An Arizona Necessity.

To aD observant and experienced mining man who visits the various mining plasts of the country, no- thing presents itself so forcibly as the general absence of complete concentrating attachments. Go even to the latest introduced enterprises and the management seem content with the most limited devices for saving the plate waste and base values from the ores. It is too Iad that this is true, and yet it is prac- tically universal fact in this ceun- try, and yet It is a practice that IS readily accounted for. The seduc- tive enchantment of Yavapai's rich pockets of free ore has extended so potent an influence in shaping local mining opinion that it is proving q slow and difficult process to bring our miners to a realization of the extent that this TerFitory's mining future depends upon the successful saving of values in it's ores that cannot be secured by ordinary amalgamating process. At Ward, Colorado. a base pyrite ore is ex- tracted, hauled by wagon to a mill and concentrated at total expense of $3.25 to $3 35 per ton
 This ore, exclusively concentrat - ing rroposition, averages a saving of $4 per ton, leaving a net profit to the operators of about 70 cents per ton. Of course auch a proposi- ticn es this must be baued upon large ore bodies and cheap mining, bat Arizona has as good a claim as any section to the probability of such mineral bodies. I wish to inslat and to "harp" upon the theme this neglect of the base and unplatable values in the ores of this country. It is now generally conceded that ths most free of local ores carry per cent of gold that quicksilver will not retain, while much of the mineral of our veins carry high per cent of the yellow metal in such form
 Still our mill men, almost with out an exception, seem satisfied that what two or three vanners will not catch is not worth saving. This is bad mlstske and should be cor rected.-W. E. Mendenhall in the Prescott Courier.

TEsrs with liquld fuel are now being carried on in the British navy, and the experiments appear to be very encouraging. Trials are to be made with different kinds of oils, and in the new torpedo destrayers that are being built tho question of adapting the boilers for the use of liquid fuel is being seriously consi- dered. The trails 30 far made have been in a torpedo boat, and 1t has been found that there is but little change of structural conditions necessary, in cass the boat is to burn oil or coal, and ths few minor modi- fieations essential can be made with out laying the boat up for any length of time.
