 That intensely democratic paper
 the Tucson Citizen, has the following
 to say of President Mckinley: 1t car
 be said with absolute sincerity that nc
 man ever discharged the duties of tn, chief magistracy who was possessed
 of purer private character than Vii
 liam Mckinley. His private life ha,
 been almost ideal. His devotion tc
 his invalid wife has been a beautiful
 example to every man. His fidelity
 to his friends is becoming an adage He does not go out of his way to pun ish his enemies"

 The Phenix Enterprise says that "one of the ladies of the presidential party while here in Phenix told a friend confdentially, that the party was much disgusted with the Con gross trip which they had been led to believe was but fifteen minutes run from Phenix." Assuming that 7 the above is true, which is very violent assumption, it was worth nine hours of the aforesaid lady's time to get some correct geographical informa- tlon. If she ever thought for me5- nc ment that the Congress or any other mine was within fifteen minutes run of Phenix, the time spent in coming,l from Washington even would be yeIlH spent, and this lady, however muchH she may have been bored by the trip should feel grateful for the informa- tion obtained. The gentlemen con- nected with the party confdentially, privately and publicly expressed \ themselves as having been well re paid for the trip and in fact found it the most interesting experience of the entire trip. f

 A correspondent of the Journal u liner, writing from Bradshaw moun- C ans, as will be seen in this issue. ells ot very important discovery re- entity made there, being that of 7 not only rare but a tI aluable metal. There are a great n lany metals which are considered [ but their value depends ' most solely on their rarity. because r they were discovered iny great quan- Ii ties, on account of the uses to which is ley can be put, being almost as rare in , the metal itself, they would become Dl -actically valueless.
