UNCERTAIN HISTORY OF MINING CAMPS; HISTORY OF TOMB STONE

The greatest mining center of the territory is Bisbee, near the Mexican line. Cochise county, in which this town, or mining camp" as the mining town is universally termed, is located, has 9,251 population, although many more are "claimed." (Bisbee not being incorporated in 1900 it's separate census was not taken.) The committee does not think that the purely mining popu- lation, at least of so limited extent as that 'of Arizona, is sufficient basis for state.
 The fortunes of this kind of popula- tion are as uncertain as the extent of the ore deposits they seek-One day thriving, prosperous, full of enterprise and hope, the next day the city de- serted by dejected population. Boom ers,' speculators and even mine owners will assert with enthusiasm that the ore deposits are sufficient for a century and even for centuries, and this may be true but the reliability of such claims when considered in so grave q matter as the basis for population for state hood is illustrated by the melancholy history of Tombstone, Ariz. This place only few years ago was a city of thousands of inhabitants, prosperous with the sudden riches of it's mines. Today its mines are not in operation. and but 646 people remain. Efforts are now being made to operate the mines again.
 All who have noted the exciting ca reer of purely mining towns, and es- pccially those who have been through numbers of abandoned cities" which only a year before were filled with a people intoxicated with the peculiar en- thusiasm of the mining camp" will appreciate the comparative certainty and uncertainty of that industry

As to the educational progress of the people of the territory, taken as q whole, 1t may be considered fair. or course. in towns like Prescott (popuia- tiOn 3.559), of Phoenix (pOpulation B. 55D, or Tucson (populatiOn 7.53D the schools are altogether admirable. School buildings in these three towns compare favorably with much larger towns, even in the best portions of the entire country. It is also true that mo- where in the republic are to he found men and women of higher quality In all that makes good citizenship than the people in these localities.
 Many of them, as in New Mexico, have been drawn to these towns be- cause of their illness and the healthfuI condition of these regions; for it is well known that no place in the world Is better for certain kinds of ailment, particularly consumption, that the hign altitude, dry air and perpetuai sun- shine of Arizona and New Mexico Many of the best citizens of these terri tories went there on this account, re- covered their health in full measure and are among the most enterprising and valuable of the population of the territories.

Delft vases are from $3 up- wards and a pretty set of Favrile fin ger bowls can be purchased for I5 cents Rock crystal vases begin at s5 and to housekeepers any of the above are acceptable gifts. Young la dies usually take pride in bureau and toilet furnishings and for the former. one or more perfumery bottles arc timely offerings.
 Fine perfumery is always acceptable and a bottle of Murray & Lanman's Florida water, in itself refined gift. is always a tasteful addition 10 other presents. In case of the selection of a pair of toilet bottles as a Christmas present, one may be filled with this standard favorite. while for the other, choice may be made among other eX- tracts. New toilet bottles are in glass having the stoppers headed by curious devices in oXydized silver, but as hth- Crto, silver deposit on glass remains in high favor. Fancy boxes in ivory, have oXydiZed silver covers and more standard toilet boxes in glass, have sil- yer covers, either oXydized or other wise. New combs and brushes are in weed with ivory finish and mounted in copper.

Reciprocity in the West.

The western manufacturers are eager for the. confirmation Of the reciprocity treaties which will aid them, and also western farmers. whose ratification is hlndered only by influential manufac- turers of cheap lace and pichbeck jew elry The senate is obdurate. It is only by agitation that obstructionist sena- tors can be educated to believe that the country really wants reciprocity There will be an equally stubborn opposition to reciprocity with any country. but 2 general public demand. when clearly expressed. is irresistible. If the manu- facturers of the west want reciprocity they must agitate necessarily until ade- quatc pressure has been brought to bear upon the senate.-Chicago Trib- une.

NINE OUT OF EVERY HUNDRED CAN NOT READ OR WRITE ANY LAIN GUAGE WHATEVER

Schools in the territory outside of the towns mentioned, and perhaps three or four others, while active, have not yet accomplished great results. This is proved by the fact that of the entire population of Arizona 29 per cent can neither read nor write any language. Twenty nine per cent of illiteracy in T population of 122, ,931 most of whom are Caucasians, is a condition whose seri- ousness is appreciated by no one more than by the progressive people of that territory themselves. In addition to the immigrants from the other states of the union for reasons of health, pleas ure or profit, there is a considerable and constant immigration from Mexico. This is illustrated by the fact that or the whole population of the territory. 12,0O0 who can speak no English are or old Mexican parentage, and out of the entire population, 29,911, or 2352 per cent, speak no English whatever.
 "INDUSTRIES-AG
 As in New Mexico also. the agr1cul- ture is absolutely dependent upon irrl- gation. The chief regions where irri- gation is employed are the valley of the Salt river, near Phoenix, and the valley of the Gila, and a portion of land neal Yuma, in the valley of the Colorado. Of these the region around Phoenix is the most extensive and by far the most perfect. Here an elaborate system of canals has been constructed and agri- culture is carried to the highest point yet developed in the southwest, and yec agriculture has here reached its limit until the impounding system is suc- cessfully established simply from lack of water in the river.
 The volume of water in this stream Is not only insufficient, but uncertain. Two or three years of scanty rainfall or of snowfall in the mountains shrinks the available water to a compass great ly insufficient for the lands already served by the system of canals. Many ranches are at present unproductive. and, some of the less hopeful think. actually ruined by this absence or water. For example, Mir. Fowler, of Phoenix, was this year able actually to irrigate only 40 acres out of a ranch of nearly 400 acres, and this was able to do this only by paying for water for 16O acres. Statement of MT. Fowler. D. 139; testimony of F. H. NewaH, D.. 216)
 The total amount of land actually un- der cultivation by irrigation in the whole territory for the present year is in the neighborhood of 1S5,0O0 acres. CTestimOny of Dwight B. Heard, D. 149; r. II. Newell. p. PIT. and Others)
 The whole area under irrigation canals, were there water enough to serve the canals already constructed. is O.25 per cent of the entire area of the territory, which is 72,26S,SGO acres. CTestimony of Prof. F. H. Newell, D. 217) Aside from the proportions now under irrigation little remains for like treatment except in the contingency of very extensive storage in the fu- ture."

. CENSUS SUBSTANTIALLY COR
 RECT"

The census has been earnestly at tackled by those asking for the imme- diate admission of Arizona on two grounds. first, that the enumerators did not count the prospectors in the noun tains, and, second, that it is so exceed ingly hot in summer in the region of Phoenix and Tucson that those who can afford it leave during the heated season for the California seashore or other summer resorts.
 Careful inquiry convinces the com mittee that such omissions are not seri- GUS. and that the census is substan- tiaIly correct. As to the "prospectOrs, |" they, of course, are not a permanent class of citizens, and it would be i'm possible to consider them, even if they could be found. As to those who leave Phoenix and Tucson and other portions of the territory during the excessive heat of summer, the committee was unable to find an estimate by enumer- ators of more than 104 such omissions. Considering that a thousand were suffi- ciently well-to-do to afford this lux ury, the results of the census would not be substantially disturbed. Even if 5000 went away during the summer and were omitted by the enumeratOrs, still the general total of the census would not be seriously affected for the pur- pose of this discussion.

CURRENT COMMENT
Sig. Pino's Invention.

Italy has another inventor whose name seems likely to become as famous as Marconi's. Sig. Pinos inventions. described in the Contemporary Review by Dr. Carlo Alberti. promise to give mankind complete sovereignty of the seas-of all the wealth as well as all the scientific mysteries hidden in their deepest depths. They include a sub marine boat and a new photographic apparatus of wonderful power, which he calls the "hydroscCpe."
 The boat is small affair, devoid of utility in war, but capable of carrying two persons to any depth, and of being held there immovablc and in perfect equilibrium for any length C. time. It's two occupants can work in it on the bed of the sea for twelve hours contin- uously without needing to return t0 the surface for air. Every object is clearly seen from it at any depth through win dows made O. special crystal. and it can move freely on the floor of the ocean on an ingenious single wheel pro pelled by an electric driven screw.
 The hydroscope enables it's operator. standing in an open boat or the sur lace, to take clear photographs of the seas bed and all the objects thereon for an extensive area around the oneratina point. It Eliminates the depths and brings their contents within reach of the comera.
 If Sig. Pino's claims are made good the .incalculable riches buried since tune began in the fathomless caverns or neptune including the great Athenian sculptures sunk in the archipeligo i0 the Pompeian wars, will be recovered without great difficulty. The addition Tn that case to the worlds stock of gold Will be enc. mous.-NeM York YnLIlk

FALLING HAIR STOPPED.
Badness Cured by Destroying the
 Parasite Germ That Causes It.

Badness follows falling hair, falling hair follows dandruff; and dandruff is the result Of a germ digging it's way into the scalp to the root of the hair where it saps the vitality of the hair. To destroy that germ is to prevent as well as cure dandruff, falling hair, and, lastly, badness. There is only one preparation known to do that. New bros Herpicide, an entirely new. sci entifc discovery. Wherever it has been tried it has proven wonderfully sue cessful. It can't be otherwise, be- cause 1t utterly destroys the dandruff germ.
