They are at least deserving of Sc
we're condemnation.
Every legitimate mining propo-
sition in Arizona will suffer from
the work of these nefarious schem-
ers, and every mining man going
East for a long time to come, will
have the bad effects of the Vulture
deal to contend against whenever
he attempts to interest capital in
an Arizona mine. We trust that
every paper in Arizona, and espec-
tally those which carried advertise

pany, will give the company and

notoriety deserved. Willis B. Troy

THE SURVEYOR. GENERALS OFFICE

The Tucson Post SAYS: Owe
agree with the News-Herald that
the majority should be accommo-
Dated and it is for that reason
that the Post believes the SURVEYOR
generals office should remain here
The country tributary to Tucson
embraces the great mines at Bis
bee, the lifton-Morenci districts,
Washington districts, Tombstone's
great mining interests, Helvetia,
Mammoth, La Fortuna and the
King of Arizona districts, the Ajo,
Galluros, the Silver Bell and Qui-
jotoa, the Sierritas and the great
mining regions surrounding Flor
ence.
"There are no mines in Maricopa
county to speak of, and the only
consideration in the removal OF
this office is the mining districts OF
Yavapai, Mohave and a little strip
of Coconino near the Grand Can
yon.
"The argument of the News Her
aid then is that the people of Yava-
pal, Mohave and Coconino consti-
tute a greater number than the
population of Pima, Santa Cruz
Gila, Graham, Cochise, Yuma and
Pinal counties. It is the mining

YE MERRY CHISTMAS TIDE.

Wednesday next will be the
1901st anniversary of the birth of
Christ. Ever since the primeval
man celebrated the day by drink
ing of the fermented juice of the
ahbo tree and presenting his wife
with a necklace of cave bear teeth,
the day has been celebrated by civ
ilized nations. When Christ was
born, the seers appropriated the
day, and since then we have OBJ
served it as the anniversary of his
birth, and it is well. Christmas is
time of youth. We try to forget
the trials and tribulations of the
year almost gone and look ahead
to the new year with heart full
of hope-and an empty pocketbook.
AS Christ made the Great Sacrifice
for the good of mankind, so we in
the same spirit make our little
sacrifices and remember our friends
with some gift.
The Santa Claus of the north
is pictured as hale, hearty
and we'll fed saint, with a
girth which would do credit to a
corporation bondholder, and driv-
ing q reindeer team. While we
have never been fortunate enough
to see the Arizona saint, we imag-
inc he has charge Of pack outfit
and that the apex of his convex
corporosity is not as noticeable as
that of his northern brother. How
ever, it matters not. Christmas, in
ou1 mind, is always associated with
turkey, cranberry sauce, oysters,
pie and other seasonable delicacies,
which, though seldom seen on a
newspaper mans bill of fare, are
known to him through reading the
papers he receives in exchange
from more fortunate brethern. We
haven't made enough in the past
year to buy feather duster, let
alone a turkey, but, thanks be to
God, down in Phoenix we have a
mother who always saves place
at the table for us, and Tuesday
night, the Fates permitting, will
see us headed south, hitting a trail
redolent with culinary Odors.
And while you are remembering
Christ, don't forget u.s. The heel
of our stocking is gone, but if the
past is any criterion, the toe is of
ample capacity to hold all the sub
scriptions we will receive.
The news-herald., 1901-12-21

these counties are to be found the
greatest mines in Arizona. In va
vapai you have the United Verde,
the Crown King, Crown Point and
Congress; they are your mines, the
others are prospects. Here IN our
portion of the territory we have
the Copper Queen, Old Dominion,
Clifton, Buffalo, the Detroit Cop
per Co.'s mines. We have also
the King of Arizona, La Fortuna,
Silver Bell, the Pride of the West,
the Worlds Fair mine, Helvetia,
Rosemont, the Ajo, the Common
wealth-all great producers Of bull
lion"
One would think to read the
Post that there were but few pros
poets and scarcely any mines in
this section of the country. The
Post says the United Verde, the
Crown King, Crown Point and
Congress are the only mines in
this section Of Arizona, or in the
part tributary to Phoenix. The
Orc Grande is a pretty fair pros
pect. The Octave produced 105
pounds of bullion last month,
which, in this part of the territory,
entities it to be ranked as a mine
however, it is only a prospect, &C
cording to the Post. Let alone
prospects, how many mines in the
section nearer Tucson than Phoe-
nix that produce 105 pounds OF
bullion per month? We haven't
the space to name the many pro-
ducing mines of Yavapai county,
which, despite the Post, are in ex-
istence and making money for the
owners. Brother Smalley says
OWE have the King of Arizona
and La Fortuna" The warm
Tucson weather must have warped
Brother Smalley's map out of all
semblance to Arizona if it makes
the King of Arizona or La Fortuna
nearer Tucson than Phoenix. Bet
ter get a new map and study
the geography of the territory a
little better.
It is not the old and established
mines which make business for the
surveyor-general's office SO much
as the prospects which are just de-
veloping into producing mines,
These are the ones which supply
most of the work for the surveyor
generals Office, and Yavapai and
Mohave counties and the country
tributary to Phoenix can show
many more Of this Class than can
Tucson. The records Of the office
are evidence enough. For the past
year two-thirds of the business
done with the surveyor-general's
office has come from the territory
tributary to Phoenix; that is from
sections of Arizona nearer and
easier of access to Phoenix than
Tucson. Tucson has land office
and Prescott has one, but there is
only one surveyor-general's office
and that should be located in
Phoenix.

WicKenburg, Ariz., dec. 21,10O1
THE VULTURE FIASCO.

In the last issue of the New Eng
land Journal for Investors, the
Vulture Gold Company and it's
promoters are shown up as one of
the biggest and most daring swind-
les of recent years, and one which
will do no small amount of harm
to legitimate mining in Arizona.
In the article mentioned, A. Chest
er Beatty, an expert who examined
the property, has the following to
say concerning it:
II examined the property in the
spring of 1899, making a prelimi-
nary examination and taking a few
samples at that time. I subse-
quently examined the property
very thoroughly in the fall of 1899
and found in both cases that some
one was trying to salt the samples;
in fact l had quite a joke on who
ever was trying to do the sailing,
as left some sacks filled with coke
which were just about the same
size as the sample sacks I used for
ore, and the man who was doing
the sailing did it in such a crude
manner that he actually salted the
coke so that it ran $18 ton in
gold. Of course when I made the
examination I had my assayer and
assistant with me and found there
was big tonnage of ore that ran
$1.50 and some of the ore in small
er blocks would run from 81 to Sc.
Leo Won Rosenberg also says in
the same article:
"The chief promoters of this rotten
fake are: Willis B. Troy, 66 Broad
way; H. William Stevens, Sc
Broadway; Paul Weilbacher, 25
Broad street and r. Weilbacher, 25
Broad street."
"Willis B. Troy was mixed up
once before in swindling game as
a member of the bucket shop firm
of Troy, Tobin & Company, who
were raided for swindling on the
18th or 18th of September, 1897.
Magistrate Crane of the Tombs Po-
lice Court, denounced the swindling
game of that firm as the most das-
tardly he ever heard of and Troy
confessed to being a thief. See
New York Evening Sun of Septem-
ber 16, 1897"
Several months ago the News
Herald began an investigation of
the methods of the Vulture Gold
Company, which satisfied us that
the company was fraudulent and
working one of the shrewdest and
most rotten swindles everperpetrat-
ed in Arizona. Further inquiry
by interested parties elected no
satisfactory response and early in
November the News-H Herald de-
nounced the company as either be-
ing fraudulent or worthy of suspi-
cion. Further investigation has
convinced US that Troy, Stevens
and others have successfully work
ed a very shreWd swindle. We
hope and predict that every man
implicated in the deal will suffer
for his rascality. The "Vulture
Gold Company" was incorporated
last spring and given that name
with the sole intent to deceive the
public. They never have had any
semblance of title to the Vulture
mine, simply having held long
time option on it, and in giving an
option of this character and one re-
quiring no work, the New Vulture
Mining Company, the owners of
the property, have certainly rend-
cred themselves liable to the sus-
picion of having had hand in the
6eal. This suspicion is in no wise
a1layed by their action in allowinr

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
randmOtherS never thought OF using
anything else for Indigestion and Bill

they seldom heard of appendicitis, ner-

They used August Flower to clean out
the system and stop fermentation of

is all they took when feeling duh and

ate in accepting the Cuban amend'
nent to the army appropriation bill,
prepared by Senators Platt of Connect
icutt, and Spooner of Wisconsin, which
removes the necessity for an extra ses-
sion OF congress President Mckinley
has at no time desired an extra session
and he only recognized that one would
be necessary if this congress failed to
assume its share of the responsibility
of definitely stating the relations that
must exist between this government
and that of the Cuban republic. and SO
Informed senators and representatives..
He is also the more pleased brcause he
had been led to believe that this con-
grcss would not take the desired ac
tion, and only Il few days ago t|iat was
the belief of nearly every one in WASH
irgLon. Not little of the credit for
the satisfactory ending of this matter
is due to Senators Platte and SpoOncr.
They had faith that the desired end
one else did. and to their faith and un-
tiring energy is due the Cuban amend
ment. which Senator Beyeridge de-
scribed as the greatest piece OF con
structlve craftsmanship connected
with our war with Spain. SO well did
they do their work in laying down the
conditions in the amendment that no
criticism of the work was made by any
opposition senator. The conditions
which the Cubans are asked to comply
with are only those which would nat
urally occur to any patriotic Ameri
can, and it is not surprising that no
democrat has dared to openly criticise
them. 1t is expected that the Cuban
Constitutional convention will agree
to conditions. but even if it doesn't, no
extra session of congress will be nee
essary, as the Cubans will know that
Americn control OF the island will CON
tinue until they do.
Asarule the democratic senators
were cOntcnted to state their opposi-
tion to the amendment to the army
appropriation bill, authorizing the
president TO eSIdUllSIl auu main Idli Il
civil government in the Philippines.
Senator Turner was a striking eXcep-
tjop. If his advice had been followed
there would have been a tillibuster,
and Senator Teller and the populist
senators were disposed to join in filli-
buster, but good sense, together with
the fear that the river and harbor and
other appropriations in which they are
interested would fail, prevented any
thing like an organized tillibuster,
and the opposition contented them
selves with making speeches of which
they will probably live to be heartily
ashamed.
An examination shows that Presi-
dent grant came within one member of
starting his second administration with
the same cabinet he had at the close
of his first, Just as President Mckinley
will do: also that President Grant was
the first reelected president who re-
appointed the holdOver members of
his cabinet at the beginning of his
second administration. Why he did
