ARIZONA SPRINGS.
The Wild Wierd Tale That Was Told
 in the East.

"Salting mines is not so profitable
 as it formerly was,' said D. H. Barnes of Phoenix, Ariz., at the Metropolitan,
 says the Washington Star" and the men who used to be. engaged in the occupation of selling dry holes by the judicious distribution of a little pay ing quartz have gone into other lines. One of the most remunerative of these mines is in Arizona Probably no other state or territory wants first class mineral springs more than Ari- zona. It seemingly has everything else in abundance, but its springs do not compare with those of New Mex ico. Lately several fine medicinal springs have been discovered One of these I was invited to invest in and, accompanied by several others who were interested, went to the spring.

A VITAL QUESTION.
How Prescott Will Participate in the
 Irrigation Question.

Prescott Journal.Miner: In Decem- Der next the fifth session of the Ma tlonal Irrigation congress will be held 1n Phoenix. Thus far the sessions of this body have been productive of little good in regard to the reclama- ton Of the arid lands by the general government. To. Arizona this is A vital question of importance and one which each day is increasing in it's magnitude. Arizona has reached its utmost limits as an agricultural con- mun1ty 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 of the territory. The time has now come when all classes of citi- zens should join in demanding that the general government shall do it's share in making it's own land inhabitable
 and creating new homes for it's grow ing population. Let government rec lamation be the slogan of the coming irrigation congress and let every citi- zen 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. 4r

Delegates-at-Large.

The Watchman had an admirable
editorial this week on this timely top
ic. After paying deserved tribute
to Senator Proctor and recommending
him for the craftsmanship Of the
delegation, and Col. +. z. Smith as
second delegate, it went on to speak
Of the other delegates as follows:
The Wutchman had the pleasure re-
Gently of suggesting for one Of the
delegates from the east side the name
of Colonel Robert j. Kimball Of Ran
dolph. The suggestion has been re-
ceived with great unanimity on both
sides OF the mountain line. Colonel
Kimball has been through life actively
interested in the welfare OF his native
state. His interest has not been a
matter OF empty words and sentiment,
but of practical works. Vermont has
no more devoted or enthusiastic son.
lie stands for interests somewhat out
side OF those his proposed colleagues
will represent. He has wide &C.
quaintance with men, is close and
intelligent observer of current events,
and acts upon well-informed and
well-trained judgment. He would
make a delegate that would fifty sup
plenent the abilities and experiences
Of his fellow delegates, and one that
would bring credit to Vermont. OF
DR.. Holton Of Brattleboro, another
candidate for delegate-at-large, the
Wdtchman has previously expressed
its favorable judgment.
We are not unaware that Others
have been mentioned in connection
with the office Of delegate, but they
have either declined to be considered
us candidates or do not propose to en-
ter into any contest with gentlemen
earlier in the field. Among these are
Cassius Peck OF Brookfield and Victor
|. Spear of Braintree, both men for
whom the most favorable Judgment
has been rendered, but neither of
whom cares for the responsibilities Of
an office that would take them SO far
away from other important duties and
personal interests at a very busy sea-
son OF the year. The decision Of these
gentlemen not to be candidates is, we
are authoritatively informed, final.
Both are men who are doing remark
ably we'll in state Offices of response
bility, and for whom Vermont will
find at home the higher commissions
that follow the faithful and efficient
performance OF public duty.
The men most prominently before
the people as candidates for delegates
at-large, and who, it is definitely
known, would accept an election, with
MI its burdens and responsibilities, are
Redfield Proctor Of Proctor, Edward
U. Smith Of st. Adams, Robert j.
Of Randolph and Henry D.
Holton OF Brattleboro-all men who
will stand without hitching and whom
It would be unnecessary to shackle
with instructions. An admirable del
sgation, which we believe will be cho-
zen with substantial unanimity.

Still Unhappy.

Our friend Of the Burlington New,
is still unhappy because such COM
munism as the state school and high.
way tax laws can be introduced and
defended in Vermont. 1T shows the
degeneracy and Generalization OF the
times" he plaintively adds. Our
showing Of the extreme need of Sec
tons like Orange county and Of the
happy situation OF cities like Burling-
ton has no effect on his cold heart. He
grants it, but denies that in conse-
quence Burlington should contribute
one penny to its more unfortunate
neighbors. He says that on the same
principle the rich of any community
should bear more than their share Of
taxes. Whether this last proposition
is correct or not, the cases are not at
all similar. The poor communities
are taxed higher than the rich and de-
rive far less advantage from their
taxes. The cities have an interest in
the welfare Of the whole state, as we
have heretofore shown, and this in
terest extends certainly to the degree
Indicated by these laws. Will the
heighbor contend that we of Orange
county have no more claim upon Bur-
lington's plenty than New Zealand
ers or Hottentots? Nothing unrea-
sonable is demanded. The laws raise
only ten cents together and each town
draws back its proportion. The towns
must still raise the bulk of their local
taxes according to their several needs.
What some gain and what others lose
ls in fact a gain for good schools and
highways throughout the state. No
body denies that.
A point often overlooked is that
The large towns get the most pecuniary /
benefit from state expenses. The leg
stature, the courts, musters and the
ike dispense their money among the
more populous places and the back

exciting Ride Of q Party of Government
rra,.,ers on Leech Lake, Minnesota
Among all the modes OF progression
hitherto invented, there is not one ina!
can compare in respect to comfort ana
luxury with travelling in birch bark
canoe.
In the early autumn the writer, IN
company with party of government
officials, the head chief of the Chippewa
Indians and so men of his tribe, met by
appointnent at the Indian agency on
the south shore of Leech lake. Mimi,
preparatory to trip up the lake, thence
IN the river connecting with Lake VIM
nebegoshish, and across the latter TO
a camp of the Winnebegoshish indians.
Leech lake, with its shore line OF 900
miles, is justly considered the most
beautiful in natural scenery Of the
chain Of lakes to be found in northern
Minnesota; but to see it in all its beauty
it is not enough to walk along its shores.
One must ride over it. The RIVER con-
Meeting the two lakes has deep, swift
current, and many dangerous rocks to
avoid, which require both skill and ex-
perjence in navigation. The purty had
been provided with IL canoes and
skilled boatmen, the chief OF the tribe
being the leader. We made all our
preparations and started, the passen-
gers Of the party being prepared TO
enjoy the bouncing over the waters.
We proceeded evenly tor time, but
presently the current quickened per-
ceptibly. The best boatman shifted
his place from the stern to the bow.
Instinctively it was known that there
was hidden danger ahead. The faces
of the men began to glow with excite
ment. Quicker and quicker flowed the
current, breaking into little rapids,
foaming around the rocks, rising in
tumbling waves over the shadows. One
piercing yell from the old chief sent
thrill through every one, like the sud-
den shock of an electric current. He
stood erect in the bow, and at his sig
nal, given by quick wave of the hand,
every man of the crew in all the line OF
boats redoubled his efforts. The paddle
shafts crashed against the gunwale, the
spray flew beneath the bending blades.
The canoes fairly shook, leaping bodily
at every stroke. Ahead was a scething
mass of foam, it's whiteness broken by
black rocks. one touch against whose
sides would rip the boats into tatters.
The chief rose the second time, noting
in that critical moment the line of
deepest water. Then with sharp words
of command to his men, and bending to
his work, he steered straight ahead.
One canoe pitched headlong into space.
Whack, came great wave over the
bow Crash! came another on the side.
Every man of the line shouted with ex
element, as only an Indian knows how
to do.
After the first plunge we were in
n bewldering whirl of waters. With
a shrek of command and quick move
Of the paddle the chief wrenched the
canoe out its course. Another stroke,
another plunge forward and the boat
pitched headlong out Of the swift cur
rent. and soon glided rapidly into still
water.-Chicago Times-Herald.

A LAKE DISCOVERED IN AFRICA.
French Explorers Find n Hitherto I'm
known Body OF Water Near TImbuctoo.

French Explorers Find Hitherto I'm
known Body Of Water Near TImbuctoo.
Although the occupation of Timbuc-
too by the French has not yet added
materially to the volume of France
colonial trade, 1t has unguestionably
added very greatly to our knowledge OF
the geography Of that part Of Africa,
and in particular has resulted in dis.
coyery of singular interest and impor-
lance.
Timbuctoo. as all the world knows,
stands on the boundary line between
the Sahara and the western Soudan, a
little to the north of the great Niger
bend. but what was not known was the
existence in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the city. and lying somewhat to
the west, of series of lakes and
marshes covering large area of coun
Try. These great sheets of water were
tirst seen by the Joffre column and have
since been explored by French officers
stationed in the neighborhood, who
have laid down their general outlines
with some approach to accuracy.
The most important Of these lakes
is called Lake Faguibure. and runs in
q direction, roughly, east and west, its
total length being some 60 or 70 miles.
\ couple Of similar sheets of water
connect with the Niger, and there are
,.Aer lakes in the neighborhood. AS
might be supposed these lakes are the
center of rich agricultural and pas
ioral district. Crops of various kinds
are grown in abundance, and the ma
tives have large flocks and herds. Per-
haps the most curious feature Of the
discovery is the fact that neither Barth
aor DR.. Lac appear to have heard of this
fertile region, and it is to be presumed
that the guides deliberately led them
away from the direction of the lakes.
srhenews of this discovery will 10 doubt
revive the interest in the occupation of
Timbuctoo IN France, where, after the
first enthusiasm was over, there was
marked, tendency to criticise--a ten
'cncy rather strengthened than weak
ened by the recent troubles with the
,'auregs. The results OF observations
on the climate of that part of Africa es-
tablish. it is said, the perfect feasibil-
ity of Europeans living there the whole
year round with certain precautions.
The months of April and May are said
to be the most trying, not only for Eu.
ropeans, but for natives. but December
and January are so cool that great
coat is sometimes welcome, and the
natives report that one year ice formed
at least this is the deduction drawn
from the native statement that 1.-THE
marsh became stone" - Edinburgh
