day says;
Never within recent years have so many
operators in cotton ionged for the coming Of
the day of rest. II has indeed, been most
puzzling and anxious week. not because OF
the magnitude OF the fluctuations but on
areorni Of the more and more anomalous
condition in which tho market finds Itself

July August; January. i points higher than

fsFsonals and the public look on. with the
open -mouthsd wonder Of the pumpkin at

look one sees water running uphill. With the
Aviri 81 mll-race, Who is pumping.
That Is the question which Is continually
asked In vain. After All, Inc most important

peafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, ana that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inhamed you have running sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

A Good investment.

Every dollar expended by the Ma tional Government for the building of storage reservoirs and great irriga- tion works to reclaim the millions of acres of western aridity will return to the Federal treasury six to one in the form of increased taxes on increased land value and population. Every Congressman knows this, now that his attention is being called to the sub ject by eastern manufacturers, who want a larger market in the West for their goods, and all that is required for his favorable action is strong and aggressive demand from every western State and Territory and Con gressional district.
The Florence tribune., 1900-10-27

THE TRIBUNE takes little stock in the bond-boodling arguments used against Governor Murphy; it desires to encompass his defeat on entirely diff ferent grounds, namely, that he favors cession of arid lands to the territory, which would inevitably lead to their gobbliug up by the syndicates. Yavl- pal county pledged it's credit to the Arizona Central railroad, paid interest on it's bonds for seven years, and S27 ,000 of the principal, and now desires to repudiate the whole shooting match. The Supreme Court has decided that the deht is a legal one and the county is responsible for it. The TRIBUNE be- longs to that class which believes that corporations as well as individuals should be compelled to pay their debts if they will not do so voluntarily, and hence has little sympathy with Yava- pal county in it's efforts at repudiation. It does object strenuously, however, to Pinal county being forced to pay any portion of the debt of Yavapai, as is now heinz done. The TRIBUNE is as anxious as anyone that MT. Murphy should be defeated, and believes it can be done honestly aud above board, without resorting to chicanery or mis- representation. The discussion of tue case so far has put Yavapai county md its officials in a much worse light than it has Governor Murphy. Candor com pels us to admit this.

Pinal County Mines.
[Correspondence of the Silver Belt.l

Correspondence of the Silver Belt.l
 Troy is the more euphonious name for what was formerly called Skinner vile. It is si tuated 2S miles south west of Globe; the elevation is about the same as Globe, and the location is an ideal one for townsite. It is al- ready beginning to assume the pro- portions of town, and the numoer of white tents is pleasing sight to the eye.
 Through the courtesy of Mir. c. H. Cutting, the manager of the conn pauy, we visited the mines, and the showing iu the various workings is encourag- ing enough to predict bright and permanent future for Troy. Tom Kavanaugh, practical aud competent miner, is foreman, and work is being prosecuted in a systematic and busi- nesslike manner.
 The main shaft is to be sunk 800 feet and the vein will be crosscut, and from the location of the shaft this will demonstrate the extent of the various ore bodies. The entire mountain is one vast deposit of mineral and the ore is of excellent concentrating qual- ity, averaging 10 per cent copper, the biproducts being gold, silver and lead in sufficient quantity for reduction.
 Mir. Cutting is building a new road from Troy to Riverside which will take the place of the old county road. He has large amount of supplies coming from Phoenix, and while Globe is the logical base ofsupplies for Troy, the trade will be diverted from here unless some action is taken to keep the Globe end of the road in repair at present it is almost impossible.
 We also visited the Sutherland prop critics, which have an excellent show ing, and it is. only ques tion of time when capital will be interested to place these mines among the big pro- ducers of Pinal county.
 MT. Cutting will erect several sub stantial frame houses in the near fu- ture. At present he employs about 30 men and has about two years work mapped out.
 We also visited the Glissan and Law renee gold property, about mile from Dripping Springs. The ledge is lime contact, the gangue being iron. The character of the ore is iron which fairly bristles with gold; from eight pounds of choice ore two pounds of almost pure gold were extracted. Harry Temple is running dry washer working over the dump of this claim, and is making fair wages. The sur face soil of the entire claim is alive with gold, and from indications we have every reason to believe that the ledge will prove a continuation of rich pockets. In the opinion of great many this find is the solving of the mystery of the Host Soldier" mine, and beyond doubt it will prove to be one of the phenomenal mines of this section.
 Already quite ndmber of prospec- tors are out, and it would be difficult to predict the extent of mineral that will be developed in this district in the near future.

Mrs. A. Kinney has received samples of ore from recent important strike made on the St. Carl claim, one of the west end claims of the Bryan group, on the Gila river opposite Kelvin. The ore is high grade copper glance. The vein has been stripped a length of loo feet and 60 sacks of the ore shipped, and more will follow as fast as teams can be got to haul it. There is fine showing of ore in the old Bryan work ings, and this new strike greatly en- hances the value of property.-TGlo Silver Belt.
