about 600 above said mine. The mine
proved vsry rich and about two thousand
dollars in nuggets were tsken out the first
day. The discovsrsrs who are partners
Of Capt. Jaek Mellon, Of the river steam
ers, had no supplies, and Todmsn took a
row boat and started dawn the Colorado
river to purchase what was needed. Two
days afterwards tho boat was found bot
tom upwards, adrift in the river, and
since than Todman has not been heard
Of. II IL believed that be has been
drowned. John Todman was an old pio-
neer in mining and 10 well known in
Tombstone, Nosales and Sonora. The
mine they discovered N q traditional mine
which has been known to the Indians for
. great many years. -Four years ago a
Yuma squsw conductsd two residents Of
Yuma TO the neighborhood Of this pro-
perty on promise ID show them cheap
gold" When within two hundred yards
Of the mine the squaw sat down and said
in Spanish, "look." The two men could
zee no indications Of gold and got angry
at the woman, threatening her with dire
punishment II she did not show them
gold. All she would say, however, was
"look." In half an hour they got dis
gusted and started for homo. The squaw
was simply carrying out the superstition
Of the Indians. which impels them to re-
fuse to show the white man gold. 1t is
to be hoped that Todrnan ID safe, but the
chances are against him. He was or is

Thu Fir Department.

The annual report OF the Fire Commits
sioners furnishes new evidence OF the excel
lence and efficiency OF this department OF
the city Government. 1t is the one
too. with which the Legislature at
Albany has least to do, and which
has usually at it's head an avowed ma
chine politician of the order so distasteful
and abhorrent to reformers OF the dill
ettante school Of local statesmen. The New
York Fire Department is managed from
New York, not from Albany, and the neces-
sary rules and ordinances for its conduct
and government are established here.
In point OF membership, the Fire Depart
ment of New York is larger than that or
London, but smaller by one-half than that
OF Paris In point Of efficiency the official
figures OF the three cities show it to be
superior to either. Our department costs in
a year 50, 600, 900, and of this sum by far the
larger portion is required for salaries. The
members of the force number 1889 OF all
grades, including $50 firemen. The number
OF fire alarms averages nine day, but such
is the energy of the department that, not
wthstanding the increase OF the city in pop
ulaton and material wealth. the present
average OF loss from each fire is far less than
WAS the case twenty-five or fifteen years ago.

This was the speech, We say, OF Congress

over the individual citizen. 1t was the

Two Minutes With Roger Quarles Mills.

When the supplementary census bill, pro-
vidinR for the unconstitutional inquiry into
the private indictment OF citizens was be-
fore the House in February last. Mr.. ROGER
QUARLES MILLS OF Texas made a two
minute speech in favor of the proposed In
QUESTION. He wanted more time. but didn't
get it. Nevertheless, the brief period OF two
minutes was long enough to enable Mr..
MILLS to put himself on record as the zeal
GUS supporter of a measure opposed to the
vital principle OF true Democracy and re-
pugnant to American ideas and 10 tho SELF
respect Of free citizens.
The question was on the amendment
making II misdemeanor for the American
citizen to refuse to tell the census enumer-
ator the amount OF his mortgage debt. the
rate OF interest paid. and the purpose for
which the debt was incurred.
1t makes the blood boil to think that any
Congressman pretending to be Democrat
could speak to such a motion except to de-
nouIlce IL in the strongest and plainest terms
which the mother tongue supplies Tor e1cep-
tional occasions.
Yet certain FnrmPrs' Alliances and certain
labor organizations huc sent In petitions
OF investigation into private account books
and personal motives for getting into debt
There Was all impression among some Con
Eressmen W the time that Il vote for thu
mortgage inquisiton would be rather pop
ulsr thing with their peculiar constituents
and consequently a good political Invest
ment with view to tho coming elections
Mr.. BLoUET OF Georgia had tho courage t
protest against the amendment as inquisi
tora. Mr. ROGER QUARLEs MILLS go
promptly upon his feet and used his tw'
minutes as follows:

1t is learned that tho explorer CAMILLE
Dou1s, who was murdered in the Sahara a
while ago. made the mistake OF assuming tho
character OF hadji. which he could not main
tain without an intimate acquaintance with
the holy cltios OF Arabia and Moslem ceremo-
MES. Any brother hadji could easily detect
the imposture unless DoULs had at his fingers
ends, which he had not, hundred and one de-
tails about matters with which the brother
hood is particularly familiar. Thus DouLs's
disguise WAS easily penetrated, and he paid
for his mistake with his life few disguised
explorers have had wonderful success In the

It Is almost certain death to be found out.
