Last Victory of the East Over the
 West

The Washington Post believes that the house of representatives has com mitted serious blunder in this state hood business and that the short lived victory of two weeks ago will be the last the east will ever win over the west. The Post says:
 The Post never predicts, but if it were given to that bad practice it would say that the legislative action of Wednesday is likely to be the last sectional victory the east will ever gain over the west in the American congress. New England has twelve members in the United States senate, and you may throw all New England into either Arizona or New Mexico and it would require search warrant and a posse comitatus to find it. Fling the six New England states, one at a time, into different quarters of the pro- posed new state, and they might cease lessly tramp around for twelve-month without any one of them coming in contact with any other one of them in their bewildered wanderings. The ex- cuse is that the two territories are des- erts: but either of them, skillfully managed, will yield more agricultural products than all New England.

See America First"

The first session of "See America First" congress was held in Salt Lake last week Thursday and Friday, and was attended by representative men from all over the west. The first con- gress was held in Salt Lake for the reason that the idea originated in this city and was fathered by the Salt Lake Commercial club, which arranged the programme that was so successfully carried out.
 The "See America First" idea re- ceived an enthusiastic and almost spontaneous reception at the hands of the leading men of the west, and every city of importance, from Kansas City to the coast, is taking it up with viz or and push that bespeaks well for the movement. The thought is a good one. and the only wonder is that the inspiration has not long ago visited those who have the good of our coun- try near their hearts, for it goes with
 
 all that is wonderful and grand, beau tiful and awe-inspiring, the United States leads the world, and yet there are but comparatively few who realize this condition of the thousands who annually seek for rest and recreation in Europe and other countries, and es- E. atsds west. There are some few hundreds who have visited the Yosemite Park and the Yellowstone, Catalina Islands and the Garden of the Gods, in this western country, and fewer still have invaded the mysterious and majestic Colorado canyon, the canyons of the penetrated into mountain fastnesses that are picturesque beyond compare with anything that Europe can offer in this line.
 The west offers multitude of op- portunities for the tourist, for the pleasure-seeker. A novel and inter- esting trip might be made through the mining camps of the west. A sensa- tion never to be forgotten accompanies a visit into some of our deep mines. An inspection of mills and reduction works would be interesting as well as instructive, and also useful. Much might be gained by taking an outing in the mountains, stopping for a week at the camp of some lone prospector, or on the banks of some mountain lake, trout stream or angry cataract. There are beautiful parks way up in the mountains, dotted with heavy growths of pine, with lakes and purling streams, whose waters are so cold as to make ties could camp for the summer and at the close of the season testify that never in their lives before had they enjoyed such a treat. There are spots Tn the mountain ranges where those who love nature can study the old lady 'just as she was made" In these localities each can follow the desire oi his heart. The hunter can hunt, the fisher fish, aud the inquiring mind car study into the secrets of the rocks, fol low the mineral float to its source, anG perchance, combining business witf pleasure, discover a bonanza.
 See America First" No other country offers such opportunities, sucf a varity, such pleasures, and such ar invitation for rest and recreation Salt Lake Mining Review.

Antiquity of Arizona,s Petrified Forest.

John Muir, the noted naturalist and geologist, who is called the 'Hermit of the Yosemite," has been here at Adamana for several months making a close study of the petrified forests of this region. In speaking of his work here he said:
 ''I have made long trips to the six forests that lie within a radius of twelve miles of AdaInana. These six forests each contain from a thousand to three thousand acres of great trees, varying in diameter from a foot to few inches of eight feet, the longest continuous tree I have found measured about 175 feet, the taper of the trunk showing that it must have been slight ly more than 200 feet in length when intact. These trees I take it were con ifers, most of them evidently pines, with also hundreds of smaller varie ties, many of which I have been able to identify. In each forest the fossils seem to be of different colors varying  from coal black agate, the hardness of flint, to others showing the colors of the rainbow.
 "As near as can calculate, many of these trees are at least a million years old, and the fossils and sand stone for nation in which they are imbedded show plainly the traces of running wa ter. In the calculation of geolOgists, ot course a million years is as day, but of these trees may be imagined when it is remembered that the giant sequoias of California were as much as twenty-seven feet in diameter at the time of the birth of Christ. 1 be- lieve that the oldest of the California big trees whose age has been ascer- tained is 1000 years. The oldest trace we have of Egyptian civilization dates back only 1000 years, and we are not sure of that, so that it is impossible for the average man to conceive the thought of tree trunks million years old.

A Leadville, Colo, dispatch says: The increasing demand for zinc is an- other factor that helps to swell the output of the camp and in a year to add millions to the great total. This was proved during the week when a lessee on the Ibex disposed of his zinc lease for the snug sum of 3O,OOOS. A good body of zinc was opened in this particular portion of a mine and with the increasing price of spelter NJ. A. Nicholson and George Keeler cOnsid- cred it a good gamble and bought the lease from the Harvey boys. When such a sum is paid for lease it goes a long way to prove that the Little Johnny mine is far from being played out. About 200 men are now engaged in leasing on the property and the shipments of ore will average 5000 tons month.

 The so-called Steamboat Springs of Nevada are about six miles west of Virginia City and at the eastern base of the Sierra Nevada mountains, in a granite region. These springs come up through Assures in the rocks and all the waters are hot, some of them boiling, and clouds of steam may be seen issuing from them at any time, which gave the springs their name. Some of the springs deposit chalce- donic silica. other deposit carbonates of lime, iron, etc., and some deposit sulphur and cinnabar. Several attempts have been made to open mine on the cinnabar deposit, but it has been found impracticable, owing to the heat gen erated by the scalding water. The Steamboat Springs have been regarded by some eminent geologists as afford ing an excellent illustration of how ore deposits generally are formed: but while this is doubtless true of that par ticular type of deposit, it is unfortu- nate that investigations have only been possible at comparatively shallow depth. Some years ago considerable cinnabar was mined in a superficial way at these springs and the ore re- duced. Gold as well as cinnabar is be- ing deposited by these springs.-M. X l $. Press.

en three-score. Never in the history of the American congress was one mis- take made to breed another until the committee on rules determined they would not do justice to Oklahoma and Indian territory unless, at the same time, they were permitted to visit in justice on Arizona and New Mexico. The ''insurgents' with a backbone, though beaten, have not suffered n public estimation. It was not for them old Jacob pronounced the curse: ''Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel" The committee on rules is smart enough to know or at least to learn, that the very best way in the world to make an enemy is to humil- fate him. The insurgents" who yield ed to the persuasion of that committee will have a considerable load of humil- iation to lug during the rest of the session.
 The senate has the bill, and the sen- ate ndS IOI dS yet dDOAAohOO "hhS '" Ho once the inalienable legislative right to offer, debate, and vote upon amend ments. One amendment to this mon- strosity that the senate should consider is a proposition to make two states of Arizona and New Mexico as soon as each shall have a population requisite to entitle it to two members of con- gress under the present apportion- ment. New Hampshire, Vermont, and Rhode Island surely could not oppose that in daylight, and it is not possible that Delaware could oppose it in the dark, even, We are not quite positive that this suggested amendment is con- stitutional, but we are confident that it is not half as unconstitutional as that legislative Caesarean operation by which West Virginia got to be state.
 In the old days, northern statesmen who adhered to the south were ''dough- faces" The western statesman who sides with the east on a sectional ques- tion is not yet christened. This state hood bill is as sectional as the fugitive slave law, and the west is going to be in a rage over it one of these days ii the scheme shall be fully consummated.

How to Break up a Cold.

It may be a surprise to many to learn that a severe cold can be com petely broken up in one or two days time. To do this, however, prompt action is necessary. The first symptoms of cold are a dry, loud cough, a profuse watery dis charge from the nose, and a thin, white coating on the tongue. When Chamberlain's cough remedy is talk en every hour on the first appear ance of the symptoms, tcounteracts the effect of the cold and restores the system to healthy condition within day or two.
