LAS GUIGAS.
Mammoth Gold Belts in the
 Quartz Mountains.
The Grant Group, IT Veins of Free Milling Gold ore; One of the Most Prominent Proper
 ties in Southern
 Arizona.

Las Guigas (quartz mountains) 6e- cause of their peculiar construction are widely known throughout southern Arizona. In general topography they largely resemble other ranges but differ widely in construction in that great quartz bodies lie one upon the other throughout the entire length of the chain. It was this striking feature, impressed upon the minds of early Spanish explorers, that gave these man. moth hills the significant name they now bear.
 Inasmuch ss Las Guiiss are 8 detached group they can hardly be con- sidered spurs of their more towering neighbors in Southern Pima. They lie about 6fty-seven miles south of the an- cient city of Tucson and probably fifteen north of the boundary line of the Mex ican state of Sonora. but intermediate of the two main thoroughfares between the two countries. This fact largely accounts for their isolation although their immense mineralized ribs can be seen by ths traveller for distance of more than twenty miles.
 Wherever the carcass is there will the ravens be. This fact has long made Las Guigas favorite haunt of the gold seeker and the records of his ipquiring pick are everywhere to be met with. In ancient times these ranges were the

Venerable Bell, you gave the knell
To King Georges sway in America,
A hundred years ago and more.
As you journey to the fair have care,
Remember the pitcher that went to the fountain
Many times, at last TO return broken.
You are rather old to be jpnketing
And picncing, for if you are cracked again
There will never be another Liberty Bell.
| Remember, yours is the last voice
Remaining on earth,-
That sounded in the ears of Washington,
Franklin, Jefferson, Handeock,
Charles Carroll of Carrollton
And the rest of the great heroes
| What would Philadelphia be without heI
| Liberty Bell?
Fhen have a care lest you stumble and tumble
And widen lhe crack in yopf back,
Your greatest glory "old Liberty Bell"

''Tiain up child in the way he should go and
when he is old he will not depart from it,
Rev. Mr.. Shaw, pastor of West
Nottingham church preached an
eloquent sermon on last Sunday
morning from the above text. The
difficulty which suggests itself to
this kind of training who is to
determine the "way he should 60"
There is a wide divergence of
opinion on the way, both religious
and secular, and the antagonizing
elements are yearly multiplying.
If we consider only "the way" in
religious matters we find 40 diff
fering-more or descriptions on
the subject in this country alone.
Notwithstanding the text has
great antiquity on its side, and is
claimed to have been inspired by
divine wisdom, and is doubtless in
tended to embrace secular matters
also, which makes "the way' still
a more diversified way, and harder
to exactly determine how the child
shall go under many and varying
circumstances in future years, when
childhood is left behind.
With all due Difference to the
antiquity of this text and the wis
DOM of its promplgator, it is sus,
ceptible Of improvement. In place
of castiron dogma, teach the
children to be analytic thinkers SO
that they may always be able to
choose the right way by their ability
to examine and determine where
the path leads to before entering on
it or believing what others long
since dead may have thought about
it. The living generation is always
able to choose for itself if in its
childh0od aud youth it is taught tC
think, far more competent in most
matters, than the generations which
have passed away. Train the
child or children to be thinkers
rather than automatons mayed by
some body else's ipse dicit.

which is the very best time in the world for thinking most brilliantly of something else-that as my brothers and sisters listened with hungry eager ness to mine own inventions, which were of a poor sort but would do for children younger than myself, might turn my chatter to personal profit. In very short time I established the market. l engaged my brethren to perform certain household tasls-the tasks being far more certain than the performance-which by right of primo geniture devolved upon myself. These duties were at times ineonvenient; ire quently - say, all the time - uneen- genial; and oecasionally-say the rest of the time-irksome.

The prices for ''arrants" varied with the nature of the 1arrantn and of the mile age.

A ghost story in the daytime was as tame and emotionless as fireworks in the sun.9 light.
