Product
of
Arizona's
Mines.
The Decreasing Ratio of Silver
Output.
A Vast Increase Anticipated In
Production of Gold and
Copper.
the
The past year for the mineral in
dustry of Arizona has been of pros
perity far ahead of anything known in
the ten years preceding. Silver, it is
true, is ibeing produced in diminishing
quantities, but gold and copper are
coming forward in even greater ratio
to "take the place of the white metal
in the annual reports.
As near as can be estimated at this
date the mineral product of Arizona
for the year 1895 was as follows:
Gold, $6,200,000.
Silver, 375,000 ounces.
'Lead, 400,000 pounds.
Copper, 60,000,000 pounds.
The gold product is several millions
in excess of last year. It has come
from a very multitude of sources. The
stamp mills have ground it out of the
oxide ores, and have concentrated it
from the sulphurets; it . has been
gleaned by the p-lacer miner from the
creek beds and precipitated from old
tailings in cyanide vats; it has been
found in copper ores of Jerome and
ihas been extracted from rebellious ores
shipped to Colorado and eastern smelt
ers. The gain in gold ihas principally
been from the pyritie ledges of Yava
pai county, now being explored in all
energy and with aill success.
The silver, and tine quantity is about
the lowest ever noted for ai year's run,
has mainly been obtained by the re
duction of gold ores in combination.
Several silver mines, however, have
been lately awakening and '96 will
doubtless see a production of over a
million in silver.
In copper there has been a rise from
the product of '94. In '94 as well as in
the greater portion of "95, the Old Do
minion -works at Globe had been closed
down. To '95 they have contributed
not over a million pounds in '96 they
may be expected to produce ait least
15,000,000 pounds, .what between the
three large furnaces of the Old Do
minion company and the plants of the
Phelps-Dodge mines that will soon be
at work.
At. Clifton the sulphuric acid leach
ing system has been added by ithe Ari
zona Copper company for the reduc
tion of low-grade base ores and with

the most gratifying of success, and
with a decided addition to the amount
of black copper produced. The De
troit Copper company's works at Mo
renci are now being practically doubled
in capacity and have very mountains
of rich ore upon which 'to work. The
same may be said of that most curious
of copper mines, the United Verde of
Jerome, and of that tremendous car

Gold and copper are of a surety the

TRAINS TELESCOPE.
Fatal Accident on the Baltimore
Ohio .Railroad.
CINCINNATI, Dec. 31. Two pas
senger trains collided at 7:30 tonight
no the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern
railroad, fourteen miles from this city.
They were the Louisville express,
which left this city at 7:05 p. m. and
ithe St. Louis accommodation, due here
at 7:05. The latter was an hour late.
There were two killed and six in
jured. Both engines were totally
wrecked. The combination car of the
Louisville express and the express car
on the train from St. Louis were tele
scoped. The dead are Fireman Wil60n of
the Louisville express, and an un
known man, burned under the wreck.
The cause of the accident was the
failure of the operator at Storrs sta
tion, within the city limits to report to
the Louisville train an order to wait at
Delhi and let the St. Louis train
pass it. .
MYSTERIOUS INSURGENTS.
Spanish Authorities Don't Seem to
(Wnow Where They're At.
(HAVANA, Dec 31. There is still
much uncertainty regarding the move
ments of the insurgents. According
to official reports they are in full re
treat, but it has been intimated Gomez
.was making for 'Cienfuegos, with ithe
intention of capturing that seaport.
An announcement made today would
however seem to show that Gomez is
in the vicinity of. Jaggney Grande,
south of Colon in the same province.
A most uneasy feeling prevails, and
it is believed that serious fighting has
taken place near Caliente and that the
meager facts .made public do not begin
to tell the tale.

A Quiet
Day in Both the
Houses.
Preparing Abroad to Gather In the
Promised Issue of
Bonds.
1
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3L In the
senate today Senator Perkins of Cali
fornia asked unanimous consent for
the consideration of a resolution di
recting the committee on finance to
report an amendment to the house
tariff bill laying an additional duty
on raw sugar equal to other increases
of the bill.
Senator Chandler's resolution di
recting the committee on naval affairs
to investigate the prices paid iby the
government for armor plate and
whether any officer of the government
was interested in the patent process,
was adopted. ;
In a speech Senator Mitchell of Ore
gon declared that no industry had re
ceived such a staggering and deadly
legislative blow as that inflicted upon
the wool industry by the Wilson tar
iff act. It drained from the United
States within the last year $85,000,000
in gold to pay for foreign wool and oc
casioned a loss to the wool growers of
this country of more than $100,000,000.
Unless this legislation was changed,
the sheep industry of the Pacific coast
would be annihilated. Mitchell re
ferred to the condition of the treasury
and the president's appeal, and added:
"While providing at the earliest pos
sible moment for legislation which
will produce a sufficient revenue to
relieve :he administration of its pres
ent embarrassment, other important
questions should not be lost sight of in
the performance of our patriotic re
sponse to the president and we should
legislate so as to reprieve from the
danger of desfrrciion one of the
greatest ir.dust -iricken doJVii by
the Wilson, tariff act." Mitchell said
the tariff bill passed by the house
would probably increase the revenue
$40,000,000 a year. Amended as it
should be by affording wool, lumber,
barley, hops and other agricultural
products adequate protection it will
give an additional revenue of $50,000,
000 and place a padlock upon the so
called endless chain by which gold is
drained from the treasury, stop a"
necessity for a further issue of bonds
and rescue from impending ruin the
wool and other agricultural interests
of the country.
Senator Sherman introduced the fol
lowing resolution;
"That by injurious legislation by the
Fifty-third congress the revenues of
the government were reduced below
its necessary expenditures and funds
created by law for the redemption of
United States nates have been invaded
to supply such deficiency of said re
serve; that such misapplication of the
resumption fund is of doubtful legality
and greatly injurious to the public
credit and should be prevented by re
storing said fund to not less than
$100,000,000 In gold coin or bullion, to
be paid out only in the redemption of
United States notes and treasury notes,
and such notes when redeemed, to be
reissued only in exchange for gold
coin or bullion." '
IN THE HOUSE.
A Formal Meeting and Then Adjourn
ment. WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. The last
session of the house for the year 1895
was purely a formal meeting lasting
but a few minutes. Chaplain Couden
in the prayer asked that party conten
tions might be buried that the Nation
might advance with the motto, "One
Flag, One Country, One God Forever,"
and concluded: "With malice toward
none, with charity for all, let our Na
tion stand as an example to the world
with justice written on her brow."
At 12:15 the house adjourned until
Friday.

to Gath-
NEW YORK, Dec. 31 The Evening
Post in the last edition says a contract
was signed 'this morning by all mem
bers of the new bond syndicate, sub
ject to formal acceptance by the gov
ernment. The syndicate agrees to fur

ounces of gold, amounting to about
$200,000,000 in gold, the government
to take half this sum first and to have
the option of taking the other part
and deliver four per cent, thirty year
coin bonds at about the same price as
paid for the last issue of bonds, the
managers of the syndicate to receive

price at which the last bonds were
taken was 104.49, at which they yielded
3 per cent interest.

THEY FOUND THE HEALER
Schlatter Is Going to
Central America.
Interview Near Wingate, New
Mexico.
Going Where the Father Leads-He
Will Rest with the Zunl
Indians.
Albuquerque Citizen: "I know now
why the Father has kept me here so
long," said Francis Schlatter to three
wise men from the east, who had
sought and found him Christmas day
in the house of a Mexican two mile:;
west of Cabezon. "Now I may pro
ceed on my way as He wills," added
the mysterious -personage.
Francis Schlatter was seated before
an open fire reading a well worn copy
of the -Bible,- as the three gentlemen
invaded the lowly premises. He had
on a sweater and a pair if overalls and
a canvas coat, rne scene was some
what emblematical of the Biblical
story of the wise men.
These, too, had brought gold, if
frankincense and myrrh, but
goodly sized purse was refused by '
Healer, who said: "I have enough,
(Father provides for me."
The three wise men in this instance
are E. P. Houston, of Evansville, Ind.,
receiver and general auditor of the
Peoria, Decatur & Evansville railroad:
J. Wm. Snyder, a banker wlH resides
at Paris, 111., and L. H. Stanley,, a
prominent commercial traveler. They
returned last evening from their long
journey in search of the Healer, and'
through the courtesy of the obliging
night clerk of the San. (Felipe, The
Citizen reporter was introduced to the
gentlemen who were found assembled
in room 51.
"Yes, we found iFrahcis Schlatter."
said Mr. Snyder. "We -were determin
ed not to stop until we ih-ad .found him.
having come so -far to see him."
Then 'Mr. Houston narrated the. in
cidents of the trip, supplemented by
remarks from the other gentlemen.
"We left Albuquerque with a four
horse outfit the day before Christmas,
provisioned for a Ions' search. The
rig was from Johnston's livery stable,
and Morton was the driyer. We styled
him 'Governor - Morton.' That night
we stopped at the' Zia' Indian pueblo
and were well treated by those good
Indians. They did not know where
the Healer was, and sent a courier out
in search of him. They -had a picture
of Schlatter .which they got in Albu
querque and no money could buy it.
In the morning the Indian messenger
returned with the information that 'the
Healer had been seen going in the di
rection of Cabezon. We made an early
start and reached Cabezon at 3 o'clock
in ithe afternoon where we learned
that Schalatter was stopping at a
Mexican settlement itwo mile3 west of
there. We went on without stopping
and finally found him sitting by a fire
in a Mexican house reading a Bible.
Schlatter received us and said he
knew now why the Father had kept
him so long before proceeding on his
journey. He gave us an hour and a.
half of his time, and we are very well
satisfied for having made the trip. If
there is a saint on earth, he is one."
Mr. Houston was enthusiastic in
praise of the Healer and expressed
great faith in his healing powers. He
we the principal subject of treatment,,
his left side having been stricken witto
paralysis. He says he was benefited,
by the treatment, and has faith in be
coming perfectly cured in time. His
deportment did not show much disa
bility on account of his ailment.
The Healer informed ithe gentlemen
that his journey lay towards Central
America unless the Father commands
otherwise. He will spend some days
with the Zuni Indians on their reserva
tion. (Early next morning he mounted hi
"white" horse they say it is a gray
horse and a fine animal and pulled
out. A courier returned before the
party leu Cahezon and said the Healer
had stopped for the night at a settle
ment abouAten miles west of there.
The gentlemen telll of a cure having
been performed while they were with
the Healer. Among the throng of
wagons that came in cna - bore a man
Who had .been run over by a -wagon and
badly injured. After treatment by the
Healer he rapidly recovered, and when
they were leaving -he was engaged in
fixing a handle in an ax.
One of the gentlemen said that if thu
Healer accepted money he could have
got $100 from them. Schlatter said
he was offered $5,000 to go to St.
Louis. He will travel rapidly, he says
does not feel the cold, exeept at night
when he sleeps out on the bare ground
The shoes made for him iby Tom Dye
show considerable wear and are split
up on the sides, showing his bare feet
On his way to the Zuni reservation,
the Healer will ipas3 Gallup or the vi
cinity of Fort -Wingpte. He 'a in
