In our age ana times, when men seemed
to care for no restraint, there was need OF
Authority. Men recognized at all times the
necessity Of society Of some kind. Even the
sayages were bound together for protection
and defence, and in higher grades men re-
co%nized the imperative obligation OF social
union. God, who was the creator Of the
natural law, gave also divine law in di-
vine dispensation, and in this, too, was the
element Of union essential But society
needed for its protection daw. Yet what
restraint did human law place on men !?
Was the number OF criminals lessened by the
laws? Did not our cities contain terrible
examples OF the failure OF merely human
laws to restrain mans base passions? Law
might cause man to hide his misdeeds,
lest hssuferthe penalty OF his wrong doing,
but It touched not-and could not touch
the root OF the evil, because, being human,
it could act reach the conscience. mol so

History Of the Diocese.
In ga Memoranda of the History of the
Catholic Church in Richmond Since the
Revoution." prepared by Hon. A. NJ. kei-
ley and published several years ago, it is
claimed that Virginia. cas- part OF the
Spanish province of Florida, was Catholic
before she was Protestant that the beau
tiful bay which washes our shores was first
named by Catholic discoveries, in honor of
the Blessed Virgin, Santa Maria Bay, "and
that there was log chapel dedicated under
the protection Of the Immaculate Mother OF
God, on the banks Of the Rappahannock,
more than three centuries ago-a third OF a
century before the first successful landing
was made at Jamestown"
THE FIRST MASS HERE.
In the winter Of 1912, Father Dubois
visited Richmond, bringing letters OF intro
duction to some OF our most eminent citi-
gems, and the General Assembly being in
session, he was invited to celebrate Mass in
the hall Of the House of Delegates. the pre-
sent capitol having just been completed. and
there was offered the first Mass ever offered
in Richmond.
Five or SIX years afterwards mission
was established here. Thenceforward the
growth OF the Chureh was steady il not
rapid.
In 1890 the Catholics of Norfolk, then
more numerous than those of all the rest Of
the State, having petitioned for the erection

the Capital would be increased by
it's removal to Phoenix, the peo-
pie of Yuma are tired of the per-
nic1ous legislation that has al
ways accompanied strife for it's
possession, and are willing to let
the Capital rest a while where it
is. If, however, the good people
of Prescott are unwilling to let us
remain in this amiable frame of
mind, but insist upon irritating
us by threats and nauseating US
by cajolefy, it is easy enough for
the people of Yuma to instruct
delegates to move the Capital to
a more accessible location. Our
men will obey instructions-if
they feel like it.

People who knownothing about freight

which has miles of sand both north and
south of it VIA Smiths mill and thence to

various reasons, and never will be

Peoples Valley is miry, and the crust will

condly Antelope Mountain is Impractical

THE railroad graders will work

THE railroad graders will work
pretty near to the old Oroville
ruins. They may be lt1cky enough
to find two yeast-powder cans full
of gold dust, which were left
there in 1872 by old Gardner.
He buried the gold near the old
house while he was drunk, and
could never find 1t again after he
got sober. Gardner mined there
and kept boarders in 1868. He
made quite a raise and went off.
Eight years ago he came back,
and, after a few years work, he
went off again, with considerable
gold, besides having dissipated
great deal here in Yuma.

ABOUT Thanksgiving Day an
old Mexican was camped on the
Sonora road, about eight miles
from Mission Camp. Two COM
patriots, afoot, came upon him
and robbed him Of horse, outfit
and some forty dollars in cash.
He walked in to- ella, and
told his story. Two Mexicans
from Yuma took the thieves
all, and overlook them beyond

had secured another horse. rs

fective, poetic justice must be
swift and sure. We give the
story as we heard it on the
ground.

A WONDERFUL place is "Tinajas," about
thirty miles south east of Mission Camp.
The mountains have one face of hard
smooth granite. All the water falling
upon this basin has to flow through nine
tanks, one above the other. The lower
tanks are of easy access, and are often
drained of their contents by men and
animals travelling between Yuma and
Sonora. The upper tanks are approached
only by circuitions and difficult climbing
over rocks: to one standing below they
afford no indication of their existence, nor
does climbing the smooth, steep noun
tain-siaeseem possible to one unacqualnted
with the way to do it. In the upper tanks
water has never been known to fail. To
this water comes game of all kinds, in
great numbers, from the great waterless
country around Tinajas. Antelope, noun
tain sheep, and deer of several kinds come
in herds: Rabbits and hares are as
plenty as anywhere, and are prey for many
coyotes and beautiful little rock-foxes.
One would think that ali this game would
be thinned ont by the Papago Indians who
inhabit tire country. But these Indians
are superstiti6us and avoid Tinajas with
abject terror. Within two miles Of this
water are certainly one hundred and fifty
graves, and probably more; each marked
by rows of stones laid in from of a cross.
Scores of men famish4tt for water have
expended their last strength in reaching
Tinaias, only to find the lower tanks dry,
and. ignorant of the upper ones, have lain
down in despair to die. Their remains
have been buried by later travellers, and
/ the graves marked, Mexican fashion by a
icross Of stones: During the rush to the
gold-felds of California cholera attacked
adventures On the road from Mexicco, as
it did American immigrants along the
Platte: pestilence combined with thirst to
gather corpses at Tinajas. Recollection
of bleaching bones and grinning skulls
protects the game from Papago arrows
and flint-locks.
After passing through its usual fermen-
tation the water becomes clear and pure
as any in the world: it comes from the
clouds only and flowing into the tanks
over insoluble granite, it carries no min
erai matter. Every heavy rain pours a
whirling torrent through the tanks, wash
ing them out to the very bottom: no
organic matter stays behind:
The number and variety of birds here is
marvellous: many of them appearing to be
of new and undescribed' species. AT
morning and evening the din of their song
confined by sides Of the mountain, Is
almost deafening. All around Tinajas is
the remarkable vegetation Of the desert
near its tanks are many and curious
plants nourished by their moisture. The
place is one Of much interest
