The Populist platform at the recent Phoenix convention endorsed the Omaha platform with revisions. They demand immediate remonetization of silver, adoption of the 16 to 1 gold to silver ratio, oppose debt bonds, and favor initiative and referendum to curb corruption. They seek cross-party cooperation in Lincoln for free silver, irrigation development, and oppose corporate domination of water. A satirical remark contrasts editors and preachers in a rural exchange.
In Pearce Arizona the mining camp is advancing with the Pare mine shaft down 115 feet, and nearby claims in good ore. Local figures Johnston, Fitts, Chat, Huddy, Hazlewood and others are active, with new houses and shops rising.

Additional notes cover mining prospects, arrivals of travelers, water works talks in Tucson, and various notices and ads reflecting frontier life in 1896.
