FINANCIAL. BILL.
In the face of widely varying
opinions on the subject of finance'
the republican majority lias once
more demonstrated its remarka
ble ability to subordinate per
sonal views and preferences to
the opinion of tho majority, and
the most important law of the
session, the compromise finan
cial bill, is the result. Whatever
view ma3T be entertained of the
respective merits of the various
financial theories which found
abundant expression in the course
of the session, few impartial
judges will withhold admiration
for the party discipline which
brought, harmony out of practi
cally irreconcilable, differences
and enacted a law which, though
it may never be called into ac
tion, constitutes an insurance
against recurring monetary
stringencies and consequent
panics:""-
QUARTZSITE RICH IN
ROMANCE AND
' MINERALS. ' ' ' ' .
Throughout all the wondrous
roaches of the seven deserts
there is no section more wierdly
romantic than the Posas valley
and its continus crags., commonly
known by the prospector's appel
lation of "The Quartzsite Coun
try," officially designated the
Plompsa mining district, writes
J. T. Chisholm in the Phoenix
Democrat. The veneration of
. the desert bred for his awful
realm", the admiration of the sen-
- tient for the steel-thewed, inex
orable man whose patient cour
age has conquered this grim land,
becomes a fervor almost religious
'in its intensity as he views the
.region's immobile vastness the
still menace of its sandy sea and
the appalling grandeur of its
mountain walls, riven asunder j
and piled aloft in amorphous
immensity by shrinkage of the
earth-crust and volcanic lift.
The natural magnificence of
this section of Arizona is exceed-
ed in interest only hy its wealth -
of Indian legend, tales of Span
ish exploration and vivid inci
dents of the invasion of gold
seekers from the rest of the
United States who, when Fris
co's golden days of were
not a decade old, came southward
to the great Red River to build
La Pazand its populous tributary
placer camps along the Colorado.
In the Quartxsite basin grows
the Palo Christo, the thorn
wherewith Christ was crowned
at Calvary, existing nowhere
except in Palestine and northern
Africa; hi this district the Lost
Frenchman mine, equally famous
with the Lost Peg Leg mine of
Southern California, still lures
the man with the burro and the Washington. Evidently the po
pick: here in a little graveyard Htical situation in Panama, which
near the town from which the
district takes its name sleeps
forever the man who brought
into this district the camels from
far Asia that the Jefferson Davis
appropriation sent into this land
that the prospector might the
better overcome the waterless
wastes of this land of desolation
and heat mention of the fact
that the- camel is a dead one.
while the. doughty little burro
still continues his imperturbable
That our American rorests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
"by scores of the most eminent, uiedk-al
writers and tutu-hers. Even the untu
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent of the v.'hito race. This informa
tion, imparted freely to the whitts. led

Both the above mentioned medicines are

way, carrying chewing tobacco,
Hour and other necessaries into
the sage-brush, is superfluous
for the wonderment of the ten
derfoot. To the southwest of
tho settlement of Quartzsite a
series of ragged peaks mark the
site of a mine of Indian legend
where silver was secured and
moulded into bullets wherewith
the aborigine lightened the white
man's burden by shooting him
full of the treasure he had come
to Hnd. Sporadically, singly or
in groups, into the little burg of
Quartzsite come the grim and
thirsty dirt-washers with their
little b'ags of dust that carry one
back to the days of Bret Harte
as they throw them on the coun
ter at Scott's or Wilson's to be
weighed and exchanged for
money or supplies. Altogether
it-'i& a renaissance of the roman
tic days of early California,
known to most of us only through
the books of western writers.
Historically the Quartzile qoun
try is anomalous. Penetrated
more than three centuries ago by
Coronado's treasurer-crazed co
horts, touched upon its west by
American miners fifty years since
it yet remains the last of the west
to be reached by the development
that has made of Arizona a mar
vel in the history of mining. Its
rich placer gulches almost have
been exhausted by straying Mex
ican miners and more recently
by their white brethren, yet it is
only within a few months that
the outside world is awakening
to the realization that between
the-Plomosa and Dome ranges
lies one of the most extensive
mineral zones in the west. The
explanation is obvious; until the
advent of the Arizona & Califor
nia "road this country was inac
cessible to any but the cavalry
man and industrial infantryman,
the prospector; and its extensive
ledges were too low in value to
be worked or shipped by primi
tive methods. It is now within
a day's journey of the railroad
tuafc soon will be a link in the
line that spans the continent,
abundance of water has been eng
countered in the vicinity of
Quartzsite, several mines have
made shipments of ore running
high in value, mining experts are
regularly visiting the district,
and it is inevitable that the near
future will behold in the region
another of the many districts
that within a lew years have
made Arizona-a name to conjure
with wherever men may tell of
Mexico.
The American Minister to Pan
ama, Mr. Squiers, has never been
instructed by cable to leave Co
lon by the first steamer for
seemed to have been cleared, for
a time by the position taken by
the United States regarding the
coming elections, is becoming
more complicated every day.
Five of the 25 men who have
been elected to the vice presi
dency have become president,
and in view" of this probability it
behooves the republican party
to select the seco'hd man on the
ticket with the greatest care.
