THEvEKoL MINE.
The Famous Property Again in the Hands
 of the Walkers.
lTrom the Phoenix Republican,

From the Phoenix Republican,
 Judge Davenport has lately returned from the VeIol mine, which is again being worked with more or less vigor. That it is not lying in the same state of idleness which clothed it for many years during the latter end of John Walkers life and after his death is due entirely to the litigation by which Juana Walker sought to secure her in- terest in her reputed fathers estate. A compromise was at last effected un- der the terms of which she received among other items of the estate, one- third interest in the almost dismantled Vekol. This passed to one of her att torneys, P. B. McCabe, who leased tn e interest of Lucien Walker and opera tions were resumed at the old mine.
 The first of this month, Mir. McCabe sold his share to J. R. Fisher, the fath- CT of Mrs. Walker, and he took the management of the property which for the first time in dozen years is again in undis puted possession of the Walker family. About sixty men are employed in and about the mine. The ore is concentrated and the concen. trates shipped to the smelter at Fl Paso at the ra te of carload week Some of the re is so rich in silver thai it will bear shipment without coneen' tration. A ten-stamp mill is employed in the reduction of the ore. Jack Schulze has the contract for hauling the product to the railroad at Casa Grande, twenyt-two miles.
 The Vekol was unskillfully worked by Mexicans and Indians in the earlier days, so that it is necessarily worked with great difficulty now. It contains what no one would suspect, twenty. eight miles of tunneling, and when operations were resumed on it by Me- Cabe, the first thirty days were spent in the unremunerative business oi taking out the waste. The mine, not withstanding the low price of silver, is being worked at great profit.

MR. c. c. BABE, who has charge of the government work at the Buttes, was in town Thursday. He brought the cheering news that bedrock had been penetrated by the diamond drill, the core showing solid granite, impervious to water. It had been feared that the box canyon between the Buttes was a bottomless rift, upon which foundation for the dam could only be built with great difficulty and expense; but the fact as found by Mir. Babb removes one of the main engineer ing difficulties, and nearly insures the completion of the work by the govern ment

NEVADA CITY presents strong argu- ment in favor of municipal owner ship of water. A correspondent writ ing from that city says: "The city is making money and is making it quite rapidly. City Clerk Carr yesterday afternoon was engaged in computing figures on the water system aud found that during the eleven months that the city has owned the local system it has earned the sum of $7333. Some thing over s25,OOO was paid for the system, and over $3O,OOO has been ex- pended in making it one of the best in the State. The money derived has done much to improve the condition of the streets, walks, etc., and will con tinue to do so"

Wonderful Richness.

; DENVER. Col, Jan. BOA special to the News from Cripple Creek says of recent strike in the Isabella ground:
 Your correspondent saw chunks of sylvanite that were three inches thick and solid metal, and chunks of oxidized ore of the same width that he whittled with his pocket knife. No assays have been made but pieces of free gold ore run over $500, 1000 per ton. The Mollie Gibson never produced any ore that carried more ounces of silver than the Isabella does in gold. With every hours work the streak is lenghthened and widened Some ore is 80 per cent gold.

ONE of the most practical things the legis- lature can do to aid in the reclamation of our arid lands. is to memorabilia Congress to cede all of the arid lands to the Territory. -lTucson Star.
 The TRIBUNE considers this one of the most impractical things the legis- lature could do. If Congress would take the $2O,OOO,OOO which it is pro- posed to give for the Philippine Islands and expend it in building storage reservoirs for the surplus water that annually runs to waste in the arid west, it would be doing something that is practical, and would build up country right at home hundred times more valuable than the Philippines. The government should own the lands and hold them for actual settlers, but should render them habitable by build ,ng water-storage reservoirs.

Annex our Arid Land.
[From the Tucson Star. l

F. Il. Newall, chief of the United Sta tes Photographic survey, thinks it
 wou Id be well to annex some of the vast area of the arid west to the United
 States, especially southern Arizona,
 now that the spirit of annexation seems
 to be uppermost in the minds of Amer
 jeans. These vast arid regions. with
 the finest climate in the world, and
 with the application of water the most productive soil, he thinks ought to re- ceive a little recognition from the United States by way of appropriations for the reclamation of these areas of land, full of vitality and capable of providing homes for millions. Mir. Newall is right The United States should invest some her surplus in the development of these lauds to civiliza- tion and wealth producing in pref erenee to grasping other territory thousands of miles distant. There are thousands of square miles of land in Arizona which could be reclaimed to agriculture and horticulture at a reasonable outlay by the government, which the purchas CTS of this land would gladly repay in the purchase price, which are more valuable as pro ducers of agricultural products than any of the islands recently acquired from Spain. Let our government take a little more interest in our home re- sources while it is reaching out so far and wide. In the words of Newall, let her annex some of the territory within her own borders if she would benefit the American home seekers.

THE Journal Miner says of ssGenerap'

THE Journal-Miner says of "Generap Eagun, who has just been court martialed and dismissed the service for conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman: "He is man of dignifed and apparently aristocratic bearing, and very positive in his opinions, but withal perfect gentleman in his department, and of affable and social manners in his intercourse with his fellow-men." In the gentlemanly and aristocratic language of General Eagan, the TRIBUNE might say Out will not) that "the Journal Miner lies in its throat, in its heart, in it's ears and in its feet" But it can hardly be that the JIM. is authority on the sub ject.

The saloon keepe rs of the territory do not SC em to be falling over each other in scramble to raise sack to defeat the passage of the pro posed bill to prohibit the employment of singers in saloons. In fact, it Eis broadly hinted that no effort will be made to defeat this bill, much less that any money will be paid for it. It is argued that if such bill passes all saloons will be placed on an equal footing and one place will not be com pelled to hire attractions of this kind in order to successfully compete with some other one which does. There is not less than from $l0,000 to sl5,0O0 per annum paid out for this class of help in Prescott alone, and saloons of the county pay about $50,0O0 annually for them.-[Journal-Miner.
