The New Manila.

Any one who left Manila a year ago, returning to it today, would al
 most fancy himself a Rip Van Win. kle. Today one may well rub Cne's eyes at the change effected. The streets, if dusty and somewhat mud dy, are ut least clear of garbage the gutters are kept cleared. Houses have been repaired and painted Innumerable new stores have been opened; rigs have been much i'm proved, though still leaving much to be desired. pariahs are growing conspicuous by their absence, espe- cially canine ones, and the beggars are gradually disappearing from the streets. Sickness and disease are on the decrease, and the city generally is in a more sanitary con dition than it Las ever been since its foundation. And all these charges and improvements have been brought about by the bringing to bear, upon the existing conditions, American ideas in place of the afore- time laissez aller notions existing under late Spanish rule. The won derful improvements achieved SO far are an excellent omen for what an other year will bring forth, and those here then will see how ex- tremely beneficial to the city gen. erally and the welfare of it's inhabi- tants has been the new regime Manila American.

A Pathetic Scene

An English soldier gives the fol. lowing pathetic account of the burial of those killed in action at Colesburg:
 "Our burying party sent out was received by the Boers symPatheti- callY. They rendered assistance to our men. Over the grave they sang hymn and some of the leaders made impressive speeches, express ing abhOrrance of the war, ,regretting the heavy losses on both sides and declaring the hope that the war would soon be over.
 "One wonders if ever before in the history of war the victors in such an engagement stood around the graves of the men they had just shot, sang a hymn, and, amid these solemn sur roundings, impressively bewailed the strife of blood, which they fervently hoped would soon be ended.

Fred ericks, president; D. NJ. F. Weeks first president and general man ager; F. NJ. Murphy, second vice president; H. D. Aitken, secretary and treasurer; G. A. Bray, co-direc- tor.
 This company maintains and op- crates one of tine largest wholesale and retail mercantile establishments in the territory, carrying full and complete lines of all classes of mer- chandise, and are fully prepared to supply every known need of the trade in large or small quantities.
 The business of this house has ex- banded with the growth of the coun- try, and they report that their busi- ness for 1899 was very satisfactory.
 From observation of the personnel of the management above the JOUR- NAL MINER has every confidence that business entrusted to the Bashford- Burmister company will be looked after in a business-like manner and the interests of their customers carefully looked after. This estab- iishment is certainly credit to this city and county, having kept apace with needs of the trade and growing with the growth of the county. The firm has recently divided their es- tablishment into departments, each of which IS presided over by sales man who is an expert in his partiou- lar line.

EILlPlNos ARE ALL RRYANITgs.

FILIPlNOS ARE ALL BRYANITES.
 A Phenix boy writing to his rela- tives from the Philippines says:
 Every one is anxious to hear from home. There is quite a stir about politics just at present and I sup pose for a year to come it will be lively over there. There are others here who are watching things closer than do We. I mean Diggers. They think W. j. Bryan IS a young God. They ask us all kinds of questions regarding him. The political situa- tion will put no money in my pocket either way, as 1 expect to be running niggers while Bryan ct al are doing the fancy running for office, but it is a fact that the Filipinos keep posted pretty well and seem to lean hope fully in Bryan's direction"
 The above only confirms what has often been charged that the Bryans, Pettigrsws, Atkinsons and .heir CO., workers have furnished and are still furnishing the moral support to the Filipino rebellion.

Tribute to the Press.

The press of Arizona has done more to bring about the present prosperous conditions than all other salient influences combined. It has advertised its resources, thus en- couraging capital to invest in the same and families to come and es- tablish homes among us. It has been the advocate of all the civiliz- ing institutions which have been anchored in the territory. It has led the way for every movement looking to the general welfare, but this has been done at much cost. In Tucson nine daily and ten weekly newspapers have come and gone, wrecked for want of support. The pioneer press of Arizona has done a great work, but at a great sacrifice. No institution should receive more liberal public encouragement, for the press is a most benefcent factor in the up-building of any eommuni- ty, especially when under the lead ership of clean, fearless and pro- gressive management, actuated with good motives and sincere purposes for the public welfare.-Star.

United Verde Reorganization.

The JoURNAL-MINER in its last is- sue quoted telegram from New York telling of the injunction issued by the supreme court of New York against the sale of the United Verde mine to d new corporation. A later telegram says that H. G. Atwater, of the firm of Atwater & Crulkshank, attorneys for the United Verde Copper company. said that "the decision of the appellate court, reversing Justice Gildersieeve's or der and granting an injunction re- straining Senator Clark and his col leagues from selling the mines, comes to late. The sale took place as soon as Justice Gildersleeve vacated the injunction and we have become a West Virginian corporation. Be- sides, all the stockholders, including Prof. Treadwell, with the exception of the holders of 78 shares, have ap- proved of the reorganization. Prof. Treadwell exchanged 600 shares in the old company for stock in the West Virginia, which has been do- ing business according to the laws of that state since Feb. 10. The new company Las already declared two dividends. We do not antici- pate any litigation"

A Quick Trip to the Canyon.

NJ. B. Hazeltine returned last evening from a visit to the Grand Canyon. It was his first visit there, although long time a resident of Prescott. He left here at 4 o'clock on the morning of the 18th instant and returned at 315 p. m. of the l6th. The trip was a business one, hence he did not have more than about half an hour to spend at the Canyon. He went out on the new railroad to the end of the track and was driven thence to the brink of the canyon on a blackboard. Speak ing of the railroad, he says there IS nothing shoddy about it, but it is built in a good substantial manner; good, wide grade; heavy rails, track we'll ballasted, and the bridges good, heavy and stout and well built. He says the cars ride very smoothly over the track and does not convey any impression of a new track.

4 Plucky Man.

With all the reverses that have iu recent years overtaken Lucky Bald win he still seems undaunted and in the ascendancy. A very fine ledge of comparatively low grade re has been discovered on his beautiful ranch in the San Gabriel valley. This ore runs from 5 to $l5, and the examinations made upon this property have been entirely favora- ble. Development work has been begun in dead earnest and the out look seems very bright. This dis covery has caused sensation in the quiet surroundings of orange and lemon groves, and presents a singu- lar contrast to the vocation that has hitherto characterized the conImun- ity.
 Baldwin's latest scheme is to open a dance house at Cape Nome, where he will present to the miners of the new Eldolado the swarthy damsels of the Hawaiian and South Sea Isl- ands. With all his idiosyncracies and objectionable features it is hard to find a man who presents the push and pertinacity that has made Lucky Baldwin one of the striking figures of the Pacific coast. Bald win is a fighter in every sense of the word and will doubtless continue to battle on while he lives.

 Instead of complying with the re- quest he grabbed his Winchester and made a brave fight. He sue ceeded in holding the bandits at bay until help reached him and the rob bers were driven of. The robbers did not secure any booty and left, going in the direction of Old Mexico.

Governor Murphy Goes East.

Governor Murphy passed through Prescott this morning en route east. Prior to leaving Phenix a reporter of the Republican obtained the fol- lowing interview from him:
 In reply 10 an inquiry as to his mission east, he said:
 "I am going to attend a meeting Of governors appointed by the pres ident, called for Feb. 2l, and to do what l can for statehood and Ari- zona."
 "How long do you intend to be gone?" the governor was asked.
 "About three weeks, possibly thirty days"
 "How about politics?"
 My trip has no political sIgnifi- canoe whatever"
 Do you intend to take any part m the spring campaign for delegates to the national conventionP
 "Not beyond the part of a citizen and voter"
 Do you wish to go to the con- vention as delegate yourself?"
 Most emphatically no, and under no circumstances will directly nor indirectly try to influence the selec- tion of delegates"
 Have you any preference as to who IS selected as delegates?"
 Not at all," said the governor, "beyond a wish that men of standing and character be chosen whose honor and republication cannot be impeached and who desire to attend the convention to unselishly serve the party and the territory. I have stated my views on this question so often that my position ought not to be misunderstood"
 Do you think President McKin- ley will be renominated?"
 "Undoubtedly-probably by ac- clamation."
 Do you think there is any hope for statehood in the near future"
 "Most certainly, but we should all work together. We cannot hope for success unless we try. I shall do my utmost for admission and for every other territorial need"

FREE MAIL DELIVERY.
Official Notice Received by the Post master of the Establishment
 of the Service.

On the first day of March, prox- imo, Prescott will take on metro pohtan airs, by having free mail de- livery established.
 Postmaster Akers received his official notice last evening of the appointment of Cbas. Born. jr., and June s. Freeman, as carriers and Monroe Redden as substitute, The salaries of the former are S72O each per year to commence with, while the salary of the substitute is Sl.OO per year and pay for sue h time as he may be actively employed when either of the others is absent The yearly salary is paid by the government, the working salary by the carrier, unless he is absent on leave.
 Coupled with the official notice of the ppointments came also in struct !ons to the postmaster to have everything m readiness to have the service inaugurated March l. The boxes and paraphernalia for the service has been on hand for some time. There are fifteen boxes, and during the recent visit of Postoffce Inspector Flint the locations for the boxes were selected by him and Postmaster Akers, The posts will be put up at once and the boxes will be placed on them just a day or two prior to March 1.
 Postmaster Akers desires special attention called to the matter, that all citizens desiring their mail de- livered at their residences may com mence at once to have their letters and papers addressed with the street and number on them. Parties whose residences are not numbered will of course be compelled to have them numbered before they can enjoy the benefits of free delivery.
 Parties desiring it can have private boxes placed Tn front of their resi- dences where carrlers can leave their mall and from where mail deposited for transmission will be taken by the carriers, the same as from the regular government boxes. The postofhce department will furnish locRs for these private boxes and they will be protected from being tempered with. the same as the regular boxes, the penalty for tampering with such private boxes being the same as that of the regular boxes.
 To Postmaster Akers very largely is due the success of securing free delivery. He has, it is true, been ably assisted by Postoffice Inspector Hall. The two took the matter up several months since, and have been working necessarily on it ever since, despite some open opposition, and lukewarmness on the part of others who could have been of assistance to it. While the direct benefit to many of our citizens in receiving their mail direct at their homes will be quite important. the indirect ben eft abroad 10 the town by the i'm portance given it through the fact that it Is a free delivery town, will be equally as great if not greater than the direct benefits.
