 I sincerely hope that the men who have the welfare of the terri tory so completely in their hands will realize their responsibilities and at least take time for deliber- ate consideration and analysis of the proposed legislation. It would be far better to accept Governor Brodie's suggestion of a commits sion to investigate the whole ques- ton of mining taxation as it exists in other states, than to adopt any of the crude propositions hereto fore brought forward.

Eagles' Annual Conclave

On July 4, next, the Eagles of Arizona will meet in their first an- nual conclave in this city. At that time representatives from all the aeries in this territory will assem- ble here-the representation being one delegate to each five members. It is expected that fully 400 dele gates will be present. Flagstaff, Williams. Winslow, Globe, Phoe- nix, Tucson, Bisbee, Douglas and Naco lodges have already signified their intention to send delegates. State Deputy w. J. Bond will go south this month to confer with the officers of the various aeries re- garding arrangements. The mem- bers of Prescott aerie. the largest in the territory, will put their best foot forward to give their brethren the time of their lives on this occa- sion, and have been considering a program of entertainment for the visitors which will reflect credit on Prescott and the order.-Courier.

Brodie May Go to Philippines

A Washington dispatch says: It is semi mi-officially announced that the advancement of Major Brodie is to be more rapid than at first anticipa- ted, though it has been generally conceded that he would be speedily elevated
 It is now understood that Major Brodie will, during the next few weeks, beappointed a lieutenant col onel of the regular army, and that sometime in April, according to present plans, he will take his de- parture for the Philippines to engage in active service.
 It is known that the latter will be more acceptable to Major Brodie than the routine work that comes to his hand under the appointment he now holds. It is also known that the president has recently had desire for a man in whom he could impose the fullest trust to carry out certain important work he has outlined in the Philippines. In Major Brodie he has such a lieu tenant.

DISCOVERED
 BY ACCIDENT

Most of the great gold fields have been discovered entirely through accident. The romances connected with their discovery have been brought to mind by the story which comes from England of the young man on his way home from New Zealand with fortune which came to him by accident. He is the son of billposter who found his way to New Zealand and worked in the mines. One day while standing on the edge of a creek, he picked up a stone to throw at bird. A glance at the missile showed him that it was gold. The stone proved to be the clew to rich mine, of which the young man sold his share for $375,OOO.
 The largest nugget ever found in California was discovered by half breed Indian in a brook where he was washing his overalls. It was almost pure gold and weighed over 75 pounds. The Adams Express Company paid $17,40O for it. Among the mining exhibits at the Worlds Fair was nugget worth $2,2OO. A woman had picked it up to throw at her COW, but, seeing the color and weight, she thought bet ter of it and took it home. Another romatic little story, not without it's pathos, is told of the famous Oliver Martin nugget. Martin was miner whose partner had died. He was digging the grave in a sandy spot at the base of a cliff when his pick struck something hard. It proved to bea nugget which weighed 15O pounds, and was sold for $36,- 27O.
 The famous silver mines at Zaca- tecas. Mexico, from which $5OO,- GOO, ,000 worth of ore has been taken, were discovered in remarkable way. An Indian in pursuit of an antelope was climbing the steep slope of hill and seized a bush to help himself up. The plant gave way and revealed beneath the roots rock which proved to be almost pure silver. One of the richest mines in the Antilles was the out come of rabbit chase. An Indian was hunting rabbits one day, when one of them was chased by his dog into a hole in the hillside. The In. dian started to dig. the rabbit out but before he had shoveled a half dozen spadefuls of earth found to his delight, that he was literally shovelling silver.-New York Her aid.

More Trouble for Santa Fe

Friday afternoon one of the heav- fest rains that ever fell in a winter month broke over this section and inside of an hour the ravines were running rivers of water. In the canyon below town several hundred feet of the railroad grade was carried out and all trains are hung up here. The flood of water in the canyon approached closely that of last August, when thousands of feet of railroad grade below Kingman was carried out. The water cut a new channel in the lower part of canyon, which saved thousands of feet of the grade this side of Ma guire's ranch. At Franconia the flood of water did little damage, only a small washout occurring. The railroad people had just fin ished getting the grades in the can yon leveled up when this latest flood destroyed all their work. The wagon roads out of Kingman are impossible, the road over Coyote hill being a mass of boulders that will take some time to remove. The flood there was immense and the damage was very great.- Mohave Miner.

The Arizona Burr0

Arizona may find lucrative mar ket for it's burros. Eastern mine operators believe that they have found a broad field of utility for the homely, picturesque animal of the mesa, desert and foothills.
 If the Indian pony of the west and the small and wiry bronco of the plains of Texas can be shipped with profit to east and west, there is no reason why the burro may not also be exported with as much or greater profit, provided the hum- ble creature fills long felt want.
 The experiment will be tried and it may prove the glcrifcation of the burro and the making of small for tunes for burro dealers in the west. Thousands will be available on de- mand.
 The Santa Fe New Mexican says: M. s. Valentine of Hillsboro has just made big shipment of the Sierra county brand of the genus asinus to Virginia, where the faith full will be tried out in the mine. If they succeed in supplanting the the dogged yet more alert mule, as it is not impossible that they will, MT. Valentine is assured of a big burro market.

E. 5. Clark for Attorney General

Yesterday afternoon Judge Kib- bey handed in his resignation to Acting Governor Nichols as attor- ney general of Arizona and this morning the acting governor ap- pointed Hon. E. s. Clark of Pres colt to the vacancy, the appoint ment being confrSJd by the coun- cil so> afterward.
 It is understood that the appoint ment of MT. Clark was made at the request of Judge Kibbey, who will soon assume the duties of the gov ernorship.
 MT. Clark is we'll known through out Arizona, having lived in Coco nino and Yavapai counties and practiced law in both places. On December 31st of last year he fin ished a term of office as i,istrict attorney of Yavapai county.
 He has s.amped the territory for the republican ticket many times and is considered one of the best orators in Arizona. The duties of the attorney generalship will necessarily require MT. Clark to spend considerable time in Phoenix but he will still keep his home at Prescott.-Gazette March 4.

has a numerical strength estimated atbetween 25O,OOO and 35O,OOO men. These figures suggest an interesting comparison. The campaigns of the Revolution were some of the most important in history. Yet in the score of important military events in that war the combined forces of both sides never exceeded 30, 900 men Oftenest only 4,OOO to 5000 fought on a side.
 At Lexington on April 19, 1775, was fired the first "shot heard 'round the world" Yet the British forces in that memorial raid num- bered only 1900 men. The number of harassing Colonials is not known exactly. But the American loss was only about 100. The British loss 65 killed, 1SO wounded and 28 prisoners.
 The capture of Ticonderoga on May 10, 1775, was brilliant affair. But Ethan Allen led only S8 men and captured only A.
 At Bunker Hill, on June IT, 1775, about 1 800 Americans in trenches repulsed 2,5OO British until the ann munition gave out. The English loss, while enormous when the num- Der engaged is considered, was only 359 killed and 695 wounded. The Americans lost 145 killed and BOA wounded.
 The first important American re- verse in the war was the failure of Arnold and Montgomery to capture Quebec from Sir Guy Carleton on December 31, 1775. The attack is always described as sanguinary affair Yet it was participated in by only 750 men, who lost Is killed, 42 wounded and 400 prisoners. The British loss was 1 killed and 8 wounded.
 In the siege of Boston. Washing. ton never had more than 14, 800 men on duty. When Howe evacu- ated the town on March IF, 1776, only 7,6O0 soldiers sailed with him to Halifax.
 :. In the battle of Long Island August 27, 1776, Washington had 15,000 men and Howe about the same number. The American loss was 62 killed and 1SS wounded :; the British 61 killed and 257 wounded.
 At Trenton, N. J., December 26, 1776, Washington, with 2.4OO men, attacked Rahl's 1,5OO Hessians, killed IT, wounded IS and captured 1000. The Americans lost 2 killed and 4 wounded.
 In the rout of the Brandywine at Chadd's Ford, near Philadelphia with 1000 men had attempted to check the advance of Howe with 1S,O0O. The American loss was 2S9 killed and 56S wounded; the British 9S killed and 39S wounded.
 At Germantown, Pa Y, on October 4, 1777, Washington with 5000 men again attacked Howe's army, but was repulsed with loss of 1S9 killed and 542 wounded. The Brit ish lost 9S killed and 4O2 wounded.
 On August 16, 1777, Col. Baum, one of Burgoyne's commanders, with 500 men, was attacked by Stark with 900 near Bennington, east of Saratoga, N. Y. Later in the day both sides were reinforced. The Americans lost 30 killed and Al wounded; the British 69 killed. .S1 wounded and 6OO prisoners.
 On October IS, TIT, Burgoyne surrendered Saratoga and the event is put by Greasy among the fifteen decisive battles of the world" About 6,OOO men capitulated and Burgoyne had lost 5,7O0 on the march to Saratoga. The Americans numbered about IA, 900.
 At Monmouth on June 2S, 1778, when Washington lost by Lees treachercy, the Americans had G. 900 men, the English under Clinton 5000 The American loss was 72
