QUARTZSITE.
]. < 1. !: !.

Quartzsite, July 3.-(Special cor respondence of The Republican.)- Where a few years ago was nothing but desert waste, located in the center of Posas valley, is now the mining town of Quartzsite. known to the old times as "Tyson's Well" Previous to the advent of Charles Tyson. one of the advance guard of miners and prospectors, one Black Sol" a Jew, owned a store, corral. and water station four miles south of town at Point of Rocks" During the winter of 1S66-7 a flood laid waste this station, resulting in the change to Tyson's place.
 Quartzsite is in Latitude 330 36' North, Longitude 114o 1O' west. ele- vation oyer 500 feet, and is 35 miles westerly from VicKsburg sta ton on the A. & c. railroad.
 A ~tri-weekly stage is operated. leaving Vicksburg every Monday, Wednesday and Friday Immediately after arrival of the train from the east, carrying mail, express matter and passengers.

 The population of the town is about 100. with over 200 additional in adjacent territory, who get sup plies and mail here. Ninety-nine were registered in Quartzsite pre- cinct two years ago. and sixty-five voted. There are three general mer- chandise stores. one good hotel, a first class restaurant, three saloons. blacksmith shop, two five stamp mills and a custom mill. There are very few mining communities of the size of Quartzsite that can boast of as good school facilities. The school building is new with up to date furniture. The trustees W. E. Scott, Anton Hagely and F. G. Gonzales give time and energy to it's better ment.
 One of Quartzsite's business men, and one who has been instrumental in building up the sown is w. F.. Scott, it's leading merchant. Starting in small way, by careful manage ment he has increased his business and extended his trade. His team is constantly on the road delivering supplies and water to outlying points. His delivery system extends to points 25 miles away. When condi tiOns warranted he put up a build ing to meet the demands of his growing trade. It is built of adobe. two rooms for store purposes, with N third room for a saloon. A short distance in the rear of the store is fhis residence, also of adobe. Mir. Scott acted as mason. laying the adobes of all his buildings, himself.

A FORTUNATE MISTAKE.
The Reported Ice Famine Proves Only Temporary and Cantaloupe Ship
 mer.s Continue.

There was some consternatiOn here yesterday among the melon growers of this section when NJ. M. Cox, represen- tatiYe-ef the Woods Distributing com pany of Chicago. and who is here su- oerintending the Mesa cantaloupe ship ment, received a telegram from that firm to the effect that he was not to make an more advance payments to the melon growers, as ice famines were reported as existing both at Tucson ard Fl Paso.
 The H. Woods company in Chicago which has the contract for the Mesa output, had agreed to make an advance payment of forty cents on eacn crate. prov htfng that the cars were properly Iced at designated points. The heavy shinments from the Imperial valley recently have drawn heavily on the tee supply at Tucson as well as Fl Paso. two of the places along the route where the cars are iced This, togeth- CT with the warm weather and the in- creased local demand in these two cit ies for this commodity, have caused souIe-of the Mesa shipments. made re- gently to arrive in Chicago in poor con- dition This, on being traced was found to .lie in the improper icing at the tw6 places named, and was the basis@fpr -the telegram received by MT. Cox yesterday morning. However, an other Telegram arrived shortly after wards stating-that the matter had been tsansfactorily adjusted with the ice feompanies in the places where the ttrouble was reported. and that the ad- vance payments should continue.
 The last report naturally eased a great many minds, and the uncalled for misapprehension as to the real diff ficulty was soon eliminated. It goes without saying that the citizens here rejoiced with the melon producers that the conditions proved to be only a ripple.

Some men are wise enough to try new foods and beverages and then generous enough to give others the benefit of their experience.

 No slave in chains, it seemed to me, was more helpless than I. cOf- fee captive. Yet there were innum- erable warnings-waking from q troubled sleep with a feeling of suf- breath, attacks of palpitation of the heart that frightened me.
 Common sense, reason, and my better judgment told me that coffee drinking was the trouble. At last my nervous system was SO disar- ranged that my physician ordered
 no more coffee
 He knew he was right and he knew I knew it, too. I capitulated. Prior to this our family had tried Postum but dfsliked it because. as we learned later, it was not made right
 "Determined this time to give Pos tum a fair trial. prepared it ac- cording to directions on the pkg that is. boiled it 15 minutes after boiling commenced. obtaining a dark brown liquid with a rich snappy favour similar to coffee. When cream and sugar were added, it was not only good but delicious.
 Noting it's beneficial effects in me the rest of the family adopted it. all except my husband, who would not admit that coffee hurt him. Sev- eral weeks elapsed during which drank Postum two or three times a day. when. to my surprise, my hus- band said: T have decided to drink Postum Your improvement is so apparent-you have such fine color that I propose to give credit where credit is due And now we are coffee slaves no longer" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek.

 impossible to estibate the amount of ore now in sight. but it has been esti- mated by mining men to be from 150.- 0OO--tO 2OO,G90 tons.
 The HermOsa mine at Harshaw was worked in 1879 and 1880 by California people, who took out several hundred thousand dollars from the pockets of rich silver ore, in a short time. and qnit when the pockets were worked out. In 1889 and 1890, James Finley, now dead, cleaned up over s100,000 from another rich pocket, and in turn banked his fortune and quit the mine. It is now owned by James E. Cochran of Bradford, Pa, who has capital suf- ficient to properly operate a mine and who probably will do so.
 A number of other cases might be cited, but the few mentioned will give the reader an idea of the kind of min ing that has been done in some of the other mines of Santa Cruz county The fictitious Irishman might say: There ain't thing that don't go down three steps and up two, turnin' to lift six steps on Tuesday. not comin' back till
 
 Instances might be cited of work done by eastern investors, who spent considerable money, sending west as managers and superintendentS men who never saw mine before. The writer has seen one instance of drift ing east and west from little shaft, on 9 clearly defined vein of quartz about as wide as the drift. between wells of porphyry. The drifts, both east and west. after following the vein some distance, gradually swung into the toOt wall and continued in clean, unstained porphyry for some fifty or sixty feet, in each case. About that time some real miner probably got into the mine and seeing what was being done. took them back and started them on the vein again. Of course, the peO- pie who first attempted to prospect that property. after spending s10,000 or more, abandoned it. The present owners employ good practical miners and are developing a mine that prom ises to turn out well.
 If the man who doubts that there are mines in Santa Cruz county will take a trip through the Patagonia and San ta Rita mountains, he will soon be convinced that the mines are there. If he will take 9 look at some of the work that has been done, he will un, derstand why properties upon which work las been done have not been de- veloped. He will never learn these things listening to the well known and experienced" curbstone mining man. whO has never been nearer to the hills mentioned than Patagonia or Nogales, and who curls his nOstrils and sneers whenever this or that pro- perty is mentioned.

FOOT BADLY INJURED.

Ivan Pomeroy, the young son Of Frank T. Pomeroy, had his foot badly hurt on Friday evening last, horse stepping on the member and badly spraining it. A few minutes before the young man had come in from his fathers ranch with vegetables and had tied the horse in front of Shattock x Nimmo's store. When he went to un- tie it, the animal which had its feet in the gutter, began backing and slip ped In trying to keep from falling it stepped on the. boys foot. Yesterday he was able to be around on crutches, and his injuries did not prevent him from celebrating the glorious Fourth. although the member was quite swo'- len and pained him a great deal.

 business, during which time he became one of the most successful policy writ CTS in the territory, and was the first to qualify as a delegate to the insur- ance convention held in Los Angeles three years ago.
