The mines of Southern Utah are just
now receiving some attention on &C
count of the proposed railroad through

facilities that go toward the making of

mining investors have been shy about
investing their money. The southern

Last year the whole Yukon country.
inclusive of the Klondike, produced
2200j,0 ,000S in gold. No other metals
we're produced, therefore this repre-
sents the total mineral output of that
country. In the production of this
vast amount of wealth 21,00O people
were employed. Last year there was
employed in mining in the territory
Of Arizona not to exceed $1,000 men
and the mineral output amounted to
over 30O00,000s. Thus it will be seen
that Arizona is far the richer country
of the two. Without the boom that
the Yukon country has had Arizona
every day produces far more mineral,
and even exceeds the output of the
great state of California. Within ten
years Arizona will be the greatest gold,
copper, silver and lead producing sec
tion Of the United States. 1t is now
third in the list Of mineral producing
states, being exceeded by Colorado and
Montana.

A Deadwood, S. d. dispatch gays:
Eastern capitalists are giving their at.
tention to the great deposits of iron
ore in the southern hills. A com pany
called the Iron Mountain Mining Com
pany was organized last summer by
Samuel Scott, of Custer. 1t was pro-
posed to ship 1000 tons of the ore per
month to the smelling works at Den
yer. 1t was then impossible to get
teams enough TO haul this amount to
the Burlington station. At Iron Noun
tain, twelve miles northeast of Custer.
is the largest vein of iron ore known TO
exist 10 the world. 1t is from l,0JO TO
1900 feet wide, and can be traced for
ten miles north and south. Iron

it is in reality mountain of iron.

In Mexico the government law pro.
vides for no overlapping claims in the
mining districts. Ia denouncing a
mining claim it is surveyed and your
next neighbor is treated the same, the
claims adjoining, but not overlapping
The claim covers 100 meters on each
side OF the vein and the locator has to
pay an annual tax of ten dollars per
year to the government for each loca.
tion. The method pursued by the
Mexican government could be followed
to advantage by our own government.

Along the Colorado river there are
great bodies of copper ore that for
years have escaped the notice of the
investor. In old San Bernardino coun-
ty, California, there have recently been
discovered one of the greatest veinS of
copper in the southwest. The ore is
said to average higher in metal than
any of the working mines of the state
and as soon as possible they will be
worked by a company of eastern men.
The mine, at present, is somewhat iso.
lated, but their great value will cause
railroads to be built to them.

At last Coloradans are awakening
to the fact that Mohave county, Ari-
zona, is one of the richest sections of
the Globe and are rushing in to get
some of the good things. Every day
brings new arrivals from the Centen-

ing claims. Many have gone into the
mountains on prospecting tour, while
others are examining mining claims
with view to purchase. Those who
have visited the Blus Ridge mountains
express the conviction that another

is moderately free, at least it can be

If the proposition to make the great.
er part of northern Arizona a reserve
becomes realty it will retard the
growth and pros perity of our neigh
boring counties to an incalculable ex.
tent. The idea of making a reserve
in and around the Grand Canyon is a
most foolish one and will only force a
few residents of that section into
bankruptcy. The inhabitants of the
proposed reserve have for years been
actively engaged in cattle and sheep
raising and if they are forced off at
this time it means ruination. The
whole scheme was worked up in the
interest of a few corporations, that
having cut off all the timbe on their
grant are anxious to trade the value.

Finance, journal devoted to the
financial situation of the southwest, is
of the opinion that mining has made
more millionaires than any other in
dustry, and that it is much safer than
banking. The fact is there have been
less failures in mining in the past ten
years than in any of the other business
pursuits. Men are giving the subject
OF mining their earnest thought and
instead of jumping into a mining deal
as they would take chance in lot
terry they go at it in business way
and make it win every time. OF course
there are wildcats worked off on the
tenderfoot mining investor, but mining
education has cut this class down to a
minimum. Mining investments are
just as safe today as government bonds
If the mines are handled by profess
ional mining men.

The Burns Lien Law.

The following is the full text of the
Burns lien law, which was assed by
the legislature and signed by the gov.
ernor few days ago:
Section l. That any mining claim or
mine leased or sub-leased shall be liza
bic for the debts contracted in work.
ing the same.
Sec. .. That no written or printed
notice to the contrary shall be of any
effect, nor save the mining claim or
mine from such liability.
Sec 3. This act shall take effect and
be in force from and after its passage.
Thus far in the history of Mohave
county its mineral development is due
to the brain and Drawn of the hardy
chlorider, who is always willing to
take chance. Practically all the ores
shipped from this county in the past
eighteen years was taken from the
mines by lessees. Through their man.
agement of the mines but little money
was lost to either miner or supply
houses. 1t is true that once in a while
lessees failed to strike the pay chute
and consequently were unable to pay
their help, but the cases are few. Now,
the Burns bill in attempting to obviate
loss to the miner and merchant shuts
and bolts the door on the leasing sys-
TEN, for where is there mine owner
who will allow a chlorider to 90 to
work on mining claim which he con.
siders valuable under the conditions
set forth in this bill? We know of no
one. The leasing system built up the
county to its present industrial stand
ard aud now this measure is sure to
kill the bird that laid the golden egg.
In Montana the people are urging the
big mining companies to lease their
idle ground, as they claim the state
derives greater benefit from the pro-
duction of the chlorider than from the
mining companies on the same amount
of production. There the chlorider is
fostered. The same is true of Cali
fornia and Colorado, while here they
try TO kill him off.
We look at this measure not from
the partisan standpoint, but from the
point of public benefit. In the matter
we have no axe to grind and no cor
poration to serve. If miner believes
he is liable to lose his wage he is not
com pelled to work for lessee, wheth-
er foreign or domestic and neither is
merchant bound to give credit. It is
poor policy to try to remedy these
questions by legislation. They have
been tried in the older states and in
each instance have been declared un.
constitutional by the courts as we be-
lieve this measure will be when the oc-
casion offers. Already mine owners
are seeking advice as to what effect the
law will have on contracts entered into
prior to the enactment of the bill and
feel that they may be up against it in
proper shape.

The bill to allow the recorders in
fifth class counties to retain one-half
of the fee for recording mining claims
is just one. The recorders in the
mining counties have vast amount of
work at certain seasons of the year

employ deputies it is but right that
they be recompensed for the extra

BARRED FROM THE MILLS.
Mrs. wsIm.ns c.nnos send Literature
Through the MaiIs.

Last Saturday the postofiice depart
ment at Washington signed an order
barring Mrs. Helen Wilmans, Of Sea-
breeze, from the use of the mails in con-
nection with the scheme for operating
through the mails for obtaining money
by false pretenses." Prominent Flor
idians have been in Washington watch
ing the case, including Governor Jen-
nings. Senator Mallory and Representa-
tive Davis and Otis o. Green, of Ocala,
her legal representative. She was not
present, but her husband attended.
The authorities Issued statement fur
nishing q synopsis of their case. They
say Mrs. Wilmans claimed power to heal
any disease or affiiction, including pow
erty, by method of thought concentra-
ton on the patient.
''Eyidenre gained" continues the
statement, Showed that large number
of persons applied and paid money for
extension of her thought power to their
specific cases. To these she sent instruc-
tions that they should set apart fifteen
minutes daily in which to forget other
matters and permit the healing thought
she sent TO enter their bodies and renew
them"
During the hearing evidence was adj
duced showing while persons named
Dayton were acting chief clerks for her,
she opened the mails, removed the money
and, without carefully reading the let
ters, returned them back 20 clerks TO be
answered with stereotyped letters. Fur
ther evidence was offered, and not dis
puted, showing she, in addition to prom
ising 10 send thought at certain hours
each day, also did considerable literary
work. Granting that she was a woman
of energy, the authorities concluded she
was utterly unable TO find it possible ''to
even make pretense of sending specific
and individual thoughts to all her pa
tients, on account of the limited number
of hours in the day" To this she re.
Piled she could think of 900 at a time
as easily as one.
Without entering into the merits OF
the so-called science, except so far as de.
ception was imposed upon unfortunateS
induced to take treatment, the officials
declared the scheme "a fraud"

AFTER the defeat of Shamrock
Sir Thomas Upton decided To lay
up his racer here this winter and
expressed his willingness to arrange
for another series of races next
summer for the Americas cup, but
the New York yacht club, with its
customary curt and dictatorial way
refused to entertain the proposition,
which, it seems to us, true sports
manship would prompt any fair
minded body to accede to. So far
as the superior sailing quality of
Columbia is concerned, both Col
umbia and Shamrock are so evenly
matched that the success of either
is due solely to careful and very
skillful handling. The chances are
that the Shamrock would be mate
rally improved in speed on her
second seasons sailing (Which is
the case with most sailing yachts)
and with this in her favor she
would be a dangerous craft for Col
umbia to sail against. This is the
way the New York yacht club looks
at it, too. If that club could only
emulate little Of the fairness and
liberality of the Boston yacht club
how much higher it would stand
in the estimation of the American
people and our yachting fraternity

THE people of Brevard will be
pleased to learn of the decision of
the county commissioners to work
the county convicts on the roads.
At times we have Jail full of ne
groes serving out sentences for
months at a dead expense to the
county. If put at hard labor this
class of people will not be so liable
to commit crimes that put them in
Jail. Heretofore the negro has not
cared much if he was convicted,
he had plenty to eat and drink and
a place to sleep while serving out
his sentence; in fact it is probable
that such an easy existence has
led many of them to plead guilty.
The county roads should receive
considerable benefit from their
work in a years time.
