There were present az the arvice very

Mohave County miner., 1900-04-21

The news of wonderfully rlcn
strike in the Clipper, near Norris, In
Madison county, has just been re-
ceiyed. The Clipper group is owned
by Filing & Morris, both well known
mining men of that county. In their
l2OO-foot tunnel they ran into chute
of ore 145 feet wide, which assays from
So to lT5s in gold per ton. A party OF
Salt Lake gentlemen, who had ex-
amined the property and exported II
in the interest of the Walkers of Salt
Lake, left Butte last Wednesday for
the sanity city. The gentlemen were
very reticent as to what they saw in
the Clipper, but the World learned the
facts as stated through another source.
The ore averages across the whole
width of the ledge 20s per ton-an i'm
mense thing. 1t is thought the Wal
kers may take the property at the
price, l,500,OOOs, or take bond for it
at those figures. The Clipper has Civ
en- evidence of being the greatest gold
mine in the world.--Western Mining

Republican Territorial c, INVENTION.

.r TUCSON, ARIZ., March &C. 1900
The republicans Of the Territory OF Arizona
ars hereby called 10 meet in delegate convention
In the city OF Phoenix on
MONDAY, APRIL, 30, 1900,
at 10 o'clock a. m, for the purpose Of electing
six delegates and six alternates 10 attend and
represent said territory at the National Repub.
lcan Convention, TO be held in the city OF Phila-
delphia on June 18th. 1900, and for the transae.
tlon OF such other business as may properly
come before the convention.
The basis of representation of the several
counties in said convention will be one delegate
for every so votes cast at the last general elec.
tion for Alex o. Brodie, for delegate to Congress
and one additional delegate for each fraction
over 25. Such delegates shall be chosen, not

Upon the foregoing basis. the appointment

Last week when Bryan reached Gal
lup, New Mexico, he was met by a
large delegation OF the citizens of the
Coal City and after making short
address, was presented with hand.
some Navajo blanket. When the blap-
ket was examined by the democratic
statesman, as the train rolled on to.
ward Albuquerque, note fell from its
folds, which read: "Mr Bryan: The
wool from which this blanket is made
was worth six cents per pound under
Mr.. Cleveland'3 administration; it is
now worth twenty-six cents. Tell this
to your constituents" The writer who
penned the note might add that iron
was selling at the same low figure and
other products of the loom and forge
were within the reach Of the purchas-
ing class under the same administra.
tion, but the admission also will have
to be made that the very few get the
benefit of the great increase in the
price of wool and other products; that
the miner, farmer and laborer have to
pay the penalty of high priced wool
Mohave County miner., 1900-04-21

We are pleased to learn that the re-
publican primary elections In Maricopa
county have resulted in the election of
delegates favorable to Hon. Charles
Akers, who is candidate for delegate
to the republican national convention
at Philadelphia. Mr.. Akers is our pres.
ent efficient territorial secretary and a
most affable gentleman is he. The
faction fighting Secretary Akers we're
routed horse, hoof and dragons.
Mohave County miner., 1900-04-21

The attorney general of Arizona has
given to Secretary Akers an opinion
covering the subject of foreign corpor-
alton maintaining an Office within the
territory, where advantage has been
taken of our incorporation laws. If
no agent is appointed to reside within
the territory such incorporation can
be dissolved by law The only require
ment of our laws governing foreign
corporations is that an agent he APP
pointed at the place Of business within
the territory designated in its articles
of incorporation. This is small re-
quirement in return for the benefit con-
ferred by our liberal laws and ought
to be observed.
Mohave County miner., 1900-04-21

An Eas tern paper gives an account OF
Johannes burg as it was last summer.
1t says it was splendid modern city
of 100000 inhabitants, with banks,
stores, beautiful residences, hotels, one
of which had wrought iron veranda
which cost 6O,OOOs, fine churches and
club house. 1t was the Uitlander city,
the outgrowth of the fabulously rich
mines at that point. A perfect panic
seemed to seize the people when the
war broke out, In such an exodus as
has rarely been seen in modern times.
Men aud women left everything
homes elegantly furnished, splendid
banks, clubs and stores-and fled.
Today the business houses are boarded
up and the grass is growing in the
streets. There are left, besides the
natives, only about 5000 or 5000 Ger
mans and Americans who are en-
p Dyed by the Boer government in
working the mines. The Boer author
tiles maintain order.
