AN INSIDE VIEW OF THE SITUATION.


WHAT 4 VETERAN POLITICIAN WRITES PRIVATELY.
One of the most sagaciOus of the older school Oh
politicians in Washington. who is not now III puDhc
life but watches the progress of events with the
keenest and most intelligent interest gives the fol-
lowing candid opinion as to the prospects OF the
COMPROMISE in a letter to the Editor of HE IRiB-
UNE:
81 am afraid that the plan to arbitrate on the
Presidency will become a law. There is great lack
of nerve among Republican Senator's One reason
of this is that last session. under the lead of Mr..
Norton they voted for JOINT resolution declaring
that no electoral vote should be counted unless by
the consent of both houses. That resolution passed
the Senate and would have become law had IL not
been for a motion Of Mr.. Thurman to reconsider
While these men now say they voted WITHOUT COLI
sideration-and wrong-they have not the courage
IN now take the right course. Then again, the
threat of 'Tilden blood has alarmed good
many timid men. There are very few Thad. Ste
venses. Winter Davises, OF Ben. Wades here now.
Still. should it pass do not despair of the result
beine for Gov HAYES. | do not believe that any
man on the Supreme Bench Except Field, who be-
longs TO a very bad breed of dogs would be Wiling
to taTnish his reputation as a lawyer and honest
man by holding that the electoral vote of any state
given in accordance with the law OF that State, with
the law of Congress of 1892 and with the Constltu
ton can be thrown out and dlsregarded. In my
view the only possible danger Is In relation 10
Louisiana. The face of the returns showing a ma
iorty for Tilden il is claimed that the vote should
not be cast for Hayes. The answer to this Is, that
the State, having al undOubted right to appoint
electors in any manner it deemed proper did decide
that they should be appointed by the people subject
to the revision of the Returning Board. The Legs
lature could have appointed the electors direct 1t
could have authorized the Supreme Court to appoint
them and the appointment would have been legal.
If So the Legislature had constitutional right TO
authorize their appointment in the manner they
did.
Many of the Republicans who will vote against
the bill do not fear the final result but vote against
il believing it to lie wrong and unconstitutional
Your articles against it have had good effect. No
man that have heard of that has read them doubts
their correctness, though many of them Will vote
against their convictions! Is it not strange that
men will SO act Gen. Garfield is not wel-suitcr
ing from cold but should he be we'll enough when
the subject comes up in the House, will make pow
erfn speech against the bill He is the ablest man

ting to wrong only to avert civil war; The popu-
lar response would be qnick and resistless tney
imagine crushing their opponents under its weight
Besides the considerations mentioned, these Deiho-
Gratis believe that the compromise has los' tneih
almost az good chance of getting Gov. Iden IN "a
il Affords They now see or think they see that
majortyof the Senate could not have been depended
upon to sustain Mr.. Ferry counting the votes II
no plan of settlement had come out of the committees
and they think it possible that the Senate wouiu
have assented to the exclusion of the Louisiana re-
turns At all events, they declare that the pros
pect of success would have been oetter
without the compromise than with IL 'l,e
fifth Judge selected should be Republican, "iiiio
failure would have strengthened the party I'M
mensely Failure az the outcome of the compromise
scheme they apprehend will dishearten and democrat
ize the Democracy because it will bring Gov. hayes
in with clear title and open path to four years Oh
successful and popular administration.

J. CoNTRERAs' train is due today with a full load of Phoenix flour for D. Neahr. Neahr has mace arrangements for keeping it at fifty cents per hundred less than flour Of the same quality brought in from Cali fOrnia. There is no reason why an ounce of flour should be brought into Ariz ona from any place. Yuma county now rlises wheat to sell and has sold it to Los Ange- les mills. The Salt River valley alone can produce flour enough to supply ten times the population Arizona now has.

A NEW side track has been laid along the railroad warehouse and another at Rail- rockville, at the upper end of town. The 5000 gallon water tank at the foot of Madison avenue is in an advanced state of erection and, f; o n its commanding situa- tion, is the most conspicuous object around here. Its mate at Railroadville is finished and looks like a monster barrel, beside which the celebrated Heidelsberg vat would look like q slop bucket. The coal platform is loaded with coal to the guards and equipped with loading tubs, derrick and all complete. The bridge is about ready for crossing teams and next week ought to let the old ferry out.

SMALL POX seems to be talrly at an end in this section. No new cases were found last week and no new ones have turned up this week. Bowers and Stamlfer, of Pres colt, left here the day of the first scare and took rather exaggerated notions with them about it's prevalence. One of them told the Miner We had If cases and the other said l6 The actual number was ); of these two have gone home to Phoenix and the others were barely confiaed to their beds.

ON Monday came Col. John D. Graham, of the Aztec Syndicate, with eight fine, large Kentucky mules, good saddle horse, two ambulauceS and the most complete travelling outfit ever brought into Arizona One of the wagons was an ambulance built expressly for Dr. Dio Lewis famous Yosem- ite trip and the other was one just as 2 ,od. A couple of days were passed here in shve- ing the animals and putting the outfit into thorough good condition.
 On "Wednesday morning came Col. W. J.. Boyle, well known in mining circl S, and Col. R. J. Hinton, of the Post, both inter, ested in the Aztec district. With them came party of eastern capitalists, trav- cling .or pleasure, health and information. They are guests of the gentlemen named and will be shown everything of interest in Southern Arizona. Whether they make any investments among Us depends en- tirely on whether they see anything that suits them, and is secondary considera- ton. Their party consists of Col. Charles Tozer, an old Arizonian who has made one of h:s periodical "big raises" who knows the Santa Ritas and wants some: Dr. H. E. Allen, founder.and proprietor of the Med ical and Surgical Institutes at Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Atlanta and San Francisco; he is known as an able business man of ample fortune and has been very successful in mining enterprises in Nevada and Mon tana; MT.

l ng properties in Montana and takes an interest in such enterprises, though
 he is here chiefly in search of health. Mir.
 E. Conklin, an artist connected with Frank
 Leslie and agent of the American Press Association, is also q guest of the party
 and will take photographic views and sketches of the Santa Rita mountains, mines and other objects of interest. He has been
 out here before and is we'll and favO-ably known.
 Graham is puSher and is now trying to wake eastern people up to realizing sense of the extent and richness of Arizona's re- sources. Boyle is an old Arizona pioneer and an old Nevada miner. To advance the interests of this Territory he Las labored increasingly, both in the United States and abroad. He has interested English capi tali>ts here and they are doing work he.e now The party will take its time in reacl- ing Tucson. They propose to camp one night at the Casa Grande and sleep in the o d ruins-Ieve in the halls of the Monte zumaS.
 These eastern men arc prepared to over look llre newness and di ticLl.ios ftlecoLr- try. Thanks to Graham'S t.4uug htfUl care they can look leisurely upon its good points and have no incentive t. carp upon its bad ones. They are men who move at hom; in circles where Arizona most wants to be known and talked about. They will go b .ck with ch,arer and better ideas of he resources of the country than can be had by men travelling here with fewer facilities than theirs for obtaining informa. on. They will go back and be living, eloquent of ArizoLa and do TIT Ich to influence capital to seek us. We are sasis- fled that, if t..ese gentlemen will look with impartial eyes, they can form but one con- clusion-lavorable to us. Arizona has the resources and only wants just such chances for showing them. Tine dust and dreariness of lhe Gila road will be forgotten in the beauty and wealth of the Santa Rita moun- tains. The course being pursued by these gentlemen of the Aztec Synt icate is one that should De followed by others inter csted Ill the development of Arizona. In. stead of grumbling because capitalists will not cOme here on the strength of rich specimens and big assays, they invite intiu- ential friends to come and see what we nave here and provide every means for securing their guests comfort and pleas ure. The best proof of the merits of their mining property may be found m their anxiety to have people examine it.

A CAR load (ten tons) of blue vitriol and day for the McCrackin mill Above Fl Dorado Canon are immense bodies of pure rock salt. The old Hackberry mill before it was burned down, used to obtain its salt from that source; the Mormons bringing it down from Hardyville. As the boats are now running with great frequency, salt from that deposit ought to be brought down for supplying all the western part of this Territory.

How the railroad has cinchcd us! A year ago teams used tu come in here and lay up a week or two waiting for freight; there used to be one or two steamboats tied up to the bank nearly all the time; our stores got good prices for things, Sl4 case for coal oil and other things in proportion; q stranger could come in here and get ali the rooms he wanted at our hotels; we gol pa- pcrs from San Francisco within six days from publication and, having furgotteu our telegrams of the week before, their news seemed fresh; then, to get out of here, one had to cross the desert by stage to San Diego, and get to San Francisco from there by three more days of travel; that caused our citizens to stay at home and spend their money among us.
 Now how changed. More teams are running here and freight comes faster than they can take it. The boats cannot carry all the up river freight. Provisions and clothing are selling at prices that may be good enough for poor folks and working people, but that ruin the profits of our mere hants. Our hotels are crowded and several new rest. .urantS have been started. We can get to San Francisco in As hours
 ..l time. Ice, fruit, oysters in the shell and other luxuIies are causing us to waste our money. Let's go to Sonora, where rail- roads can't ruin us

I'VE MOST STRIKING ADVANTAGES 1 witch it offers above all other recent inventions of this nature may be briefly summed up as follows:
 1st. ITS CHEAPNESS-The cost of its erection Cor royalty and frei -htJ not eyreed- ing Sl500 for a capacity tv .uast aud chlo- ridze twenty tons per day, viz: brick work. 5000, and iron work ;including blowef, $500.
 2d. Short time required for erection. viz: If days after providing all material, with a sufficiency of labor.
 Sd. No expensive, heavy or complicated machinery being necessary, involving heavy height to the district where it may be required. Brick and clay, generally Ob- tainable on the spot, being the chief mate- rial required in its construction.
 4th. No skilled tabor or technical eXpe- riunce is necessary to work 1.-two ordinary laborers being sufficient to attend 10 it when in full operation.
 5th. It does not tasiy get out of order, and is readily repaired by an ordinary mason or blacksmith when it does.
 9th. The royalty, or license to use it, is exceedingly moderate, removing thereby all temptation to evade or infringe the patent.
 7th. Calculating labor at B per day, and wood at Sd per cord, the cost of roasting is but little over S1.5O per ton (ex-salt, when chloridIzed,) at these high California rates for labor and fuel.
 One of them is now in course of erection " the Aztec Coll and Silver Mining Con- pany, at their mill in the Aztec district, Santa Ei.a mountains, Southern Arizona At their office, 302 Montgomery street, rooms 14 and 15, a model may be seen and working drawings, with all further infor- nation necessary to enable any ordinary mason to construct the furnace, may be obtained from Col.
