HOW IS THIS? .
Something unique even in these
days of mammoth premium offers, is
the latest effort of'Stafford’s Magazine,
a New York monthly of home and
general reading.
The proposition is to send the Mag
azine one year for one dollar, the
regular subscription price; and in ad
dition to send each subscriber fifty
two complete novels during the twelve
months, one each week.
Think of it. You receive a new
and complete novel, by mail, post
paid, every week for fifty-two weeks,
and in addition you get the magazine
once a month for twelve months, all
for one dollar. It is ap offer which
the publishers can only afford to
make in the confident expectation of
getting a hundred thousand new sub
scribers. Among the authors in the
coming serie are; Wilkie Collins,
Walter Besan , Mrs. Oliphant, Mary
Cecil Hay, Florence Marryat. An
thony Trollope, A. Canan Doyle, Miss
Braddon, Captain Marryat, Miss
Thackery and Jules Verne. If you
wish to take advantage of this unusual
opportunity, send one dollar for Staf
ford’s magazine, aud your first number
of the fifty-two novels (one each week)
which you are to receive during the
year will be sent you by return mail.

1 Representative Loud of this
state has succeeded in getting
through the House a resolution
calling upon the Secretary of the
Treasury for information as to his
reason for not carrying out the
silver purchase .law. T’Ue matter
is certainly a proper subject for
inquiry. During the past several
months the silver purchases have
averaged about 1,000,000 ounces
I ess per month than the 4,500,000
required to be purchased by the
Sherman law.
The mason given by the Secre
tary and the mint authorities for
failure to comply with the law has
been that'the price of silver is fixed
in London and that various offers
of silver to the mint have been out
of conformity to its value thus
fixed. But this is believed b y
friends of silver to be only a pre
text, and the receut practices have
been simply a part of the policy of
the administration to ignore silver
and depress silver values. An in
stance of the methods of the au
thorities is cited by a local paper:
“A large dealer in the precious
metals offered several thousand
ounces of stiver to the mint for
$0.7630, The London quotation
that morning, or its equivalent was
$0.7735. The silver was offered at
the mint for ten mills lessth°n this
equivalent, and the authorities
refused to accept it at Hiis figure.
They made an alternative offer of
$0.75. This, of course, was re
fused, and the silver was sold in
open market for $0.76. A state
ment of these facts was forwarded
to Senator Perkins at Washington.
He immediately sent the letter to
Acting Director of the Mint Pres
ton The reply of the official con
tained a resume of the transaction
and admitted the truth of all the
statements pertaining to it. Dir
ector Preston concludes his letter
by the statement that the depart
ment reserves to itself perfect free
dom of action in the purchase of
silver and the right to fix its price
as it sees tit.”
If the latter statement credited
to the director is correct, it dis
closes an astonishing conception of
his duty under the law. It is not
the office of the mint to bear silver
and “fix the price as it sees fit.”
It is ascertain the normal market
value and pay it. The public have
a right to expect that the mint will
do what it reasonably and legally
can to sustain the value of one of
its money metals.—Mining and
Scientific Press.
The Phoenix Herald says re
ports direct from Washington are
to the effect that Governor Hughes
is making a continued and telling
effort to have the contemplated
order for the abandonment of Fort
Bo wie held in abeyanca The rec
ommendation for it has been made
and the order was about to issue.
Os all the millitary posts in the
territory, Fort Botvie and Fort
Ruaohuca are now the most im
portant, and Fort Bowie especially
so in the way of a check on rene
eade Indians. Governor Hughes
is thorougly familiar with the «ir.n
ation and his efforts should be sub
stantially backed up by the people
of Southern Arizoua. His work
at Washington to ndiove the coun
try of the “Kul" and to retain the
post in question will he of untold
benefit to Southern Arizoua if
successfdl —and it probably will F;
• indeed, encouraging reports cotue
row now.
If t.Us repart of the discovery of
coal Held* in Sonora be accurate it
means much to Arizona, and calls
attention to the necessity of greater
transportation facilkiva to gi*e the
territory an opporUttMty of avail
ing itself of the many natural ad-,
vantages which it possesses. The
opening up of the Colorado river
would do much in thin direction.
At a very snail! co*t it could bn
made navigable to the Gulf of Cali
fornia, so that ocean steamers could
be landed at Yuma during the en
tire y»*ar, thus establishing in Ari
zona a ifloat important shipping
point and mart of trade coniooni
eating with all parts of the world
bj water. This would lead to the
developing of a large amount, of
wealth which today cannot bo
utilized for the want of proper
transportatioa facilities.—Star.
The waste of water by Arizona
irrigators it something ranarltabl*.
In Southern California where wa'er
commands one thousand dollars aa
inch, it is husbanded as if retry
drop were a grain of gold; and so
it is in value. Them laterals, sap
ply ditches, and even main chuals
are laid with cement to prevent
si page; and sometimes they are run
through buried cement or vitrified
pipe, to save evaporation a3 Well.
In Southern Arizona irrigation
water is run in open <jU tehee, and
in most instances the waste water
running away from a place is great
er than would be supplied to a
ranche of like size in Southern
California. There is no reason
why water should not be ea care
fully and economically used here as
in California.—Oasis.
Did it ever strike you how com
placently the man who has a small.
irrigated farm looks opt from under
his own vine and fig tree on finan
cial panics ? If there is any me#
in the world who can live .without
money it is the man with a small
tract of land on which he can turn
the water at will. If ther«f is*
man in the world who is fixed to
get hold of money when money **
scarce it is the mm with & small
tract of land irrigated. He can
live on what he produces, and he
has so many little things to., aell
that he can get money if any one
can. In feet he is nearer inde
pendence than any man on top ol
the earth.—Ex, - 1
If one-tenth of the number of
newly discovered gold mines re
cently reported in Arizona develop
into the bonanzas expected of all of
them, gold will soon become as
plentiful as silver. The prospects
of the yellow metal becoming king
has created a yellow fever epidemic
among the prospeotors, and the
citizen of the territory who does
not own a gold mine now is not in
the swim. Notwithstanding all this
prospective wealth in the dominant
money metal, the people of Arizona
are almost a unit in favor of the
free coimage of silver.—Enterprise.
Herbert Brown, Register of the
Tucson land, office telegraphed his
resignation to Secretly Hoke
Smith on Tuesday. This be
cheerful nows to those whq have
hopes of succeeding )vinv,But
his retirement, the land office loses
an official who will be extreipzly
hard to replace.—Stpck man.
