Merxnei,. Famous GoIA Belt.

nOGohCA llc&oSVs
 In our satisfaction and pride of Arl- 9ona--tWice leader in the worlds pro- ductten of cOpper--we Lre apt to over look her wonderful possibilities in gold and silver. The golden opportunity Is here, and why not develop It?
 Our own Clifton MorencI district owes its existence to the discovery of gold in the early sixties in Gold Gulch. Prospectors and capital came here, merely carried off the surface wealth and then turned their attention to cop. per: and In this succeeded So well that the hidden geld has been entirely neg Iected until recent years.
 The gold belt lies west from Morenci about two miles. and extends north and south for about eight miles and is about three miles wide. Over any part of this district surface banning Will show traces of gold, and the numerous development workings have demon- strated beyond any doubt that many permanent ledges carry gold in paying Suantitier. In fact the entire belt is a mass of veins of all sizes. all of them carrying more or less gold. When we consider that gold and silver can be mined and treated cheaper than any other metal we are compelled to pre- dict a bright future for the MOrenci gold belt.
 All of the several companies owning property in this district have good shoWings. but we are all watching with much Interest the operations of the one company now actively engaged in development work.

SOME LAUGHS.

That Texas verdict against the waters-Pireee Oil Company has Brought out several phases. When xhe State first instituted the suit against the company we are told that ehes lomciais Of the latter. like Con- wress' on . memorable occasion. 'Jnst laughed" Then when the verdict against the company was affirmed 1t
 was the States time to laugh. But ehe statement is made that the com pany will pay the nne entirely in sllver dOliars-and now they are Iaushing. A contemporary thus tells how it may be-,
 The judGm1At and interest will amount to almost s2,000,000. If the company carries out it's reported in- ,tention to pay the entire amount in sAilver doIlars, the money will weigh more than i've tons, aud the counting { of 1t win be s forty days task for an lexpert. So the company is having aeHgh. albeit at It's own expense; for sIion silver doiiars would be no holi- day diversion, even for the sovereign tGtate of Texas. It may well be re- fzl1af&e0s however, fnat TeA&nb are not ixnuch' given to quitting, and there may sbs yet another laugh lurking in the kcon4nes of this oil case.
 We do not know if there is any thing to prevent the payment of the nne in silver dollars. but if there Is not, and the company sticks to 1t. we don't exactly know where the next laugh win come in. Two million dollars will be an immense pile of hard money, and Texas will be fairly Eentitled to the name of Silver State when she gets all those dollars in her treasury. We have not time to figure out how much space the money will occupy. but the Texans. as our contemporary says, are not quitters, and if the company can legally pay the hne as slated, and insist on doing 70. they'll find a place to put it. if they have to build another Capitol.
