The End of Aspen.
Phoenix Republican.


 For the thousands Of miners in Ari- zona who formerly lived and worked in Colorado, there will be a touch of sad ness in the news that the recent slump in the price O: silver will prove the final blow to the life of Aspen. The dispatches from that famous camp re- late that at the present price of silver not a mine in the camp can be worked at profit, and almost the entire popu- lation of the town must give up old associations. many of them of a life time, and seek other places to make a livelihood. Every outgoing train car ries people who have forsaken their homes there, being unable to sell them new start in life in other sections Of the country.
 Aspen has been known heretofore as the greatest silver mining camp in the United States, and at one time the greatest in the world. The city is sit uated in a pretty valley surrounded by three huge mountains, which abound in the white metal which may never see the light of day.
 During the bustling days of 1887 to 1893 Aspen boasted of population of l5,000, but today scarcely ,50O remain. After the panic Of 1S9293 and until 8 few weeks ago, all Of the large prop critics have been worked under lease and the miners made a little better than wages, while silver was between 90 and 60 cents an ounce.
 Many families are reduced to desti- tuition, tie head of the household hay ing held on too long in the hope that turn would come and the mines be again able to pay.
 It is certainly distressing to old-time mining men of the entire west to read the obituary of what was once the richest and greatest silver mining camp on earth.

 A Los Angeles report is to the effect that the Bisbee West Mining company has not given up the plan to supply Bisbee with water according to the franchise granted by that city. The report states that the legal difficulties have been got out of the way and work on the water system will begin early in the coming year.
 A strike took place in the smelter of the Calumet & Arizona company at Douglas, AriZ., on the 18th instant, because the company would not pay the wages customary in other smelters in Arizona. The management only offered them g. 50 per day and the night shift had to work about thirteen hours. The result was that the furn- acc men, smelter men, converter men, All Skllleu WOrkIncuj dll HdlhSu Out.

Pearl Hart Paroled.

Phoenix Republican,
 Pearl Hart, the notorious female bandit and stage robber, was paroled yesterday by Governor Brodie on the recommendation of the board Of con- trol and the superintendent Of the ter ritorial prison, the conditions of the parole including an agreement on her part to make her residence outside the boundaries of Arizona till after the term of her sentence shall have ex- pired. Rosa Duran, who was sent to the prison from Yavapai county, No also paroled. Her crime was grand larceny. more speLTncaiiy described as rolling a man. There were similar recommendations to the governor also in her case.
 The story of Pearl Hart is familiar to all residents oi the territory who came here previous to 1899 and to a great many other people all over the world who read the Sunday magazines, for she has had more free advertising than any we~tern woman who has broken into jail for long time. But there are others who may not have a newspaper acquaintance with her.
 In the spring of 1899 she lived in Phoenix, but did not travel in the best society and suddenly dropped out Of sight. A few months later a stage was held up between Globe and Riverside and a considerable sum of money and one or two valuable watches taken from the passengers, two or more of whom were men. The passengers as- serted that one of the robbers and the directing spirit was a woman who held gun on them while her consort lid the touching. The story was hardly given credence, but Sheriff Truman of Pinal county and his posse followed the trail to a place near the Southern Pa cifc railroad and there arrested Pearl Hart and Joe Boot with the plumber still in their possession, or at least the most of it. They were taken to Tucson and later to Florence, tried and No vember lS 1899, Pearl was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary.
