landed in Arizona in 1868. Speaking to
the Bulletin enc day this week about
getting a supple of ice for his saloon dur.
ing court week, and figuring up the ex-
pense he remarked:
Let me tell you that in Tucson /
made the first ice ever manufactured in
the territory and sold it for $50 a
pound.
How did make it? Well froze it
in an ice-cream freezer with some chem
icals fixed up by BOSS" Levin. 1t was
hard work, and | could only freeze about
three pounds at a time, and there was
scramble for every lump even at that
high price. Those were the good old
days. There were the Jacobs boys, the
Zeckendorfs, BOSS" Levin, Sam Drach-
man, Geo. Hucke, Charlie Shibell,
Charlie Brown and number of others.

Tho Maraauitta Nine.

George Davis. the Phenix mining ex-
pert was in town a few days Ego en- route

Davis has just returned from Chicago.
where he had gone to purchase TIE
Maraquitta mine near Ehrenberg. He
found it's owner, Mis-. Jacques Traves-
st. Ormand, keeping a photographer
shop in an obscure street and offered
her the sum of $4,000 for the mine.
Mrs, st. Ormand CONTEMPORARY refus
ed the offer, saying that she would OF
take less than 100000 for the property.
Mr.. Davis remained three weeks try
ing to effect the purchase but finding
that the lady would not change her fig
ures was compelled to return to Arizona.
The Maraquitta nine was discovered by
Jacques Traves, Mrs, Ormand's first
husband, nearly thirteen years ago. Its
discovery created a great deal of excite
ment as the quartz averaged high in
gold. The Maraquitta has been worked
occasion ally but SO far without profit.
although there are many mining men
WhO believe it to be rich property
The miDo was patented years ago and
consequently Its owner can let it lie idle
The purchase of the mine by men Of

0pment, and there is good reason to be
lleve that it would prove profitable

What Will They Do With it? E, L
WetmOre's Opinion.

What will "they" do with it.? is a
question of grave Importance now being
submitted to the loyal subjects of Uncle
Sans domain, u subject matter that
made its origin 10 an act passed by con-
gress in 1873 in discretionary powers to
the secretary of the treasury and director
of the mint and a clause purchasing
silver at market rates. The result Of
this act has twice passed the position of
the republican form of government, of
the people and for the people represent
ed and making laws for the good and well
fare of al, including the producer and
consumer, lowering the dignity of the
nation and dropping from its right pos
ition of rectitude and justice
To the petty and insignificant position
OF tradesmen, thereby placing them
selves in Inc peculiar place of Compel
Ing with its self. Is it possible for a
government to Iealize a profit out of
itself?
When the constitution and its amend
ments were submitted to the sisterhood
of states and ratified by them was their
one clause act or even an implied in
tention embodied therein authorizing
our secretary of the treasury TO open a
profit and loss account.
The constItutionality of the act OF 1881
of regulating the weights of coins and
the relative value of the gold and sill
yer coins has never been questioned, be
cause it is authorized by the constitu-
ton that was ratified by the states, and
when the act Of. 1887 placed gold at $40.
81 per ounce and silver at 1929 per
ounce in standard coins that were made
legal tender between states.
This constitution has been expanded
or ignored. Silver com has been united
under the constitutional act of 1887 and
circulated anon g the people at the sale
for each silver ounce coined, and
the producer is rendered 9715 cents an
ounce for the silver. When the act OF 1887
plac the value OF the silver ounce to
be paid to the silver producer at Sl.1632
per ounce thereby defrauding the silver
producer out of 1882 cents on each sill
yer nee unconstitutiCnally purchased
by the treasury department under the
discreet )Dal powers granted to the sec
rotary of the treasury. If silver bullion
produced In the silver states has depre-
ciated in value on the market and the
government is unable to maintain the
ratio OF value between the two coins ad |
opted In 1887. Congress can again |
meet and change the relative exacting
value between the gold and silver coins
by placing more or less silver in the sill
yer dollar; that will measure out justice
to the consumer, giving him the amount
of silver that congress has enacted
should constitute legal dollar, and to
the producer the requisite number of
silver moneys that represent the num-
Der of grams of pure silver in the bullion
that has been rendered at the mint.
If the acts Ola tra2>iry department |

I'd in 1873 resulting in the opening of |
profit and loss account in the nations |
records are valid, we fail to see what !
they will do with it.

MICA NINE.
Arizona hines Take a New Depart
uro--Whsrs is It?

Arizona everywhere abounds 10 paying
mines of about everything minable hnd
10 mica the territory abounds, but not
in paying quantities. Every dry creek
red is an apparent mass Of diamonds
from the detached particles Of mica they
contain in large quantities, but paying
deposits are about as rare in Arizona as
in other parts OF the world. Near Phe-
nix small bed has been found hut is
Tot worked.
The mine recently discovered, and
owned by Knox Corbett ana Samuel
Hu..a t.s, is now the object of great hopes
by The owners, and according to their
report II the property may well be such,
as mica always has ready sale and brings
from 10 cents to Sl4 a pound, as the size
of the sheets varies.
Upon the whereabouts OF the property
they ara most strictly mum, but other
wise concerning it are perfectly frank.
They have it in paying quantities, it be-
ing found IN large Jumps which are care
fully extracted by skilled labor, after
wards TO be split into sheets. Specimens
OF the mica are perfect, of good size,
some reaching ter inches square. Two
men are employed at the mine. The
owners are now IN correspondence with
parties in tie east for sale of the output
Of the mine.
There are but two other mica mines
now worked III America. One In
New Hampshire, the other in North
Carolina. Extensive plants are at the
mine for working and splitting the mica.
Last year S97, goo. worth of mica was
imported. coming from Europe.

A Snake Story from India.

There is belief current in all parts OF
India that certain variety of snaka
called Shesh Nag, when it attains the
age of 1,00G years, has precious jewel
formed in its head. The jewel. it is
affirmed, possesses the quality of sucking
up the poison of the deadliest snake if
applied to the wounded part. Strangely
enough Paris gentleman is reputed to
possess this invaluable jewel. according
to correspondent of Gujarati weekly,
published at Wadhwan, in Gujarati
The correspondent says that when the
present owner-who. by the way, is now
sixty three-was twenty-three years old
he lighted upon snake of the above
mentioned variety which he killed. Then
he found the jewel in his head. 1t has
already saved several lives.
When Mr. Vidal, the collector Of the
district, was there, 1t was shown to him
100. Inc jewel is said to contain thin.
crescent like fiber, which INCREASINGLY
oScilliates in the center. The gaikwar
OF Baroda, the maharajah OF Kolhapur,
and several Of her native princes are said
to have offered several hundred thousand
rupees for this unique jewel. The name

Floods may be successfully opposed or
escaped. Railways and wagon roads
may and must be laid on river food
plains, but the entertainments and tres
ties and bridges should be raised not
only above the latest freshet mark, but
well above the great natural food mark
found in the plain itself, and the recip-
rocal effects of embankments and other
structures on future freshets should be
cautiously reckoned. Farms NAV and
ought to be located on fertile bottom
lands enriched by annual or decennial
overflow; but the farmers should dig
deep for his foundations and build his
superstructures strong and high.
On every flood plain Of eastern Amer
lea he should provide for the loss of crop
and fences once in three, or five, or ten
years; and both common humanity and
economic policy urge that dumb beasts
should be pastured and fed on the up
lands, so that the fertile river bottoms
may be devoted to their best use-name-
ly, the production of plant crops.
Cities and towns ought not to be built
on the food ridden and miasnatic low
lands; yet they have been in the past
and will be in the future, so the towns
man, like the farmer, should build high
and strong and hold himself ready to re-
move his dear ones and carry his goods
to upper stories. And the food swept
bottom lands of the American rivers
afford business opportunity, curiously
neglected in the past, though destined
to be successfully grasped at no distant
day-namely, insurance against floods.
The great desideratum is general re-
cognition of the facts-which are dem
onstrateG by the observations of thou
sands and gainsaid by none, though
ignored by multitudes-that rivers bear
their own flood marks in the alluvial
plains by which they are skirted, and
that men occupy these plains at their
perii.-W. j. McGee in Forum.
