THE UNITED VERDE MINE.

It is fact not generally known, but fact all the same, says the Journal Miner, that proposition to purchase the United Verde mine at $1O0,GOO,0OO was recently refus- ed. The deepest workings of the mine are now only 700 feet, while recent explorations with a diamond drill were made to depth of 2,OOO feet, showing 9 continuation ot the ore body to that depth. If the property remains in the family of w. A. Clark, his great grandchild- ren will leave a princely inheritance in the property to their offspring. The value of the mine is simply be- yond computation. Its known out put IS over $1 100000 per month in copper, but the additional value in gold and silver Is known only to Mir. Clark and a very few of his most confidential and trusted em. ployes. The company is capitalized with 100000 shares of the par value of S10 each, but for the last block of stock purchased by Mir. Clark he paid s1O0 per share, or on a basis ot $3O,OO0,0OO for the mine. Whlle there are from 1000 to 1,20O men on the pay rolls of the company, less than fifty miners are employed in the mine. The remainder of this regiment of employees are engaged in handling the ore after this little squad has knocked it down, smelt- Ing the Gre, handling the product and in various other capacities.

the enthusiastic applause subsided to permit him to talk. When silence was finally restored Col. Roosevelt remarked to the audience that one of the most agreeable surprises of his life had been experienced since his arrival on that platform, and that was the unexpected meeting there of the former lieutenant-colo- nel of his Rough Rider regiment. He told, as only the eloquent colo nel can, of the bravery, courage and coolness of Col. Brodie, in action Tn Cuba, of how he refused to retire from the firing line after being wounded until the fighting was all over, and concluded by saying: 'Now ladies and gentlemen, I want you all to see this brave man." and walking over to where Col Brodle was seated, led him blushing and embarrassed to the front of the plat form, when another outburst of ap- plause and waving of handkerchiefs, lasting as long as that for the ap- pearance of Col. Roosevelt ensued this incident shows that our eastern citizens have lost none of the ardor and enthusiasm manifested over the return of the brave soldiers a year ago from Cuba, but that the fire ot patriotism and the glow of gratitude is still alive in their hearts Jour nal Miner.

Browning societies, golf clubs, wo- mans rights organizations, and the "high-toned literary and social life" which thrives on ''the elite side of Chicago" Her mother and brother sympathize with her, but her father, who works in the mill, IS hard to deal with in that he will insist on sitting at table in his shirtsleeVes and in his stocking feet. "Mr. Dooley" is the family's most intimate friend and is called upon frequently to run across and set matters straight.

EASTERN FARMERS AND THE ARID
 WEST.

The price of commodities depends upon two factors-supply and de- mand. It would seem that some of the opponents of national irrlga- tion forget this and lose sight of some other we'll established facts. When the great middle westrwas opened for farming some fifty years ago, New England cried out that she would be ruined, and many a farm, indeed, was given over to scrub second growth wood. How ever, as a Harvard statistic1an has pointed out, and proved by figures and reports covering a long period, there has never been a time when farming, properly carried on in New England, has not paid a fair return for the capital and labor in vested. A fair return is all any
  man can ask. The farmer or fruit grower who expects to be protected so that he can make enormous profits on his particular product must know that such protection is not for the general good any more than an unnecesy ary tariff on ma nufactured articles. If it could have been proven that the average orange orchard yielded $ 500 or more an acre, yearly net profit to the grower, no import tariff could pos sibly have been obtained. Excep- tional cases prove no rule, and every

THE PROGRESS OF ARIZONA.

The development of Arizona has profted by the good times as we'll as that of some of it's neighboring states. No less than four railroad lines are projected between Phoenix and other points in the Territory, one of them going to small har- bor on the Gulf of California, where the Phoenix people hope to get that sea outlet for their products which they failed to reach some years ago because of the failure of the plan to connect with San Diego. Other lines will penetrate a rich mining and agricultural country of which Pho9- nix desires to be the commercial mporium, and one will reach out for distance of 200 miles for a junction with the Southern Pacific. These lines are backed in such a way as to warrant the expectation that they will be built.
 Aside from these signs of progress and prosperity the mining activities of Arizona are full of encourage ment for the people who live there or who expect to invest in Terri torial enterprises. The extent of the copper interests of Arizona has been we'll known for years, but only lately have the vast deposits been appreciated at their true value. About Tucson very much is doing. Late reports say that more than 1900 men are now employed in the producing copper mines and in the development of new ones, as against 200 that were Tn service ten months ago. There is also a large produc- tlOn Ol SOlu.
 The Mayor of Yuma is authority for the statement that his part of Arizona is experiencing good times from the development of farms, orchards and stock ranges, and that the industrious population is all the while increasing. It is certain, moreover, that the whole Territory is far more popular with homeFeek- CTS than it was before the wild no tions of an existing state of border rufianism were swept away, and that the present year has seen definite progress toward a change ! for the better in organic political conditions.-S. F. Chronicle.

INA, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1899.

one who has studied tho situation
 knows that the orange industry
 must be protected if the average grower under ordinary conditions of soil, climate, water and weather, IS to reap fair return for his capital and labor. So the middle west farmer cannot object to the opening up of new land in proportion to the increase of the national population and expansion of our national market. Above all, he cannot be impressed too strongly with the fact that it is @ land of homes, not farms, which national irrigation will open up; for that the result will be an in creased demand for eastern farm products, rather than a greater SUD- ply of them in the worlds markets
 The Times has repeatedly pointed out the fact that there is no danger of the products of irrigation com peting with the grains of the eastern farms, Pioneers are seldom capital ists, and the class of men who make the most successful farmers are not the ones who can pay the cost of long transportation from the east, a high price for land, and wait sev- eral years for crop returns. The price of land must be made low, security of both land and water must be guaranteed by the govern ment, and then, and then only, will the arid regions be covered with homes and the congested centers of population be relieved Il.

VISITING THE BRIDGE.

Natural bridge, on Pine creek, in the northern part of Gila county, is one of the greatest natural curiosi-
 ties in the United States, equalling if not surprising the natural bridge of Virginia. The Globe Silver Belt says it spans the creek at height Of about 200 feet and the walls of the canyon rise above it on either side 700 or 800 feet, and on one side form perpendicular precipice The bridge is of lime formation, and the inside of the great arch, which is some 250 feet across, is worn by the water as smooth as though chiseled by the skillfal hand of a stone-mason. The arch on top is nearly if not quite 400 feet in width, 1000 feetin length, across the canyon, and at the thinnest part only six feet through. About the center of the arch is hole large enough to admit the body ofa man, and through which one can look down into the crystal pool of water 200 feet below.
 The dike which forms the bridge extends in 8 sweeping curve up the right side of the stream and together with the bridge proper affords @ surface area of about one hundred acres of fertile land, which David Gowan has converted into a fine farm. He has considerable acreage under cultivation, bearing orchard of choice fruit, vineyard, alfalfa patch, field corn, and kitchen garden.
 Tobacco thrives wonderfully well, and two crops year are raised Mir. Gowan raises only enough tobacco for his own use and to sup ply his neighbors. A magnificent spring issues from the right side of the canyon, at height to admit of the water being easily conducted to any portion of the farm, and the volume is great enough to fill ditch four feet wide and two feet deep, and to irrigate much more land than is available for cultivation.
 The climate at the bridge is ex- ceedingly equable, being cooler in summer and much milder in winter than that of the surrounding coun- try, and to this fact is ascribed the the wonderful variety of vegetable growth-numbering some two hun. dred and and fifty species of trees, shurbs, vines and plants. Mir. Gowan found growing there a tree differing from any he had ever seen, and no one who visited the place could tell it's name. MT. Gowan many years ago sent few twigs to the Smithsonian institute at Wash ington, and in due time was inform ed that it was variety of cypress known to grow only in Greece.
 The vicinity abounds in numer- ous fossils and shells, and wherever moisture percoIates through the calcareous rock beautiful stalactites are formed. Underneath the bridge are numerous caves and caverns, some of which have never been ex- plored, and which are lined with these opaque cones resembling huge ieicles Herald.
