 Recent advices from Manila state that William Odun. who is spoken of as a miner of large experience. has returned from a prospecting trip on the distant coast of Nigan. He showed rich specimens of gold, and declared lat he had located a ledge of quartz as rich as anything in Colo radO or California. He is organizing company of eX-sOldiers, and will go into the mountain districts of Vigan to secure claims. In an interview in the Manila Freedom, Odun says: Never before did I see such indica- tiOns of mineral wealth. I have tray eled from the KlOndike to South Af- rica. and I am convinced that there is not a much richer mineral country in the world than the Island of LuZOn."
 \ telegram from TOluca, Mexico, says: One of the largest mining deals ever made in Mexico has just been cOnsummated here by the sale of a group of four exceedingly rich and productive gold mines, located in t4e Zacualtipan district, near here, by their Mexican owners to a London, England. syndicate. for $4.OOO,OOO gold The properties were originally ex- amined in behalf of the purchasing syndicate by John Hays Hammond. the noted American engineer. who spent several weeks in the district about two months ago. The syndi- cate secured an option on the prop critics for the $4.OOO0OO upon his re commendatiOn, but before closing this option, six other mining engineers were sent to Zacualtipan to examine thoroughly and report on the mines. Each of their reports agreed with that of Mir. Hammond. and the deal has been closed. Cecil Rhodes is said to he one of the principal stockholders of the syndicate.

Work on other claims in the district con tinues. and many of them show values in gold. From a claim about five miles north of the [. V. S r. railway some of the richest wire silver speci- mems ever discovered in Arizona have been found; this is very rich and eXcels even the rich ores found in NIohave county. On this same group there has been found some splendid gold specimens. It is the intention of the owners to push development While the rush to the district has somewhat fell off. those who have gone in and located claims have much confidence in its prospects. There are large number of lodges, all of which are worthy of development. There has been millions of dollars ex- pended in districts in which there was not anywhere near the showing that there is in the Mineral Point Gold district"

THE IDAHO STRIKE.

Governor Steunenberg. of Idaho, was a witness before the militia af- fairs committee for twelve days. giv- ing testimony as to the mining riots that occurred there last year. Any impartial person who heard his testi- mony must feel disgusted with the democratic efforts to place upon the shoulders of this administration the responsibility for the murders arson. and other crimes that were committed here. The governor denied every charge made in the resolution. offered in the house by Representative Lentz, of Ohio. as a result of which the in vestiGatiOn was ordered. He denied that General MerIlm had made any arrests. He deniea that the prisoners were held under the most brutal and tyrannical conditions" He denied that the bull pen" was unfit for hu- man habitatiOn. He denied that the treatment of the prisoners was brutal and degrading He denied that q dying prisoners request for a priest had been refused. a chapter that had been made by the San Francisco Ex- aminer, and which had been investi- gated and found false at the instiga- tion of a very high official Of the Catholic church. He also denied that an escaping prisoner had been shot and killed by the soldiers. As a mat ter of fact, there is no political capi- tai to be made out of the affair by the democrats, and well-Organized labor will fail to sustain the actions of the band of disorganized labor that spread fire and murder through Sho- shOne county.-Citizen

PATRONAGE IS SOLICITED.

"We do not propose to harass the business men of Prescott by piteous personal appeals for patronage" "- Courier
 We do not propose to harass any one for anything, but may Harris business men for patronage. The JOurnal-Miner wants patronage. It is an essential in it's business, in fact it cannot live without it. It proposes to merit patronage In the first place. and in the next place 1t proposes to so- llcit people for 1t. The present is an age when business is done in this way largely. and the JOurnal-NIiner is right in the procession and proposes to remain there. Business men will not be harrassed by any piteous ap- peals running down any of this pa per's contemporaries, either, as that is a practice which has always been refrained from.

FICTITIOUS STATEHOOD FIG
 URES.

Some of our Arizona contemporar ies complain of the opposition in the cast to the admission of Arizona as a state. When that question is looked at candidly there is a good excuse for this opposition. Our own people are largely to blame for it too. We have never vet made a united effort to SC cure statehood on fair and legitimate truthful grounds.
 Under the Zulick administration the ouestion was agitated and that wind hag from New Jersey set forth glow in statements of the wealth and pop ulation of the territory, claiming that the population was 100000 and the taxable property about SSO.00O.OOO. A census taken a few years afterward demonstrated the fact that our pOpu- lation was only 59.OOO. while the tax rolls of the territory shOwee value q little over S20OOO,OOO.
 It is noticed that the same tactics are being adopted during the present spasmodic agitation of this question. While no one has dared to raise Zu- Iick's figures on population, they have been placed at the same 100000. Now it will only be a few months until an other census is taken. and it is just as safe tos wager that the population will not show up over S0,OOO as it is that Bryan will not sit in the pres idential chair next term.
 Again. the taxable property of the territory is placed at something like S1OO.OO0.OO0. These figures are some .where near correct, no doubt. but when less than S3O.0OO,00O of this property is listed for taxation and the tax rate in the various counties is from two to three and a half per cent. and in incorporated towns one cent greater for municipal purposes, it demonstrates to the eastern mind one of two things; either that we eXagger ate our valuation of property or else are seriously negligent about getting it on the tax roll. Their natural con clusion is that take either horn of the dilemma one may. the territory is not yet it to take the reins of govern ment in its own hands. Is there not more truth and justice in such a con clusiOn than there is prejudice? With an approximate property value of S100.OOOOO0 and with less than S30.0OO.00O of it on the tax roll and such a high rate of taxation as pre- vails in the territory. is it not a sad commentary on the laXnesS of our territorial government. and an argu- ment against statehOOd?"

BITS OF FACT.
=.

At Elizabeth, N. J., drug stores are not allowed to sell cigars or soda water on Sunday.
 Pure butter, eaten in moderation, will furnish the oils required by the hu- man system.
 According to Prof. Garriott, of the weather bureau, Chicago, is the windi- est point in our country.
 The Annapolis CMd.) council pro poses to bond the city for S1OO,OOO to beautify the streets, and to arrange it in such way that the tax rate will not be increased.
 Land in Cuba is not measured by the acre. A planter buys 'cabaleria" of land, not an acre. A cabaleria of land is in the form of a circle. These cir cles overlap each other and chunks are left out, and the result of land trans action is bewildering.
 The emission of light from a common potato in a state of decomposition is sometimes striking. Dr. Phipson, in his work on phosphorescence- men tions a case in which the light thus emitted from a cellar full of these vege- tables was so strong as to lead an off, cer to believe his barracks were on fire.
 A Washington observer has come to the conclusion that a greater number of prominent men, foreigners as well as Americans, pass the corner of Pennsyl- vania avenue and Fifteenth street in a given time than pass any other corner in the country. It is the beaten track to the whte house of ambassadors, ministers, senators and Representatives.
 Cape Hatteras, which has earned bad name as a place for storms, is danger oDs place for shipping, more because of it's dangerous coast than because of the storms. The wind velocity at Block island, Naragansett and other places along the New England coast is just as high as at Hatteras. Their coast is not so dangerous, however, because there are convenient and safe harbors.

OREGON REPUBLICANS.

At the recent state republican con vention of Oregon a platform was adopted which among other things says:
 We reafTiirm our belief in and loyalty to the gold standard. We commend the republican congress for it's recent legislation making the gold standard part of the statutory law of the land.
 We heartily indorse the policy of the administration, and particularly in securing the Philippine islands, and we demand that they shall be retained as American territory.
 We indOrse the policy of the ad- ministration in suppressing the in surrection in the Philippines headed by AguinaldO.
 We regard trade with tie orient as one of the greatest sources of our national wealth in the future. and an open door in China is an important aid to the growth of our trade in the orient.
 We commend the successful efforts of its secretary of state, to secure by treaty with the several European powers, the right to the free introduc- ton of American goods into this great empire
 ''The republican party in Oregon recognizes the vital necessity of the curtailment of the powers of trusts and combinations of capital by the state within it's borders, and pledges its support in the approaching legis- lature 10 laws defining and carrying out those objects.
 We are unalterably opposed to any measure looking to the leasing of the public domain, believing that such a system would have an undoubted ten dency to hasten the concentration of land ownership in the hands of a few individuals and against the long established American policy of en- couraging home building.
 We favor an amendment to the constitution of the United States so as to provide for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people and we instruct our senators and representatives in con gress to use every effort to secure such an amendment to the constftu- ton.
 , We are in favor of the immediate construction of a canal between the Atlantic and Pacific at the Isthmus of Panama, and we instruct the Ore son delegation in congress to labor earnestly and continually for the en- actment of such legislation as will lead to the construction and operation of the canal under government con, trol."

The Wheat Market.

On lesser scale the past week repro
duced the conditions OF its predecessor,
pronounced strength gaining asaendency
ut the close OF last week, to be followed
by reactions Monday and Tuesdrv much
ersdicated such gains as had been made.
Argentine continues much in evidence
as a weakening factor in the grain stu
alton. The large crop there is being Sc
cured in good condition, and exports
hold up strongly in spite of reports OF
the plague at one or two points. The
damage to French crops appears to have
been largely overestimated too, tending
to modify the strength which accrued
from late reports from that country. On
the other hand frosts in Russia and de-
crease IN stocks at nearly all southern
Russian ports have served to add some
strength to that produced by the Indian
famine news. The strongest dependence
OF the bull faction in wheat is now
placed upon probably unfavorRble crop
developments within the next few
mcnths February and March are usu-
ally considered critical periods with the
American crop, and the general shortage
OF a sufficient STOW covering seems likely
to develop an extra large number of ru-
mors OF damage to growing grain, but
whether sufficient to affect export as wei
as speculative values time alone will tell.
Locally, export business is very quiet.
Receipts for the week were AZ, 500 BUSH
els, with one cargo exported, and 10000
centals taken out on the Goodwin for
Japan. Two cargoes are loading and
some tonnage is beginning to make an
appearance, though the wheat shipping
trade continues particularly apsthetic.
The continued large purchases for mill
lIg purposes at the interior has the eli
iect OF causing holders to continue strong
in their position because OF the premium
paid by manufacturers for their takings.
There have been larger sales recently,
however, than for some time previous,
and prospects for an increased move
ment to tide-water seem good.
The Pacific coast crop outlook is ex-
ceptionally good. There Is, of course,
some apprehension concerning the bare
condition Of the ground, but fall wheat
looks remarkably well to date, with
large acreage, and prospects for the US
alamount of spring sowing. California
Is also banking on large and excellent
crop, having secured sufficient rainfall
with fine stand OF wheat.-West Coast
Trade.
