A QUEER PIT IN A PLAIN.

What Puzzles the Folks of Ash Fork,
Where Water is Half Dollar Barrel.
In some sections of the northern por-
ton of Arizona the question of water
supply, even for domestic purposes, is
a very serious one This is particularly
the case at Ash Fork, station on the
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. A series
of very lovely and fertile valleys sur
round.the place, and plenty of grass
grows for the support of large herds
of cattle, but no water can be had ex-
cept from an occasional tank during
the winter season. At Ash Fork the
railroad company attempted to sink an
artesian well, but after reaching. depth
of nine hundred feet the drill became
fastened and could not be removed.
Many futile attempts were made to ex-
tract it, but at last it was abandoned in
despair. All water now used at that
station and by the residents of the town
is brought by rail from Peach Springs,
sixty-tive miles to the westward, andsis
sold at fifty cents per barrel. e
A short time ago prospector. stimu-
lated by the inquiry for water, reported
that he had discovered huge well,
about eight miles from Ash Fork. sunk in
level plain. Parties at once repaired
thither with ropes and other parapher-
MALTA to explore the wondrous discov-
cry. They found the locality, but to
this day they do not know the exact
nature of the curious cavern that met
their gaze. lis located on level plain
and can not be seen until it is APP
preached very near. There is no evil
dence of earth or rock having been re-
moved from the pit, which was found to
be $50 feet in diameter and 800 feet
deep. with perpendicular walls. Noone
in the party was brave enough to de-
scend and explore the ''well' when the
rope had been lowered, and the ex-
plorers returned to Ash Fork scarcely
wiser than they were before their trip.
1t is certainly a great curiosity, and
there possibly exists supply of water
somewhere in its depths or in the nu.
merous eaverns or tunnels that appar.
emily emerge into the dark earth below
from this curious threshold of sunlight

The Exquisite Pleasure Afforded by
Family Re-UDi0nS,

In this broad land teeming with a
wealth of natural resources and advan-
tages, there is a lamentable tendency
for families to become widely separated
as its members arrive at maturity. 1t
frequently occurs that mother must
travel a thousand miles or more in or
der to visit her several children and
their families. The exquisite pleasure
afforded by family reunion is, alas!
too seldom enjoyed. Not alwaysjs it
convenient for sons and daughters to
leave their homes and little ones to
gather around the old hearthstone.
Would that the custom could more fire.
quently be INDUCED in. On many oc-
casions illness in the family is re-
straining cause. Too often the monster
disease enters an otherwise happy
home, despoiling parent affecting
child. Our duty to ourselves and to our
little ones demand that we make good
health the one grand study and object
of our lives. A terrible master is dis

INSANITY AMONG WOMEN.

The Tendency of the Present System of
Education TO Induce Mental Disease.
The reading of recent article by
Rev. E. f. Hale has touched chord OF
recollection of a certain visit paid to an
insane asylum someyears ago. was
amazed to see so many familiar faces OF
persons whom had missed from the
streets and other public places, and had
supposed We're dead; and in one sense
they were. Many. and indeed l shoukl
say the majority, of these were teachers
aud overweight scholars preparing to
be teachers. One who accompanied
me, and who had been at one time n
patisnt here and knew most of the his
tories of these patients, told me much
that was sadly interesting. So many
bright women! So many fine scholars!

toiled and studied? One especially I

Hon. A. w. Bash and those asso-
ciated with him in the customs service
are entitled to hard earned credit for
faithful performance of duty during
their official term. ANY public officer
IL necessarily target for criticism and
faulthndinR, and especially so In such
q branch of public service as the Gus
toms Department, where faithful and
thorough enforcement of the laws xe-
cessitates constant vigilance. Mr.. Bash
came here four years ago under the dis
advantage of having been sent from a
distance and. as remarked by an ex-
change, 50 faithfully has he done his
duty that this fact has been forgotIen
BY the public. irrespective of party. A
comparison frora reliable figures may
throw some light on this question of
efficiency. In 1870 there we're 262 en-
trances and 255 ciearances at the
Paaet Sound Custom Hense, aud
eight seizures of smuesied goods,
valued ct $264 G1. In the fiscal year
ending Juue 30, 1881 lthe year before
Mr.. Bash took eharael, there were 423
entrances and 400 ciearances, and with
16 employees two seizures were made of
goods valued at $1735. Daring the fis-
cai year ending June 30, 1884, there
were sbl entrances and s97 elearances;
and WAth ~ employees IN ths distriss.
II seizures were made, valued at 81,
ISS 5os and this, Too. IN the face OF the
fact that the Chinese restriction act of
May 9. 1852, bad 70 be enforced. and the
completion of the Northern Pacific
railroad and opening Of in tFansitu
sratfic OF bonded goods between Can
ada and British Columbia. all neoessi-
tated q vast increase of labor
without extra compensation or ex-
ira revenue. In 1850, the total Of
dutisa collected IN the district was $l7,-
S54. and the cost Of collecting each dol
lar Of this revenue was 8 81. In 1884
the total collections amounted to &67, :
$3.50. aud the cost Of collecting eash
dollar OF this amount was bat 83 cents.
fhera are lS7 caileotion districts in the
Unitsd States, aRd in 6S of these the
cost OF oollectina revenues exceeds 3S
per cent. During tAe year that will
close on the S0th OF this month the
eeisuree in this district will amount 10
over $500 showing marked efficiency.
We cite these figures 20 show that The
administration just closing has been
more economical and more efficient By
FAR than any before. Mr.. Bash will Es
tire from ofEice with clean hands. an
honorable record and the good viii and
respect Of the general public.
