 Every dollar of the proceeds from the sale Of shares of stock and from the sale of the company's town lots and blocks, which we estimate will be a large sum, will be invested in sink ing shafts, development work, the cree. tlon of hoisting works and nodorn smelters, and all necessary improve ments, to make this enterprise success full in every way. We can deliver our coke supplies directly from the rail- road cars to the smelters; and can also deliver our bullion directly to the cars. We have no salaried officers hence every dollar will be used for de- veaoping the property of this company. Tho books of the company will be open for inspection at all times, and at the annual meeting of the company, full and exhaustive reports VIII be sub. mitted to the stockholders, fer their approval.
 This corporation is composed of prac- tical business men. Upon request of interested parties, we will, with pleas ure, submit evidence to show that our claims are modest, in view of the re- markablc indications and possibilities of this property.

The Lowell and Arlzona.

The Lowell and Arizona Go. arc pro- gressing rapidly with their work. The new camp has been achristened Mount Auburn. The buildings are now about completed, the finishing touches being put on by Bisbee artist in the person of Mir. Joe Beebe. The colors of all the buildings are wl:ite and red, which makes nice finish.
 The shaft, which is double cempart- ment, is now down about 50 feet and work is being prosecuted day and night with three eight hour shifts, Mr. Mar. tin Nolan, the efficient tim Dberman from the Copper Queen, having charge un- dcrground. The general management of getting the affairs of the Lowell and Arizona company under headway has been under the supervision of Mir. F. c. Fenner, and it is surprise to all how quickly the affair has been placed upon a working basis. Wagon roads have been built, five buildings erected, car leads of timbers on the ground, board ing and bunk houses started, and, in fact, everything done to make this new camp one of the most complete in this section of the country.
 The Lowell and Arizona company have evidently come here to stay, and as their prospects of getting enormous ore bodies are the best, we are satisfied that . year will see tlourishig town started; the A. &. s. E. railroad run. ming about mile through their prop erty, and the ground being level and very desirable for building sites. That their success is assured is foregone conclusion by all Bisbceites.

Philadelphia. Pa, April 1O.-Ex-
United States Senator Matthew S.
Quay and his son. Richard II. QUAY.
were called to the bar of The Court of
Quarter Session to-day. and after many
months Of vexatious delay. the trial Of
the two defendants was begun.
Judge Craig Biddle. one of the oldest
bench, was the trial judge. District At
torney Rothermel. alter TWO hours had
been spent in selecting a jury, elected
to try the ex-senator first on that one
of the five indictments Gin which he and
his son are variously named), winch
charges Mr.. Quay and the late State
Treasurer Benjamin j. Hayw God with
conspiracy in using the State funds Tor
their personal benefit and profit and in
a manner unauthorized by law.
This action practically leaves the OK
Senator alone on trial.
The only witness examined to-day,
Mr.. Barlow. receiver of the Peoples
Bank, led to the first clash between
counsel. and apparently indicated that
a determined legal battle. rcplete with
knotty points of law, will be fought
The District Attorney called Mr.. Bar
low TO Identify books and papers found
by him when he assumed the receiver
ship. Mr.. Shapley. of counsel for the de-
Tense undertook to examine the
witness with respect to his knowledge
OF whether certain books, which the de-

ton for this behavior of Admiral
kautz in contravention Of the treaty.,
Referring to the statement that the
State Department at Washington re-
CARDS the enthronement of Tanus as
fully in accordance with the treaty,
which provides that the decision of the
Chief Justice shall be final, the Nation
al Zeitung says:
This view is altogether opposed to
the provisions of the treaty, according
to which the unanmity of the repre-
sentatives of the powers is essential.
SAMOAN COMMISSIONER NAMED.
Washington. April 1O.-The Presiden,
has selected Bartlett Trip. of South
Dakota, formerly Minister to Austria,
as the United States representative on
the Samoan joint commission.
Mr.. Trip is at present in Yankton
S. d. The officials of the State De-
partment say that he is as we'll fitted
for the mission as any person who
could have been named outside OF the
State Department proper. Mr.. Tripp
Will be called to Washington immedl-
ately to receive his instructions. for
our government is disposed to assent to
the desire OF the German government
that the commission shall proceed TO
the scene of activity at the earliest pos
sible moment.
The commissioners will not go to Sa-
moa equipped with identical ;nstruc-
tons. This is a matter of regret here,
but it is felt to be inevitable If the par
ties to the pending negotiations persist
in the present attitude. In such cases
the proceedings OF the commission will
be all ad referendum; the body hav-
ing little power itself, but all OF its
acts being subject to the approval of
the principals. The German PROPOSE
ton is to authorize tine commissioners
to deal with the situation as they find
1t. but under the limitation that they
must be unanimous in ordering action.
A DEADLOCK LOOKED FOR.
Apia, the commissioners will instantly
take positions in support of their re-
spective conSulS, and thus lead to a
deadlock.
The State Department has been noti-
fled that the German Government
raises the question of legality of all
that has been done at Apia since the
middle of March. This is an intimation
that 1t wishes to restore the status at
that date. when, according to the State
Departments reports, the provisional
government erected through the efforts
OF the German officials, Rose and RAT
Eel. controlled everything. This state
of affairs Admiral kautz considered to
be In absolute violation of The Berlin
treaty. If there is any attempt to re-
vert TO the preceding conditions. ths
United States Government will insist
that it be to n period anterior to this
date. and that the only status to he
recognized be that existing ut the be-
ginning of February, ut the momer t
when Chief Justice Chambers, in the
exercise. it is asserted, of his function
under the treaty of passing upon all
questions as to the succession to the
throne Of Samoa, declared Mataafa in
eligible and Malcton Tanus to be king.

Tho United States copy of the peace

great seal of the United States upon

GREAT REINFORCEMENTS MEG
ESSARY.
1t is generally considered that great
reinforcements are necessary, there
not being sufficient number of Amer
| lean troops in the archipelago to make
conquest of the island of Luzon and
hold the posts occupied. and 1t is
thought that it would be cheaper in the
Icing run and have n better effect upon
the natives to establish American SUI
premacy effectually and quickly than
to temporize with a score of rebeliions.
All the stories told by prisoners and
friendly natives agree that a majority
or the insurgents would be glad to quit.
but that there are enough profession
al revolutionists left to infest the coun-
- with OohdS Va OIL IIleI ana
to demoralize business for years to
come. Some high Americans believe
that the government would wisely eN-
pend money in buying off Aguinaldo
and his clique of influential Filipinos.
AMERICANS TOO OPTIMISTIC.
Foreigners in Manila think the Amer
leans are too optimistic as to the effects
of the proclamation. They say that
the weakness of the proclamation lies
IN the fact that the natives have SO
long dealt with the Spaniards that they
are unable to realize what its words
mean and that the purport of it's prom
ises is anything but snare.

SPANISH DEFENSE OF MANILA
The Spanish system of defending
Manila by line of blockhouses may be
adopted by the American authorities
here during the wet season, as it re.
quires fewer men than the trenches de-
