Washington was in his prime, and
all the forty-three years of his strenu.
GUS life he had been at school to learn
how such a task as this was to be per.
formed.
He had found the army not only
without proper discipline and equip
ment, but actually without powder;
and the winter had come and was
passing away before even that pri-
mary and perilous need could be sup
piled.
The men of that extemporized army
had been enlisted but for a few
months service. When their brief
terms of enlistment ran out they in
continently took themselves off; and
Washington's most earnest appeals to
the continental and provincial con-
crosses to provide for longer enlist
ments and an adequate system of re
cruitment did not always suffice to
prevent his force from perilously
dwindling away under his very eyes.
Providence Favors the Patriots.
1t was merciful providence that
disposed the British to lie quiet in Bos-
ton.
Such authority as he had, Washing
ton used to the utmost, and with a
diligence and foresight which showed
all his old policy of Thorough.
Under his orders few fast vessels
were fitted out and armed as priva-
teers at the nearest safe ports Mar.
blehead volunteers in the army were
put aboard them for crews, and the
enemy's supplies were captured upon
the seas and brought oyerland-the
much-needed powder and all--into the
American camp, while men-of-war
which might have swept the coast
lay just at hand in the harbor
Keeping Things Stirred Up.
No opportunity was missed either to
disturb the British or to get what the
army needed; and the ministers at
home, as well as the commanders in
Boston, grew uneasy and apprehensive
in the presence of so active and watch
full an opponent.
He was playing the game boldly
even bit desperately at times. More
than once, as the slow months of siege
dragged by. he would have hazarded
surprise and sought to take the city
by storm, had not the counsel of his
officers persistently restrained him.
Fighting in the North.
Only in the north was there such
fighting as he wished to see.
Montgomery had pushed through the
forests and taken Montreal (Novem.
Der 18th, 1775). At the same time
Washington had sent a force of some
twelve hundred men. under Benedict
Arnold, to see what could be done
against the little garrison at Quebec
The journey had cost Arnold four hun.
dred men; but with what he had left
he had climbed straight to the
Heights of Abraham and summoned
the British at their gates.
When they would neither surrender
nor fight, he had sat down to wait for
Montgomery. and when he came, with
barely five hundred men. had stormed
the stout defenses, in driving snow
storm. in the black darkness that
came just before the morning on the
last day of the year. Had Montgom
cry not been killed in the assault, the
surprise would have succeeded: and

had seemed to bring with her to the

Attest:
Mining Company to Use Rail
 road Grade for Auto Trucks.

Arrangements have been completed by the Minneapolis Copper company with the Randol ph offices, in Tucson, whereby the mining company has se- cured the right to use the roadbed connecting Nacozari with Cumpas, for it's automobile trucks.
 The roadbed, construction of which has cost the Randolph lines in the ighborhood of 1000, ,0OOs, runs from Nacozari south, and for the most part has been blasted out of the solid rock. Gangs of men are now working on the road, according to manager William Kemp, whose home is in this city. The company will be able to operate its auto trucks for the transportation of its freight from Nacozari to the mines. a distance of 56 miles, In about two weeks.
 All of the smaller culverts on the grade were put in by the Southern Pacific, before the work was discon- tinued three years ago this March, None of the large bridges were built however, and the force of men now engaged in putting the road in condi- tion for travel are cutting down the approaches to the bridge elevations, reducing the grade to a point where the trucks can negotiate them without any trouble.
 The new shelter will be blown in about the first of February.

Big Strike in Alto Mine.

A Patagonia dispatch says:-W What gives promise to be another strike of great importance in the Patagonia district is the wonderful showing now being made on the Fraser & McDon- aid lease on the old Alto mine located about eight miles from Patagonia. From a sack of ore brought in by Mr. Mcdonald this week assays made in Patagonia show the ore to be valued at more than 1l2. l4$ per ton and the knife blade streak found in the tunnel by Sam Fenwick has widened to better than four feet and still going. It is estimated by prominent mining men used to sizing up big things in copper that the Fraser-McDonald lease is going to develop into wonder and that the two Bisbee boys who have worked so hard and stayed with the game will come out worth large sums of money long before their present lease expires. It is given out by one engineer who made special trip to see this lease that Fraser and Me- Donald have now more than 1000, ,O00$ worth of commercial ore blocked out and ready for shipment to the smelters.
 Ed. Mcfarland came up from Mo- gales Tuesday where he went to get a lot of miners to work on his proper ty near the Worlds Fair. He brought with him l5 men and these will be started to work and development coh- tinred on his property. The show ing on his property looks good and he believes that within the next fifty feet he will catch the rich ledge he is now driving for and expects to start ship ments soon as he is Tn the ore.
 Two carloads of mining machinery and one car of mine tlmbers, consign. ed to James Hogan and shipped from Fl Paso, arrived Wednesday and is now being unloaded. MT.

The check turned over by the smeltermen represents net ranging from sos tc lO0S per ton, the principal values be- ing gold and copper.
