"Hold the fort for we are coming" etc. For the present this golden Op- portunity has passed and, like camp followers, we can only look on and see the battle wage and hope and pray for the result.
 One thing could and ought to be done at once. Meetings should be called in every precinct in the terri tory and petitions should be circulat- ed and signed by every inhabitant and sent to Washington without delay, re- questing Congress to stand by the proposition for the full remonetization of silver. As said before, compro- missing measure will do but little good, while the remonetization of silver will start every mine in Arizona in full Op eration; the prospectors will cover every hill seeking new mines; home market will be created for every pro duct that can be raised in the coun- try at good prices; immigration will flow into the territory by the tens of thousands and an era of prosperity will be inaugurated equal 10 the early discovery of gold in California. If the people will let small politics alone and stand by the right and for the best good of all, then Arizona will as sume position of power and inHu- ence equal to any state in the Union.

The VekOl Mine.

L. D. Chillson returned yesterday from trip to Casa Grapde and Vekol mine. The YekQl never looked better than now, and this applies equally well to all the adjacent claims. On the Great Eastern they are sinking a working shaft 5 by g feet, well timber ed, work progressing day and night, and will continue until the level of the Vekol ore bodies is reached. On the Vekol they are sinking shaft to connect with the present deep work ings of the mine. which are now reached by g tunnel. On the east side of the Vekol properties shaft is being sunk to develop the Anglo American, and thus far with fiatter- ing results. Work on the celebrated Combination shaft is temporarily sus- pended, but will be resumed in few days At the bottom of the shaft everything indicates near approach to rich and fine ore bodies. At Casa Grande many new, large, and good class of buildings are in course of erec- tion, wells being dug, and windmills and tanks put oyer them. As he passed eastward the water in the Flor ence canal was flowing to the south of the road. Many hundreds of acres of ripening grain can be seen where but few months ago there was noth- ing but sage and grease-wood. This IS the result of one enterprise in con- veying water into the so called desert lands of Arizona, and proves beyond all doubt that the Arizona farmer only requires but g little water tl make our fertile soil produce all that man needs for his comfort and susten' ance. In fact, Southern Arizona is $ verltable land of sunshine, fruits flowers and dsilver-Citizen.

WANTS REFORM.
The Views of a New Correspondent Upon
 the State of Public Affairs.
RnMIE MAv 1n 12Q0

BOWIE, MAY 15, 1890. | EDITOR ENTERPRISE :-I have not seen your face for some time, still you are remembered and in all Kind
 ness. I have seen in the last few
 months in various Territorial papers
 much talk about the burdens of taxa tion and some rather inadequate means recommended for their reduc- tion. Of course some of the ways suggested are good, but they stop short of applying an adequate remedy. Some, probably most, of the sugges- tions are honestly made, while others are the merest- clap trap like Gov. Wolfiey having congress legalize all the acts of the Legislatures and claim ing great virtue for the act as though that measure benefited the people {; or having this declared a separate customs district as though tax payers had any interest that. There are some unnecessary offices these should he unhesitatingly cut away, as it is not requisite to make sinecure offices for political friends, as all expense is but accumnlating burdens upon the producing tax paying people. I will name one in the school board that is more than us less, viz: territorial superintendent of public instruction, and this is the case more or less through every branch of own territor- ial government It seems to have been the object of most of our Legis- laJures in cahOots with some of our governors to see how much the people will stand even now from this class of shysters 1t is not retrenchment and economy, but how can we raise more money. The great item of ex- pense that Overshadows all Is in catching. guarding, feeding and try ing criminals and our sympathisine criminal Legislatures have had such a fellow feeling for the unfortunates accused of crime that they make the people pay in addition lawyer for defending him. Formerly this was different; if a man accused of crime was without money, and they general ly are, the court appointed lawyer for his defense and it was deemed courtesy for the appointed to accept and do his best for his client. Some speedier and less expensive justice is what is required; our courts ar too cumbersome and year by year the barnacles are getting hold; the leeches are drawing the peoples life out until finally, and we have not far to go, the honest people will have all they can do to pay taxes.
 For the people it would be prefera- ble to have martial law or the speedy justice of the vigilance committee to the vexatious, uncertain and ex- pensive courts as now organized.
 Another item that can not be too closely looked after is the county hospitals, not to say the Territorial Insane Asylum and the Territoral Penitentiary.
 Such swindlers as little Steve are to be looked for in all grades; the only way Is not to give them chance. In his case had ordinary caution been used that money would never have been left in his hands an hour as he never had clear record and should always had the standing and treatment accorded him of a known thief.

CASA GRANDE.
Evidence Of Growth and Prosperity Personal Mention and Notes of In-
 terest.

CASA GRANDE, Ariz May 14th, 1890.
 It Is matter of encouragement to the residents of this busy little station on the Southern Pacific railroad that new corners to the place or travellers en passant, are favorably impressed with the activity apparent and the future prospects of the town and its surroundings, and do not hesitate to express themselves with considerable enthusiasm, although residents with becoming modesty still confine them selves to expressing their hopes Of what will be. The prosperity of the locality is principally due to the sue cess of the Florence canal which has brought much lard under cultivation
 South of Casa Grande white line indicates a field of ripening grain. Several of the rancheros have gone East leaving their ranches in the care of skilled farmers from Mesa City.
 Homer Johnston leaves on to-day's train for Chicago to visit his parents, and will return next fall.
 C1lonel Perkins of Saeaton is in town on business.

 Isaac Williams, who has charge of one of the trading posts on the reser- Vatiou, Is Tn town.
 Arthur H. Elliott has been ascertain ing his lines in company with Sur veyor Chillson and setting corner posts in accordance. The recent accept ance of surveys by the Government and filing of plats in the Land Office at Tucson wlll give settlers g chance 10 perfect their claima,

 The Indian woman who was beater and stabbed and recently died at Saca ton where she was taken from here has presumably come to life again, q! she has been seen in town and ex libited scars to prove her identity. The large amount of lumber coming in gives employment to many men 1T unloading the cars.
 A number of Moline wagons ant new agricultural machinery is in th' dapQt yard, recently arrived for W. c Smith.
 Chris Loss recently went east or mining business and will return il about six weeks.
 Hon. Claude M Johnson carried east some rich ore taken from hi mines south of Gila Bend near AjC mines. Fhis is the third trip of tw' thousand miles MT. Johnson has takel in the interests of his valuable proper ty. MT. Bell accompanies MT. Johnson east. In the recent death of Senate Beck, Mir. Johnson has lost a warn personal friend.
 Many commercial travellers are con stantly coming and going, and in tn language of one of them it is "matte of surprise what amount of trade done right here in Arizona" LEIGH
