ARIZONA.
(By A. F. Bonney, M. D )
Here is where the bustle cf mod
em civilization is rapidly encroach
iag opon the aria! desolation of th
eternal desert ; the law of illusive
perspective, magnificent distances,
wonderfcl productiveness, cactus,
Indians, Mexicans and a type of civ
ization peculiarly its owe ; when a
recurring cycle of progress has taken
up the march of progress where it
was laid down, perhaps centuries
ago, by a vanished race which once
occupied this whole vast territory,
boilt irrigating canals, some of which
serve to carry water to this day,
erected houses, some of great dimen
sions, the most notable of which is
the Casa Graoda (Big House) which
was a ruin when Ooranado, the Span
ish explorer passed through this
country along about 1550, cultivated
the soil, mined copper, gold and
iurqaois, lived-and passed away ;
leaving nothing behind but crumb
ling ruins, buried ollas containing
tbs ashes of their cremated dead, and J
quaint implements and pcttery to
excite our conjecture and wonder.
No one may how know from
' wheuoe carno this lost race, nor
whither they went, our knowledge of
the causes that drove them from their
bornes is iittie better than guess
work. Perhaps Nature, with erup
tions of subterranean fires, scattered
death and desolation over a vast
region, and that ages ago a lost and
forgotten people saw a Pompeii and
Herculaneum. Or foreign invading
warriors ravaged and murdered, and,
flying for safety, did this people
build the houses which .we find
perched in the face of the almost
ieaccessable cliffs of the canons
through which runs the Bonita, the
Black and the Blue ? We find these
ancient hearthstones, and in them
mummies, grain, tools, pottery and
weapons That is all. The history
of their existence is a sealed book
Those invaders, if such there were,
passed also, and after awhile came
the Apache; an undersized, silent,
tireless incarnation of all hellishness
. The soft footed wolf that passes my
campfire in the night as silently as a
dream is not more swift nor noiseless
than the Apache on the trail of white
Hood The mountain lion, famished
to desperation, is not more relentless
when drinking the hot blood of his
prey than this noble Ked Man in
dealing with such unfoitanates as
may have fallen into his hands; and
knowing Injin", scouts, miners,
prospectors and others who stood io
fear of ailing into their merciless
clutches carried a small quantity of
some sure and deadly poison to be
taken when, al hope of escape had to
he aban doced.
And new the Apache is passing i
The government sent missionaries j
among them. Some of the blooming :
peace idiots in the East objected to \
the outfits supplied these diss mina- j
tors of modern civilization, which j
consisted of Springfield ri es, a pair j
of Colts' equalizers (45 cal 6 shot)
and mountain howitzers with explo
sive shelfs, mounted on moles; in
stead of Bibles and Sunday School
literature But Miles and Crook as
' iead missionaries, after injecting a
liberal proportion of the various
tribes with leaden tracts were able
to demonstrate to tbe comprehension
of the aborigine that the United
States is a nation with a big N ; and
for some time now it baa been safe
to sleep outside of a fort without
gluing ones scalp on
And so the Apache is passing
The white man's whiskey, lead and
syphilis, and Nature's smallpox, mea |
alee and pneumonia are rapidly mak
ing good Indians of the worse tribe
of savages the world ever saw
Civilization, as we understand it, the
remnant will never have owing to
their superstitions which no amount j
of education can eradicate. They
wili never enter let alone live in, a
house in which any one bas died, so
a fixed habitation is an impossibility
Their other superstitions are as nam
erons as the varying conditions of
climate, the flora and farina of the
desert, mountain and plain. They
will eat no fish, as water (in this arid
country) is a sacred thing, and ali
that comes from it partakes of its
holiness They will not kill a wolf,
as he is a blood brother, and my
observations lead ma to remark that
tbe only difference between the two
is : tbe wolf walks on foor feet while
his Apache brother walks on but two.
They build tbeir wickiups on the
high messas (table lands) and the
women carry water for domestic par
poses from the river The distance
does not matter, a few rods or a few
miles.
If one of them ie sick and the
white Medicine Man gives them
medicine and tbe firs: dose does not
benefit they will use no more. I
was called in to see an Apache kid
once and found it dying of mem
branous croup, and tried to force
some medicine between its clenched
teeth. I suddenly felt myself jerked
backwards and looking np. saw its
father standing over me with a knife
about a yard long, and be gave me
to understand/in a jargon of Span
ish, Fort English. Apache and the
Sign Language that my trail to the
Happy Hunting Grounds was wide
open if I did not leave the child
alone
It was with a thrill of deep satis
faction that I saw that bot ablaze the
next morning ; they always born a
I hut when any one dies io it ; and as
I sit surrounded with peace, and
plenty, and safety, that knife has
j shrunk to about 6ve inches of handle
and seven inches of blade.
Arizona is a mountainous country
Between the different ranges are
large areas of primeval desert where
saud, the cactus, the wolf and jack
rabbit reign supreme. Here and
there are bits of land under cultiva
tion, by irrigation. This portion, in
which Doctor Green and I have
breathed for a year and a half is the
second largest cultivated area of
land in Arizona The valley is about
t irty five miles long and will aver
age about two miles wide There
are several irrigating canals, and
another, the Enterprise, is being dug.
which when completed, will cover
another 50.000 acres of land. This
is being built by the Mormon people.
Experimenting eliminated, the pro
ducts of thia valley are wheat, corn,
barley, fruits, as apples, peaches,
pears, plums and small berries, and
vegetables of all kinds. The prices
which rule here would drive an east
ern farmer green with jealousy
Corn, wheat and barley are seldom
jess than $1 per buudred Apples
are selling at 6c per pound eggs 35c
per dozen, and are seldom less than
20c. At present the demand ex
ceeds the supply, and prices rule
accordingly
Two crops are generally raised
on one piece of ground When the
wheat or barley is cut a crop of corn
is put in and it generally matures
Two crops of potatoes are raised
and if the people here farmed as hard,
and I must say, as intelligently as
do the people of the East, a 20 acre
ranch in this valley would be the
! next thing to a gold mine. Besides
farming there are but few industries
There are lour flour mills in the
valley, and auother being erected ; a
planing mill, a broom factory, an ice
plant and creamery. The supply of
business houses is really in excess
of the demand, nd I oTten wonder
how they all live.

FOR A GIRL AND $5,000.
T. Allen McQuary, a Young Mis
sourian, Has Circled The World
For H Wife, and is How
Known the World Over as
the
ARKAJffSAW TRAVELER, Jr.
j (From Mountain Grove Piaio Dealer )
"T Alten McQiary, wbo eft Moantaia
Grove. Jo.y 4, '97, on kia trip round the
world for tn Arkansas Girl and 5~e thousand
do'lars, returned here Thursday, Nov. 17,
having successfully made the trip and coo
formed with all the requirements under whicb
be undertook it, arriving two doy8 ahead of
time Saturday evening be delivered au
i a teres tin g lecture on the trials and incidents
of bis 28,0 0 mile journey, to a large aud ap
preciative audience. He met with oumeroc
difficulties aod dangers, but says that the
knowledge of the world thus obtained waa
I itself a suiScient recompense for the hard
ships endured. Ee possesses many creden
tials, relics, etc , which are cone usive evidence
that be actually made the trip, aod as be will
be here for sometime, auyooe may see tnese
articles which are well worth examination
Among the most interesting of them are tbe
signatures of postmasters from MID. Grove
to the Atlantic coast, of the governors ot
Missouri, Illinois, etc., a special passport
signed bj John Sherman, a letter of recom
mendation aod certificate of passage from
Capt. Theopholis Trotter, of Liverpool, oo
whose ship, the Iodraoi, McQaary was carried
through all the foreign countries of note;
letters aod souvenirs from the English gov
ernor of Borneo; postmarks of Spanish,
Egyptian. J apanese and other foreign port
where be want on land a week or two to view
historic plaeeso f note, and study the customs
and conditions of the natives; a certificate
signed by the ship's crew ; a letter of recom
mendation i'rom the English foreman of the
Japan Gazette office, in Yokohama, where
MiQaary set type alongside the tiny-fingered
little Jans; a certificate of date of arrival and
departure 'rom Japan, signed by our
consul-general at that place; and finally
tbe sign t ires of postmasters from the
Pacific coa3t back to Mountain Grove.
After resting himself a few days, Mr.
McQaary proceeded on down to the old
plantation in Arkansaw where he first met
the little g rl who was afterwards the cause
of bis peet liar and perilous journey rouud
this big oil worJo. Just wna took piace
i upon the young traveler's faithful return is
known only to a few intimate friends of tbe
two famili 8 concerned in this modern ro
mance in real life; but the puoiisher cf
McQuary's own 6tory of his trip rooDd the
world, a book of over 200 pages, ful!y illus
trated, in his advertisement now being
placed before tbe reading world, announces
that tbe book will not only tell what occur
red at tbe close of the trio, but will also pub
lisb to the world the whole inside story of bib
engagement to the girl, her name, residence,
family relations, character, accomplishments,
southern peculiarities, etc , etc ; and certain
things of interest about the contract th
dogs, and tbe $5,000, which have never been
told yet. However, all these little secret*,
aa interest! ag as they are bound to be to a
public that has beard so much about this
affair durir.g the last 18 to 20 months, are
but a drop io the backet compared to the
real history of the trip ; not that others have
not made just as long journeys over the world,
bot never bas the globe been circled by ac
Americio youth under such trying and pecu
liar ci rec m s'ar: ces-consequently, it is a
matter of interest io all patriotic citizens of
America to know how he waa received by tb
leading nai iooalties of the world ; and the
more interesting yet because McQuary isa
highly educated, refined and practical writer,
knowing bow to tell bis story io a sensible
and please 31 style Weighing ail these
points in the proper light, we most ackcowi
edge that the book will prove oct only an in
teresting story of love and romance, but *
truthful compendium of historic*! informa
tion on various eurjects and places all over
the world. The nook is being pul oo the
market by Michael S Glenn, a popular and
responsible publisher of Mountain Grove,

price will eventually be $1 50 per copy, be i
making a rm on tbe first edition at SO cents
per copy, by mail, postpaid, direct to par
chasers, it ts predicted that 100,000 copie*
will be sold daring the next six months, ow
