The ruling of the land office that
only paying mines can cut wood for
mining purposes on the public domain
Is one of the uuaccountable things of
that mismanaged department. A mine
that is paying can we'll afford to bny
its timbers aud wood, but following
the rule that to the rich shall be given
the department wishes to add to the
dividend paying possibilities of the
big corporations. The department
that will deliver over to the trust the
rich beach digging OF Nome cannot be
expected to favor the miner with a
non-paying property.

The fact that Wilson is admitted to
be a corporation man may lead to his
defeat by the democratic congressional
convention this coming fall. II he is
not on the corporation list why is not
some of the bills that he recently in
troduced pressed in the committeesY
Possibly Wilson can explain. We are
willing to accord to him just mead Of
praise for his work, but we believe the
place can be filled by an abler and at
the same time more conscientious
man.

and then an old river bed will be used
for distance of fifty miles to the set

A San Francisco dispatch says: Con-

Invested in sn extensive mining enter
prise in Siberia and Mauchuria. Con-
cessions for large tracts of land have
been obtained from the Russian and

development will soon begin. The
Chronicle says that an agent of the
syndicate has engaged fifty-two exper-
fenced miners ia this state aud order
ed S00,OO0s worth of modern mining
machinery, besides making arrange
ments for the shipment of a million
dollars worth within year. Part of
the machinery has already been ship

Two millions of dollars we're expend-
ed monthly in the Cripple Greek fields
of Colorado to pot the mines on pay.
ing basis aud this expenditure was
kept up for several years. Put the
same amount of money into Arizoua
and the return will be surprise to the
investors. Arizona has more and
richer mining country than any other
section of America and when capital
Is turned this way the output of gold
bullion will surprise the world. Mo-
have county's gold bearing zone is
more extensive than Cripple Creek and
will exceed it in production as soon as
the big cyanide plants are put in op-
GRAFTON. Along the Colorado river are
veins of gold bearing ore that carry
profitable values and the lodges are
remarkable for their great extent.
Many of the veins are over sixty feet
In width and cut through the country
for miles. In places there are great
dikes of porphyry that carry good mill
ing ores and the great veins of sban-
ket" rnn through the mountain range
for fifty miles north of Mellen.

The newspapers OF Arizona are at a
loss as to the political position of the
MINER. The Arizona Blade places us
In the republican column, while the

you are wrong. The MINER belongs to
no party faction, not even the Dewey

refused 20 serve aboard the vessel in their

What their reasons were for objecting to

To handling white men, were INV lliuE
