and home treatment did no good. A friend

When the MINER recently referred humorously to the efforts of the PheniX papers to secure the return of their summer tourists by telling them of the delightful cool weather which prevailed there, it was jumped on by its Prescott con- temporary, as well as by one or two of it's Phenix contemporaries. That there was much more truth than humor in the aforesaid remarks of this paper Is evidenced by the fol- lowing from the Republican:
 ''One of the most direful results of the present warm spell is a cool ness h many Phenix families, which may end in a breaking of of marital relations. About two weeks ago the weather got pleasant and many husbands whose wives were on sea coast and mountain, wrote to them that the veTtebrae of the sum mer of 1899 had been permanently dislocated. Soon after that the tide of wives turned toward PheniI and washed up against hot spell, the like of which the oldest timer had never seen in the valley at this season."
 It is in order now for the Herald and Courier to jump on the RePubli can for its islanders on the PheniI climate.

tiOns, reported next. Supt. Cox stated at this institute that during his visits to the schools of the county. he had found that in more than one-third of the country schools there had been DO program of the daily exercises. This committee prepared an excellent program, and Supt. Cox will insist that it be placed in a conspicuous place 10 each school room. either as prepared by the committee or modified to suit the school.
 Miss White, of Congress, awak- eued q lively interest in the condi- ton of the couptry schools of the county, of the serious difficulties under which the teachers in these schools labored, and the helpless ness of the teacher ia the matter.
 After discussion by ether teach CTS as to the various needs of the country schools, and the best meth ods of filling those needs. the meet jug adjourned.
 The following resolutions were adopted prior to adjournment:
 Resolved, That we, the teachers of Yavapai county, are emphatically of the opinIon that the work of county institutes is of superior value to the work done in joint eoun- ty sessions and territorial assOcis- tions, such as were held heretofore iu the territory, inAsmueh as it gives opportunity for more indi- vidual discussions and, furthermore since the session has been in a place centrally located. a majority of the teachers have been able to be present at and take psTt, thus mAk ing the session one of general inter est.
 Resolved, That this time, the first week in September, Is of the most benefit to the teachers aud schools since the beginning of school term is the best for the introduction and application of new ideas.
 Resolved, That We, the teachers, have been greatly helped and en- unused to fresh efforts by thus insti- tute, and feel that its success has been largely due to the efficient leadership of C. F. Cox, our able superintendent.
 Resolved, That sinceIe thanks are due Miss Opdy ke for her able and willing services as secretary, and for reporting the proceedings ot the sessions to the daily newspapers.
 Resolved, That vote of thanks is due Mir. Matthews, the genial supervisor of the Prescott schools for his aid in giving intellectual tone to our institute by his words of broad-minded wisdom.
 Resolved, That a vote of thanks be rendered to the trustees of the Methodist church for the use of their pleasant building for the eve ming session Thursday. Resolved, That vote of thanks be extended tO Rev. Wyckof aud T. J. Boltz and all others who. in any way, have contributed to the success of our institute.
 Resolved, That We appreciate the courtesy of the railroad company in granting the teachers reduced rates on this occasion,
 Resolved, That We fully appre- ciate the efforts of the city teachers in making this institute pleasant tO the visiting teachers.
 Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be printed in all the county papers.

THE MINES OF JAPAN.

Silver is found in 45 places in Japan. and in 1896 afforded yield of 1 800, ,oO0 ounces, which is equal 10 an increase of almost 6SO,O0O ounces since 1893.
 The gold production of Japan since 1893 has risen almost 5000 ounces, and in 1896 reached the yield of 9. 300 ounces. The l9 existing gold mines are partly in the emPeror's possession, partly in that of private parties.
 Very considerable is the copper pro duction of Japan. there being St present 70 mines. During the fiscal year ended June 30 last 35.OO0. 900 eatties, or about 50O.O 900 centners, of copper, valued at 5,sO0, 900 yen (about $3,oO0 .00O), were mined. Since 1875 the copper prodnc- tion has increased almost ninefold. Most copper is sent Go Hong-Kong, then to China and to England. the total ex- port amounting to 35O.O00 eentners-i. e.. hve-sevenths of the whole produe- ton.
 Coal mining has, since the war with China, risen about 1 I,5OO, 900 tons. and in 1897 more than 100000 tons of coal, valued at about $6. .OOo, 900. were export ed Altogether there are 12O coal mines, of which, however, only about 50 are of importance. A new coal field was discovered in 1896 and work has now been commenced on it. Ii is situ- ated in the province of Iburi, on the River MukAwAgawA, and is said to con tain 40,OO0, 900 tons above and 30,0o0. 900 tons below the level of the sea.

ABOUT FREE MAIL DELIVERY.

Postofice Inspector Hall has taken a lively interest in Prescoits postoflice affairs and has backed up the suggestions and efforts made by Postmaster Akers to secure increased postal facilities, and today the town has the finest postofiiee of any town oi its size in the southwest. MT. Hail hs. also been an earnest worker in securing free delivery for the town. and is much astonished and surprised at not only the apathy shown by our people in the matter but in the active opposition from some of our citizens and notably from a member of the city council Prescott is spending thousands of dollars in improving her water sys- tem and in putting in a sewer sys- tem, and m grading some of her streets, all of which IS creditable. as these are essentials to her future growth.
 The United States government says to the town: "You have now attained that growth as a city and in the volume of your postal business which entities your citizens to have the.r mail delivered at their doors and to have postal boxes placed at convenient places for depOsiting their outgoing mail. Number your houses. place the names of your streets on your street cornt rs and put up the boxes which I will furnish and I will give you these conveniences free of expense and will also provide employment for two or three of your young men and pay them for their services.
 Under these circumstances 1t IS no wonder that Mir. Hall expresses as tonishment that single individual can be 'ound to oppose 1t. The en- tire expense 10 the city would be probably less than SlO0 to secure thIs, while the standing that it would give the place 10 be known that it IS a city oi sufficient impor- tanoe to maintain a free delivery for its mail service, would be very great. The houses have practically been numbered, and such as have not been soon would be when it came to toe known that this is essential to free delivery, so that all that re mains for the city to do is to put the street corner signs aud place the boxes in position.
 Despite the opposition of one member of the council, the JOURNAL MINER has confidence that free de- livery will not be thwarted by any action of that body, as 1t has shown that its members are possessed of the spirit of progress, and certainly they will not stand in the way of progress when it can be secured at 6 nominal expense.
 A number of California towns which have reached that stage when they are entitled to free delivery, have been denied it. There are only three towns in this territory entitled to tt. These are Prescott, Phenix and Tucson. The latter two cities are already in the enjoyment of this system and are highly pleased with its working.

THE FUTURE OF YAvAPAl

For years the citizens of this county have classed the larger part of Ysvspai county as a gold pro ducer, and as such We have no req son Co be ashamed of its record Later the United Verde astonished us with its remarkable wealth of copper and many miners still cling to the idea that the Jerome district was an exception and that gold would still predominste in the bal ance of the county. But from the way development is proTing up in the big mines 1t is growing more appar- ent that gold is by product and that copper is the Predominating metal Recognizing this 1t is but reasonable to speculate little upon the future of old Yavapai.
 If the developments now under way keep pace with those prose cuted during the last year, we may expect to see this county outstrip the combined products of every other county ID Arizona and event uallv the great Silver Bow region of Montana. This paper bas never fully realized the magnitude of the copper resources of the county and their possibilities until its editor took receu. trips into the mining districts south and east of Prescott. There the greatest activity prevails and the life of that activity centers in copper. Everywhere where leg itimste mining IS being prosecuted there springs up evidence of copper wealth. The smelter of the Arizona Eastern and Montana IS loaded down with copper ore. The Sterling mine Is turning out some of the richest mineral ever seen in Arizona. The Easy Boss mine on Copper noun tain is making a handsome product of Sl00 ore with big product of gold and silver. The Gopher, the Henrietta, the Pride of Arizona, Stoddard's Copper Mountain, the Boston Girl and others too numer- ous to mention are swelling the county's product, SO that great things may be expected from our copper resources. The deeper tbe work the richer the ore.
 Among other properties visited recently visit was made to the Lone Pine mine, recently acquired by the CliiTords, and a study of the formation of that big shipper will be of interest to all who are develop lng. There great bodies of oxides are found at l5O feet, and at l60 feet the ore has turned into enormous bodies of black sulphIdes running S70 per ton in copper and 50 m gold and silver, and it is the same wherever depth is gained. All this country needs IS development and there IS ample evidence that while We will hold our gold our product will be augmented very largely by copper, and if there are any more mines opened of the character ot the Lone Pine with its present showing, the Jerome district, with its great Verde, will have to look to its laurels.

 The expected has happened. As indicated in Saturdays issue of the JorRNal-MlNER, Dreyfus has been convicted. He has been sentenced t0 ten years iu the penitentiary. The alleged crime of which he was convicted was selling secret inform atiou concerning the French army to Germany. The real ofense of the condemned man was that he IS 8 Jew. While the court which tried him. manifested such a prejudice against the accused that its mem bers refused Co permit his counsel to introduce evidence which would es- tablish his innocence, enough was brought out Co demonstrate that one oI the f1u,est conspiracjes was formed In the French army to blacken a fellow soldiers character that was ever concocted by a human mind-s conspiracy worthy the ef- fort of a feud.
 While Germany has not named the real culprit ID this case, she has officially declared that Dreyfus was not the man. Those high in author ity in the French army knew this be- fore Germany declared the rnno- cence of Dreyfus, but it availed nothing, as the Jewish officer was al ready doomed on account of hIs re- ligious faith.
 Twice has the farce of Pretended trial been gone through with and both times the result has been the same Today, France, with her boasted love of liberty and justice, stands before the civilized nations of the world, as having perPetrsted .ou one Of her citizens and soldiers an outrage which finds DO parallel iu tbe annals of history.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, sLssl \.

Miss Hall opened the afternoon session with a paper on United States History" Miss Hall took up the matter Of studying the philoso- phy of history. The history of the growth of humanity, or of part of humanity, is a history of its institu- tions. She set forth that the chief end to be attained in the study of history IS that We may make better citizens. She called attention tO the importance of the biographies of such men as Franklin, Lincoln, and Grant, and said that the recorded history of any nation IS a tragedy. The subject was continued by Misses Opkdyke and Gage, on the absence ol proper aids to the study in our schools; and by Prof. Matthews and Supt. Cox, on the preparation of young children for the use of the text books. Miss Heizer spoke of the fresh interest taken in matters of history when read from a period ical instead of text book.
 The discussion closed, Supt. Cox called for reports of committees.
 MT. Cunningham, chairman of the committee on course of study, re- ported. This course of study, as reported, IS au excellent one. Previous to this there has been no course of study followed in the country schools by which our coun try teacher could prepare the pupils in all branches for the city schools. The want of such a course of study has long been felt by the teachers, and the members of the committee deserve much credit for the work they have done. tThis course of study will probably be published for the teachers of the county by Supt. Cox.

THE STRIKE IN THE LONE PINE.

Another Object Lession of Fortunes
 Freaks.
 The recent striking of sulphurets in massive bodies by the Clidords in the Lone Pine mine, two days alter they had obtained possession of the property from George Roh- peter is another object lesson of the manner in which fortune often acts in mining life.
 Mir. Rohpeter discovered the Lone Pine in 1882, and shortly afterwards prospectors traced the Rohpeter croppings south, and the Boggs was located, from which nearly a half million dollars was extracted before the great fall in copper some years ago. Try as he would Rohpeter could uot strike into pay ore, though several shafts were sunk on fairly good ore. Several times be was in danger of losing the property but with the true spirit of the western prospector RohPeter would work for wages and then go back to his old love. Finally two years ago at the depth of loo feet be struck into large body of oxides and he com menced 10 ship ore to the large smelters of Colorado. Many thous ands of dollars were extracted from the oxide bodies but nothing that could be called regular was en- couutered. James $. Douglass sank short wiuze beloS the 100-foot cross-cut and opened up some fine gray copper, but it was left tO 6 stranger 10 open up the present sul- phuret bodies that has changed many opinions as regards the char acter of the mines in the center of Yavapai county. No pTospector may now be discouraged If his OK ides extend deep, for here in the Lone Pine the oxides were cut of without notice or indications, and in one foot the entire mineral changed from oxides to a deep rich black sul- phuret with heavy percentage of yellow sulphides.
 When Mrs. Clifford settled terms fer the mine and took possession Henry B. Clifford advised her to cross-cut at the bottom of the mum Der three shaft with the result that in two feet the largest body of sul- phides yet found south of the United Verde was exposed and the entire force of the mine has not been able to keep the drifts and shafts clear of the ore that twelve men knock out of the openings, which are as yet limited. This discovery which in a day changed the fortunes of mine will have a stimulating effect upon inning in this vicinity for there are many prospects that show surface indications simIla. 70 the Lone Pine.
