Quartz Reduction Works.

It is certain that active and intelligent mill in Pima county, for the reduction of gold and silver ores Careful examina- tions of mines and late discoveries of ledges are now being made with reference to thls enterprise. It is not, we under stand, question of means to construct, but of the best locality in which to con- struct the works. That there is an op- portunity to operate one or more mills profitably in this county at this very time, we have no doubt, There has not been so much work upon mines in this county within the memory of men living here, as there is now, and prospecting parties are out In every direction and are constantly bringing in specimens which if found in California or Nevada, would set the mining operators wild with ex- citement.
 It is beginning to occur to some of our leading men that the true and certain prosperity of themselves lies in stock. io1oiAS aHu ulul1S, huQ IL lS Ouc Ol Lue most hopeful signs of the times, locally speaking, to observe this turn of affairs. Scrambling for and even the getting of government contracts are uncertain in their results. One successful mining and milling operation in a community is worth much more than a military post, and the man or men who secure it have no fear of being busted or of failing to control it beyond single year. The pro- ducts of miners are available at all times, and often government funds are not to be had for long time after earned. It will be happy period in Arizona's history when agriculture, stock-raising and min ing shall be our chief supports; and instead of figuring for another govern ment contract, the figuring will be to open and put in paying condition another mine, or collect another herd of stock, or bring into cultivation another piece of land. With a couple of years more of Gen. Crooks war power over the Apaches, we think this happy period will be nearly if not fully reached,

WITHIN couple of years, several citi- zens of Arizona have desired to engage in the banking business with national bank. Eighteen months ago, the only way to procure circulation was to go into the brokers offices in the eastern cities and purchase, at premium, bills Of suspended banks and surrender them to the comptroller of the Currency and get in their stead new ones. There Is now no difficulty in getting @ circulation direct from the Treasury Department, as the fol- lowing late Washington dispatch shows;
 Under the provisions of the new cur rency law eastern National Banks are generally surrendering portions of their currency, preferring their bonds on de- posit as security for their circulation, they having on hand more currency than need ed. This gives the Controller of the Cur rency plenty of circulation to meet de- mands for the new bonds, There is also available five million of circulation of suspended banks, and the three hundred and fifty-fOur million issue under the old Act is not quite gone.

To some extent the supply of grain in the Rio Grande valley affects the price of grain in Arizona. The Mesilla News of July has this to say upon the subject:
 The wheat in this valley is about all har- vested and saved. The wheat has neither suffered from rust, smut, nor insects. The grain is plump, heavy, and firm, and the yield above the average. We have had reaped the reward of their labors in one of the most bountitul crops ever harvested in the valley, From the present outlook pri- ces are likely to rule high for wheat. The increase in the mining population. the failure of crops in other places, with some other causes, will make the demand fully equal to the increased production.

INMY NEIGHBOR,s GARDEN.

In the bound of mine own inclosure The flowers are fair to see; But the rose in my neighbours garden Is fairer than all to me. So white and slender and stately, So gemmed with sparkling dew, This rose, that blooms for another, Is the sweetest that ever grew. My heart to Its grace and beauty
 Goes forth as to shrine; And sigh to it's mystical fragrance "If it were only minen' And yet, if not my neighbor
 But I, in fee and thrall, Held all that marvellous glory
 On the other side of the wall, might, perhaps grow weary Of it's royal pomp and grace, And love with my love some daisy With shy, uplifted face. For since the gates of Eden
 Were shut on Adam and Eve, The flowers we have are never
 So sweet as the flowers we leave; And rich within my garden
 Though many a flower might be, The rose that bloOmed for another Might seem the best to me,

The New Policemen,

The Council has increased the force
from seven to eight,-a marshal, a deputy
marshal, two day watchmen and four
night watchmen The new men are as
follows:
w. w. Curtis, who, we learn, is only q
few weeks resident of this State and not
voter. He is from Maquoketa, Iowa, and
a brother of former policeman named
Curtis. He has family; lives in Crop
per row, opposite Union Square. He was
formerly resident here, and was then in
the employ of Darts Sons, and if the
stories about him while there are true it is
bad appointment
James Parke, from New Jersey or the
East, is a single man, formerly fireman in
the glass works; boards at Haller's brew,
cry.
VIM. Ohrt, formerly an employee in the
gas works, has family, and did reside OF
Rock River street in theiThird Ward
George German, formerly policeman
worked in Egglestons wooden mill; has {
family and lives in the building on Buffalo
street adjoining the wooden mill.
The men not reappointed are NJ Murrin
James Snyder, p Feeley and Jacob An
thony.
Inc new men are certainly no improve
men on those left off.
No better men for duty can be found IN
the whole city than Murrin and SNYDER and
the Council made a bad mistake in not So
curing their services. The business men and
property owners will regret that they are
not to serve the people the coming year
Ii there are any men who are feared BY
thieves, robbers, inccndiaries, law breakers
etc. 1t is Murrin and Snyder.

Street Commissioner,

The city council, last night, abolished the
system of street supervisors, for the wards,
and established the Office of City Street
Commissioner, elected John Warner to the
office, and fixed his salary at $1,000 a
year-equal to 5000 to each ward supervi-
sor. The same system was tried some
years ago, but changed back again after
one trial. Mr.. Warner did not seek
the position but he is confident that
the plan is much preferable to
the old system. He thinks that about
$4,000 year of the peoples money has
been wasted, by the old system, for many
years, and that he can do more for the
city with one-half the usual expenditure,
than has been done.
Mr.. Warner has had large experience
upon public works and we doubt if bet
ter man could be found in town to give the
new system fair trial. We hope he may
realize his highest expectations and the
expectations of his many friends, among
whom we claim to be counted.
His first act should be to procure from
Joliet heavy wide stone for crossings at all
the most public places, -wide enough for
three persons to walk abreast, and place
them above the level of the streets, and
have them cleaned off as often as may be
necessary.

Snubbed

The fifteen hundred people who petition
ed the City Council on the license question
may consider themselves snubbed. Per-
haps the members of the Council wished
to show their contempt for the little bit OF
thin flattery in one of the resolutions of the
meeting held in the Presbyterian church,
about their being elected for their moral
and upright characters ~ That part of
the resolutions certainly deserves nothing
but contempt, for, by inference, it declared
that the men who were not elected were
not men Of moral and upright character. 3"
1t was offensive to the defeated candidates
and their friends, and was sneered at by
the successful ones 1t did not command
the honest approval of anybody.
But, the resolutions and the petitions
having been received and laid over should
have been called up and acted on, and not
lodged. 1t is cowardly to pigeon hole
them and shirk any action whatever. The
petitioners have right to hearing and q
right to demand that their servants take
some action upon them.

FEVER AND AeuE, CHILL FEVER. &c.

A few months after having commenced
the manufacture of DIR. Piercc's Golden
Medical Discovery, the proprietor began to
receive numerous letters from all parts OF
the Western and Southern States bestowing
the most 1,bounded praise upon it for hav-
ing promptly cured the writer's or their
friends of Fever and Ague, or other forms
OF mlasmatic, or malarious diseases. He
was repeatedly urged to make known the
wonderful virtues of the Discovery in the
cure of Ague and kindred diseases. He
always replied that it was not intended for
cure all. and should he recommend il
to people as remedy for SO many differ
ent forms and classes of disease, he feared
those who had never tested its virtues
would at once class it among the numerous
humbugs of the day. This answer was
satisfactory to no one; they argued that
the whole country ought to know it at once,
and expressed their establishment at his
indifference to the subject. His ear and
heart being at all times open to the call of
suffering humanity, he has at last. after
having received testimony from hundreds
who have been speedily cured by it. and
many OF them after quinia and all the
usual means had failed, consented to make
the matter known.
DR., PIERCE:
Dear Sr-Having used few bottles of
your Golden Medical Discovery and believ-
ing it to be the very best medicine for
Chills and Fever | wish to buy it by the
dozen, please give me your price for it.

formed, and,on the 4th day of April of the
same year the present post office was es-
tablished, and Joseph Conway was the
first postmaster. On the 9th of November
1885, the name was changed to Stephenson
and Joseph Conway continued On the

The Public Library,

To the Editors Of The Rock Island Argus:
The sentiment of this community is I'M
animous that the library is most valuable
institution and must be sustained. 1t now
very greatly needs money for the purchase
OF books and more money than the City
Council can give it. A very nice sum may
e realized for it out of the )llector' office
if the people will see to it at the caucuses
that proper nominations are made.
1t does seem at this juncture as if petty
office seekers, bummers and the ike should
be compelled to get out of the way of a
movement which is for the benefit of the
entire public. The argument now used by
the little ring of pap-suckers is that to give
the Office to library candidate would be
establishing a bad precedent. Such a
precedent was established long while
ago by George Washington when he refus-
ed to take pay for his long and arduous
services in his country's behalf For many
years that precedent has been cried against
by party hacks and only too successfully.
1t is time for the peoi lie to think little OF
the old and better days and show the bum.

public spirit still left Let tie good
