JULY; The Years Sweetheart. (From the Ladies Home Journal.)

IFTUW IIIt IduI6S HUU6 JUuEuHI.J All things beautiful love her: The butterflies light and fleet, The branches that bend above her, The mosses that kiss her feet; The ripening grain in the meadow, The birds, singing sweet and near, The opened flowers In the shadow, The brook, with it's ripple clear; The bee in his clover sleeping, The locusts, that, drone and whir, The rain from the hills, down sweeping, And the clouds-are in love with her. For she, oh, the shy newcomer, So dear to the world, so dear! Is heart of the heart of summer, And sweetheart of all the year.

HIS FUNNIEST PATIENT.

Whether her husband realizes the latter fact do not pretend to say, and if he | does he has too much pride to confess it to the world. We'll, this woman came to me one morning with a little vial, and requested me to inject some of its contents in her arms and neck. Of course inquired what the liquid might be- She answered:

PLACER MINING.
A Company Formed in Riverside--Ex-
 oellent Prospects.

A party in from Riverside reports all to be prosperous and lively in that DOT tion of Arizona, and among other things mentioned something quite out of the ordinary in this territory in the mining line which is contemplated there.
 It is placer mining. Thos. :Weeden and a party of mining men finding in that vicinity splendid facilities for this kind of work, both in the property to be worked and the situation of water, in- corporated company which is to be known as the Gro Fino Placer Mining Co. to carry on the business.
 They have about 800 acres of ground along and near the Gila rlver which is full of very fine paying dirt, averaging 40 cents to the cube yard. As this mining is paying business in Cali fornIa where the dirt onIy returns f and , cents to the yard, this mining will be Very remuneFative, to say the least.
 The water for the purpose will be taken from the Gila, F miles above where they intend working which VII give fall of 200 feet. A 20 inch pipe will carry the water and the pressure thus obtained will fear the mineral from its abiding place at an incalculable rate.
 The plans for working are being ma tured and material will be sent for in the very near future.

MAN-ABOUT-TOWN.
He Talks With Major Wham on the
 Sioux Situation.

l was walking down the street today when l met Major Wham, who had charge of the turbulent Sioux in 1872. He was sent there by President Grant to inaugurate a peace policy. "What in your opinion, Maj. Wham, is the cause of the present Indian troubles in the northwest?" 1 asked.
 Bad management in general on the part of the Indian Bureau, particularly cutting down the rations, I should judge" was the reply.
 In reply to further questions the Ma jor said:
 "I went into the Sioux country in 1872 and took these same Indians, with the exception of Sitting Bull, off the war path and put them on the reservations There must be some 10000 Indians there including the Northern Cheyennes and Araphoes, and should say not less than 10000 warriors could be raised. There are nearly three times as many redskins on the war-path now as participated in the sCuster campaign, and stood of Generals Terry and Crook. More than that, Little Wound, Red Cloud, Man Afraid-of His Horse, Two Strike, and Amerncan Horse were not on the war path then. They are old men now, and have lived in peace for nearly 20 years. 1t seems to me the case must have been very much aggravated to compel them to take the war-path in the face of prob able annihilatiop.
 Major Wham highly commends the suggestion General Miles military ability, and his suggestion that the ln dian affairs be turned over to the War Department.
 Speaking of the chiefs at the head of present insurrection Mai. Wham con- siders Little Wound by far the most capable in every way. He is a man of 50; of magnificent.physique and talks fair Red Cloud is in his seventies as is Two Strike. Both have been peace fully disposed toward the white people, and especially the former has urged the Indians to educate their children and make them like the white man

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.
Eoyya Man W ho Knows Them Would
 Solve It.

In talk with MT. Frank Porter, De-
 putty T. $. Marshal, who knows Indians
 of Arizona as we'll as they know them.
 selves, their habits, pursuits and capa
 bilities, having lived on the San Carlos reservation among them for the last ten years, he made statement that all In ! dlan troubles in Arizona-and for the matter of that, anywhere-are due totally
 to one or more of three things: whiskey, cartridges and tiswin.
 Tiswin is probably the worst source of trouble of the three. It is beverage they make for themselves, and from 1t they get beastly drunk. It is made from COTE, by placing the cereal in stone jars and soaking for three days, when 1t will sprout. After it has sprouted they grind it, put roots in, and set it away to fer ment. It is of a mild taste, and when drinking it one would not imagine that its effects are so powerful. The Indians are very fond of it, and improve every occasion to brew it. At San Carlos the making of it is strictly forbidden by the agent in charge, and when an Indian IS founG making or drinking it he IS quick ly put in the calaboose.
 The whiskey they are less fond of than the tiswin, but their love for 1t IS part of their reputation, They get it at San Carlos from principally Mex lcans-who bring it in and disburse 1t on the sly.
 Cartridges are another of t- aInbi tions the Apache Lo strives fCr. He has guns, and to take them away from him IS Useless they are his private personal property, for which there IS no deprivation, What ne lacks, and what he must have to go on the war path with, are cartridges. He would purchase them under the preteXt of hunting purposes, were he allowed. but this excuse being denied him, he must get them as he does whiskey, from Mexicans from outside the reservation.
 In the case of the White Mountain In dians the government is becoming aware of the source of the present evils. They are no longer issued ammunition, and the strongest measures are being taken for the prevention of smuggling the GOV eted articles into the reservation limits. l
 That's the solution of the whole busl- | ness" said Mr. Porter. "When the Ari- | zona Indians are wholly deprived of tiswin, cartridges and whiskey, and are | so situated as to make it an impossi i bility to get them, the whole trouble | with the Apaches and every other kind | Indian is at an end."

C. EDWARD CHATHAM,
Cape Town,
 South Africa.

Mir. Chatham it appears was brother of tour Jim" whom he had not seen since they parted twenty four years ago on the old homestead way back in Hi noiS. Edward Chatham was then eight years old, and it Is more than doubtful if the brothers recognized each other when they met.
 Ed. Chatham has just returned from South Africa where he has been en- gagged in Tailroading on the Cape Town, St. Peters < .iartinsburg road. This road is owned by an American named H. F. Duffman, and IS the only line ln Lnsst section.
 Mr. Chatham thinks South Africa is not unlike Arizona in many respects. It has large mining population, exten- sive cattle ranges, and considerable area is devoted to a1riculture. The climate IS semi tropic and temperate, mild and salu orious, with an occasional snowfall to tiy gle the blood,
 The population is about one third for eign of which the Germans are largely in excess. The natives are rapidly adopt ing European customs and business tactics. Some of the wealthlest and most prosperous business men in the country belong to the native class. In matters of dress, however, they are ex- tremely decollette. They have a fancy for the "airy nothingness,' which we read about. At no time of the year are their garments such as to be cumber- some.
 They ivory trade is one of the largest industries of the section. Three carloads a week are shipped by rail, and much mors is hauled by teams.

If You had a Friend

About to visit some section of the coun- try where malarial disease, either in the form of chills and fever or bilious remit tent was particularly rife. what would be about the best advice you could give him? We will tell you-to carry along, or procure on arriving, that potent medicinal safeguard, Hostetter's Stom- ach Bitters, known throughout malaria plagued regions, here and in other countries, as the surest means of dis arming the miasmatic scourge, and rob ping it of its fell destructive influence. Not only does it fortify the system by increasing its stamina, but overcomes irregularity of digestion, the liver and the bowels, and counteracts the un- favorable effects of over-exertion, bodily and mental exposure in rough weather, or occupation too sedentary or laborious, loss of apetite and excessive nervous ness. The functions of alimentation, bilious secretion and sleep have in it a most powerful and reliable auxiliary.
