The recent visit Of the editor of the JoURNAL- MINER to Camp Verde was the first one ever taken by him to that place. While he had heard Of the richness and extent Of that valley, the realities of tt and its pos abilities are even greater than had been pictured by him ID his mind. Going via Jerome and then traver- sing the valley the ent,re distance gave a pretty correc, idea of its vast ness. as we'll as of I,s fertility. The stream is dotted with prosperous ranches the entire distance, but there are thousands of acres ot virgin soil yet in the valley only awaiting a more extensive system of irrigation to make IL equally as productive as that now under cultivation. The ranches in the immediate vicinity of the old military camp look partic- ularly we'll with their fields of corn aud alfalfs, while the people there were found most hospiJable and pos sessed ot pardonable pride in the valley. While the visit was pri- marily one of business, 1t was also one of great pleasure.

 states Troops RsssraLaE from ahe Wer.

Among the troops returning form the new territories added to the United States by the Spanish war many have un- consciously acquired a new trick of ges- ture, says the New York Tribune. Ask anyone in this part of the world to beckon to distant person to come nearer. and the sign will be made by extending the arm forward. palm up- ward, three fingers fiexed into the palm and the index finger moved back and forth. Neither in the new eastern nor the new western possessions does that signal mean -oome here;" as a matter of fact it has not that meaning among the American Indians The northern races of Europe are almost the only peo- pie who employ the sign in that sense. and with them it may be regarded as but hand dialect All over the rest Of the world ''come here" is made by ex- tending the arm rigidly before the body, palm facing forward and the four fingers sharply extending and texed back into the palm several times. Every soldier of the armies of occupa- ton who comes in contact with the Spaniarls and the native races is bound to acquire the new gesture and to bring 1t home with him
