PATAGONIA MINES.
Interesting Details From Growing
District.

At Patagonia few days ago I was
surprised at the activity shown in
mining in the adjoining districts of
Harshaw and Salero, writes Professor
w. P. Blake, of the Territorial Uni
versity, in the Tucson Citizen. Several
properties are now being worked on
their merits as actual producers, and
the pla tforms at the railway station
are crowded with sacks Of ore waiting
shipment to Ell Paso.
The principal shippers at the pres
ent are the Hardshell, both ore and
concentrates; the Mowry, Wilson
superintendent, has a concentrating
plant of four tables; the Pride of the
West at Washington, Emerson Gee,
superintendent, is sending forward
both orc and concentrates; the Poole
mines, Grow superintendent, have
made some small shipments, and also
the Will and Jundy.
Tho Worlds Fair mine, Frank
Powers, owner, ships occasionally, &C
cording to the needs of the owner. He
draws from it as one does from bank
and then closes down until more
money is needed.
The Flux mine, six miles from Pata-
gonia, Richardson owner, one of the
oldest mines in this section, produces
lead carbonate ore very desirable for
fluxing, and makes regular and large
shipments in bulk without sacking.
In the Salero region ten or twelve
miles from Patagonia, there is renew
ed activity, and many of the Older
claims are being reopened. Amongst
those now producing the following
may be mentioned: The Victor mine
w E Lloyd, agent, ships high grade
argentiferous galena. A similar ore
is DO ing produced by the Santa Rit'
Consolidated Mining company. Th'
Temporal Mining company, w. H
Barnett manager, is piling ore on the
dumps preparatory to shipping.
The Bradford copper mine, nea
Bloxton, is regular shipper of cop
per ore and is about to put on steam
hoist and pump. Water has been en-
ceuntered below the 100 foot leve
and cannot be handled by an ordinar.
within and bucket. This and on
other mine are the only ones in tn
Patagonia region where water i
troublesome.
1t is reported that recent strike o
q fine large body of nearly solid galent
was made In the Salero district, tn
width of the mass being nearly fv
feet. A good wagon road is to b
opened from Patagonia to the Saler
mines.
At the Washington camp the new
and very interesting process of mag
netic separation by the Wethere
method is now in operation.

MURDER MOST FOUL.
William Rusk Deliberately Takes the
Life of His Wife.

Some time last September William
Rusk and a young woman, said to be
his wife, came to Nogales from Tue
son. After remaining In Nogales,
Arizona, a few days they removed to
Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, where Rusk
secured the contract to repaper the
French Hotel, which is now known
as the Hotel de Paris. Rusk and his
wife took up their abode at the hotel
where he was working. Everything
apparently went well until a short
time ago when Rusk and his wife had
trouble of some kind. Last Sunday
night the young wretch filled himself
up with whisky and started out to
find his wife who was walking on the
street with a female friend
Rusk met his wife and her friend
near May Bros store in Nogales, So
nora, and stepping up to them be
pointed a gun at the head Of his wife's
friend and said Damn you I'll kill
YOU" This threat toward the other
woman was made apparently to throw
his wife other guard, for like a flash
Rusk turnd the pistol on her and
fred bullt into her head which re-
suited in infant death.
After firig the fatal shot the young
| fiend made dash for the American |
side of the International line which |
was only ahnt 100 yards tway, fol-

He Will Not be a Candidate for

To the Editor of The Charlotte OBJ
server.
Relying solely on my own judg-
ment and inclination, I hereby
withdraw my name as candidate
for Governor.
1 thank my friends who have
stood by me and desire still to
stand by me, SO loyalty. They are
held in everlasting remembrance;
but my duty to the State, my in
terest in the great issue pending
before the people and my desire
for absolute unity in the party,
leads me to take this step. There
are too msny candidates for Of
fee and especially for Governor,
and one less will, probably, add
something to party harmony. 1t
appears to me to be both useless
and unwise to press my candi-
dacy further. 1t does not make so
very much difference who is Gov-
ernor among the candidates now
before the people. The countr y
will likely be safe with any of
them. The great subject with
which we have to deal is the con
stitutional amendm ent, and the
success of the Democratic ticket
that will be put in the field on
April II. Let US stand as ore man
for the success of these and we
will thus leave to our children the
heritage of a "White Mans"
country, and the government ad-
ministered by North Carolinians,
Ny services will be at the COM
mand OF the Democratic party
from this time until the election.
Yours very truly,

against my wishes, as pre-
ferred to remain with my com.
pany, in which I was very much
interes led, and had gotten in
pretty good shape, I told Gen.
Kobbe SO, but he got me anyway.
The expedition sailed on the Is b
from Manild, composed of the
AZ Infantry; the 43rd Infantry,
and light battery on six tran
sports and steamships and the
gunboats Nashville and Helene,
and we're later ,ined by small
gunboat, the Mariveles Our first
point was Sorsogap, in the pro-
vince of Albay, Of which Gen.
Kobbe has been made Governor,
We arrived at this place on the
18th and landed Batta ion from
my regiment at Reg i.nent head
quarters. They had no fight. A
few rebels fred at the landing

heels. We found here large q uan
titles of hemp, all ready for mar
ket. The country down here is
very fne, rich, and would be the
easiest part of the Philippines to
get straight, if it were not for
the leaders who hope to make
something out of it. We then
land3d troops at Bulan and Don-
sol, ia the same province. with
Out any trouble TO amount tie
anythir q My company was fred
upon. A fact which made me
feel very badly as I was not with
them. Our third Battalion was
landed at Legaspi, in the same
province, and had a lively fight,
lasting three hours, in which
fifty Filipinos we're killed. Our
troops would have had trouble
if it had not been for the gun
boats, which shelled the towp.
All this time I was on the Han
cock not able to get off, and you
can imagine my feelings. We
then started for tine Isle of La
mar, and arrived off Calbagag.
Friday morning, Co. B. 43rd

end of it as we came in az the
other. They had a full govern

tives leaving,a few Cinnamon.
They had battery of artillery

buildings, we started out to look
up the soldiers. Mountains sur
round the town, and as we were
clim bing one of these they open
ed on US with artillery. We at
once deployed and went after
them, and had lively fight for
about one hour. They retreated
to their trenches, along which
they had mounted some muzzle
loading cannons and here they
made g stand. The Major gave
me part Of section to develop
their left, and we fanked and
drove them out Of their trenches
capturing ten cannons and kill

not losing a man. They did some
of the widest shooting I ever
saw. At the capitol, Catbalagon,
they said they would make a big

daybreak Saturday morning. and
after waiting an hour Or so par
leying with them prepared to

shelled the hills and demoralized
the enemy. They set the churches

through the town opened on US
from the hills, killing one man
and wounding quite lot. We
went up the hills after them, cap
turing three cannons and a great

to fight. The gunboats did great

TRIBUTES TO MIR. SHERMAN.
The Late Ex-Secretary of State
EulOEized.

EulOEized.
Lyman ]. Gage, the Secretary Of the
Treasury, said yesterday of the late John
Sherman:
"Mr. Sherman was Secretary OF the
Treasury during one OF the most trying
periods of the Departments history-the
period of the resumption of specie pay
ments. 1t is singularly fortunate thing
that President Hayes should have called
to this important and by no means easy
undertaking the man who did so much in
Congress to lay the legislative foundation
for its success.
1T was a memorable day when. after
sixteen years Of paper money uncertain
ties, the Government at last emerged from
this evil of a great war. IL Mr.. Sherman
had not also earned the gratitude Of his
countrymen by other successful services in
many directions. surely the resumption Of
specie payments would alone have been
sufficient to merit lasting praise.
His death removes another striking
character deeply associated with our ma
tional history for the last forty years
For that period and longer his voice and
personal influence helped to shape the
policies which have most largely govern
ed American affairs.
"As a member of Congress and as
Senator his powerful intellect and patri-
otto spirit were everywhere known and
appreciated There was never any doubt
as to the integrity of his purposes or his
devotion to his country. He possessed
that practical wisdom by which he discern
ed what was possible of accomplishment.
