TERRITORIAL FUNDING
BILL

In the Senate OF the United States
February 10, Mr.. Jones OF Arkansas,
from the Committee OH Territories, sub
mltted the following report on Senate
bill No. 1872.
The committee on Territories, to whom
was referred the bin IS. 1922 approving
with amendments, the funding act of
Arizona, having considered the same
and accompanying papers, report as foi-
lows:
The assessed valuation of the Teri
tory OF Arizona is in round nun: oors
S3O,G0000, and the indebtedness of the
Territory, counties, cities, AM school
districts, about $3,GG0,010, or 10 per
cent OF the assessed valuation.
Tho rate OF interest on The present in
debtedHcss Is not less than per cent,
and much OF it is 10 Der cent. per an
gum, the average being about 8 per
cent.
The high rate OF interest has been
paid regularly, and alI the bonds, Terri
torial, county, city, and school, are held
1T or about par, and they were all issued
Tor Indebtedness created prior to the
Harrison act. At the time said act
went into effect the territorial and coun-
ty treasures were without funds until
the next taxes We're paid. in order to
carry on government it became a neces-
sIty TO create debt, and this debt was
placed in the form OF warrants bearing
10 per cent interest. Notwithstanding
the high rate of interest these warrants
have never had a good commercial
on account Of their dubious
legal status. It is therefore fact that
The running expenses Of the territory in
Guiding counties, cities, and school
districts, are largely increased by the
value OF warrants and the
high rate OF interest they bear. The
Territory and many o. the counties
have each year fallen a little behind
the preceding year in meeting their
expenses, and it is therefore an absolute
necessity to afford them relief.
The committee believe that Terri
tcrial bond, with tie long time propOs-
ed, AMI having the approval OF Congress,
can be sold at par, bearing less rate of
interest than can be sold IN any other
way, and thereby secure for the terri
tory the much needed relief and tho
saving OF 100000 annually.
The provisions Of the bill for CARRYING
IitO SoiliS iiitc SAiCCU lave Dteu care UIly
considered by the committee and are
found 10 be ample, and that, except to
egalize the Indebtedness, there is no
attached to the United
States.
The time within which Indebtedness
may be funded is placed at December
81, 1890, when the taxes are due and |
payable. From and after that date
here will be cash on hand with which |
. meet the current expenses of the |
Territory.
The committee are unanimously of |
he opinion that the Territory of Ari-
,ona is entitled to relief, and therefore
'eport back the accompanying bill with |
he recommendation that it do pass.

The EarQua Hala.

A gentleman who arrived in Phenix,
last Saturday furnishes the following
items from the Harqua Hala country
The Bonanza, or more correctly the
Gold Hill mine, is turning out lots Of
ore, and the 10-stamp mill is running
steadily, yielding lots of bullion. 1t is
reported that three-quarters Of that
property is bonded to Colorado parties
for 100000 till March 1st.
The Quinn claims are considered to be
nearly or quite as good as the Gold
Hill. Nick Palmer, recently from the
Congress mine, has been out there ex-
porting and sampling the Quinn claims.
Camp stories credit him with having
purchased one-quarter and getting a
bond on the rest of the property.
Prospecting is lively all along the line
from Harrisburg to the Colorado river.
Calderwood has just delivered load OF
hay, and has made arrangements to
keep the camp supplied with hay and
grain hereafter. The outlook is very
favorable for the future Of the camp.

Infiictions to Which Country People are
Being Subjected.
IPlacerville Democrat ]


IPlacerville Democrat
About two weeks ago there arrived in
town a dude with plug hat who called
himself G. n. Morris, and who acted as if
he considered himself the handsomest man
in the country. He represented himself the
advance agent of q combination of Eastern
manufacturers who were sending the
atrical troupe through the country as an ad-
vertisement, and going to J. E. Sigwart, who
had no reason to suspect him, secured
contract for the use of the Opera House for
five nights during the middle of October.
This contract cost him nothing, but made
him much money. Taking this, he went
from house 70 house throughout the town,
avoiding the men and dealing only with
the ladies. To them he represented that
he was the advance agent of combination
of $50 Eastern manufacturers who were
perfecting a scheme to deal directly with
the people. The travelling troupe were to
bring samples of all the goods, and with
them orders could be placed for goods. To
all who agreed to join in ordering from
these firms the glib young fellow guaran-
teed to give fine oil painting, a set of
works OF standard authors, and numerous
other articles and catalogues of goods.
These numerous articles would besentfree,
save the freight. If sent TO each individ-
usl iu separate bundles, the freight would
amount to about So 80 to each person, but
if all the persons willing to take goods got
their premiums in one shipment, and paid
for the same beforehand, it would only
come to 81 80 each.
The bsazen manipulator of this scheme
then showed the names of ali the promi-
nent ladies in town who had agreed to go
into the scheme, and had paid 81 80 each.
When ths money was paid over a receipt
he fra sr.b%
but in reality the receipt was for money
for recipe for making soap and another
for making baking powder. In this man
ner he collected large amount of money
and st each place as guaranty, he said, of
good faith left a number of articles which
he reiailed at 81 so. These articles were
found to be worthless and not worth over
10 cents.
While in town the young fellow made
himself obtrusive and obnoxious to every
young lady whom he met, and finally be-
came so insulting that complaint was
made Finding that his game was being
discovered, Morris suddenly skipped by
Tuesdays noon train. leaving large num-
Der of lady residents of Placerville minus
considerable pin money.
II would seem that Placerville's popula-
ton lived only to be victimized, for about
once every three months some sharper Wis.,
its the town and fleeces some of the citizens.
The men have no advantage over the ladies
in this, for, while the ladies are victimized
this tirse, it was not long since that num-
Der of the men were cinched by a bogus
agent who took measurements for shoes,
always being careful to get cash deposit,
with which they walked out of town, hav-
ing fut pockets. Oar citizsns have yet 10
