ARIZONA is fortunate in having secured the services of General J. F. Wilson. He will represent us in Con- gress honestly and ably, and his heart Is in his work. His best efforts will be made to secure appropriations for the building of the Buttes reservoir, as he recognizes the fact that this great work is q necessity in civilizing the four thousand Pima aud Maricopa In- dians on the Sacaton reservation, who are now on the verge of starvation through lack of water to irrigate their crops. If the Government does not come to their relief they will be com pelled to steal or starve. The General will make it plain to Congress that the honest and manly course to pursue would be to furnish the Indians with water in order that they may become sulf-supporting and independent. Water is the greatest civilizing agent known to man.

THE late George Hearst bought the Washington mine in 1880 for $40, ,000, but afterwards abandoned it, as the amount of silver in the ore was not sufficient to pay, and everybody was then mining for silver. Large bodies of what was called "mundic" were encountered, and this was thrown over the dump as worthless. It has since been shown that this 'mundic" carries l5 per cent copper, and it was as copper mine that it was sold the other day to Denver capitalists for sl20, ,0J0. After the property was abandoned by Mir. Hearst it was relocated by Frank Olsen and Jerry Nevill as the Pride of the West, and it is now shipping forty tons of ore daily at big profit. The mine is in Washington Camp, which is named after it. Thus it will be seen that even such successful mining man as George Hearst, who died worth ten millions, occasionally made mis- take. Yet he once told the writer, who was well acquainted with him, that if one mine in ten that he bought wes a good one he was perfectly satisfied.

IN the current issue of Harper's Weekly there is an article by Julian Ralph that throws some light on the question of salaries paid to our foreign ambassadors. Mir. Ralph shows that several of our eonsuls who receive very small salaries hold positions with the Standard Oil Company, which of course pays them very well and enables them to live in a manner suitable to their dignity.

The Pride of the West Mine.

CRIrENDEN, ARIz.. May S.-[Special Correspondence vf The Republican + The Patagonia is n new district whi ch is coming to the front and beg inning to attract attention. It is loc ated twenty-two miles southeast oi Crittenden and eighteen miles east of Nogales in the Patagonia noun tains of Santa Cruz county. While this is not virgin district in strict sense of the term, it is, however, new as metal producing region, and one which gives promise of expanding in importance as development progresses upon the mines which do not give in- dications of worth
 Among the mining properties here which attract the attention of visitors is the Pride of the West, which was located on June l, 1894, by J. Nevill and Frank Olson. A few years ago N. A. Chapin purchased oue-foarth iu : terest in the property. On April of this year A. w. Wiley and Emerson Gee purchased the Pride of the West and at the present time they are ship ping forty tons of ore every day to the Silver City reduction works and em- ploying fifty men in the mine. In the past four months 420 tons of ore, av eraging in value thirteen per cent cop per, have been produced. During the existence of the mine l2,0)9 toas are credited to 1t, the shelter returns showing average values in copper of Il per cent, twelve ounces of silver to the ton and small values in gold.
 The vein is contained in a contact with granite on the hanging wall and foot wall of lime. On the hanging wall there is heavy streak of sul- phide of copper which has width of ten feet. Adjoining this toward the foot wall is found twelve feet of ore that carries about thirty ounces in sil- yer, per cent copper and 12 per cent lead. The deepest workings of the Pride of the West tap the ore body at 180 feet, the dip of the vein being 45 degrees to the west. There are fully 120,000 tons of ore in sight with the present state of development.

[Jif the government sees fit to build the Buttes reservoir it will open up an immense area of aricultural land south and west of Florence. The time has come when the building of this reservoir is an absolute necessity. The Indians on the Sacaton agency are without water, and less grain will be raised by them this year than ever before. Col. Wilson will make a strenuous effort in congress for an ap- propriation for this purpose. and his efforts will be closely watched by all Arizona.-[ Bulletin.

WHILE the TRIBUNE is hard at work in the interest of Florence and Pinal county there are half dozen creatures trying their level best to "down" il ; but the great mass of the people ap- preciate the efforts of this paper and are its warm supporters. hence it can afford to regard with complacency the futile efforts of it's few enemies. In fact, it rather enjoys having such enemies, but fails to understand why their small minds cannot comprehend that the TRIBUNE is working for the best interests of every citizen of the county-even of these small-minded creatures.

In commenting upon the published
interview of Senator Warren, republi
can, of Wyoming, Senator Heitfeld,
populist, of Idaho, says: II observe
that nearly all the republican congress
men west of the Mississippi river hedge
on the money question when you ask
them whether or not they are in favor
of the passage of law esta blishiDg the
absolute single gold standard. They
advocate the present law, and my idea
is that they are afraid to take any def
mite action, although they presistently
insist that the far western republicans
are in line with the eastern republicans
on the currency question. 1t will be q
most puzzling thing for the party in
power TO deal with, and there is apt to
be lively fight when the next Con
gress convenes." Senator Heitfeld says
the sentiment in Idaho is strong among
the average man for expansion, but
strange to relate considerable per
centage of the straightout republicans
are beginning to find fault with the al
ministration policy.
Senator Davis, who is now here, says
it is highly probable an extra session OF
Congress may be called to meet the
first OF November, and that there are
good reasons why there should be, as
good deal OF necessary legislation is
requisite 1t is already proposed to in.
crease the regular army to the strength
OF two hundred thousand men. which
will OF course provoke a long debate,
and as long one will be caused by the
attempt that will be made to amend
the currency laws. 10 reference to the

tee of'the next, will be composed chief
