AFTER ARTESIAN WATER
Success of Drillers Near the Graham
Mountains.

Success of Drillers Near the Graham
Mountains.
For some time efforts have been
made to obtain artesian water IN
the San Simon plains east of the
Graham mountains. Recently a
number of wells have been sunk
with good success and there is one
well in that district which is said
to have flow of $1,000 gallons ev-
cry twenty-four hours.
Professor Forbes has just return
ed from a visit to the San Simon
country and the upper ella. He
says that artesian water has also
been secured in some places on the
upper Gila, close to the foothills,
where the ranchers hope to make
profitable ranch homes. The prox.
unity to the mountains adds to the
value of the location for the pro-
duction of early vegetables and
fruits. The raising of watermel
ons in the Arizona valleys has be.
come an important industry, and
the ranohers of the Gila hope TO
get their melons on the market
several weeks earlier than others
less favorably located.-Citisen.

what suuerainty ID.

In speech delivered at Urbroath,
Scotland, on September S last john
Morley, the great liberal leader, said:
"And this brings me to the word suzer-
ainty. 1t is said that we have suzer-
aipty over the South African republic.
Sir Alfred Miner said there is nothing
in this controversy as to whether we
have suzeraipty or not-nothing ma
terial. My own view of suzerainty is
that it is word which nobody OF
course can define, but it has got favor
of sovereignty in it, and yet it is not
sovereignty; and that the Beers hate
the word because it has got that flavor
in it, and the war party in the Cape and
in other places like the word because
they hope to impart into it something
OF another which may enable them un.

Death of a Carrier Pigeon.

Powder Explosion,

w. j. Webber met with a pain
ful injury at the Old Dominion
rock quarry yesterday. He had
spitted several holes and as he
turned to walk away, carrying q
box containing four sticks OF
powder, spark from the burning
fuse evidently lodged IN the box.
Discovering that the powder he
was carrying had ignited, Webber
dropped the box and the powder
exploded at his feet. His right
leg and foot were lacerated, there
being four severe wounds, one of
which required several stitches. A
cut on the lip also bad to be stitch,
ed, and small particles of rock
were blown into his eyes, but no
injury to the sight will result

JEFFERSON DAVIS HOME.
House That the Famous southerner
Built and Lived In when an
Army Oaacer.

AT Fort Gibson, Indian territory, one
of Uncle Sans deserted army posts,
stands two-story house, part frame
and part log, that was for time the
most pretentious residence in the ra-
dius of 500 miles, but now stands de-
serted by all save bats and Owls ana
now and then a stray hoot OWL Whose
dismal and lonesome cry only brings
back long forgotten memories OF what
this house has been, says an eNchange'
The house was built in lS4S by Jener'
son Davis, ex-president of the southern
confederacy, who at that time was an
officer in the United States army. IL
was here that Davis was in the zenith OF
his glory as a defender of the United
States flag. It was here that Davis
then lieutenant, fell in love with'
wooed and won his wife, the daughter
of Gen. Taylor.
The post was q wild and woolly spot
in those days. 1t was the only trao1ng
poin! for miles around, and was lnfest-
ed with gamblers, desperadoes, Indian
traders, fugitiyes from justice IN the
| states, with now and then gang OF
cowboys, who would come in to tie
post to get red eye" and incidentally
shootup thetowna and anything and any
body who objected to them shooting up
the town. Here in the shadow almost
of the post have arisen and thrived such
desperadoes as the James gang, the
Daltons, the STAIRS, Cherokee Bill, etc.
who terrorized the country for so long
until civilization and the farmers
cleaned them out.
This old house has seen many stir
ring times; il has sheltered many fail
women and brave men, and if it had
tongue it could doubtless tell many
state secrets, as well as many interest
ing stories Of the early days of the In
dian territory The post was destroyed
in 1892, and now only a few ouilding'
stand where there was once thriving
post of several thousand souls, ant
where the deer and turkey used to roam
in the broad prairie, almost in pisto
shot of this house, are neat and coz.
farmhouse, surrounded with peace ant
plenty. Such is the passing Of the "wii'
and woolly" days IN the Indian terri
tory.-Chicago Evening News.

GOLD STANDARD BILL PASSED.

The senate yesterday passed the
financial bill, 46 to 30, after adding
the hypocritical international BIZ
metalism amendment submitted by
the committee and rejecting that
of Senator Teller covering the
same phase, but which meant ex-
actly what it said says the Los An,
geles Herald.
The measure is intended to fas.
ten the single gold standard upon
the American people, and its pur-
pose was plainly revealed by the
debate and by the vote on the am
endments, as well as by the final
ballot. Senator Wolcott who de-
clared four years ago that there
was "no sacrifice he would not
make to secure the free coinage OF
silver" voted with the gold bugs
so did Carter, Hansbrough and
Shoup, who were bimetallists until
they we're forced to decide be
tween party and principle. Sena
tor Chandler was the only Repub
lican who voted against the bill
The Republican orators and or
gans will point deceitfully to tn
international bimetallsm clause 0
the bill as evidence of their senti
ments and intentions with respec
to silver; but after the experienc
, of the past four years they are no
likely to deceive the people to an.
great extent. In the course o
their hypocrisy it will also be nee
essary for the Republican apolc
. gists to declare that silver is dead
but, as Colonel Bryan remarked i
: his recent speech in New Yorh
if the silver question is a dead ii
sue, why was it necessary to insei
f In the financial bill clause pre-
vidlng that nothing in it sboul
} be construed as preventing futur

with foreign nations to put gol

THE STATIONERY
THAT A MAN USES

One of the truest truths is the
one "that the stationery man
uses is the index to the man." A
man of high ideals will not, under
any circumstances, use common
stationery. There are few people,
but the moment q letter is opened
or o statement of account, or check
is received, will the first thing
notice the kind of printing tolerat-
ed and the kind of stationery used.

druggist 10 California the other

ing of a drug store in. Williams.
His letter was written on one OF

STORIES FROM NOME.

1t is too soon vet to conclude that the
Nome gold fields are failure. The dis
couragng reports now coming from that
country are not a surprise to those familiar
with gold stampedes, and have been ex-
pected from the beginI ing. A gold country
is like anv other, can be over done. OF
course, placer mining country is capable
Of more rapid development than coun-
try adopted to other purposes, but 1t can
not be simultaneously transferred into a
profitable producing proposition to as many
people as NAV desire to 20 there.
MANY will remember the "hungry hole
Of help stories that were for MANY months
the chief refrain from Dawson correspond
ents. But these were followed by the
stories of a SIC. ooo. 900 clean up. The same
doubtful stories come from Atlin, and 1t
has been the same with every mining camp
In the west.
1t is probable that there never will be
room in Nome for such crowd as has
been dumped off the shores OF Norton
SOUND this summer, vet 1t may prove to be
one of the best camps in the north. There
has never yet been mining camp of i'm
portance that would stand the test of hav-
ing its population multiplied by ten during
the second wear of its existence satsfac-
torily to all of those going to it.
It is too early to pass judgment upon the
merits of Nome as mining center. The
reports of next fall will be more reliable
than those now being received, and those
from year from next fall still more so.
