LOWER COLORADO RIVER.
A Wonderful Country that has Long
 Been Dormant.

That section of the great southwest ern mining field which borders the Col orado river in Arizona and California hold much that is of interest to the observant student of the mining indus try. Along this picturesque watery highway, though a vast mountainous desert, there are various mineral dis tricts of present or prospective impor- lance, in which a considerable mining industry will undoubtedly be developed in the future, according to the amount and wisdom of the investment of capi- tai companies, who are working ten or twelve men altogether. The longest tunnel is in about 400 feet. and there are several shafts in the district forty or fifty feet deep.
 Most of the claims are held by prospectors who have done little Ilore than assessment work" says MT. Steel. They sink shafts perhaps fif- ty feet deep and then start others else where The development work is no. concentrated. With such superficial showings. they want too much-per- haps $20. 900 for ten-foot hole, and a large percentage in cash. Some O. these little shafts show good values in base ores, and l received the impres- sion that some day 1t would be an i'm portant mining camp. It needs con centration of interests, intelligent de- velopment. a railroad from the river, a smelter, water supply. etc. It might be a good field for operation on that

 One instance of conditions here is afforded by William Mack and his properties, the Ruby and Soo mines,
 which he had held for fifteen years. The former was worked thirty years ago and in 1887 a fve-stamp mill was built by the river The mine shows a strong ledge of rich ore, and has been developed by tunnel and winZe to q deph of 150 feet. The assays tell
 why the mill is not running. The Soo crop Of copper ore, carrying gold, in
 places thirty feet wide. The develop ment is small For years Mack has lived in little cabin and garden by a spring near the river. When ne feeIs like it he hires an Indian and gets out some ore from either mine and sends it up the river to Needles and to Selby
 at freight cost of s1o per ton. The shipments amount to about one carload
 a year. and that is sufficient income
 for Mack
 There is another ezterprisirg mine
 owner in this district who is worthy
 of note. His office and residence is
 in an open cave in high bluff that has probably housed cIiff-dwelers of anoth-
 CT age. It is TOO feet above the river
 bank and back in the hills. A trail
 that dips thirty degrees leads up to the
 cave, and above is perpendicular cliff
 l50 feet high. The lord of the cay
 ern has burro of very efficient de- sign that packs oil cans of water from the river and lives on cactus at one end of the route and real green grass
 and willow leaves at the other. This prospector has held five claims at $15,- GOO for five years. A few days work in the district once in while provides the dividends from his $15,000 proper ty, and with a shakedown bed in
 shady cliff, in stormless land, he show how one can be contented though rich

 says that within twenty square miles in this region, on both sides of the river. there are probably fifty claims
 held by prospectors.
 At other points along this stretch cf the river there are other prospects and
 districts with similar conditions, but no going mines. At one point, right
 on the rivers edge, "Drennan's mill'

VERY REMARKABLE CURE OF
 DlARRHOEA.

About six years ago for the first time in my life I had a sudden and se- were attack of diarrhoea." says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas. ''I got temporary relief, but it came back again and again, and for six years have suffered more misery and agony have suffered more misery and agony than I can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for physicians prescriptions and treatment without avail Finally we moved to Bosque county, our present home, and one day happened to see an advertisement of Chamber lain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, with the testimonial of a man who had been cured by it. The case was so similar to my own that I con- ciuded to try the remedy.

 He is proud of his war record, as he may well be, and his veins are full of confederate blood. but he says that in cident is, past and he has the satisfac- ton of knowing it was properly set tied He also has the proud distinc- ton of being the first confederate off cer to decorate 8 union soldiers grave. which incident occurred at the request of Kingsley post, G. A. R., in Boston in 1875. Since then the mutual recog- milton of the bravery and honest pur- pose of both sides in fhe sanguinary struggle have become generally rec ognized. though too much bitterness of feeling still exists. more's the pity.
 When Colonel Crandall resolved to form a mining company he decided to make it pension bureau for confed- crate soldiers. assessing only the bene- iciaries. His first ruling. therefore, was that he would sell stock to no one but ex-confederates or their families, and in the formation uf the company he selected Major Crabb, who served under him in in the war, for secretary The latter said he knew nothing about mine, but would have to obey orders and so he accepted. Colonel Cfandali replied that he was not looking for a miner but for an honest man, and he knows now that he has one. Every year, Colonel Crandan attends the ex-confederate reunion, reports conditions to his stockholders. who he he hopes at an early day will be realiz- ing some pension money.
 Speaking of pensions he says he is strong on that point and if he were in congress he would favor pensioning ev- cry union soldier regardless. He says there are none more deserving and it is the best way to get the money back among the people. Incidentally he came near going to congress once from General Joe Wheeler's district. In fact he thinks he would have gone if MT. Wheeler hadn't got so many fOAto Dbt AhCy 04C AiACAoS AN5e%tN less of political partisanship, for Colonel Crandall is the friend of every body that thinks for himself and de- serves his friendship. In the older days he counted Bob Ingersoll. Henry Ward Peecher and David Swing among his intimates and down at Washing ton, where Colonel CrandaIl once had a newspaper, The National View. he was on intimate terms with all the leaders, especially cherishing his friendship for President Mckinley. Earlier in life he was connected with the New York Graphic, then the only illustrated paper in the county.

GRAY COPPER.

A. Miller, who has been at the Mod ern and Joe Miller's camps for the past week, returned to town this morn ing. He brought in fine specimen of the gray copper, which Jack McGee has found on Granite mountain, six miles north of town. McGee claims to have a quartz dyke, with an ore vein eighteen inches wide and running a half mile on the surface. The sin carries considerable copper glance, as well as gray copper like the sample shown.

CONFEDERATE MINING COMPANY.
Colonel Lee CrandsI, and His Novel
 Corporation.


 Corporation.
 Colonel Lee Crandall, of Globe, president of the Confederate Mining company, is in the city, having arrived several days ago to confer with his son, Theodore Crandell, manager of the company, and the secretary and treasurer, Major R. W. Crabb, of Union town. Kentucky, the three being the executive board. Major Crabb, never having seen the oompany's mine, he and Theodore Crandall have left for that interesting place, and Colonel crandall awaits their return.
 The Confederate mine is in the Brown mining district, few miles north from Sunfiower, in the Tonto country. President Crandall says he prefers to let his son, who is in charge, talk about the mine, but he is willing to talk about the company, which he organized, and which is the faycrite of all his investments. Colonel Crandail, however, is one of these genial gentle men who can talk about anything, for he has lived a long and active life, and, as he says, is deeply interested in everything that ever happened, is now going on, or Is ever likely to occur. His deepest solicitude, he says. is to preserve the functions of the human temple he is now living in; for he has a great deal to ( ' before he leaves it for his real home in heaven, where he expects to meet large number of peo- pie he has known here, who have had sense enough to crawl out of the hell of human prejudice and district of everything terrestrial as well as celestial. And in this he haS been notably successful. for while his hair is white he keeps his temple in good order and his heart is es young as in the days of curly-headed childhood. A friend told him recently that he was the happest man in tho world. He told him at once that he had not made t strong enough, for he was the happi- est man in the universe.
 Colonel Crandall was born in Louisi- ana. was in the legislature before the war and voted against secession But
 
 after his state went out he went with if at the head of regiment, became the pet of General Stonewall Jackson and the friends of all the confederate leaders and, as be says, fought four years to tear down the best govern men there ever was. and is devoting fhe rest of his life to building it up bigger and better than it ever was be- fore"

If we could force out the crowfoot the supply would not only be ample but would last for years. do not seek to injure the laboring man but to pre- vent the destruction of the Goose that lays the Golden egg. I send you copy of Gazette in which I have defended the bill before the Senate Committee, but so much pressure was brought to bear upon the Committee, there only being three of that Committee pres ent, by the Northern button factories, that the crowfoot was allowed to re- main. You can easily see why few shell buyers and pearl buyers oppose the bill, as they are not tax payers and citizens. While to stop the crow foot would be loss to the Northern buyers and slight inconvenience of the shell hunters yet the continued use of the crowfoot means the death kneh of great industry for the state.

COURT HEARS ARGUMENT.

When Judge J. M. Jones convened county court Monday evening, the attorneys for and against license hay ing rested their cases, so far as the presentation of evidence was concern ed, the argument of the counsel was heard. s. D. Campbell and G. A. Hillhouse spoke for the opponents of license and M. M. Stuckey, J. M. Stayton and Gustave Jones represent ed the petitioners.
 Judge Jones took the matter under advisement, reserving his decision, which will probably be made with that upon the petition from the Jack sonport district.
 On Tuesday morning, the attention of court was occupied with the Jack sonport district petition and census, until noon, when at the request of the prohi attorneys, court was adjourned over until seven p. m., that the attor- neys opposing license, may have time to review the Jacksonport district petition and census.

Gentlemen:-
 I beg leave to thank you for the interest taken in behalf of my bill which seeks to protect to our people an industry that annually will yield from one to two millions of dollars. A few pearl buyers and shell buyers from the north have succeeded in practically killing the bill by allowing the use of "Crowfoot." Now as you know there are many sufficient means of catching mussels without the crow foot which actually destroys ten tons for every ton landed. And while it took many years for the mussels to cover the bars, the crowfoot will in two or three years destroy them all; then our factories and shelters will all
