Mining Notes.

The Corona company's stamp mill lately passed through Bisbee to Sonora. The camp is eight miles south of Bisbee.
 H. W. Blaisdell is reported to have secured lease on the Mohawk com pany's mine at Schutz and will erect a cyanide plant.
 Col. A. o. Brodie has returned to his Grown Point mine from New York, where he purchased large uantity of mining machinery.
 The United Globe company employs 250 men. The Globe works are all running again, with the exception oi the Old Domion smelters, which are ex- spected to start soon.
 The Bisbee Orb reports strike in a claim owned up the Cochise Copper Mining company of stringer of cop per ore. The ore is peacock copper and the stringer increases in size as depth is attained.
 Numerous promising strikes on the Coal Field strip are reported. Gold and silver are found, but copper pre- dominates. One mine, having the en- tire shaft in ore, yields rock assaying 25 to 35 per cent copper.
 The development and operation of the coal mines in the vicinity of Hawk Canyon will give tremendous impetus to mining enterprises throughout south ern Arizona. The Stanley Butte, Aravaipa and Table Mountain districts arg but a few miles distant from the coal measures. Globe is only forty miles away, while the numerous camps in. .Gila, Graham and Pinal counties will have a positive boom with cheap coke so near at hand.
 Fourteen claims adjacent to the great United Verde co pper mines at Jerome have been sold to New York and Connecticut capitalists. G. w. Hull was the principal owner, and Jas. Shirley, Prescott mining engineer, negotiated the sale. It is claimed that these properties, known as the United Verde extension, will prove equal to clark's famous mine,

 COLONEL BIRD of the Nogales Oasis is a sure-enough bird. In his last issue he advocates the doing away with the Constitution of the United States. But there are other birds, and the Re publican party is full of them, judging by the number who have totally dis regarded that great instrument for To these many years. Colonel Bird is honest, at any rate, for it is far more decent to do away with the Constitu- ton entirely than to nullify it as has recently been done.

RaoIalmIna ArId America.

The Los Angeles Times recently printed strong editorial on the sub feet: "Arid America and the Philip pines" The view was taken that in looking at the new possessions the people of America forget the splendid
 possibilities of their own domain. The editorial endorsement is especially grateful at this time to the people of Southern Arizona, who are straining every nerve to secure water storage and consequent further reclamation of the desert. The Times says in part ::
 'What is needed to create this new land of promise in our midst, and to reach and possess it and enjoy its beauties and acquire it's wealth :? What must we do to transform arid America into g new western empire,
The Florence tribune., 1899-01-07

and create all its grand opportunities for homes and happiness and interstate trade and commerce, and open up It's markets for our manufacturers, and US mines for our home seekers, and It's vast opportunities for energy and in- dustry to expend their force in adding to our national wealth and population and grandeur?
 "All that is needed to realize the dream of the redemption of arid America from the desoletion of the desert is that the waters now wasted should be stored for use by those who till the soil, without burdening them with debt too heavy to be borne for the construction of the storage reser- voirs. Give the irrigators, who are waiting to till these deserts, water at a rate they can pay, and you give them that with which they will work mir acles as marvellous as those of the lamp of Aladdin. All that is necessary to do this, as Col. Chittenden suggests in his report, is to give to the arid states and territories their fair share of the vast sums disbursed from the na- tional treasury for national improve ments, to be used to build storage reservoirs in those states where there are no rivers and harbors to improve but where the wasted waters of win ter must be saved to make available the resources of the country.
 "When Dewey opened fire on the Spanish fleets in the harbor of Manila, he launched upon career of ter ritorial expansion. He started the building of great cantilever bridge, to bring us into commercial connection with the Orient. If the bridge is to be built so that it will endure with safety, those foundations must be laid deep and strong in rural homes on American soil, and we must look to arid America for place for these homes to multiply and increase until they form a founda- tion so strong that it will balance back against the weight of all the dangers of imperialism by multiplying and preserving people on whose shoulders can rest government 'of the people, by the people, and for the people,
 Let us organize a new army for the peaceful conquest of arid America Arm them with picks and shovels, and blows aud scrapers, to build dams, dig canals; officer them with engineers, sustain them on the products of the irrigated lands, and in the end make them permanent army of occupation and quarter them in the homes that they will build on the land their labor has reclaimed. Open the ranks of this great army of industry and occupation by irrigation and reclamation for enlistment from the multitudes ot wage earners of the east, who are waiting and longing for a chance to geta home on the land where they may achieve individual industrial in dependence and gain a livelihood by their labor by tilling their own acres
 If we will but turn our attention as nation and people to the great task, we will prove again that peace hath her victories as we'll as war and by spending far less of our national treasure than the Philippines will have cost us, we will have acquired and an nexed country worth far more to us, producing more wealth, sustaining a greater population, and consuming more manufactures than the whole Philippine archipelago, with all its teeming millions of Malays and China. men,"

MR. WALTER H. GRAVES, Inspector of the Interior Department, went to the site of the proposed Buttes reser- voir yesterday, in company with MT. Elwood Hadley, the Sacaton Indian agent. Mr. Graves visit is for the purpose of inspecting and reporting upon the water storage proposition, in which the Indian service is now so greatly interested. There is no doubt the report will be highly favorable, as it has got to be an absolute necessity, the question of furnishing water for the Indians in order to render them self-supporting. The engineers of the Geological Survey are also enthusiastic, and are expending the $20,000 appro- pria:ed by the last Congress for pre- liminary work in a systematic and economical manner. Mr. J. Fred App pleby. who was one of Mir. Davis, assist ants in the original survey, arrived from Washington on Wednesday last. and joined the corps now at work at the Buttes. Everything points to the early completion of this great work, the first of it's kind to be inaugurated by the general Government.

IN the hustle and confusion incident to his hurried departure, ". c. Kehoe, publisher of the late Florence Enter prise, neglected to pay number of bills which he doubtless overlooked in his eagerness to hunt up Alfonso Jones, editor of La Juveutud, who also left a number of mourning creditors. Hasn't Florence had about enough of this class of Irresponsible adventurers :? And doesn't it seem barely possible that money would be better invested in newspaper that has labored for years in upbuilding the valley, and at the same time has managed to pay it's honest debts?
