Congress will meet in 1 session on August 4. So fir from being urged to call congress togeth er at an early day, th>» president is assured by his immediate advisors as well as by vis'ting democrats from a distance, that the time has been most fitly chosen. The president's announcement, it is»gre<d on every hind has already had an excellent effect on the country. The outflow of gold has in a measure been check checked, - ed, checked, the leading banks are organizing for .mutual and general protection and monejed men hoth east and west are plucking up confidence again. Local influences are at work supplementary to these The president himself is bringing to bear upon senators and representa representatives - tives representatives the necessity of prompt reme remedial - dial remedial financial legislation, and these influences cannot be expected to hastily bear fruit. Some of the ablest advocates of Mr. 'Cleveland s financial views are now abroad on the way to Europe. An irrigation meeting, the prin principal - cipal principal object of which is to consider the problem of water storage, has been called to convene in Phoenix at the opera house on the 15th of July. The call for the meeting confines those entitled to partici participate - pate participate to residents of the Salt River valley. The Tribune would respect respectfully - fully respectfully suggest to the gentlemen hav having - ing having the matter in charge, to make it a Territorial affair. This ques question - tion question of water storage is one that is of vital importance to all sections of Arizona, and is at present engag ing the earnest attention of those who are in any way interested in the progress of the Territory. If the invitation is made general to all parts of Arizona it is more than likely that there would be a large, attendance from the other oounties oounties - Florence - - Florence oounties - Florence Tribune. Don't forget that the way to ere ate hard times is to hide away every dollar that you can get. Hold fast to it and urge everybody else to do the same. Don't pay your debts, sr that your creditors may not be able to pay theirs, and with little or no money in circulation you may bo able to bring about times so ''hard" that quartz bran will be used for flour. Chinese money is made square with a hole in it to be strung on a wire,, in a nation of non-progressive, half halfstarved - starved halfstarved misers. American money i s made round, made to roll and be kept rolling, constantly agitating the channels of a healthy circula circulate - te circulate and aiding in the happiness of all. We shall soon see how many there are of these Chinamen born in America. - Ex. With the increased energy in gold mining which has been iucited by the low price of silver, Arizona is rapidly changing her place to the first rank of gold producing regions. The great quantities of gold coming from the Harqua Hal a district and the discovery and working of even a better gold bearing district in the Superstition mountains, together with the revival of mining in snch old gold producers as the Vultnre, Vekol, Peck, etc., and the new re region - gion region of White Hills, will no <lo»;b> measure up to four nr five times the amount produced the last year, and even yet we are merely on the threshold of our importance as min mineral - eral mineral producers. When silver be becomes - comes becomes worth mining Arizona will some day astonish the world with her out put. - Herald.

To* lay. Rise! If the Past detain you, Her sunshine and storms forget; No chains so unworthy to hold you As those of a vain regret. Sad or bright, it is lifeless ever. Cast its phantom arms away, Nor look bavk but to learn the lesson Os a nobler strife to day. The future has deeds of glory, Os honor - God grant it may; But your arm. will never be stronger Or the need so great as to-day. The congressional committee sent, out by the central government to investigate Arizona and New Mex ico to see if these far-off satrapies are sufiiciently civilized to be ad mitted into the Union, should be invited to visit Prescott. While the Courier is not in love with the spirit which prompted the sending of these gentlemen out here, all fitting courtesies should be shown them when they arrive, and a visit to Prescott - the Athens as well as the mining hub of Arizona - would go far toward causing them to make a favorable report. Should they be suffering from the free silver ague, no effort should be spared to show them that gold mines largely predomirate in Arizona and her proper classification is a gold region which is a fact. They should also be shown that there is far less crime and immorality in proportion to the population in Arizona than there is in sections inhabited by people who have caused this smelling committee to be sent out to stick their enquir enquiring - ing enquiring snouts into our affairs. Won Wonder - der Wonder what smelling committee in investigated - vestigated investigated the original thirteen colonies to find out whether they were lit for self-government or to so-government and establish a great nation 1 Arizona today is peopled by an identical class of hardy pioneers as those who first settled the eastern cc.ist of Ameri Ameri| - | Ameri| c.a. It really makes a horse-sense ; I man very tired to think over these l J matters. There, was nothing off offcolor - color offcolor about sending Blount out to investigate Hawaii, but to think that native-born citizens of the United States are to be compelled to take the same medicine from the same spoon is rather discouraging. - Prescott Courier.

Among the Vines. Early in the week 'Gel. Harley Fry hitched up the tvo nags and started on a »rip of busim-ss, health and pleasure to the S indy an 1 tie mines of the Aubrey district. Ho brought back with him a number of tine specimens of gold, silver and copper ore and is enthusiastic over the mineral showing of that section and the hospitality of the people along the Sandy. The Copperhead mine owned by Dr. E W. Smith, Ed. Williams and Ed. continues to produce a fine lof. nf rich ore. It will be renumbered that the owners had a lot of ore from this mine worked at the samp sampler - ler sampler a couple of weeks ago that sampled over SSOO to the ton and they now have another lot out. E. Ogden and Jdm Barnes are taking $450 gold ore from the Ben Butler mine and working it in an arastra. John B. Whitfield is working tht Compulsion mine and has made a strike of ore that witt run S4OBO $e the ton. Th ; s body of ore was un- , covered close to old working on the Horn Silver and where it had been walked over for years, tint 'there it was in plain' sight waiting to be clairne d. McWrights mill is dosed down pending a sale to some Chicago parties. The Colonel says ttlhe Aubrey district is bound to come to the front, that all it needs is men to take hold and work. - Mohave Mi Miner. - ner. Miner. Doctor A. J.

ThejT^ - report the plan entirely feasible and say that an immense body of' water can be stored there at tom tomparatively - paratively tomparatively a small cost. A daui 200 feet across a narrow cft&nit will back up the water for 19J miles up the river, storing sufficient water to irrigate the entire Gila valley, Dr. Chandler contemplates taking out two eanals from the proposed reservoir, running, one on the south side of the Gila, covering all the fine extent of land in thq great Casa Grande valley, and thy other on the north side, watering all the rich and fertile fruit ao§ south and southeast of Mesa City. - Oasis. ® m - - - - - - - - A pretty spectacle: the United States sending a commission to Eu Europe - rope Europe to ask that country if we may coin our own silver into oar owa money for our own use. It is a braen insult to the patriotism and independence of the fathers of the revolution. It is an insult to every - everypatriot patriot everypatriot in America. Where is the boasted manhood of our country that it does not rise up arrd rebuke the that dare do this thing? Some people have no manhood. You might pour a pint of lard on their head and let a hound dog lick it off, and they wouldn't resent the insult. - Ex. Cattle haven't wintered well in Utah. There has been considerable I loss.
