Captain F.. Moss, VI hO has iurt re- turned to London from the Trans vaal. tells the story of the monkeys who werk for him in the mines. "l have twenty-four monkeys he said, employed about my mines. They do the work of seven abled- bodied men, and it is no reflection upon the human laborers to say that they do a class of work a man cannot do as we'll as they. In many instances they lend valuable Aid where s man Is useless. They gather up all the small pieces of quartz that would be passed unnoticed by the work ingmen, and pile them up in little heaps that can easily be gathered up in shovel and thrown in the mill. They are exceedingly adept at catching the little particles, and their sharp eyes never escape the very things that the human eyes would pass over. When l went dig ging gold I had two monkeys that were exceedingly interesting pets They were constantly following me about the mines, and one day l mo- ticed that they were busily engaged m gathering up little bits of quartz and putting them in piles. They seemed to enjoy ths labor very much, and would So to The mines every morning and work there dur ing the day. It did not take me long to learn their value as laborers and l decided to procure more. So l immediately procured a number, and now have two dozen working daily in and about the mines, IL is exceedingly interesting to watch my two pet monkeys teach the new ones how to work, and still stranger to see how the new corners take to it. They work just as they please, sometimes going down m the mines when they have cleared up all the debris on the outside. The live and work together without quarreling any more thon meRdo. They are quiet methodicol in their habits, and go tO work and finish up m the same manner as human beings would do under similar circum- stances

In December next the fifth session of the National Irrigation Congress will be held in Phsnix. Thus far the sessions of this body have been productive of little good in regard to the reclamation of the arid lands by the general govern ment. To Arizona this Is a vital question of importance and one which each day is increasing in Its magnitude. Arizona has reached its utmost limits as an agricultural community without an increased water supply. The danger line is already hazardously close in every irrigated district in the territory, and every new settler adds to the probability of water famines which may bring ruin to the best parts O the territory. The time has now come when all classes of citizens should join in demanding that the general government shall do its share in making its own land habit able, and creating new homes for its growing population. Let gov ernmeRt reclamation be the slogan of the coming irrigation congress, and let every citizen of Arizona combine to make it so. In Yavapai county alone there are over two million acres of land that would be made productive under such a policy.

A story of suffering and death on the desert comes to us from Capt. Charles GTaeey, by way of Fl Do rado Canyon. 4 young tsnderfoOt recently arrived at the canyon from the east and, having heard of the tropical heat of the desert, had pro- vided himself with patent refriger- ating headgear He was an euthu- siastic prospector and few days af- ter his arrival in camp an exPedi- tion into the desert was formed and he accompanied it. Being young and a good walker he was allowed to go ahead to locate camping place and wateEholes. The second day out was one of the hottest ever eX- perienced on the desert country and the old miners moved along slowly, not caring to take chances in the frizzling heat of the sun. The young man wearing hls refrigerator hat seemed not in the least concerned with the sun heat, but seemed cool and comfortable. This hat was in the shape of small metallic tank with a pipe running through the center. The sides came down in the shape of an ordinary hat and an in- side band, like that in a cork hat kept free circulation of air around the head and escaped up through the pipe in top. This was all GOV cred with cloth and the tank on top filled with water Many pieces of cloth were made to syphon the wa ter from the tank on to the face of the wearer in cooling drops. Hotter and hotter becomes the day, but the young man pressed manfully on and was soon lost to view. As the shsd
 ows heightened across the desert they found him, but he was dead. His poor form was leaning against a rock and great icicles hung from his chin and his head encased in a mass of ice. The rapid evaporation of water caused by the intense glare of the sun had congeaied 1t and the teuderfoct had met an awful death,

WHY NOT TELLER.

There is consistency in all things, even in politics. This being so and as it is now an indisputed fact that the monetary question Is to be the only issue before the American peo- from a democratic standpoint, this party should select, accordingly, one whose fidelity and ability to the cause of silver should be unques- tioned. Not alone should the dem ocrstic party handle MT. Teller as its nominee, but the populists should fall into line gracefully in the same fight. To both of these parties and their principles of relief to Americans, there is but one ques- ton and that is in the cause of the white metal. The mere mention of Teller's name yesterday in Chicago evoked tremendous applause. This fact demonstrated his popularity, and hls ability as capable to cham pion any cause attached to silver. But, will either party fol. low the Coloradani Probably not. for in the ranks of both parties there is more selfshness for men Father than prosperity for all, greed even in defeat rather than success to the cause, and worse than all, democracy and populism must ruin the country from within its own ranks before they will step into field and select a man they at heart know is perfect aud capable to champion their causes.

An associated press telegram from

An associated press telegram from Chicago to our contemporary says: The executive committee of the gold standard democrats of Illinois met in a protracted session today and prepared an address to the demo cracy of other states Of the Union It was the unanimous opinion oi the committee that a second national convention should be called to nom- mate candidates for president and vice president. The address says in parl: Sound money democrats owe 1t to the country to make it certain at once that their revolt against free silver is determined and will be or. ganiZed. It Is unfair to the credit of the nation and to the business interests of the country, to have to merely guess what sound money dem, ocrsts will do ia November"

Leroy Smith will shortly under take very difficult task to make the mining resources of this county better known and more systemati- cally advertised than ever before. He has adopted the directory sys- tenn and expects to include the work in size to cover about 120 pages. In compiling the data for this work, every mine and every known owner of the same will be given, together with a description of the same. The book will be by districts, and in addition to men tion of mines, will contain an ex- haustive description of Yavapai's principal industry. The work in tended by Mir. Smith is one of para mount interest and it IS one also that will be of more direct benefit to mines and miners than any other channel can handle. Several thous- and books will be printed and their sale and distribution will be by sub- scription at a very low figure.

Mark Smith is the democratic national committeeman for Arizona, and this Is ss far as he will ever get, is the unanimous opinion of many honest and common men of his party in these parts. So manifest IS the feeling to-day among several of our democratic friends against bossism, there are many who do not even approve of this last sslec- ton.
 The Is one good feature of the democratic convention. The iron handed bosses of the party were set down ou. Now let the same chain tightening strike the boss rule in the Arizona following and smash between the eyes such rulers as Mark Smith X Co, and give plain every day men as W. A. Rowe a chance to breathe occasionally. Even as a republican We say down with the tyranical muzzlers and up with the deserving and the honest laborers.
 Eight out of nine republican na- tional executive committee men have been selected as follows: NJ. 4. Hanna, chairman, Cleveland; Will jam M. Osborne. secretary, Boston; Gen. Powell Clayton, Arkansas; Charles q. Dawes, Illinois; W. T. Durbin. Indiana; Cyrus Leland, Kansas; Joseph II. Manley, Maine; Hon. NJ. :. Quay, Pennsylvania; H. (. Payne, Wisconsin; \. D.

railroad. narrow gauged affair owned

railroad. . narrow gauged affair owned by Scotch company, and ran to its terminus, 64 miles. travelling the en- tire distance through denss tropical forests to La Vega.
 We were at La Vega 25 miles from Santiago, obliged to go to Moca and Java Nuez, respectively twelve and twentydour miles, the entire distance was "loblolly" of mud and water, but our little Arabian ponies were equal to the occasion. These roads are the most horrible We have ever seen; we were covered from head to foot with g coating of mud.
 From La Vega we were again obliged to go horseback to Alta Mira. 2S miles at the terminus of the Domiu- ican railroad, thirty miles from this port. We passed the entire distance through a dense forest, passing down the fsQui river, one of the most beau tiful streams we ever looked upon its banks lined with waving palms and covered with 6 carpet of fresh green grass and its waters cool and clear as crystal, passing over a rocky bed.
 On tine Dominican railroad we found many Americans. The original own CTS Cf this road were French, but it has lately been purchased by New York capitalists and is rapidly being pushed along to the interior with its terminus at the city of Snn," Domin- 90 on the south side Of the island.
 This island is rich in the pro luc- tion of coffee, cocoa, bananas, sugar, tobacco and logwood, the latter bring ing 80 per ton in New York. Nearly the entire island is productive.
