LATEST BIG GOLD FIND
A Willy PrOspector and His Successful

An interesting story, the truth OF
which is vouched for by a reputable
citizen, comes from a border town Of
Arizona and Mexico concerning the
latest big gold find:
Not very long ago a supposed honest
young prospector drifted into town,

MINING NOTES
News From nines in Various Arizona
Districts.

Philip ContZen, who returned last
week from Harshaw district, where he
has been doing some survey work, said
that the district bore every evidence
of renewed and increasing prosperity.
Several important transfers of property
whereby eastern capital will be brought
into the district, are expected. Har-
shaw was at one time one of the great
silver camps of the country. With the
decline in the value of silver, Harshaw
went down. 1t will be good news to
every one mat the old silver producer
will soon again be paying dividends to
its owners and salaries to a large
number of men. In the Harshaw dis

These properties are advantageously

THE COPPER QUEEH
Preparing to Sink More Deep Shafts
at Bisbee.

If this business of sinking new shafts
is good for other companies, it is prob
ably good for the Copper Queen as
we'll, and it is probable that they will
get into the game shortly. says the
Bisbee Review. Fer some time past
there has been talk of their breaking
ground for new shafts in no less than
three places
One of the sites selected is desig-
mated as on the Uncle Sam claim, over
the hill crest up from the smelter.
Another is at some point near the ice
plant, midway between that institution
and the Gardner. The third point AT
intention to open ground is on claims
in the vicinity of the Bisbee West.
Already the projected improvements
in the vicinity of the Gardenr shaft
site. which we're outlined in these COL
umns some time ago. have geen start
ed, and d few weeks time vii doubt
less see a marked change in this vicin-
ity.
The foundry building near the smelt-
er is now being torn down, and will be
entirely cleared away within a few
days.
The new hospital building is forging
ahead steadily, and will certainly be
a credit to the company and the CON-
munity as well.
One of the newer propositions which
may be classed as in this district is
the Nugget, which is said to have
showings to amply justify its attrac-
tive name. The local officials are
showing some very rich quartz taken
from the property. The seventeen

SOCIAL EQUALITY IMPOSSIBLE

We believe in one God, one dag, the
rule of the Anglo-Saxon race IN Amer
ica--but social equality never.-Latay-
cite (Ark.) Recorder.
Social equality is impossible; it does
not exist among the whites and negroes
and never will. For instance, the negro
who has progressed in life, owns his
home and who is striving to improve his
condition, will not class himself on the
social plane of the niger who is hew-
er of wood or a ditcher. The distinction
is marked. The white man, for instance,
who is n laborer, a common toiler, OF
limited requirements, will not pretend
IN ane or associate with the man OF high
culture and wealth, but he will be con-
tent in his own sphere. Such a man
would feel embarrassed and out of place
at social entertainment where the
"bontons" would be at their best. ne
social equality, that equality which wor-
ries some. niggers, may be accepted by
Roosevelt, but no sensible negro VIII
ever attempt to foist himself on or to
eauaiize himself socially with the white
man. until the white man shall equalize
himself with the niger. In such case
the niger having the advantage should
not hesitate. in a figurative sense, to
kick and cuff the white man at will. As
social equality is impossible, 50 IS ANAL
oafnation except in some instances, not
ably. in Northern States where niggers
and whites irtermarry. The African and
the Caucasian are distinct opposites.
When a Niger attempts to force his
company where it is undes1fed he may
expect to be kicked out as tIneeermon-
ious1y as would be white man who
would intrude himself in company OF
his superiors in intellect, wealth and So
cial standing. The Caucasian being the
superior shall tower over the inferior
race Any resistance to this law must
result disastrously to the offending race.
