ALGERs REl 'UsAL TO RESIGN

With the an nouncement of Secre. tary Alger's can didacy for the United States senate, It was generally sup posed, and pull ,lished as an assured fact, that he would resign from the cabinet. Subst, .ntial reasons for this belief were bro ught forward. It was argued that Alg,r could not make an active canvass for election as senator and still remain at the head of the war department, where every step he might take would be regarded as hay ing bearing on his personal political fortune, and especially as he has formed an alliance with Governor Pingree, who is not in sympathy with the administration. Furthermore, AL ger is to make his canvass for senator on two issues, which there is every reason to believe the democrats will incorporate in their platform next year, namely, opposition to trusts and the election of senators by direct vote of the people. The difficulties pre- sented in the prosecution of the Phil ippine war are such as to engage the whole attention of the secretary of war, and to be candidate for the sen. ate at the same time would multiply those difficulties and further embsrrass the administration.
 It follows of course that a reasonable man. in Secretary Alger's position would resign But Alger is.,iot a req sonable man, aud he bas bluntly stated that he does psat> K opose to resign, a, be does pot consider his candidacy fol J fiA senate any reason why he should not hold on to his job as member o the cabinet.

 they can bring to bear from othe quarters, their chances of success ar, , favorable.

Mineral Creek District.

W. B. Collom came in Monday from Mineral Greek, where he is su- perintending the development of a group of claims adjoining the Innes property, bonded by Douglas Browne. The owners bonding are: Murray Innes, Thos. Kavsnaugh, Frank Gill. c. E. Heberlein and W. B. Collom. Work on three shafts was begun some time ago, the deepest of which is now 50 feet, and all three shafts are in good sulphide ore, the ore in the Heberlein shalt being glance. assaying as high as 50 per cent in copper. Work is being prosecuted in two of the shafts with day and night shifts. The bonds on these claims expire July l2, and there Is little doubt but that the sale will go, as Mir. Browne appreciates the fact that he has good thing.
 The English comp any which have bonds on the Ray and Taylor mines and other claims are working their usual force. The Innes & Hopkins property has been opened to depth of over 200 feet, showing up an im- mense body of ore. Evidently bright future is assured for the Mineral Greek district.
 There has been move on foot for some time to make the Mineral Creek district tributary to Globe by extend ing the Old Dominion wood road from the summit of Pinal mountain to the mines. The distance from Globe is about 23 miles, more than half of which is covered by good road, and it Is estimated that the remaining eight or ten miles of road could be construc. ted at a cost of about S8000. The Gila Valley, Globe & Northern Rail- road company has been carrying on the investigation, and so favorable are the results that there is strong prob- ability that they will build the road. It would be valuable feeder to the railroad and of very great value to the business interests of Globe.

Final Proceedings in District Court.

Judge Doan returned last Saturday evening and immediately opened court for the disposition of motions for new trials in the cases of Territory vs. John Gatlan and Territory vs. Chas. A. Graf, one being convicted of grand larceny, and the other of murder in the second degree Motions in both cases were dismissed after arguments by counsel lasting until 1:3O p. m, and the court fixed Monday as the day for sentence. Upon the converting of- court at 6 o'clock q. m. on Monday, both Gatlan and Graf received ten years, it being the lowest sentence it was possible to impose in either case, Gatlan suffering the most on account of a previous conviction.
 In the case of Graf an able and de- termined fight had been made by his attorneys, and it was much against their wishes that tAe defendant would not allow them to take an appeal, as irrespective of the prospect of new trial and perhaps ultimate acquittal, the case presented some very nice questions of law.
 The case of the o. D, Copper Min- ing X Smelling Go. vs. c. E. Gum was decided in favor of the plaintiff Notice of appeal has been given from the order denying the motion for a new trial. In re Rebecca Howard ys. W. J. Mallory, the case was submitted ! on briefs by respective counsel, and taken under advisement.
 It was understood that court would be in session all day Monday, but the unexpected adjournment at 8 a. h. pre- vented the final disposition of the case of Hop Lee vs. Ivy Howard, to annul marriage contract, and it goes over until next term; ill the meantime the defendant retains control over the property in dispute.
 King Ussery, charged with grand larceny, is the only one of this terms prisoners remaining iu juil for trial at next term.

Governor Murphy's pronunciamen. to against fake mining schemes in general, and the Spenazuma and Val Verde copper companies in particular, has aroused lively discussion as to the expediency of such action. An official announcement of such n charac- ter is certainly unusual, but that is not saying that it is i'll advised. Objection to it is, We thiuk. based upon partisan grounds which will have little weight with intelligent people. The Phoenix Republican, Tucson Citizen and Su- YER BELT were first to denounce fraud ulent mining schemes, and the stand taken by these papers probably in- fluenced, if it did not suggest, the governors action. There is vast difference between company organ ized to honestly develop and operate mining property with money sub- scribed by the stockholders who fully understand the conditions and are willing to assume the risk of such an enterprise. and scheme promoted by spectators who grossly misrspresent the holdings in order to unload the stock upon credulous people. The latter is criminal conspiracy and the instigators should be prosecuted as criminals. Arizona presents the most inviting field for copper mining of any state or territory in the Union, and this coupled with the fact that many fortunes have been made during the past year or two in copper shares, ren. ders it comparatively easy to float al. most any kind of copper mining scheme on the eastern market, withou, regard to the worth of the alleged mines.

ARIZONA'S CLEAR ATMOSPHERE

The observations made at Mir. Low ell's fine astronon ical observatory at Flagstaff, Arizona, have during recent years established the fact that no re- zion of the globe can offer Il clearer atmosphere for the observation of the stars than is to be found in that terri tory. An independent confirmation of this fact is found in an observation noted in the March report of the Ari- zona section, Mir. G. o. Scott, volun. teer observer at Tonto. in Gila county, notes that on the morning of the 7th he observed star before sun- rise. closer to the moon than any "I have seen in years. Dr. w. E. Day, volunteer observer at Prescott, Yava- pal county, northwest of Tonto, noted "a star travelling along with the moon all day, plainly visible until p. m. on the 8th." The bright star seen by the two observers was undoubtedly the planet Venus. It usually requires q combination of favorable circum stances to see the brighter planets with the naked eye in the daytime, but we un- derstand these observers in Arizona de. tected the planet without any special effort.

 A correspondent of the Phoenix Re. publican writing from Yuma, and who evidently speaks by the card, {" lays bare the working of the prison labor contract, entered into by the territory, through its governor, l.. c. Hughes, and the State of Arizona Improvement company, and which was ratified by Governor M. H. McCord. The orig inal intention was to construct man. moth irrigating canal to take water from the Colorado river above Yuma. With this end in view, a camp was es- tablished near Castle Dome and main- tained for about three months. and some work done at the head of the proposed canal. Work was then discontinued and the convicts were returned to the prison. Later they were again taken out and em- ployed on the company's farm few miles below Yuma until called in by the prison authorities. The records of the prison show that 10720 days work was performed by the prisoners for which the territory received no compensation. By the terms of the contract the territory was to receive 70 cents per day in water shares, for each prisouer employed by the company, so there is due from the company to tho territory for labor of the prisoners $7,5OO. Other expenses incurred by the territory on account of the prison labor contract are: Ex- pense incident to pursuit of Escapes, S325; Extra Salaries, S3257. .0S; Ex- tra Provisions, S501; Extra Articles Purchased, Sll5S. 80; Bedding, Blank cts and Clothing destroyed in camp, Sl000; Total, SIS, ,74i. 88, which the Republican correspondent rightly thinks was paying dear for the whistle. Eleven men escap- ed from the several camps, of whom only four were recaptured. Tho SILVER BELT, it will be remembered, vigorously opposed the prison labor contract from the first, denounced it as job and predicted that the terri tory would be viotimized.

AT REAPING TIME.

The harvest supper has various names
in England, among them being the NELL
supper, harvest supper and harvest
home.
In Windsor, the farmers always
crown the last load of the season with
flowers, and an image, dressed TO repre-
sent Ceres, is borne in a procession.
The United States is about the only
country which has no established har-
vest customs. In some parts harvest
celebrations are he'd, but we have no
traditions such as they have abroad.
In Bavaria the last sheaf is fashioned
into the shape of human being. with
a stick in one hand, a wreath on its
head. and around it the peasants kneel
IN prayer, not TO the image, but TO the
Supreme Being.
In some parts Of England il is the
custom 10 throw water over the good
natured victims who ride in the cart
bearing the last of the grain and the
sport seems 10 afford as much merri-
ment TO the drenched a. TO the drench-
ers.

lovers commands, and had invited
them, like Palinurus, to ''fy with
winged sails" The pallor OF her coun-
tenance was like marble that was flaw

full was the expression; the calmness
of her features were the more marked
because the dark hair that stirred rest

arose from the sea, partly obscuring the
outlines, until they seemed vague aud un-
real. Unreached the earthly isle, but the
soul had fled to one of Pindar's islands
of the blessed dead, by ocean breezes
blown, where flowers of gold burn, some
on the land from radiant trees, and some
fed by the CHANGING waves, with which
the good may Irvine their brows with
necklaces."-Detroit Free Press.
