HAMPTON ON BRYAN-Gen. Wade
Hampton still takes an active interest
In the politics Of the country, and in q
talk with the representative of the
News and Courier few days ago, he
said
II don't think it worth while to
raise the currency Issue in the coming
campaign. There 10 no doubt about it
that the great majority OF the people
OF the State are with Bryan aud his
silver views. Congress, in the end, has
TO settle that question and l think the
currency question should not be api-
tated now. While do not agree with
Bryan in his financial views, he is q
most remarkable man and he is square.
ly on All anti nti-imperialistic platform
which should be the chief issue. Upon
that issue | believe Bryan can win
and l shall vote for him. Upon
that Issue all Dem ocrats can unite and
and heal the differences in the last
campaign, which resulted in the elec.
tion OF Mckinley. Bryan would cer-
tainy treat the South with fair
ness, which cannot be expected frJm
any Republican administration. Bryan
seems 10 be gaining strength in the
North. Pennsylvania Democrats have
already declared for him and believe
New York Democrats will do the same
hing. Imperialism, II CARRIED out,
will be the death knell Of this old
Republic and that Issue is now of far
greater Importance than the fnaucisl
question. [ believe We should send q
strong delegation to the c. yention
pledged to an anti-imperialistic policy.
They will certainly be for Bryan,
whose auti-imperialist views have
made him stronger than ever in the
South, and are increasing his strength
in the whole country"
Gen. Hampton intended going away
in day or two, but deferred his de-
parture 80 as to hear the address of
Col. Bryan.

A Land Office Case.

The case between Martin O'Hare aud
G. A. Overlook, ct al, is in session be.
fore the receiver of the land office at
Tucson. 1t will be two days or more
before the evidence and arguments on
both sides are finished.
The case is one Of great i'm mportance
to Bisbee, says the Citizen, as it in-
wolves question which touches upon
the property rights of every owner in
the camp. The land in question is oc.
cupied by G. A. Overlook aud others.
They have occupied the land for a mum.
ber of years. Martin OHare located
the same some time ago. Now he makes
application for patent at the land
office. Mr.. Overlook and Others have
protested the application.
Mr.. O'Hare claims the land is min
eral land and has brought forth speci.
mems to show that it is such. The as
says it is reported, show trace of min
eral. The protestants put forward the
claim thai it is not mineral land and is
theirs by squatters' rights.
As all of the land in the camp is held
by the same right it will be seen how
important the decision of this question
is. Lots have been bought for $1,000
in the camp where the title is as inse-
cure and uncertain as that of Mr.. Over.
lock and others. "lf the case is lost"
said Mr.. Overlook to Citizen reporter,
II can locate as mineral land some of
the best lots in Bisbee and the pos
SCISSORS will have to vacate."
The decision will be watched with
interest.

Chicago Prospectors Take Great
Risks for Riches.

Two months ago there arrived at the
Robinson House three young business
men of Chicago named l.. A. Proud.
foot and f. G. Proudfoot, brothers, and
l.. l. Stave, says the chihuahua Enter
prise. They were very quiet about
their movements and bore myster-
ious air which left the impression that
they were here on an important mis-.
sion and we're fearful that its nature
would be divulged. And it was. They
bore secret that was to make them
fabulously rich.
Last spring their arrived in Chicago
a man who brought with him 50,OO0S in
gold dust. He had been prospecting
in the Sierra Madre mountains and
struck rich placer mine west of Santa
Maria. lie spoke of great hardShips
aud told those Interested that they
were welcome to all that remained AS
he would not again take the trip for a
fortune.
Nothing daunted, these three Chic.
agoans combined and after getting
what they considered to be ample in-
formation, started out in quest of the
treasure. Had they made inquiries
they would have been saved great pain
and trouble. The trip from Guerrero
to Jesus Maria takes three days on
a good mule over the worst trail i'm.
aginable. The Chicagoans hired bur
ros, packed them and started out to
make the trip afoot. Only those who
have been over it can realize what that
means. Ii took them twenty.four days
and they reached their destination
more dead than alive, without clothes,
barefooted, bleeding and utterly ex.
hausted, One of the party was con.
fined to his bed for several days and
when they we're in shape to travel
again they had lost all their desire to
find the rich placers and turned back.
1t took them all week to recuperate at
the Robinson House and on Thursday
they returned to the states wiser but
sadder men.
And the treasure still remains west
of Jesus Maria.

loose to Craze and they started on the
back track, followed by Mr.. Pierce un.
til he was tired out. Mr.. Pierce re.
turned to camp In an exhausted condi.
anything to eat all day. The party re.
manned in camp all night and early
next morning Messrs. Hanna and Her.
man, leaving Pierce in camp, started
for Lees Ferry on foot. Mr.. Herman
reached the river at o'clock at night,
but he could not be heard at the ferry
mans house, which is on the north side
of the river. Mr.. Hanna had given out
five miles from the river, and Herman
returned to him with water, meeting
him three miles from the river. Their
supply of water was nearly exhausted
when they left the camp, and they took
but little with them for their forty
mile tramp across the hot sands. Re-
turning to the river, they we're soon in
the care of Ferryman Emmett, and a
man with team and water was sent to
the relief of Pierce. A three days rest
was made by the party at the ferry
where another team was procured and
the trip was completed without further
mishap. The team has not been heard
from. but Mr.. Pierce hopes to re,
cover it.-Coconino Sun.

did formerly? To that he answered,
yes; provided they made the improve
ments in the works TO which he was
about to refer. They had decided to
erect a . 0-tou concentrating plant.
and they would be able to raise their
output to somewhat over l3.0JO tons Of
copper per annum. They had decided
to expend $4,000 in rebuilding their
smelling plant, in increasing the ca
pacity of their railway plant and their
Bessemer plant, and so put them in a
condition they required to be in to
handle these low grade ores. A vote

According to the latest report of the
Ala ska-Treadwell Gold mining com
pany for the year ending May 81, 1879,
there were 1904 8 tons of ore mined
and milled at cost of 1869 1898, or
.O773S per ton. That amount of ore
was crushed at the 240-stamp mill, at a
cost of 69,j7l6Ts, or 0.2776S per ton. In
the mill steam power was used, lll1a
days and water power "a "a days. There
was an average crushing of II tons per
day, or a tribe less than three tons per
stamp per day. The new 3 0-stamp
mill began on May 9th. 1t is on the
beach adjoining the chlorination
works. Each stamp weighs |, s.
pounds. In this mill there are no con
centrators. The mill is valued in place
at 326,2l0.24s. Colonization of 1886
tons of sulphurets cost 1922. .S2S. The
gold yield per ton of the 2jo,4 tons Of
ore mined and milled was 27lS; the
cost of operation was l.2SS per ton,
leaving profit of l.43S per ton. Work
was begun in that mine in 1882 The
gold yield per ton has varied from "A (

Herald says One of the marvels of
mining in Arizona has been the estab-
lishment of a camp at the Octave gold
mine, which has come to stay, aud un
less all signs fail will the largest gold
camp in tie territory within a year.
The Octsg Gold Mining Company,
Limited, composed of successful indie
pendent oil men of Pennsylvania, is
making arrangements to receive 60
new stamps, which added to the 40
stamp mill now in operation, will give
the mill the greatest treatment capac-
ity of any mill in the territory. The
Octave has changed from small pros
pect to an important mine in :he course
of eighteen months. IL was purchased
at comparatively low figure and at
present ore, richer than that taken
from the we'll known Congress mine
few miles away, has been blocked out
in quantities sufficient to run the large
mill for several years. The company,
which Is close corporation, has given
out no figures concerning the quantity
of ore in sight or its richness, but it
is said that the rock averages about l5S
to the ton, aud much of it shows free
gold.
The statement has been made aud re-
iterated that the Highland Boy will
soon be in position to pay dividends
to the extent of 50 a share per year, or
million aud half annually. If this
Bingham property fulfllls this expec.
tation it will take rank As the largest
dividend payer in Utah, and the great
Silver King, of Park City, to equal this
disbursement, will be compelled to pay
! los year in dividends on its capital
stock. The Silver King is now paying
at the rate of 6S per share yearly with
an additional dividend of 80 cents a
share as a Christmas present to Its
sh ireholders, making total of $4,000;
annually, but as the output of the mine

pauies paying handsome dividends aud
other mines closely crowding them in

George X. Fleming informed US that
ground was broken few days ago for
the concentrator which the Black War
rior Copper company is to erect. The
machinery will arrive from Denver
within three weeks and the construc
ton of the plant will be pushed with
all possible speed. The 2OO.foot shaft
on the company's Gold gulch property
will be completed within a few days,
when cross-cutting will begin. The

Claud Batallieur, who was in from
Skinnerville on Monday, is enthus-
iastic over the showing of ore in the
Troy mines, some of which, he says, is
rich enough to make copper kettles of
without being smelted. The force of
employees is engaged in building
boarding house, sleeping quarters and
stables. and repairing the roads which
were damaged by the recent heavy
food. The first payment on the Troy
mines will be made on or before the

A big strike was made a short time
ago in the Golden Star mine, mile
east of Centerville. This claim is owned
by the Twin Sister company. A drift
was run from the Golden Fleece, a dis.
tance of 600 feet, and not tapping the
ledge, a survey was made and it was
found the cross-cut was not running
directly for the ledge. so another cross.
cut was run from the main one, more
in an easterly direction, and the ledge
was tapped. The Golden Star and
Golden Fleece ledges are 400 feet apart.
The strike was made at depth of 250
feet. The ledge is four feet wide and
gold is visible in nearly all of it. The
company will soon put on force OF
twenty-five or thirty men.-Idaho City
