THE Coolgardie gold mines of Austra- lia are enjoy ing the widest kind of 8 boom. No less, it appears by recent dis- patches, than 120 gold mining companies have been fioated in London and 20OO leases have been flied by Australians. There is craze over stocks and prices are asked which only phenomenal re- turns can justify. It is 8 rich mans camp, and the poor prospector, unless he was in the field early, stands small show. Despite the fact that camel trains are regularly run across the desert, the supply of drinking water is utterly ina dequate, and boring for srtesian water has not been successful. Many prospec- tors have perlshed on the desert, and even in Coolgsrdie itself many deaths occurred from thirst. The mercury at this season rises to 120 in the shade and the heat is made more fierce by the ab. sence of trees. The condition of the camp is so alarming that the government will probably be called on to check the rush of gold seekers until the water supply can be increased.

Give the Farmer Facts.

The average plar ter has but little use for finely spun theory, whether it per tsins to the relation of his condition to politics or whether it deals with the best ways and neans of growing the best crops. What he wants is facts. No one has realized this more than the great seed firm of D. M. Ferry & Co.,, Detroit, Mch., who for forty years have been studying the wants and condition of planters, large and small, and ss 6 result have created the largest seed business in the whole world. Without doubt, a trict adherence to the policy of dealing in facts represents the secret ot their success. They know their seeds are right before they are sent to the many thousand dealers from whom the planter gets them. The dealer knows this to be fact requiring no further question, and the planter finds it to be a substantial fact when harvest time come. Another illustration of the value of this method is found in Ferry's Seed Annual, in which there Is nothing but facts. Facts that prove Of the greatest value to every planter, that can be had from no other source. There are no worthy facts left out, and no unworthy theories let in. This book is sent free to every one who asks for it. A postal card with your name and address sent the firm will bring 1t to you.

THE American Forestry association

THE American Forestry association which recently held its Therteenth an nual convention in Washington, D. O., have been so encouraged by the good work-the preservation of the American forests-as to lead them to believe that the McRae bill which passed the lower house uf congress will also find favor with the senate. With this bill in force the wsnton denudstion of the country of its its timber will happily be put a stop to or at least brought within offici- al jurisdiction. In the convention 1t was resolved "Thst the appalling results of forest fires experienced in many states during the past summer compel the be.ief that the present statutory protection against forest fires in these states is inadequate or negligently applied, and we appeal, therefore, to these ststes, in the interest of their own prosperity and in the name of humanity, to CD act and enforce such legislation as will prevent the recurrence of such serious loss of life and property.

PIMA COUNTY legislators, those who have the interest of Pima county at heart as whole, will have two issues to combat, one the division of the county, the other the removal of the United States district court from Tucson to Tombstone, either of which would be an outrage. County division should come only when a majority of the peo- pie are in favor of that division, and the people of Pima county are almost wholly opposed to such measure. Even the good citizens of Nogales, where the move for the new county comes from, are not united on the subject, as some of its most prominent business men have so informed the writer, and certainly the outlying country from Nogales Is Tn open opposition to it. They were two years ago and nothing has transpired to change their views in that direction. Two years ago an effort was made to re- move the United States court from Tue son to Tombstone, but the good sense of the legislature was against it and we have no reason to believe otherwise of the present body. The idea is ridicu- and DO thinking man will entertain the proposition for @ moment. Tombstop is reached by stage and we regret t. say has a population of but few hundred, wheras Tucson is on the main line of travel and has a population of 1000. Every advantage is in favor of its pres ent location. To be forewarned, how ever, is to be foreRrmed.

the unexpected announcement tb6t they could not take up government land un- der the desert act A year or two ago law WAS enacted by congress that no lard could be taken up under the desert act on surveyed land, the same to go m. to effect on notification from registers of of the land office. The notice never came and land continued to be taken up. Last Thursday the unweloome tidings came from Tucson, to Arizola among other places, that orders had come from Washington putting the law into effect This was a bitter dissp- continent to the Dakota party; the more so because most of them had ex- hausted tLeir rights under the home stead provisions and are no longer eligible to even 160 acres.
 This is a mistake and we will do the land officers credit to say that it never originated with them. The desert land law has not been repealed but is in active force today, ard any public lands surveyed or unsurveyed-subject to this act can be entered under it. Land that will not produce an agricultural crop without artificial irrigation is desert land within the full meaning Of the law, and in this direction the desert lands of Southern Arizona are foremost. Arizola may be said to stand in the center of the Casa Grsnde valley-one of the richest and most productive a0ri- cultural valleys iD the world when re- claimed by irrigation, but without irrig- ation it is a dry and useless waste. It is the heart of the Arid belt itself and subject to entry by any qualified citizen of the country, or one who has declsr ed his intentions to become such.
 The desert land law has had it's modi- fcations and the amount allowed 10 one person under the act cut down, but it has never been repealed and the explsn- ation made in the letter show 8 total lack of knowledge in that direction.

SAYS the Two Republics, City of Mex ico: "The language employed by Presi- dent Cleveland in his annual message to congress regarding Mexico, IS most cordial and should be cause of grati- fication to the Mexican people and to everybody interested in this country. MT. Cleveland is evidently desirious of doing everything ia his power to pro- mote friendship and trade between the two countries. The commerce between the two countries has increased very rapidly within the past few years and it will oubtless be further promoted by the enacted tariff, which either places on the free list or materially reduces the duty on many important Mexican pro- ducts. This has all been brought about, as Mir. Cleveland very truly remarks, with the assistance of 8 commercial treaty, but If 6 treaty of commerce and navigation can strengthen in any way the relations of friendship and commerce now happily existing between the Unit ed States and Mexico, we feel sure that the government of this country will meet that of the United States half way in it's negotiation"

Hunting for Coal.

A party left SoIomonvlile yesterday
 morning to 70 to Bonits Creek and then
 work north seet to the coal fields on the
 San Carlos reservation, in search for fur ther deposits of coal which 1t is believed
 will be found on that route. The party consists of the Me5srs. Reynolds and Long, of the Southern Pacific com pany, G. 5. Fox, civil engineer of the Gila Valley road, and ex Marshal R. H. Paul, of Tucson, who goes along as guide They started from here in a wagon, taking supplies to las. them two week., and they expect to remain that long on this trip. The gentlemen of tn. Southern Pacific are supposed to be experts and will know when they discover anything valuable. Mir. Rey- holds was here year ago and visited the coal fields on the reservation. The discovery of coal in sufficient quantity in this section would rot be only a great bonanza for the railroads but would add materially to tho prosperity of the people of this vslley-.Bulletin.

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA.
Press Bulletin No. Z.
How a Lawn is Made at the Univer-
 sity of Arizona.

sity of Arizona.
 The following from the pen of MT Mark Walker, assistant horticulturis of the agricultural experiment station at Tucson, is very timely:
 cit should be known at the outse tbat we are in possession of peculiar soil on the grounds of the station anC Univerity; it is the ordinary mesa soi of the district, generally about fifteen to eighteen inches deep and charged with caliche, giving a soil the least re. tentive of moisture; this IS also made worse by uniform under stratum of caliche, which varies in depth from three to five feet To overcome the excessive porosity of the soil, we find it necessary to trench and screen for all border and lawn work-for the latter to a depth of twelve to eighteen inches. Alter this we harrow in some we'll rotted manure, roll down firm and level, then SOW, preferably blue grass, at the rate of three bushels to the acre, rake in very lightly, mulch with about two inches of coarse stable manure, then water thoroughly and repeat the watering as the top soil becomes dry. If sown in the spring, the seed should germinate in from four to six weeks, and success will be determined by the treatment given in these weeks. When portions of the lawn fail to germinate we find 1t best to wait till the rest comes up three or four inches, and then transplant what is needed to fill out the ground, in turfs of two or three inches in diameter, giving a mulch of good top dressing around each turf; this method is preferable to resowing the blank spots. When symptoms of exhaustion appear we mulch quite heavily, as we find the excessive sprinkling necessary to keep the lawns up in good color, entails rapid exhaustion of the soil. Rolling and frequent moving are essential to the acquisition of really beautiful lawn. The quality of the blue grass seed should be carefully ascertained, as it is the most generally defective of all grass seeds, and is sometimes utter ly worthless, besides being mixed with seeds of pernicious weeds"

STILL another message on Hawaiian

STILL another message on Hawaiian matters was this week transmitted to congress by Mir. Cleveland, accompanl- ed by batch of correspondence from MT. Willis, U. s. Minister to Hawaii. Great Britain wishes to lease an island belonging to Hawaii, to be used as a station for submarine cable from Canada to Australia, and the Hawaiian govern ment wishes to lease the island, but cannot do so without the consent of the United States, owing to clause in the reciprocity treaty with this govern ment. MT. Cleveland refers the request of Hawaii for a modification of the treaty so the lease can be made to con- gress without positive recommendation, but it IS easily inferred for his language that he fgvors granting it. This is right. If we do not build cable our selves and put Hawaii in touch with the outside world we should not stand in the way of another nation to the d etriment of Hawaii. The United States however ought to build the cable.

THE ONLY HOPE FOR PROSPER
 TTY

It is only in the restoration of bimetal- lism that there is any hope of prosperity for this and other gold-using countries. But it looks as though nothing but the bitter teaching of experience, says the Virginia City Enterprise, would make the people of the east see this. A major ity of them do not study financial ques- tions, taking their views from bankers, who they think are fully informed. They hear but few arguments in favor of bimetallism, and they would not listen if they had chance to hear. But time works many changes, and in the school of experience lessons are taught that are not forgotten. Some day the people will learn that the men whom they now call cranks because tLey sd- vocate a monetary policy which proved successful for thousands of years are right. Some day they will learn that the experiment of gold monometallism which has been tried for but little more than twenty years is the fruitful source of the trouble which has come upon the business world. Some day they will abandon this and all others experiments and return to bimetallism. How long this will take no one can say. But business depression is driving the world to It, surely and rapidly. One of the greatest objections to currency legis- lation at this tune is that it deverts public attention from the real cause of of the trouble. Let the people once have their attention directed in clear way to the relation between bimetallism and prosperity and it will not take them long to decided to return to the deoctrine of the constitution and the fathers of the republic.
