A Great Democrat and Brave Confederate
 Soldier on Pensions.

Hon. Henry Watterson, ofLouisville, Kentucky, broad minded man, con federate soldier of unblemished repute recently visited the soldiers National Home at Dayton, Ohio, and delivered an eloquent address to the manned and disabled Union veterans. Among other things he said:
 II should like to be an autocrat Tor one day. I would double the pension of every one of you. 1 would multi ply institutions of this kind. And in dealing out the benetices of govern ment with no niggardly hand, l would not stop on Mason X Dixon's line.
 "We are not malignant people. We are a race or practical philosophers and each one of us is statesman enough to know that the war is over. We may wish it had never begun. But since that is an idle wish, let us bless God that we are well out of it, and that it lost us no more than it did. You are the honored guests of agrate- ful nation. You have earned on the battlefield all that you enjoy. l re- joice that it is so, and the man who would not rejoice is bad man."

Lieut.. Bryan has an orchard of l2O acres in the upper valley just east of Chaplain Scott's orange orchard that is beauty In it he has some forty acres of apricots, ten acres of almonds ten acres of vines, English walnuts, Tragedy prune, etc. to fill out the acreage named. They were set out two years ago next February and March, and one can scarcely realize the fact. They today look at least four-year old trees so great has been the growth. The English walnut is doing fine SC far as the growth of the tree is concerned and when the proper age has come there is no doubt as to their success in the matter of bearing fruit. Should the English walnut prove even partial success in this valley it will be fortune to many a man, and it will succeed in the upper valley, if it will succeed ill the coun- try, at all.

Gilmore, Bradbury and Loomis are taking out 500-ounce silver ore from the Zero mine, Hassayampa district. They have two and half foot streak of this class of ore. Though but little development work has been done on the claim, there are several carloads of ore in sight, which, even at the low price of silver, is worth about 1900 per ton.
The oasis., 1893-12-14

According to some authorities the great deposits of silver were made by water. That element, percolating through the earth, picked up out of the rocks small particles Of the metal and carried them along in solution. Passing through rocks and cavities, the subterranean currents deposited their loads of metal, and thus after thousands of years pockets and Assures were filled with it. Sometimes these deposits were enormous, as in the case of the "big bonanza which was deposit of ore 300 feet wide and of unknown depth, extending across the famous Comstock lode. It yielded $500 to sl,O00 to the ton. This was pretty rich, considering the fact that the dimensions of a ton of ore are thirteen cubic feet.

While the gold reserve, however, is
intact and the free gold is climbing
the treasury net balance is declining
the stated amount to-day being ST.,

Mysterious Disease.


Mysterious Disease.
NEW YORK, August 3.-The Anchor
Line steamer Karamania arrived this
afternoon from Naples with general
cargo and All steerage passengers
Three passengers died during the voy-
age and were buried at sea, Health
Officer Jenkins has detained the
steamer to determine the cause Of the
deaths, and for examination and disin-
fiction. All the passengers came on
board at Naples. All were well on
board this afternoon.
The Karamania was boarded to night
and the ships doctor asked as to the
cause of the deaths. He positively re-
fused to talk on the subject, even when
informed that suspicion prevailed
that it was Asiatic cholera that had
caused them. He said Health Officer
Jenkins bad his report and could make
it public if he desired. A seaman on
the Karamania said those who had
died had violent diarrhea, but beyond
this he knew nothing as to the cause of
death.
LONDON, August 3.-According to
the Lancet, the well-known English
medical weekly, cholera has become
epidemic in Marseilles for the last three

regarding the real state of affairs. There
have been oor deaths from cholera ii
Marseilles since the middle of May.
A Rome correspondent says; Since
the outbreak of cholera the official re
ports have greatly understated the facts

an S.inch armor plate made for the

BANKS TO PURCHASE BONDS
The New York Institutions Acting In
dependently.

New York, August 2,-Frederick d.
Tappan, president of the Gallatin Ma
tional Bank and chairman of the Clear
ing house loan committee, said to-day
that several large national banks were
going to buy some Of the United States
four,per cent bonds held by the say
ings banks and take out currency against
them. There has been no syndicate
nor concerted action by the Clearing
house banks in the matter" he said,
1t is simply individual action between
the banks, 1t was expected that the
banks buying bonds would get them
for little less than the current market
rate, because if the savings banks were
compelled to put large amount of
their bonds on the open market the
price would certainly be forced down
to 1914 or Io5, and perhaps even less

FALL RIVER Mass, Aug. a.--The
mill situation has reached the strangest
condition ever known in the history OF
the local cotton industry. This morn
ing several treasurers of mills received
notices from banks that there was diff.
Guilty in paying checks in currency
Substantially the notices say the
banks will hereafter honor no check,
in money, but will endeavor as far as
possible to take care of deposits already
made. The effect of this action will be-
widespread and may call for the tota
suspension of operations on the part o
the mills. The treasurers receiving
checks daily from Boston, New Yorl
and Philadelphia will find them of nj
value in procuring currency to pa,
wages.
