ON THE SIDE, WHAT THE
 PLAIN BOYS ARE DOING


 PLAIN BOYS ARE DOING
 If there is anything gratifying 10 us it is to mention the substantial progress of a private old miner who is trying to do something for him self. Just a little ways from the Modern. Messrs Erickson and Davis and Frank Jones have a lite group, which is looming up finer every day. Alex was in yesterday. They call their group the E. & D. property, and are nightly pleased with the results to date.
 Their destiny is largely hooked up with that of the Modern, which is blooming out like the rose of Saron.
 The Modern has pay streak from eight inches to three feet wide, which runs from 50 to 60 dollars in Gold and about 16 per cent copper. The remainder of the breast in the drift is fully represented by mixed iron and copper sulphurretts. The outlook is encouraging in the Modern.

THE RUAcRucAS. AND
 WHAT THEY ARE LIKE

We have been "jacked up purity plenty of late, to use a frontier ex- pression. for turning the search light of truth on the wonderful mining re- sources of the Huachucas. Just what object our friends can have in asking us to ignore, this baautlsul district is not quite understood. The romantic mountains 10 the west of us shall have an even break in the columns of the Review. for there is TO district in the territory which holds out finer inducements 10 the miner. prOspector or investor, along with a multitude of features which make life enjoyable than the Hua- chas. There is not a thoroughly de yeloped property in the range. but
 as far as work has progressed. the district carries remarkably encOurag- ing prospects. Many properties, particularly gold propositions have paid their way from the leaf mould as far down as the work has been prosecuted The Curtis property has
 been handsome dividender as a shopping proposition. The Eureka and the Exposed Reef have demon strated that there are easy profits in sight with proper management. The Mitchell pool. a combination of Aichi- gan mining thorOughbreads, has seen fit to invest thousands of dollars in Montezuma canyon. The Huachuca, Consolidated is the cleanest cut, best defined uniform, honest gold proposi- ton that has ever been shown up at it's stage of development in the terri tory, and it is nothing but plain duty to bring the facts to the front in the legitimate interest of these honorable and enterprising men who have spent years of time, and thousands in money. and labor without limit to bring their meritorious district to the front. The Review feels the same way about the Chiricahuas, the Ora goons. Tombstone and every mining district in Cochise county.

SOME MINERS AND
 THEIR PEcuLIARITIEs

After all, it is a happy fact that every man is unalterably glued to the conviction that his particular pros pect is diamerically on the belt. sqHarely across the contact" strad- dies the trend to perfection, and has every conceivable advantage in the matter of formation. location, situation and mineraization- He can demonstrate to you by facts, figures and logical deductions which the il-
 lustrious Dana would not dare to question, that he is absolutely in the garden spot of the district, and can't be mistaken. Just over the hill a mile away, another man is in the same happy state of mind, whole souled convert to the theory that he
 has the world by the tail, yet his formation, and general lay out is as different from that of the first man as a COW is from an angel. He can trace the wonder bet from Jerome, Canan- ca, any old place in fact till it accumu- lates underneath his particular spud patch in quality and to an extent never before contemplated by the mining world. Some times he IS correct. We fondly wish that he might always be correct. He is a good citizen, the pioneer, the bone and sinew and patriotism of the grand old territory, heavens choicest bless ing were not misappropriated, should they settle about the shoulders of the noble old miner and prospector, cloth ing his declining days in the habili' ments of financial success. domestic happiness and all things which these factors imply and supply, and in their absence. his unfailing and inde' finable conviction that he has the only thing on earth, is a source of pro sound satisfaction 10 the old boy, and even though he were mistaken he should be permitted to hug the happy delusion to the peaceful end.

COPPER HAS BEEN
 FOUND NEAR FL PASO

This morning Herald reporter was shown a very fine specimen of copper ore from the property of the Pecos Valley Standard Oil Company in the Guadalupe mountains, about seven miles north of Van Horn, Fl Paso county.
 This company has about fifty lOca- tions which are now being developed. the company to go ahead and push de property for some time and is push ing the development as fast as pos sible Several carloads of this ore have been brought in to the Fl Paso smelter, where very favorable returns were received and which encouraged the compan yto go ahead and push de- velopment; in fact. the property shows up so well that the company is now figuring on putting in a railroad from the property to an outside rail road.
 The development of this property has turned out so well that others owning properties in that section have put on large forces of men and are developing their properties. IL has been known for a long time that Fl PasO county contained consider able mineral wealth. but very little development work had ever been done
 Some years ago a number of Fl PasO men took out something like a quarter of Q million from the property near Van Horn. but when the vein pinched on them they gave up the work and since that time until re- gently the mining industry has lain practically dormant Jack Bridges and several others, now. however. are doing considerable work in that yi- cinity-El Paso Herald.
 
 Prospectors will be able this spring on account Of the rains and snOWs Of the winter, to go into the mountains and prospect where before. water has been q drawback to them. Many of them now are getting their outfits together preparing to start out. They are rounding up their burrous and fix ing over their pack saddles. During these winter months they have man aged 10 get work in the mines and have laid up enough money to carry them through their prospecting trip. There are Q number of places in Co chise county that offer a good field for them to spend few weeks and now is the time to look into these sec tions and secure some of the good things that they contain.-PrOspector
 The furnaces of the United Verde Copper company were started up at Jerome yesterday and six hundred men will be put to work This means prosperity not only for Jerome but for Prescott and this entire section of country IL is predicted that when the properties and works are running ful! capacity, this company will have about 600 men at work. Aside from its own marvellous production the fame of Senator Clarke's United Verde mines has been instrumental in bringing more mining investment money into this section than all other causes combined. for the text of al- most every mining talk and write-up of this mining section is taken from the wonderful record Of the United.

Press truly says, it 10 an Interstate
question, which should be taken i'll
charge by the government.
Much has. been done by Congress,
but the entire work should pass into
the control Of the national government
To this end have our people labored long
and earnestly, with gratifying results.
But tIie work must not cease; every
influence should be brought to bear to
accomplish ttis aim. This can best be
accomplished by united and concerted
action, and the proposed convention
would do much to influence favorable
legislation.
By all means let the convention be
held, and make it an interstate affair.
where all interested may come together
for the common cause. Such gather
ing would have great weight in the halls
of Congress.

A Card from Mr.. Mcclure.

Being acandidate for district attorney
it would seem the proper thing to visit
the voters Of bolivar county, and i
would afford me pleasure to, do SO were
it possible. There is nothing more
pleasant than to electioneer among ones
friends. But large part Of. my time il
occupied in the courts-have just finished
a term of court at Indianola on the
the 18th court convenes at Grecnville
for Ave weeks term, and Immediately
following 60 to Greenwood. Thus, it
will be seen, that in Bolivar l must de-
pend on my friends and past record, for
what small time I can spare from the
courts must be. spent! in. in other counties.
Very truly.

The thirteenth annual reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans, held in
New Orleans this week, was the largest
in tile history Of the organization. Elab-
crate preparations were made for their
entertainment, and fhoAsatds of the
gallant old veterans gathered in the
hospitable Crescent City to once again
greet their comrades in arms, many for
the last time. Each succeeding year the
ranks grow thinner and thinner, and ere
many anniversaries pass by but few. will

Government Control of Levees

If the Mississippi were, like the Yazoo,
a Mississippi stream, then it would be
but just and reasonable to expect the
state to care for its waters in times Of
freshets, but when dozen states dump
their surplus waters on MS then we have
a horse of,another color. 1t is unjust to
ask the Mississippi farmers to take care
of waters thrown into this stream by
North Dakota farmers, for example, or
New York mill owners, or Colorado
miners, True, Mississippi farmers and
other taxpayers have long borne this
burden, but it is most unjust and it is
becoming a heavy load to the delta
planters, especially when it is seen that
the entire line oflevees must be raised
The burden cannot be distributed
among the states, and so 1t is proposed
to ask congress to take over the whole
levee business as an interstate matter,
and relieve the delta planters altogether.
The levee system has come doubtless to
stay; no other defense against overflows
is in sight, and The Press sees no reason
why the general government should not
be asked by the entire state to take over
the entire work. 1t is certainly an inter-
state matter, and the poweis of the
river commission should be extended
until it has sole charge Of the entire
course of the levees. The resources of
the general government could cope with
the problem in comprehensive manner,
and eastern Mississippi should assist the
delta people in their effort to transfer
the problem to appropriate shoulders.
Uncle Sam should be asked to assume
the big task which our two ,leyee boards
have borne uncomplainingly.
1t is proposed to hold convention
at some central point next month, and
all parts of the state should be repre-
sented in it. All Mississippi should join
in the proposed effort to relieve the delta
planters by handing over to Uncle Sam
task Of his own size aud that is in
every just sense an Interstate problem
Meridian Press.
The above. coming from one of the
most influential papers Of "the hills, "
is most gratifying. It shows that our
people are not alone in theirf ght against
the mighty Mississippi; thst they
have the sympathy and encourage
ment of all sections Of the state. and
that the eastern portion may be relied
upon to lend its aid arid influence to ac-
complish that for which we have so long
hoped and struggled-national control
of the levee system.
For many years we have borne the
heavy burden OF taxation to redeem the
fertile valley from the Mississippi foods,
and success has attended our efforts.
And now that the leyee system has been
found to be the true solution of the
problem, it must be carried on to periec
ton. To do this will require an enor
nous outlay Of money, almost beychc
