THE Surveyors of the Texas Pacific Rail-
road Company, couple Of years ago made
careful examination of the bed of the
Colorado river between the Heads, over
which they located their line. They
pushed down steel rods to a depth of
seventy-two feet before striking rock.
This sounding seemed 10 indicate de-
post of sediment over sixty feet deep.
The piles, forming the piers of the South
ern Pacific Railroad bridge here, were
driven down few more than thirty feet
before striking what was taken for bed.
rock. An immense quantity OF rock has
since been dumped around these piers,
and has sunk down out of sight. 1t GER
tainly appears that what was taken for
bottom" must have been an indurated or
cemented layer of sand, like those found
in excavating the mesa at this end of the
bridge. Driving piles into this layer may
have broken it up, thus letting the rock
drop down into, Lord only knows what
depth of mud and quick-sand. But the
stone train keeps on bringing rock; and
the bridge seems to be as solid as ever.

REPUBLICAN, victories in the
late elections at the East have
done much to consolidate the
party. From long continuance in
power it had become bold and too
tolerant of corruption. This drove
from it many men of strong Re-
publican principles. The vigor-
Gus shaking-1p administered to
it by the Democrats, during the
past four years, has done much
to purify it. Recent disclosures
have shown the hypocrisy of the
Democratic cry of Reform" and
that human nature is about the
same in all parties. The seceders
are now coming back. In other
Territories elections have been
held on party lines. The same
course must hereafter be followed
In Arizona. Republicans here are
greatly encouraged by the late
proofs of the strength of the
party, and, without doubt, will
feel disposed to perfect organiza-
tons in this Territory before the
next election. So be it. Ari-
IONA is a Republican Territory,
anyhow. This fact is amply
demonstrated by the vote just
cast for Davis and for Stevens; as
a rule, Democrats voted for the
other candidates.

The arrival here, last Monday,
of carload of oak, poplar and
other wagon timber for the U. S..
Quartermaster at Yuma Depot,
indicates construction of more
ambulances. The value of this
climate for thoroughly seasoning
timber is beginning to be univer-
sally admitted. It is more than
likely that all wagons hereafter
required for the Military Depart
ment of Arizona will be built
here. The Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company is said to be Sc
Tiously contemplating the cree
ton Of extensive shops here for
the manufacture of passenger
cars. The wonderful dryness of

HOnors to Glen. Wilcox

During the visit of General Wilcox at
Tucson he was the recipient of perfect
storm of honors. On Wednesday evening,
the 9th instant, General Wilcox and his
staff Captain Craigie, Lieut.. Wilcox and
Lieut.. Touey) were elegantly entertained
by Mrs. Pomroy, wife Of our popular U. s.
District Attorney, at dinner There were
also present the officers now stationed
at Camp Lowell. The next evening Mrs
Pomroy gave soiree dansante at the resi-
dence of Major fowler, which was mag.
nificent affair. The ladies were all elegantly
attired, the officers were in full uniform,
and most of the gentlemen were in even
ing dress. The supper was truly gas
tronomic marvel, and wine, mirth, music
and conversation streamed ceaselessly
until daylight disturbed the scene. There
were thirty ladies present and some forty
gentlemen, among whom were General
Wilcox, Captain Craigie, Captain Rafferty,,
Major fowler, Lieutenants Carter, Wilcox,
Gardner and Touey, Captain Martin, Mill
itary Storekeeper; Mr.. Ben Truman, Spec
ial Agent Of Postof1ice Department; Mr..
Clum, editor Of the Citizen; Mr.. Fay, editor
of the Star; Doctor Lord, and Messrs.
Ochoa, Fish, Zeckendorf, Anderson, Drake,
Farley, Farrell, Stanford and others.
The next evening Mrs. KATE rendered a
reception to the General, which was also
pleasant affair.
The next day Saturday, the 9th inst,)
General Wilcox was the recipient of de-
ieuner at the hands of Miss Mumford, who
does the honors of the Williams mansion
in the absence of Mrs. Williams, who is at
present in the East. Miss Mumford &C
quilted herself very handsomely and pre-
sided with the grace and ease of a more
mature entertainer. There were present
ON this occasion Gen. Wilcox, Capt Graf
gle, Lieut.. Gardner, Lieut.. Carter, Lieut..
Wilcox, Lieut.. Touey, Major Ben Truman
and Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Austin.
The same evening grand winding-up
party was given by Mr.. Estevan Ochoa to
the General, and nearly three hundred la
dies and gentlemen were present. 1t was,
in all probability the largest private party
ever given in Tucson. Dancing was kept
up until nearly four o'clock the next morn
ing. The supper was in the best Spanish
style, and champagne flowed as freely
as water. The house was elaborat3ly
ornamented and decorated throughout,
and the gardens were beautifully illumi-
mated.
The next morning the General and his
staff departed for Prescott, and were TO
arrive there about to-day or tomorrow.

The McCrackin Mining Company 4

The McCrackin Mining Company Is
rapidly perfecting arrangements for
making full settlement with its creditors,
and for resuming work upon the mine.
The total of its outstanding and unpaid
drafts does not exceed $4,000. Its in
debtedness to White 81 Allen, on account
Of mill-construction, offers no serious
embarrassment; the larger part Of it has
been paid from fixed percentage of pro-
cceds of the mine, and the balance is TO be
paid in the same way, as per contract. A
proposition Is now being made, and
generally entertained, that creditors
accept payment on account of their
claims, and give the company time in
which to settle the balance. An assess
ment of $4,000 is being collected which
will be enough for Carrying out the terms
OF this proposition; after which, no
trouble is anticipated in borrowing money
enough, on the property, to provide a
fund for mining and milling until regular
shipments of bullion can again be laid
down at San Francisco. An entire
ly new Board of Trustees now con-
trolls the property, and is fast
restoring order to the company's
affairs and inspiring stockholders with
confidence. There is so much concurrent
testimony as to the size and value of ore.
bodies now accessible in the mine, that
there is no longer room for doubt that the
McCrackin will be turning out bullion
again as soon as matters get Strengthened
out at the San Francisco end Of the
concern-the Arizona end has been we'll
enough all the time.

CARGA MUCHACHo is once more turned
loose. Van Arsdale bought rich gold
mines out there from Chris Horner, getting
time for making payment. Ogilby bought
them from Van Arsdale for an English
company, at an advance on Hornerss
price, also on time. y force of men was
put to work, and Il line property was soon
shown up. Then Ogiiby sued Van Ars-
dale, and apparently expected that the
latter would fail to make his payments to
Horner, and enable him to buy the mines
at Horner's price. Then Van sued Ogilby,
and seems to have beat him, after nearly a
years litigation. All there is here now of
Ogilby is his name applied to the railroad
station near the mine. Van Arsdale is
back again, and has already set a force Of
men TO sinking the main shaft down 200
feet this winter

THE election is over, and II Is
time to lay aside the orn-out
yarns" that have figured so
conspicuously during the cam
paign. Considerable acrimony
has been engendered, which time
alone can mitigate. Very little
reflection will reconcile most men
to the general results of the cleo
ton, and convince them that it
really matters very little whether
their candidates were elected or
not. Of the four men seeking
the office of Delegate to Congress
it is hard to say now which of the
four could have done Arizona the
least good at Washington. In
this County little excitement is
likely to be continued until peo-
pie get tired of it; just as they
tire of the continuous grind of a
hand-organ, be the music ever so
sweet. Two local candidates are
said to have been elected by ma
jorities so small, that the throw
ing out of one or two precincts
viii give the offices to other can
didates. Whether any contest
will be made or not is, at present,
hard to say. There is some beat
ing of tom-toms and laying-in of
ammunition-but so far it is all
on one side, and public interest
in the racket is fast waning. a
few men have private animosi-
ties to crafty, under a pretense
of public duty; these will, OF
course, keep people by the ears
as long as they are permitted to.

A common falacy was well answer.
Ell at the great Chicago mass meeting
by Judge Lawrence. 1t is claimed
that the payment of the bonds in silver
would impair the nations credit. Up.
on this point Judge Lawrence said:
If that were true. should say that,
SO long as we are right and just, our
power to borrow money at a low rate
Of interest abroad is of vastly less con-
sequence than the preservation of our
people at home from ruin and starva-
ton. But the proposition is not true.
1t is a most transparent fallacy. All
there is of truth in the assertion is
simply this, that bonds which are pay
able in gold or silver at our option will
not sell for so much in the present
state Of the markets as a bond payable
only in gold. But that is only imma-
terial. If we can. sell a per. cent
gold bond at. par abroad in gold, we
can sell per cent silver bond at par
abroad in silver, and if the silver thus
received will pay a per cent bond at
it's face, is it not the same to US? No
man ever yet impaired his credit by
insisting upon hisright to pay his
debts according to his contract, and
there is no danger that the credit Of
our country will suffer from a like
course. Foreign bankers Will not dis.
trust our adherence to our contracts
in the future because we insist on
adhering to those made in the past.

Itseems that in Wisconsin the fight
was squarely between the hard-money
men of both parties and the Green
hackers. A correspondent of the Fon

which they had long affiliated. and
voted and worked for the Smith ticket.

cal change in their political views,
but because they did not want to COM
NIT the state 70 an endorsement of
the greenback theory. The same is
true of republicans whose financial
views were not in accord with thaCof
their party, and who east the greater
portion OF the $4,000 vote which Allis
received in the state.
IN fact. the feeling on the money
question was SO intense throughout

probably true Of the rest of the state,

cans to the Greenbaek party is plainly
shown by the immense falling off in

and by the election of two Grennback
assemblymen, who drew their support
almost entirely from the Republican
ranks.
The writer further claims that ths
greenback vote. Democratic and In
