QUIyOTOA.

f iohg ride by stage rom Tucson to the Quijotoas, but the seriousness of the journey is greatly re-
 iie'ed by the ever changing scenery aiong the route, through canon, passes
 ana rocky glens, and across iowery val. ieys that seem to stretch far away to the horizon like brilliant ribbons around the earth. The dashing stage horses mat accomplish the long distance dur. ing the hours Of sunshine are quite un- ilke the slow toiling and numbering ef- falrs one sometimes meets with in A frontier country, and it is really a pleas ure to maEe an occasional trip to the bonanza camp as a means of recreation and relaxation from the cares and Eor- " or the routine of daily newspaper.
 AS one approaches the little town of Logan, nestled up under the shsd- dows of the great mountain, the sharp outlines of Mount Ben Nevis look brand and gloomy against the background of the evening sky, and coming up gradu. ally from the broad valley to the foot. nils, the ascent suddenly increases un- hi the stage passes up Logan Avenue to its destination.
 The various tcva-sites comprising the settlement of Logan. occupy a pleasant slope, reaching from the very base of tbe perpendIcular cliffs of the rugged n,oun- tam, down towards the valley. Ina town itself has not experienced any con siderable growth since the reaction from the hrst wIld rush to that place sci in. The developments in the bonanza com panys mines have been necessarily slow and unprohtsble to the business of the pace, but the erection of the huge pumps m the valley and the mill near the mines, have given matters a more satistsctory appearance. The people Of Logan are not growing rich very rapidly put they all are getting along fairly. well and have an abiding faith in n brilliant future for their town. Their growth. though slow, is a substantial one and ls based upon the knowledge of the results of the extensive deyelop- ments made in the compaDy's mines, for It IS well known that such vest bodies of | ore have been encountered as to justify | the statement that 1t will overshadoy the once famous Comstock.
 The business houses of Logan are | more numerous than the public have | been generally aware of. and few of | them only will be mentioned here.

 The foundation for the pump at the compauy's well in the valley IS both ! massive and substantial. The well con tains plenty of water for all purposes, and it is of excellent quality. The Wa ter pipe now being laid will all be Tn place in about two weeks.
 The mill foundation Is also broad and  solid md the mill IS being constructed in first class style Many new timbers are being put m place of those already framed that show any signs of weakness, and the whole structure IS being made solid and permanent. Perhaps two months more tune will be required to place the mill in working condition, when the output of bullion will begin.

 The Company are doing wonders m the way of development.
