PikeyilIe Letter.

Dear Argus:-About II o'clock
last Tuesday night, after Mr.. w. L.
Pike had closed his store and retired
for the night, he was aroused by a
noise outside like the FREEING of pis-
toll cartridges, and on going out he
found that his store had caught fire
on the inside. He Immediately broke
the door down, but the house was SO
full of smoke and fire he could not
go in. Mr.. j. P. Smiths work bell
was rung and oon a large crowd,
both men and women, appeared upon
the scene. The burning house was
between Messrs. Smith, Scott & Co.'S.
store and Mr.. ". Is. Albritton's
dwelling, and it was only by hard
work that they were saved. Mr..
Pixies loss is estimated at about ST.
800, insurance, $1,275. The origin
of the fire is unknown. Mr.. Pike
started in the mercantile business
here about 8 years ago, and by per-
severance and indomitable energy he
had built up a good trade. We
sympathize with him deeply in his
loss.

Love Making Among the Utes.

The Ute Indians have some very interesting customs, for facilitating matrimony, says the Galveston News. They believe in much mar rying and giving in marriage, and quite often the maidens marry for the wealth of ponies, blankets, or government income of the sultor. just like their white sisters for wealth.
 One of the customs peculiar to the Ute tribe is called the "tea dance" In the spring when nature is beginning to don her new appa- rel and the leaf is just budding, the maiden wanders up and down the Ute prairie and hill in search of the sweet-smelling herb that, coming at this time of the year, called the love season, bears a name which translated means love-weed. Hay ing found sufficient quantity she tightens her belt, gathers her shawl around her, and with a joyful face, and feet as fleet as the deer of her own beloved mountains, she returns to her wickiup. She delivers her treasure to old squaws, who by its power, aided by incantations, have won many husbands, and, confident in their matchmaking ability, the maidens leave all to them.
 The seventh night of the new moon after the love weed is found, an immense homemade drum calls the youth of both sexes to the mar riage hall. This drum was former ly the section of a hollow tree with deer skin stretched tightly over 1t. Now an empty cheese box covered with light skin takes its place. The hall itself is some large new wick iup, but of heavy white ducking. It is brightly lighted by the moon and stars shining through the open doorway and by the large fire m the middle of the wickiup. over which is brewing the Hove tea" No chap erons are needed here, so the elders go outside and proceed with the music. Cupid is dangerously near, and the clamor the musicians pro- duce is better appreciated by them than it would be by most of us.
 With these Western beauties every year may be leap year, and the maiden who has long admired at a distance some little-limbed, feet-footed son of the forest may now arise from her tailor position and dip the tin cup in the love DO tion and pass it to her desired one He may accept or reject. If he does the latter on account of having another sweetheart, he of course promises to be a brother to her. All the rest may choose before she has another chance. But some brave may have been captured by hel laughing lips and sparkling eyes and so when the time comes for the men to choose will give her to drink of the magic liquor. Her love l: seldom so lasting that she will not accept tM suitor, and he does not care if he be second choice.
 The music is continued, and tho dancing consists of keeping time tt it by a thousand odd fantastic gy rations, graceful yet wearisome ] The dance lasts three days ano i nights, then all are married.-Ex.

New Gold Fieids.

Reports have been rife here dur ing the past two weeks of the dis covery of wonderful rich placer fields on the lower San Juan river. Like all new discoveries, there is an air of mysterious secrecy about it which prevents an outsider from ob- taining true report of the discov- cry.
 That there is gold in the San Juan river has long been known to prospectors, but whether it exists in the quantity reported by the parties interested in the claims re- mains yet to be proven.
 The discovery as told to Sun re porter was made some six month a6o and was made by John Will jams, an Indian trader living near the San Juan river. He communi- cated his find to other parties and they shortly afterwards commenced to work the claims, which proved to be very rich. Three months ago parties located some two hundred placer claims. This attracted the attention of few outsiders and the discovery could not longer be kept quiet. During the past month pros pectors have been going to the new find and there are now between one hundred and fifty and two hun dred men in the new fields and they are just beginning to go. Las. week several loads of lumber and provisions. left this place for the supposed new Eldorado, and from Winslow lumber and supplies have been going for two weeks past and at least sfty people have left that place during the past week and as many more will leave this week. Flagstaff has caught the contagion and will this week add to the num- Der fifty searchers for gold. The placers are said to extend from the mouth of the San Juan, up the river for a distance of fifty miles. at least locations have been made within that distance, and the claim Is made that all are rich.
 The discovery can be reached from this point by private convey ance, and the distance is about l75 miles; the route is from this place to Tuba City ll0 miles, thence to San Juan 65 miles. There is water along the route and also good camping places, and the route crosses one corner of the Navajo reservation.
 The diggings are about the same distance from Winslow, and the route leads directly across the Maya io reservation, and after leaving the Little Colorado river water is scarce, and the Navajos will not permit white men to cross the reservation without an Indian guide. Private conveyance can be had at either Winslow or Flagstaff to the dig gings. A surveyor is now at the placers and claims are being survey ed, and 1t is highly probable that . rush will be made to these new gold fields.
 The Sun has sent correspondent to the placers and a fuller account will be given in next weeks iesue- -Coconino Sun.

Mining Inteilisancs.

F. B. Jacobs has taken bond on J. C. Hartin's interest in the Last Chance mine, and with J. J, Fisher the other partner, will work the property.
 It is being talked on the quiet by those who should know that Sena- tor Tabor will begin soon after the first of the year to fully develop his mining claims in Arizona. If he does it will make an immense ex- penditure of money among us, be- sides exciting the interest of great deal of foreign capital and perhaps sooner or later inducing its move ment in this country. - Phenix Herald.
 Messrs. Cover & Helm are meet ing with excellent success in the development of the Gladstone mine. The shaft is now 70 feet deep and they have solid body of ore five feet wide. Tue ore is gold sulphurets and is worth about $l00 per ton. A drift, fifty feet in length has been run at the fifty foot level, and shows good ore the entire dis tance. The ore at this point is free milling, but is not of as high grade as the ore at lower depth.
 George W. Sines has decide one third interest in the Petrie mine to A. B. Elilt. This mine is located in the Bradshaw mountains and has acquired a national reputation on account of dream of MT. Ellitt in regard to it, which was recently published in this paper. MT. sEllit, it will de remembered while sick at his home in Kansas dreamed of his brother from whom he had not heard for several years, and supposed him dead. In his dream he located him near Prescott, Arizona, and thought that his occupation was mining Tn the same dream he To- cated a mining claim which con tained fabulously rich ore. On re- covering from his illness he wrote to Prescott and learned that his brother was here, and a month or two ago MT. Ellit and his wife came here for visit. Mir. Sines is a partner of the brother, l.. Ellit, in his mines and on the arrival of the Kansas couple the wonderful dream of wealth was talked over by them. Mir. Ellit of Kansss described the place where the mine of his dream was located and from his descrip- tion of it it was believed to be one of the claims owned by Messrs. Sines and l.. Ellit. It was agreed before going to look for it that should the mine turn out to be located on their ground they would deed A. B. Ellit one-third interest. The Kansas Mir. Ellit went out to the Bradshaw mountains and from his dream alone never having seen the mine ard never having been in a mountain ous country before, showed famil- arity with the country equal to his brother, who had lived there for years. He had no difficulty in locating the claim of his dream and following up the claim came to a large rock where the rich gold had beed seen in his dream. On sinking at the point indicated by him, ore was found going away up in the thousands in gold. It happened that the find was on the Petrie claim and yesterday Mir. Sines made good his word to the dreamer of golden wealth, by executing him a deed as indicated above.

Tn. Camp Verde Reservation.

The efforts which have been made to secure the opening of the Camp Verde military reservation for set clement promises to be successful at an early day. In answer to let ters witten by officers of the Pres colt, Arizona, land office, to Sur veyor General Royal A. Johnson, asking for information in regard to the prospects for an early survey, Mir. Johnson, under date of Decem- Der 2d, writes:
 'The contract for the survey of the Camp Verde military reserva- ton has been let and orders issued for the above named survey, to Uni ted States Deputy Surveyor Daniel Drummond, who will leave here to commence the work in the field on this evenings train. This sur vey will be pushed with all possi- ble dispatch, and according to the estimate of the deputy having the survey in charge, will be completed not later than January 1st, l893,"
 From the above letter, 1t is proba ble that Mir. Drummond is already on the ground and at work making the survey, and if the department will follow up the survey promptly by having it accepted and sold, it may yet be disposed of in time for occupancy and cultivation next season,
