ACCORDING to Wa hlngton dispatch
the silver question, which is now the
bother of politicians and parties in this
country, may be solved easier and more
enduringly than has been hoped for
The plans which Mr. Coschen, the a {,
cellor Of the exchequer, Las outlined in
recent speeches for restoring the use of
silver in England have been repeated by
him to representatives Of the United
States treasury department ID Eng
land, with the assurance that he was
ready to consider an in international
agreement for the enlarged use Of 8 /
ser.
Great Britain is not yet ready to pro-
pose the unlimited coinage Of silver, but
she may be willing to open the mints Of
India for silver coinage and TO allow the
bank Of England to keep portion OF its
reserve in silver bullion. The as:ur-
ances which lave recently come to the
state department on this bead are much
stronger than anything which has beer
received before, and have encouraged a
strong hope in the cabinet that England
will lead the way in a movement which
will raise the value of silver and restore
it to its place beside gold as recognized
money metal.
France has already irdicated her
readiness To provide for the the enlarged
use of silver, and even 10 extend invita-
tions for an international conference to
other nations. Germany is also ready
and the recent demands of the English
people for broader basis for the British
monetary system are having striking
influence upon English financiers.
The results are due in part to the ef
forts which have been made by Banker
Seligman, Lord Norfolk and one or two
other gentlemen whom Secretary Foster
asked to make inquiries regarding the
silver question while they were abroad
this summer. They had so much sue
cess in impressing upon foreign govern
ments in an unofficial way the wisdom
OF increasing the use of silver as money
that they applied to the president short
ly before the late elections for d semi
fficial Endorsement of their mission.
ThIs was given, and the position in
which it placed them. with the indica>
tion of the elections that free coinage
would not be adopted by this country
without the concurrence of other na-
tions, has enabled them to make still
more favorable reports within the las
few weeks.
England has held the key to the siI us
ton all along, and France and Germany
were not disposed to enter into an agree
ment with this country for the enlarged
use of silver unless England was also 1
party TO it. Assurances have now come
in semi official form, which justify Ih'
belief that Mr.. Goscben will lie able Il
carry out the policy which be has out
lined in his recent speeches, and thH
something approaching internation
al hi-metallIsm will soon be
the policy OF the leading commercial
countries of the world.

No ADMINISTRATION ever showed itself
better friend to the pioneer settlers OF
public land than that OF the present,
and no department OF the administra-
tion is more deserving Of the thanks Of
the pioneer settlers than the interior
department, presided over by Hon.
John S. Noble and under him Hon.
Thomas II. Carter, commissioner OF the
general land Office. The contrast be-
tween the management Of this i'm
portant branch Of the government unoer
the administration of President Hsrri-
son and that under his predecessor,
Cleveland, is exceedingly great. Under
the latter everything that could be done
to hsrass and annoy settlers was done
They were by the very acts Of the land
Office under Secretary Villas proclaimed
robbers and thieves, and land entries
that had been made in good faith and
homes that had been won from the
deserts of the southwest at the cost of
years of Toll and prIvations to which
frontier settlers are always expose d,
were suspended and patents denied TIL
q personal investigation could be made
at the hanos of pre;udIced special
agents who came to Arizona thoroughly
imbued with the idea that the govern
ment domain was being fraudulent
ly appropriated and the result
was to both government and claimants,
an almost endless source Of litigation.
Mr.. Slater, one of the democratic special
agents for this district, informed the
writer that he was reprimanded by his
superiors in Washington for not re-
porting more than one fraudulent entry
per day. AS it was he reported scores,
and harassed and annoyed the settlers
everywhere, but be it said to the good
name of Arizona he did not succeed in
securing the cancellation of a single
entry reported. True it cost the settlers
many a hard earned dollar which they
could i'll afford to spare, to prove their
residence and establish their legitimate
claims to their homes, but they did it
nevertheless. Fortunately for them their
traducers had been retired to privale
life by the verdict of the country and the
administration of public affairs was
again placed in the hands of competent
men, who directed their subordInstes tc
assist settlers in acquiring titles to theil
lands instead Of discouraging them by
petty annoyances and costly litigation
La the light of instructions more patents
have been issued in one day to the
settlers on public lands in Arizona, thar
were issued during the entire four years
of Cleveland's Incumbency. These ar,
fects that can be proven by the records
of either the general or local land offices
There are no politics in such figures, bu
they point unerringly to the friends o
people, as the administration OF Presi
dent Harrison has shown itself to be,

QUIJOTOA REVIVED.
Almost Like the Old Days at the
Camp The Mill at its Fullest
Capacity Search for a Rich Blind
Ledge"

Quijotoa is resurrected. The old
camp is almost as lively as in the days
of 81, the twenty stamps are pounding
out ore to their fullest capacity and the
blasts in the mountain are like a con-
tinuous cannonade. BoomI is heard
near, and then away, two miles off,
seemingly its echo, is heard another To-
port Ore dumps grow and diminish, as
they are visited last by the supply crew
from the mill, or by the miners car.
Captain Voll in from there, estimates
| that through the caverns of the noun
tain, in the mill and supplying wood are
one hundred men. or these, and in
Guiding Americans, Mexicans and In
dians, are sixty in the mines. The mill
is at present running on Peer ore, ard
day and night, under Mr.. Coyle, a very
competent mill man. IL is expected that
the next ores TO De worked will be the
Peerless, rocker, Welden and Central,
in the order named.
That the QuIiOtoa is "petered out"
camphs emphaticalIy denied by the CITI-
zENs informant.
at will never De petered Ou-," said he;
at is good for years. While some of
the ore Is low grade plenty of it is worth
from $500 TO 600 q ton, and some
will go as high as $1,000 a ton. Right
now il they want to sell it can fur
nish them a buyer for ore on the dump
at Sl25 ton. / think the mill can be
kept steadily running with the ore on
hand and that being regularly mined"
The mill has now been running since
Dec. Is, except a short back-set while
new shoes and dies were being put ia,
and no clean-ups have been made. In a
day or two, however, one will be made,
and then how big a run the Quijotoas
can make will be learned. The state
ment is made by Capain Voll that il ca
reach $4,000 a month.
Miners are working in the Peer, Peer
less, Crocker Welden ana Central drifts.
The hand GrIllers are supplemented by
Bur'eigh drills in the Peer, Peerless and
C:ocker workings.
THE PAPAGo CHIEF GROUP.
Here most of the work is in quest IF
''blind ledge" 1t is thought to be
surely there, and If it is what the float"
indicates will be very rich.
1t is at the Cold Mountain mine that
the hidden richness is expected. Two
leGges have been located, ard worked
somewhat, but they are held as small
potatoes compared with the oae CT sUp-
posed great richness between them
The float was from six to niue inches
wide and assayed from s1SC0 to s20G0 to
the ton. Six men are 10 the gully under
the lower ledge. They are tuunellDg
into the mountain and expect to strike
the hidden treasure by going in 225
feet.
On the upper ledge some good ore is
being taken out at the depth Of A feet.
1t is copper stained and some has as
sayed $500 to 800.
At the Uretigo sinki~g of an addition
al twenty feet has been done. The
mine is now down 100 feet. The ledge
increases in width aud richness as depth
is attained. At the surface it measured
eig ght inches At the present depth it is
two and half feet wide. 1t averages
$50 a tor, some going ten times that in
value.
The Great Eastern has been sunk ten
feet, making II nov thirty feet down.

The Las Vegas Optic makes some
very proper reflections in the following
language: "The newsboy who ap-
proaches yo1 on the street and solicits
your patronage, is as much entitled to
polite and conslderate treatment as the
man who wants to sell you stocks,
bonds, dry goods or real estate. He is
commercial agent representing an I'M
portant industry, and the pennies in>
volved in the proposed transaction pos-
sesses as much interest for him rs the
dollars for the man OF larger growth,
besides he is offering, rot luxury, but
a necessity, and what, il you are not,
you ought to be, supplied with. 1t is
due to him, therefore, that he be treat>
ed With kindness and polIteness so long
as he observes the same rule toward you.
and rough threatening language is not
only uncslled for and unjust, but affords
bad example to the young, To say,
"Get out you little scamp" or whatever
you are pleased to call him, is simply
playing bully with boy, and to strike
or misuse one of these little aspIrants
for commercial success is the height Of
brutality. As rule, newsboy are po-
lite to those who treat them politely,
and it is probably poor rule that will
not work both ways"

EVERY established local newspaper
receives subscriptions from large cities
which puzzie the publishers to account
'or, but the New York Times, once ups
on time. threw some light upon 1t 10y
the following: "a wholesale grocer in
this city, who has become rich 1t the
business, says his rule is that when he
-ells bill Of goods or credit, to imme-
dlately subscribe for the local paper Of
his debtor. So long as bis customer
advertised literally and vigorously, he
rested, but as soon as he began to n
tract his advertising space he took the
fact ss evidence that there was tIou5le
ahead, and invariably went for his debt
or. Said he: The man who is too poor
to make his business known is too poor
to do business" The withdrawal of an
advertisement is evidence OF weakness
that business men are slow to act upon.

Taken for a Crank.

A i-fendish delight often seems
TO possess people Of strong nerves in
sneering at those with weak ones. The
irritability of the nervous hypochon-
drIac is ridiculed as natural i'll temper.
The very genuine and distressing symp-
toms from which he suffers are made
light of. "He" or "she is a crank" is
the cheerful sort of sympathy with
which the nervous invalid meets from
the unfeeiIng and the thOughtless. At
the same time no complaint is more de-
fined and real, none has a more easily
explainable origin when it is chronic.

TIE repeal of the alien land law would
be a boon to the southwest rs 1t W uld
enable Arizona to develop her mineral
wealth which now lies hidden in the
hills for want of capital to uncover 1t.
When the bill was first passed it was gen.
orally approved of by the country and
was emphatically endorsed on the max
i'm that america was for Americans"
but the west was destined to soon feel
the effects of this discriminating meas
ure. The alien land law was good enough
in principle but it did not work in prac-
tice. L. stood and still stands, on iron
and impassaple barrier against the de-
velopnent of oLr mineral wealth. which
under free coinage act, will so largely
contribute to the greatness of the future
state. The alien act, in SO far as 1t re-
lates to mine, should be SO modified
that this class of properties can be
opened up and developed by capital,
come from where it may. Foreign
capital is largely in excess Of commercial
demands at home and looks longingly to
the United states for employment, and
We should bid it come instead ot driving
it back by repressive and restrict
i've legislation. No country in the world
offers greater inducements for profitable
returns on financial investment than
Arizona, and no country on earth needs
it more than we do, but so long as the
alien land law stands unmodified on our
statute books SO long must We wait In
vain for relief from that direction. The
press OF the territory should unite on the
issue and dem Ind at least modification
of the Infamous act.

The records of the land Office for the
Gils district, show that the public lands
Of the territory are fast passing to the
hands of private ownership and the long
dreaded deserts OF Arizona will soon be
hidden under the grain 1ields and ORCH
ards OF the new and prosperous state.
During the last quarter, ending Decem-
Der 81, 1891, there was located at the
land Office in this city, 1858 acres of
land, Of which more than 5000 acres
were filed on as homesteads. Every

means an aggregation Of wealth and

A SPECIAL telegram 10 the Denver he
publican, from PIt-sburg, Penn, says
that Paul Hack, of that city. who has a
kennel Of wolf hounds at Greensburg,
received a LEI ter from a number of
planters in a remote section Of New Mex
leo, asking him to send FIVE of his dogs
to that territory. The letter states that
during 1891, 10000 calves and other
cattle were killed 10y wolves, which en-
tailed loss of s1,000.OO0. Every remedy
which the planters have thus far tried
has failed in the extermInatiou of the
pests, and they request Mr. Hack to send
pack of his hounds 20 them In the hope
that through them loss of cattle and
money may be lessened. Mr.. Hack
ordered his keeper at Greensburg to put
five hounds under training for the New
Mexican planters. Mr.. Hack is certain
any one of tie hounds can, singly aud
alone, ctakle and kill the largest and
most vicious wolf.
