How Soon Will SaItOn Sea Dry Up.

So many people are concerned by
the Sdlton sea that the government
has decided to have corps of >cien-
fists and their assistants spend at
Least two years ma king delicate meas
uremtnts night and day in order that
it uay be figured within d few months
OF how long the sea will require to be
absorbed by the atmosphere. y great
many once beautiful farms are now
covered by the sea.
One man recently refused s. an acre
for his inundated land, yet if it re-
quires two years in which to figure
how long it will take the sea to dry, a
man who expects to farm there will
not have to go to work very soon.
On the present broad scale under
which the work is to be pushed, great
expectations have been raised that

June Earnings of S. & p. Mine.

per month would be at the rate of 20
cents per share per annum for the

The Superior q Pittsburg company
has ahead of it heavy expenditures
on opening its mines below the 200

in creating 40 miles of openings above
the I2O0-foot level in the five proper
ties in the consolidated company,
which expenditure proved unfruitful.
Recent developments would indicate
that the real ore bodies are below the

that the bond they would have to fur

A Mexican Mill Is Being Built.

y mexican mill" is being built to
the Santa Cruz slope of the Patagonia
mountains. The mill is an arrastra,
of the type used in Mexico for the
past three hundred years. The claims
on which the arrastra is being built
are owned by c. B. Wilson, q. w.
Norris and a. E. Moody and are about
d mile southeast of the National Con-
solidated mine. The ore that is be-
ing taken from a shaft sunk on Il
lead unlike any other in that section.
1t is a black cinder, easily ground to
powder and pans well in gold. The
lode is two feet wide on the surface,

foot shaft has Il width of five feet.

Woodward Talks of Globe Mines.

General Manager Woodward of the
National Mining Exploration COM
pany has returned from Arizona to
confer with the directors rela tive to
the equipment of its Fumarole prop
erty with a reduction plant and the
commencement of a new three-cOm-
partment shaft at the Iron Cap mine,
says the Boston News Bureau.
He says: "The Globe mining dis
trict is destined to be the largest
producer in the country.
! /"Recent examinations indicate that
the Old Dominion lode passes through
the Iron Cap property of the National
company at point few hundred
feet north of the crosscut and orders
have been issued to drive this cross
cut through that ground as rapidly
as possible. On the west end of the
property, where the present work is
= being done, the management cOnteT-
/ plates sinking d three-Compartment
| shaft towards the east end of the
property. where the ore can be raised
and delivered to cars for transpOrta-
tion to the smelter without handling.
The recent developments on the
Black Hawk property of the Arizona
Commercial have placed that proper
ty in position to assure it a large
amount of pay ore. The continuity
of the vein from the old Black Hawk
shaft something over 500 feet to the
shaft gives great promise for the
future of the Arizona Commercial
company, and in d measure is of great
interest to the Stockholders of the
National, as it has proven the con-
tinuity of this vein within 500 feet of
the Iron Cap east end line.
''As further evidence of the contin-
uity of the Black Hawk vein the de-
velopment work on the Superior &
Boston property where the V in las
been proved 500 feet east of the Ari-
IONA Commercial property establishes
the Black Hawk as one of tn; great
mineral-bearing veins of the Globe
camp.
"The company has made rapid pro-
gress in development of the Fumarole
mine, having sunk d double compart-
ment permanent working shaft 50t
feet, with 600 feet of crosscut and
drift work on the 800 foot level and
260 feet of work on the 200 foot level
since October Il, last. This property
was taken over by the company upon
the recommendation of Prof. j. w.
Prout of Denver. he development
work on the 500 foot level has already
proved an area of I2O by 40 feet
carrying sufficient gold and silver
values to pay good profit on treat
ment The vent itself has proved to
be over thirty feet in width and 100
feet in length. In places where this |
vent was encountered gold-bearing ore
of over $40 per ton value was taken |
out. Owing to the fact that work al |
this point is just at water level and |
strong evidences of oXida tion and |
teaching were encountered, Prof |
PrOut is firmly of the opinion that as
soon as the work reaches Il point be-
low the line of oxidation the values |
will be many times those found upon
that level"

Governor Cleveland was precisely
like Mayor Cleveland. He was bust
ness governor. 1t was said of him that
he ran the state as he would have run
railroad, mastering the details of the
business so that he could run it well.
The same writer declares that ''he not
only preached economy, but he made
the state officials practice it. He We
tOed bills until the legislators were
wild with rage, and he forced through
civil service REFORM
Grover Cleveland was cordially
disliked by the politicians in his par
ty. But his reputation among the peo-
pie as plain, practicable, businesslike
executive had grown so wide that in
the summer of 1884, before the expira-
ton of his gubernatorial term, there
was an inSistent call for him to ac-
cept that thigh political preferment"
which in the letter to his brother he
had declared was not in his head.
throughout the country believed that
Cleveland was honest and that moth
ing could turn him aside from a course
which he believed to be right. He was
nominated for president at the Chica-
go convention of 1884, his Republican
opponent being James G. Blaine. Mr..
Cleveland received a small plurality Of
the popular vote and an electoral ma
jority of thirty-seven. For the first time
since 1856 the Democratic party had
carried the presidential election. A
man who two years before was IN
known beyond his own city and coun-
ty, painstaking, laborious lawyer, a
ponderous, heavy set "old bachelor"
had entered the lists and swept to de-
feat ''the plumed knight Of twenty

''the veto mayor" He vetoed many
extravagant appropriation bills and
saved his city at least $1,0O0,O0O.
The state of New York soon heard
much of this veto mayor. He had been
in Office less than year when the
Democrats nominated him for govern
or New York had not elected Dem
ocratic governor since before the civil
war. The Republicans nominated
Charles ]. Folger, secretary of the
treasury in President Arthur's cabinet.
Mr.. Folger was regarded as a partic-
ularly strong candidate, yet Cleveland
was elected governor by plurality of
1872, S54 over Folger and by clear ma
jority of 151,T42 over all the candi>
dates. Just after he voted on election
day he wrote to his brother, the Rev.
William Cleveland:

was a disposition to help others whenever
possible. Knowing that 1t was a great
favor to me to have my poems copied
neatly and legibly, he offered to perform
that service for me. and several times
availed myself OF his aid.
One day the principal OF the school
upbraided the blind woman for using
the clerks time in that way. Grovec
told Miss Crosby that she had perfect
right to employ him In that capacity.
inasmuch as her poems were used in
the school and also helped to make the
institution better known. He advised
her to give the principal some "plain
prose" the next time he should re-
proach her. When the official remon-
strated a second time, Miss Crosby
stood foC her rights and won the battle.
When Cleveland was about eighteen
years old, he paid a visit to an uncle
living in Buffalo. The uncle in
duced the boy to remain and help him
in compiling the American Herd
Book" Grover assisted in several edi-
tons of this work, studied law and
was admitted to the bar at the age of
twenty-five. His first official position
was that of assistant district attorney,
which he held for three years, during
the civil war. Two of his brothers
were in the army. Grover was helping
to support his mother and sisters. His
salary was small. When he was draft
ed to military service, he hired a sub
stitute and remained at work. Later
he was a candidate for the district at
tOrneyship, but was defeated. Then he
settled down TO law practice. In 1870
he was induced to run for sheriff and
was elected, serving for three years.
After another interval Of private
citizenship, assiduOusly devoted to-
his profession, this bachelor lawyer OF
forty-fOur years was nominated for
mayor Of Buffalo on the Democratic
ticket in 1881. He had become known

history as Grover Cleveland. twice
president of the United States and for
the remainder of his life ''the most dis
tinguished private citizen in the world. Z"
The Rev. Stephen F. Cleveland and
his wife, who was Ann Neal. daughter
Of a Baltimore merchant, had a large
family of children. Three years after
Grover was born the family migrated,
as preachers families are wont to do.
Parson Cleveland became pastor at
Fayetteville. n. Y. and later at Clin-
ton, n. 7. The father died when
Grover was in his sixteenth year. The
family home was then and until the
widow Cleveland died In 1882 at Hol-
land Patent. n. Y.
Grover Cleveland attended academies
at Fayetteville and Clinton. He had
az early ambition to go through Prince
ton college. but lacked the funds. He
became clerk and later assistant teach
er in the New York Institution For the
Blind. New York city.
Fanny Crosby. the celebrated blind
hymn writer, was a teacher in the same
school. She and Grover became warm
friends. In her "reminiscences Miss
Crosby writes:
He seemed a very gentle but intensely
ambitious boy. Among other very pleas
