MADISON, WIS, Aug. 1.
The Assembly of 1901 is over. The
two attractive cards for the last day
were Senator Tllman of Kentucky
and Capt. Hohson of Merrimac fame.
Taken as n whole the Assembly of
this year was not up to the standard
of previous years, either in finances
or enthusiasm. The number of camp
ers this year WAS an increase over
last year. but there was n decrease in
the transient attendance.

A Sadly Stricken Family.

Hollandale Review: Osmund Os-
of Primrose. Dane equity,
died few weeks ago after three or
four days sickness. Hardly a week
had passed when his brother-in law
was called to the beyond. Sunday
night following their house burned
and Mrs. Osmundson and grand
child persisted in the flames. Two
children were left, both OF them bad
ly burned. 1t seems lady and her
children were visiting there and all
slept up stairs. She threw the chill
dren out of window and jumped
after them. The inference Is that
Mrs. Osmundson went down the
stairway and was overcome with
heat and smoke. She was sister to
Halvar Gordon Of Moscow.

AFTER sIxrv.rmREE YEARS.

In 1888, a young man OF 33 wears.
accompanied by his wife OF az, came
by the tedious processes then availa-
BILE, from the Empire state to make
their home in the then little known
territory Of Wisconsin,. They locas-
ed on tract OF land about 10 miles
east OF the mining village OF Mineral
Point, aud together bravely began
the work OF making the wilderness to
bloom, theirs being one Of but three
habitatiOns in a stretch OF 10 miles
OF prairie and wood, the others being
those OF Joseph Gribble and John
Riley.
The yonng man taught school some
during q @ winters, and faithfully
they both labored for IA years, brave
ly meeting the trials and hardships
Of pioneer life. At the end of that
time, owing to low prices for their
farm products, they found them
selves but little better off than when
they came hese, and decided to try
some other field. Accordingly. In the
spring of 1862, they sold their hold
ings here, and started overland for
the distant territory Of Oregon. There
they renewed the work OF y pioneer
life, undaunted by past experiences,
and 1t is IA pleasure to know that their
pluck, perseverance, and industry
were not unrewarded. Prosperity
crowned their efforts, and in few
years they had secured a competence,
and with health unimpaired, have
since enjoyed the fruits of their en-
terprse, living comfortably and leis-
urly at the pleasant little city of The
majestic Columbia river.
Since retiring from activity they
have travelled considerably, visited
the Worlds Fair at Chicago in 1893 /;
the exposition at Omaha later, and
their native state, New York. This
year, when they are respectively 50
and n years of age, this remarkable
couple have again made the trip
across the continent, spent two weeks
at the American exposition in
Buffalo, and visited ut other places
including brief visit at Mineral
Point and "A trip in n buggy from here
to their old farm and the village Of
Hollandale and return in one day.
Now, who are they? Why none
other than Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac \
Sargent. They found but few re-
naming of the friends and acquaint-
ances they left here 80 years ago. OF
the favored few they met were Mrs
VIM Robinson of Hollandale. Mrs
Jos. Gribble and Miss Mary Riley, OF
Waldwick, Mrs, F. f. Phillips, Mr.
Samuel Jeukin, and Mr.. and Mrs, w
III. Bennett, of this city. Mrs. Sar-
gent IL an aunt to Mrs. Isaac Steph-
ensou of Marinette, and before com
inc here they had spent two week.
ut the home Of their millionaire rela
tive. From here they went to visi
friends at Waukesha. they will re
turn home by way III son Francisco
The remarkable mental and physical
vigor OF this aged couple is wondel
and JOY to all their friends.

 UNDOUBTEDLY the first work in irrigation which the government should undertake Is the construction of dam on the Gila River at San Carlos, in Arizona, because this im- proyement would not only bring under cul- tiyation large area of arid land for the use of white settlers, but would also relieve the urgent needs of thousands of friendly Indians. who are now in a starving condi- tion because the water upon which they have been dependent for centuries has been diverted by white settlers above them. This improvement would be not only a strilx- ing object lesson of the advantage of irriga- ton on a large scale, but also an act of mercy and justiee.-lLos Angeles Times Editorial. Feb. 12, 1901.

THE El Paso Times takes the fol- lowing sensible view of statehood for the territories: "The reason why the President did not recommend statehood for the territories is pretty evident. The jealousies and enmities that were aroused by territorial governors who acted as if they were kings in their realm, has so divided the Rebublican party in the territories that the Re publican congressman believes Demo- crats would win in the case of each of the three applicants for statehood. 50 politics again clouds the prospect for new states. When such partisan as Senator Elkins declares that he cannot favor admission of New Mexico while the territorial party is split, it would have been useless for the President to recommend statehood. Doubtless it is the intention of Roosevelt, if possible, to brush aside unfit men in the terri tories and put in office those who will not build up personal bulwarks. and divide the party in doing so. Then
 with new regime and harmony state hood may come."

As result of the construction of the San Carlos dam, Florence will become the most important city in the terri tory. Conservative estimates place the population of this valley at not less than 40,000 within twelve months after the completion of the reservoir. The recent action of the Secretary of the Interior in withdrawing from entry all the vacant agricultural lands in this valley would indicate that department officials consider the building of the dam by the government as assured. Now is the time to get in on the ground floor.

THE desert country of Arizona offers wonderful inducements this winter to the prospector, says the Mohave Miner. Along the Colorado river there are mountain ranges that are impossible to get into in the summer time and all these mountains are ribbed with ore bearing veins of gold, silver and cop per. The springs that usually go dry in the summer will for several months to come furnish water for camp use, and enable the prospector to penetrate the heart of the mountain in search of the precious and base metals. Out in the desert the small buttes are often found to be ore bearing and these can also be prospected with safety The winter months are mild, no storms in terfering with the work of the search CT after wealth

The Troy and Manhatton Mines.

From the Globe Silver Belt.
 c. H Cutting, general manager of the Troy Copper company and super intendent of the Manhatton Copper company, at Troy, was visitor to Globe during the past week Mir. Cut ting informed us that work is being continued, with force of about 100 men on both properties, with the re- suit of favorable ore ind ications in most of the openings, and ore bodies opened in the Copper Queen mines on the Manhatton, and the Alice mine on the Troy.
 An order has been placed by the Troy company for two 40-horse-power boilers, steam hoist to replace the gasoline hoist (which will be trans ferred to the Sisson shaft on the Man hatton,) compressor and machine drills, together with pumping plant.
 The Msnhatton company has also placed an order for a 40-horse-power boiler, compressor and machine drills, to be placed at the Sisson shaft.
 The erection of smelter will be considered early in the coming year.
 Surface improvements in the shape of roads, to be afterwards utilized for tramroads, connecting the east end of the Manhatton property and the west end of the Troy property with the proposed smelter site, are being car ried forward as fast as possible.
 Mir. Cutting has used excellent judg- ment in developing the Troy and Man hatton properties, and he has been ably assisted by Thos. Kavanaugh, foreman. The work has been marked by system and thoroughness and not dollar has been expended in needless improvements, and machinery has been added only as the progress of de- velopment justified and made it neces- sary
 Troy has been for some time past an eight hour camp, $3 being the wages paid, and MT Cutting is we'll satisfied with she experiment, finding that the men do as much and as good work in an eight hour shift as they formerly did in ten hours.
 A question that is receiving consid- eration by the two companies operat- ing at Troy is rail transportation, and they are now awaiting the decision ot the Phoenix and Eastern company, which is expected to begin the con struction of a railroad from Phoenix to Benson, through Florence and up the San Pedro river. If that line is built the Troy and Manhatton com panies will construct short line from Troy to connect with it; if not, they will build railroad themselves through Florence to connection with the Southern Pacific at Casa Ora nde

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has endeared himself to the people of the west by his manly position on the national irri- gation question. Never before has this country had more broad-minded or progressive executive, and the West will stand by him almost to a man Thisis good deal for a silver republi- can paper to admit, but when politics gets down to matter of dollars and cents, as in the last two general elec- tions, it is just as well to admit the fact. The West wants some of that prosperity that has been so much talked about, and nothing will bring it to agreater degree than water stor- pge for our arid lands.
