CIVILIZATION AND THE TROPICS


1t has long been believed that tropi'
cal regions are unsuited to higher civil
lization, and that more rigorous con-
ditions are needed for progress. The
present-day distribution of civilization
would seem to support this view. with
few exceptions, our most progressive
communities are located in temperate
regions, and until recently any inva'
sions of the tropical regions by north
ern civilization have either suffered
rapid decline, or have been kept alive
only by constant reinforcements Yet
this superiority of the colder regions
has not always existed. Civilization
originated in tropical countries, as
history will show. What is the reason
for the change of the seat of civiliza-
ton to the temperate zone? Accord
| ing the The Journal of the American
Medical Association, which discusses
| this question in a recent editorial, the
probable explanation lies in the de-
velopment of tropical diseases, and
the subsequent enervation and deter
ioration of tropical races. We know
that malaria was introduced into
Greece and Rome by African slaves.
In our country we have an even better
established illustration, in the pres
ence of the hookworm disease brought
to this continent originally by African
slaves, and from which probably over
one-half of the population OF the
. Southern states is suffering We know
that the tropics were not always in
tested with disease. Torquemada
writing from Yucatan centuries ago
said, Men die here of pure old age
for there are none of those infrmitie'
that exist in other lands" But will
the coming of the white man and thu
l negro, and the importation Of diseases
from other countries, Mexico and Cen
trail America became hotbeds of tropi
cal fevers. The progress of moderl
sanitary science, however, justifies tn
> belief that the tropics may in time re
gain their lost position. Already i
I Cuba and in Panama the possibility c
eliminating tropical diseases has bee
shown It is only matter of tim
until the same methods used in thos
countries will be given a world-wid
application. When this has occurre'
will the tropics resume their old pos
ton as the cradles of civilization? Co
Gorgas prophesies that, as soon as pr
ventable diseases have been wipe
out, 1t will be possible for the tropiC
again to become the seat of great civ
lizations This suggestion opens
an unlimited opportunity for specul
ton as to the effect on civilization
the control and extinction of contae
Gus diseases.

exploitation, however, will make the
tragedy complete; since it will ad-
vertise the shame of young woman
not as yet out of her teens and make
it impossible for her to retrieve the
self-respect she has lost. In an in
terview a day or two ago this young
woman. who seems to be exception

with beauty of face, discussed the du-
ties of parents to their children. She
said that she lacked proper restraint.
Neither father, mother, nor brothers
paid much attention to her. At the
age of thirteen years she was permit
ted to come and go at will, and to
stay out as late as she wanted to.

her questions and never advised her.

Anthony Comstock is loose again.
This time it is theatrical posters de-
picting scenes of crime that have eX-
cited his ire. Thousands of dollars
worth of posters showing thrilling
scenes from THE Dancing Girl" by
Arthur Jones, have been condemned
by the Society for the Suppression of
Vice. If Mr.. Comstock's order is up
held by the courts, it means the con
fiscation of more than $4,000 worth
of theatrical paper" Scenes of
bloodshed, says the crusader, are pro-
hibited by law, and hereafter this sta
tute will be as strictly enforced as
that against the public pictorial dis
play of insufficiently clothed legs.

A handsome brownstone front man

point of interest for all the occupants
of rubberneck automobiles.
in yonder four-story building" ex-
plains the spieler, "now lives Hetty
Green, the worlds richest woman, and
her son, Col Edward H. R. Green.
Hetty has just moved here from Ho-
boken, where she had a $40 a month
fiat for many years. Col. Ed is look
ing for a wife, so all the young unmar-
ried females aboard will please look
pleasant"
'Tis the truth. Mrs. Green has
finally left Hoboken and taken up her
residence in the Ninetieth street
house which she has owned for years
and rented to others, and her son is
openly and admittedly looking for a
bride From remarks he has dropped
on the subject it is evident that he is
peeved at New York women, and his
desires run to the old-fashioned varie
ty of housewife and mother.
New York women" says the Colon
ell, sweepingly, "are little more than
lines to hang clothes upon. They are
fashion and money mad. They marry
for home to live out of-they wed q
man to be away from him. Children
are the last thing they want. Beauti
full clothes, automobiles and yachts
and the envy of other women, are tt
them the things most to be desired.

The Last Chance Properties

William Ochs, who has just com
pleted arrangements for the taking
over of the Last Chance group of
mines, in the north end Of Wallapai
mountains from o. D. M. Gaddis,
Harry Mehaffy, W. f. Frost and Wal
ter Myers, for the account of himself
and associates, departed to Long
Beach q few days ago, where he will
make arrangements for the develop
ment of the properties. The Last
Chance has a shaft at a depth of l2O
feet and a drift cuts the vein about l5O
feet below the bottom of the shaft. A
raise has been driven about 30 feet
from the drift toward the bottom of
the shaft and this will be continued to
a connection. In all the openings a
fine grade of gold-lead ore has been
opened, the average value running
about 25S. 1t is the intention of Mr.
Ochs to put in a milling plant TO
handle the output of the shafts and
drifts and thereby practically make
the mine self sustaining. The mill
will be on the ground and in operation
within the next sixty days. While
the mill is being installed it is expect
ed that the raise will connect the shaft
and then drifting on the vein will be
carried on.
1t is estimated that there is now in
the mine about 6O,OOOS worth of ORE
while the work mapped out will add
greatly to the reserves. 1t is also ex-
pected that the drift will be driven TO
another vein farther up the mountain,
where there is fine showing of ore in
the outcrop of one of the big lOdes OF
that section.

Mining vs.. Agriculture.

BY reference to the report of the
Bureau of Statistics and the Geologic
al Survey a comparison of the value Of
agricultural products with the value
of mineral produced in Arizona the
past year 1910 can be readily seen
Hay and forage, 2,553, COOS; barley, rs,
OOOS; Wheat, 4I0,0O0S; corn, 294, OOOo;
alfalfa seed, I57 ,OOOS; oats, l3O,OO0F, a
total value of 4,259,OOOS. Compared
with this is the valuation of all ores
produced during the same period OF
more than 42,OOO,OOOS, being ten times
that of the agricultural production.
While both agriculture and mining in
Arizona is yet in its infancy il is be-
lieved that the increase in metal pro
duction the next five years will be far
and away above that Of agricultural
products. But in the agricultural
section of Arizona the word mine" is
almost unknown, the people of the
Salt River valley using every effort TO
blind the probable investor to the fact
that investments in mines are more
desirable than investment in the agri-
cultural lands of that region. II is APP
parent to every person that reads the
reports of the various bureaus of the
government that mining in Arizona is
one of the safest and most desirable of
investments and that with the proper
expenditure of capital there is little
likelihood of loss in any of the mining
industries.

Jack Stanford is getting some nice
gold ore from a new location near the
J. F. T. claim, in the upper part of l.
Y. L. basin. Specimens from the vein
show gold freely, while in, the horn
spoon long strings Of gold show up.
The drifts now being run from the
bottom of the 200 foot shaft on the
Iowa group by F. T. Powell, who is
operating the property under bond,
is said to be showing up splendid. ore.
The vein is getting bigger and better
with every days development.
Jean Brown, who owns a large
group. of mining claims in the Wright
Creek section, is in Kingman attend
ing to business affairs. He reports
mining in that section on the improve,
and it is his opinion that some of the
best mines in the county will be open
ed up in that region.
w. B. Alexander, of Tucson, is in
Kiugman getting things in shape &c
put out a survey corps to close up the
survey between the Sacramento valley
and the Colorado river. The present
lines ofsurvey is complete to point just
west of the Little Meadows and south
to Franconia. To complete the sur
vey of all the lands through the Gold
road section the survey will be carried
to the lower mesas along the east side
of the Colorado river.

L. Hoffman, general manager of the
Arizona Southern Copper Company,
mas gone to the mine, where he will
pay off the road gang. The wagon
road over the mountain has been COM
pleted and is now passable by the big
teams, although il may need some re-
modelling in places. The road devel-
oped some heavy rock work that de-
layed the completion of the road the
past two months. 1t is now probable
that the heavier machinery for the
mine and new mill will be sent in and
that greater forces of men will be put
to work on the properties. The CON-
pany has been developing the past
three years and has large amount of
ground blocked out.
P. E. Ceilings returned this week
from the Diamond Joe mine, where he
did a number of assessments on his
group of claims. He is of the opinion
that the Diamond Joe section is one OF
the best in the Wallapais and that as
soon as it is possible to reach the
mines from the west side of the noun
tain a large production of ore can be
made. While absent the prohibition
party took advantage of his youth and
innocence and named him for state
auditor en- their ticket.
George Steinberg came up from the
Bellfower mine this morning to look
after business affairs. He reports thai
the drift from the bottom of the 2OC
foot shaft has been run toward the
vein eighty feet and that it is thought
thirty feet will be required to cut the
vein. Small stringers of quartz anC
talcy matter is coming in the breast o.
the drift.

Southern Pacific Will
Not Build High Line.

The position of the Southern Pacific
on the Box Canyon route is that the
railroad company will definitely de-
cline to build at all excepf on the low
grade, claiming that a raise sufficient
TO carry the grade above the l65-foOt
level of the proposed San Carlos dam
would make it necessary for the rail
road TO be built OF high level clear to
San Carlos and would also render nee
essary so much extra expense in spec
ial construction in rip-rapping and
other work in the vicinity of the res
ervoir that the total cost of the rail-
road would approximate 7,0OO,0O0S as
against little more than 1000, COOS by
building on the low line.
AS figured out in the presidents Of
fee, the interest at per cent on l.
OOO, COOS would be 35,0OOS a year, an
amount of money which from the CON-
pany's standpoint, the traffic earnin Us

to justify .-Tombsron ProspecIor.

This year when the late frost came
which was so harmful to alfalfa
fields, all of my alfalfa froze down.
The covered alfalfa came up and
made a splendid crop of hay and
later a good crop of seed; but in
that part of the field which did
not receive the silt covering the
summer before was left in a sickly
condition. The drouth came, and
the field did not even make one
crop of hay worth cutting.
Another advantage of having
the crown of the plant covered is
the possibility Of pasturing it with
out any harmful effect.
In conclusion will state that
any land which will grow two
crops of alfalfa a year will pay
the owner ten per cent interest on
from one to two hundred dollars
per acre, no matter whether you
raise seed or use it for hogs aud
raise pork for market.

The bill to provide for change
of the method of controlling the
soldiers home at Hot Springs,
with the provision that the govern
ing board and the superintendent
need not be composed of veterans,
is meeting with determined oppo-
sition from the members of the G.
A. r. 1t is undoubtedly true that
the home should be indeed a home
rather than a military barracks,
and that the best men to be obtain
ed should be at its head, whether
they have or have not had war
service. The strongest objection
that the Review man can see to
the bill is that it would give a
greater chance to play politics
than under the present method.
There has been too much of that
done in this state during the past
six years, with the result that
needy causes have been made sub
servent to the whims of peanut
politicians.

Resubmjssion in Maine

The legislature of the state of
Maine voted Thursday to submit
TO the people of that state, at a
special election to be held in Sep
tember, the question of the repeal
of the state prohibition clause.
Maine has been experimenting with
constitutional prohibition for near
ly 50 years. With what success
the outsider has been unable to
learn. One class of people declar-
ing that the law was a success, an
other class that it was a failure;
one class declaring that the drink
evil in Maine was on the decrease,
another just as emphatically de-
claring that there are more drunk
ards in Maine per capita population
than any state in the union. The
republican party has stood for the
retention of the prohibition clause,
the democrats for its repeal. Year
after year the campaign issues have
been on this line. Year after year
the demand for the repeal of the
prohibition clause has gone before
the legislature and been defeated.
This year with a demo cratic gov
ernor and a legislature of the same
political pursuasion the anti pro-
h:bitionists have succeeded and the
question will be put squarely to the
people of Maine. If they repeal
the amendment, it will be consider
ed that the state wide prohibition
is failure. If the law is upheld
the law can be said to be a success
in Maine and the work of Neal
Dow vindicated. Much interest
will attach to the way the people
of Maine vote upon this question.

ground.
have alfalfa where l seeded
FIVE pounds and where l seeded
seven pounds. Both this year and
last the thinly seeded made the
best seed crops. This year it
yielded me $40 per acre for seed.
l consider this country an ideal
seed country.
Now As to it's feeding quality.
1t comes nearer to grain than any
other forage plant. Horses will
do hard work on alfalfa rations;
hogs will hold their own and win
ter on it. l am wintering three
hundred hogs this winter, and their
grain rations are less than one
pound of macaroni wheat per hog
per day.
PREPARING THE HAY FOR FEEDING
run ny first cutting through
the threshing machine and separate
the coarser from the finer feed,
the fine chaffy feed is stacked up
and fed to the hogs. The horses
and cattle get the coarse feed;
The straw after the seed is taken
out also makes good feed. 1t is
better than the most of the prairie
hay. As pasture for pigs alfalfa
cannot be beaten.
l raise my alfalfa on bottom
lands along the Cheyenne river,
although l have experimsnted on
upland IS previously stated. /
believe that by proper cultivation
it can be pro6tably grown on up
land. l should, however, pursue
an entirely different method, that
is, l should plant it in rows and
cultivate it. La preparing the
ground should make bitches at
least six inches deep and twenty
four inches apart for the rows.
Plant the seed in these bitches,
cover slightly, and then before
winter sets in cover the plants at
least three inches with dirt. The
next spring after the plants are
well sprouted, should level the
field. Now the plants are protect
ed against cold and heat, and the
field is in such shape that it can be
disced after every crop. This will
keep the soil loose and conserve
the moisture. l feel that by this
method of procedure it will be
pos sible to raise large seed crops.
Nature taught me this lesson,
when in the summer of 1909 a
portion of my field was flooded by
high water from the Cheyenne
river. The alfalfa was in bloom
and ready to cut for hay. The
water was very muddy and deposit
ed from six to eight inches of silt,
l thought my field was ruined.

THE. LEGISLATIVE GRIND
What the Solons of the Twelfth Session
are Doing

vote of 80 to 81, after nearly two
days consideration. Many of the
adverse votes were cast following
instructions in letters from consti-
tuents of the members.
The winter free range bill was
reported adversely by the live
stock committee of the senate. 1t
is not likely that the house will
turn down the report on the bill
to get it in shape for action, as it
is not considered as a very popular
measure so far as the majority of
the residents of the state affected
are concerned.
The new apportionment bill,
which is the work of the joint
committee of apportionment in
both houses, shifts the majority of
the membership over to the west
ern part of the state. The senate
has been up to its membership ever
since statehood and there was no
way for the western counties to
get the representation they were
entitled to in that chamber without
taking it from the eastern counties.
While there is yet room for ex-
p,nsion of the house of represen-
tatives, so far as the constitutional
limit is concerned. the house
chamber in the new capitol places
a Limitation which is crowded to
the limit now. In the readjust-
ment which will be made by the
apportionment bill, the number
has been reduced from lO4 to 1O3.
Lyman and Stanley counties are
benefited greatly by the new bill.
They each now have representa-
tive and divide one senator be-
tween them. The bill gives Ly-
man senator and two representa-
tives, and Stanley has one senator
and three representatives.
