REPUBLIC,

The machinery for the Chico mine
has arrived.
Work on the Blackbird group will
resume in March.
Work has been temporarily suspend.
ed on the Mud Lake.
The liveliest spot in the district at
this time is the Republic Reduction
Company grounds.
The compressor plant on the Prin-
cess Maud is running in fine shape, and
Is model of its kind.
The mill of the Republic Reduction
Company is now under roof and nearly
ready for the machinery.
The face of the lower crosscut in the
Quilp is showing up fine ore, and the
values are said to be about the same
as heretofore reported.
j. L. Harper was in from Belcher
camp and reported everything running
satisfactorily in that promising divis-
ion of the Eureka district.
At the San Poll, Blacktail and Ben
Hur work is progressing as usual, and
there is no material change to report
in regard to the width or values of the
ore bodies.
The Butte & Boston's new vertical
shaft has touched bedrock and from
this time on will go down in solid
country rock until it strikes the Butte
& Boston vein.
The Hercules shaft is 40 feet in
depth. The ledge is wider than the
shaft. Some remarkably fine looking
ore is coming out, and it is said to be
of good grade.
superintendent Mckenzie states that
good progress is being made on the
Gopher shaft. The machinery is work
ing perfectly and the ground is stead
lily growing firmer.
Everything is going on finely at the
Tom Thumb. The ore is as rich as ever
and the ledge is holding to about nine
feet in width. The new shaft is being
put down rapidly.
Superintendent George L. Hedges of
the Clackamas group in Wauconda dis
trict, IL miles west of Republic, state
that the ledge had been penetrated by
the tunnel for 10 feet.
The Monarch Group Gold Mining
Company, operating in Summit camp.
has a promising property on a contact
vein on the western edge of the Sum-
NIT belt On one of their claims, the
Nonpareil, are several openings.
The Wauconda tunnel is in "a feet.
The crosscut that has been driven to-
ward the footwall for some weeks has
at last reached the wall. The distance
from the tunnel to the wall was rs feet.
AS the tunnel is five feet in width, the
ledge so far exposed is 80 feet in width.
The outlook for the Bodie camp is
as development work is car
ried along. The average values OBJ
tanned from the several veins of the
camp are low, but many samples have
been taken Of such high values as to
credit the belief that there are rich pay
shoots to be discovered. The quartz is
of lively appearance and
he lodges are strong and we'll defined.

Drifting on veins cut by the Palmer
Mountain tunnel is going forward with
extremely satisfactory results. 1t must
be kept in mind that when drifting is
referred to in the tunnel, it does moi
mean simply upon one vein, but that
In running this tunnel $500 feet, its
present length, II veins have been
crossed, and with two exceptions. drifts
were started. These veins have not
disappointed the management, as the
company is today taking equally as
goood ore from them as where they
were cut and in general the quality
and quantity has increased, while in
particular they have never had as high
values as are now coming from the
big twelfth vein both In the face of
the drift and in the raise.
1t is sufficient to say of the values
that for the past month they have not
had an assay below $64.49 in gold,
while If there were any good purposes
served in giving out sensational values
they can be furnished, running all the
way from 800 to $3.50 in gold.
But the most significant fact CON.

However, with allsthese showings Of

both for the company and the public
to always keep Ia mind an average

The Courier says: "Tllere is some ground for clemency in the case of juvenile law breakers, according, of course, to cir cumstances. But for the man who has grown grey with accommodating years and is still a thief, purjurer or any other sort of a perpetual violate, of the law, there is no ground for clement y, and if he canr ot be legally hanged, he should at least be kept locked up the balance of his natural lIte, in order that people may be protected from his dep relations.

TIE people of Arizona, regardless of
 party, says the Gazette, would like to
 know what the board of control is do- ing. This board manages tae entire
 business of the territory and its doings are shrouded in mystery and surrounded by secrecy. Why is this? Why don't the board or the governor, who is the head of this board, order the doings published?N The Gazette doesn't say this with aview of publishing such pro. ceedings, but, in common with the peo- pie of Arizona, we would like to read what the board of control is dolLg. There is no means of knowing what the prison, or asylum, or various institu- tions are doing, and as this is a vital question to the people of the territory light should be let in on the doings of this managing board. Governors, Mo Cord. Hughes and Franklin all ordered the proceedings of the board published, and 1t gave entire satisfaction to the public. Bu. the secrecy now main tained by this board under Governor Murphy is suggestive of something be- side the public good.

COPPER IS THE METAL.
The Cochise Copper Mining Company
 Bisbee, Arizona.

This company owns very valuable group of mines situated in Warren mining district, county of Cochise, Arizona lying immediately east of and adjoining the town of Bisbee, and ad- joining the property of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company on the north. The latter company has been in operation tor about twensy years, and employs about 1,500 men daily in the operation of its mammoth mine and smelters, and as a result has produced copper to over 34,000,00 pounds during tEe year 1898, and the net proceeds ot such production are geDurteQ tU have been over $2,000,O00, and IL has been said by experienced nsiuera who have been under its em' ..Ity for years, that the Queen min now mas suil4cient ore in sight to keep it in constant operation for the next twenty years without further de- Velopment.T
 Is it not reasonable to believe that the property of the Cochise company is fully as valuable,> when it is within such close proximity to such a won derful mine?
 The blasts set off in the underground workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and heard at the shaft of our mine, and oftimes the concussion has attracted marked attention.
 The original owners of these valu- able mines are local business men, we'll and favorably known in Bisbee and surrounding vicinity, who are doing their utmost to make this enterpl SC a success in every respect. The board 0. directors are original owners, and are donating their services to the con- pany until such time, as the mine will pay dividends. They own the con- trolling interest in this property, and as protection to stockholders have placed their entire interest in escrow for term of one year.
 The stock books of our company are now open for subscriptions, and lim- tied number of shares are offered at twenty five C. per snare No appilratlon for less than 100 shares will be ac- cepted.
 The company reserve the right at any time to advance the price of shares without further notice, or to reject any application for stock at their discre- tion
 Every cent received from the sale of stock will be expended toward the de- velopment ot our property and the erection of hoisting works, and all other necessary improvements, and to make our enterprise success in every particular.
 We invite investigators and their experts or their engineers to closely scrutinize our property.
 Applications for shares may be made to any of the directors of the com- pany, or to any of our legally author ized representatives

ARIZONA STATEHOOD.

WE are pleased to see that the people
 of our territorial neighbor are movins ] towaro having their terrltor, admitted
 as state. The people of Californil and particularly in the southern part will hold out both hands in welcom ng
 Arizona into the sistorhood of sovel eign states.
 There is no good reason for withhold Ing that boon from her. She has been territorial. tulelage for nearly forty years. Her population is intelligent, sturdy and efficient in numbers, and shere is in tie territory ample wealth to support state government without burdensome taxation. Generally these have been regarded as the only facts to be considered in awarding statehood. Arizona possesses remarkable natural resources; they are being energetically developed and her population is rapidly increasing.
 It has sometimes been supposed that the population should be equal to the number required for representative in Congress. There never has been any fixed rule. A great majority of the states have been admitted when the population was less than that number. Michigan had less than 10000. Other cases might be mentioned where the population was very small. The con- trolling idea has been to admit the ter ritories as soon as practicable, in the belief that people progress most rapidly when unshackled and remitted to the control of their own destiny. Experi ence has demonstrated the correctness of that theory. s@ s < Arizona has all the elements for mak- ing great state and is reprehensib,e in the highest degree to keep her in a condition where her people cannot man. age their own affairs and promote their growth in tbeirown way,--L A. Herald.

|. THE Arizona Graphic in it's last issue contains an illustrated article on Bispee ana it's surroundings. In the main the article is correct, but there is one or two statements that are wrong and mislead. ing, as the following paragraph will illustrate:
 "The town practically has no local governmeht--no mayor or councilmen, or police; no community organization. It has but one church, Catholic, and one newspaper, daily. It has as many gambling honses, liquor saloons and hotels as it needs and probably more. It has public school with $50 pupils and large well equipt public library,
 which is crowded nightly with working men. It has no Chinamen, no Indians, and no Salvation Army"
 While it is true that the town is not incorporated and we are without coun-- cilmen, mayor and uniformed police, we have government that will show meet favorably with that of Phoenix, Tucson or Prescott, with two constables, four deputy sherffs and a justice of the peace; all as eager to make a dollar as a Phoenix man is to grab the eastern sucker. There are. three churches. Catholic, Methodist and Uuion, services being held in each every Sunday, while once month Episcopal services are held in the lodge hall over the library Bisbee has not for it's size as many gam bling houses and liquor saloons as other smaller mining camps Tn the ter ritory, and not as many in proportion as the capitol city.
