hardness and is beautiful gem. The
true sapphire is sky blue in color, but
it also occurs in various shades of red,
yellow, purple and brown, and when it
occurs as a blood red crystal II is
known as an Oriental ruby. 1t was
priced very highly by the ancients and
is still esteemed as one of the most
beautiful and rarest of the gems. The
ruby belongs to the same gem series
as the sapphire, and derives its name
and classification from its color. EN-
eralds and beryls are first cousins and
are very beautiful crystals. The color
of the emerald is bright emerald green,
and the most beautiful and valuable
beryls are greenish-yellow and apple
green in color, and when the crystal is
blush green it is called aquamarine,
and when honey. yellow, chrysoberyl.
Pearls and opals are peculiar in not
being Crystalline in structure. The
most beautiful pearls are found in the
opVii VI 'hV POhii W bOhibb iAcu
the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf.
The opal is mined in many different
parts OF the world, and the beautiful
blue tinted and fine opal exhibits a
wonderful play of delicate colors and
refulgent tints. The turquoise is not
brilliant, but when polished is very
beautiful stone and shows to best ad-
vantage in a setting of rich orange
gold. Its color is sky blue, blush
green to apple green, and these diff.
ferent tints of color do not change its
character, as the analysis of different
tinted turquoise gives nearly the same
proportion of elemental matter, viz:
alumina, phos phoric acid and water.
Both the green and blue turquoise
we're priced very highly by the ancients.
Some of the most extensive and val
liable turquoise mines in the world are
now opened in Mohave county, Ari-
zona, but formerly the finest speci-
mems came from Persia, and to this
day the Persian kings retain for their
own use all the larger and best col
ored specimens. j. ID. JORDAN.

We would say to the Tucson Citizen
and Phenix Enterprise that the gen.
tleman named by US as a probable
candidate for congress on the republi
can ticket passes under no alias, al.
though the greater part of his time and
his best ability has often been given
in keeping democratic and repub blican
gentlemen sailing under the alias of
John Doe from the pen. Edwin NJ.
Doe is a gentleman whom 1t is an hon.
or for any man to know, and no play
on the name by the political opposition
will injure him among the people of
the territory. He is one of the bright
est lawyers of the bar of Arizona and
we would advise the editors of the En-
terprise and Citizen to cultivate his
acquaintance.

Santa Fe Tax Bill.

House Bill No. 1893, having for its
object the consolidation of the hold.
ings of the Santa Fe railroad under one
management, and which recently
passed the house, has been passed by
the senate aud upon approval by the
president will become a law. This is
the bill that has caused so much dis
cussion among the people of Arizona
and New Mexico aud upon which an
agreement was at last acceded to by
which the railroad company is to pay
to the counties through which its lines
run an annual tax of l75S per mile.
The measure prescribes that no tax
shall be levied this year 1872, but that
in the year 1903 the assessors of the
different counties of New Mexico and
Arizona shall levy an assessment
against the property Of the railroad
company amounting to the sum of
l75S for each and every mile of road
within each and every county. 1t also
states that nothing in the measure
affects the right of the counties to levy
assessment on the lands of the com
pany under the system of taxation now
in force in the territories. Under this
law the county of Mohave will receive
almost l9,O00s from right of-way tax,
besides the tax levied on the land, etc,
of the company. OF course, the con :
pany has reserved the right to make
the best terms they see fit with the
counties for the years just past and the
year 1872 While it is the better plan
to take the amount offered by the cou-
pany without an expensive suit at law,
we believe it would be the better thing
for the company to make tender to
the county of fair sized tax and pre-
serve them from an unjust tax levy in
the later years when Arizona becomes
a state. The railroad company simply
agreed to the tax of 1865 per mile on
the hypothesis that the territory would
be admitted to statehood and the
manipulation Of the Legislature will
make the matter of taxation plain
sailing for them.

An Old Frienu Gone.

At the town Of Salamanca, New York,
on the 25th of May, there passed out
OF this life one of the friends of our
early youth,-Augustine w. Ferrin.
Mr.. Ferrin was one of the best and
kindliest of men, and there was no
man with whom he had been asso.
ciated, in business or otherwise, that
did not entertain for him the kindliest
respect aud admiration. He had been
i'll the greater part of his life, but this
did not deter him from taking an ac-
tive part in business affairs and in pol
itics. He was one of the republican
party leaders in western New York and
his efforts in behalf of the Stalwart
element gave him wide influence. For
more than thirty five years he was the
editor of the Republican, Published at
the town of Salamanca, and was act
lively engaged in other pursuits. Some
years ago he came to Mohave county
for his health and seemed much ben
Gifted by our warm, dry climate. May
his sleep under the sod of dear old
Cattaraugus county be pleasant one.

The White Dove.

After nearly three years of the blood
lest war in the history of the world
the white dove of peace hovers over
the bloody ground of South Africa.
The commissioners recently selected
to bring about peace between the con-
tending armies was successful in their
efforts and a treaty was signed at
Pretoria last Sunday by Lord Kitchener
and the Boer generals and civil repre-
sentatives that ended the conflict.
The signing of the treaty was received
in London with the widest entbusias ID,
although by its terms every demand Of
the Beers was acceded to. Every
property owner is allowed to retain his
property and effects and the war debt
of the republics is to be paid, If the
claims are found to have been incurred
in legal manner, but no tax is to be
levied on the Boer farms to pay this
big budget. The English government
takes it upon itself to place the Beers
on their feet once more and to further
this move a commission will be ap-
pointed to help the burghers to restock
their farms and l5,OV0,00Js will be
placed at Its disposal for this purpose.
In fact every demand made by these
Mohave County miner., 1902-06-07

brave people has been acceded to, with
the exception of granting independ-
ence. But independence will come in
time, il the people will only stay to-
gether. Another war, such as this was,
will bring the English nation 70 the
verge of bankruptcy aud compel the
letting go of many Of the dependencies
that are just now a clog on the wheels
of the mother country. No one who
is lover of the right will regret that
this merciless war is over and the fur
ther sacrifice of human lives averted.

Mark Smiths withdrawal from the
congressional race, or rather his re.
fusal to become a candidate, in no wise
takes him from the race. He is not
the first man who has been nominated
to office after entering an emphatic
refusal. Mr.. Smith undoubtedly wants
his nomination to be unanimous, but
he sees that such cannot be the case
with so many men in the field. Each
one must surely have followers and
the fight would be warm one if he
concluded to stay. Charles NJ. Shan.
non is now the candidate that will ap-
peal to the southern Arizona demo
crat and we believe that he can get the
nomination. He is bright man, rich
and popular.

Precious Gems.

Gems, with the exception of opal and
pearl, are mineral crystalizations, and
their beauty and value depends upon
their color and hardness. All the
gems, with the exception Of the opal,
derive their beautiful colors from the
presence of iron in solution when the
crystal was forming. The opal derives
its beauty from it's internal fiaky
ructure, forming prisms, emitting
beautiful prismatic colors. The gems
of greatest beauty and value are the
diamond, sapphire, ruby, emerald,
beryl, pearl, opal and turquoise. A
pure diamond is pure carbon, and its
color is alwa,s white, or colorless, but
diamonds are occasionally found tinged
with red, rose, yellow, orange, green,
blue, brown and black. The colored
diamond is not strictly pure dia-
mond, but sometimes the color adds
greatly to its value, the blue diamond
being priced the highest of all. The
black diamonds of Brazil are not prop
erly classed as diamonds, and have
little, or no value as gene. The sap
phire ranks next to the diamond in

There are now more men on strike
in the United States than at any time
in its history. We again say that these
strikes can and should be averted. The
exercise of little commonsense on
one side and the sitting of arrogant
dominion on the other will bring
about peaceful solution to every dis.
pute between capital and the wage
earner

The Benson Press is demanding that
the republicans nominate a man for
delegate to congress who has rich
wife, or in the event that he has none,
that he be made to provide himself
with this desirable addition at once.
1t points to the fact that there are sew
eral democratic candidates who have
rich wives and believe that in this re
spect the republicans ought not to al.
low the enemy to steal a march on
them. 1t takes the wherewithal for
both democratic and republican can,
didates to get there aud the poor news
papers need some of the filthy lucre
in their business. Two years ago we
understand that one of the Phenix pa
pers got retaining fee of 1200s and
then went over to the opposition in
the hour of dire need. 1t IL nothing
unusual for Phenix newspaper man
to not stay bought.

Now that the Boer war is settled it
would be the height of wisdom for the
United States to make try at settling
the Philippine war. This struggle has
been dear one to the United States,
and, while we believe it could not have
been averted, we think that the time
is now ripe to bring about a peaceful
solution of the trouble.
