de- velopment work has been done. one tunnel on the Maud s. having been driven 600 feet in the vein.

 Orders have been placed by MT. Bur son for saving machinery, a market having already been found for the product, specimens of which can be seen at the residence of MT. J. A. FL liott, 102 West Adams street. Phce- nix
 Altogether owing doubtless to the absence of railroad communication. the districts 1 have travelled over this week are (with the exception of Co., onel Brcdie's mine) not in as forward a state of development as the Big Bug, Lynx Creek and Crowned King dis tricts. The signs of the Advance Arizona" movement are nevertheless manifest. and in a very few years the outcome of the work now in hand will effect a wanderous change in the pres ent comparative solitude of these re- gions of the Silver Bradshaws and BuckhOrns.

SOME BUCK--SoME DON'T.

AS soon as it gets a belly-full of
alfalfa it begins to buck"
1t seems almost heartless to snatch
this little flower from its fragrant bed
in the Tribune garden. where wheel
barrow loads Of poetry and fiction, par
ticularly fiction, have doomed and
faded; but as years roll by, we cannot
resist the temptation to Gull little bud
Of that genus for which our neighbor
is best known.
This classic thought, so eloquently
expressed in refined language. and so
characteristic, indicates TO what
sublime heights the rainmaker may
rise upon occasion.
1t likewise shows that a patient hack,
whose back is swayed from the burden
Of a heavy rider, and whose joints are
stiffened from long service under the
lash of a merciIess driver. may still re-
tain some recollection of the ancient
days in which he used, at least. to
think of independence.

PALESTINE AND THE JEWS.

The Deseret News Of this city made
| the announcement the other evening
that the Jews are gathering to Pales-
tine"
! 1t follows with an editorial along the
same line, taking the position that the
Zionist movement has come to stay
We notice that the Chicago Record
takes the same view of the matter, and
that many prominent newspapers ap-
pear to be fully convinced that the Jews
are preparing to reassemble and remain
on their old stamping ground.
This may be so. But we doubt it.
There is d poetic sentiment in the
scheme to purchase the old homestead
and return after twenty centuries Of
wandering. And it is just as possible
as it is poetic, for the Hebrews are &
thrifty race. and the money could be
raised without much trouble. In fact,
there are individual Jews who are
amply able to raise the required
amount. But the project is not as prob
able as it is possible.
The Hebrews are too prosperous, too
practical, too contented in other parts
of the world to care to give up their
homes and go to a strange land. where
the climate and capacity of the coun-
try are not the best on earth. When
the world was new and the Jews were
nomads and religious fanatics build
ing temples in strange places and tend
ing their herds along the streams. Pal
estine was the best they knew. In fact,
it was a better and more productive re-
gion then than now.
The valleys and hillsides have been
deforested, and there is a desert where
there was shade and forage; to be sure
one finds an occasional oasis, but the
greater portion of it is dry and barren.
Nor has the only change come over
the old homestead of the race. In the
twenty odd centuries that have passed
since the Hebrews were at home in
Palestine they have undergone q won
derful transformation. They have ceas-
ed to be an agricultural people. They
are not the herdsmen of today Except
where they are driven from cities
persecution, as in Russia, one
never hears of a Jewish farmer. When
ever attempts TO colonize these people
for the purpose OF making them self
supporting have been tried failure has
resulted. for the reason that they took
10 trade when the hand of persecution
10 longer restrained them. At least
they have a characteristic dislike of
any outdoor occupation.
But the old homestead would never
he the same to them, even if it had re-
manned unchanged. They. are no longer
the men and women of the VINEYARD
and the range. True, they might con-
gest the cities as they do elsewhere, !
and the old towns might take on metro |
politan proportions with the aid of
their wealth and thrift.
Jerusalem might become a great |
financial center and the debtor kings of |
thrones could make their an !
nual pilgrimages to the holy city as the |
interest or rent fell due. But it would (
be a life Of enforced idIeness and wait /
ing the people would have to pass /
through and rear families in-an exist
=nce the charm of which has gone from /
the Hebrew forever.

WAR CLOUDS IN EUROPE.

Dispatches from Europe indicate that
prominent Freedmen are expressing a
desire to get hold of Great Britain,
while in London the sentiment is de-
cidedly in favor of accommodating the
old-tine enemies Of the race
As shown by The Herald Yesterday,
the Liberals are in favor of universal
PEACE. They are laboring assiduously
to bring their factions together along
those lines. Lord Rosebery and all hia
lieutenants are prepared with Drooos-
ais and agreements to submit for the
preservation Of friendly relations with
ali other powers.
But the government, unfortunately,
it would seem. is not dominated by this
sentiment. The Conservatives are ag-
gressive, naradoxical as it may sound.
They are actually Indifferent about the
feelings of other countries. They are
not even choice in their language. Rus
STA mas been offended. France has been
insulted and kicked out OF the Soudan,
Spain has been given the horse laugh
and Turkey bound over to keep the
peace by Lord Salisbury and his CO.
laborers.
For some time it has seemed that the
British government is looking for
trouble. So long as the present admin
istration is in power, France viii never
need to look far for q fight. Some of
her warriors sense it. too.

DEFIANT ISLANDERS.

The Philippine junta, according to a
cablegram from Hongkong. has issued
another manifesto. It reiterates the
protest Of AguinaIdo's followers against
any interference from the United
States. either in the way Of colonial
government or by a military protecto-
rate.
Referring to United States officials
they declare that the FiIipincs will not
tamely submit to being experimental
with by amateur colonial administra-
tors"
Of course, the inference is that
the little man with pompadour and a
gold whistle is a professional. He q
command union prices when he was in
Hongkong, bartering away the liberties
of his people for a sack Of Spanish
gold.
What about the rule of professional
coionizers like the Spaniards? They are
Old hands at the business. It hasn't
been long since the Filipinos were anx-
lous for little amateur control Of the

whistle has other plans in view just
now.

stituency at time, and not loud

from its dreams.
In the meantime Aguinaldo would
better remain out of range of Dewey's
guns, or try to restrain his desire to
fight.
The Filipinos waited a century for
the United States to enter the Philip
pine archipelago. Let them wait a few
months for the United States to get
ready to leave. This is not only mat
ter of politeness, but of judgment.

MUSICAL.

A very enjoyable entertainment was
given last evening at the synagogue,
under the auspices of the Unity con-
gregation. The Chicago lady quartette
and Miss Zulieme Bolkcom, imperso-
nator, were the attractions, and they
furnished a programme which was mere
than ordinarily enjoyable. The quar-
tette work is beautiful, showing a most
careful training, as well as a display of
artistic taste.
AS soloists the work is not as uni
fcrmly good, the contraltos being the
fay orites.
Miss Rose Sutiger possesses beyond
doubt the best voice of the group. 1t
is a rarely beautiful contralto. warm.
rich and mellow, of good range, and
remarkably even in tone. She sang
THE Clang of the Forge" by Rodney,
with great brilliancy, and responded to
the applause with a we'll rendered en-
core. Her singing is certainly no less
than q great treat.
Mrs. Raymond possesses a deep alto
voice, which fairly supports the whole
quartette, and is also heard to good adj
vantage in solo work. This singer pos
sesses the gift of sympathy, and her
rendition of Daddy brought tears to
many eyes. As an encore she gave
Neidnn2erS Serenade.

richness.

best advantage with the quartette
Miss Bolkcom is one of the best of
imDersonators-she is graceful and
easy. and has a remarkably pleasant
voice. She was best in "Grandfather's
Clock" and a descriptive Street Car
Incident"
The favorite Guartette numbers were
Scotch songs arranged by Mrs. Ray
mond: Mendelssohn's Spring Song,''
and "Sleeo. Little Baby of Mine"
The evening was one of thorough en-
joyment, and the audience was most
appreciative, with a steady demand for
encOres.
By special request the ladies have
consented to appear at the synagogue
this evening in a complete change of
programme
This will be fortunate opportunity
for all who missed the pleasure of at
tending last night.
The Euterpe club passed an enjoy
able evening with British composers at
the Literary club rooms. The next meet
ing will be held on the fourth az March,
when Beethoven will be the composer
presented.

FAVORING A CAUCUS.

Before the third state legislature of
Utah assembled The Herald asked the
Democratic members CT the legislature
to caucus and save the party from the
humiliation and annoyance Of . pro-
tracted contest. the tendency of which
would be to create factions and Furnish
campaign material 80 our political op-
pcnenJs.
The Herald thought then and still
believes that the way for Democrats to
settle their domestic differences is in a
party caucus.
After the election and before the as
sembling Of the present legislature The
Herald said. editoriaIy:
The Democrats viii control the next
legislature by a good majority. The
members should not allow their per-
sonal feelings TO obscure the general
welfare Of the party organ cation.
They should not encourage the growth
OF factions By starting a senatorial con-
test before they have a chance to get
together. 10 consider the claims Of all
the candidates. The majority is not so
great this time that the Democratic
legislators VIII be able 10 fight il out
in the joint session, knowing that a
matter who IS victorious.
Just before the legislature assembled
this time The Herald made this request
of Democratic members:
At the coming session it viii be
necessary to caucus for the good of
the party and all concerned. Tt Will
be advisable to discuss the respective
merits OF all the aspirants, and this
discussion should be fair and frank
and friendly. which is only possible
where all concerned are untrammeled
by personal ties or obligations.
The Herald has advocated a party
caucus ever since election day. Marked
copies containing editorials favorlng a
party caucus were mailed TO all the
Democratic members-elect. After the
bauoting began The Herald refrained
from discussing the senatorial situa-
ton. owing to the proneness of candi-
dates 10 take offence, and the DISPOSE
tion of d few mischief makers-pliant
tools Of P. II. Lannan-to arouse the
suspicious and jealousies Of honest,
well-meaning members Of the legisla-
ture in the hope of injuring the Demo-
cratic organization.
1t is time for real Democrats, in
whatever senatorial camp they may find
themselves. TO consider the welfare of
the Democratic party.
In the interest Of harmony they
should do it.

PRACTICING SELF-DENlAL.

Some people are so fond of growing
and grumbling that they keep it up
whether anyone is listening or not. At
the same time they will quarrel with
themselves, so firmly has the habit of
a lifetime grown upon them.
As an example the following is
clipped from an editorial explanation
Of its purpose in Hbeling the state
which appeared in yesterdays Tribune.
It is a gem of consistency and lucidity.
Here it is:
Tt CThe HERALD says that we have
charged that the people of Utah nomi-
nate and elect persistent lawbreakers
10 office for the express reason that
they are Iawbreakers. What we have
said is that B. H. Roberts wis nomi-
mated for the reason that he is a per
sistent lawbreaker."
That is untrue" says the indignant
storm-starter. Then it rattles off lot
of choice eDithets. by which it would
argue that anyone who says it called
Roberts "a lawbreaker" when it dis
tinctly said persistent lawbreaker," is
a liar, broncho, slave, sneak, snake,
scoundreI and a mugwump."
OF course, the points it makes by
epithets and the argument of vitupera-
ton are its stock in trade: no one
would deny it the right to use them; to
leave them out would be to leave its
page a blank.
What our Dious contemporary is evil
IDENTIFY trying to do is to deny that it
said what it said, and then to deny
what it denied. all of which is very
clear-li1e mud.

PARTIES TO THE TREATY.
To the Editor Of The Herald:

10 the Editor CT Inc Herald.
Kindly answer through the columns
of your valuable paper the following
questions, and oblige: ID Who were
the chief promoters of the so-called
"Clayton- Bulwer treaty.? ~ What
were its contents? CD How does it af-
feet the purchase of the Nicaragua
canal by the United States?
DiamondVille, Wyo. NEILS.
l. The Clayton-B ulwer treaty was an
agreement between the governments of
Great Britain and the United States.
The former was represented in the ne
gotiations by William Henry Lytton
Bulwer, English ambassador at
Washington, and this government by
John Middleton Clayton. secretary of
state under President Taylor.
2. 1t would require several columns
of closely-set matter to give its con-
tents. However, a fair synopsis was
printed in The Herald of Jan. q, 1899.
1t was an amicable arrangement
whereby neither country could move
in the construction of an isthmian ca
nal without the consent OF the other,
and the granting of numerous conces-
sions for commercial and military pur-
poses.
3. One provision of the treaty is that
neither government will ever obtain
or maintain for itself any exclusive
control over the said ship canar';
stipulation that must necessarily be
cast aside to justify the construction
of the waterway by this government.
However, there seems to be a tacit
between Great Britain
and the United States at present, by
which the terms of the treaty are to
be ignored, each power trusting the
other, as it never did before, for JUS
tice and fair treatment in trade and
time of war.
