QUIJOTOA.
The following synopsis in regard to the
country surrounding the Quijotoa of Ari.
zona is taken from letter dated March
90, and was written by julius Hoffman
to R. H. Elan: "This place is situated
some 80 miles in southwesterly direction

ming tunnels into their mines. By all ap-
pearances they are preparing for boom
which, judging from the quality and
quantity of ore, will prove success.
This town has at present population of
1000 persons; contains about l25 houses,
of which 80 are saloons, and one bakery;
the rest are boarding and lodging houses.

good camp, but at present it is very dull,
as most of the men here are prospectors
and poor. But this dullness cannot last
much longer than six months. Specula-
tors drop in now and then and good
prospects are sold occasionally by poor
owners in which speculation outside
spectators from the main lodges expect
to food the market whenever the boom
comes. There are several old Piochers
here, among whom Mrs. Christy and Ike
Phillips are the fgure.heads. I have
purchased q lot for which l paid $3.50,
and built house thereon which cost
$500. All I have to do now is to wait
for something to turn up. I am also part
owner in several claims Of doubtful value.
I am at present one of the enterprisers
who have sent prospectors into the Mo.
hawk mountains, on the border of Ari.
iona. These mountains have never been
penetrated by the whites, and we expect
to hear Of something new in the history
of mining within two months"

his wages he proceeded to the saloon, got
drunk, gambled off his money and got

his pins again, he soliloquized thus: "Got
drunk, got beat out of my money, and all

where it is hoped that he secured work
and where no saloon exists.
