GAME IN GIPPSLAND.
There Are Many Queer Birds and
Beasts in the WiIds of
Australia.

The kangaroo, wallaroo and walla-
by are to be found in every district.
Bears are in all cool regions. The wild
boar is common on the Murray, and
on most of the other large rivers of
New South Wales. Deer are plen-
tiful in South Gippsland. in Birre-
gurra and Cooks river. The opos-
sum is as ubiquitous as he is funny,
and the dingo. pure or mongrel. which
is found IN the confines of all settled
districts. will repay the hunter for
any pains endured while chasing him.
In the steppe country of South and
West Australia wild horses afford
some fast work to the sportsman who
drives them into snares. while the
s~low-coach can take his fill of pleas

ing-hole for his big game to come in.
Buffalo are now to be met with in
large numbers in West Australia.
Wombats give excellent night sport;

dymelons, kangaroo rats. bandicoots,

The Kernel.

The difference in our estimate OF
people end things depends IN how we
take them. If we ca. the whole nut,
we find a good deal that is coarse and
innutritious; but if W. have the habit
of picking out the kernel we general

knows enough for that. Persons of

Mining Intelligence.

It has just leaked out that a very rich strike has been made recently in the Cash mine, near the head of the Hassayampa, at the 200 foot level. The parties who recently purchased this property are a sort of close cor poration and are close mOuthed as well, as they are working energetically in the development of the property and find very little time to do any blowing about it. The deepest work ings on the claim when they pur- chased it was shaft thirty feet deep. They have sunk to a depth of 200 feet besides doing other work. The news of the recent strike comes from an au- thoritative source, and it is very en- couraging to the owners of the mine. Some of the ore goes way up in the thousands of dollars to the ton, the exact figures of which they do not care to state.
 Ed. Peck and Joe Askew have located some claims about fourteen miles from Prescott and a few miles from Cherry station, on the P. x E. which are very encouraging from sur face indications. The claims are cop per, the ore assaying 12 per cent in this metal and the ledge, they claim is 100 feet wide. Mir. Peck is the dis coverer and locator of the famous Peck mine, in the Bradshaw noun tains which produced an enormous quantity of silver. Not only the mine but the district in which it is located were named after him. He realized a small fortune from the above property but like hundreds of other miners and prospectors put it back in the ground again hunting for others. Every one will wish that this new find of his may turn out even better than his most sanguine expec- tation could hope for.

The Gold Belt Railway.

The Journal Miner is in receipt from H. B. Clifford of a neat little prospectus of the Gold Belt railway, of Arizona. The railroad as proposed is to connect with the F. X E. railroad and extend out into the mining camps. This prospectus contains a very complimentary notice of Yava- pal county as follows:
 Ut may be stated by way of pre- face that Yavapai county covers an area of 5000 square miles. Some fer tile valleys are centered between the mountain ranges but on the whole it Is rough and rugged mountainous region. The climate is temperate with no extreme of heat or cold, mak- ing it possible to engage in mining operation throughout the year with out loss of time by reason of incle- ment weather-an item in the expense account of an ore road of no small importance-while its developments may be considered little more than in its infancy the mineral value of Yavapai county has advanced very considerably and it is estimated that with the present discovered mines the establishment of this railway system and the erection of great concentrat- ing and milling works now projected, that this county bids fair to outrank any like area in the world as a mine ral producer"

NEWS LETTER FROM WILLIAMS.
A Special Correspondent Tells of Drouth Politics ond Other Items of Pub
 lie Interest.

Williams, Ariz., Oct. S.-(Special correspondence) The drouth through out the mountains is assuming a more serious aspect every day. The citi- zens oft this place are dependent al most wholly on the railroad company for water and it is being hauled from Winslow. It sells for eighty-fve cents per barrell. In consequence of the scarcity and high price of water the barber shops today advanced the price of baths to seventy-five cents. Sheep are suffering for want of feed and water both on account of com bined dry weather and they are being shipped in large numbers from the territory. Report comes from Wins low of a shipment of 5000 head by one firm. Flagstaff's water supply, which was thought to be inexhausta ble has also failed. The town was compelled some time since to discon- tinue its supply to the railroad and commencing today the railroad com pany is hauling water to supply the citizens of the town.
 Sheepmen have for some time been getting water hauled for their hOcks by the railroad company.
 Politics are warming up in Coco nino and the prospect Is good for the success of the republican ticket. The democrats of Flagstaff declined to listen to Col. Wilson last week and they claim they will turn Mark Smith down also. Governor Murphy will receive a good majority in the county.
 Col. Wilson passed through here on Sunday en route to Kingman, Mark Smith having preceded him to Mo have county, speaking at Chloride last night.
 k. R. Coleman has resigned as agent of the receiver of the Grand Canyon railroad and E. H. Hubbell, division superintendent of the Santa Fe Pacific has been appointed to the position. The Santa Fe company will commence this week to complete the unfinished portion of the road fifteen miles. The Santa Fe is opera ting the road running one train each way daily.
 W. o. Owen, United States exami- ner of surveys, arrived here a few days since with a corps of five assis- tants and will leave this week to com mence an examination of the surveys of public lands which are now being made in the Grand Canyon forest reserve. Eight contractors are at work surveying, the contracts aggre- gating over 500,000 acres of land. The work of making these surveys will occupy four or five months yet.

MONDAYS DAILY

Howard Burmister and bride will arrive on tonight's train from Califor- mia.
 A reception will be given tomorrow evening at the Baptist church in hon. or of Rev. Geo. Taylor and wife. Mem bers of the congregation and friends are cordially invited to attend.
 Chas. Martin opened his new An heuser-Busch saloon and restaurant Saturday night and was given a great house warming by his many friends. this is the first place opened in the new block and Mir Martin is the first to get off the county reservation. The opening was supplemented by a splendid free lunch and music by the Prescott brass band and taken all to- gether was great success.
 J.H. Lee, one of the earliest of the Hassayamper fraternity, who about two years ago wandered thoughtlessly away and went to the Klondike coun- try, arrived last night and today has been busy telling his former friends and associates all about it. MT. Lee will remain this time, and says an Ari- zona sun without cent in it is a mint alongside of the Klondike riches with millions at the finger tips.
 Hugo Richards, the well known cap italist and miner who lately purchased the corner piece of property occupied before the fire by Joe Wilson and Jake Marks; started in today to clean away the debris preparatory to con structing handsome business block on the ground. It is his intention to make it two stories high with stores below and offices above, and from con templated plans it will be one of the handsomest and best constructed buildings in the city. Mir. Richards, as one of our most conservative busi- ness men, evidently has great faith in Prescott's future which he is showing by investing his surplus capital in permanent improvements.
 G. McC. Mckee, a Pittsburg capi- talist who has been paying a short visit to this section to look over some mining properties in which he is heav fly interested, left Saturday afternoon for his home. Mir. Mckee is an asso- ciate of Senator Mark Hanna in the Cambria steel works, and heavy stockholder in the Westing- house and other large manufacturing companies. He was very much pleased with Prescott and the sur rounding country and it is to be hoped he will pay us another visit this winter. MT. Mckee besides be- ing a man of large capital and girth is also an excellent story teller and good republican, both of which facts made him many friends while here.
 NJ. s. Taft, superintendent and one of the largest stockholders in the Ster- ling mine, Big Bug district, returned yesterday after a prolonged visit to Binghampton, New York. MT. Taft left here in May last suffering from an acute attack of the grippe which kept him on the sick list for several months. He has fully recovered now, however, and will take hold of his du- ties at the mine with renewed vigor. A party of stockholders are expected to arrive here in the near future from Youngstown, Ohio, to consult with NIT. Taft about the future policy of the company and it is understood that many improvements will be made and a large force of men put to work imme- diately. Mrs. Taft accompanied MT. Taft on the journey and they will re- main here indefinitely.

 Mrs. Williams, a recent arrival from the east, died very suddenly in South Prescott yesterday afternoon. She had been out walking with her husband and on their return she com plained of having a queer feeling and laid down on a bed, soon lapsing into unconsciousness and dying within two hours.
 NJ. H. Whitney, a capitalist of St. Louis, who came to Arizona to look over the situation both for himself and others, has decided that Yavapai county is the pick of the territory and will return home next week and prepare to make Prescott his future basis for operation. He has informed a number of others of conditions here and they will no doubt locate here.

THAT WHIPPLE APPROPRIATION.
The Correspondence CheerfuIIy Sup piled to Our Contemporary
 Concerning It.

The Journal Miner in its last issue informed the Courier where it might obtain the truth in regard to that ap propriation set aside for the rebuild ing of Whipple, if it wanted to get at the truth of the matter. It did not seem to accept the information in the same spirit it was rendered, but was rather inclined to criticize the langu age used in it and insinuates that Mir. Murphy should divulge his private correspondence on this subject. This the latter has very generously con sented to in order that our contem- porary may be fully informed on the matter, although it is evident that it is not earnestly seeking after the truth. The correspondence is self ex planatory and is as follows;

Some Practical suggestions Presented ~
tho Meeting of the Mississippi Press
A.sociatIon. by H.. T. Crosby, of

s,m. pr.ct,c., suggestions Presented 1t
tho Meeting of the Mississippi Press
Association, by II. T. Crosby, of
the Grecnville Times.
Mr.. President and Members OF the Press Asso-
clation OF Mississippi;
Though engaged in the newspaper
business in the State for the last three
years this is the first time l have had
the honor to be a member of your
grand body. the pleasure of meeting
you and appearing before the organiza-
| ton. l have felt for some time that 1t
was my duty to unite with my life-work
associates, not only as a means of bene'
fling myself, the individual member
ship, but with all to raise the press OF
Mississippi to the high plane of pure,
intelligent, successful and honest jour-
nalism it should occupy. To accomplish
this there is a work for every man in 1t
to perform, and not one should shirk
his work. The representative member
| ship present at the business meeting
yesterday represented only some sixty
papers, not one-half the number now
published. Why is that every paper in
the State is not represented at this
meeting? Answering my own ques-
ton, it is partly because some claim
they have not the money to spare, 9th
ers that business will not permit, but
the majority claim as their reason thai
the meetings of the association are got
ten up more for pleasure than for bust
ness. Such, no doubt, is true, and
take this, Business and Organization
as the two points around which my
thoughts will touch today.
Fellow-members, the time has come
when at the meetings of the association
we must devote more time to business
