Most people find winters in the temper

The old union soldiers are disappear
ing rapidly. They are dying at the rate
of about 10000 annually, which means
that the grand army" which accom-
plished such a great work in the civil
war will soon be wholly disbanded. 1t
could not well be otherwise. Most of
the boys in blue were young men, but it
is 40 years since the conflict was in full
swing. and that space of time makes
quite a difference even to the man who
was youth in the war. The falling of
in the number of the veterans is also
shown in the decreased amount of the
pension disbursements.

In his recent notable address on the
relative educational activity and prog
ress in Great Britain and the United
States Sir Norman Locl1yer gave new
version of the maxim, TRADE follows
the flag" After pointing out how much
more money is invested and expended
in higher education in this country
than in Great Britain, he said: TRADE
follows the brains" There is large
element of truth in this, because
American brains carry trade in many
quarters where the flag does not go.

Not an UItimatum.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 21.-Some APP
prehension having apparently been
created owing to misunderstanding re-
garding the precise meaning OF Bull
garia's last note to the powers, explana-
lions have been given to some diplo-
matte agents here that the memorandum
was not intended as an ultimatum, but
was rather in the nature of an appeal for
the Intervention of the great powers be-
fore that intervention should be too late.
The Bulgarian ministry, 1T was stated,
was determined to maintain its attitude
Of neutrality up to the last moment, but
it feels the impossibility OF standing by
Indefinitely while the Turks exter-
minated the Bulgarian element IN Mace
donia. The governments position is
rendered increasingly difficult by the at
LOT in
Bulgaria, which, vigorously backed up
by the revolutionary committees, is per-
sistently endeavoring to force the gov
ernment's hand and provoke hostilities
with Turkey.
War Not Imminent.

10 occupy Bulgarian territory, hence Tur-
kew has nothing to gain by hostilities.
Regarding the renewed rumors that

is officially announced that as Balkan

STA and Austria such action is not contem-
plated by Great Britain, or SO far as
known, by any other power. In the

ing communications with the view OF

BLACK ROCK nINE,.
Considerable New Work Is
Being Started There.

J. x. Murphy, who has charge OF
the work at the Black Rock mine,
was in town Monday and reports
everything as coming along fine at
that camp. Eight men are now
being worked and commodious
cook and bunk houses are being
erected for the accommodation of
the large crew which will soon be
put on. A fifty-tWo horse power
hoist will soon be here and sinking
on the Olympia claim will be start
ed. A cross cut tunnel run some
time ago cuts this ledge at q depth
of about two hundred feet, showing
from two to FIVE feet OF high-grade
ore, the assays running from few
dollars to over six hundred in gold
to the ton. Considerable drifting
has been done on the 200-foot level,
showing up a fine body of free
milling ore, while q winze shows
some sulphide ore carrying high
values. Considerable of the surface
ore was arrastred several years ago
when the property was owned by
Mr.. Murphy and James Cochran,
and the returns were more than
satisfactory. There are six claims
in the ground being developed by
the Black Rock Mining Company,
two and a fraction being on the
Olympai ledge and the others on
parallel lodges. A. D. Bellinger Of
West Superior, Wis, the president
Of the company, is here and work
will be pushed as fast as possible
The ground is now being graded

TRANSCONTINENTAL.
Wiclkenburg Nay Soon Be a
Division Point.

The preliminary surveys for the
proposed railroad to be built to the
Colorado river from the S. F. P. &
P. are about completed and it will
not be long before the officials will
decide what route. Surveys have
been made, one to leave the main
line at point between Wickenburg
and Congress Junction, running
thence southwesterly down through
McMullen's valley as far as Tyson's
Wells, and from there northwest to
q point on the river somewhere in
the neighborhood of Parker on the
Colorado river Indian reservation.
The second line is surveyed from
the same initial point down as far
as Cullen's Wells and from there
due west through the Cunningham
pass in the Harcuvar mountains
and ends at the same point on the
Colorado river as route number one
The third survey starts from the
same point as the others and goes
straight toward the Bill Williams
river over an open county all the
way to Franconia, on the Santa Fe,
near the Needles bridge. This will
be the easiest road to build as Chere
are no grades on it, with the ex-
ception Of about six miles where it
crosses the Bill Williams at q point
below the Striped Canon, and it
can be built very rapidly The
fourth survey leaves Hillside
station on the S. T. P. & P. and
runs thence southwest down in
the Santa Maria country, along the
Santa Maria and Bill Williams
rivers to & point near Parker.
Which survey the company will
adopt Of course is not known, but
if it is decided to start from the
point between Wickenburg and
Congress Junction, which is more
than probable, Wickenburg will
probably become division point on
account of its unlimited supply OF
good water. All of the surveys run
through some Of the finest mineral
section IN the territory.

flame and one can hardly believe
it anything else from this distance.

quainted with Arizona and it's

hardly believe that poppies could
be seen SO far, distance of nearly
one hundred miles, and if we had
not know different, we should have
thought the reddish yellow color
due to prairie fire, but there is not
enough dry grass in that section
for fire so we attribute it to tho
