LETTER TO A. E. SHuRTLEFe. SOUTH
phRIS

Dear Sir: Suppose you are going to
paint house, and ask all the painters
there are within reach to bid on it-you
to furnish materials, they to say what to
use, and charge for time and the know
how.
How many will use the same paint?
They, generally, will compound their
own paints.
There will be no two alike. And this
is the end of the notion that painters
know how to make paint.
They know how to put paint on; and
that is their business.
They ought to know what to buy.
How many of them know what to buy?
A blacksmith buys nails, because
better shoes and nails than he can
make are made for less than he can
make them for-by machinery. Wagon.
makers buy wheels because better
wheels than they can make are made for
less than they can make them for-by
machinery.
Why should painter make his owr
paint, when he can buy better for less;
We take the risk of how it turns out
besides. Devoe lead and zinc is the
paint; lasts twice as long as the average
painters paint-lead and oil.
Yours truly,
80 +. w. DEvoE & Co.
PSF. p. Stone sells our paint.

Portland Advertiser: Here is para
graph for the boys and 1 hope a good
many of them will read it. Three days
ago / stood one morning for many min
utes and listened to the dainty song of a
goldfinch. Clad all in bright yellow and
glistening black he sat some fifty yards
away perched on the dead limb of a
tree, and poured out ripping melody,
sweeter and wilder, more joyous and
free, than the song of the highest-priced
canary which ever languished in a cage.
The same day l saw two boys armed
with air-guns shooting at birds. They
told me they aimed at nothing except
English sparrows, but 1 doubted not
that with them a bird was bird and
that they were not particular what they
hit. The next morning my goldfinct
was not there, and some other boys told
me that these two young malefactors hae
killed him and captured his nest, which
they showed to me just as it had been
taken from the tree, with three tiny egg
l in it,

vIRULENT CANCER CURED.

Startling proof of wonderful adj

G.. W. Roberts of Elizabeth, W. Va
An old man there had long suffered with
what good doctors pronounced incur
able cancer. They believed his case
hopeless till he used Electric Bitters and
applied Bucklen's Arnica Salve, which
treatment completely cured him. When
Electric Bitters are used to expel bilious,
kidney and microbe poisons at the same
time this salve exerts its matchless heal,

THE UNIVERSITY.

Col. Wm. Herring has insisted on the acceptance of his resignation as chancellor of the territorial university, and yesterday was his last day of ser vice in that position. The retirement of Col Herring from the board of regents will be cause for general re- gret. He is peculiarly fitted for the position; his distinguished ability and dignified manner has had much to do in raising the standard of this insti- tuition. He has devoted much time to the university, which he needed in his profession, and while all will regret to see him retire, still all will thank him for the good service he has ren- dered to the university and to the ter ritory.
 Word comes from Phoenix that now that Col Herring has severed his connection with the university there will soon be a general shake up of the board of regents of that institution | It is said that Zabriskie is anxious to be continued on the board, but that the governor has determined, since Chancellor Herring refused to serve longer, to make a clean sweep.
 The report in Phoenix is that Win field Scott, a retired chaplain of the army, residing in Maricopa county. will be made regent, with the under standing that the others regents will elect him chancellor. The Governor is anxious to try the experiment of putting some one not a resident of Tucson at the head of the governing board of the diversity. He thinks this will have a beneficial effect in knock. ing out any local favor.
 ! It is also announced that J. M.. Ormsby. assistant cashier of the Ari zona National Bank, of Tucson. will be appointed a regent within a few days. A hard fight has been made on Ormsby by w. S. Sturges and oth CT republicans of Tucson, but it Is given out that the governor has ig nored it and will name Ormsby, who will be kind of deputy chancellor to act with old Chaplain Scott.
 It Is also understood that the ten ure of President Adams of the univer sity is secured. The governor has personally investigated the manage ment and approves it.

BIG MINING DEAL.

A big mining deal was sprung rath- CT unexpectedly on the mining men of the old pueblo today. The Orc Blanco property has been disposed of to Pennsylvania capitalists thruogh the agency of J. B. Owen. The purchas- CTS are also said to be interested in the Banner camp, in the Sieritas. The consideration named in the deed wa s6O, ,OOO.
 The Gro Blanco is one of the best konwn and oldest properties in Pima county. It is located in the Arivaca district, about seventy miles south of Tucson. It consists of a group of three claims, as follows: The Gro Blanco, Parallel and Extension. The claims are situated in the Gro Blanco mountains. The property was located about ten years ago by J. w. and E. o. Began and William P Perry, of Gro Blanco. Like so many of the prospectors of the territory, these men have hung on to the property and gradually developed it into one of the wonders of Pima county.
 It is a low-grade gold propos tion. but the ore is free milling. Consider able development work has been done
 on the different claims, and a fine body of ore, twelve to fourteen feet in width, has been opened up. The ore is said to average $20 to the ton.
 The group was bonded some time ago to these Pennsylvania people, but the bond was just taken up today, The new owners will start extensive development work at once.
 There are any number of fine gold prospects in this same district. and the sale of the o Q Blanco will give an impetus to further investigation in that section.-Tucson Citizen.

ent strike has nothing to do with the matter of wages paid the miners, as the wages were liberal and afforded
 no opportunity for controversy. The operators would have it appear that the question at issue, when brought down to its last analysis. is simply a question as to whether the operators or the miners union shall dictate the line of policy to be pur- sued in the management of the mines.
 But the people want to know what
 wages are being paid miners. and
 Bishop Fallows, of Chicago. is in a position to tell the truth on this point. The Bishop recently completed tour of investigation through the mining districts, and his report on the matter of wages can and will be accepted as authentic. He says:
 The miners figure as to wages are far different from President Baer's. Baer has insisted that the average days wages for the 26,270 men working in the Reading mines is S1.S9. This would make the aver age annual wage s296.20, but Mir. Mitchell can prove that it is really only $24S. Out of this must be taken a total, in round numbers, of s100 for rents. powder. oil and the annual fee to the company's doctor, leaving but $14S for food, clothing and fuel"
 Is there a working man in Fl Paso who could support family on s296.20 a year? Is there one who could make $14S buy food and clothing one year for himself and wife, not to say any thing about the children and their It is a disgrace to Ameri- can manhood and a shame on our civi- lization that men who have accumula- ted fortunes on cheap labor and pro tected industries, who live in luxuri- ous palaces and travel in private rail- road coaches should ask the men who are making their fortunes for them to live and support their families on $14S per year.
 The big mine operators have a mo- nopoly in their business; they make princely profits out of their mines and should be willing to pay their em ployes enough to afford a comfortable living. But they do not propose to do it and it would only be right if the government would assume control of every coal mine in the country Times

N. McMillon returned yesterday from the placer grounds of the Dos Cabezas Gold Mining Co.,, and reports things looking very favorable They are now sinking for water and have struck a good flow. They expect soon to have sufficient water for all pur- poses and will commence to erect their machinery very soon and start to work the ground in earnest. The machinery is a late invention for saving gold and has been thoroughly tested in very unfavorable localities with satisfactory results, and on as inviting field as Dos Cabezas there can be no failure.-Willcox Range News.
