The Unparalleled Century.

One hundred years ago; what a re- markable story the panorama of the closing century reveals! In 1900 our country was plucky hedgling, heal thy. vigorous, ardent in hope, high in resolve. Our total population was less than 5,500,000. Germany and Britain each had four times our num- Der, Spain twice as many and even lit tie Portugal had as many. West of the Mississippi all was wilderness. We had 13 little states and few cities of prominence except Philadelphia, New York, Bal timOre, Boston and Charles ton. The entire revenue of the United States government was only S4 ,500,000 while it now costs annually S9S, 100, ,4l3 to defray the expenses of the Greater New York. Washington was then new settlement, with only a few thousand population, and had been only lately made the capital. The total wealth of the country was roundly estimated at s200, ,000 900 or a little less than $40 per capita.-Suc- rpsS

Wonders of the Cocopah Country

Several weeks ago mention was made of party sent out on an eXpe- diJIOn of scienti tc research in the in terest of the Smithsonian Institute, says the Yuma Sentinel. Last Friday the party returned, the expedition being under the direction of Prof. McGee, and remained over night in Yuma Prof. McGee says the Coco pah country, which the party have just been Investigating, has been explored but little, and it is but slightly known to the scientific world. He says it IS wonderful country-a rich field for the scientific man and explorer and paradise for the hunter Game is remarkably abundant; the streams fairly swarm with wild ducks and geese and several ducks were killed by the party with rocks. Deer are also plentiful and quite tame on account of not having been hunted. The professor was aStounded at the vast nun 0erS or Wll0 nOgS to De seen. The party killed one boar weighing over 100 pounds, and could have killed hundreds if they so desired. Prof. McGee says 1t is the best country for the sportsman ne ever was in. He in. tends W hen he reaches Washington to make request that he be returned for further investigation of the Cocopah country and it's primitive wonders as he is very much in love with it.
 The party left on Saturday for Phoenix, where they will disband and Prof. McGee will then re turn to Washington.

Cobre Grande Settlement.

The agreement for the settlement of the Cobre Grande litigation, which The Republican announced yesterday morning had been reached, was fOrm- ulated late in the afternoon and signed. The Republican has already stated that the Cobre Grande mine and other properties in dispute are to remain in the possession of the so- called Greene faction. The exact terms of the rest of the settlement have not been made public, except the fact that the Greene people will take up the Cobre Grande stock at par or nearly at par, which is s2.50. The number of shares included in this agreement is said to be l12, 2,000 There are still other shares on the outside not figured upon in the agreement, but they will no doubt be taken up at the same figure.
 These shares were sold at prices ranging from ten cents to 8. A great many are held in Phoenix and most of them were purchased at about par.
 It is said that the Greene people fur ther agree to pay the costs of the ti- gation which has been going on for two years, and it is further understood that the Shirley interests in the mat ter are to be satisfied and, in fact, that everything is to be wiped of the slate.
 The arrangement is said to be sat isfactory to all parties, or to be at least much more satisfactory than a continuation of the law suits would be. The settlement was largely effected through the offices of President E. B. Gage of the C0bre Grande and the representative of all interests adverse to the Greene interests. Phoenix Republican.

The copper mines of the Santa Rita district, about fourteen miles east of Silver City in Grant county, N. M., have an interesting history which commences long before the day of the American prospector. According to accounts found in the archives of the City of Mexico, the mines were abandoned by the Spaniards in l7S0, having been operated by them for many years previous to that date, as is shown by the dumps at the old workings. History relates that two Spanish lieutenants, Romero and Charasco, with number of Mexican peons and few soldiers held the mines against the Apache Indians and worked them in spite of the hostility of the Indians. The mines are now being developed by Boston capitalists in systematic manner. Three shafts are being sunk by the company and drifts to connect them are being run. About forty leasers are sinking shafts on the territory thrown open to them and some of them are working large forces. All of the leasers have agreed to sell their ore for one dollar unit to the company winch takes it on the dump.
