mine, but wood is rather scarce This place will be without doubt a very lively and prosperous mining camp. Eastern capitalists are nego- iiatpg for the Chief prOpefty, with view of erecting large reduction works in the vicinity.
 From the Chief mine toward the Santa Catalena, the first five miles is over low, rolling hills, and from this rolling country to the base of the mountains the country is level, with a gradual ascent. As we passed over this plain we saw several large bands of antelope, and quite a number of large deer. The Santa Catalinas rear theIr heads four thousand feet above this plain, and are covered with snow far below the timber line There is little known regarding these noun tains, except that their Summits are covered with fine forests. Your cor respondent explored q portion of them last season, and was greatly surprised to find such a magnificent pine forest so near Florence and Tucson, Gt being about equal dis tance from each place,) an unknown wilderness, and no effort being made by the citizens of these two places to secure the much needed lumber. It is true it would cost considerable to build a road to this timber, but the expense would be merely nominal when coEpared with the mine of wealth this forest presents to the en- terprising American.
 The Santa Catalinas proper are the highest mountains in southern Ariz zOna, snow laying on their summits the entire winter, and today it is three feet deep. The mountains are rugged and very steep, and their side are furrowed by deep, dark canyons, presenting to the tourist the mos magnificent scenery that the mind can conceive. The foot hills sur rounding the mountains are scanned with rich mineral bearing veins, and covered with a fine growth of live oak and grass, making it tlie most de- sirable section in southern Arizona for mining or stock raising, as water is fonnd in abundance.
 There has been a great many mines discovered and located. Among the most prominent are the Old Hat, Golden Cap, Bandit, San Pedro and American Flag series, comprising four locations. The three former mines are gold-bcaring veins, carry ing from twenty-five to two hundred dollars per ton free gold, and are without doubt the finest prospects in this country.
 HIS AlrttiNt tA-CtS i-ACl Y 1hNuttH ments to Inc miner and prospcctoE than any district ID Arizona il is easy of access and there is abundance of wood, timber and water for every need, and thc climate is unsurpassed cool and pleasant during the sum mcr and not exceedingly cold in winter, for although the summits Nf the mountains are covered with snow the entire winter, snow seldom fall in the foot hills, and when it does, it never lies on the ground any length of time, and the time is not far dist ant when the people of Florence and Tucson will leave the oppressive heat of the valleys and pass a portion of the summer in the delightful climate of these mountains.

WINE FROM ORANGES.

The constantly extending ravages of the
phylloxera have induced the inhabitants of
certain wine-g growing countries to consider
from what fruit might be obtained pro-
duct which, by appearance, taste, and bou-
quet would most resemble the juice of the
grape. Experima ants have been made, and
he fact has been established that the liquid
extracted from the orange would constitute
a resource on which to fall back. The first
trials made showed that the oranges when
they have attained their full development,
are unfit for the purpose proposed, and
they must be selected, not when they have
become quite mature and superabound in
the sugary principle, but before they are
wholly ripe and still possess an appreciable
amount of citric and malic acids. At pres-
obtained from that fruit. One called i'm
p91ial, and q dry wine, are produced in
January with the fruit of the season; an
other, the mandarin is furnished by the
orange gathered in April. These three
sorts have a color pleasing to the eye are
perfectly translucid, have an agreeable
SAVIOR, with slight tinge of acidity, and an
alcoholic richness of about Is per cent
AS to the fourth, sparkling wine prepared
by special process, it possesses little more
than 12 per cent of alcohol. However,
the experiments made hitherto are still too
insufficient, and the methods of fabrication
too rudimentary for the article to be placed
upon the market. Besides, another very
important question arises, viz, if every
success is obtained in the production can
a sufficient quantity of the fruit be pro-
cured to replace the grape, and, if SO, what
will be the relative cost of wine from the
vine and the orange? Doubtless, attention
once turned in that direction, we shall be
provided with some sort of liquor, prob
ably of excellent quality, but we vastly
doubt whether the orange or any other
fruit can ever compete with the grape.

it at least are much better than those of
similar class SO often heard of. The
only claimants who stood reasonable
chance of getting the money of their
English ancestors were an Irish family of
the name living in Baltimore, and the
English branch that settled in New
Hampshire. 1t has recently been estab-
lished that the claims of the New Hamp-
shire Blakes, represented by E. W.
Blake, took precedence of the others, and
so much Importance is attached to the
chain of proof established that several
visits have been made to this country by
English lawyers to look up the details in
the matter Mr.. Blake is now searching
for the first name of his grandfather
Blake, which is necessary to complete the
genealogical line of his family, in order
to claim the estate, and claims to be in a
fair way of completing the line and es-
tablishing his identity as one of the heirs,
He requests any one who may have
known his father Enoch Blake, in New
Hampshire. to communicate with him.
Several members of the New Hampshire
branch of the family are residents of this
city, and as might be supposed take a
lively interest in the matter.

TO YOUNG HUSBANDS.

A young wife in Michigan had just got
settled in her new home. All seemed fair
and promising, for she did not know that
her husband was o drunkard. But one
night he came home at very late hour and
much the worse for liquor, When he stag
gered into the house the wife, who was great
ly shockek told him he was sick, and to lie
down at once, and in a moment or two he
was comfortably on q sofa in drunken
sleep, His face was reddish purple, his
breathing was heavy, and altogether he was
o pitiable looking object.
The doctor was sent for post-haste, and
mustard applied to his feet and hands.
When the doctor came and felt his pulse
and examined him and found that he was
only drunk, he said:
'He will be all right in the morning."
But the wife insisted that he was very
sick, and that severe remedies must be
used
''You must shave his head and apply
bGsters," she urged, ''or l will send for
some one who will"
The husbands head was accordingly
shaved closely and blisters applied.
The patient lay ell night in drunken
sleep, and notwithstanding the blisters were
eating into his flesh, it was not till near
morning that he began to beat about, dis J..
turbed by pain.
About daylight he woke up to most un-
comfortable consciousness of blistered ago.
MES.
''What does this mean?" he said, put
ting his hand to his bandaged head
Lie still-you mustn't STIR" said the
wife; "you have been very sick"
''I'm not sick"
ooh, yes, you are; you have the brain
fever. We have worked with you all
night"
II should think you had" groaned the
poor victim. "What is the matter with my
feet ?"
"They are blistered."
"Well, I'm better now; take off the bis
ters-do," he pleaded piteously.
He was in most uncomfortable state
his head covered with sores, and his feet
and hands still worse.
Dear" he said groaning, eff I should
ever get sick in this way again, don't be
alarmed and send for doctor, and, above
all, don't blister me again"
ooh, indeed I will; all that saved you
were the blisters, and if you have another
such spell should be more frightened than
ever, for the tendency, I am sure, is to
apoplexy, and from the next attack you
will be likely to die unless there are the
severcst measures used"
He made no further defense. Suffice
it 10 say he never had another attack.

''Mr. Landlord, want the best suite Of
rooms you have in the house"
This was addressed to Mr.. Spoford, of
the Riggs House, as he stood behind his
counter one morning recently. The gen.
tleman who used the words had just alight-
ed from carriage and entered the office.
He was tall and decidedly military in ap-
pearance. He wore fur cap, carried
heavy fur coat over his arm, and a hand
somely- mounted pair of field glasses in one
hand. His mustache was gray, but his
most striking feature was his eyes, which
were restless and wild
'Mr. Landlord, want the best suite of
rooms you have in the house."
Noticing that The landlord hesitated, and
perhaps thinking thath OWNED the reason,
the stranger continued
81 don't care if it costs $3.50 week. I
don't want any of your servants to wait
on me. Put all of them out, and I will put
in my own help"
''The hotel register was showed toward
him, and the stranger subscribed himself,
in bold hand, Henry w. james, late
United States Army"
Desiring bath, Mr.. James was directed
to the barber-shop. AS he turned away
from the counter, another gentleman came
up and announced himself as the brother
of the tall stranger, and stated that he had
just escaped from his guard at the Balti-
more and Potomac Depot. He further re-
quested Mr. Spoford to let him have what
ever he wanted, as he was perfectly harm
less, though thoroughly insane, and in
formed him that his newly registered guest
was the Col James of whom the papers
have spoken as having left the barracks in
Montana Territory and roamed over the
prairies for some days. until he was found
by the scouting party.
The two soldiers who composed his
guard having in the meantime followed the
demented lieutenant and arrived at the
hotel, they remained there to see that he
did not escape, while Lieut. Banarsdale re-
paired to the War Department to secure the
necessary papers for the admission of Col.
James in St. Elizabeths Asylum.
When Lieut.. Banarsdale returned with
the papers, Col. James called upon the
landlord for protection, and retiring behind
the counter intrenched himself there,
armed with an inkstand in one hand and the
Riggs House ledger in the other. He was
finally overpowered, and, despite his many
appeals to bystanders, was conveyed to the
ambulance in waiting at the door and driven
away to the asylum.
Col. James was formerly Quartermaster
ON Gen. Grants staff. His army record is
good. 1t is stated that he lost his mental
equilibrium through dissipation, although
his face does not carry any of the marks of
debauchery One of his hallucinations is
that he possesses unlimited wealth, and he
desires to travel and live like a nabob..-
Washington Republican.

LAND AT THE POLE.

About four years ago a farmer of Sur.
prise Valley found in the crop of a wild
goose o small quantity of grain the Like of
which he had never before seen. He sowed
this grain, and it grew ard fourished, pro-
ducing more than hundred fold The
straw and beardless head are said to resem-
ble wheat, while the grain looks like rye,
but is twice as large The farmer has now
many bushels Of this cereal, and has sent
samples of it to be planted in various places
i'll California, when food for cattle is not
easily obtained at some seasons, as the
stalk of the new grain, when cut before
it is thoroughly ripe, makes excellent
hay.
An old sailor, after reading an item
which has been going the POUNDS Of the pa
pers in regard to the new cereal, the sub
stance of which item is given above, finds
his memory refreshed. 1t brings to his
forgotten, and has ret him to thinking.
He has thought it all out and is now firmly
of the opinion that there is an inhabitable
land at the North Pole The old man says
he was one of the crew of the Investigator,
Capt. Mcclure, which sailed from England
in 1850, in company with the Enterprise,
Commander Collinson, in search of Sir
John Franklin, and he certainly has in his
possession one of the Arctic medals given
by the English admiralty to all persons en-
gagged in these polar expeditions from 1878
to 1855. In September of that year the
Investigator reached a land which Capt.
Mcclure named Earrings land and three
days afterward other lend which he named
Prince Albert, where about the last OF the
month they were frozen in.
While in the last named land, the ex-
plorers observed many wild geese and
other fowl flying southwark Some of the
geese stopped at the place where the ship
lay and several were killed by members of
the crew. In the crops of some of these
geese he recollects to have seen, and mar
veled at seeing, considerable quantity of q
grain such as the new cereal of Surprise
Valley is said to be- As no such grain is
known in the temperate zone, and as we
have no account of grain of the kind be-
ing found in any known region of the world,
he is of the opinion that the the geese OBJ
tanned it in q region lying about the open
polar sea. He says no man has yet gone
so far to the north, but he found wild geese
and other water fowl flying still further
northward. AS the geese are undoubted
vending their way to well-known stop
ping place far to the north, there must be
something to feed upon at the point where
they stop. AS wild geese no more live on
fish than do tame ones there must be, in
the country to which they go, grass and
other vegetation similar to that found in
temperate regions, The wild. geese that
halt on the Pacific coast make the grain
fields their feeding place, and it is not likely

ONE winter morning almost a year
ago Cashier Barron of the Dexter Savings
Bank at Dexter, Maine, was found tight
ly manacled, jammed closely in the bank
vault and so nearly sufiocated that lie
died before consciousness returned. For
almost year Barron's memory has been
cherished as that of brave man who
died in defense"of the property left in
his charge, but recent developments have
dispelled the heroic halo that clustered
about his name, and enshrouded it in a
cloud of suspicion. The investigations
of the Directors have pretty fully
established the fact that Barron's death
was deliberate and well planned suicide
for the purpose of covering up defalca-
tions which he felt assured would soon
be revealed. In this manner he hoped
to at least leave to his family the reputa-
tion of man, who, though he had been
dishonest in his affairs, had died the
death of hero.
