AN ENTHUSIASTIC VISITOR.
Owen CaIlaghan, Prominent Chicago Capitalist, Returns Home Full of
 Enthusiasm Over His Visit.

Owen Callaghan, prominent citi-
 zen of Chicago, left for his home yes
 terday morning after weeks visit to
 Prescott. Mir. Callaghan is interested
 in the Model Mining company, owners i of the Model mines in Peoples valley,
 and also of the McCabe mine. He is
 also interested in the McCabe Exten-
 sion company and came to Arizona to
 personally examine these properties,
 for his own satisfaction, as we'll as for
 the benefit of his friends. Accompan-
 jed by Judge Reese NJ. Ling hevisited
 the McCabe country, the Congress
 mine and the the Model mine. He
 was not satisfied with a cursory glance at the surface from the back of horse
 but walked all over the country in the
 vicinity Of McCabe and went down into every shaft and opening that he visited so as to obtain as thorough a knowledge as possible of the condi- ton of affairs.
 In conversation with the Journal Miner editor MT. Callaghan expressed his opinion of this part of Arizona Tn very favorable and emphatic terms. Mir. Callaghan is a very genial and pleasant gentleman to converse with, is a close observer and has keen eye for business. Since his visit here he has become so thoroughly impressed with the possibilities of the mining industry of this section that he pro poses to become a sort of financial missionary for this portion of Arizona and secure funds for the development of our resources. He says that there is very great abundance of money lying idle in Chicago, enough to de- velop all the mines in Yavapai county, and if the parties owning it can only be convinced of the possibilities exist ing here he says that there would be no difficulty in obtaining all themoney needed. Mir. Callaghan took a fine lot of ore samples back to Chicago with him as an object lesson to the people there, and he proposes to make o NAlOp1uN OI III OiAC Ol bllC lllOol | prominent windows he can secure near the postoffice or city hall. While . as stated he is interested in the two companies named above, and has great ! faith in them both, in selecting his i samples of ores he did not confne | himself to these properties, as he is broad gauged, liberal minded man and believes in properly representing the entire country. A success in one mine creates confidence in others and the successful opening of any mine in the county is a direct benefit to every other property in the vicinity.
 He was very favorably impressed with the properties of the McCabe Extension and was agreeably sur prised at the substantial equipment on the property for working the mine. Mir. Callaghan occupies a position in financial circles in Chicago whereby he can be of great benefit to this sec ton of Arizona. He expects to return to Arizona soon again.

Fashions for the Stout.

The general run of fashion plates are the despair of those women whom nature has decreed for stoutness, oi whom time has showed with gray hair. Many fashion cuts show an impossible sylph-like form of women everlastingly youthful. The Delin eator, whose long career of success shows that 1t meets the needs of wom- en, contains in the September mum Der a special article, carefully illus trated and devoted to the attire oi stout and elderly women. This arti cle, with its practical, useful advice about fabrics and quantities, will be appreciated by those who are neither slim nor under twenty-one.

DAWN OF A
 NEW MINING ERA.
The Standard Smelling and Re lining Company's Big Concen-
 E trating Plant an Assured Fact in the Immediate Future.
Operated in Connection With Val Verde Shelter Will Give Great Impetus to
 Mining in Big Bug and Adjoining Dis
uictS.

The Standard Smelling and Rein
 ing company, through Douglass, La
 cey X O., its fiscal agents, has con
 tracted with the Colrrado Iron Work:
 for the erection of large eoncentrat
 ing plant on land adjoining the Va
 Verde smelter on the Agua Fria
 The iron works is to make the ma
 chinery, erect the plant and turn ii
 over to the smelting and refining com
 pany complete and ready for opera
 ton. It is expected to have it com
 pleted and ready to start up in Octo-
 Der, as work will be commenced at once. The plant will have a large capacity, and in addition to working the ores from the mines now being operated under the supervision of Capt. l.. D. Phillips, representing Douglass, Lacey & O., they expect to treat custom ore as well, in fact ex- pect to buy and handle all ores off cred them.
 The plant is to be run in connec- ton with the Val Verde smelter, this company having already contracted for the latest improved pyritic smelt- ing process plant to be added to their big smelter, and having ordered and shipped a bricketting machine for use in connection with it.
 The starting of this concentrating and pyritic smelling plants means a revolution in this section in the treat ment of ores as by this process ore can be treated cheaper than by any other process yet discovered. In fact it is stated that the expense of treatment will not much exceed the amount heretofore paid for freight to smelters alone, and it will thus make valuable ores which heretofore have been of practically no value whatever, on account of the ex- pense of freight added to the higher cost of treatment at the smelters.
 The company will commence opera tions at very opportune time, as a number of companies are just com mencing to develop properties in the Big Bug district, largely with home capital, and this will be of the greatest possible bene- fit to them, giving them good mar ket right at home for their ore and giving them a profit on ore which would otherwise have to remain on the dumps of their mines until expen- sive plants could be erected by the various companies for it's treatment. Of course Vhen development has reached a std e on these properties to justify thSerection of a plant it can be done, bu. in the mean time a revenue can be obtained from the ores taken out in developing them.
 Big Bug district is already experi- encing an incipient boom, but with the starting up and successful opera ton of this concentrating and smelt- ing plant there will be given such an impetus to mining that will make present operations look insig- nifcant.
 Yavapai county is just now enter ing upon an era of prosperity and in dustrial progress in its mining inter ests which has heretofore been a sort of dream on the part of many, but the realization of which was scarcely hoped for.

Since the above was put in type death has claimed another victim from the result of the wreck, Engi- neer Robert Pentland dying at noon today. The sufferings of both men are. said to have been terrible and death came to them as an angel of mercy.
 Investigations today at the scene of the accident, it is said, discloses the fact that the rocks which came down upon the track were loosened by a bolt of lightning, which struck tele- graph pole and followed the guy wire down to the ground.
 The death of Engineer Pentland has caused a general gloom and feel ing of sadness in the town as he was an exceptionally circumspect young man, and was universally beloved by all who knew him. Coming here with his parents when quite a small boy, grew to manhood in the town and was industrious temperate and frugal. His untimely death is a severe blow to his aged parents and brothers and sisters, and while the sympathy of the community goes out to them in their sad bereavement it cannot com pensate them for their terrible loss or heal the wounded hearts.
 In addition to his relatives and friends in Prescott, who are over, whelmed with grief at his sudden death, the news will come as a shock to one in a far off eastern city whom he expected to lead to the altar within less than two months and who left here some time since to prepare for the antici- pated happy event.
 Both of the deceased young men belonged to the Red Men, and Fire man Stover also belonged to the Knights of Pythias. The former or der will conduct the funeral of the remains of Engineer Pentland while the Knights of Pythias have taken charge of those of Fireman Stover.

srANpINe ARMY NOT POPULAR.

The United States Volunteer, the
official organ of the Spanish-American
war veterans, does not take kindly to
the enlargement of the standing army
as provided for by the law enacted by
the congress just expired. Whatever
may be advanced as an argument for
large standing army, the fact re-
mains that the professional soldier"
idea does not set well on the average
American stomach. The following is
from the editorial page of the United
States Volunteer:
ut is not in bringing troops back
from the Philippines, but in securing
recruits to take their places, that the
war Office will find its most perplexing
task during the ensuing five months.
Transports in abundance may be had
for cash, of which the government has
an ample supply. But the young men
in this country have never been in
vited heretofore to become profess
sional soldiers of the sort that will be

MEANING OFWoRLD POWER.

Ex-President Harrison, in his "Mus-
ings Upon Current Topics" in the
North American Review, considers
the appearance of the United States
in. the new role of a world power,
and asks what it means. ''In moral
sense" he says. s'we have long been
familiar with the idea that we were
the greatest of world powers, and
1--WE have been power in military
sense on the land for many years and
by spells naval power of renown."
These are not the senses, therefore.
in which the expression is used. A
world power" he finds, seems to be
ga power having the purpose to take
over so much of the world as it can
by any means possible, and having
with this appetite for dominion mill
tary strength enough to compel other
nations having the same appetite to
|allowor divide the spoils." Such. at
least,sis the character of the other
world powers" that make up the
European family. That our initiation
into that family does not meet the
enthusiastic approval
lis evident. He says:
'1f to be world power is to do as
the world powers do, then we must
disclaim this new degree which the
European college of applied force has
conferred upon US. The taking over
of the Philippines has been declared
by those who should know, to have
been casual-of necessity-the ac-
Eceptance of a divinely imposed duty.
The question of the disposition of
them. when their people shall have
submitted to legal authority, is said
to be still open.. All of which is to
say that the acquisition of these dis
tant islands does not commit the
nation to scheme of colonization.
The United States seems thus far in
China to have stood firmly against
dismem berment; not because of the
practical difficulties of allotting the
parts. but out of regard to the rights
of the Chinese to preserve their. ma
tional autonomy. But we are hear
ing now a great deal of the riches and
the strategical advantages which
have come to US with the docile &C.
ceptance of the divine will in the
Philippines, and great deal of ire
sponsible nonsense about our being q
world power. If we allow ourselves
to drift into bad ways, it is quite the
same as if we had sought them.
"The barbarous conduct of some of
the allied forces in China, the shame
less. lootipg of private houses and pub,
lie Institutions, and the contemptuous
and cruel disregard of all the sensibil-
tiles and rights of alien races which
characterize the world powers. shock
our sensibilities. We have almost
more pride in Gen. Chaffee's blunt
letter of protest against looting and
cruelty than in his splendid fighting.
Let us not be world power in any
save the good old sense-that of ma
ton capable of protecting in all seas
the just rights of its citizens, and in
capable everywhere of a wanton in
fringement of the autonomy of other
nations"
