Miners Are Enjoying Greatest Harvest III ii.
History Of the District.

Port Townsend, Wash, May IA
Returning Dawson passengers on the
Victorian, which arrived from Skag-
way report that the miners of the
Klondike are enjoying the greatest
harvest in the history of the country,
owing to the abundance of the surface
water, which is being utilized in sluic-
ing the dirt taken out during the
winter months, and the yield Of yell
low metal will exceed the best expec-
tations of the mine-owners.
The Victoria reports considerable
excitement in the north, caused by
the smallpox epidemic, and various
settlements are taking every precau-
tion to check and wipe out the dis
ease. At Skagway mass meeting
was held, the Indians were driven
out of the city. and a strong guard
was placed around the town to prevent
their return. Nearly all sections are
in quarantine. Every stranger arriy-
ing is held up and inspected.

THE ARTILLERY ARM.
Secretary Of War wiII Insrssss il to Its Full
Strength.

Washington, May I3.- secretaf,
Root is a man 70 whom vide discre-
tion in the matter Of interpreting and
administering the laws might have
been given. This is shown IN his de.
termination TO increase the artillery
corps at once 10 it's full strength,
Congress, in its abject fear Of criti.
cism, placed provision in the bill
which looked as il the artillery corps
Of the army was to be increased only
20 per cent each for five years. But
the men who drafted the bill knew
what they were doing, and when il
came out as law it provided that
not less than % per cent should BE-
raised the first year, and not less than
20 per cent each succeeding IL months
until the full strength OF the artillery
was reached Secretary Root inter
prets the mot less" TO mean that he
rs not prevented from making the en-
tire increase at once, and SO he di-
rected that it should be done.
This is very good thing. No
branch OF the military service needs
men SO much as the artillery. The
fortifications and the equipment Of
the fortifications with valuable guns
has been far in advance Of the in
crease of the artillery. In the Spanish
war congress was induced to increase
the artillery from five to seven regi-
ments, and the last congress was in
duced to make the increase to is, 0OO
men, but with an intimation on the
wording of the bill that the increase
was to be made only gradually at 20
per cent year for five years. Every
coast state, every state where fortifi-
cations are needed, and where they
have been erected will applaud the
action OF Secretary Root, as it means
more heavy artillery, and fortifica-
tions already in place and fortifica-
tions to be erected will have artillery
placed upon them, and received the
care of trained and efficient men, a
care that very valuable defenses have
not received during the past three
years.
Another thing where Secretary
Root showed his judgment was in
constituting the stupid provision OF
the Spooner amendment to the army
bill, relating to the Philippines.
There were two amendments, one pre-
pared by Senator Spooner, giving the
president authority to control the
Philippines, and Senator Hoar Sc
cured the adoption OF another regard
ing franchises, which would prevent
anything from being done to improve
the condition of the islands. Soon
after the Philippine amendment was
cabled to the Taft commission, a
reply was received showing that
If it was adhered to strictly, it
would mean great hardship to the
people of the Philippine islands.
After mature deliberation the sec
retary decided to allow the regu.
lations for the cutting of timber
which the Philippine commission
had enacted to remain in force and
not to be interfered with by the Hoai
amendment to the army bill. II
would have been we'll, perhaps, te
give the secretary some authority in
modifying affairs in Cuba, for he has
a way of making such notifications
of the best interests of the government
and the people who aregoverned.

An angry mob OF about three hundred city en-
ployes has been beseging the City Hall in New
Rochelle for more than week. Mayor Dillon has
been unable to pay them, owing to the lack OF
money in the funds reserved for that purpose
Several times the mob has been so clamorous that
the police cleared the building. Yesterday the
pressure was somewhat relieved by Mayor Dillon
who having received the OF $4,000 from the
sale of some certificates of Indebtedness began to
issue drafts 20 the Mayor Dillon told the
men that Columbus ODonnen 1selin was much to
blame the delay. He said that the investiga-
ton and mandamus proceedings started by MI

That the world may be drowned
again in December, l9Dl, as it was

sibility now considered by astrologists
and students of the occult. The pos.
sibility is based upon Babylonian
tablet written thousands of years be-
fore the star of Bethlehem shone upon
Judea's flocks and ages before the
twentieth century was in line of evolu-
tion. Its significance lies in the fact
that in that month Capricorn will be

Senator Burns has introduced in the
Council a bill that will strike death
blow to the leasing system in Mohave
county, should it by peradventure be-
come a law. The bill, among other
features, provides that miner or la.
borer on mine or mining claim shall
have lien on the mine for all labor
performed on behalf of the lessee or
other person or persons operating the
mine, and that no notice by the owner
of the mine shall exempt the mine or
the owner thereof from the payment of
miners and laborers wages incurred by
the lessee or others in the workings of
the mine. If this was the law no mine
owner could take chances on bonding
his mine to an individual or corpora
ton unless the bondee gave bond for
the payment of all employees to be
worked in the exploitation of the mine
How many prospective purchasers
could be induced to come into a coun-
try where this order of things was in
force? Not one. The bill must be
killed or the mine owners and the
miners will be the sufferers from it.
We believe that Mr.. Burns intentions
IN the matter were good, but he has,
possibly, never considered the wide
reaching consequences of such a meas

Arizona's Copper Field,

In quoting and commenting upon a
paragraph printed in the Los Angeles
| Mining Review, the Arizona Blade, of
Florence, Ariz., gives expression to
some statements of fact that should be
carefully noted by all who are seeking
investment in copper properties, The
paragraph which the Blade quotes
from this paper is:
"Mr. Heinze has been dabbling in
figures. He is quoted as saying that
if the copper market holds up and he
is not held up during the next four
years he can take 20,0JU,000$ profit out
of the ground in the Butte district
(Montana), and at the end of that time
be among the largest producers of cop
per in the world Mr. HeinZe should
get down into Arizona, and then be
could easily double those figures with.
in his appointed four years time"
Here is what the Blade says in con-
nection with this;
"The concluding sentence in the
foregoing is a correct statement. There
are tons of copper in Arizona to pounds
of the yellow metal in the Butte dis
trict. But we have not been so fortu- !
nate as has Butte in interesting opera
tors who control colossal amounts of |
syndicated capital. II the same amount |
of money had been expended in mine
development and equipment, in one of
the many copper districts of Arizona. /
as has been expended in the Butte dis |
trict, the owners of it would now be |
taking out of the ground 20,0OO,OO1S |
profits, not in four years, but each and |
every year. Arizona's possibilities in
profitable copper production can
scarcely be hinted at without the ap-
pearance OF eXaggeration, so great and
so numerous are here copper veins and
deposits. Here copper belts are not
only far greater in surface area than
are those of any other state or territory
of the known world, but the mineral
is more uniformly distributed through
out this vast area than it is elsewhere.
and they are of higher grade. From
five TO twenty per cent. ores are the
rule, not the exception, here. The for
mer is classed as low grade ore by our
miners and prospectors and it is not
deemed worthy of serious attention.
But in truth, it is high grade ore when
compared with that of the great divi.
dend- paying properties of the world.
The great dividend paying mines of
Lake Superior district average under
three per cent. In 1898 the ore worked
from the Atlantic mine only averaged
O.15 per cent, yet paid a net profit Of
lS,36604S, while ores worked from the
Franklin group averaged only 1.4I per
cent. and paid a net profit Of 7l,4s7s.
The same year the Butte mines we're
at profit, 21s to 3 per cent.
ores. Such ores are treated as waste
here, and the mineral area of PinaI
county is literally plastered with them.
The same is true of other portions of
Arizona. If the Lake Superior people
can make money mining this class of
copper ore several thousand feet be-
low the surface, they could quadruple
their dividends by transferring their
capital and surface equipments to Pi-
nal county, or any other part of Ari.
zona."

The big oil gusher at Beaumont,
Texas, is still pouring out its oily
flood, and provision has been made
for the preservation of its entire pro.
duct. 1t is stated that it is low in
gravity and that owing to the presence
of sulphnrated hydrogen it cannot
be used as fuel oil, nor is it fit for
Illuminating purposes. The eastern
oil companies are decrying the Texas
product and may detract from the
value of the new field.
