ToNTo BASIN MINES.

The mines of Tonto Basin are coming to the front and will eventually take their place with the best mioeral lodes in the Territory Messrs Hill and Brown of Pres coir, who are interested in the ToDto Basin country returned yesterday from trip of inspect on la that place, bringing samples from some of the ledges that are ex eeding- ly rich in ire gold. The Zulu. a mine i2 ice. wide, aud carrying high grade quartz from vail 10 wall, ass iyiag $lS0 to the ton Is creating qai,e an excitement with pros- pecIars and m ning me1. It isowned by Me.srs Hl, Samuels. Smith X Gowan, who are prospecting the ledge with view of putting it in a shape for practical working and perhaps sale. It cannot remain long in an uupraductive state, as it is one of those valuable properties that is hound to come to the front. Extensions on the Zulu have been made on both sides of the dis covery claim, making the entire distance located about three miles. The same con- Dany have located other mines near the Zu- !u which are said to be quite valuable, but as yet lsitle has been done on them, there fore, their real extent is yet question.

Make Haste to Grow Rich.

Commenting on the evidences of re-
renewed prosperity, which it thinks the
country does not more than half appre-
ciate, the New York Herald closes very
sensible article with the following con-
seryative advice:
Whoever has managed to lay by a
lit..le money has now the Opportunity to
fling it away in speculation. On every
hand citizens are invited to become sud
denly wealthy by putting their means in
mining and other speculative ventures.
We advise everybody to steer clear OF
sdch things. There is, no doubt money
to be made in mines, but it will be
pocketed not by the credoulous public,
but by the gentlemen who dispose OF
stock to A, B and @ as a special favor
The public never gets rich by gambl-
ing. The haste TO be rich brought sor-
row and suffering to hundreds OF thou--
sands in the past ten years, and plunged
the country into the dreary abyss out Of
which it is just now emerging. Another
such fever Of speculation would send us
to n yet lower deep, and leave us there
to founder.
"There is still an abundance Of legiti-
mate and safe securities in which
men can invest their means with GER
tainty Of moderate but constant re-
turn. There will presently be an IN
creasing number of legitimate pow enter
prises, many of which, resting for their
value on real services to the country,
will also be safe. There is land, farming
and city real estate, both new low in
price, and the last to feel the impetus of
q rise; iudicious and careful investments
in real estate at present prices are pretty
certain to bring handsome profits by and
by. All these are real things not fam
cies. They are property sure to rise in
value with the growth of the country,
and having a substantive value they are
safe for investors. But we counsel and
urpe everybody to avoid fancy and Wild
cat investments promising large divi-
dends and sudden fortunes. There ia
nothing in them but loss

Old Mining Camps.

An old mining camp in the growing
hours of dusk has an air of the most
peaceEuH aeqpseenee with The ways of
Provielsa. There is nothing else like
1t in the universe. The sleepiest fisher
village which ever clung to black cliffs
above the lazy breakers and the white
shore will rouse when shoals of herring
ell the bay. or when the winter storms
come with their wild rage bearing some
doomed ship on the foaming rocks; the
sIeepiest village of the valley grows,
though slowly, by increase in the value
Of lands, and the drift of Improvements
in the community. But the old min-
ing camp is mystery to the thoughtful
inquirer. If man moves away, there
his house stands and rots into a pile OF
kindIing-wood. Yonder was pretty
garden on the slope, but the progress of
the mines has cut the water bitches,
which, now cannot reach it, and SO il is
neglected and barren. Here is build
ing-solid brick walls, iron shutters,
door which would withstand seige; it
was bank once, where exchanges could
be had on London, Hamburg and all the
great centers of trade; now it is plas-
tered over with red paper signs and oc-
cupied by a score of narrow-lidded, yel-
low Chinese. Yet there are quiet,
shaded cottages and the most lovely Of
homes in almost every one Of these old
mining camps. Take little turn apart
from the decaying business center of the
town, and you will find what would de-
light the most care-hardened traveller.
Quiet men sitting on the doorsteps and
watching that last quiver Of sunlight In
the pines which is SO eternally new and
glorious; fair women, ia summer gar
ments Of white, standing by fragrant
pillars Of roses; ehubby-faced children,
full of healthy merriment, slipping in
and out among the trees, or playing on
the terraeed bit Of grass plot beside the
grape trellis. All ne have at last found
out the charm Of many 3 mountain

Harriet Hosmer.

Harriet Hosmer, who has gained more
reputation as sculptor than any woman
in America, is the daughter of physician,
and was born at Watertown, Mass, some
forty-nine years ago. Naturally fragile,
her father encouraged her to lead an
outdoor life, and to take great deal OF
exercise. She was taught to ride and
shoot and develop her body in every
way. She grew into hoyden and was,
rs may be supposed, rather masculine in
her tastes and feelings; but she was
physically strong, which was far more
important She went to school at
Lenox, and there met the daughter OF
Wayman Grow, of St. Louis, between
whom and herself close friendship was
soon formed Miss Grow afterward be-
came the wife of a nephew of Charlotte
Cushman, the actress. Harriet early
displayed talent for modelling, fitting UP
a rude studio in her fathers house, and
filling 1t with clay models. She went to
Boston, received few lessons from the
artist Stevenson, and then visited st.
Louis, to see her schoolgirl friend. The
medical college there was then the only
one in the Republic which admitted
women, and she entered it to study
anatomy, so essential to the prosecution
of her art. She resided with tie Crow
family, and bus fer their social position,
would probably have been tabooed by
general society, mainly French, very
conservative there in those days, because
of her studcnthood at medical college,
her attendance on scientific lectures at
night, her going home without escort,
and generally independent ways, which
were regarded with amazement and gen
eral disfavor. Through the generosity
of her friend, Mrs Hosmer was enabled
to realize the dream of her art life in
Rome. She there studied under Gibson,
and her first regular works were the
ideal heads Of Daphne and Medusa,
purchased by Samuel Appleton, Of Bos-
ton. She then made the statue Of Ben
ton for st. Louis stands in Lafayette
Park and the Zenobia, in the Mercantile
Library of that city was ordered by
W1yman Grow. Her other works arc
we'll known. Save n brief visit to her
native land in 1857, she has lived in
Rome since she first went there, and her
studio is one of the first places to which
wandering Americans wend their way.

Two WAYS Of Saving the Same Thing

The art of sayingiustenough is learned
by very few. When you direct people,
make your directions short and to the
point. Says a writer in the Portland
transcripts:
Brcvity is the life Of speech, aswell IN
the "soul of wit" and shows force of
character in those whose conversation is
governed by it. Entering n druggists
store in Saco ono evening, inquired the
way to the house of a man who carried
on business near by.
The proprietor quickly replied; "First
right, second left, second house on the
right" Thanking him, | was turning
away, when a bystander, wishing to re-
lieve himself of the superabundant fund
Of information which he possessed, spoke
up;
Hold on, now, and I'll tell you where
he lives" and then delivered himself
somewhat as follows; "You 60 along
this street down that way,"-pointing
with his finger in n vague sort of way
towards bottle of tincturo of rhubarb,
"curve round gradually till you get to
q street that runs the same way as this,
only pass by the first one you come to.
Then go right along that street, crossing
two or three other streets, until you get
to a meetin' house; then, little beyond
that, on the other side, is large brown
house, You can't help seeing it."
could not begin to follow him in
telligently, nor did try after the first
dozen words The druggist laughed,
noticinglny bewildered look, and fear
ing / had forgotten his simple directions,
repeated: First right, second left, sec
clubhouse on the right" With n "thapk
you" and mixed feelingof amusement
and relief, l passed out.
