Ion 1t is ne edless to say that Arizona
citizens would be pleased 10 have some
oil wells gush in the territory, but in the
end arte=ian wa err which is being
stfrik all over Arizona, will prove the
more valuable. Every flowing well
means that more barren acres of bar
rem land can be irrigated and made pro-
ductive and each success in this line is
an encouragement to others to try for
the same blessing. The fact that arte-
sian water exists in nearly all parts of
the territory is rapidly being demon
strated. Lei the goci work go on.-Pi.

Maryland and Pennsylvania Re.o2aiing

According to a Baltimore special in
the Nav York Times the old Mason and

This work is being cone under the di-
rection OF DIR. VIM Il. Clark OF the

Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania leg
stature in 1889 appropriated $1,000 ito
repair and reset the monuments on the
boundary line between this common
wealth and the adjacent state of Mary

islaturs of Maryland supplied $1,000 to
aid in the work.

southwestern portion of Philadelphia"
and the northern boundary of Mary

Virginia, when they were stopped by
the Indians.
Along the greater part of the line
each mile was marked by stone mon

YUMA COUNTY MINES
The Rapid and Successful Dey op.

w. II. Case. for two years in the EN-
ploy of the Fortuna Mining Co, near
Yuma, is in Tucson, and in an interview
with a Citizen reporter says:
The Fortuna has attained a depth of
1900 feet. On the 900-foot level q 12-
foot body of free milling gold ore Is be-
ing worked is being mined. and from
the bottom of the working shaft a drift
is being run to cut the ore body 300 feet
lower.
Mr. Case exhibited some specimens
from the 900 foot level that are thor
oughly permeateGi with gold, and he
says they are fair samples of the ore
body
The Fortuna Is the property of G. d.
Lane of California, and has produced
during the last five years an average Of
$4,000 per month with a twenty stamp
mill and while the ore BODY at the 800
foot level is not as extensive as that on
the upper levels, the quality has in
creased to that extent thar the mine is
more productive than wnen the ledge

THE MOTHER OF PARLIAMENTs.

Is the British house of commons los
ing its own self-respect. and with 1t
the respect Of the country? The ques-
ton is being asked in London with con-
siderable justification. Members GER
tainly are treating the mother Of par
liaments very differently to what they
did when Mr.. Gladstone was in power.
Then the ordinary M. =. was the slave
of his party, and was given to under
stand clearly that ne had serious du-
ties to do; now, he appears to regard
st. Stephens as IL pleasant lounge
where he can drop in for a gossip and
cupful Of tea when he has nothing
better to do. The terrace of the house
overlooking the liver has been turned
into fashionable restaurant, and
every afternoon crowds of gaily dress
ed women promenade up and down 1t
laughing and talking, for all the world
as If the business of rcnning the empire
was a society show. Old fashioned
statesmen are naturally alarmed at
this new trend in politics, and Lord
Salisbury, who always treats his jun

snub to members who prefer entertain
ing ladies with strawberries and Ice
cream to voting in the division Hobbies.
The utter apathy in politics Is due to
the fact that there Is no opposition.
The liberal party appears to be utterly
incapable of re-organizing itself. Mr..
Asquith may get a following, but 1t
will never be a powerful one. The
liberals want a man who can arouse
personal enthusiasm and command at
tention and there does not appear to
be such a statesman left-on either
side of the house.
