The Best Mining Country in the World.
Arizona is tbe best and most exten
sive mineral belt to the world, says tbe
Prospect, the successor of the Pick and
Drill. Take the number of square
miles within her borders, and then
take the same number of square miles
in America, or in the wide, wide
world ; thea compare them, and Art-,
zona will stand pre-eminent. No such
copper veins any where else ; no such
silver and gold veins anywhere else;
no such lead veins anywhere else; but
they are as yet undeveloped why?
Simply because the superficial writers
and observers have pleased themselves
and sought to please their readers by
' ,ui 'i? Hi!'4 r.Vtv!.'. It Is easier to ;
vnw, 'desert," cwa!jde"-and,'(iUa

f.Uge-eoach or a raili ad; huow,s a
little about the mineral resources of
Arizona as the man, on this planet
kao.v a about tbe mineral resources of
the planet Mars.
But what, do- practical mining men
say after careful ivestigation? Tbey
all declare that Arizona, is the mineral
belt of the wor Id.
What do we read- from, the pen of
Baron Humboldt,, the-world-renowned
scientist and explorer?' He says: "Tbe.
mineral wealth of the world will yet
be found in Arizona."
What has- development proven ? It
proves that Arizona has tbe largest
and the best silver and gold mines, and
the largest and tbe best copper mines
in the world. In no state or territory
have- tbe mines paid for their own de
velopment as in Arizona
Until recently, Arizona had no rail
roads in, through or to her mining
camps, nor did she have a custom
smelter withiu her borders. The situ
ation in the- past was L The savage

(From the Phoenix Enterprise.
There is now ample proof at hand to
show that our governor, does- cot, on,
all occasions, stand on the. side of the
railroads. As evidence 'of this, he was
furnished transportation from Phoenix
to New York via Chicago for himself
and staff, to attend the Dewey wel
come at New York. Murphy went,
bnt his stafl remained, at home. The
governor negotiated, however and
disposed of the extra tickets that
were intended for tbe members of his
staff. Just bow much be realized on
the tickets is not knownbat it Is like
ly he got pocket money enough t paj
the hotel bills. Who rode on the extra
tickets?
Wad H. HuUnsr.who was. laa-ving
Arizona for Pittsburgh, Pa., to reside
in future, was one of them. Wade
procured a letter to a ticket scalper in
Chicago so he cooid- realize-on tlia- re
turn part of the ticket. Mose Draah
niaii, traveling man for Arlim-kle's
coffee p wauled to visi the firm in Naw
York, so he took another ticket. Fer
ry Williams, who keeps a station at
Maricopa, was Ihe third, and so on.
&us Hirschfald was invited,. but he did
not go, evidently noteariug to pay the
bills for. entertaining "royalty."
Thus it will be seen, instead of boost
ing for the railroads,. Oaken jobbed

At the recent meeting of the Ame'i-

Sua Francisco a verv m porta-! t pa,KT
was presented by If ofessur id. T. Hum
ble upon the occarreuttfr r.-f catsrtil eoki
in tbe Santa Clara coal-field in S:aora,
Mexico. This coke was discovered in
the courbe of explora'.'oea m ide by and
for tiitt auutuvru tac-me Kmroau com
pany.
This coal field lies in the ftgigh bor-
hood of La Baranoa, asmall town, 05
miles northwest of the station known
aaOrtiz on the Sonora railway. The beds
are exposed to view in the drainage
basin of Calera creek, a small stream
which empties into the Yaqui river op
posite Ton iche. The oki mining town
of Tarabuorari is near to the center of
the field.

Pat Trainer, one of the best known
and most noted cattlermcn of Apache
county, mysteriously disappeared just
before the commencement of the late
term of court. Pat was one of the
most successful cattle- raisers this por
tion-, of. the southwest has ever pro
duced.. WLen- he determined to
embark in the cattle business, be pur
chased an-oldvstAir, and that was the
only animal he was ever known to
have purchased. His herd increased,
hove"er(. until in three or four years
he had some four or five hundred head
oicatUe. flis cows were of a peculiarly
prolififc brwdund icvsriably dropped
twins and very glten triplets. Uis
memory r. as also-, remarkable. If a
dispute arose over any animal bearing
bis brand,, no matter how long it had
been since he had seen it, he could
describe eery hair, spot and; blemish
on- it, and swear positively to its
mother. But, it appears that Pat has
lost his eunoing and his country at
one and the same tima. Winslow

The New Mining Law,
It is not generally understood what
makes a lrgal.inining location, and. the . him during your late voyage to Eu-
following. are a few important par- rope.
"I am astonished to hear you aay that
Fraleman told you all these things; I
gave them tot. him in strict confidence."
'Yes, but he says you told them to
The coal is found in a s eriesof inter
bedded sands and clays in the upper
half of.the sedimentary triassic rock
formations, which are sometimes called
tbe new red sandstone. These for
mations have a di p or inclination to the
horizon of about thirty degrees, and in
a southeasterly direction. Tbe outcrop
ping edges of the beds therefore trend
northeasterly and southwesterly. But
this dip and tbe direction of outcrop
are often disturbed and changed by in
truded igneous rocks by which, the
beds have been lifted up and broken.
The beds, have also been folded and
faulted. The dip and direction of the
coal beds ha va thus been modified ' and
changed.
It is to tbe interjection of the igneons
or volcanic rocks we appear to owe the
:presenee of coke. Passing up.vard
through the sedimentary beds these
hot semi-fluid, lava like rocks oceasioH-
aly spte.id out between the beds like
great blankets, and being in parallel
layers with the coal beds the coal was
changed tocoke by losing its volatile
portions. In this way the coke ap
pears to have been formed, for in every
instance a close relationship of position
has been noted between the intrusive
rock. "In the two principal openings
the igneous rock either form the roof,
or is separated from, the coke by a very
thin band of slate and in both slopes
there are places where the coke holds
included blocks or stringers of tbe in
trusive rock." In another opening the
igneous rock forms the floor, and it
I sometimes fills small crevices in the
coke slong the line of contact. But it
is possible that the en .ngeuf the coal
into, eok-is not wueliy due-to igneons
rock, for one bd of eke has b-en
found. without thi bri
searching for coal outcrops along
Calera Creek. Fragments- of- coke'
were traced up to a- small ' bed at the '
mouth of El Tren. One bed, supposed
I to be coal only, opened oat into a body
i of three feet of good coke, und'-rieia by
two fe-at of anthracite coal. About
haif a mile west a bvdy of coko was
opened np whijh at the depth of thirty
feet was eight feet thick and over tea
f vet at a depth of ore hiicdrc l and
thi.-ty faet. Several desit. lav:u fc
thickness of from two to four feet have
been located.
The coke is described as dark grey in '
color, of even texture, with small pores, '
denser than most oven-coke and very
firm. It breaks with an even fracture,
but has in places the columnar strnc- '
ture of oven-coke. It is an excellent
fuel, burning without sparking or de
flagration. It burns well ia an open 1
fire, in the forge and in the assay -f urn-'
ace. The ash is whit.
I consider this discovery of the high
est value and importance to the south-west
portion of the United States, and'1
particularly to southern Arizona, where ':
fuel is so scarceand where it is so much
needed industrially, metallurgically
and for transportation. Tbe rapid
development of this new source of coke
seems certain.. It should add to the "
value of the copper deposits and the
lead and even possibly of the iron
deposit of Arizona. We should be' '
grateful to the Southern Pacific for '
making this important discovery,-'
through its able agent Prof. Dumble.'
The deposits of coal in Sonora have
long been known. It is now some'
twenty or thirty years since attention
was directed to them, by the lata- D. -Boyle
Blair and Mr. Jesus-Ainsa of'
Tucson, who long labored to enlist
capital for the exploration and develop
ment of this promising field.
