( llgnntlo Mining Compnny. Tbe organization of the Douglas Consoli dated Placer Mining aud Milling company lias juit completed nnd articles of Incorpora tion filed. This company has n capital of 8.000,000 shares at $1 each. The property of this company is located on Muddy , Douglas , Ueavnr and Ijiiko crocks , nnd consists of aboiltfl.OOO acres of placer ground. It lays on Douglas creek from Muddy down over 1.000 rods below Devil's gato. The company has Just purchased 20,000 feet of lumber of tbo Clark-l'olton company , nnd a wagou loud of provisions and a company of six men have left Luramle for tbo grounds to begin operations. Tbo first work- will bo the con struction of sluices nnd other crollminary work. Tlio Humes will bo constructed ou the grounds to bed rock. These will have to bo constructed along the entire property nnd will bo eight or ton miles in length. Mr. Itoots , tbo general manager , will go to Denver at once and will send teams up from that place with tbo necessary supplies nnd machinery to put in tbo contemplated hydraulics. The Idea Is to lav the founda tion for the locating of a hydraulic elevator ou the grounds next season. This alone would cost f iao.000. The zeal of the men taking bold of the enterprise Is manifested In the llrst step taken. They liavo secured n building in Liaramio nnd propose to place on the market a certain amount , of stock as BOOH ns they occupy their ofllco ami give the pcoplo an opportunity to aid tbom in the de velopment of tbo mines. Tbo principal portion tion of the stonk will bo taken by parties in Denver and iu tbo oast. It will bo soon , however , that the company is on a stable footing from what they are doing. A Niitlonnl Snnltnrlum. The United States is likely to make a great national sanitarium out of Hot Springs , S. D. , says tbo Sioux Falls Argus-hoador. The waters nro known to possess valuable medicinal qualities nnd some very remarka ble cures have been effected by them. Some weeks ngo the matter was called to the attention of tbo authorities of tbo National Soldiers homo at I-ioavcnxvorth , Kan. A pre liminary Investigation was made and , as n result , twenty-eight of tbo most obstinate cases weru seift to Hot Sprlncrs under the clmrgo of oDlccrs. At tbo end of tbo llrst wcelc thn government surgeons reported , in a majority of cases noting considerable im provement. Of the second week's report tbo Hot Springs Star says : A summing up of the results of the second week of the test of our waters by tbo dotnll from the Lcavonworth National Solulors liomo Is inoro than satisfactory. Dr. Jen- mugs tells us that every man who was re ported ns In.provlng last week continues to improve , aud of the four on which no Im provement was noticed In ? t week , two are much better this week. Orre case of loco- motor ataxla where the man was not able to walk wbcn bocnmo , Is now walking to his bath the same ns the others. This Is re markable , ns tboro is no record In any medi cal Journal of such a case , nnd tbo doctors themselves think that It will not bo perma nent , although the Star hopes it may. Alto gether , tbo results of tills test are inoro tlmn satisfactory nud wo believe no board or committee can come to any other conclusion than thnt Hot Springs U Just the place for a national sanitarium. The fact must bo re membered , too , thnt this test U being made right through tbo boated term , the most try ing and enervating ou any class of invalids of tbo wbolo year. Throe cheers for our waters 1 Valuable 1'lacorn. Angus Mclutosb of Monpollor , Idaho , well known to all old-timers In Wyoming , having been clerk of Sweotwntor county for sovornl years during the seventies , reports n very valuable Ibid of placer gold on Green river , In Uinta county , between Ilorso creek und Beaver creek , about 12r > miles north of Grcon river , on tbo Oregon Shorj Uno. Mr. Mclntosb , ns almost everybody knows , Is nn old prospector , having worked this same country at tbo head ot Green river periodically since 1871 , and has known that gold Is plentiful nil along the river from Cottonwood - tonwood up to the mouth of Denver , but heretofore all thnt has been found was Hour gold , so tine that it could not bo profitably gathered by any known proccus then in uso. This , however , Is coarse enough for sluicing. Ho thinks tbls will prove to bo the most liii | > ortant llud In tbo atato for years. An other important fact in connection witb this 11 ml Is tbo case witn which thesu diggings may bo reached. A good wagou road ex tends all the way from Grcon river to Opal 1 to tbo place where tbo gold Is found , with i abundance of good water nud grass nil tbo way. There nro also < ; omfortablo road I houses at convenient distances nil along the route. ' \yntorlunbunilanco for hydraulics can be ) brought fro 11 iloavor crook , n distance of six to eight miles , nnd timber lu unlimited < iuau- tltii'.s for building nnd mining purposes can be found within the eamo distance , Tbo Im portance of this discovery can hardly bo estimated. Iniinront 'I.o. " The authorities at Hosobud agency have eontu detail of Indian police to the northern border of the reservation to patrol the country along Wliltu river and prevent cat tle bolomliig to white stockmen straying to the Indlnn lands. The notice , who nro mounted , will cnro fully watch tbo entire border , Keeping n constant watch and turning - ing back any cattle thnt may attempt to cot across the river to tbo reservation , Ilorotoforo it has been the practice of some . of thn stockmen to give portions of tholr herds into tbo clmrgo of Indians to bo herded ou the Indian lands , but the government has recently decided to nut n stop to this prac tice. Accordingly nil cattle found on tbo reservation which belong to the stockmen will bo either confiscated or driven to the north sldu of ttio stream of tbo reservation. This determination on tbo part of tbo government will result disastrously to the schemes of some of tbo cattlemen who have given largo herds of tholr cattle Into the keeping of Indians , Kivliikr It out that tbo cattle belonged to poor Lo. Tbo agency authorities nro authorized to buy from the Indians nil surplus cattlo.

The most recent of the many curiosities which the plains hnvo given up Is n petrified lemon , It was found by Mr. Harmon of the mining tcnm of Harmon ft Klrst of Lnramlo. Ho was coming In across the plains when ho picked up the curiosity. 1'otrlfactlons are not so very rare in this section. Uoth vcg ctnblo nnd animal mnttor preserve so well bore that complete petrifaction of ten follows. This lemon , however , is n perfect specimen ot the changing of organic matter Into stone. It would bo Idontlllod by any ono Instantly unon sight as a lemon. There is some Iron stain upon it , otherwise its color Is well pro- served.

From the Atlantic & Pnclflo railroad it Is not hard to roach ono of the greatest of natural curiosities the petrified forest of Arizona. Much the nearest point is the little - tlo station of Hillings , but there nro the scantiest accommodations for the traveler. Only n tntlo south of the track at that point ono may sea a low , dark ridge , marked by n single' cottouwnod tree. Walking thither ( over n vnlloy so alive with jack rab bits that there is some excuse for the cow boy's declaration to a writer for St. Nicholas that "you can wulk clear across on their backs 1" ) ono soon reaches the northern edge of the forest , which covers hundreds of sqtmro miles , Unless you nro nioro bar- doncd to wonderful sights than I nm , you will almost fancy yourself lu some enchanted spot. You seem to stand on the grass of a gigantic kaleidoscope , over whoso spark ling surface ttio sun breaks In infinite rainbows. You nro nnklo deep in such chips ns I'll warrant you never saw from any other woodpile. What do you think of chips from a trco that are rod , moss agate nnd nmothyst , nnd smoky topaz , and ntrato of every hue ? Such nro the marvelous splinters that cover the ground for miles hero around tbo hugo prostrate trunks some of them tlvo feet through from which t lino's patient ax has hewn them.

Ono can get also mngntllccnt cross-sections of a whole trunk BO thin as to bo portable and showing every vein and "year ring , " and even the bark. There is not a chip on all these miles which Is not worthy n place , just ns it is. in the proudest cabinet nnd , when polished , I know no other rock so splendid. It Is ono of the hardest stones in the world , and takes and keeps au incomparable polish. A Hie Mlnlnr Ural. The largest deal In gold mining property over consummated In the state has been closed here , wherein the Kldora Gold Min ing & Milling company , limited , purchased tbo Plowman group of gold mines in Nell dis trict , Idaho , and other valuable gold proper- tics no.tr lioisc , the consideration being $100,000. The articles of Incorporation of the company have been Hied with the secretary of state. The stock of the company Is divided Into 1,000 shares of the par value of $100 , all paid lu. The board of directors of the company are : 1C. P. Plowman , Boise , president nnd manager ; Harry F. Parker , Seattle , secretary ; Fred Page Tuakin , Seattle , treasurer ; T. D. Call Han and Jonas W. Brown , Boise. The company also con trols a sawmill nnd water rights. The latter will bo used to furnish power for dynamos t run the machinery of the stamp mill. This group of mines is the only developed prop erly lu tbo Nell district. It contains an Im mense vein of .free gold , assaying from $13 to ? 70. Two hundred men will bo employed within six months , awakening a now era of gold mining in this part of Idaho. Snml ns Well us Gold.

Grand Island rejoices greatly because it now has telephone communication with Omaha and other Nebraska towns. Whllo working on a thresher near Kim Creek , Frank Ware was struck ou the head by a bolt Hying from the machlno and was badly injured. A steam threshing machlno broke through a brldgo near Madison , falling sixteen feet into a stream , and ono of the men riding on it was severely scalded by escaping steam. Whllo a man named Kuolllng was starting a thrcslng machine , near Pawnco City , the brake slipped and the lever struck him in the face , making nn ugly wound. If the blow had been received n half inch higher the victim would have boon Instantly killed. The Seward canning factory will soon open its summer campaign , and will put up about 500acres of swoot.corn.

The twolvth annual reunion of tno Pion eer and Old Settlers association of Dakota county will bo hold August : U on the shores of Crystal lake , midway between Dakota City and South Sioux City. This is gener ally a gala day for Dakota county , ttio citi zens turning out en masse to commemorate the heroism of the pioneers. John Bergen , an Otoo county farmer , was awakened by his dogs the other night just in time to sco a man run out of tils barn and take to fflo woods. Bergen shot at him thrco times , but failed to bring him to the ground. On going into the barn ho found ono of his horses saddled and another bridled. Ho has no clue to the attempted horse theft.

Ho signalled to bo arawn up , but just before reaching the top ho lot his hold on the rope go and fell to the bottom ot the well. His lifeless body was rescued by moans of grapple hooks that caught in his clothing. Ho was single , and owns two or throe farms iu Custor county. Colorado. The force of the Golden Fleece was In creased 50 per cent last week. The principal product is gold. The prollts of the Summit mlno and mill. Cripple Creek , during Juno and July were $3,000 and , r 00 respectively. A largo mill Is to be erected at Dlmiult Gold camp , near Aspen , where 150 men are now mining and prospecting. A rich find of gold-bearing ere is reported from the Twin lakes district , near Loadvillo. It Is on a claim owned by Messrs. Alloa and Thompson. The Ute and Ulay management announce that those mines will bo kept going until at least after congress meets and decides ttio fate of silver. It is said that the tunnel of the Anaconda Gold Mining company will bo pushed on Into rich mineral immediately after the annual meeting next month. Negotiations nro progressing for the re sumption of work at the Bimetallic smelter by a sliding scale of wages. This will give employment to 150 of the men now Idle at Loadville. A decision was reached in thc'lnnd oOIcn last week continuing Wtlletts and Miinnix of Denver iu possession of the Womack placer. There were a number of squatters who claimed ownership and asked for a re hearing in thccasolast March , on the ground that the patent taken out by Thomas L. Bryan and transferred to Wllletts and Man- uix was not valid because the land was not mineral land , and that if it was the neces sary work had not been dono. Both these points were overruled. Reports coining in from the now Turkey creek district southwest of Colorado Springs indicate continued strikes of good 010. One of the latest of these is in the Copper King and of n class of ere always readily market able. The shaft Is only down four and a half icot , but an assay shows ? 01 In gold , silver and coppar , This assay gives ! i. > 0 pounds of copper to the ton. The vein , which was only an inch wldo at the surface and ran $12 , has widened out to eight inches. The property is owned by , Colorado Springs parties. The Dakutnu. Cutting wheat and oats has begun In many counties. The pharmacists of South Dakota met last week at Yankton. Deadwood Is to have a slaughter house which will bo ono of the flnesl in the west. Passenger service on the Elkborn narrow guago running between Deadwood and Cen tral has been discontinued to the joy of the hackmen , who will now reap n harvest. The report from Grand Forks Is that the farmers of that county seeded 50,000 acres less to wheat this year than last , and put that amount to other grains. If this Is true it is encouraging for crop diversification. The sheep men in the vicinity of Pierre mot at the court liouso aud orgauUed an as sociation to bo known as the Central South Dakota Sheep association. The object of the organization Is to protect tholr rapidly increasing sheep Interests. Artesian wells are the order of the day in South Dakota and the Irrigation problem Is thus rapidly adjusting Itself. The bank of mother earth may issue a currency of water but it is the grcaso that keeps the whooli going on farm and pasture. A carload of the Denver minors passed through Flandrom seeking farm employ ment. Nearly-100 of them reached Wooil- socket last Friday , and all but 50 found work. The Milwaukee road was carrying them through free and assisting them in finding employment. George Gctman of Warner whllo drilling an artesian well on his farm struck a vein of coal at a depth of 137 foot. Tim vein is estimated to bo from four to seven feet lu depth and is considered very valuable , The coal has been tested and Is of eood quality , Mr. dolman proposes to further dovolopo his mliio. Another artesian well , to bo used for irri gation purposes , has been sunk near Huron. It is 930 feet deep , 750 of which is 0-inch bore , and 180 feet 4if inch. The flow is nearly 1,000 gallons per minute , aud pressure a trifle over 100 ] K > unds per square inch. C. S. Fftssott , engineer of irrigation , pro nounces it ono of the best wells In the state.

The Big Horn country is to bo explored bv n party of men from Omaha with a view to ascertaining how many acres of land can bo put under water in that region. Ninety thousand trout from the state butchery have been put in the streams of Natrona county. It is thought they will thrive thcro us the water U purely of moun tain origin. A flouring mill Is now under construction at Otto. The farmers in that vicinity and on the Gray Bull aud Stinking Water have sown enough wheat to keep the mill run ning the year around , J , J.

THROUGH A TELESCOPE. 2tinrmuii4 Cr.itor * and Other Curious I'on- turnn to Bo Soon nn the Moon. Of late years scientific persons hnvo icon studying the t-atolllto moat ntton- ivoly through telescopes and have ! ormcd several rather contradictory no- ions respecting it. Ono of the moat idvanced ideas on the subject is hold by Prof. G. 1C. Gilbert of the geological survey. Ho believes , according to the ashington Star , thivt the lunar orb is rmdo up of over so liiany little moons which once upon a time Hocked about the earth. Prof. Gilbert says that the side of the moon visible from the cacth bettor mapped jtban is the con tinent of North , ' America. It is of just about the same sizo. The surveyor , looking through the most powerful telescope ) ' is still sev eral hundred miles away , and so his nap does not roprosolit'tho smallest fea tures. On the othorthand , as all parts are easily accessible , there ia no region remaining-unoxploreAii The man of the ' moon shows a numb'or of great plains with dark lloors ; also a score of moun tain chains and a few trough-llko val leys remarkable for , their straightnoss. There arq < . likowLo _ jvoral thousand circular bowl-dhapodj icavitios , which most observers have considered to bo craters of extinct volcanoes. ' These era- tors have usually a circular rim of cliffs' ivhich rise to a height of 5,000 to 10,000 foot. Sometimes there is a hill i-iHinir out of the middle. There are from 20- , " 000 to 30,000 such orators visible to the eye with the aid of a llrst-rato tolosoopo. This would seem to bo an astonishing number of volcanic craters for so small an area. In North America , with about the same extent of surface , the remains o only about 3,000 volcanoes nro found. As the same tlmo the great majority of such romuins on this conti nent have been wiped out or buried by geologic changes. It is probable that every part of the United States , Canada and Mexico has had active volcanoes atone ono time or another. The craters might now be as numerous ns those on the moon if there had been neither water nor air to attack them. But Prof. Gil bert and these whri coincide with his thinking on this subject are conlldont that the bowl-shaped cavities on the surface of the moon are not volcanic orators. In fact , they reject this idea altogether , conceiving It to bo untenable on grounds too elaborately scientific for brief quotation horo. According to their opinion , these peculiar features of the lunar landscape were originally pro duced by the impaotof little moons which struck the orb of night. If any projectile - tile bo made to hit a plastic body with suitable velocity the scar produced by the shock has the form of a crater. With the right sort of material , size of projectile and velocity of impact , such a crater may bo made to have a central hill. hill.Tho The craters on the moon are enor mously bigger than any on the earth. The largest ono on this globe has a diameter of tUteon miles. But this is a pigmy compared with the biggest lunar crater , which measures 800 miles across. However , the clills which dellno the edges of volcanic crutorw are composed of material thrown out from the vont. Inasmuch as the attraction of gravita tion on the moon is only ono-sixth as strong as on the earth , bombs of a given size and substance , having the HUIIIO initial velocity , would ily six times as far and the clilT formed of them might stand six times an tall. So a lunar orator might bo six times ms broad and six timed as ( loop as a cm tor on the earth without exciting wondur. The biggest craters on the moon range from 8,000 , to 15 000 feet in depth ; tlio.so ' on the earth from 2,000 4,000 feot. 'So , according to thin belief , it ia uoco&uu'y to consider the moon us a body tformorly bom barded by nrojootiloaii That the tatter might have been tired by terrestrial vol canoes was at ono tinio suggested , but the notion that such Itdmbd could ily far enough to get beyond' the limits of the earth's attraction ia r ardud us absurd , The fact is concoivcd.liujbo that the pro- iuotlloH in question wijrg actually moonlets - lots of greater or lusajdhnoiiriionH , which ages ago may have surrounded the earth in uwurms. It iu imagined that there was a ring of small muwns which finally broke up. The preBu'ijJlunar | ! orb hap pened become a center of aggrega tion. Thus having gene into the buwi- ncHB of collecting moonluts it grow In inrH.s until it attained itn present dimen sions. The earth , ill no , was bcarrod all over by moonlets which struck it , but the murks have boon obliterated by the processes which continually reconstruct and remodel the surface of the planet.

WONDERS WROUGHT BY IRRIGATION Tritn rormntlon of the recoil Vnlley In New Mexico n Mftrr * ! In Scope nnil Iteiulti The Town of Kddj nd Its SurrounilltiKt. , Tor. , Auff. 3. [ Correspondence of Tun QBE , ] After spending some weeks In Santa Fo I took atrip to Kdtly , passing down the valley of the Hlo Graudo to El Paso , thcneo In an easterly direction through Texas to the town of I'ecos , and thence northward to my destination. The country through which I traveled Is of rough , irreg ular surface and In many places Is n hot , dry , barren waste. Eddy Is the county seat of Eddy county , which lies In the southeastern part of Now Mexico. It Is situated on n level piece ot land , on the vtost stdo of the Pecos river , near the geographical center of the county. Though only three years old , it U a town of much nioro than ordinary thrift and energy. A splendid throe-story brick court house , n nmssivo brlek school house , a 00,000 hotel , furnishing accommodation for nearly a hundred guests , ono national bank , n largo number of stores carrying heavy stocks of merchandise , several livery stables , ono dally newspaper , two weeklies , three diuretics ornately finished , sixty-eight mile * of graded streets , 130 nillos of Irrigating ditches for watering lots , yards ami grounds along and abutting upon the streets , ninety- 'our miles of shade trees planted trom IB to ! 0 feet apart along each side of all the irlnclpal streets , the present terminus f the I'ecos Valley raljroad , soon to bo ox- ended northward some 200 mlloi and con- lectcd with the Atchlson , Topeka & Santa Fo , a system of publlo water works upon ivhlch much labor Is now being done ; also -n , Ice factory , an electric light plant , boot ugar factory , a Hour mill and n planing mill low in contemplation , and n population of ivor 2,000 wldo-awako people , proud of their title city , hopeful of aud enthusiastic over ho prospect of its future development and trugtjliiiR heroically to make Its growth rapid , continuous and substantial , are .mong . the many things which attract a traugor's attention and go far toward ox- ilthighls admiration. lt' u Wotulor or Kntorprlie. The width of its streets , the earo with which they wore laid out , the attention given to their improvement , the largo num ber of shade luces planted along them , now doing much for their boautillcation , the costliness and substantial character of its business structures , the general size , neat ness nnd attractiveness of Its residences , the efforts put forth to adorn the grounds sur rounding them and the measures taken to build up nnd preserve a pure , healthy , ro- llneil , moral sentiment among its people are all matters lu which , for Its ago , the city of Eddy surpasses all other towns I have over seen or Known. The starting of the town In the first place n the arid region where it is located , to gether with the gigantic enterprises simul taneously entered upon to reclaim the coun try Immediately surrounding It , displayed an amount of nerve rarely it ever equaled , and , so far , the success of the venture 1ms been almost a marvel. It would not , perhaps , bo too much to say that EUdy has already be come , so to speak , a charming little munici pal flower < iuietly diffusing the fragrance of > i noble example ainoncr all the people who naturally full within the range of Its iiillu- onco. Tno cxolanatlon of all this will appear obvious from the facts heroin alter stated. I personally traversed the valley of the Pecos river from u point six miles above or north to a point seventeen miles below or south of the town , and there fore saw , in till probability , every thing of In terest the trip was liltoly to unfold to a stranger's observation. Three years ago , between the points thus indicated , there were not more than a half do/en dwelling houses nor more than thirty inhabitants , while at the present time there are about 150 such nouses , excluding these in the town , and a total population of about 2,800. , includ ing the people in town. Prior to and ns late as thrco years ago a single furrow had never been plowed along the valley between ttio points named , while DOW about 9,000 acres are under cultivation und several thousand more urq awaiting the coming of the hus bandman. For many miles , both above and below Eddy , agriculture , horticulture and fruit-raising are being prosecuted with un usual vigor and success. Corn , wheat , bar ley , oats , rye , millet , alfalfa , clover , timothy , cotton , hemp , sorghum , rlblon cane , pota toes , sweet potatoes , peanuts , onions , beets , sugar boots , carrots , turnips , radishes , beans , peas , popper , cauliflower , cabbage , water melons , muskmelons , cantaloupes , pump kins , squashes , cucumbers , toma toes , strawberries , grapes , poaches , apricots , prunes , apples , quinces , llgs and cherries nave all boon grown ; and many of them , so far as tlmo has boon suflleicnt to afford a test , have been cultivated with ex cellent results. But by what means has all this boon accomplished in such a dry , hot , uninviting region , and that , too , within so short a period ? To such a question my answer would bo "Irrigation principally Ir rigation and the Pecos river the source of water supply. " ' Wlmt Irrlcittlon Has Done. \ \ Ithln the territory of Now Mexico alonot It is estimated that water sufficient may betaken taken from the Pecos river to irrigate 400,000 acres. This is equivalent to u strip sixty- three miles long and ton miles wldo. This water is made available for irrigating pur poses ny the construction of strong dams acrosi the river channel , the formation of immense reservoirs ana the digging of an nlaborata system of canals , laterals and sub- laterals for Its distribution whenever aud wherever needed , The Pecos Irrigation and Improvement company has completed und In contemplation four great dams across tin river , an equal number of reservoirs , IB miles of canals , 273 miles of main laterals and 'JOO miles of sub-laterals. The persons moat largely interested In these extensive enterprises are showing their faith by tholr works. Several of them have put muny hundreds of acres under cul < tivutlon. Some few of thorn will have expended ponded $50,000 and $100,000 each , and some of them oven nioro in preliminary work upon tnolr lands before they can possibly as much as expect a single cent of profit from tliol Investments , They seem to havn no doubter or mlbglvlnga about future results , No does their confidence rest upon any shadowy , uncertain basis. A few examples will suf ilce to show the phenomenal fertility o Pecos valley soil under irrlga lion. A Hold of rye was acwci : In September , 1891.It was cu in June , Ib'.U ' , and thereafter but prior to thi last of September , 18U.J , two crops ot mlllo were raised on the same ground , thus mak ing In all three crops within twelve months The entire product of the three crops sold foi $04 per ucro. In 1BUJ a farmer took forty-twc tuns of nay at ono cutting from twonty-threi acres and sold it for $14 per 'on. Anethe farmer raised 23,000 pounds of onions on ; single acre und sold them for $500 ou the ground where they grow. Another Hold $ liO ! worth of melons from half an aero. These instance's , doubtless , go beyond the average of general results , but they show how as tounding some things may be , whllo yet re maining within the limits of ( xisslbility. Amount * Almujt to Creation. Truly Irrigation , under Intelligent control , is a mighty agency for reclaiming such a country as the Pecos valloy. Through Its assistance man seems invested with a power almost creative. Ily its aid ho stops upon u piece of parched barren land where nothing is visible but a vast area of scalding sand and says : "I et there bo life , " and Immedi ately vegetable llfo of Infinite variety springs into vigorous existence vtlicn the animating and reanimating streams of watar begin to ilow und bathe the burning soil , the scene is soon changed. Flowers bogln to grow. Yards are carpeted in emerald green , vines creep and clumber and send forth their caressing tcndrlU , Shrubs mingle with roses and in their silent breathings exhale - halo a sweet perfume.

The arid vtnsto be comes A wealthy , cultivated , prosperous country , and the once neglected , uninhabited region becomes the place where civilization mars.hal.1 her numerous forces mid witnesses her subllmcst triumphs. Though the Pecos vnlley three or four years ago w&s nothing nioro than ft long , Irregular strip of parched country , where the sun seems never to hnvo shone except In anger , and upon which oven the refreshing clouds refused to cast a cooling shadow , she now , under the redeeming power of irriga tion , gives promlso of becoming the parndlso of Nor/ Mexico and one of the garden spots of the United States , Mav thn promise the thus gives 11 ml an early fulfillment , and may the poopio with whom she Is populated llvo long in thn enjoyment of the blessings she has In.atoro for those who cast tholr lot within her borders , help reclaim her from her desolation nnd seek her as a lasting homo. J. T. At REJECTING SILVER. A Crrclltnr .Mny Decline thn White Metal , but Ho < ! nmiut Kocovrr at I.TUT. It is reported at the Treasury ilopart- mont , says the Philadelphia Ledger cor respondent , thatcortnin retail dealers lu Hrooklyn hnvo rofusoil tonrcopt silver dollars in payment for merchandise , and that others , alarmed by this action of the larger dealers , ImvoHhown a disposi tion to decline to receive fractional sil ver. A creditor may refuse to accept silver in settlement of a debt , hut such refusal would ho fatal in case an action to recover the debt should he brought. The standard silver dollar is full legal tender in the payment of all debts' , pub llo and private , and fractional silver olns are legal tender in sums of $10 and indor. While the creditor , therefore , nay decline to receive silver ho cannot ecovor at law in any other form of iionoy. There is only ono form of government iionoy that is not full legal tender. L'ho holder of standard dollars may do- iosit such dollars with the treasurer or ny assistant treasurer of the United itntos , in sums of not less than $10 , und ccolvo thorofor cortillcatos , but these ortiflcatos have not the full legal ten- .or quality. The law provides that such ortillcatoH "shall bo receivable for cus- rOms , taxes and all public duos , nnd ivhon so received may bo reibsuod. " While it is not specifically pro vided that silver cortillcatos shall jo legal tender in payment of pri vate debts , practically they have all the advantages of full legal tender money , jocauso they may bo exchanged at any lubtroasury for silver dollars , nnd may jo paid the government for any form of imblio duos. This virtually maintains ilvor certificates on a parity with full iCgal tender money , nnd practically makes them full legal tender. No man ivould refuse the tender of $1,000 in sil- er cerlilicatos in payment of a debt vhen such refusal would enable the lobtor to force upon him that number of ilvor dollars , the aggregate weight of ivhich is nearly fifty-nlno pounds. A Story of Insinuation. Detroit Free Press : "Marrying , " re- narked the colonel , who was a bachelor , 'makes a man bravo. " "I don't about that " kno\y , doubtfully opliod the major , who had boon mar ried throe times ; "I don't know about .hat. . None but the bravo dare marry , .hough , I'm sure ot that. " "My original statement stands unro- uted , " said the colonel , ' 'and for further corronoration lot mo cite the case of mith. " There was a little laugh , none the loss significant on account of its size , for all Iho party' know what a woman Smith iad for a wife. "Now , I remember , " continued the colonel , "when Smith married. The bride was fair , and Smith was in love , and ho brought her out to a post in the ivost , where a monthly Indian flght was the rule rather than the exception. The lirst year wo could hardly drag Smith out on an expedition , and if there was a bunco for a light I'll swear that Smith acted almost cowardly. The next year 10 braced up a bit more , and after ho iad baon married five years ho was per fectly willing to light a whole army of oilskins and stay on their trail for six nonths if necessary , and never say a word about returning homo. " The colonel looked up quietly as ho hoard another little laugh. "Smith has been married twenty years now , " ho wont on ' 'and I am glad that Indian fighting iff over , for I really believe - liovo Smith would be only too anxious to go right out now and exterminate every aborigine between the Mississippi and the Pacific. " This time the colonel smiled himself and bowed profoundcdly as Mra. Smith passed by.
