placed under arrest as they stepped
ashore.
Surrounded by detail OF Mexican
Federal troops they were marched up
and down the principal streets OF the
city. and finally taken to the police
station, where they were locked up.
One report OF the affair says the
United States flag was snatched from
the stern OF the whaleboat when the
arrests were made and carried and sub.
jected to the jeers and Kisses OF the
anti-American populace
There is no denial OF the fact that
the prisoners were made the subjects
OF an anti.American demonstration
though at the time OF their arrest they
had Just stepped from a boat flying
the United States flag, were wearing
the uniform of the United States and
were conducting themselves In an or.

rest was carried to Rear Admiral
Mayo. who demanded their immediate
release
The demand was complied with. but
the only reparation made was a brief
expression of regret for the alleged
mistake.

Mining Organizations Go Back to
 Mexico.

Writing Of the Mexican situa- tion, the Engineering and Min ing Journal says: The really tangible thing that comes to our notice is the definite assurance of a resumption of industrial operations. We hear directly of mining organizations that are going back to Mexico to reopen their mines. This might appear to be an inauspicious time, when there is no market for copper and only an uncertain market for silver. However, we fancy that the crippled and disorgan- ized mining operations of Mex ico are not going to become pro- ducers right away in any cir cumStances. Rather have they got to engage in construction to restore their destroyed, or par tially destroyed, property. This is likely to be matter of a good many months, and beginning now is probably not too early. It will bring cheer to the hearts of manufacturers of mining and metallurgical machinery and sup plies, whose Mexican business has been practically nothing for several years, and also will it bring cheer to the many mining engineers and other mining em- plOyeeS who have been chafing in distress through the loss of their jobs.

and essential factors in modern civilization. Such condonement, i however, does not suggest any | leniency toward those deplor- able methods whereby public SCI wants have in the past been rendered SubServient to others than their constituents, and by means of which the functions of legislation and government have been perverted to selfish ends.
 Corporate power can become vast influence for good, but to do so, it must first acquire dis pOcition to unite forces with the general public in the upbuilding of the State. It must inevitably substitute progress for retro gression and manifest toward the people such confidence and square dealing as it has a right to expect in return. Under such a diSpensatiOn, organized wealth ceases to become menace, as sumes it's proper place as a friendly ally of the general vel fare, and would undoubtedly find the people suddenly become friendly instead of antagonistic.
 In concluding this post-elec- tion statement to the people of Arizona, who have so highly honored me, I venture the ard ent hope that the greatest pos sible harmony and cooperation may characterize all depart ments of the State during the next two years, and that when the services of the new admins tration shall have been conclud- ed, the public may be pleasantly conscious of further marked ad- vancement toward an ideal gov ernment.
 For the fulfilment of such an ideal I pledge my utmost energy and effort, hoping for no other reward than the maintenance of a government in which every citizen, whether he wears over alls or broadcloth, may have such an equitable share as will insure an era of supreme happi- ness and prosperity for Ariz- ona's people.
 With sincerity and gratitude,

"StrongboY" Higgins Dead.

James Higgins, a miner en- ployed as hoistman at the Worlds Fair Mine, died at Har- shaw last Sunday (November 15,) morning of miners consump- tion. Saturday Higgins was in Patagonia and com plained of not feeling well. saying he had been in poor health for some time, but his sudden death came as a surprise to his friends. He was buried in the cemetery at Harshaw. He left wife and several children.
 Higgins was known to nearly everyone in this part of the state as 'Strongboy," a sobri- quet he had earned by physical prowess. Although of frail build he was remarkably strong until the disease which caused his death fastened itself upon him. Higgins came to this country in 1882 from Idaho and Montana, and was about 50 years of age at the time of his death. He had always been identified with mining, and was liked by all who knew him for his many fine traits of aracter.-PatagOnian.
