A Tribute to the Memory of a Good Man-RecolIections of Pio-
 neer Samuel Hughes.

| BROTHER PIoNEERs:--We have learn ed through the press of the death of our
 brother, Pioneer Alphonso Lszard in San Francisco, and as one who has known bim long and intimately, I wish to record in our archives my testimony of mournful respect to his memory.
 Mir. Lszard-to all of us generally known as "Frenchie"-wae a native of Alsace, France,-now Germany-and came to the United States in 1852, re- maining in New York city until 1856,
 when he formed copartnership with man whose name now 1 cannot recall, for the establishment of trading posts for Indians in Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado, with headquarters at Fort Leavenworth, and did 8 thriving busi- ness, when in 1857, through the m;s- conduct and embezzlement of his part her, an assignment had to be made. Mr.
 Lazard then took sole charge of the business and managed to pay all the iu- debtedness of the firm, though it left him without a dollar. i
 Ia the spring of 1859 MT. LRzard, in company of Jerre Riordan, started for Arizona, reaching Tucson about August or September. I was then engaged in the butcher business and they pur- chased it from me and conducted it un- til the spring of 1859, when they resold to me. The following June Mir. Lazard and myself became partners in general contracting business, which contin- ued with more or less important tran sections until failing health recently compelled Mir. Lazard to give up all business pursuits.
 When the confederate troops came here in 1862 was compelled to leave, and I turned over to MT. Lazard every ] thing 1 had, telling him that if I did ]

LET THE BOARD OF TRADE RE-
 ORGANIZE.

What shall We do to be saved, not spiritually, as the road Is broad enough in that direction, but financially?
 For the past eight or ten years the cit izens of Tucson have done nothing but play the crab and move backwards from shadows as we'll as substance. True, through the good services of the Tucson Building and Loan association, a num-
 Der of comfortable dwelling houses have been constructed and through indlvld- ual efforts little extra water has been developed op the Santa Cruz and few more acres of land put under cultlva- ton. These things have, however, been but drop in the bucket of our possl- bilities. Basiness has gone from bud to worse and bed rock, never too distant, has apparently risen to meet us, and our next effort will be to try and get through it. This may be a harsh state ment, but the long bow has not has not been drawn.
 At one time we had Board of Trade, but for some cause or other it failed to meet public appreciation and its prom ised usefulness was of short duration. It failed to catch the popular sentiment and after few spgsmodic efforts ceased to exist entirely. But We should not stop here. A Board of Trade, If prouer- ly conducted, can be powerful factor for good. The old Tucson Board of Trade should be again called together for reorganization. This done, matters affecting the vitality of important issues could be considered and ways and means devised by which improvements could be inaugurated, avenues of busi- ness opened up and outside capital at trac;ed in this direction. No fast pace is required to keep up with the times, for under the present national admlnle- tration they are jogging along slow enough, but instead of leggIng behind it behoovss us to forge little ahead.
 The last board of trade tiattened it. | self out over 3 proposition to build hotel-a great sanitarlum-a one-lunged emporium, where the rich of the world were to be given an opportunity to dis pose of their surplus baccilus for the pure oozone of southern Arizona, but the proposition failed to take root and it's resurrection ID the near future Is not anticipated.
 One of the first things for the new board to do will be to look out for shorter road to the Orc Blanco and Ari- vaca countries. This must be done or the trade of that important section will be lost to us entirely. Nogales pulled the county teat to she tune of Sl5OO and built a competing road and IS now the happy poseessor of the Lions share of trade from the gold camps of south western Pima. This if all reports be true can be recovered by Tucson, but to do she must expend a little money and build a road through the Sierritas and thus shorten the route by about 70 miles. Do this and the trade of that country will mostly come back to where it of right belongs.
 If the board does nothing beyond build the road in question, and then dissolvee, it will not have lived m vain. But this one good action accomplished 1t will stimulate it to others-and there are many waiting attention-and Tue son will rise out of the slough of des- pond to which she has fallen.
 Let the board of trade be reorganized.

"JoE" ALEXANDER of Phoenix wss here few days since for the purpose of securing the signatures of the democrat ic central committee to petition to oust Governor Hughes and appoint c. Meyer Zulick in his stead. But the pilgrimage was not wrought of success and Joe went home out his railroad fare for the round trip. Some people never learn. Governor Hughes may not be acceptable to small portion of his party, but Zulick is the sour apple of them all. The people know the fellow too we'll and want none of hlm.

Bur little interest attaches to the Phoenix city election which takes place shortly. A year ago Mark Smith wrote from Washington that the town must go democratic or statehood would go where the woodbine twineth. But 1t went re- publican, SO Mark got disgusted ana came home to stay. As statehood does not hinge on the present issue it is prob able that the citizens will be allowed to vote unRdyisedly.

 THE AMARILLA.

The Prietas is a mine of the past, the Colorado mine of the present, and the Amarlla IS mine of the future. ms property is the talk of halt of Sonora. One old Mexican described its output
 recently as 'oro puro." While It Is
 hardly pure gold it has free gold ID quantities enough to justify its being
 Drlzed as very big thing. For the
 month of Feb-uary It's dividends were $500 share, each share being twenty fourth. The mine pays dividends while
 mill IS being built and its ore IS being
 hauled by ten-mule teams to a neighbor
 ing mill-the Grand Central. So good
 is the ore that guards follow the wagons
 from the mine to the mill to see that
 none of the ore is stolen. The ore Is said to run from S200 to $500 ton. It
 is very free. The width of the ledge is from five to twenty-five feet. It grows
 wider and richer with depth. The dip
 is about 80 degrees. There are three shafts in the property, one down 16o
 feet. A contract has been let for sinkirg shaft 1000 feet. When this is done the Amarillo will probably drain all of the
 water of the district to itself, and there by will solve the vexed water question for that management
 The Amarillas was a blind ledge, parallel to the Colorado, and was locat ed in August 1893, by Pedro Negro, an Italian. The purchaser was Mir. Howell Hines, superintendent of the Colorado Creston, who had 22 shares, John Hines, his brother, 1 share and Robert Stein, share. An engineer in the Colorado had a chance to get partnership in the pro- perty, to the extent of two or three shares, but having no faith i'd It, he withdrew. The price paid for the mine was S5O.0OO. It is said that S2,00O,OO0 was recently refused. A 20.stamp mill, of the Boss process. with amalgamators, pans and settlers, is now being erected. Instead of lumber sheeting it is covered entirely, sides and roof, with corrugated iron roofing. The mill IS not over the shaft, having bucket line of twenty buckets therefrom to the ore bins. About 100 miners are employed m the Amarillo.

THE VERDE MINE.

The Verde is another rich property, running parallel to the other lodges
 The ledge is six feet wide and the ore
 runs $500 to Si00 ton So rich is the ore that 1t is sacked to be brought from
 the mIne to the mill. When 1 was there
 last week the mill was shut down while the pumps at the Creston were being gotten in order.
 The Verde is owned as follows: How ell Hines, 21 shares; Superintendent McGreger, 1 share; John Hines, l share; - Goodwin, 1 share.
 The mill is Huntington with Frue
 vanners, and work about eighteen tons
 a day.
 THE GRAND CENTRAL. The Grand Central mine is another
 rich property, owned by MT. Seymour,
 of England, who came to the camp after
 the Cerro Blanco fiasco. About mile of work has been done in the mine. The
 lowest grade ore is said to be Sl2 per ton. The management is said to be ID
 close straights for water, having been shut down, so far as the Grand Central ore is concerned, for eight months. The mill of ten stamps, is now rented to the
 Amarillo management, who get thelr
 own water. Mir. Seymour IS between
 the ''devil and the deep sea-" ss to sell
 ing the mine or developing water. MINAs PRIETAS. This is the pioneer mine of the dis trict, worked down 500 or 600 feet, at
 which time fire burned out the timber ing. It belongs to New York capital. There IS talk of renewing the work
 there.
 The Santa Cruz is newly opened ledge near the Amsrillas. aud will be
 worked in connection with that mill.
 The whole district is a No. l. The
 mines are worked with American fore
 men and Mexican and Yaqui labor. The
 mIne laborers lose TO opportunity to ap- propriate the "wire' gold to their own
 use. The hollowins out of their candles
 and conceallng gold therein l have al
 ready mentioned. Another trick IS to have bundle of cigarettes. The cigar cites are filled with wire gold. red handkerchief full of rich stuff has been sent out with a car of waste, ln the hope that, the waste being also red, 1t would not be noticed. The handkerchief was
 espied on the dump by the keen eyes of Howell Hines, and investigation brought to light several hundred dollars worth of gold.
 The miners work almost naked, the lower levels being very warm, so they have little chance to smuggle out gold in their clothing.
 The settlements are divided into two towns. Colorado and Minas Prietas. The railroad station is F miles away, and seven stages run between the two points. Sometimes ever with that number of conveyances passengers are left behind. PH.

THE MINES.

The sources of income of that camp are five or six of the best gold mines in the world. And the grand total of them is probably the very best gold camp in the whole world. When ore is so very good that they sack it in the mine just to get it safely to the surface to mill, when the laborers will steal ore and gouge out their candles and fill them with the stuff, when dividends ot $500 share, each share a twenty-fourth, are declared as the result of 8 months run of one mill, and that of ten stamps, then some justification is found for the statement that herein is found probably the best gold camp in the world.
 In the camp are seven mines, the Verde. Oreston, Prietas, Colorado, Ana rillas, Santa Cruz and Grand Central quite an assortment of colors-green, black, red and yellow. They are in all stages, from the Santa Cruz just being opened to the Prietas, no longer worked.

THE COLORADO MINE.

In Sonora they swear by the wealth of the Colorado mine. From that pro- perty more gold has probably been taken than from any mine in Mexico. The output, since the early sos has been 2O,OOO,O0O. Of this S1l 900, GOO has been dividends. Single bars of bullion valued at $40, 900 have been shipped out from the Colorado mill. The ore IS in R l2-foot veln, end varies, from so low grade as to be left in the mine, to the rich stuff, full of "wire" gold that Is worth dollar or more a pound. The average worked IS about S30 ton. The mine is down 65U feet. Five miles of work have been done ID the Colorado. On the upper levels the paying ore is considerably stoped out The richest ore was found in the second and third levels.
 The mill is of 30 stamps. capacity 9O tous day. Not moment is lost from months end to months end at the mill. As continually as possible, days, nights, Sundays and holidays the stamps chew up the ore. The property employs l5O men.

THE CREsToN.

This mine is a confirmation of the Colorado. Here, too, work is down 65O feet. The mine grows richer with depth.
 The ore mills an average of Sl4 ton, and 100 tons day being worked the results are S1400, of which expenses are s475, leaving net profits of 1925 a day. Considerable water, 10000 gallons day,
 is encountered at the lower depths. On the 26th of last month the pumps got out of order and flooded the pumps,
 requiring the placing of new ones to uncover the others. Some rapid work was required. ., The Creston ore is worked at the old Minss Prietas mill The mill IS of 4O stamps, working 100 tons day.

There is general impression that the
high price of bicycles will soon break
down, and that a good one will before
long be purchased for $25 and $50, and
the best for $50. But there are persons
familiar with the trade who hold the opin-
ion that, no matter what may be the result
Of competition among the manufacturers,
the wheels of highest grade will continue
to command something near their present
prices. Perhaps the truth will be found
somewhere between these extremes, and
that first-class wheel will within veal
or two be bought for about $75, which
would undoubtedly leave big profit tc
the manufacturers. The story has beer
renewed, and is said to be confirmed, thai
a syndicate has contracted to put 400, 00(
wheels on the market at $50 each, finding
it can contract for their making at 81 70. 3D.
which would leave a profit of 1880 or
each wheel sold.

The last chapter In the story OF the

prised in the statement of Indian Com

shameful incident. The conduct of the

been beyond reproach. Not a shot was
fired by them, nor did they commit a
single act which could be construed into
a threat of hostility by the most cowardly
