 AN ORDERLY CAMP.
 There is, perhaps. no other mining camp Tn the United States so qui-t Hao orderly. There is not n saloon m the camp. and therefore DO drunkenness. 4 saloon was started there some months ago, and during little carousal some trouble was feared. The Messrs. Walker saw the necessity of prompt action and at once forbade their employees patron izing the saloon under pain of per | emptOiy discharge from their service. | The result was the saloon Was moved | a gay. The Indians and Mexi-ans are | encouraged tO save their wages and ac ! cumulate money. Tne cOmp-ny own the only stOro at the camp but they sd yise theIr employees to purchase only such articles as they uctualiy need. Any employee found guilty Of theft or any grievous offence, is at once dis missed, and by these means the camp is purged ot ali it's clements of evil and those who are really striving to do well are given the utmost encouragement. PERSONAL.
 The mlll a1 mine are under the di- rect sup g.aJCsGeuce of the Messrs. Walker Bla;hers-yudge ]. ID. and Lu cieu E-aud from personal observation and general report II Is safe to say tha. good fortune never fell into better or more deserving hands. They are con ductiug their business upon an honor able basis with everybody. Although they enjoy q monopoly of the nneichan- dizipg of the camp. they do not compel theIr employees to purchase of them, and neither to they cha-ge monopoly prices. Their goods are sold as chCaply as ID Tucson or Ca>H GraDda, and the store IS condu1ted more 6s a convenience % .he men than as business enter rrise. One feature of the hospitality of the Walker brothers will thrill the heart of every true irOotiersman with respOns- i've gppreciation. and all the more so because It is a virtue which is growing more scarce every year: They neyei turn stranger away hungry or weary. No matter who he may be.or from whence Ie mGy come; Indian, ChInHman, Mexi- c.c or American, be K welcome to food auPlGdsinEs for one, tTO, three or even rour,! lys. until he l. s.roag and able to resume Ina journey.
