had been abandoned, for the last forty years. From reports made by this engineer appears. that the old mines contain very rich capper ore, in considerable quantities, although at the time the mines were worked in former times, the yiell was only to per cent, and the yearly produce about two thousand cattles which were sent to the Yunnan mint to be coiard into cash. A
company therefore had been started, composed entirely of merchants of the province, to work these mines. In accordance with precedent, an annual tax should be levied, but to encourage the merchant classes, to invest in such enter- prises, Tang Cilin recommended that no tax ques should be levied on the mines in tion, which are situated forty distant from the prefectural city of Wel-ning-chout among the Liang shan range of mountains, until the end of the year 1891. He also prayed that he might have permission given him in the event of any officers of the different. yameas, whether in Peking or otherwise, attempting to extort money from the mining companies, to lay the matter before the Throne, and bring the offenders to book.
The second memorial refers to the Yunnan copper mines. The Governor General complains that owing to capital being very scarce to work the mines in question, and in consequence of the unhealthiness of the regions where the minea are situated, labor was hard to procure; the bricks of tribute copper sent yearly to Peking from Yunnan, are roughly made and in irregular sizes, which have led to constant inroads being made on the copper, whilst in transit for the North, by persons in the provinces who reaped considerable harvest by cutting off the edges of the bricks, and then passing them on to the next province, in which the same reducing process was made, so that when the copper; arrived at the seaboard towns for the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company to ship to Tientsin, that Company refused totake delivery owing to the immense discrepancy in weight, als though the number of pieces remained the same. To obviate the recurrence of such peculations, the Memorialist advised that these copper bricks should be made like the Kuri Chou lead bars, having the year they were made, their weight and the mixing company's name stamped on them. But the annual tribute copper, by law, should be one hundred thousand eatties in weight; owing, however, to the unhealthy reasons that have set in of late years, labor has been scarce and hard to procure, and accordingly the Governor General was petitioned by the Miners on the subject, when they stated their inability to obtain the amount of copper required by law, and requested that the weight should be reduced to fifty thousand calties per annum. After a searching investigation, the memorialist is now able to endorse this petition, and there fare recommends the Throne to grant the peti

The Detroit Free Press presents the following extracts from the " Arizona Kicker," to show the trials and tribulations of "an editor in a wild Western country.
MANY THANKS.
On Tuesday last we were seized with an attack of Apache colic, and within ten minutes from the time the grip first took hold, we were tied in seven kinds of hard knots, and wanted a mule team to hold us. It should be explained that this colic is next door 10 Asiatic cholera, and when it takes held, it means business at whole- sale rates,
We were seriously ill for two days and nights, during which time we had scores of callers," and nur friends were anxious to extend every nid. During the ten hours in which it was thought we must turn up our toes, business was mostly suspended in town, and our condition was bulle tined every fifteen minutes. Our warmest thanks are due to our friends and acquaintances, and the public generally. We are now about well again, and shall be more careful in future. This town cannot afford to lose us just now, and we realize, more than ever, that our death would be a serious set back to the entire State.

Some three weeks since, the Kicker made the, statement that Charley Johnson, proprietor of the Iron Roof whiskey-hole on Apache avenue, was driven out of Tucson for his general bad character, and we threw out a suggestion that our Vigilance Committee might hit the nail on the head by attending to his case. Mr. Johnson has called at the Kicker office, and shown UR letters which satisfy us that we made a mistake. Instead of being a bad man, hefs a very humble and contrite individual, perfectly willing to be kicked and cuffed about, and be left Tucson because the people objected to his breath, which is not exactly identical with new-mown bay. His breath is all right here, and he proposes to take right hold and become one of us, and aid in the work of making this town a second Chicago. WE DEFY THEM,

HOW DISRAELI DIED.
Dr. Kidd, who attended Lord Reaconsfield during his last years, has contributed to the Nineteenth Century some reminiscences of the Tory statesman, which will be read with interest, Amongst ther things he says :---
night with Dr. Mitchell Bruce and myself. At 1 a'clock we summoned Dr. Quain, Lord Barring ton and Sir Philip Rose to witness the end. Lord Barrington was the first to arrive, and at once joined Lord Rowins in a loving clasp of Lord Beaconsfield's right hand; his left hand was laid in mine. Soon afterward Dr. Quain arrived. It touched us all deeply to see the dying statesman rise up in the bed and lean for ward in the way he used to do when rising to reply in debate his lips moved, but no soun came. He fell back on the pillows, and in abou ten minutes, without suffering or distress, bis spirit passed away,"

"The greatest difficulty was to get the patient to take exercise. My grandfather,' he said to to me, lived to ninety years; he took much open-air exercise. My father lived to eighty, yet he never took any. Lord Beaconsfield tried to steer a middle course, but the utmost he could be persuaded to take was a short walk two or three times a week, if Loud Rowton or some other pleasant friend a lled in accompany him : otherwise be easily fund an excuse for not going out. His slow pace in walking prevented aim from getting much benefit from it.

For many years his life had been a sedeniay one; presuming on his hardy constitution and the fact of his father's great age without open-air exercise, he considered it a maiter optional in his case. He had the excuse of urgent occupation in his political and literary life to hinder it. Yet nature has a Nemesis power of revenging herself on the man of sedentary life. In the end the liver suffers. In one of his letters to his sister he 'I have recovered from the horrors of a

"The character of Lord Beaconsfield was most singular. To those without his manner was that of reserve and coldness, with a proud expression of power and lofty aim. But to the charmed Inner circle of his friends there was à bright, genial glow of kindness shown which made all feel at ease. At first manner apparently cold and distant, but directly you struck the chord of sympathy, most cordial and responsive. In the company of ladies his face became most animated. All the activity of his mind became freshened into new life, and he spared neither time not trouble to interest them. An old lady, Mrs. De Burgh, hearing of his aghma, sent him a pot of Stockholm tar, with a note advising him to expose it in his bed-room at night. It proved helpful. An ordinary Prime Minister in full work might have written an autogriph note of thanks ford Beaconsfield found time to v.sit her in Eccleston square to thank her for her kind present,, much to her delight.
At the last session of the Common Council, Alderman Jim Jackson got his bow legs, under him, and stood up to remark that he was in favor of taking the city printing away from the Kicker because of our abuse of that official body, The city printing 1 Ye gods ! All our bill amounts to for the last quarter is 70 cents! Yes, we have talked pretty plain to the Aldermen. There isn't an honest one in the whole gang. There isn't a man of them who isn't soaked in whisky two-thirds of the time, and who wouldn't lle, cheat, steal, rob or embezzle on the slightest provocation. As a gang, they ought to be sent to the State prison on general principles, and the sooner the better. If the Council Imagines that the Kicker will keep still on them for 15 cents a week, it is making a great mistake.
