CURIOUS INCONSISTENCY.

The government of the United States Is devoting itself of late to the laudable work of exposing frauds in mining operations, and shutting them out from the use of the mails. And on account of congregations in descriptive liter ature some very good enterprises have been under surveillance and the objects of suspicion That is all very well and good. But while Uncle Sam is trimming his sons who are engaged in promoting mining companies, he should turn his attention to his own recruiting officers who are enlisting men for both the army and navy. The advertising put out to catch the attention of eligible men Is about as roseate and laudatory of life under the flag or afoat as the most lurid advertisement ever circulated by a wildcat mining company. Let the story of numerous deser- tions tell how far short falls the reality of such life from the lurid literature of the government put out to induce enlistment. One of the cruisers ofthe Pacific sq quadron, coming up from Central America, touched at San Diego recently and reported that within few weeks fully one-half of the crew had deserted. At every port the vessel touched fIoIn one to two score of men obtained shore leave and failed to return. Life upon Uncle Sam's war vessel was not all that the recruiting officer had painted,

(It is understood that if there be any deficiency in the sum needed the Duquesne Company will ad. vance the money to pay; and re- coup from later collections of the road tax).
 The foregoing statement disposes also of the assertion in the Patago- nia protest that the money of the taxpayers generally will be used to bridge the Santa Cruz river at the point where the Nogales-Duquesne road crosses. The county has no money to put into roads or bridges anywhere The road fund is nine thousand dollars in debt now. and that part of the property tax which goes into the general road fund will be devoted to paying off that indebtedness, while the roads will have to get along with the money collected from the individual road taxes in the various districts. With this statement the Patagonia people can see that they have been misled.

MONDAY the supreme court of the United States affirmed the decision of the Arizona courts that the ter ritorial board of equalization has power to assess mining properties. i. e. It had power before the pres ent law to tax the product of mines was adopted. This decision sustains the contention of Governor Kibbey, which contention forced the bullion tax law, which is much better than any former arrangement, but falls far short of what iC should reach.

A MlSCoNcEpTloN.

Tuesday the alleged newspaper contained a long communication signed by many of the most prom inent citizens of Patagonia that was as claimed for it, a protest against the county devoting to inn provement of the road connecting Nogales and Washington Camp money collected from the taxpayers of the county at large.
 The attitude of the protestants Is we'll taken, and they would have the best reasons therefor had there been any intention on the part of the county to do anything of the kind. Very likely the cause of the protest was due to the very inac- curate report published in the alleged newspaper at the time of -the meeting of the Board of Trade at Nogales, in conference with representative of the Duquesne Mining & Reduction Co.,, which meeting was attended by all the individual members of the county board. At that meeting the chair, man of the county board stated explicitly that the county had no funds to devote to that or any other road, and under the law no road scrip can be issued to defray the cost of it's improvement. The following day the alleged newspa per asserted that the Duquesne Company will donate three thou sand dollars of the nine thou sand required, that the county will contribute three thousand dollars, and the remaining three thousand would be contrib uted by subscriptions from the business men in Nogales.
 Long before the meeting at the Board of Trade rooms the county board went into the question thoroughly, and they reached the conclusion that was presented by Chairman Harrison at the gather ing mentioned. Now here Is what was agreed: Under that provision of the law which permits applica- ton of the money collected from road tax on individuals in any road district to the roads in that district, 1t was agreed that all such collections shall go toward the proposed improvement of that road. The county appointed road over seer who has charge of the work of improvement. The money donated

able obstacle and an arrangement for
heating the rifles was found per-
fectly feasible.
Under an agreement with the Mad
ison River Power company, which
has stretched a pole line from the
Madison river canyon to the dredg-
ing plant at Ruby, the dredging COM
pany, called the Conrey Placer Min
ing company, is compelled to con-
struct five other dredges as large as
the one built last year and to equip
the earlier dredges with electricity.
AS soon as the experiments of the
Conrey company became, fairly sue
cessful dredging men from all parts
of the world, even from New Yea
land, tried to get a foothold along
the gravel benches, but each arrival
found to his chagrin that the Conrey
people had purchased enough land in
the neighborhood, up Alder creek, at
it's mouth; up Ruby creek, a tribu-
tary to the Be%everhead river, into
which Alder also flows, and down the
Beaverhead, to keep twelve dredges
in operation for se~venty-fve years.
The old pioneers of Montana be-
lieve the glory of Alder gulch de-
parted with the ea~sily-gotten gold of
the early days, but the modern,
scientific miner, with dredges under
his control, declares the real glory Of
the famous gulch yet is to come.
More than $300,OO0,000 was taken
out before the year 1875. The
dredges are taking gold out every
day this year and will take it out
next year and the year after and for
seventy-five years to come, so why
speculate as to its origin, or whether
the greatest glory of the gulch is in
the future or in the past? There's
glory enough for both.

BLACK CANYON
Mine A TREASURE

Three feet of $500 ore in the Black
Canyon workings is the weeks min
ing sensation.
1t is free milling, and many pan
nings have been made by all who
cared to take the trouble, from a
thorough sampling of the quantity
of rich ore sacked up by last Satur-
day night, and brought down by
Superintendent Frank Drake. All
corners were welcome to pick out
their own sample and wash it down,
and even the most careless panning
left a long string of fine gold.
No assays were obtained until Mon
day, when returns from two assays
made by Strong & Lane were as fol-
lows:
No. L. Gold. s297.64; silver,
$S.OS; total, $3O2.4R.
No. 2-Gold. %$299.3O; silver,
$3.14; total. $S02.44.
The rich stuff is simply an inn
provement of the value of the ledge
in which work has been done all the
time. At the mouth of the tunnel
the value was about $40; later it has
been about $55; and now in the face
Of tunnel No. 2. about thirty feet
from where it branches off from the
first tunnel started, IS thirty-six to
forty feet inches of this $500 ore.
The same ore shoot extends at least
through to the first tunnels face, and
how much further no one knows. The
miners have been putting through
ore of the several values above stated
for many feet, and as figures show
the value is improving rapidly with
depth.
The ore now being taken out is all
being sacked.
Hundreds of feet of ou%tcroppings
prove a big area of mineralized
ground. and no Investigator enter
tains any doubt of the ledge holding
out with depth.
One gentleman, familiar with Ton
opah and Goldfield mines, said when
he saw the specimens and heard of
the size of the ledge: Such a strike
as that in one of the Nevada mines
would send the stock to $3.50 a
share" The company is still selling
at 25 cents, but this price will soon
be doubled.
An important feature is the free
character of the ore, ideal for ANAL
gamation. Another fact is the cor
dial invitation which is extended to
all to visit the property and satisfy
themselves that it is no hot all
scheme or wildcat stock proposition
A noteworthy fact is that every
mining man, without exception, SC
far as we have heard, who sees the
property insists that conditions as
he finds them are far better than rep
resented. Admitting the truth Of the
trite saying that no one can see deep
er than the distance the ground has
been opened, yet as one speaker put
it, "if what has been shown in the
openings already made is not indica.
tive of what may reasonably be
counted on in the future, then Nature
had better take in her sign"
Black Canyon is making good; ant
the miners working there are free
in predicting richer developments
