town marshal, no aldermen, no police.
There never was survey of the ground
made for town purposes. Yet they have
built up fine residences. for frontier
settlement; the houses are built in rows
that leave wide and fairly regular
streets; the people lead moral lives and
are iaw-abiding in spirit, though there
are no particular laws for them to
abide by. a stranger in the city would
never suspect that the place was not
fully organized and furnished with all
the modern municipal machinery"

ARTISAN WATER AT BENSON
Strong Flow Reached at Little
 Below 500 Feet.

The problem of artesian water at Benson is a last solved. a good flow of water having been reached Thursday of last week at a depth of 5C0 feet. says the Press. The contractor has gone t. California to attend to a renewal Of his contract. tho original deal calling for 800 feet Thursday afternoon the SOC foot limit was reached and with it came the bottom of the clay strata through which the drill had penetrated more than 400 feet. The next strata was sand. Sinking into this for full meas ure. MT. Williams. the foreman, drilled thirteen inches further and then took ou5 the drill, boarding the train for Tucson at o'clock. Ahout o'clock one of his men returned to the well and found water over the top of the well casing, which stood about a foot above the ground. Friday morning the flow had so increased in strength and volume that it flowed over the top of the casing to height of three or four inches. giving a flow of fifteen n or twenty gallons If water per minute.
 Saturday word came from California to sink the well to a greater depth, to reach another and stronger flow of water. which doubtless will be encOun- tered below. So Saturday the drill was sent down and further sinking com menced. The well casing. following the drill has cut off the flow just devel- oped but it can be tappsd to increasa the flow from below when the latter is reached.
 The value of the demonstration thus made will be to Benson and the sur rounding region. is incalculable. Thou sands of acres of the finest lands in the world lie alcrg the San Pedro river. They San be reclaimed with irrigation from artesian wells, and without doubt will be taken up and so reclaimed.

OUR FINANCIAL sOLIDITY
The United States Becoming the
 Monetary Center.

Time was when Americans in search of capital fer great enterprises. and even ths United States government, foated thcir bonds in London. Less than six years ago the Un.,ed States treasury had to appeal to the patriot ism of our great bankers to keep down theDate of exchans and thus prevent further exports of gold. But times have changed. Now foreign railways are buill and many foreign enterpri5 $ are feared with American capital aad crnd- il. Now, wh. n the British government needs s5O O0O eco for military xpenzeS .n south Africa and China. it offers lis t:lasury bills f-r sale in the Cnitei States.
 Nher the United States a teW years ago lad to sell its bonds for gold to sustain it's whole currency a ! par those bonds had Ito be sold at a discount f"Jn their real worth. Nov the Unit ed Si,ates Is able to refund it's cut staud'rG obligations with new bonds bearing only ? per cent.-Jha lowest in- terest rate ev5r known under the con- ditiCns-and those bonds b",ug 3k Ter cent. premium in the open market. On the. her hand the British gov r-,ment .5 tornrclled to off it's per cent. bonds at per cent. discount land pay the llf chas r bonus of a months un- earned interest. The effacU of these concessions is to make the,British gov ernment pay 32l pr cent. interest, while the United States pays but per cent. The reasons for these chang cd conditions is not far to seek.
 TvIa E.raot gF Df..-as1 -r.. freq ..i1y-- in 1896 with the peoples ratification of the republican policies ot protection and sound money, was notice to all the world that We would honestly pay our debts. It stored confidence at home and abroad in American integrity. Business revived and our foreign trade went up with leaps and bounds. till the world was our debtor.
 The passage of the gold standard law was assurance that evFry American dollar was as good as gold. The war with Spain gave no check to industry, added to the national domain and re- sources, and greatly enhanced our prestige. The American people ar now SO prosp,rous that they have surplus capital to spare fir the developments ot other lands and to supply the needs of for.isn governments. Republican poli- Cies and administration have made the United States prosperous at home and respected abroad and have converted this from a debtor to a creditor na- ton.
 Times have chang indeed when the United States no longer seeks favors in the worlds money markets but grants them. Within he memory of millions
 of living men British gold was lent tc ! cl0the and feed Am rican armies. EoH | American gold is lent to feed and | clothe British armies. British manu- facturers once dominated the world | Now American manufacturers ar steadily increasing while British ex- ports are declining.
