THE MEANING OF GOLD ORE
The Meaning as Given by Modern Lex
 icographers

A general impression prevails, says the Scientific and Mining Press, that any mineral substance containing precious or base metals in any quantity is ore. Modern photographers have given the word a somewhat more restricted mean ing, in which the element of econ omics is an important considera- tion. An ore is defined variously by the several recognized author ities, but, generally speaking, is now accepted to mean mineral substance from which a metal can be extracted at a profit. Accord ing to this definition, mineral containing possibly $5 per ton in gold, but occurring in small quan- tity, and in place difficult of ac- cess, might not be considered an ore, for the reason that possibly no profit would result in obtaining the mineral and extracting the gold, while a mineral containing less than $2 per ton in gold, but more fortunately situated and capable of being treated at a profit, becomes an ore. A change in conditions might make a profit possible in the former case, when the mineral falls into the class of ores. Some object to the expression "gold ores," con- tending that gold always occurs native, and consequently mineral containing it should not properly be called an ore. As gold does not always exist in the native state, but often in combination with other el- ements, and as an alloy. the gen. eral term "gold ore" seems prop erly applicable to all minerals con- taining that metal, with the pos sible restriction at first mentioned. which appears to rest somewhat upon certain conditions of environ ment, and combination with other minerals, making it's extraction profitless.

One Of the most absurd Sltua- tions ever presented in any legis- lative body held the boards for hours on the fna! night of the Twenty-second legislature. After adopting without question items carrying thousands of dollars in useless expenditure, hours were consumed in wrangling over less than $2OO in graft for rural newspa- pers, says the Phoenix Republican.
 More than twelve thousand dol lars had been appropriated for the hire of useless clerks, and job printing steals aggregating nearly two thousand dollars for favored democratic newspapers were ap- proved, but after swallowing the camel the legislature strained at the gnat contained in the petty graft. And to make the situation more absurd, certain papers in va rious parts of the territory were to receive the favor of public money without question, but other papers, without explanation, were to be ar bitrarily excluded.
 As to the larger graft, it is only necessary to point out that, whereas four years ago the printing of the biennial reports of the territorial officials cost but $2,6OO, and two years ago but $2,1OO, this legisla- ture paid $4,5OO for the same re- ports. The extortionate sum of $715 of this amount was for "extra copies of the auditors report"- expenditure for which there should not have been one cent. But it was necessary to "take care" of the democratic printing offices at Pres colt, Tucson and Bisbee
 This whole business of appropri- ating money from the treasury by each legislature for the benefit of newspapers is something of which the territory should be ashamed. In the frontier days, when news papers were struggling for existence, a convenient and perhaps wise method of assisting them in their work of advertising the territory and keeping the torch of civiliza- tion burning was found in paying them for publishing the legislative proceedings. But there is no longer a necessity for this custom. Ari- zona has reached point in popu- lation and wealth from which the newspapers can go ahead on their own merits. Those which deserve to prosper will prosper, and the others will fail. This year the leg islature, instead of recognizing that the time has come for putting stop to this unnecessary expend- iture, took the wrong direction. After providing a fat graft in the job printing at double price for all the principal democratic papers outside of Phoenix, it contracted for Phenix publication to be it's "organ" at $500 for the session, be- cause this excellent publication had no job printing office. Then, in the original appropriation bill, the sum of $500 was provided for the other democratic papers in Phoenix, ''for publishing the legis- lative proceedings" and for all the papers of the territory the sum of SIP or $36 was appropriated for copies furnished the members dur ing the session-$72 for the dailies and $36 for the weeklies. Then, somebody, in the interest of fair play, insisted that if the demo- cratic papers of Ph9nix were to have a donation from the public treasury-one to have $500 for being the organ" of the legislature and the others $3OO-the republi- can papers of Phoenix should be treated likewise, and the bill in

GOING DOWN
 THE COLORADO
Government Officials, Accompa- nied by Indians, Will lnves-
 tigate the Big River.

Captain Edgar Jadwin, of the United States army, accompanied by Captain Jack Mellen of the Col orado Steam Navigation company, arrived in Kingman on Wednes- day last. says the Miner, and to- gether the gentlemen have gone to Temple Bar, whence they will go down the Colorado river in a row boat to the Gulf of California. They had with them several Mo- have Indians, who are thoroughly acquainted with every foot of the murky stream.
 Captain Jadwin has been detail ed by the government to make this trip for the purpose of ascertaining the actual conditions that exist along the river, and if it is feas- ibly navigable. If his report con demns the river it is believed that great dams will be put in at Bulls Head, Mohave Canyon, Parker. and many other places above Yuma, for the purpose of retaining the hundreds and thousands of acres of fertile lands along the mesas and river botoms. Captain Mellen stated that in his opinion the dam at Bulls Head was sure to be con- structed and that work upon it would be under way in less than a year. It appeared to be his opin- ion that the dams would back the water up in such manner that small steamers would be able to navigate the stream for long dis tance above each dam without diff ficulty, and that arrangements for the portage of freight would be re quired at each of these dams Cap tain Jadwin, who will make the examination and report his find ings to the department, is one of the brightest engineers in the ser vice, and is now in charge of the construction of the great break water at San Pedro. It is expect ed by the knowing ones that the Colorado river will be condemned by him as navigable stream, and that under the arid land act Ari- zona and California are to receive the benefit of one of the greatest ir- rigation systems in the world.

The report of a rich gold strike near Bill Williams Fork, in the southern part of this county, is causing considerable excitement, which is rapidly dying out as the facts become known. Fabulous tales of lodges, forty feet wide, as- saying $6O and $7O in gold per ton, dwindled to a six-foot vein running from $5 to $15, were reported, and yesterday Sheriff Henry Lovin, who has just returned from the scene of the digging, and had tests made, told a friend over the tele- phone that the best assay he got out of the ore was $7 ton in gold and copper, while most of the sam ples are nil.

President William Foor, OF the Central

the reports as TO the outlook for the sue
cess Of the game in the Central League
cities. IL polo is a go I'm the Central League
cities and the magnates make money, IL
will be something unheard Of since polo has
been played in the West. During the first
season of polo in the cities now composing
the Western League ii was a losing venture
and the people had to be educated TO the
game. Last year all the cities, with the
exception of Indianapolis. closed the season
with good profits, and from present indi-
cations all towns will make money this
year.
President Foor announced last night that
Z. III. Gavitt. signed by Lafayette. would
not captain the team. as has been the gen
eral opinion. Gavitt is a good man and
will equal the mighty Nipson on the rush
line. These two are by far the fastest men
in the Central League. Both played with
Indianapolis last year.
Richmond is having troubles signing a
fast team this year. The three men who
were thought to have signed Richmond

The referees in the Western League viii

description on the playing floor this season.
When Bannon signs an indianapolis con
tract the local team will be complete, with
the exception of a utility man. The Open

Nov. IL. and Richmond will be the attrac-
ton. Work on the Auditorium rink IL well
under way, and the rink will doubtless be
finished on schedule time. Work on the
