It was stated yesterday by gentle man who nds information that 1t is believed can be relied upon that work will be resumed at an early day on the Ray mine under a new manage ment. The mine was recently ex- amiuod by an expert and it Is reported that on the strength of the examina- ton the owners have secured a million dollar loan and propose to make such improvements and alterations in the plant as may be necessary to begin operations on big scale. The com pany will still maintain its store and it is understood that L. Zeckendorf & O., of Tucson, will restock their Ray store and prepare for large business. Republican.
 Ex-President Harrison's condition is reported to be very critical. His physician says that his mind is not so clear as it was yesterday and there is nothing that offers any encourage ment.

THE OLD SILVER BELT SOLD.
A Famous Arizona Mine.

Yesterday the Silver Belt mine was sold for a handsome figure, and will now be worked in modern manner The Journal-Miner is creditably in formed that this mine is to pass to the Queen of Arizona Copper O., to be operated in conjunction with their other properties.
 The Silver Belt was discovered about thirty years ago and was worked when Arizona silver mines were world renowned. It is estimated that the product was about S600,000 before the decline in silver effected its opera tions. There is gold and copper in the ores. It is unquestionably one oi the greatest mines in Central Arizona, and now that it has passed into the hands of good mining operators, it should soon commence to pay divi- dends. Some of the ore shipped ran 5000 per ton. We have seen the certified smelter returns of the last 300 tons of ore taken from this noted mine, and it showed a gross value without lead of S47,000, or nearly Sl75.00 per ton. If the lead values had been counted the average would have been close to S200 per ton. A heavy flow of water coupled with the decline in silver caused the mine to close in the heighth of its prosperity The ore bodies are large and rich.

ATTACKS THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

The Evening Standard, of London, in commenting on the English govern ment's refusal to accept the senate's amendment to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, makes the following attack on Monroeism:
 "Now that the republic is taking an active interest in the worlds politics, the time has come when the fiction that the western hemisphere is to be guarded as a close preserve for Ameri- can enterprises, should finally be ex- ploded. English interests are quite as paramount as these of the sister states, and it cannot be long before the attention of the continental powers will be more directly drawn to the commercial possibilities of the dor mant southern half of the continent
 To man up tree it looks like not only England but all the European powers had about all they can all look out for and handle at the present time without meddling too much with that most sacred doctrine to the hearts of all Americans, the Monroe doctrine. Should England, or any other power tread too heavily on the tail of this quiet looking animal, it is most certain that they would find out where the fiction" comes in, and the explosion" referred to, might occu in the bubble of conceit of same, oi those European egotists.

 No step has been taken by either side since the delivery of the British note treating of the senate amend ments to the -Pauncefote treaty, and it is understood that none will be taken in the immediate future. The treaty expired March 5, and it is stated positively that before this government decides as to whether or not it shall enter upon negotiations for new treaty with Great Britain, an effort will be made to learn the views of senators and party leaders in con gress.

of Kiss between these two who loved each other 50 dearly.
 And the train was speeding east ward.
 Ah, that was a marvellous world into which Deronda went-a world where one wore dainty clothes from dawn till dawnI A world where the chief function of the women was to charm that of the men to serve with the most exquisite courtesy. And the need of ad@ miration she received. when her west ern dresses had been discarded for beautiful gowns, was new to her Very sweet it was, too. To be sure, she had
 known what it was to have young men besiege her for dances and hang upon her words. But in one case those who had given her tribute were clumsy and rough-handed country boys. The men to whom her later environment intro duced her possessed that indeinable air of breeding, of culture, of distinc- tion which can be neither bought nor acquired. And she found the melody of trained voices at the opera sweeter than the triple note of the meadow lark-the scent of hothouse roses more delicious than the perfume of wild clover.
 And so, too, she discovered entrapce- ment in the homage of Eldred Wier. Not that in his case there was the pos sibility of comparison She had never been touched by the attentions of her former acquaintances. There had not been one who attracted her. When she came east she was quite heart whole and fancy free. But missiles-the gentlest of missiles-wel directed, did their deadly and delicious work. Per haps these would not have been 90 promptly effective, even if hurled by Dan Cupid's unerring hand, had Deron- da realized that she was the bright par ticular star of the season. Had anyone told her that her piquant, golden-brown beauty, her unconscious air of aloof ness, her repose, begotten of prairie life and placid daily duty, had won for her higher need of appreciation than was usually accorded to a newcomer in an exclusive coterie, she would have opened her serene gray eyes wide in smiling incredulity. All the girls had admirers. Almost all the girls had lov- CTS. But-not one of them had such lover as Eldred Wier.
 One month passed-two-threel And always there were the same tributes always there was the same direct per l sonal deference. Theaters, dinners, flowers, bonbons, gloves, afternoon visits, rides and drivesl Always the same low, intimate tones, lingering hand-pressure, the magnetic allure ment of impassioned eyes! Then sud- denly it seemed-it was time to go home. Time to go back to the dull lit- tie town, to the rooms over the depot, ] to the horde of clamorous children. Eldred Wier was the last to leave the Pullman. Hisworshiping eyes devoured the beauty of the shy, expectant face. His hand held hers in close and tender clasp. He bent his head. He spoke in tone that thrilled her.
 "You know-you must know that I love youl You know, could have my way, would never let you go!"
 Then the train began to move. He was gone.

Five years later there was a tremen- dous rush of travel westward. The Ne braska town of Wymore was one of those caught in the vortex of impetu- ous pleasure seekers Although there were many health seekers, too, bound for the solacing serenity of Colorado or the golden glory of California. A splendid summer day was waning when 8 snorting train disgorged its myriads on the depot platform. A young man, nervous and haggard of aspect, helped an elderly woman to aight. With scant show of patience he hurried her into the waiting-room.
 "I tell you I've got to leave you for awhile" he declared, testily. I've letter to present to one of the eastern officials of the hoad. His private car is due here now. I'll be back as soon as I can" Heedless of her whimpered ob jections he hurried of. A tall, beau tiful young woman, most charmingly gowned, attracted the observation of the throng as she came down the wait ing-room. She noticed the woman sit- ting alone, and evidently in distress.
 "Can l be of service?" she inquired, pausing.
 The traveller, in apparel too elabo- rate and youthful for her years, looked up into the gentle face of the speaker. Her wrinkled cheeks were chalky under their rouge, and her false curls and bonnet were awry.
 "No," she shrilled. needless of hear CTS. "No one can help me. broughtit on myself. Me, worth half million, to go and marry that young whipper- snapper, that leaves me here like bale of goodsl Not even drink of water"
 The young woman brought her a glass of water, set straight the disOr- dered hair and bonnet, and famed the agitated old face, talking pleasantly the while.

 If it wasn't for this young lady, Eldred-" The resentful vail was cut short by a sharp exclamation. White as death Eldred Wier stared at Deronda Leighton. She looked from him to the shriveled old creature on the seat. So this was why he had never written had never come! This was why she had fancied her heart was broken, until "a better man drew nighi'
