QUIJOT0A.

A Visit to the Bonanza Camp-The Pros
 poets of Its Permanency-The
 Jolly ouijotoans and Their
 Brilliant Band. It was the good fortune of the CTTI- ZEN man to pay visit to the bonanza camp of the world, this week, and, amid the excitement of political campaign, to turn for refreshing moment to contemplation of natures great treasure vaults now being unlocked for the first time by the golden key of the bonanza kings. 1t was a stormy day, unfortu- nately, when the scribe made his visit, and to this fact alone he attributes hls disappointment in not traversiDg the deep tunnels that penetrate the enor mons ledges of Mount Ben Nevis, for it is long and tiresome journey up the rugged hill side even upon dry day, but il is doubly so and contains spice of danger when the ground is filled with moisture.
 The thirty tons of machinery for driv- ing the Burleigh drills has arrived at the mines, and the work of erecting 1t will at once begin. It is estimated that about six weeks time will be consumed in this work, after which the initiatory steps will be taken for erecting the mill A douhle compartment shaft will be sunk at the company's well, four miles away, and the water will be forced by heavy pumps to the mill.
 The reporter accidentally dropped on" on a piece of gratifying news while there, tbat was intended to remain 8 secret for a short time, but which, as faithful chronicler of reliable informs- ton and newsy facts, he feels in duty bound to make public. In the regular weekly mining report of Superintend- ent Smith, of October 18th, he stated without any flourish of words or hur- rahs that Peerless tunnel No. was m 32i feet; at 3l2 feet 1t had cut the vein, passing through a well defined foot wall and that the ore was good. That IS to say, one week ago they had penetrated the vein twelve feet without reaching the hanging wall. They have, since that time, been steadily pushing on
  reached the wall This vein IS not only inconceivably wide, but the ore gives assays that will astonish the mining world. Even NIT. Mackey himself was Rstoundei at the wonderful sight that greeted hlm, and he afterwards re- marked to an old time friend that the mines were far better than they had been represented to him.
 fT'Hta D, ,sr-rr, a Or a-ppV pf fha aamn io sured beyond the shadow of a doubt, and it is not an extravagant prediction to say that in one year from to-day Logan City will be the largest, most populOus and prosperous mining town in Arizona.
 THE JOLLY QUIJoToANs.
 The residents of Logan City are most harmonious and jolly set of peo- ple. They have shown their faith in the permanency of the place by remain Ing there during the dull season that Is nov nearly at an end. They know that the good time is coming and when the shower of silver begins to fall their cisterns will be ready to catch 8 full measure of it. In spite of the present dull and discouraging times they have taken the philosophical course of Mark Tapley, and are literally jolly under even the most adverse circumstances They have recently organized a social club in which they enjoy some special benehciary features, such as nursing and attending the sick, the burial of the dead and in generally enhancing the literary and social conditions of its members. Subjects of a religions or political nature are strictly prohibited. !. ,1-- have grips, passwords and other char acteristics of secret societies. MT.

The latter | two are Democrats while the visitors | were Republicans, but for the time par tisan distinctions were ignored and good | fellowship was the cnly law observed.
