WAR SCARE ALL OVER.
The Threatened Trouble Beteween Tonto Basin Cattle Men and Sheep Men AmicabIY
 SaffIad

J. D. Houck, the well known sheep man aud ex-legislator, came up from Phenix this morning. MT. Houck has just returned from a trip to Tonto basin, where it was reported trouble was threatened between the sheep men and cattle men. In speaking of this affair to the JOUR NAL MINER editor MT. Houck stated that the affair had been greatly ex- argerated. He stated that it was true that cattle men had turned his sheep back and had driven them a couple of miles, but that it was done in manner that they were not scattered and no serious damage was done.
 On his arrival in the basin he had an interview with the cattle men and told them he had no desire for trouble, all he wanted was the privilege of driving his sheep through that section and if they would fix the route he would adhere to 1t. This they agreed to do aud the whole question will be settled amlcably.
 All this talk about both sides be- ing ready and anxious for a war" he said, Sis all mistake. Neither side was looking for or wanting any trouble as it could only end one way and the winner in resort to arms would be the loser ln the end"
 MT. Houck reports tbe grazing fairly good in that section. He says he has excellent grass and plenty of water on his mountain range in Navajo county. The crop of lambs this year was greater than the number of his sheep and he says he expects to raise from ninety to ninety-6ve per cent of them. He sxpects to return to Phe- nix again in day or two and will leave there early in April for his summer range in Navajo county.

pert miners, who have seen the prop
 erty, pronounce the Baumann group
 the best and biggest "ihiug" in the
 country, while such authorities as
 Professor H. Van F. Furman of Den
 yer, and Arthur w. Warwick, mem
 Der of the American Institute of
 Mining Engineers. endorse and re- commend the property. The ore re- ferred to above all came from three claims of the gronp. namely the
 Laura, Swiss Girl and Alice mines, and none of it from greater depth than fifty feet. The veins are very large and well defined, the geologl cal formation and ;he character of the different ores very similar to those of the United Verde mines at Jerome. MT. Baumann reports having discovered an unusual freak of natur, in hls Arizona claim, ly- ing farthest south in the group. Two well defined veins of entirely different ores butt together in the center of the shaft, the line of con tact being on bevel and a clean cut of. One of these veins, g inches wide, contains beautiful gold quartz, assaying BPS in god, while the other and smaller vein, eight inches in thickness, shows up very rich copper ore, which assays Sl0.S0 in gold and twenty one and seven-tenths per cent in copper. Both ores contain silver in small percentage. The foot wall country rock throughout the shaft is copper stained in high degree. This is shaft of only ten feet in depth, at the northern extremity of the out croppings appearing on the surface for several hundred feet along the vein. The highest assay ever ob- tained from croppings was SIP in gold per ton. Altogether the Bau- mann group is pronounced very good and safe proposition, and is certainly most favorably situated for operation.

Johannesburg Threatened.

New York, March 15.-Montague White, the Boer agent, in a state ment published this morning says the Boers will blow up Johannes burg if necessary to protect Pretoria. White says: With regard to the fate of Johannesburg. personally l hope it may be spared because 1 have considerable property at stake in that city, but 1 cannot see low, for stategic reasons, it can be left as a base from which the English can operate against Pretoria. 1t cer- tainIy seems that the Boers must de stroy that beautiful city, these buildings would afford a covering for vast amount of supplies that could be stored there in close prox- unity to Pretoria. thirty-fve miles away, it's water supply and hund- red other things would make it most invaluable to an invading force bent npon taking Pretoria. To leave the city unharmed would be like pro- viding drawing room accommoda-
 tions for her majesty's soldiers"

Will Coin Silver.

MT. Roberts, the director of the mint. announces his intention of speedily taking steps to increase the stoc of subsidiary coin under the new financial act. As quickly as possible at least $20,000,000 will be coined and put on the market to meet the demand for small money. Speaking of the matter Mir. Roberts sad:
 "The new monetary act, approved March 14, authorizes an increase Of about Sl0,Ct0,CC0 in the stock of subsidiary siver coin. The last au thority for the issue of subsidiary silver was gwen by joint resolution approved July P. 1876, in prepara ton for the resumption of specie payments. It authorized the issue of an amount which. together with the fractional paper currency out standing, should at no time exceed over S5O,000,GC0.
 July g, 1879, the act providing for the redemption of subsidiary sil- yer in lawful money was passed. and forthwith our old quarters, dimes and halves, which had been driven to the West Indies and South America by our paper money, began to return. They were presented for redemption until the treasury held over S30000,0C0 of them. In this way the S50,CC0,C-0 limit was ex- ceeded, for the treasury officials paid this stock out in ;he regular course of business until it was practically all absorbed. The present stock in the country thus reached about ESQ., COO,OC0. Under the new law it may be S1O0,OC0,GC0, and bullion pur- chased under the Sherman act may be coined. The new authority was sorely needed and will scarcely sui fee for the growing needs of tho country more than five or six years,

The Porto Rican Bill.

The Indianapolis Sentinel says; cone of the most prominent repub- lieans in Indiana, who has returned from Washington and who is known to be very close to the Mckinley ad- ministration, is authority for the statement that a defense of the Puerto Rican tariff bill is being pre- pared that will show the politicians that the enactment of the bill, in- stead of being a blunder was the shrewdest campaign move of the age. He says this defense is in the hands of Senator Frye, who will spring it in the senate in due sea son.
 "It will be shown, he says, that the sugar and tobacco trusts were opposing the bill with might and main, and that their demand was for free trade with all the colonies It will be further shown, he says that it was the intention of the trusts to squat in the colonies ano flood America with their cheap pro ducts, which would have the effect to drive countless thousands of la boring men out of house and home Even the approximate reduction 1T wages of American laboring men ii being figured for campaign pur poses, he says"

France Preparing for War.

London, March I5.-A private dis patch from a reliable source in Paris says that NJ. Decrais, the French minister of the colonies, yesterday cabled to the governor of every French colony inquiring the number of colonial soldiers available for i'm mediate service. The request is al most identical with that made by Colonial Secretary Chamberlain of the British colonial governors. This move on the part of France is taken as another indication that she is moving step by step with England in military preparations. The French colonial minister's action is bound to cause a sensation in the British war office.

Colonel Plumer was at Pitsanie on March 12 and was thus within twenty-five miles of the town.
