A Washington correspondent calls
attention to rather surpi Using situ-
ation-the unequal distribution Of war
pensions in the various States. Ohio,
which has in round plumbers about
two-thirds the population OF New York,
has nearly 20 pei cent more pensioners
and receives % per cent moro pension
money. The figures are 5000 pen.
sioners in New York, to 1885, in
Ohio; Sl2, 020, 600 Of pension disburse.
ments in New York annually, 10
S15, III, ZOO in Ohio Kansas is another
great pension State in proportion to its
population, the number OF ITS citizens
on the rolls aud its disbursement
being about one.half of the same
figures for New York. The disburse
ments Of the Topeka pension office srt
the largest of any in the country, with
Columbia, O., good second. AS 1
rule the Eastern States get much lest
money than the Western, which Ii
probably accounted for by the fac
that SO many OF the returning soldier
at the close of the war went West tx
make their new start in civil life.
Hiram Cronk, who served 10 the wal
of 1872, is the only surviving Iensionel
of that war. He is 100 years of age
and resides at Ava, Oneida county
N. Y. Tho last survivor of the war O
the Revolution died in 1869, at the aet
of 100 years, q months and days. III
was horn and died in New York. &E
The correspondent also calls attention
to the value Of pension as an invest
ment so to speak. In 1892, the annua
value of pension roll was SIG, $40, 867
the amount paid, sl39, 1853, 1856; average
annual value of each pension, sl33. Al.
The average annual value has fiuctuated
very slightly since, the figures for 1900
being: Annual value, sl3l, 534, 544
amount paid, sl3s, 462. 100; average
annual value of each pension, Sl39, 80.

THE Prescott Courier does not favor executive clemency for thieveswho have acknowledged their guilt and are serv- ing term in the penitentiary. The Courier says: "There is some ground for clemency in the case of juvenile law breakers,c according, of course, to cir cumstances. But for the man who has grown grey with accommodating years and is still thief, purjurer, or any other sort of @ perpetual violator of the law, there is no ground for clemency, and if he cannot be legally hanged, he should at least be kept locked up the balance of his natural life, in order that people may be protected from his dep redations. Liberty certainly should not be constructed to mean liberty to steal"

COPPER IS THE METAL.
The Cochise Copper Mining Company.
 Bisbee, Arizona.

This company owns very valuable group of mines situated in Warren mining district, county of Cochise, Arizona, lying immediately east of and adjoining the town of Bisbee, and ad- joining the property of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company on the north. The latter company has been in operation tor about twen.y years, and employs about 1,50O men daily in the operation of it's mammoth mine and smelters. and as a result has produced copper to over 34,000, ,00O pounds during the year 1898, and the net proceeds or such production are reported to have been over S2,O00. .0Oa. and it has been said by experienced miners who have been under its em ploy for years, that the Queen min !, now has sufficient ore in sight to keep it in constant operation for the next twenty years without further de velopment.
 Is it not reasonable to believe that the property of the Cochise company is fully as valuable, when it is within such close proximity to such a won derful mine?
 The blasts set off in the underground workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and heard at the shaft of our mine, and oftimes the concussion has attracted marked attention.
 The original owners of these valu- able mines are local business men, we'll and favorably known in Bisbee and surrounding vicinity, who are doing their utmost to make this enterpl SC a success in every respect. The board O.. directors are original owners, and are donating their services to the com pany until such time as the mine will pay dividends. They own the con- trolling interest in this property, and as a protection to stockholders have placed their entire interest in escrow for term of one year.
 The stock books of our company are now open for subscriptions, and a lim- ited number of shares are offered at twenty five C. per share. No application for less than 100 shares will be ac- cepted.
 The company reserve the right at any time to advance the price of shares without further notice, or to reject any application for stock at their discre- tion.
 Every cent received from the sale Of stock will be expended toward the de- yelopment ot our property and the erection of hoisting works, and all other necessary improvements, and to make our enterprise success in every particular.
 We invite investigators and their experts or their engineers to closely scrutinize our property.
 Applications for shares may be made to any of the directors of the com pany, or to any of our legally author ized representatives.
