Thankless Porto Ricans.

It is indeed sad to read the reports from Porto Rico and to note the thank less character of the people of that island. Because under the new Ameri- can tariff they find themselves in a state of business depression which im- poverishes the many and enriches the few, there is great, widespread feel. ing of bitter dissatisfaction through out Porto Rico. Rents have gone up, food has gone up, about all the neces- saries of life have advanced in price, and yet the people of Porto Rico grum- ble. They keep harping on the promise of Gen. Miles, that they should be gov erned under the Constitution and with the liberties enjoyed by the American people, and they point with strange indignation to the fact that they are subjected to impositions and taxes that were never before levied upon territory of the United States. They have the American flag over them, but instead of being thankful for that, they insist that it should be allowed to mean to them just what it means to the people of Arizona or Oklahoma, a preposterous demaud indeed!- Boston Advertiser rep,

ACTIVITY IN MINING.
As Shown by Figures from the
 Surveyor Generals Office.

Atno time within the history of Ari. zona has there been as great activity in mining circles as during the last year and at present, says the Star. In this connection the surveyor general $ office furnished some interesting tig- ures, which show plainer than any amount of writing just what Arizona is doing in the mineral way.
 The year in the surveyor general's s office ended July l, md up to that time Sll ,335 had oovA deposited to cover the costs Uf surveying mining claims and doing the necessary office work incident to application for a patent. This was more than the aggregate for any three previous years combined. The year preceding S3,945 was deposited, making balance in favor of last year of $500.
 Probably the most striking showing, however, is in the number of surveys for patents made last year, numbering 40S, large and significant increase over the year previous when only l66 surveys were made.
 The surveyor generals office also used up last year the entire apprOpri- atiOn of S10,000 for surveying pur- poses, which shows great activity.
 The work this year is being pushed and there is no let up in the constant number of applications for surveys. Eight engineers are at work survey ing the forest reservation on the Grand Canyon. There are 40 town ships to be surveyed and the Santa Fe Pact tic has deposited S44, ,000 for the field and office work.
 Arizona has constantly been taking higher place in the column of wealth producers out if the present rate of increase in mines opened and mineral wealth developed of all kinds is kept up 1t is only question of time when she goes to the head of the list.
