NEW POSTMASTER

Last Monday morning Gregory Jonea
Blackfoot's new postmaster. assumed
his official duties. H 3. Curtis, his
Republican predecessor, turned over
the office to him with all possible
courtesy and instruction in order to
aid him in becoming familiar with
the affairs of the office. The change
seemed to be a political event of
mutual pleasure, as Mr.. Curtis said
he was glad to be relieved, ard we
know Mr. Jones welcomed the, respcn-
sibilities his friends had thrust upon
him. The assistant postmaster and
all the clerks seem to be competent
and satisfactory to Postmaster jones'
and will net be disturbed in their
respective positions. That Mr.. Jones
will prove satisfactory postmaster
seems to be conceded by all who are
familiar with his CLERICAL ability and
affable disposition.

Boom is Reported from GoldfieId.
Word received from Goldfeld by

Word received from Goldfield by Globe mining men yesterday said:
 '"The camp is showing every indica- tion of substantial and enduring boom. Old timers, many of whom were sue cessful and made fortunes in the early days of Goldfield, are coming back and declare almost to man that they are "back home" to stay and back in the mining game in the best camp that ever existed. Incoming trains bring large numbers of newcomers, as well as early day residents; the hotels are crowded to capacity and business in every line is fourishing. Money is being provided in liberal measure for new development in the district, and this camp is without doubt the one spot in the civilized world that does not appear affected by the war in Eur ope and that is free from business cares, and signally prosperous.
 Geological conditions here, that have been determined by the recent notable developments in the Jumbo Ex. and Atlanta mines have attracted min ing engineers and geologists from all directions, and parties of technical ex- perts have daily inspected the workings of these mines. Without exception these men have been deeply impressed with what they have seen. Predictions for the future of the camp, made by some of them, have bordered on the extravagant, but nowhere has an au- lucrative voice been raised in dero- gation or in doubt of a future pro- duction by these mines and their neigh bors overshadowing the record breaking performances of the past.

Sees Prosperity.

c. E. Meek, an officer of the Ameri- can Exchange National Bank of New York, which institution was the east ern correspondent of the recently de- funct Valley Bank in an address be- fore the Merchants & Manufacturers Association declared in his judgment. Arizona gave greater promise for a prosperous future than any state in the union. He deplores the adoption of new schemes of government and pre- diets that their failure of succussful operation would be realized by the voters of the state in due time when readjustment of conditions would come and legislation encouraging the capital would be adopted followed by pros perity.

Peru, Land of Extremes.

Were to be exiled and confined for the rest of my life to one country, l would choose Peru. Here is every altitude, every climate, every scene. Coastal Peru is an Egypt, central Peru a Tibet, eastern Peru Congo country. The lifeless desert and the teeming jungle, the hottest lowlands and the bleakest highlands, heaven-piercing peaks and rivers ranging through can yons---all are of Peru. Here one meets with the highest tillage, the mightiest hints the highest steamboat navigation. The crassest heathenism fourishes two days in the saddle from noble cathedrals, and the bustling ports are counterpoised by scheduled inland towns where the past lies miraculously preserved like the mummy of saint in crypt In the year 2000, when the Tyrol and the Abruzzi, Dalmatia and Carinthia, have lost their old world character, travellers may be seeking the towns hidden away in the Andes--- Cajamarca, Huancavelica, Andahuaylas and Ayacucho---fo rare bits of lustrous medieval life untarnished by the breath of modernism. ---E.
