Hard on American Miners.

The following important order re- garding the location of mines by for eigners in Sonora and Lower Califor- mia has been issued by the authorities of the republic at the City of Mexico:
 Department of Fomento, Third Sec tion, No. 24, 4,345.-Owing to complaints having been made by some foreigners to whom titles have been granted to exploit mines in the state of Sonora and the northern district of Lower Cal ifornia that they do not enjoy security and protection to work their proper ties, and having slandered the respec- tive authorities in that they do not ex- tend them protection, the President of the republic has ordered that for the present, and until further orders, there shall not be admitted in the Mining Agencies of the same State and District, applications to acquire mines that may be presented by foreigners.

 Instead of becoming more peaceful the warning Yaquis are becoming more desperate and are killing Mexi- cans and Americans alike. When the Yaqui war began no attempt was made to harm Americans. But the food supply of the Yaquis are running low and they are now plundering and pillaging and killing without regard to nationality. Ordinarily peaceful, industrious race, the Yaquis have de- pended on their farms for their sus- tenance but now that they are on the warpath they live only on what they can steal from ranchers and passing provision trains.
 Mir. Johnson told of a narrow escape of Mir. Mcfarland, the Los Angeles mining man who comes to Tucson ire quently and who is connected With the Guiterras Mining Company. Mir. Me Farland and party of four were trav- cling by stage to Tecoripa and but for the timely appearance of a body of cavalry, the stage would have been attacted by Indians. A ranch fore man and a cowboy who followed the stage was ambushed by the Indians, who had hoped to kill the passengers in the stage.
 Mir. Johnson stated that work had been abandoned in the Santo Nino mine in southern Sonora which is owned by Col. w. c. Greene and his associates.-Tucson Citizen.

Transfer of Title Ends Famous Case.

A deed was placed on record in the county recorders office few days ago, transferring the title of the Copper Chief group of mines in the Verde dis trict to the Copper Chief Mining com pany from John Duke of this city.
 The transfer of this property recalls to mind one of the most famous min ing suits ever tried in the courts of this county and territory, during the trials of which many sensational charges of bribery were made, which were the subject of much gossip in the community. Duke came into possession of the claims in the early sos, but it was not until the year 1891, when he applied for a patent, that the question of the title to the ground was taken into court for settlement by the Attor- neys of Senator w. A. Clark. The first trial had in the district court here resulted in a verdict in favor of Duke, and an appeal was taken to the supreme court of the territory, where the case was remanded back to the district court for new trial.
 The second trial in the district court resulted in hung jury, and change of venue was then taken to the district court of Pima county, when verdict in favor of Duke was returned for the second time. Other suits were then instituted by the Clark interests, when Duke, who by this time was financially embarrassed, gave an option of pur- chase on the property to E. s. Hayden, wealthy capitalist of Waterbury, Conn. A short time afterwards con- promise was made whereby w. A. Clark acquired 30 feet inside of the side lines of the ground under dispute

General Whining Rews.

A letter from the Lake Superior re- zion says: "The local management of the Bigelow mines is giving serious consideration to the power problem, and it is not impossible that the up- shot will be the identification of the various mines and mills, from a cen tral power plant located near the coal wharves of the Tamarack at Dollar Bay, four miles from Houghton. The work of electrifying the Calumet X Hecla is making steady progress, but the task is such an immense one that several years will be required to bring the ambitious plans of the company to full fruition."
 The Tranquility hoist. one of the properties of the T. c. NJ. Co.,, was re- duced to ashes a few days ago and only by heroic work were the adjoin- ing buildings saved, and the fire pre- vented from going down the shaft. Operations at the Tranquility had been suspended for few days to allow a general overhauling of the machin- cry. Mechanics were at work on same yesterday, and it is presumed a spark or smouldering coal left by workmen caused the blaze. The large frame hoist was engulfed in huge mass of flames, which lit up the sur rounding hills, and since it was im- possible to save the main building, at- tention was directed to the timbered shaft, the ore house, carpenter shop and adjoining buildings, which were protected from the fiery onslaught. The hoist and boiler room were com pletely destroyed, and the loss to the company is approximately estimated at l2,50OS. The Tranquility is one of the oldest properties of the T. c. NJ. Co. group, and was the only mine that operated continuously during the dull period of the camps history. Tomb stone PrOspector.
 The American owners of the Guad- alupe de los Reyes mines, situated in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico, are still mourning the loss of l00,000S of gold and silver bullion which was lost sev- eral months ago in a remarkable man. ner. The train of burros, loaded with bullion, were on their way to Mazat- Ian, at which point the precious car goes were to be shipped to San Fran cisco by boat. The sure-footed little animals were vending their way along a narrow trail bordering high above the PiaXtla river when the roadway, .softened by the tropical rains, sudden ly caved into the river. The mules and bullion and a number of the Mex ican drivers disappeared completely in the raging torrent. As soon as the news of the heavy loss reached the owners of the mines a large force of men were sent out to search for the treasure. This search has been in progress for some time, but not a sin gle bar of the bullion has been recov- cred. It is supposed that the mules, with their freight, were swept down the river into the Pacific ocean. The hunt for the bullion is still going on, ] and a detail of the employees of the

Senator W. A. Clark, of Butte, Mont. has introduced bill of special import ance to the mining interests of the west, in that it provides for right-of- way for tunnels or shafts through ad- joining lands to reach veins or lodes of owners of mineral lands. The bill was referred to the committee on mines and mining, of which Senator Clark is a member, and he feels reas- enable certain of having it reported favorably and passed by the senate at an early date. The bill is as follows: Section 1. That whenever in the working and development of a mine or mining claim, vein or veins having their tops or apexes therein shall so far depart from perpendicular as to come within the side line of an adjoin- ing claim, and when the owner of said vein or veins under the existing laws shall have the right to follow any such vein or veins or dip thereof into or un-- der the surface of any such adjoining claim, the owners of such vein or veins sball have the right to make all such tunnels, drifts, upraises or other underground workings as may be nee essary for the successful and economi- cal working of such vein or veins through the sub-surface of any such adjoining claim or claims. .''-Mining World.

Do it To-day.

The time-worn injunction, ''Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today" is now generally presented in this form: Do it tOday!' !'' That is the terse advice we want to give you about that hacking cough or demoralizing cold with which you have been strug- gling for several days, perhaps weeks. Take some reliable remedy for it today and let that remedy be Dr. BOschee's German Syrup, which has been in use for over thirty-fve years. A few doses of it will undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold, and its continued use for a few days will cure you complete ly. No matter how deep seated your cough, even if dread consumption has attacked your lungs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure-as it has done before in thousands of apparently hopeless cases of lung trouble.

Maiden, Feb. 5.-Mr. Ralph w.
Dorm, manager of the Maginnis mine,
returned from Helena last Thursday
after a ten days stay While in Hell
ena Mr.. Dorm purchased hoist,
which is being installed near the 100
foot winze. 1t is the intention of the
management to sink the winZe sew
eral hundred feet and crOss-cut on
the contact and thereby develop the
mine on a deeper level. The winze
was originally sunk on high grade
ore, some of it going $1,000 to the
ton, and it is practically certain that
rich ore will be encountered. The
present tunnel level is only 275 feet
deep.
The Last Chance No. claim, re-

developed by a shaft which is to be
200 feet deep. A shaft house has been
erected and whim installed. The

REV. W. A. WINTERS.
"Product Of Corrupt Society His
Theme Sunday Evening""

IF poor man whose family is
hungry steals food for them and is
caught he is sent to Jail If William
h. Vanderbilt steals a railroad, he
continues to lead the 400 and is
fawned upon by all. who bow the knee
to wealth, no matter how procured"
The same spirit as this, said Rev.
w. A. Winters in his address at the
First Methodist church Sunday night
obtained in Lewistown. The subject
of the discourse was "A Product of
Corrupt Society," and in this rather
remarkable address, the minister said
that the evils that exist in this city,
the moral lOoseness and the laXity of
the law We're not to be charged up
wholly to the criminal classes The
conditions that prevailed were due
chiefly, in his opinion, to those in
high society hereto the club men
and the men of wealth who withheld
from the officers their support from
any effort made to better conditions.
The example of these men, these lead
ing citizens. said Mr.. Winters, brought
forth the fruitage of the bad boy and
the bad girl. These latter together
with tine Sunday saloon. the brothel.
and other iniquties were simply the
natural product of corrupt society
and they would continue to exist until
a change was wrought in the hearts
of men.
Mr.. Winters severely arraigned
those whom he termed the leaders
in society for their lack of sincerity
their Indifference to the results of
their own examples and their refusal
to accept responsibility for the con
ditions that prevailed. He saw ne
hope for improvement in these con
ditions until there was a change ii
the hearts of those in whose hands
the real power rested. 1t was this
imposing tree-Lewistown society-ir
his opinion, that was bringing fortf
this poisoned fruitage of the perpet
| ual saloon, the hoodlums and immor
| atty almost everywhere.
