The gold held by the Bank of France
is now the largest sum ever held by
that bank, amounting to 47S,00J,OOOs.
1t is considerably under the sum held
by the United States treasury, how
ever, which on the first of this month
reached 504,O00O005 and passed all for
mer records. England holds l83,000,-
COOS, France 47s,OJ0O00s, Germany 1885,
0O0,O0J$, Russia, 3I5,0o0,000s and Aus

COOS, of which nearly one.third, or
504,O D. y,000s is in Uncle Sans strong

increased by 74,Ov0,O00S, chiefly from

1t was an honest man that charged
the county 120s for two thousand bill
heads reasonably worth l5s, was il?
Mr.. Sc. Charles was the industrious
author of that magnificent charge.
Even the charge OF the rough riders at
San Juan pales into insignihcance be.
fore this wonderfully bold and daring
charge. The author says we ought not
to give away these things, that the peo-
pie will get onto the fact that big
charges we're made and that it would
ruin the printing business in this coun.
ty. Well, there is little chance for
Kean to be ruined when board of
supervisors gratuitously presents him
with 80s per month for doing nothing
"Why," said Kean, to the editor Of the
MINER, when the board gave to him the
printing for 1901 at his own figures,
"did you expect the board to give you
anything when you fought them all
through the campaign? OF course they
would give you nothing. But you had
no business to put In so low bid; the
people will find out how cheaply print
ing can be done and the printing bust
ness will be ruined"

Chicago is not only rotten In the

a non.union workman on the street
II man cannot speak respectfully to
another on the street of Chicago the
laws of the land are dead letter. This
judge enjoined the strikers from
speaking with the non-strikers at the

In the eastern states there are hun.
dreds of mining companies that claim
to have mines In Arizona that no Ari.
zonan has ever heard of. These com.
panies 10 the main are fake and should
be denounced by the newspapers of
the territory. We have one Of the
richest mineralized territories in the
world aud there Is no necessity of
foisting fake mining schemes on the
market. A legitimate proposition in
the end will net the promoter far more
than he can get from fake PROPOSE
tion and we believe that crusade on
this class Of promoters will put them
out Of the business. In Mohave coun.
ty there are mines of gold, silver and
copper that can be made to pay we'll,
IL capital could be induced to take
them up and properly develop them.
These mines can be had for little or
nothing.

Mohave county would become one OF
the greatest mining counties 10 Ari
zona II oil could be had for fuel pur.
poses or II an electric plant was In.
stalled In the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado. The absence Of cheap fuel
makes mining aud milling costly az,
fair and this fact operates against the
placing of mines that otherwise would
be considered very valuable. There is
no doubt that oil lexists In pay ing quan.
titles, but 1t is hard to convince mon
eyed men Of this fact and get them to
put in money to demonstrate the
theory.

1t now appears more than certain
that the striking skilled laborers of
the east will lose the fight. The mills
of the trusts are being filled and are
starting up with good forces Of men.
This fact demonstrates the uselessness
of strikes where an unwieldly body of
men are to be handled. The men who
we're at first rampant for strike are the
first ones to go over to the enemy
when the thing looks dubious for its
success. If the strikers had remained
tirm, refusing to recede from their
original position, there is no doubt of
what the outcome would be, but de-
fections from the ranks has caused the
men with families to stop aud reflect
that they might be left without work
and cold winter almost upon them,
while the traitors were enjoying good
position at good wages, and they are
willing to avail themselves of the first
good offer.

There are folks who delight In gos.
siping about other folks, especially of
those who stand higher in life, socially,
financially and In every other res pect,
says an exchange. They are like the
fox that did not notice its own tail,
but found fault with that of its neigh
bor; there are a few of this kind living
not over a thousand miles from this
place, that would do themselves a
great favor by making little change
in their tactics. Thus they would
probably be better appreciated by a

To my Friends and the Citizens Of
B0ssier.

Doubtless many have observed
that I have not mingled with the
people during the past eight or
nine months, and some may have
thought it strange.
l wish to say to all who are in
terested that have been in poor
health the entire year, and con-
fined to my home the last five
months, being unable to do any,
thing except write a few letters.
Only those who know me init
mately realize what a trying Or
deal this is to one of my social,
optimistic temperament.
| am glad to state that through
kind nursing and attention and
the watchful care of my physi-
clans, I am improving slowly.
l am deeply grateful to the ones
who have visited me; to others
who have sent kind greetings,
and last, to those who remember
ed me while assembled around
the Triangle.
And, as ''Hope springs eternal
from the human breast" so Ihope
to take, at no distant day, my
place again in the social and bus
mess world.
Your humble servant,
L. T. SANDERS.
