been long exploring and colonizing,
while Germany came on the scene only
sixteen years ago. In 1883 the German
flag was raised for the first time in
southwest Africa. German East Africa
was added soon after. Thus far, how
ever, it cannot be said that any marked
development has followed this move
ment, as Germany. coming late, took
the least desirable desert country, and
even the scant possibilities of this have
been further weighed down by official
ism and militarism, which are the
main characteristics of German colo
nizing, as against the local civil admin
istratiOn which the British and French
put into force.
In West Africa Germany has also set
her foot-in the rKameruns, not ia
from the Niger country, and at Tago
Land. running from the Gulf of Guinea
back to a rich interior. With Ger
many's industrial awakening and her
need for new markets this German en-
pire in Africa is viewed at Berlin as a
seat for future greatness
Other powers-Italy, Portugal, Spain
and Belgium-have their possessions in
Africa, but they do not rise to the dig
nifty of empires, although Italy, but for
the reverse by the Abyssinian noun
taineers, would have We'd with Ger
many in the extent of possessions.
The United States has thus far given
no attention to territory in Africa, and
has permitted the other powers to ap-
portion Africa among themselves as
best suited them. Liberia has at times
reached out to this country for help,
and an American protectorate has been
proposed. But Liberia is little more
than a dot on Africa, having an area
of 1900 square miles. Moreover, it is
not a white mans country. As char
ity. protection might be given to Lii
IBERIA, but for practical consi Iteration it
would be a travesty for the United
States 70 look to that spot as the seat
of future American effort in Africa.

GLOBE SIGHTS.
(From the Atchison Globe)

A peculiar thing about the mining
fever is that it will cause a man who
is honest in other respects. to rob his
best friends.
An Atchison man has n correspond
ent who often writes to him in this
strain: Although it is now near mid
night, L cannot go to bed without writ
ing to you" etc. The Atchison man
lately wrote his correspondent as fol-
lows: why write to me just before
midnight? Why not write during the
day? You put me under too much OBJ
legation. Unless you can write during
the day, when you have nothing else
to do, please do not write at ALL"
There is a man in Atchison who is a
fine workman, and attends strictly to
his business when on duty. He sup
ports his family well, saves a part of
his wages, and is generally prosperous.
His employer gives him excellent
wages; more, in fact, than other men.

FCRTUEEs IN CATTLE GROWING
Honduras Offers Unusual 0pportuni-

DR. Edwin r. Heath, counsel for the

Ivon D. Heath, under date OF Puerto
Cortez. Honduras. Central America.
November l, calling attention to the
Of cattle and hogs in Honduras. Beef
cattle now are in great demand in
Cuba, Porto Rico and other southern
markets, and Honduras has been a
heavy exporter. In this little republic
alone, which has a very fertile SOIL an
abundance of running water, a climate
free from frost, snow, ice or cold
storms, with no extreme hot weather,
hundreds of thousands of acres of pas
ture lands, green the year round, await
herds of cattle, sheep, goats and hogs,
which can be raised at very small cost.
Aside from the advantages of a quick
market, Mr.. Heath calls attention TO
the fact that all expenses are paid IN
silver and all products exported are
paid for in gold.
Mr.. Heaths letter in part is as FOL
lows:
ITO the man who desires to win a
fortune quickly and easily, probably
there is no richer field at this time and
for a few years to come, than in Hon
duras, Central America. Let him bring
81, 200. $4,000 or more, to invest in the
growing of cattle and hogs.
Last January I rode on mule back
eighty miles westward from San Pedro
Sula, in the depression of the noun
tains drained by the Chameleon river,
through forests of pine to the line with
Guatemala, rising from $50 feet eleva-
ton above the ocean to 1000 feet. All
the way along I saw cattle grazing.
I crossed numerous small streams,
clear and pretty. There is little or no
underbrush. The ground is grass COW

enough apart to suggest an extensive

THE PLATINUM FIND.
The williams News Comes Back at the
Prospect.

Following the expose of the piati-
mum find in the Prescott Prospect OF
last Sunday. Williams merchants this
week have sold nearly ten thousand
dollars worth of supplies to go out for
the use of workmen in this so-called
fake" No man knows what he has
so well as the fellow directly interested,
and it's best to let him alone; for he
generally has four aces up his sleeve
against the other fellows pair. the
men interested in the platinum busi-
ness know just what they have. and
they are making their plans directly
on the results given them by assayers
of repute and thoroughly competent to
know what they are doing. They have
shown their assays to the News and
substantiated their opinions; and the
News believes them, and knows the
business men of Williams believe the
same thing. The gentlemen interested
are not asking anybody for cent; and
have nothing for sale. The News VIII
support them till it knows it is wrong.
If it is wrong, it is so unintentionally;
and as an answer to the innuendoes
that are being made by people outside
of this community and people with no
earthly interest around here-that TINS
paper has been bought up by the syn
dictate, we state emphatically that
eight subscribers represent the sum
total of money exchanged between TINS
paper and the platinum syndicate, as

MINING NOTES.

, The Denver Post is responsible for
this mining item: A Kansas man who
secured a new mine in the west wrote
to his wife that he would name it after
her. and she smiled like she did before
| they were married. and went around
and told the neighbors how awfully
nice and sweet it was of the dear COOL
man, but a great light dawned upon
her when another letter came with the
printed heading: THE Holy Terror
Mine"
Clark Rodgers, who is mining at Ash
Peak, Arizona, some ten miles from
Duncan, was in this city this week.
Mr. Rodgers and Joe T. Tong are in
partnership in the Ash Peak mines,
and have some wonderfully rich prop
critics in that camp, says the Western
Liberal. Their nearest shipping point
is Sheldon. They expect to make a
shipment soon to see if the smelter re-
turns will pan out with the assay re-
turns. If they do they they will not
have to make many shipments before
they will be qualified for United States
senators, on the admission of the ter
ritories.
The construction of new smelling
plant at this point is assured, says the
Tucson Star. The many tributary
mining interests insure the success of
the enterprise if placed under expert
enced management. There is no point
in the territory which offers more nat
ural advantages for a large custom
smelter than Tucson. Those who come
first will be the fortunate investors.
Sheriff Wakefield returned from Hell
vetia and reports prosperity at the new
camp. The IT'S ton smelter which was
blown in on Saturday for the first time
was turning out copper matte to the
satisfaction of the management and
the narrow gauge railway of three
miles in length from the mine to the
smelter was running in good shape for
it's initial performance, says the Tucson
Star. Daily stages from Wallis station
as well as Tucson arrive and leave on
time. Tucson is fortunate in securing
a good trade from the group. which has
a population of over 500, of this num-
Der $50 men being on the pay roll of the
Helvetia Copper Mining and Smelling
company The coke and supplies for
the company's store come in from
Wallis station. Shipments of matte
will go out through that station on the
S. P. railway.
Ed Sawyers came up from the Gun
creek mining district the latter part of
last week. He says the group of mines
known as the Erie Consolidated. owned
and being developed by the Wahnita
Copper company, continue to improve
as development work progresses. The
future of this property is now about
assured. The developments are almost
far enough advanced to warrant the
erection of a sinelter and the work now
being done is more for the purpose of
determining the capacity of the smelter
than anything else.--Winslow Mail.

Robert Caldwell of Woodstock

Robt. Barker of Neihart at this
writing.
Description of the Diamond r
concentration to be erected at Mel
hart is found on the front page of
this issue.
Nine citizens were i~ncarcerated in
the city Jail on the glorious 18th,
principally for drunk and disorderly,
and in consequence the city treasury
has been fattened to the tune of $67.
Only one of the nine got away.
Constable Kempfer took two con.
victs to the county Jail Thursday
on mittimus of Justice Abbott's
court, Steve Peterson for 80 days
and Walter Olson for 80 days
They are old chain gang culprits
case-hardened and there is good
ground to believe that they have
been bad citizens elsewhere.
1t is said that David l.. S. Barker
has sold his mining interests in the
Rat Portage country and practically
wound up the business there, so fa1
as the mines which he operated are
concerned. 1t is also stated that the
terms of sale are substantial, consid'
erably in advance of the amount ex.
pended by this gentleman. Mr.
Barker is now at Neihart where he
will remain for awhile. He is ,
thorough going mining man, whose
success in operations here made hin
the envy of many, and the utter lacl
of ostentation attending his move
ments has endeared him to hi
friends, who are almost the entir'
population. Mr.. Barker is opel
hearted, steady in habits, obligins
to those in need and a steadfas
friend to his friends. The HERALl
looks upon him as one of the bes
men for Neihart that Neihart has ev
er seen.
