COMMUNICATIONS
From the surrounding country of local in
terest solicited.
Spaniards have found the “American
pig” a pugnacious little animal.
‘'The honor and dignity of Spain has
been sustained.” Their fighting quali
ties is about on a par with their honor.
Both of inferior quality.
From a “nation of shop-keepers and
money-getters,” the American people
have suddenly developed into a nation
of fighters.
Perhaps the “proud and haughty
Dons” will have a little more respect
for the “American pig” when this little
scrimmage is over.
After the war is over the Tribune pre
dicts that a resident of the United
States will not be required to hide his
identity as an American citizen in any
foreign country in order to get protec
tion. —Florence Tribune.
Gen. Blanco is reported to have said
that “he did not depend as much on
bis batteries as he did on his hand-to
hand fighting.”. The Spaniards will
fare even worse, when it comes to close
fighting, than they have at long range.
Secretary Alger evidently under
stands and appreciates the situation in
Arizona, judging from the following
telegram which he sent Gov. McCord
on the 30th ult: Two troops of cavalry
is all the population of Arizona will
admit of. Even if it did it would not
be wise under the existing conditions,
for obvious reasons, to withdraw any
considerable proportion of your na
tional guard for service outside the ter
ritory.
The Tucson Star says: “That was a
very kind and merciful act of Governor
McCord in granting permission to F.
G. Hughes to visit his home to join his
wife and family in sorrowing over the 1
affliction which has befallen them in
the death of their little son, Richard
Bland, who died Sunday last. There
. was no law, or rule, perhaps, which pro
vides for such an act, save the law 1
: which controls the generous heart and ,
mind of those who are ever ready to do .
good, where opportunity permits. Mr.
Hughes and his family indeed have the
sympathy of this community in their ;
bereavement, as well as in their other j
troubles. And the executive act of
kindness which permitted a father and j
husband to come 255 miles to sit by the
remains of his son, is one which will
not spon be forgotten.
The most important event of the war
| during the week has been the victory
won by Commodore Dewey over the
Spanish forts and fleet in the harbor at
Manila. Manila was a well fortified
place. The Spaniards thought it im
pregnable, and supported, as it was, by
thirteen naval vessels, |hey thought to
gain a decisive victory, instead, it took
the gallant Dewey and the brave offi
cers and sailors under him, just one
hundred minutes to silence the forts,
demolish the navy and place the island
under the stars and stripes.
The Nashville succeeded in captur
ing a steamer with twenty-nine Span
ish officers and important dispatches
to Gen. Blanco on board.
The War Department is hastening
preparations to invade Cuba. It ap
pears to be the intention of the Gov
ernment to take Havana with a land
force. It was with that purpose in view
that forts protecting Matanzas were
destroyed. They will use that port as
a base of supplies for the invading
army.
Orders have gone to San Francisco
from the Navy Department to charter
two fast steamers, load them with coal
and dispatch them to Commodore Dew
ey at Manila.
According to telegraphic reports
some of the European powers look on
the capture of the Phillipine Islands
with considerable disquietude. They
claim the United States is extending
her operations too far east. A possible
alliance between Russia, France, Ger
many, Austria and Spain is hinted at.
In that event the United States, Eng
land and Japan will be arrayed against
the balance of the world.
Who can tell when or how this war
will terminate?
Is intelligence a detriment to the sol
diers? The effort to raise a regiment
of cow herders gives color to the con
tention that ignorance is heroic. The
average cow puncher in New Mexico
and Texas is but little more intelligent
than the brutes in his charge, and his
bravery is principally noted in the
imagination of the eastern ten cent
story writer. —Albuquerque Citizen.
The above paragraph is a wholesale
libel on as brave, courteous and intel
ligent a class of men as is to be found
.in the southwest. The writer has been
thrown with cowboys a great deal dur
ing the past thirty years, and has found
them, as a rule, hospitable and liberal
to a fault, ever ready to extend a help
ing hand to the weak or needy. And
in point of intelligence they will com
pare favorably with any other class of
like numbers to be found anywhere in j
the United States. They may not pos
sess the polish and effrontery of the
empty-headed drawing-room dandy,
but they have an abundance of natural
wit and good, hard, horse sense. As to
; courage, they are inured to a life of j
hardship and danger. They run risks
every day they are on the range that
; the writer of the above paragraph could
, not be induced to take. Their daily life
i teaches them self-reliance and coolness
under all circumstances.
I The following is going the rounds of
! the press without credit, consequently
! we are unable to locate it, but there is
| considerable truth in it: “I have trav
! eled north, south, east and west for
I cattle,” said a leading trader, “and I
tell you they are notin the country,
and not even money can find them.
Even the calves are bought up, and at
big prices at that. My prediction is
that cattle will go'sky high in the next
year or two, and I would not be at all
surprised to see the present prices on
the market double in the next year.
The whole country is on the verge of a
beef famine, and it will be on the pub
lic before a great many know it.”
My Old Sweet Heart.
I met her in her girlhood’s years,
’Twas love at first eight;
I thought of her the live-long day,
I dreamed of her by night.
We met, we loved, we parted,
We both wed out of line;
We both have had our sorrows,
That naught can heal but time.
I met her in the after years,
She was in her widow’s weeds;
You ask me if I loved her still?
Your question logic needs;
Can true hearts ever love but once?
I loved her in the past,
And time can never change true love,
I’ll love her till the last.
As a maiden she was charming,
Or at least seemed so to me;
As a widow she’s bewitching,
As the mermaids of the sea.
As a girl she took my fancy,
Yes! she even reached my heart;
As a widow she’s surpassing,
And I’m pierced by cupid’s dart.
Could I look into the future,
I wonder what I’d see?
Do the streamlets run together,
That wafts both her and me?
When I write my true love verses,
Will she be the magic spell;
That wiil set them to sweet music?
That, God alone can tell.
Let us lean on God for guidance,
As he doetb all things well;
And listen to His wee small voice,
And on His truth to dwell;
Like Jesus say “thy will be done,”
And not this will of mine;
And love and pray, both night and
day,
Until the end of time.
Neroh De.
Winslow, April 30, 1898.
A Lost Gold Mme.
A dispatch from El Paso, Texas, says:
A sensation has been started here by
the arrival from Chuichuhua, a village
in the heart of the Sierra Madro moun
tains, Mexico, of J. Newton Fowler with
the news of the discovery by himself
of the famous lost gold mine of Tiora.
I The discovery was made on the evening :
of April 6th in a deep narrow canyon,
through which runs the Rio Chico, a
tributary of the Aras River.
Mr Fowler, while chasing a wounded
deer, came across the ruins of three
arastras and on investigating discov
ered a stone wall enclosing an open
ing. Cutting through the wall, an old
mining shaft was displayed and at the j
mouth were a number of crude old ;
mining implements, and going down 1
the shaft a few feet some very rich
specimens of gold were found.
If this is the old Tiota mine, as is J
firmly believed, Mr. Fowler and his as- j
sociates wiil receive $15,000 in gold j
from the Mexican government, a stand- j
ing reward offered for the discovery of j
the mine.
Please Remit.
Now doth the editorial wight bethink
himself a screed to write, and girds
himself with doable power to meet the
problem of the hour. Lone in his
sanctum does ho sit, while friendly
flies about him flit, and pens a leader
with great care, to lay his thoughts and
purpose there. And as he writes his
creditor doth pace the office breathing
war, and still his heated words do
blight the quaking editorial wight, who
writes the matter of his screed
although his riven heart must bleed.
Oh, woe of woes! Oh, blight! Here is
the leader that he writes:
To Our Subscribers—ls you please,
the Weekly Smiler’s needing grease, j
and we have this to say, to-wit: Will
those delinquent please remit; and to
assist them we will say, we’ll take mo3t
anything for pay; for instance, wood
potatoes, oats or promissory notes,
onions or barley, root beer, pop, alfalfa,
carrots, eggs (first crop), through our
! pants the wind of autumn sighs and
chants, and ever, ever seems to say,
“Why don’t the darned subscribers
pay?” Oh heed our plea, reject it—not!
For Lord’s sake, reader, do remit! The
kids need paregoric now. We’ve had
to sell the dratted cow. The last lone
hen has lost her breath, alas, poor
thing, she starved to death. Our watch
in soak is lost to hope; we cannot wash,
we’re out of soap; and when our last
shirt’s luster’s fled, I guess we’ll have
to go to bed. For six weeks now we’ve
lived on beans, and you who have tried
know what that means. We had a dol
lar but it went on our Januaro rent.
Next week the Smiler must appear on
wrapping paper and it’s dear. Our
raiment’s dropping bit by bit; for
Lor’s sake, reader, do remit. —A. J. W.,
in the Gallup Gleaner.
The Wealth of Arizona.
Arizona is one of the most law abid
ng regions of the entire country. Life
is as safe in the territory as it is in the
cities of New York or Chicago. The
infractions of the law are less in Ari
zona in proportion to the population
• than in either of these cities. More
robberies and deeds of violence are
committed in the large cities of the
east in proportion to population than
in Arizona. The telegraphic reports of
crimes committed in the territory do
an injustice. The people are intelli
gent and progressive, and have some of
the largest and most wealthy mines in
the world. One mine is commonly re
ported to be worth $50,000,000 and an
other is quoted at $30,000,000. There
are many smaller properties that range
from $6,000,000 or $7,000,000 down. The
school system is not surpassed in the
United States. No expense is spared
to make the schools fulfill their pur
pose in the highest degree. The total
enrollment in the common schools is
13,362, with 324 teachers.—Mining and
Industrial Review.
Threatened Invasion,
The expected is happening if reports
which have apparent reliability are
true. The threats that an attack from
Spanish sympathizers might occur
from across the line are actually as
suming shape and preparations being
made to carry them into effect, says
the Prospector.
Word has been received that Span
iards and Mexicans are organizing near
Frontreras all well armed and are, with
out doubt, contemplating some raid
across the line. When they are likely
to make a move is not known, but con
siderable apprehension is felt all along
the border and Nogales and Bisbee are
becoming alarmed. Fifty stands of
arms have been sent to Nogales’ citi
zens already by Gov, McCord and the
militia are in readiness there, while at
Bisbee it is reported Gov. McCord has
been asked to send some arms there to
protect the town.
The Mexican government has been {
notified and President Diaz, in antici
pation, has been stationing troops on
the border to prevent any such move. |
This may put a quietus on the raiders
and the fact that preparations are be
ing made on this side also for their re
ception, may have the effect of cooling
their ardor. It is well to be prepared,
Arizona mines and mining interests [
continue to brighten up. W T e would
suggest that a few capitalists who are
so eager to invest in Cuban speculation
come to Arizona, where they can get
good gold mines at half their value.
When capital gets its eyes open to the
fact that there is opportunity for safer
investment and bigger returns in this ■
region than Wall street ever afforded, :
I we can do a little business at a mutual
i profit.—Herald.
It is not generally known, but it is ;
! a fact, nevertheless, that Arizona con- ;
tains the largest virgin pine forest in
the world; that is, the largest unbroken
forest of pine. The forest referred to I
; touches the railway at a point near j
Flagstaff ard stretches for 170 miles
j southeast into New Mexico, having an !
j average width of forty miles. Five dif
ferent companies are now engaged in '
getting lumber from this forest. — ;

The Lordsburg Liberal says the cat
tle buyers have all left the country, and
some of them who have been making
contracts for April deliveries are ask
ing for an extension of time. It is re
ported that the banks are refusing to
advance money to cattle buyers; and
that many of them will have to lose the
forfeit money they have put up, all on
| account of the war scare. Why this is
thus is one of the mysteries of bank
ing. Ordinarily it would seem that a
war scare would advance the price of
provisions and that if cattle werß good
for a loan a few weeks ago they ought
to be better security now that war ex
ists.
California and Colorado mining men
readily recognize a good mineral coun
try when they see it, and for some time
the fact has been quite noticeable that
large numbers of the more practical
and energetic mining men of these two
states have been seeking investments
in New Mexico, Arizona, Chihuahua
and Sonora. It is encouraging to note
also, that these investors have been,
very generally successful in their ven
tures. It fact it could hardly have
turned out otherwise, where such prac
tical mining men sought investments
in regions so rich in mineral resources.
Southwest Bullion.
Speaking of Miss Aurora L. Seass
whose litigious affairs have for some
time been prominent and just now are
particularly so by reason of the Zech
killing, is well known as an energetic
and self-reliant young woman. Not long
ago an application was received by the
livestock board from “A. L. Seass” for
the recording of a brand. The applica
tion made it necessary for Clerk Har
rison to write to the applicant, and not
comprehending that he was transacting
business with a woman, addressed the
letter to “A. L. Seass, Esq.” a day or
two afterward Miss Seass appeared in
person. “I’ve a bone to pick with you,”
she said to Mr. Harrison: “I’m A. L.
Seass, but I’m not an ‘esquire.’ I’m Miss
Seass and the only lady cow-puncher
on the south side. —Republican.
There are but few Spanish symathiz
ers in this community and the few are
careful to refrain from airing their
views in public. This morning a son
of the Emerald Isle who understands
Spanish overheard two sons of manana
discuesing the Hispano-American situ
ation in a Washington street saloon.
One of them ventured the remark that
all “gringos” were cowards and would
run from a fight. The Irishman, who
understood what was said, felt hia
blood boil and before that Mexican
knew what had happened he was lying
j prone on the floor with o contusion on
! the back of his head from the force of
| the contact and another on his solar
Herald.
There is such a thing a3 treason
under the law. There is such a thing
as treason against the true spirit of
I patriotism. There is a spirit of trea
! son incubating in Tucson among so
called sympathizers with Spain. War
has been declared by the United States
against Spain and her allies, and who
-1 ever within the United States know
ingly adheres to Spain and gives her
aid or comfort is guilty of treason, and
the punishment of treason is death.
The knowledge and concealment of
treason without otherwise assenting
to or participating in the crime is pun
| ishable in the Territorial prison for a
term not exceeding five years.—Star.
