4 SOUND MINERS OPINION
 OF THE EXPOSED REEF

IL is ways interesting to size up an Old-time property in our field, and to be able to draw conclusions leading to a resumption of operations One of the best practical miners in Bisbee. rman who has rambled over the Hua- chucas and worked in this country for years, asserted yesterday that the Ex- posed Reef could be made a paying mine. It was opened up and operated by men who never had the necessary practical experience. and consequently was nou4what one would call a star. spank'e success. This gentleman said that the Reef company, instead of putting in a standard stamp mill, in stalled a roller system, and a poor one at that That furthermore, they un- ! dertook to run the whole country through the little old mill, instead of ! sorting their ore That the ore was well adapted to concentrating, that it | ould be concentrated in an open chute running down the hill, and that there was no reason why the property could not be handled successfully. We would like 10 see these old properties | in the HuachucaS opened up and oper- ated in a way that will advertise the district favoraby. The Huachucas have been peculiarly unfortunate in that respect While numerous in-
 stances of successful chloriding enter prises can be recorded in the district, the company operations have almost invariably fallen into incompetent
 hands, and as regularly as one went
 under, the reputation of the unhappy
 Huachucas became more murky. Now
 thanks to the confidence and judgment
 of such men as Mitchell Joe Rogers
 and. above all; JoelPalmerlee. the Hua
 chucas will be shown up to the mining
 world in their true light

MINERS WAGES, HERE
 AND ELSEWHERE.

bNO GG0C
 We have had individuals-we can't call them men-to suggest that we should not mention the wages miners receive in Arizona, as it might deter capital in certain instances from in- vesting in mines in this section. When capital cannot pay standard wages to American miners, sufficient to support and educate their children, we fail to see how such capital is any benefit to the community. The fol- lowing advertisement appeared yester- in the Star. of Tucson:
 Miners and timbermen wanted for California Wages for ten hours work: Machine miners $500, hand miners S250; timbermen s300. Good men an obtain steady work all the year round"
 Wouldn't that jar an Arizona miner? The idea of a good man" answering such an advertisement as that. The Arizona miner gets his s3.5O for eight hours; an average of s4 is paid for sinking, timbermen and all others paid in proportion, living does not cost them $500 more per month. and the mines which emp oy them are declar- ing larger dividends than any low paid enterprises on the coast
 This speaks well either for the qual- ity of our mines, or the cheerful, husky. scientific muscle of well paid men, or perhaps both. Lowgrade mines may find it advisable to utilize low-grade labor. but it is with pride we observe that both are high-grade iD Arizona

MT. Tyler, a New York mining man, has been stoi ping several days in Bis bee, and imparted several of his i'm pressions to us yesterday regarding g our district We stated in advance that we were properly swelled up over the mining outlook in Cochise county, and asked him if he thought we could overdo the mater. He replied, from the standpoint cf an outside mining man, who had travelled extensively of late, that We certainly had right to swell, that we had wonderful mining field. but diluted his encomium some what by saying that in his opinion most outlying, undeve,oped proposi- tions were holding their properties en- ;ircly too high. He visited the Mod ern, but did not go down, but eX' pressed himself as highly pleased with the surface prospects.

mixed, especia ly since the head pro motors in both instances bear the hon orable name Of Joe" Joe Palmerlee is manager of the big Huchuca Con solida ed Development company, while Joe I1efehvre is chief rustler around the Huachuca Gold Mining company's property. Both Joes were in Bisbee Monday night. Joe Lefebvre was on his way 10 Fl Paso, where the heads of the company reside. Joe Rogers is the general manager of the company, but is just at present up to his ears in politics, and cannot visit the Huachucas until after the city election in Fl Paso. We have never had the pleasure of visiting the Hua- chuca Gold property, but we have heard good reports from it all along. It is a gold proposition all the way through, and specimens exhibited would indicate that, on the surface at least. the ore is distinguished for the presence of quartz containing hemati;e iron and free gold in coarse form. MT. Lefebyre states that they have attained a depth of over 100 feet, and the val ues are greater than ever, but have now assumed the form of suphurets. They have several shafts and tunnels on the property. The Huachuca Gold, as We shall hereafter call it, to distin- guish it from the Huachua Con-, is on the head of Ash canyon, about thirty miles west of Bisbee, and several miles south of the Hauchuca Con. MT. Le- febvre expects the directors to hold 2 meeting while he is in E iPaso, when p ans will doubtless be laid for the more active development of the prop erty.

WORK WILL BEGIN SOON

E. A. Mcfarland, assistant manager of thei Colorado and Arizona road, which is known in Sonora as the Can anea, Yaqui River and Pacific, was in this city last evening, stopping at the Copper Queen hotel. He leaves this morning for Cochise. where he goes to make final arrangements for the commencement of active building of the road from Coehfse- station south.
 The contractor is R. E. Coleman, who is, at present at Jerome Junction arranging for the shipping of his grading outfit from there to Cochise. Coleman has the contract for grading the neF read from Cochise to the Mex iean line.
 Manager Mcfarland stated last evening that at present he only had instructions to build the first sixteen miles, which will complete the road from Cochise to Pearce, but that he expected daily to receive instructions to complete the entire line without de lay.
 Mr Mcfarland further stated that
Bisbee daily review., 1903-01-03

active work would be commenced at Cochise within the next two weeks, and that the steel for the first sixteen miles was already en route to Cochise and that by the latter part of February the. road would undoubtedly be in op- eration between Cochise and Pearce. The portion of the road from Cochise to Pearce is very easy to build. The country is as level as a floor and as fast as the grader can throw up the dirt, the steel gang can Jay the track.
 Some difficulty is being experienced at the border in getting across into Mexico The company has located an easier grade east Of Naco and wants to cross at that point, but the citizens of Naco have raised an objection which appears to have been sustained by the Mexican authorities and this question remains unsettled.
 It is the general opinion that the road will be pushed through to Topo- lobampo, and then extended north passing through Solomonville and on to Clifton.

[ Yesterday evening when Constable Casad went to feed the prisoners in the city jail on o. K. street he found i, them fighting for the few blankets that are provided for their use. They have about one-fourth of what is needed, and were quarreling over them in order to decide who should spend the night without covering of any kind.
 The new city jail will do away with the inconvenience to which officers and prisoners are now put Under the present condition of affairs it is impossible to keep the jail in any. thing like a sanitary condition. Sev. eral times the officers have refused to put in men arrested on account Of the filthy condition of the jail
 Contractor Williams, who is build ing the new jail. says that the arrival of the doors and windows means that work will be resumed at once. He has been waiting for over a month 10 proceed. Recently the city coun. ell granted him more time in which to finish his contract.
 Tt will take us about thirty days to complete the city jail" said he yes terday. The doors and windows have to be built into the masonry. or we would now have all of the jail com pleted and ready to put in the doors and windows.
 The new jail will be one of the best in any part Of the territory, though not as large as some of them. All of the partitions will be solid rock. and there is little fear of any of the pris- oners breaking out
 The new jail is to cost the city nearly s2.500- They were a long time awarding the contract, and the jail is long time being built The off cers in this city are patiently waiting until it is placed at their disposal

STRANGE STORY
 ABOUT TREASURY
CITY CLERK kINsEY SAYS IT WAS RECOVERED NOT LONG AGO
Three Strange Mexicans Came During Night and Next Morning Traces of Their Work Found on San Pedro

Three Strange Mexicans Came During
 Night and Next Morning Traces of
 Their Work Found on San Pedro
 City Clerk Kinsey told yesterday for the first time about an affair that occurred a short time ago near his ranch on the San Pedro river. It in wolves treasure that was buried many years ago, but which was not dug up until recently.
 Clerk Kinsey did not learn about the affair until he went out to the ranch few days ago to attend to some pri- vate matters. Yesterday he told the following story:
 One night the people in the neigh borhood Of a farm on the San Pedro river were disturbed by the fierce barking Of their dogs at di :ierent inter- vals throughout the night, and it is reported that a woman living close to the road leading through a small pas ture on the property was badly fright ened by the sudden appearance of three strange Mexicans at the corner of her COW lot during the evening be- fore. One Of the trio was very old and travelled in a slow feeble manner.
 They spoke to the woman in Ian guage she could noJ understand, and after few minutes passed on toward the river.
 The next morning wood hauler. while out hunting his ponies, found an old coat and hat and an old brok- en lantern close to the bank of a ra- vine. Attracted by lot of human footprints leading down the bank, he followed the trail and came upon a broken pick at the foot of the ravine,
 The pick was covered with wet clay, showing that it had lately been used, and was lying hid away among a pile Of rocks that had been removed from the mouth of a small cave un- der ledge of oyerhanging rock
 This man and others examined the place later in the day and found de cayed pieces of leather with old cop per srads or rivets through them and Q large pile Of rust that had been 1 faked from some kind of an iron yes sel
 The closest kind of an examination failed to reveal what the diggers had found, but there is an old legend to the effect that at the time when the Mexican troops were in this section there was a pack train coming to them with money to pay off the MeXi- can soldiers, which headed for the range of mountains west of Bisbee. They were SO closely pursued by a band of outlaws that they divided their train into two sections. One section was captured and the other one day later on the divide between Bisbee and the San Pedro river.
 Neither party had any of the funds when they were captured, and the out laws supposed that they had buried it during the course of their flight. The old settlers in that neighborhood claim there has always been parties of treasure seekers searching these hills, and believe that the Mexicans have at last located and made away with the buried treasure
 A party of ranchersa tried to trail up the diggers the next evening. but lost the trail. The presence of the old man with the party leads to the belief that he was a member of the pack train that buried the treasure .''

Success has attended the regulation
adopted in Washington which prohib-
its splitting on the sidewalks and in
the public buildings of the District of
Columbia. The penalty for a viola
ton of the regulation is a fine of not
less than 81 nor more than $40. The
police are now engaged in warning
offenders that splitting in public plac-
es is in violation of law. For a period
Of so days this warning will go on
without any arrests, and at the con-
clusion of that time every person
caught splitting will be hauled into
court. The law is one that might as
readily be applied to Rock Island and
other cities in the interest of sani-
tary conditions as well as public
cleanliness.

A Loss to the Senate.

New York Sun: A beautiful tribute
to former Senator George Graham
Vest, of Missouri, appeared in the
Philadelphia Ledger over the sigma
ture of Senator Z. w. Carmack, of
Tennessee. Senator Vest remained at
his post in the Fifty-seventh congress
although the vital spark in his frail
body was very low. The indomit-
able spirit of the man kept him up, his
intellect burning as brightly as in the
days of his bodily vigor. Whether he
had strength enough to survive con-
gress was a question which his col
leagues thought about with concern,
for there was no craftsmanship in the
estimate of the senator's ability and
sterling personal qualities. One of the
veterans of the senate and twenty
four years a member of that body,
he was the peer as debater and Iegis-
lator of any man on the floor, and to
the younger men he was guide, phi
losopher and friend. He represented
worthily the cherished traditions of
the senate, and would have been ac-
counted man of mark in the days
when there were giants. Mr.. Vest is
now i'll in Washington, and, as he says,
calmly waiting the end.
He is man whom 1 both love and
honor" says Senator Carmack. His
vast fund of information, his great in
tellectual power, his brilliancy in de
bate, his incorruptible integrity, gave
him a place in the councils of the
party and the nation such as few men
have held. The physical debility which
Of fa1 IN hi Trf lint
which left his intellect undimmen and
his devotion to the public service un-
impaired, made him at once pathet-
ic and heroic figure. Though he could
barely totter to his place in the SEN
ate upon the arm of an attendant,
he continued in the discharge of his
duties faithful to the last, and more
than once during the last session of
his service the old fire blazed out from
the dying embers.' Senator Carmack

where the Protection Comes in.

Immigrants to the number of 3S,076
arrived in this country from Jan. 1
until April 10 of the present year. In
the corresponding period last year
26.7S9 foreigners reached our shores
and took up their residence here. 1t
is expected that the record of immi-
grafton this year will surpass all pre-
vious records.
The new arrivals are not fiocking to
the northwest, as was the case last
wear. Most of them are settling in
the industrial centers of the east,
where they will compete with Ameri-
can labor for employment.
1t is not recorded that from Jan. 1
to April 10 a single dollars worth of
goods from abroad was shipped into
this country for competition with
goods protected by the tariff and
which. by reason of this protection,
American manufacturers are enabled
to sell cheaper than the foreign man
ufacturers.
While the consumer is not permitted
to profit from competition with for
eign goods, the manufactures is per-
mitted to profit from foreign labor
competition with American labor.
The tariff protects the American
manufacturer against the competition
of the foreign manufacturer, but the
American workman is not protected
against the competition of the for
eign workman.
Obviously if equity is to obtain each
should have the same protection or
none whatever.

The American demand for English
large vessels are being loaded anG
started for our country as rapidly as
possible. The demand for the cele-

having tried one bottle they have
been convinced of its value and won't

Frank Stanford, who has arrived at
