ADJUSTMENTS.

The subject of Captain Hobson's lecture is ''The American Navy, Its Tradition and Victories The lec- ture is described as a very interesting one. The Winfield, Kansas, Courier speaking of his lecture, says:
 He seems to have made that his life study, and the history, particularly naval, of his country is at his fingers ends. Some might even deprecate his enthusiasm, his ideas are so large, and his belief in the power and the great, but enthusiasm creates enthus- iasm, and when he cites history to prove that the American Navy, though comparatively small, is the only navy that never suffered defeat: when he tells of the growing commerce which must in time to come be dependent on the navy, his hearers are forced to be- lieve with him that ours should be the greatest navy on the seas. He is also optimistic on the subject of American devotion to principle, which he proves to be far greater than the love of money. He hopes to see the time when the Monroe Doctrine shall have crossed the Atlantic, and China shall be opened up as Japan was opened up, not as India was, and Africa is being conquered. When that mighty navy comes, America will have power to dictate peace to the world, with the mighty arm of her navy.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

c. A. Cooley, president of the Ideal company of which mention was made in these columns few days ago, left for his home in Boston today after a few days spent in this section. While here arrangements were completed for the extensive development of the property belonging to the company besides the property on Groom creek known as the Blake property, which has just been bonded by the company and on which work has just begun, three shifts having been put to work yesterday. This property will be de- veloped as fast as three shifts of men can do the work and gives promise of being a fine proposition. Mir. Cooley is greatly in love with Yavapai county and will probably be regular visitor to this section now as he has become so vitally interested in the develop ment of our mining resources. This is the kind of men the Journal Miner likes to see become interested in this country, men who have money and who are willing and ready to take hold and develop our wonderful min ing industries.

The big pump of the con- pany is throwing out an immense vol ume of water constantly but it makes but little effect on the quantity in the mine. It is stated that the company will shortly install pumps of very much greater capacity.

Consumption is a human weed flourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young; when old, sometimes inn possible.
 Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear.
 The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest.
 The time to treat consump- tion IS when you begin trying to hide 1t from yourself. Others see it, you won't.
 Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begln With the hrSt thought to take Scott's Emulsion. If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget 1t and be better for the treatment. If 1t IS consump- ton you cant expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treat ment you will win.
 ScOtt's Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment.

PHENIx BOND ELECTION.

On April b the City of Phenix will vote on a proposition to issue bonds for a new water works system to be owned by the municipality. There is at present very good water system owned by private corporation, which supplies the city's needs. In fact the system is said to be one above the average, while its rates compared with that of other cities are said to be req sonable and not exorbitant. The Journal Miner has no special interest in the Phenix water works but if it had it would certainly oppose the bond issue.
 Prescott's experience with munich pal ownership has certainly not been of a nature that would induce one to endorse such a proposition, as it has been constant source of expense to the city ever since it was first started. It is true that considerable unneces- sary experimenting has been done one of these experiments being the ex- penditure of S14, 900 received from the sale of the old city ball, in a hole drilled in Goose Flat. A very large proportion of the money, however, has been judiciously expended but the re- suits have not been by any means beneficial to the city.
 In addition to paying a good water rate, the city has been compelled to take money raised from taxation to pay interest, the system never having been self supporting.
 Were the capital city just starting its first water system, it would be we'll to consider well the step before talk ing it, except that was the only means of securing a water supply. Or were it proposition to secure control of the present system, there might be some argument used for the issue of the bonds But to inaugurate water system in opposition to one already established, and to enter into compe- tition with it looks like the height of folly, viewing it from this distance and with the experience of Prescott fresh in our mind.
 An investigation into the details of the working of the Prescott system might furnish some valuable pointers to Phenix voters.
