ways knocking the city in which he
lives is a community enemy and 4
public nuisance; the man who is in
different about the possibilities OF
/ his city is a hindrance TO the best
/ progress o. that city: il is the nal
who lives by his faith who is the
real public benefaetor. Faith in
ones community is the very founda-
tiOn of good citizenship
A man should have faith in hui
mainly. The man who does not feel
the touch of humanity moving into
the undiscovered future and who
does not go forward, shoulder to
shoulder, with the marching host
with a deep and abiding faith in his
heart that it is a march from viz
tory unto victory, is not only dis
loyal to the highest and best, but
he is missing from his life some of
the deepest things that make life
worth living. Humanity has come
2 long way. toiling up the Calvary
of time and its way has been guild
ed as a cloud by day and a pillar Of
fire by night by the mighty faith Of
men who have caught the vision OF
the sunlight gaining on the shade
This must be a sad old world for the
man who has lost his faith in hu-
manity, who seems to think that it
is travelling toward nothing it set
out from. 1t is such q thought that
inspired old Omar to eXclaim:
All! Love, could you and | with hir
conspire
To grasp this sorry scheme of things
entire,
Would not we shatter it to bits and
then
Remould it nearer to the hearts de-
sire.
The mistake here is the assump-
tion that we are living in fixed
sorry scheme Of things and that ii
is not within our power to mold il
nearer to the hearts desire. why
bless your heart, that is just what
the men Of faith are doing and have
been doing through the ages, mould
ing this old word of orr nearer
ever nearer to the hearts desire.
Above all man should have
faith IN God. The man who has
banished Goa from his philosophy is
poor indeed Life loses all semb-
lance of purpose and all that is
worth losing. Man becomes merely
4 fuugJs growth on the fact of this
vhirliag sphere we call the earth,

The mine managers in Sonora have decided to stay with their properties irrespective of the warning. Again Americans have been warned to leave Mexico. The message from the state department came to Consul Simpich at Nogales, in the form of a tele- gram from Secretary Bryan.
 In conference held in Douglas the heads of the various American min ing companies operating in Mexico decided not to suspend operations hoping and believing that this sec ton of Mexico will not become in volved with the United States.
 Following is the text of Bryans telegram to Consul Simpich

Old La Paz Wash

The department of the interior has sustained a decision of the Phoenix land office, including within the Par ker Mohave Indian reservation large tract of land in western Yuma coun- ty, near the Colorado river, on which a California company had started eX- tensive placer mining operations. The whole matter depended upon the To- cation of Old La Paz Wash, and this was determined by the testimony oi a. number of pioneers who hVed al La Paz or Ehrenberg prior to 1875.
 We have referred to those olu placer grounds in these columns seV- eral times. and the decision is what we have expected.

When the tanks are re- erected, thorough test of the treat ment will be pursued, and if the process continues to be satisfactory the tailings will be treated on a very much larger scale. It will be neces- sary to handle largely, for there is an immense pile of tailings, the re- suit of an accumulation from the 4O- stamp mill operating over twenty years.

 The total ore reserves as of De cember 31, 1913, are placed at S9,- 643000 tons averaging 1.64 per cent copper Of this tonnage, 72.322, ,000 tons are sulphide ores averaging Ill per cent. These figures compare with the tonnage reported at the close of the preceding year of 45,000,0OO tons averaging per cent. The only ex- ploratory work done during the year was the drilling done in the Live Oak group In this section. 6,S5S,000 tons. averaging 1.39 per cent copper, were developed.

sumers from buying freely and for this reason the favorable statistics for the month of March passed with out having any particular influence on the metal market.
 The outlook for copper is better than for most industries, owing to the
 existence of a foreign market for it and because of the gradual consump- tion of surplus stocks during the
 past three years, but it is not very bright at the moment as Europe has laid in considerable stock for future consumption and our own manufac- turers are not getting the expected increase in the demand for their prod = ucts. The copper industry is so closely related to the expansion of
 railway and other facilities that in a broad way the future is decidedly bright.

The property was recently examined by a well known mining engineer, and since then all the necessary funds to carry on active work have been raised It is expected that the future work will be planned and commenced by May l.

talllngs from the old mill on the property have been concentrated for their vanadium contents and cIanided twice. The vein is a large and per slstent one. and there is no reason to doubt that there is long and sue ceSsful future career for the old prop erty. The vein produced the most beautiful specimens of crystalline vanadium and probably more beau tlfully than any known mine. The mine supported a thriving town at
 Mammoth, and we are glad to again see new life put into the old mine and district by the Young brothers. They are substantial and energetic mining men. and no doubt a prema- nent camp will be built up.
