Refuse to Arbitrate.

Over at Prescott the com mittee ap.
pointed by the miners union, the en-
Dloyers and the citizens, to settle the
differences existing between employ.
ers and employees, have failed to agree,
the miners refusing to arbitrate. Some
time ago employers offered scale of
wage under the eight-hour law and the
miners in turn refused to accept any
thing but unconditional surrender to
their scale. Many mines in conse-
quence were closed down and the bus
mess men of Prescott took the matter
in hand in an effort to adjust the diff
ferences. For time it looked as
though there would be an amicable
settlement, but the miners refusal to
arbitrate puts the matter just where
it was when the strike was first or
dered. Now the employers give it out
that they will resume operations on
their properties and that no discrimi
nation will be made against union or
hOh uhiou uulucts VI idoOicts, duu tuht
no interference with the operation of
the mines will be tolerated. This means
that the fight is now on between the
union and non-union forces and trou-
ble may be expected all along the line.
Arbitration is the only method of set
Ting the differences between the la
borer and employer and it should be
resorted to on all occasions. The pres
ent difficulty will cost the miners of
Yavapai county, as we'll as the employ
ers many thousands of dollars and
when settlement is had it will not be
far from what would be the Judgment
of a board OF arbitration at the present
time. The one bad feature of the
trouble in Yavapai county, as far as
the miner is concerned, Is that all the
mines concerned in labor troubles are
non productive and claim 20 be un-
able to pay higher scale than that
offered. By all means the unions
should arbitrate II they are in the
right they need fear nothing from a
tribunal of their fellow citizens and il
wrong they have no rights in the prem
ises.

o. d. M. Gaddis visited the Cedar
Valley country last week, taking in the
two big groups of mines during his
stay in that section. He reports the
San Francisco mine to be improving
with every foot of development and
that in his opinion it will soon be one
of the greatest producers in the terri
tory. Unfortunately the Cedar Valley
company, owning the old Arnold
group, has not developed sufficient
water for mining and milling purposes,
but the mines are very rica and will
justify the expenditure of large
amount of money in the search for a
big water supply.

The promiscuous shooting off of
firearms on the streets of Kingman
must be stopped and in doing so the
courts must fine the gun man heavily.
Kingman has no use for gun men aud
the sooner they are checked up the
better it will be for the community.
The other evening, while large num-
Der of people we're on the street. an in-
dividual came out OF a saloon and
fired his gun twice and then dissp.
peared within building. He was lat
er arrested. A heavy fine will break
this class of men Of the gun habit, and
should they not have the money to
pay month or so on the rock pile
will make them think of the conse-
quence when they have desire of be-
coming bad.

ore is being taken. The vein is about
thirty inches wide and the rich ore lies
on each side of the main ore body.
The whole mass makes rich concen.

down for ten days pending repairs of
the boiler. As soon as this work has
been completed the mill will again be

Uncle Sans Growing Navy.

If the United States needed new navy
before the Spanish American War there
is unuuestioned need of a stronger naval
arm now that we have extended our sea-
coast line to an enormous degree by
reaching out our protecting arm over the
partially civilized archipelago of the Phil
ippines. If we ever engage in hostilities
the chances are many to one that we shall
be compelled to depend very largely upon
our war vessels to decide the fate OF our
battles. Canada is the only power of note
that could make war upon the United
States without the aid Of a feet OF war
vessels. and the chances of n struggle be-
tween our Canadian cousins are very re-
mote indeed. Future wars on the part
Of this nation. which 1t is to be hoped
NAV be few and far between, will depend
unon our naval strength, therefore, and
the contingencies we have already faced
since we became a nation among nations
should warn us that in our case, Won
Moltkes famous saying that the surost
way to secure peace Is to be prepared for
war, is particularly true.
In view of these considerations 1t is
gratifying to note the marked growth of
our sea power during the past few years,
1t is only n comparatively short period
since we began our new navy and yet
in view of the prestige we gained during
our short sea conflict with Spain few Of
our foreign friends could afford TO look
upon our fleet of war vessels with disdain,
According to the report of the chief OF
the bureau of construction and repair OF
the American navy we have no less than
b2i vessels Mt for service, with forty-fye
in process of construction and twenty
three unfit for service We now have ten
battleships of the first class, one OF the
second class, two armorod cruisers, four
teen protected cruisers, fourteen large size
cunboats, one armored ram, four single
turret monitors six double turret moni-
tors, twenty-one gunboats under 500 tons

spector of rife practice. During the sum
mer months the companies have shot for
the trophy cup now held by Barre and

by Captain Burnham and the winner of
the cup announced
The rife practice has been retarded
somewhat this year because of the issue
of the new guns and the lack of am
munitiou. On the other hand the trip of
the team representing the regiment to
Sea Grit, y. j., stimulated the work and
many are already making an effort to

sitions on tho team next year. 1t is prob
able that more men will be taken to Sea
Grit next season than were sent this
