THE OILED STREETS.

The oil coating placed ON w King
street. some time ago is still doing
good service but the extensive travel
on that thoroughfare has ground from
the macadam great deal OF dust
which i'm places is an inch or more
deep. While this dust does not fly
about like the dust on the nnoiled
street il carries on the feet into the
houses and will sooner of later be the
means OF causing the housewife CON
siderable annoyance.
It would be wise If this superfuity
Of dust were swept up and carried
away. The crossings too have collect
ed quite bit Of this dust and in many
places 1t is impossible to see the brick
in the crossing. Rain too makes an
oily paste of this dust. A little clean
ing OF this street would make won
derful improvement.

J. j. HILL ON RECIPROCITY.

Mr.. James J. Hill, the greatest
railroad man of the northwest, is an
enthusiastic advocate OF reciprocity.
Through the Great Northern and
Northwestern railroads James J. Hill
has invested over $5OO,000,0o0 in the
development of the northwest. If the
prosperity of that section were
seriously threatened the stock OF the
railroads of which he is the head
would depreciate enormously and
rapidly. Here is what Mr.. Hill says
OF the Canadian northwest as rival
to the farm lands OF the United
States:
1.-THE states of North and South .Da-
kota and Montana alone have 4S,S16,-
400 more acres of farm land than all
northwestern Canada. Our farmers
have been led to believe that reel
procity with Canada would result in
the invasion of the United States by
Canadian producers and the conse-
auent lowering OF farm products. This
is an absurdity. We will need Cana
dian farm products very soon, and we
will also need the Canadian markets. y
Mr.. Hill takes a broad and states
manlike view of the reciprocity ques-
ton. II trade is a good thing it is
certainly good thing between neigh
boring peoples and between countries
whose inhabitants live on practically
the same plane, work under substan-
TALLY the same conditions and enjoy
relatively the same advantages. II
there is any country on the earth with
which the United States should create
and maintain free trade conditions, it
Is Canada.-Wheeling Intelligencer.

SOME SENATORIAL HEROES.

There are heroes in the United
States senate Just think OF such a
protectionist as Senator Penrose
rounding up his high tariff colleagues
nearly half of them--to vote for let
ting down the bars to trade between
this country and Canada! Think Of
Senator Lodge, who strangled all the
sweet little reciprocity treaties that
were the offsprirgs of the Dinghy tar
if and were nursed by President Nc
Kinley, and who wiped UP the floor of
state republican convention with
Foss and Canadian reciprocity--think
OF him voting for the reciprocity trea-
tyi No humane person can consider
what these and other republicans must
have suffered in voting for the bill
without the deepest commiseration.

Lost in the Hills.

Last week Friday, JOe Shell, son of Charles E. Shell, superintendent of TruxtOn Canyon Indian school, started from the school on a hunting trip into the hllls. Not returning late in the afternoon search parties were sent out after him, but although all the can yOns and plateaus of the surrounding country was searched by whites and Indians no trace of the young man could be found. Late that night he arrived at the school footsore and weary. He had gone far Into the can yons and did not realize that he had travelled far until late in the after noun, when he tried 10 retrace his way back and found that he was lost Finally toward evening he climbed the summit of a high bluff and saw far away the smoke of train. He start ed of in the direction of the railroad and arrived at Truxton and then headed down the track to Crozier, where he arrived worn out and thirsty. After relieving his thirst he went on to the school, arriving there about ten o'clock that night. The young man had arrived from Berkely the night before, having been a student at the University of California. He will long remember his first hunting trip in Arizona.

Mexican Mines.

This week A. M. Smith, president of the Wallapai King Mining company, visited the property of the company, in Todd Basin. The main shaft on the Mexican mine has been sunk to a depth of POO feet and drifts run off west 40 feet and east 50 feet. It is expected that the east drift will soon be under the old ore body. The drift at the present time indicates the prox- unity of an ore body.
 The Mexican mine was discovered many years ago and from the grass roots produced large tonnage of rich gold-silver ore. It lies in an immense porphyry dike, through which veinlets of quartz run in all directions. These small veins are all ore bearing. The main vein is large and well defined and has always been con nsidered one of the good things of the district.
 President Smith, accompanied by his brother, A H. Smith, were in Kingman yesterday attending to busi- ness matters.

Power Plant Betterments.

It is understood that the Desert Power & Water company has arrang- ed for the installation of two big boil CTS at the power plant in the west part of town. The present boiler capacity is inadequate and it has been found necessary to install another battery of boilers to meet the demand for power. The company will also extend its lines throughout the county to place power within the reach of all the mines now being operated. The new power unit is giving the utmost satisfaction and meets all demands in the generation of power, but lack of steam has cut down the delivery several hundred horsepower. With the new battery in com mission the plant will be in shape to meet every demand upon it for power.

National Highway.

At last Congress seeing the impor- tance of a great national highway is to take some action on a measure in- troduced by Congressman Hobson, who gained fame as the hero of the Mer- rimac, during the Spanish-American war. Congressman Hobson has intro duced a bill in congress that provides for the building of two great national highways, one from the great lakes to the gulf and the other from the At lantic to the Pacific, following the thirty-ffth parallel of latitude: This is the highway that has been advo- cated by the MINER for many years, pleted within the next ten years.
 In connection with the proposed building of the great roadway we note that the Phenix papers are asking that that the road be diverted so that it will pass through that section, as there is not water along the line pro- jected through north Arizona and to the coast by way of Needles. Why, bless the little piggish hearts of the Phoenician editors, there is more wa- ter to be had along the line of the Santa Fe through this section than would irrigate every foot of land in the dusty precincts of Maricopa coun- ty. Tie dense brains of the editors of some of the Salt River valley papers ought to grasp the utter impossibilty of diverting a great highway even to accommodate those living on the other side of impenetrable desert wastes, but they have been so used to getting up hollar for everything in sight that they can not even let the govern ment build a road without shouting their heads off for an offshoot or a terminal from it. The road will be built, nevertheless, through this coun- ty by way of Ki~gman and Goldroad to Needles and then on to the Pacific. The territorial highway may furnish Phenix a connecting link with it, but that is all.

Cleopatra Mines Working.

F. A. Clark, who is consulting en- gineer of the Cleopatra Arizona Min ing & Milling company, in report re- gently given out states that the mines on Bill Williams Fork, in this county. are being operated by good force of men. Shafts have been sunk to depth varying from twenty-five to fifty feet and a good grade of ore proved up throughout a zone 100 by 300 feet. The veins are large and occur in lime. The company is understood to be con templating the installation of either diamond or churn drills to prove up a larger area of ground. The veins dip away from the horizontal about twenty degrees, which makes it possible 10 get good results with drilling. It is said that the ore so far proven up will average six per cent copper and from five to ten dollars in gold. These are the mines recently taken over from Charles E. Price, Jack Barnes, J. w. Morgan and E. F. Thompson.
