RUSSIA WANTS PEACE.
Her Principal National Scheme Is the Development of Her
 Resources.
colt Courier

The present czar has been some thing of puzzle 10 the world. Much was expected of him hy the friends of Russian progress because of his known inclination toward liberalism. His course has. been somewhat, but not wholly. disappointing, \ considerable influence has been retained hy Pobe, donostzeff. The Russion national par ty has grown in strength until revolu- tion and socialism. if they exist. are lost in greater movements and are heard of no more. The good understad- ing with France continues, being based on the eolid ground of financial self interest.
 The general peace policy tnaugu- rated by Alexander III. has been e1n- phasized by an attempt to reach a ba- sis of universal peace through the peace congress ct The Hague, says 8 writer in~the Chautauquan. The ini- tiation of this movement by Russia has been the subject of heated contro- versy as to the Russian motive. It may have been due in part to the enlight- ened views of the czar, but it's promo tion by Russia was unquestionably die tated in self-interest. It is to be noted that Russia is now at the highest point of prosperity that she has yet attained and is putting forth strenuous efforts to extend and consolidate her vast em l pire.
 Peace is the need of the Russion na tionalist-a peace that will erabit them to negotiate with China for Man churia, and to utilize their wealth 1T the building of railroads and in pro noting unity in other ways. They ds not wish to be disturbed in the Rnssi ticatdon of Finland and the other prov inees, which is an important part of thu national scheme

An Eastern View of irrigation.
From the Colorado Springs Gazette

From the Colorado Springs Gazette.l
 The comment of the New York Press on tue defeat of the river and harbor bill is typical one, and is worth republishing as showing kow the incident is regarded by q section of the eastern people. The Press says;
 Had the river and harbor bill died at the hands of m executive veto or the vote of an honest opposition, it would have few mourners. But since it succumbed to the. filibuster of an irrigation jobber, it's defeat is more ominous than it's passage would have been.
 Senator Carter's success in bending Senate anarchy to 8 congenial purpose means simply that another set of thieves will have to be provided for. These are the land speculators, who have long insisted that the Government l should set up for their benefit in the deserts of the far west a new compe- tition with the hardworking tax pay l ing American farmer.
 "Wheu the river and harbor bill turns up again new breed of leeches will be clinging to it. The profes- sional boomer will at last have estah- lished his long sought connection with the United States Treasury"
 Such an article is, however, not sc much the expression of eastern opinion as of eastern ignorance.
 It does no good to denounce sucf papers as the Press as grossly unfair and narrowly prejuGiced, for while they undoubtedly are that it does no help to correct the situation. 1 What is needed more than anythin. else is the dissemination of genuin information about. irrigation in tn east, and this must be done before tn arid region can receive the recogni tion it deserves.

causes. About eight out of ten of the English foreign mining companies turn out failures, and as rule the failure is attributed to the unproductivness of the mine when in reality it is brought about solely through the eincompetency anl ignorance of the manager sent out from the home office. Itis usually the custom of English companies when appointing manager to make their choice from the relatives or dependents of some large shareholder in the con- eern, never taking into consideration the fact that the gentleman in question has not the slightest conception of min ing or managing mining company, but is chosen solely because he is the relative of the said stoclxho der and is known to be man of position aud in- tegrity as to his qualifications as 8 manager, chat seems to be D secondary consideration always. By sending out such a manager into foreign country, where the customs and methods of con ducting any kind of business are en- tirely different to what he has been ac- customed to at home, to say nothing of his being handicapped by the lack of knowledge of mining, it is 8 foregone conclusion that the project will be | failure, and She sooner English cor porations realize this fact the better 1t will be for their purses.
 The mining districts of the western hemisphere are dotted now with i'm numerable monuments sacred to the l folly of British companies who have followed out this line of procedure in operating their mines and they always will be until the time shall arrive when boards of directors will learn to get some energetic and capable American to fill the position. When that time ar rives there will be fewer failures to re- port to British shareholders.

 WILHELEINA'S HUSBAND.
Prince Henry Will Not Cut Any Figure in EetheFIand
 Politics.

The future prince consort of Hol- land, Prince Henry, will not be an important parsonage politically. In fact, he will have no excuse for mix ing in politics if he had the desire to do so. He may share the queens pop ularity by being just the good hus- band of his wife, an exemplary head of society and, above everything else, patriot. The parliament, the cabi- net, the council of state (in which the regency was vested) for all purposes of government exercise legislative and executive power. They are the root, stem and branch. The queen is the flower. Her husband has no place in the constitution and would be ill-ad- yissd indeed to try to create one, says 8 foreign exchange.
 Although Prince Henry bears q high rank in the German army, he is not German. The proud hoast of his hpusc is that they are Wends-that is

The Turquoise Mines of New Mexico and
 Arizona.
From the Mining Repor ter l


 There are comparatively few people in this country who know that tur- quoise mining in New Mexico is nne of the oldest of mining industries in the United States and one which has been steadily profitable for at least a great CT portion of two centuries. A large part of the turquoise stones used in America now come from New Mexico mines and large quantities are sent abroad. The color of ths New Mexico stone is deeper and more lasting, and ouly the limited output bars it from entirely replacing the oriental tur- quoise. There are half dozen rich mines in the territory besides many smaller ones which the Indians and half breed Mexicans operate in a de sultory way and are near Cerrillos, on the Santa Fe railroad, while mines in the Sierra Blanca range, POO miles further south, give up many thousands of dollars worth of turquoise each year. At several places in northern Arizona the turquoise is mined.
 Itis an established fact that turquoise was mined before the Spanish invasion, and there Is little doubt that the Aztecs operated the mines, many of these now worked having, at the time of their location, sheltered earthen and stone vessels of great antiquity. Besides, some of the tribes of New Mexico have traditions which tell of great treasnries of beautiful blue stone, and their rare specimens of wampum, which have been handed down from generation, tc genertion contain beads of turquoise many of them very valuable gems.
 Spanish writers of the sixteenth cen tury explorations ia the southwest .ell of the turquoise mines and their opera ation by Spaniards. The Indians were employed as miners, aud, according tt story which is frequently told, near. ly 800 Indians were buried alive in i great cave-in of turquoise mine il central New Mexico. The catastroph' incensed the tribesmen of the victim to such g degree that they drove thu Spauiards from the country. It is peculiarly difficult matter to secur, any information regarding the work ings of the turquoise mines orthe out pat, the owners jealously guarding them from the curious eye. Several o the successful mines are located in u Burro mountains, near Silver City, tn better supply of water there enablin the more complete operation of th mines.

From the Tombstone Prospecsor.l
 A telephone message was received at Bisbee yesterday morning from Doug las, announcing that Alvord with two companions were in that place on Thursday evening. The two visited a number of tue saloons aud were around town until late that night, leaving just before daylight, going in the direction of Silver Creek and the Chirieahua mountains. As soon as the news was received, posse of five was at once started out in pursuit of the outlaws, and should they overtalSe them live ly scrap may be looked for. The fol- lowing composed the posse: Deputy Sherifgs Foster, iiudspeth and Striek- len, accompanied by Dan Russ and Ben Slaughter.
 Amessage was immediately sent to John Slaughter, the ex-sheriff, at San Bernardino, and he with three others have taken the field in hopes of head ing the bandits of. Alvord while at Douglas stated that he was going into tue Chirieahuas and was willing to meet any of the officers that should come after him. One of the men with him is the one that was with when he recently visited the Pearce country  while the other is unknown.
 A report is current that Alvord is go ing north toward San simon to meet Stiles, who was Ut Lordsburg feH days since. The probability of a hold up of another s. P. train, is discussed and while there seems to be no ground other than surmises for the rumor, there may be something in it.

A Disastrous Policy Not Desired by the

[Fram the san Franelseo Chroale.e.l

[From the San Francisco Chroaic.e.l
 There are those in Congress who ex. press willingness to cede the arid lands to the St ties in which they are situated and let them develop them as they please. Such proposition is out rageous. These Congressmen know perfectly that such action would result in placing all these lands in the hands of wealthy spectators, and forever barring the public from access to them. We have bought and paid for better government than that. The millions of dollars which the United States has taken into the Treasury from the sales of Western lands in years past creates valid obligation to employ the small remainder in improvements honestly and wisely made by Government engin- eers and administrators. Upon the ex- ecutive departments of the National Government we can depend for honest dll SdPdolC CdAiElHtSNEdtAOb. WI ChA- not always get it from our own legis- latures, and we are in a position to de- mand of the United States the good government and good administration which it is able to give. Congressmen who propose giving these lands to the States are open to the suspicion of 8 design to wilfully see these great re- sources wasted in order that there may be less competition" for the Yan- kee farmers. The Western demand is that the General Government shall keep the title to these lands until they pass into the hands of actual settlers, and that meantime it shall apply the reve- nues from the lands to making them habita ble.

Colonel Wilson.
From the Phoenix Gazette l

From the Phoenix Gazette ]
 Colonel Wilson and wife have return ed from Phoenix, where the couple will in the future reside, particularly Mrs. Wilson, who cannot live in the higher attitudes. Colonel Wilson closed his labors as delegate in congress oD the fourth. of the present month, having served term of two years in that body. We want to say in justice to the gentleman that no man ever elected from Arizona labored more conscientiously and effectively for the interests of his contitucnts than has J. F. Wilson, and his labor is evidence of the growth and popularity of the western sentiment in reference to irri- gation. When the gentleman entered congress only two southern members of congress were favorable to aiding the arid States, and few days before i the retirement of Colonel Wilson a test vote on the senate amendment to the appropriation bill allowing $l00, 900 for the Gila river dam, every member from the south, with two exceptions, voted for the amendment. This of itself is ample testimony of the dilli- 1 gence and efforts of Col. Wilson as del. egate in congress.

 The Mining Journal of London in a recent editorial comments severely up on the mistakes of boards of directors of mining companies in sending out in- competent men as mine managers for their properties in foreign countries. This has been fault of English com panies for so many years and seems to be such a well established policy that we are really surprised to see the sub ject taken up by the press. We have often wondered, however, that mention of this fact has not been brought to the notice of.the English public before now, and we have also wondered how Eug- fish investors in the stocks of great majority of these companies could stand the continual drain upon their purses without making inquiry as to the

No objections raised by individual Congressman or Senators can perma- nently check the progress of. the great movement for national irrigation. It has got beyond that stage. The pur- poses of the movement are now too well understood by the people, the press, and by many enlightened mem bers of Congress for it's progress to be permanently blocked. The success of a movement that is so desirable, so reas- opable, and so profitable to the nation at large, is only question of time and of very short time.
