THE bounty EQUALIZATION BILL.
Speaker Randall has consented TO recog-
aize Congressman Findlay on Monday
next to move a suspension of the rules TO
consider the bill to equalixe the bounties
Of soldiers who served in the late war.
The bill provides a bounty Of eight and
one-third dollars per month for service OF
each soldier who enlisted between the 1st
OF April, 1861, and before the 18th OF July,
1866, all previous bounties received 10 be
deducted, including bounties paid by
States and counties, with a view 10 get an
approximation as to how much money
would be required to meet such claims.
Findlay addressed letter to Secretary
Sherman asking him how to make an es-
innate. The Secretary replied in sub
stance: That 1t is impossible to make an
estimate, but an examination made in
1874 to ascertain how large sum would
be necessary to satisfy the claims arising
under the provisions under q similar bill
introduced at that time, showed that more
han one hundred millions OF dollars
would be needed, together with a iorceo of
'50 additional clerks for four years in the
)tiice OF the Second Auditor.

Tucson in line tu,ure.

Tucson will continue to grow, and will, without any effort on the part of our people, become thriving little city of from fifteen to twenty thou sand people within the next few years. With good energetic work on the part of our citizens, we may do much better, and may just as well as not have a town of 30,0O0 souls in 1890 if we but will it. The wholesale trade must be closely looked after, and every species of home manufacture fostered as much as possible. We want good roads built to connect with every mining camp in reach, and make it an object for retail dealers to come 10 Tucson for theIr supplies of every description. We should like to see our wholesale dealers divide up and make a speciality of the kind of goods they deal in. A man who only deals in groceries should be able to do better by customers than one who car ries a mixed stock. We are glad to learn that at least a portion of our dealers have begun to take this view of the case. The old general stock of Jacobs & Go. has been closed out and a new stock of hardware has taken its place. A boot and shoe house has also been established in Tucson, and the liquor business is we'll represented. But such things will regulate them selves in time. It is enough to know that we now have large houses which are at present abundantly able to supply all demands made upon them, and we trust they may keep race with the times. Let us all join our forces on every question which affects the welfare of Tucson. Remember that success may only be attained by united action

Political Outlook oR the Pacific Coast
 The campaign iu California is but just begun, yet it IS evident she Repub- licans intend to do their work effectu- ally and we'll. The speec of Secreta- " Schurz has had a good effect in California. The German voters of that State are we'll pleased with his lucid presentation of the questions before the people, and the concl usions he has drawn. The German vote of California will be out in full force on election day. Well informed politi- cisns of that State say that the Immi- grafton 10 the Pacific States during the past six years, which has been chiefly from the Northwestern States, is largely Republican, and that both California and Oregon will go Repub- lican by increased majorities. The recent State election in Oregon would seem to bear them out in this conclu- sion, as that State gave a much larger Republican majority than at any pre- vious election in the history of the State. Nevada is safe for the Repub- lican ticket, and Colorado may be put down for a handsome majority for Garfield and Arthur. There is not particle of doubt of the success of the Republican ticket in all the Pacific States.

The Grea, San Aurustin Feast.

The city authorities we believe last year declared "that no more feasts should be held within the limits of
 Tucson" Now it has long been a custom of the natives to hold this feast; for years and years before the Americans settled in this Territory it had become a portion of "tbe un- written law" and is to this day looked forward to with interest by a large portion of the citizens of this town and Sonora. In order that they may not be disappointed H. B. Smith, of this place, has assumed the role of PlazerO, and will be ably assisted by that large hearted and public spirited citizen, A. Levin, and we may count on the ten days following after the 26th day of August next being the grandest and most numerously at- tended feast ever held in the Terri tory. A plot of ground 800 feet square, immediately in the rear or West of Levin's Park has been secured on which 10 hold the Feast. The ground will be ditched and roadways made at once, and in the course of 6 week it will be in shape so that parties who may desire ground for booths, etc, may make their selections and fix them up to suit their convenience A large pavilion will he erected in the middle of the grounds, for the music and dancing, and & neat walk con structed leading right through from the Park There will also be two places of ingress and egress-one from the lane South of the brewery, and one from the North side. The feast will be kept up for ten days. We shall have occasion to refer to the grounds again during the progress of the work.

The Hermosa Mill.

The Hermosa mill, which tarted up Thursday, works like charm. The mill, which is 2O-siamp, with a ca. pacity for 10 is perhaps the best built and most complete structure of the kind in the Territory. The ore from the Hermosa mine, which is free and easily crushed, will be the first treat ed, and it Is believed that 50 10 7Otons per day can be put through the new mil. This ore is expected to mill SloO per ton, so we may look tor a daily yield from the Hermosa after she gets fairly to work of from five to sev- en thousand dollars.

The Oldest Town.

The Santa Fe New Mexican Is troubled because some one has written 10 sa Eastern paper tha, Tucson was ihe oldest town in the United States.
 Now We have never undertaken to as
 certain the exact date ofthe first set
 dement's in Tucson, not deeming it of much importance to the present gen e1aiIOn and occupants of the town. We lake more pride in the present and future prospects of Tucson than its past history as an old pueblo" It is enough for us tO know that Tucson has larger population than s anta Fe, New Mexico, or St. Augustine, Flor ida; and that she does a larger trade annually than both of them put to- gciher.

He informs us that the track of the Southern Pacific is now about 5l miles beyond Benson, or 10l miles East of Tucson, and they are laying down over two miles per day. Mir. Smart is of the opinion that the next permanent station will be made at point about four miles thIs side of Railroad Pass, where there are two good wells, which afford plenty of water. MT. Smart, like many other station keepers along the stage lines will find "hIs occupation gone" but he will simply change from station keeper to a stock raiser, having q ranch which is well suited for that purpose. There are even now a num- Der of thrifty stock dealers m the val ley, among which may be mentioned H. C. Rockers Bonito ranch, Steel and Mckenzie at Croteu Spring, A. J.

An Average American.
fSaItI.ate Trihnne


 A Pioche subscriber prOpounds the following:
 ED. TRIBUNE: Will you kindly oblige subscriber by inserting in the Tribune definition of the average American? Or, in other words, wh | are the most peculiar traits in the char acter of the Yankee? ENQUIRER.
 PiOche, Nev., July 16, 1SSU.
 An American, a real American, is a contact vein. The east country may be an Englishman, Frenchman, all lrishman ur an Italian, the west coun- try may be Scotch, Spanish, Dutch, German, Slay or Scandinavian. The lead itself may occasionally be rich in precious metals, but the majority is base with not over s per cent. of any thing of value, and carrying combi- ration of rebelliuus elements which makes 1t the toughest mess 10 reduce in the world. Many of these veins look well, but the pay chimneys are narrow, and frequently crosscut on the lower levels shows they are barren. There are no veins with lRr ge crop pings, none that promise more us you commence to work them, but many will not make even Dabbit metal. ThousandsSre mere blotches and pinch before they are worked s year. It takes 2l years tU get one Of them in work ing shape, and then it is frequently 10 years mOre before a dividend may be counted upon. No other veins require so many and SO heavy assessments. In working these veins water is seldom any trouble, but often just when full est of promise a spring of Bourbon Is tapped which floods the pumps and shuts down the mine permanently. Some are like the Bullion on the Com stock. They show lively quality of quartz on the surface, but too low grade to be Of practical value, and work them deep as you please, no bo- manga is ever found. But some are richer than wa Mexico or Peru The Daniel Webster bonanza paid daily for forty yesrs, and some of the rich est nuggests were urearthed just be- fore the final cave. The Andrew Jackson bonanza was a sublime one, though it was found, against all geo. logical laws in volcanic formation. But the chief value as a rule is not in the great veins that require heavy ma chinery and extensive reduction works but in the little Assures all over the country that are not very rich but which are continuous and so easily worked that weak woman can man. age them, and 8 two-year-old baby can make them give up the ore. These are really valuable and the strength of the country really rests on them because the larger heads frequently cost more than they are worth. In the foregoing we have not mentioned the pure wildcats. There are millions of them that on the surface sometimes have fair indications, but which on depth being attained, prove to be merely mineral stained and not worth the powder 10 blast them. We trust that from the foregoing our cores pendent will understand the whole business.

If the papers on file in the case off M. McArthur vs. Wm. Hart and others be true, a great wrong has been attempted upon the plaintiff Nr McArthur, it appears, had bonded a mine, with the privilege of prospect. ing 1t, and had already expended a large amount of money upon the prop. erty when for some petty consideration the above parties brought suit re straining NIT. McArthur from further working the mine for the time b,ing and as he claims, greatly damaged his chances of making a sale of the pron- erty, owing to his inability to show if up within the time specified in his bond.
 The utmost good faith should be observed and exacted from those who bond mines and go to work and ex- pend large sums Of money upon them to make them valuable.
