FAVOR THE CANTEENS.
Official Reports to Secretary Proctor
on the Government Bar- Rooms.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l6.-Col. r +. A..
Crofton's report or the success of the
"canteen" at Fort Sheridan, illinois,
will not be an encouraging contribu
ton to the temperance workers who
are making war on Secretary Proctor
to have him close army "canteens.
The canteen is the institution run by
soldiers at army posts, where they
may get beer and refreshments and
play billiards without resorting to out
side saloons. 1t has been attacked as
a government bar-room by the tenn
perance people who are laboring
earnestly to have il abolished.
Secretary Proctor has been getting
reports on the system in order to base
judgment good or bad on the much
assliled canteen. Col. Crofton's report
was received at the war department
% day and bears date Sept. $. He says
the Fort Sher.da cantecn has been in
operation since last April and has
proved an entire success. He believes
that the contentmcnt of the soldiers is
much increased by a well run cantcen,
and he advises that new buildings be
provided for perfecting the canteen
system at the post
This is substantially the same as
posts report. Col Smith, in command
at Fort Wayne, near Detroit, says the
canteen at his post has been a great
benefit and advantage to the COM
mand." Major Coates, in command at
Fort Mackinac, writes: "The canteen
il in full working order IL has had,
think, an excellent effect upon the
welfare of the command, and is apprc-
ciated by the men. Our canteen has n
billiardroom with one table, lunch
room in which beer and such other
supplies as are authorized by the can
teen council arc sold. The billiard
room and reading-room are provided
with games and tables and are made
attractive and comfortable" Capt.
Towie, in command of Fort Brady,
Mich, writes: II am glad to say that
no injurious effect has Decn produced

ton that with canteen in full opera

The WaIIapai Feast.

The Wahapais ended their testivi- ties by accepting a special issue of ra- tions from Uncle Sam at the hands of the superintendent of Indian schools at Fort Mohave.
 Chief Serrumm cautioned the tribe that the promise of r@tions was only snare to get them to bring in their children, SO that they might be cor rallied St the Indian school, but the beeves in the pen, waiting to be dis tributed, were more eloquent than the chief, and 6S6 Indians presented them. selves to be counted, Chief serrumrn among the number.
 Prof. Cowan explained to them that he did not purpose to trade beef for paPoOses and explained that the idea of teaching the children was to make them able to take good care of them selves and learn not to be cheated by the whites This was received with as much approval ss could be expected, falling as it did on empty stomachs, and the Indians separated into groups and began at once to prepare their feasts.

Experimental sansIs..

A work is going on in southern Ari- zonA at the present time which is of much importance, and very little knowledge concerning it's scope of usefulness has been disseminated. Bulletin No. 1, issued from Tucson, Atves one an idea of what great un- dertsS::n9 has been inHugurated. Four stations have D,,cr established and others viii be started as s>on as prsc- ticable. The one at Tucson will be watched with more interest by the P>o- pie of this section. It is located on the University grounds and the soil is described as gravelIy loam overlying soft lime rock of from two ts six feet. Permanent water is found at 80 feet and 8 small piece of adjoining i land with no hard pan and water al Se feet. In speaking of the future work of this department the report says:
 A large number of varieties of fruits, including nearly all that have been found of value in California; will be planted ct the four stations during the winter, ss well as other plants of economic interest. including the sugar beet, sugar cane, cotton. grasses, for age plants, etc. etc, and the results obtained recorded and published from time to time.
 As soon as the chemical laboratory is equipped, which viii be about the Hast Of January, we shall begin an CT animation of the waters of the several streams and of the wells in the Terri tory used for irrigation, and chemi- cal analysis of soils snd of other mss terials.
 Analysis of soils and of water of the Territory will be made free of cost when such examination is of public interest Cosrespondence is solicited from persons interested In having such work done"

rar,G an Lead.


 The last number Ol tbe Engineer ! ing and Mining Journal has the iol- lowing 0 say on the lead tariff ques- tion
 Although the effects of the late financial stringency are now no longer felt, and the smelling companies are again purchasing ores freely, the high treatment charges remain unchanged on silicious ores and these carrying but small amount ot lead, and in consequence there are frequent re- ports, from Colorado, Utah, New Mex ico and other States, of mines which are stacking ese, restricting fr=Ess<5s;;::es fr=Ess<5s;;::es ton or closing down, until there shall be favorable change in the ore mar ket. What contrast does this make to the claim of the Iead-taritf adyO- eates, before the passage of the law, that Mexican lead would be brought into the United States in such large quantities that 1t would force down the price al lead and thus stop the operation of a large number of mines" At the present time, after ihe tariff law has been in operstioz for less tban four months. there are fewer mines in operation and the lead product of this country is less than before its passage. The price of lead has been increased, 1t is true, but the value Of the lead product of the mines of the argsntiferous lead ore produ- cing States has fallen of from sI2,- PSI, 600 to Il,55S 100, a decrease of s7O3 ,2oO. .-
 There never was a pernicious law which showed its injurious effects more quickly or more plainly than this. It has hurt the interests of the miners of silver-lesd and dry ores; it has hurt the interests of American capital in vested in mines and railways in Mex ico, and it has hurt the smelling in terests of this country. Whom has it benefteI7 Only tho miRing interests of Mexico. whither 1t has driven c&pi- tal for investment in smelling works, the bankers and smeIlers Of Europe and the comparatively small number of American producers of high grade lead ore, particularly lead carbonate who have been enabled to exact ab- normally high prices for their ores which increase, Of course, comes di- reciIy from the pockets of the pro ducers of the silicious and refractory grades. Since the recent rise in smelt- ing charges this fact seems 70 have be- come more apparent to the latter class of miners"
