CAPTAIN BELLAIRS.
New York Sun Says He Is an
Ex-COnviCt and Swindler.

According to our esteemed, our
more than beloved, contemporary,
the New York Sun, it seems to be q
crime for q man to reform. They
state that Captain Bellairs, for
some time resident of Wickenburg,
but now ? =? ?, is an ex- x-convict, and
are wasting no space in an effort to
work his ruin, apparently in order
to overthrow General Wood. Ad-
mitting that Capt. Bellairs is an ex-
convict, there is no question but
what he has occupied a prominent
position in newspaper and political
affairs during the last few years,
and as far as we know, he has been
guilty of no criminal offense since
he came out Of prison, according to
the Sun. Very few men have the
ability to advance as rapidly as he
has done since 1895. when it is
claimed he was pardoned, and he
certainly must have been compare
lively honest to have occupied the
friendly position he has with Gen
eral Wood, General Chaffee, Lucien
Young and other prominent army
and navy officers, to say nothing
about his position as Associated
Press correspondent in Cuba, China
and the PHILIPPINES.
Give credit where credit is due,
and if Captain BeIlairs was in pri-
son, he was pardoned and the past
should be overlooked when a man
evinces a spirit of reformation and
tries to live down the past.

Good mining Schools.

The several Schools Of Mines of
the western states are blessing to
many worthy young men as we'll as
to the mining industry in general.
Through the establishment of these
state institutions it is possible for
q young man to receive a technical
education at home, whereas q few
years ago it was necessary to travel
to the far eastern coast or to a for
eign country. OF course there are
few professionals, graduated from
old Columbia, Heidrlburg or other
old schools, who may feel disposed
to stand aloof from graduates of
western schools, but this feeling is
gradually on the decline. Some
Of the brightest and ablest mining
engineers of the country are gradu-
ates of one or theother state schools
of the west, and each year the list
grows larger and larger.

Bill Williams Fork Claims.

Profrio Noli came up from Bill
Williams Fork a few days ago and
reports that the mines near Planet
are developing into bonanzas.
These are the mines that recently
caused considerable excitment and
upon which work has been carried
on for months past. Mr.. Noli's
claim has an ore body four feet in
width, eighteen inches of whichwill
average over two ounce in gold to
the ton. The other mines owners
Of that country have also opened
up good veins, but the ore is not Of
a shipping grade and they are all
awaiting the erection of q mill on
the river to handle the ores. The
mines are on the river bank and
all the water that may be needed
for a mill can be pumped from the
stream, while wood abounds in
large quantities for miles along the
river banks. The ore carries
small percentage of copper, but not
enought to interfere with its amalg-
amation by the ordinary mill pro-
cess.

HAVE STRUCK WATER.
Some Good Sulphide Ore Also
in the Grand View Shaft.

At depth. OF 100 feet from the
surface, the Orc Grande Explora
ton company have encountered
some water in the shaft being sunk
on the Grande View group. Sink
ing has been discontinued for the
present and a drift is now beingrun
north along the ledge, the shaft be-
ing at the southerly end OF the ore
shoot. There is over five feet of
ledge matter at the present depth.
The ore is a sulphide, being es-
pecially rich in copper along the
hanging wall, in some places there
being punches of almost solid sui
phurets. Where the ore body is
opened up on thesurface, tits much
large and richersome distance north
of the shaft and the company ex-
pect to open up large body of
good ore by drifting in that dir
ection along the ledge. A larger
ledge crops about 100 feet west OF
the one now being worked and it
is probable that q cross cut will be
run to open it up, either from the
present depth or from the 200-foot
level. While the amount of water
encountered is not large and does
not interfere with the work, tits
utilized for many camp purposes
and does away with the expense Of
hauling from town.

"A PACK TURTLE.
ProspeCtor in the HarQua Hala
Mountains Using a Terra
pin for Freighting.
BURROS NOT IN IT NOW.

Editor News Herald This sec
ton was the scene of quite u sensa-
ton Sunday and if what was seen
here then is any indication of what
may be done, the problem Of desert
travel and transportation where
water is scarce will soon be settled.
Frank Midlon, who has been pros
pecting in the Harqua Hala and
Harcuvar mountains for the past
two years, came here Saturday
afternoon after provisions, as he
is in the habit of doing every
three months. Instead of bringing
his five pack burros as usual, Mr..
Midlon came sauntering into town
leading a monster terrapin, the
same dry land turtle as you have
around Wickenburg, only much
larger. According to Mr.. Midlon,
the terrapin, which he calls Jumbo,
weighs about $50 pounds and can
pack from 1900 to 1900 pounds,
according to the roughness OF the
country. Three of Mr.. Midlon's
burros died last winter on account
of lack of feed and water near his
camp and the other two wandered
off, leaving him"up against it,, as
he had to pack his camp water
eight miles to where he is working
in the Harcuvar mountains. Not
wishing to make the long trip here
after new burros, he finally decided
to try terrapin, and after us
ing, he says he would not trade
Jumbo for dozen burros. Two
holes have been bored in the edge
of the upper shell on each side, en-
abling pack to be securely tied on.
After spending Sunday morning
packing some Of the boys around
town, just to show what Jumbo
could do, Mr.. Midlon left that after
noon for the Socorro mine to have
Jumbo shod by blacksmith Ed.
Towner.
He returned yesterday afternoon,
bearing evidence Of Towners skill
in the shape Of four sole leather
shoes, studded with hob nails. Mr..
Midlon loaded up with his usual
supply of grub, amounting to over
700 pounds and after securing it
tightly with the ordinary diamond
hitch, started back to camp yester-
day afternoon, Jumbo apparently
not noticing the load of700 pounds
any more than the empty pack
saddle. The distance to Mr.. Mid
Ions camp is about 35 miles and
he says he can make the tri = loaded
in about five days easy travelling.
If the supply of terrapins lasts,
there will be no further use for
burros in this section, as the ter
rapins can go without water for
two months or more without suff-
ering any Inconvenience and little
hay or grease wood once a month
is an ample supply of food. Mr..
Midlon said he had no trouble at
all in breaking Jumbo and that
when he camps at night he simply
ties both legs on one side together,
so that if he tries to get away he
walks around in a circle and makes
no progress.
This district is liveniAg up con-
siderable lately. The electric plant
has been installed at the Socorro
and the wiring is about completed.
Aboutseventy men are being worked
and the mill will be started again
in a short time. Send me your
paper at Harrisburg. Ed. Towner
is rip-roarin and says he don't get
his half the time.

CONFISCATE THE coal.
Effort viii Be Made to Stop
Practice of Railroads.

1t is quite likely that an effort Will be
made by the coming legislature to put
a stop to the habit Of the railroads of
condscstiRg coal en- route to local coal
dealers whenever the railroads happen
to need it, The railroads have frequent
ly done this whenever there has been a
shortage, but it has never been done to
the extent that it has this winter, nor
has It been the cause of SO much danger.
Whenever complaints have been made
against actions Of this kind by railroad
companies heretofore, il has always
been argued that the action has been
justified. because if the railroads do NOT
have coal they viii not be able to move
their engines to haul in more coal or to
move any other kind of freight.
There IS considerable weight to this
argument, but at the same time it IS not
believed that wholesale confiscation by
the railroads is justified, such as is COM
planned of this winter. and the coming
legislature VIII probably try TO place a
limit ON c0nfscation.
