On Thursday deed to the Victoria and Hamilton gold mines at Riverside, was placed in escrow in the Pinal County Bank to await the result of test of the value of the ores. These properties are owned by James Elder and Adolf Me mann of Riverside, and a party residing in Globe. They have been developed to a depth of 270 feet, and have over POO feet of tunnels. The width of the ledge is not known, as crosscuts have been run for twenty eight feet without reaching the wall With depth the quality of the ore has greatly improved and coarse gold is found quite generously sprinkled through the quartz. The purchasers are from Fl Paso and one of the principals will ar rive here in few days to make the final test of the ore before a transfer is made. As competent miners regard this property as one of the largest and most valuable gold mines in Arizona, the importance of the deal that W ill soon bring an active camp into operation, cannot be overstimated.

School house, last Friday evening, and it
was the unanimous verdict that it was well
done. The love scene was grand. but the
gallant captain failed, although he had gold
by the ton, and the good looking young man
who claimed not riches carried off the fair
bride. Alas, how seldom this thing happens
nowadays. The songs of the colOred gent
were worth more than the price of admis-
sion. Those young people are giving these
entertainments for the purpose of buying all

One Of the grandest triumphs Of the pee
pie in this decade is the placing of sugar on
the free list in the new tariff bill. Sugar
has not i'm the past proved to be one OF the
industries which have been developed by
protection, and 1t does not seem probable to
u that sugar of any grade can be produced
in large quantities at the present prices paid
for labor, but IL 1t can the premium of 2
cents per pound provided for i'm this bill is
better protection than the impost duty here
tOiore imposed. Speaking Of this subject
and of the pending tariff bill, Mr.. Mckinley
says i'm an interview: II think very like
~ that we can and will, within very few
years, produce all the sugar we wait to con-
sumo, and, by home production. it will come
cheaper 10 our people than 1t will by plac-
ing it on the free list, but there was agreat-
er demand for free sugar than there was for
dutible protection to our home sugar in
terests, and as we were catering to the great
majority we concluded to make sugar free
and give protection in the way of bounty.
No, the bounty clause will not he stricken
out on the floor of the House, although it
1t may be very unpopular in many quarters.
We intend to keep faith with our sugar
men, and the bounty will, think. stand for
fifteen years. Shoes and leather would
have been no higher In price ii we had re-
tanned the proposed Is per cent on hides,
but the democrats could have made big
bugabOo over tax ON poor peoples shoes,
you know, and 50 we concluded at the last
moment 10 make hides free. II Is in my
judgment the best outline Of Republican
principles that have ever seen In bill or
platform We have carried out to the cx-
act letter the pledges we made at Chicago
IN June, 1888, and which the people ratified
at the polls in November of that year. The
bill will become law substantially as 1t
stands, and think will go into effect June
so next"

Mason b Hamlin Organs and Pianos

The improved method of fastening the
strings of pianos, invented by the Mason 4
Hamlin Organ and Piano company in the
year 1882, is unquestiOnably one of the most
important improvements ever made making
the instrument more richly musical i'm its
tones, as well as more durable, and much
less liable to get out of tune.
Both the Mason g. Hamlin organs and pi-
amos excel in that which is the chief excel
lence in any musical instrument, quality of
tone. Other things, though important, are
much less so than this. An instrument with
unmuscal tones cannot be a good musical
instrument. Illustrated catalogues; con-
tanning descriptions of new and popular
styles Of organs and pianos, introduced this
season will be sent free to any one address,
