Opal Quarries.

Opals of every variety are found in many species of porphyry in several distinct regions of Mexico. Don Jose Gonzales Cosio is owner of 2 claims on an area of 360 acres of opal bearing claystone porphyry located
 75 miles from the city of Queretaro and Is miles only from the line of the Mexican Central Railway. This gen. tleman employs 100 expert miners, whose sole business is 10 blast out blocks of rocks carrying opaIs. Thousands of common as well aS magnificent gems are broken to pieces weekly by the very awkward process of blasting. By using S rock drill and severing opal rock blocks by the plug and feathering Quarrying plan not five per cent of the gems now ruined would be lost. Senor Cosio has lately established g lapidary at Queretaro. He has cut and polished several bushels of the precious or mo- ble opals and fire opals. He con- tributed a very fine collection for the Mexican exhibit in the Paris Exposi- ton. His uncut and unpublished opals cost him, on an average, three cents each. The most magnificent of his precious opals do not cost him to ex- ceed fifty cents each.
 There is an opal bearing quarry being worked in the State of AIorelos and it supplies gems equally as fine as the Cosio quarry.
 For twenty years of the seven- teenth century, commencing with the year 1872, the Spaniards worked quarry of opals and turquoises To- cated about 36O miles due northwest of this city. The formation of DOT phyry there is exactly similar to that in which the famous turquoise stones are found in the quarries south of Santa Fe, \. M. The old Dons could not make much progress there, for the camp was isolated, as it still is, and thousands of Apache sayages constantly harrassed them. In 1892 the Indians fell upon the miners and garrison, massacreing nearly 900 men, women and children.
 There are seven varieties of opals found in the quarries of Mexico, viz The precious or noble opal, the fire opal, the common opal, semi-opal, wood opal, freuginous opal and hy- drophane.-Zacatecas paper.
 What success has been achieved in silver mining in this district within the past few years is due to individ- ual effort and perseverance and is a credit to our miners. If nonresident mine-owners will employ capable su perintendents and work their mines intelligently, or else lease their claims, with proper restrictions and on reasonable terms, Globe may be made one of the most prosperous camps in Arizona.

There has been very rapid devel- opment in late years in the science of photography, a science whose name means nothing more than the intro duction of the microscope into min eralogy. It is now possible to pre- pare slices of rock So thin as to admit of examination by transmitted light, an advance which has placed the geol- ogist on level with his fellow-work CTS in biology.

Foreman of the Jury-Well, how much damages do you think the young man is entitled to?
 First Juryman-As I understand it, he ain't suing for blighted affections nor anything of that sort, eh? Just merely wants to get his money back that he expended for presents, ice cream and the like?
 Second Juryman-That's all.
 First Juryman-Well, 1 ain't in fav- or of giving him cent. If the fun he had didn't amount to more than his presents that's his lookout. courted that girl myself once.

The Deputy of Oaxaca. Mr Prafect Carrear, has taken to the City of Mex ico a plant that grows in Mixteca. which the natives call the "herb of prophecy" It is taken in various doses, and in 8 few moments sleep is produced similar in all respects to, and we might say identical with, the hypnotic state-for the patient al swers, with closed eyes, questions that are put to him, and is completely in- sensible. The pathologic state ir- duced on whomsoeyer partakes of the herb, brings with it kind ofprophetio gift and double sight. Furthermore, he loses his will, is completely under the control of another to such degree that the sleeping person would leap from a balcony, shoot, or stab him self with dagger, at any moment, if ordered to do so. On returning t0 himself he remembers nothing of what he has done-Exchange

The press of the south generally is pleased with the appointment of Colonel Bennett to the Mescaleros, once tine bravest and most dreaded of the Apaches. The Las Cruces Repub- hcan says: The Mescalero Apaches now number less than 50G, having de- creased greatly in the last few years. In 1881 portion of them raided with Victoria, and large party of the ren- 'egades were killed along with that noted chieftan, since which time they have been very peaceable, cultivating land, raising cattle, sending their chil- dren to school, and adopting civiliza- tion quite generally. They are dying off quite fast, and it will not be many years until the tribe is extinct.-Denl- ing Headlight.

LONDON, July 2.-The city of Naples, in
Italy, began house cleaning yesterday on a
scale never before paralleled in the history
of municipalities in any part of the globe.
The plans contemplate the demolition OF
1900 houses and sixty-two churches III the
most thickly settled and most squalid parts
of the city, where the narrow streets, filled
with perennial filth, breed pestience and
death. 1t is proposed to erect in their stead
we'll built houses and to lay out fine, broad
shine to the inhabitants
Packed Like Sardines.
Naples is the most thickly populated city
IN Europe, and the quarter to be thus re-
novated contains now population of lOS,-
bO0, or 600 to the acre. 1t is proposed to re-
duce this population just one half. All the
people now residing in these slums have re-
ceived notice to quit, and when the work has
been completed the new buildings will pro-
hably have an entirely new set of occupants
The Work and the Cost.
The cost of this immense Improvement VIII
be enormous and is to be borne largely by
the Italian government. The work TO be
done involves the destruction of IA old
streets and the widening of TT others, the
total or partial destruction of tifty-six
fondaci, or slums, and 5:7 isolated groups OF
houses. The payments which will have &c
be made to the owners of the houses to be
| torn down, for their appraised value will
alone amount to 81, $50 900. Add to this the
cost of the work of demolition, and of the
new streets and squares to be laid out and II
will Ice seen that this is the most expensive
piece of house cleaning ever undertaken.
| Nearly 900 laborers were set to WORK
yesterday tearing down the filthy old rock

A Great Sanitary Improvement.
| This Improvement, 1t Is expected, will take
| four years to complete, but when finished 1t
| will make the city one of the most desirable
| from a sanitary point of view In Europe IN
| stead of what it is now, the very worst. The
| improvements have been contemplated ever
since the great cholera epidemic of 1854
| which so thoroughly demonstrated theiI
| necessity, but il was not until two months
| ago that the Italian parliament passed bill

THE simple announcement by the
ARGUS that Hon. W. f. Crawford was
looking forward TO the senatorial nomina~
ton next fall, has caused vial of wrath
to explode in the vicinity of the Moline
Republican office. Here is what that
paper says about 1t:
This district will not make such mis-
take-the republican party should not.
A wooden man" would serve us as well,
and the time has come when there should
he stop to such nonsense. Let's have
man of recognized ability. If the re-
publican party cannot unite on a more
acceptable man than he-and we believe
they can-the voters had better empha.
size their disapproval at the ballot box
As we have previously said, Crawford
makes good farmer. but that is the
place for him
1t will now be in order for Bro, Craw-
ford to go up to Moline the next time he
comes to town with load of pumpkins
and leave the largest in the lot for the
Republican editor. This is the way TO
win his heart.

motion to adjourn and delivered a speech in
which he spoke in unmeasured criticism of
the action of the government officials in
"precipitating riot and bloodshed' at Cork
Sunday He challenged the ministers to
attempt some adequate explanation of their
conduct and spoke OF Sundays events in
Cork as the most memorable and the most
disgraceful that had occurred even under the
present regime of force and brutality. Red
mond also spoke and in most imprisoned
speech accused the government of promoting
bloodshed and exciting turmoil to further
their own unholy purposes.
Gladstone said that the government did
not reply to most serious allegations which
had been made against them, allegations
which required the fullest explanation. They
could by such ill timed reticence hope to
stife inquiry in direction in which the peo-
pie were determined TO have the fullest in

Politics In The Northwest

The republicans believe they are sure
of carving north and south Dakota and
Washington, and while they are not
hopeful of Montana. they are preparing
to make fight to carry every one of the
new states on a plan that seems to take
nothing for granted. They will send
money and their best managers and
speakers into the northwest. They have
already begun active operations there,
and the democratic national committee
has no time to lose in counter opera
tons.
The st. Louis Republic says it must
not be taken for granted that the demo>
cratic party cannot gain a foothold in the
northwest. We have Montana already,
and we will hold it unless it is deliberate
" thrown away. In Washington, the
party has good prospects and in North
Dakota excellent fighting ground.
Nothing of this must be surrendered
and the fight must be made for
more. The circumstances are all favor.
