THE expense of the annual trips of Tucsonites to seaside resorts of Califor mia, is great, and they bring back in ex- change, bronchitis, rheumatism and asthma. How senseless it seems to make a pilgrimage to the seaside where the raw winds start the germs of consump- tion, and the glare of the shimmering waters produce weariness of brain and dimness of vision, while our own bright mountains possess far greater attrac- tions, and their cool, soft winds give a life and vigor that cannot be excelled anywhere else in the world. All these benefcent influences and rare attractions can be Lad almost without expense and within view of our own valley homes. The Santa Catalina mountains are des tined to become famous for their sum- mer resorts and sanitariums, and our people ought to be among the first to experience and appreciate these advan- tages.

Something New and Good

Col. Durr has again made a step for
 ward as a public benefactor. It had
 come to his ears recently, that some of
 the ladies of Tucson were complaining about the beer sold iE this city being
 bitter. Being on confidential terms with
 his grandmother, famous old lady who has spent her lifei n studying the likes and dislikes of her sex, he wrote her, explaining what was the matter with the ladies of Tucson. The grandmother knew at once the remedy, and straight way sent carload of the celebrated Extra Pale Erlanger Standard Beer. This beer arrived yesterday, and has been sampled by the best judges in this city. and pronounced the best family beer in the West. It is just the thing for the ladies, and no bitter taste is car ried with it. The Colonel asks that every family try few bottles of this beer, and feels confident that they will have no other afterwards. The grandmother has never made a mistake about the wants and needs of Tucson, and will answer for the satisfaction given by this new beer with her reputation, which is good. |
 The Colonel has been instructed to sell | this beer at SIP per bbl. and s2.20 per | doz., SO that all may share in the luxury | nd benefits afforded by It's use.

THE gist of the Behring sea contro- versy may be summed up as follows: Blaine claims that the sea in dispute is a closed sea, inasmuch as it was such when controlled by Russia; consequently our purchase of Alaska gives us the same jurisdiction over these waters as was ex- ercised by Russia before the sale. On the other hand, Lord Salisbury main tains that Behring waters are open to British fishermen, and bases his argu ment on the fact that we have never of fcially declared the sea to be a closed one. His argument is a very poor one indeed, and will not materially help the solution of Behring sea affairs in favor of Great Britain. If England ha; no better claim upon the fisheries of Alaska than the one at present advanced by Sails bury, the sooner the controversy is drop ped, the better it will be for the diplo- matic reputation of Britain's representa- tive.

THE present campaign between Salva
 dor and Guatemala will exhaust the re- sources of both countries, plunge them heavily into debt, and once more excite the evil passion for bloodshed, which is the worst defect in the Spanish-Ameri- can character. Nothing could be more unfortunate to these two little republics than the present war. They were just on the eve of consolidating into one con- federacy. The present trouble results from an old conflict brought on by Bar rios, of Guatemala. He undertook to bring about a confederation by force, and failed disastrously. His successor apparently cherishes the same doctrine.

THE interest now being taken in the various canal and irrigating projects in Arizona. is evidence that the agricultur- al advantages are beginning to be recog- nized, and the foundation of our lasting prosperity laid. The area of land capa- ble Of being bIoIgnt under cultivation Tn southern Arizona Is far greater than even our own people supposed. While the canals along thu Salt and other rivers have brought into successful cultivation many thousands of acres, they csnsti- tute but small fraction of the posslbil- ities in this portion of the territory. The Santa Cruz valley is a ripe field in this direcJiou. From the source of the river, down through its entire course until it reaci:es the Giia, its waters can be made to do service in irrigating great fields and orchards, and where the herds of cattle now roam there will exist pros porous colonies of thrifty settlers. Peo- pie who krow Arizona only as a desert country will laugh at the idea that 1t can be made an agricultural country, but the future will prove that its deserts can be converted into wheat fields. Oar ad vanced season will command for us a better market than any other portion of the United States, inasmuch as our pro- ducts will reach the markets at a time when prices are at their highest point. Our seasons are long and several crops can be grown during the year, giving the farmer his choice of time in marketing his products. In looking over the future possibilities of Arizona in this direction, we can see only the brightest hopes of the most wonderful prosperity.

ARIZONA is truly wonderful country. Within its limits are contained natural advantages and resources worthy of any empire and enough to render its people self-supporting for centuries. Its mighty river, the Colorado, for a long distance is capable of generating power enough for all needed mills and manufactories, and there are many smaller streams that possess good power but in less degree; its broad valleys can produce all the grain, fruits and vegetables required; the vast grazing lands are capable of supporting immense herds of cattle; its mines yield precious metals in sufficient quantity for current use; and indeed it looks to careful observer that with cheap and rapid transportation, our "desert" land ought to smile blandly up on the world as the only really inde- pendent portion of the great sisterhood of states. The time will come when Arizona will take its proper rank among the foremost of the states of the Union, and that glorious time will arrive within the next decade.

THE business of prospecting is recog- nized to be as legitimate and regular a means of gaining the necessaries of life, with a chance for some of its luxuries in the future, as that of the miner and mill owner Every man who has a know ledge of natures ways sufficient, under ordinary circumstances, to render him able to seek intelligently over the sur face of given section of the country for mineral veiRs, possesses something which has cost hum years of toll and hardship to obtain. Such a laborer is just as worthy of his hire as one in any of the other walks of life, and to think of being able to secure the services of a competent prospector for mere grub stake. with tobacco and clothes thrown in, is the height of absurdity. The only sensible method, and the one which is regarded with most favor among those with whom the business of prospecting and mining stands in favorable light, is that by which the prospector employ ed is furnished with means and material to operate quickly and economically, ac- cording to the dictates of his judgment.

JUsT when the subject of irrigation was uppermost with the people of Ari- zona, Congress withdrew our arid lands from entry. Major Powell, who intro duced the resolution, was no doubt inn bued with the belief that frauds were being committed, and that some men were receiving more land than they were entitled to; but the absolute withdrawal of arid lands from entry is an injustice to the settlers of this territory, and con- gress ought not to adjourn until it un- does its former blind work, and restore the rule that prevailed before the arid lands were withdrawn from entry.

IT is a noticeable fact that eastern people are making closer inquiries into the resources of Arizona with a view of becoming identified with its future pros perity. They are generally men of means, and they bring in those requisites of good citizenship-money and manhood. Arizona has plenty of room for such a class of settlers, and they will find a hearty welcome here.

TIME is money. In this advanced age of modern progress, expedition is para mount to nearly every other considera- tion. The fastest means of locomotion acquires the greatest amount of traffic, and the ingenuity of the best engineers of the world is taxed to overcome or circumvent the natural obstacles of in ternational intercourse. Mountains form no barrier to the successful construc- tion of railroads, and huge rivers are spanned with gigantic bridges. for thelr accommodation. Millions of dollars are expended to save few hours time be- tween large commercial marts, and on the broad ocean every possible device for rapid transit is being brought into requisItion. The events crowded into one day of the present are greater than those of decade in the slow centuries of the past. This is an age of concentration, and the whole force of mankind seems bent on the annihilation of time and dis tance, and intensifYing centuries of ex- perience and knowledge into few short years of busy life.

IT is not true that western men look with scorn upon all projects for civiliz- ing Indians. On the contrary, western men believe that Indians can be civilized. But they deny that they are advanced in civilization by being encouraged iD lawlessness. It must not be forgotten that, with immunity from punishment is encouragement to commit crime. The trouble is that, as rule, Indians have not been punished for their crimes in this Territory. They have been allowed to return from their murderous raids to lives of ease and security upon their reservations. If they had been dealt with as white men are, when they com init murder and robbery, there would be fewer Indian outbreaks in Arizona to- day. When the Indian is made amen able to our laws, disarmed, and com pelled to help support himself, his man. agement will be an easy task. It is well enough for eastern cranks toadvance their ideas of Indian management, but there is no more sincerity or logic in their doctrine than the recent sauctli- cation of Geronimo and his family.

As time passes, new discoveries of valuable resources are being made in Arizona, and as the variety of the mate rialsuseful in the arts extends, there comes hope that the future years will develop many valuable avenues of wealth besides the abundance of precious met ais. Tucson is particularly favored in this respect by being situated in the center of country rich in the aggrega- tion of natural materials for the manu- facture of many hundreds of different articles of commerce that should make almost as many factories hum day and night.

UNDER the old Jeffersonian doctrines, over which our democratic friends never quit talking, the great northwest would still be a bowling wilderness, and no railroad would, as yet, have spanned the continent.
