WORKING HARD.
The Territorial fair management at
Albuquerque are working hard to make
this rears exhibit the best, to date. This
fair is an excellent thing for New Mexi
co and each year does much to advertise
her resources; more in fact than any
ether enterprise. The liberality of the
Albuquerque people in contributing to
guarantee so good a fair and the hard
work of the officers end committees, de
serve the warmest praise and " commend
ation, and they should have the co-operation
of the people of the whole Terri
tory. Cerrillos Rustler.
Approposs of the above it may be
called to the attention of our live busi
ness men that New Mexico is not any
better prepared to hold such exhibits
than Arizona, and the sooner this Terri
tory gets a move on in this direction the
Letter for all concerned.
THE HORIZON IS BRIGHT.
There is no one who will scour the
horizon of the outlook, of Arizona at
present but what will discern the silver
lining tinged with a promissory note
substantially endorsed in behalf of a
commercial nnd industrial progress that
is now about to set in mo6t favorable
for Arizona. Territorial Auditor Hughes
has received this morning a letter .from
Governor Murphy, dated at Prescott,
Aucust 1st. in which the Governor
states bis probable presence in this city
by the 9tb, and also that the presence
of Auditor Hughes would be needed at
once in the closing and consummation
of the Territorial bonds known as the
Funding Act- This means turning loose
$2,000,000 to 82,225,000 into the financial
channels of this Territory which has
heretofore been eo much idle paper ley
ing dormant and drawing an interest
from the people of 75,000 per annum
It is a happy termination and one
which reflects creditably upon those
gentlemen who in the face of untiring
obstacles have secured a triumph. The
governor adds in his letter that the
bonds w ill be taken at par.
The present administration is daily
demonstrating its ability to meet the
emergencies of the times and dispose of
satisfactorily every question arising in
such a business manner as to advance
national interests and command the res
pect of the world, says the Hub. It has
not been only clean, but patriotic as
welL It is an iidininistration of large
capacity. Its business energy has been
the most pronounced of any administra
tion in the history of the republic. In
this respect it represents the genius of
the people. It moves with them and
for them in developing and sustaining
the highest expectations in our na'ional
life. Its achievements make a record
which, as it appears on the pages of his
tory, will mark one of the brightest eras
in the history of the republic It will
be known as the golden era of true
Americanism, and will be an inspiration
to good citizenship in all the years to
come. The Star is pleased to see that the
Republican press has not repeated the
questions during the past week. "What
has Mark Smith done?" They have
been reading the Star. Star.
Evidently the Star would like to 6ee
Marcus prodded up for his shortcom
ing and so invites a criticism of its
compliments to the Tombs tone States
man. Of course all the good thiDgs
that Mark we all call him "Mark" for
short is supposed to have done or did
not do, were potentially arrayed and
among other virtues the following found
a place.
"He has passed through the house an
amendment to the "private land court
bill" which protects every settler on
Mexican or Spanish land grants."
The private land court bill was in
iquitious in its conception for the reason
that it allows the defendent homestead
ers and chloriders to be forced into the
district court at an expense that cot
one in ten is able to bear. The bill on
its face to the average mind, promised
fair. It promised a just and equitable
settlement of titles in dispute, before a
specially appointed court, a court in
which the government itself was to bear
the burden of the settlers suit. It
might also be added that Mark worked
for the land court bill itself, a bill that
from its very character must certainly
have been drawn up if not by Mark, by
attorneys for the land grant claimants
a bill through, which every homemaker
and wage worker in southern Pima,
every acre of tillable land and every
streak of mineralized rock, has been
brought within the reach
of the land grant Claimants,
but evidently the bill was purposely and
cunningly prepared with a nigger in the
woodpile, and the setler and chlorider, is
summoned into the district court under
penalty of expulsion from and forfeiture
of their little holdings. Did Mark
Smith's legal acumen advise him of the
danger that lurked in the bill and imper
iled the settlers, or did he forget to ante
up and fail to catch on at that most
auspicious time? He is welcome to
make his choice of either horn of the
dilema. Two years ago up in Maricopa
county, Mark is said to have denied and
denounced in unmeasured terms, the
land court bill, but in Pima county he
stood .?pon ser to it and the Star knows
it. This blowing of hot and cold aero s
county lines, will be difficult of explana
tion. It is possible but not probablef
that oily persuasioness may 6end him
back to congress in the interest of the
Grant claimants, but we hardly think
Pima couuty will contribute much of a
majority in that direction, notwithstand
ing the emphatic declarations of the
Mark Smith club" that meets over the
Star office. Sabe?
A call for the Republican Territorial
convection has been issued by Chair
man Bashford of the Territorial central
committee. The convention is to be
held at Prescott September 8. Under
the apportionment which is one dele
gate for every fifty votes, and one for
each fractional over 25 votes cast for
Jon, Uea Cheney, at the last election ;
Pima county will have 15 representatives.

convention is to be

objections have been raised, but we
think without cood reasons. The dis
tance may stand something in the way
of attendance from the southern portion,
but the convention was held in Tucson
four years ago and in Phoenix two years
ago. So it appears to us to be nothing
more than fair that Prescott be given
consideration The climate in northern
Arizona at this season of the year is all
that could be desired, and a political
I picnic among the soughing pines of
Yavapai will certainly be enjoyed by
delegates from the seuthern and central
portions of the territory. We hope the
personal attendance from Pima county
will be large and that the "proxy habit"
will be confined to the Democrats.
THE CRY OF "WOLF" BY THE
WOLVES.
A comparison says the Lo s ADgeles
Times, of the appropriation record of
the present (reform) Democratic Con
gress with the celebrated "billion dollar
congress" which preceded it, as present
ed by Senator Allison in a spech a few
days ago, is calculated to make Demo
crats wince. In the light of this dis
closure the shallow hypocrisy of one of
the planks in the Democratic platform
denouncing the last Congress for extra
vagance becomes very manifest. "The
billion dollar Congress" was a good
enough Morgan for the retrenchment
and reform Democrats until they put
their own hand3 to the nation's purse
strings, and they outdid it so far as to
make their sham protestations ridicul
ous, and elicit the angry denunciations
of their own party papers of the more
independent sort. But, true to the
strange fatuity which seems to control
the course of the Democracy, they must
needs go on shouting against the b"gie
man after they had discounted' him.
Giving in round numbers, the figures
adduced by Senator Allison, they make
the following exhibit:
Appropriations by Republican fifty
first congress, first session, 8103,000,000;
Sicond session, $525,000,000. Total "billion-dollar
congress," 988,000,000.
Appropriations by present "economi
cal" "reform" fiffy-eecond congress, first
session 8509,000,000.
Excess of appropriations by Demo
cratic "economist" congress over "profl
gate" Republican fif ty-fi ret coEgress iu
fir6t session, S5i,00U,0iif. These are the
figures as Senator Allison will give
them.
Even if the Democrats of the house
should succeed in making their party
record more ludicrous by defeating the
sundry civil appropriation bill the bill
of broadest scope and effect in the gov
ernment service with the idea of im
proving the "economy" record of the
party by thus cutting off $25,000,000, it
would be too late to save their party
from the effects of its own record for in
competency and inconsistency.
Assuming the success of the foolish
Democratic attempt to defeat the sun
dry civil bill, with its $25,000,000 for im
portant governmental expenses, the re
cord would still show this session to
have exceeded by $29,000,000 the appro
priations made by the first session of
he "billion-dollar" congress.
Democrats in public life feel as much
confidence in President Harrison's wis
dom and patriotism as do Republicans.
The bill according the President power
to levy retaliatory canal tolls on Cana
dian vessels passing through our canals,
passed both houses without a single dis
sent from any Democrat, although- Re
presentative Turner (Dem. Ga.) point
edly called attention to the fact that the
power conferred on the President is ex
actly similar to that in the reciprocity
clause of the McKinley law. Democrats
know that this large discretionary power
is safe in President Harrison's hands.
THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.
From the general tone of the city
council on Saturday night, there was
no evidence that these gentlemen want
ed to ignore the electric light, but the
grounds of anyihesitancyjwas predicated
on the surmi6e of not entangling the
city for any length of time without
proof of the consummation of the pro
ject and the immediate building of the
same. The project now held out is to
the first man who gets the plant in
working 6hape the city will enter into
a contract with them. There is no
doubt every person of advanced ideas
and vidK-s would like to see Tucson pos
sess electric light facilities. It orna
mented our city once before and stood
6entinel guard with remarkable brilli
ancy from the lofty city hall tower
during the night and the still hours of
the city's slumbers. El Pao has an
electric plant, Phoanix and Nogales en
joy the same, and there is no reason
why a city the size of Tucson should
not enjoy like facilities, reaching as she
does a population designated between
8003 and 10,000. There is no public
spirited citizen but what would rejoice
to see an electric mast loom up from the
center of Military Plaza, another at
Church Plaza, one from the City flail
tower, another across the railroad track
to the north of the depot to light the
residenters of that side and it may be so
that the railroad company itself would
be come an extensive patron of the
company.
MARS AND ITS MOONS.
This evening at 10 o'clock the planet
Mars will be in the most favorable posis
tion for observation. For several days
astronomers have had their telescopes
directed toward Mars, and especial in
terest attaches to the observations on
Mount Hamilton with the great Lick
7 t telescope.
The orbit of Mars is, with the excep-
tion of that of Venus, the nearest to th
orbit of the earth. More, prooably, is
known about this planet than about
any other, and some persons have
thought that they could See evidences
of its being inhabited by beings similar
to the inhabitants of the earth. The
favorable times for the observation of
Mars are when it is in opposition, fer
then it is close to the earth and the ray
of the sun are strongly reflected from
its surface. But its orbit is very eccen
trie, and consequently its distance from
t.h earth when in opposition 18 not al
ways the same. It is when Mars is
perihelion and at the same time in op
position that the distance from the earth
iathe smallest and the conditions for
observation the most favorable.
Calculations have shown that the
more favorable periods occur at inter
valsof fifteen and 6eventy-nine years,
The year 1877 was the end ef a seventy
nine-year period, and it was .then that
Professor Hall of the United States
naval observatory discovered the moons
or satellites of. Mars. This year closes
the end of a fifteen-year period, and as
tronomers have looked forward to
it
with a trreat deal of interest. Thus far
the results of the observations made on
Mount Hamilton seem to be very valu
able, although they may be somewhat
disappointing to persons who have read
the opinions expressed by Schiaparelli,
the Italian astronomer, in regard to the
evidence of human labor and effort on
the surface of Mars. It seems that
Schiaparelli was mistaken insomeitn
portant particulars.
The moons of Mars are especially in
teresting, because they are so small
They are the smallest heavenly bodies
known to exist. Shortly after they
were discovered calculations were made
indicating that the diameter of the in
ner mcon is only about seven miles and
toe outer only about six. ne inner
moon is only about 5800 miles from the
center of Mars,wh:le the distance of the
outer one is about 15,000 miles. They
revolve around the parent planet with
great rapidity, the period of one of them
being less than eight hours and that of
the other less than thirty-one hours,
The inner one completes three revolu
tions in less than a day. The recent ob
servations with the Lick telescope have
shown tnese little moons passing
through all the phases which character
izes our moon. Denver Times.
The City Council. The Electric
Light.
Pursuant to the announcement made
that there would be a special meeting
of the city council Saturday night to
discuss the electric light proposition,
quite a crowd gathered, and all members
of the council Messrs. Lamont, Schu
macher, Samaniego, Perry, Leisure and
Miltenberg and the Mayor were present.
The Mayor then announced the object
of the meetiBg was to discuss the ques
tion of an electric light proposition made
to the city by J udge Barnes and others,
Recorder Meyer read two dispatches in
answer to those cent by the Mayor a
couple of days previous to LI Paso and
Phoenix relative to the cost of lighting
these cities per light and also by the
month. Judge Barnes appeared shortly
afterwards and read letters of com
munications on the electric light from
Eastern Illinois capitalists who would
take hold provided the city would com
ply with their conditions. Judge Barnes
stated that he had a business proposi
tion to make, one upon which, if accept
ed by the city, his people would im
mediately take action, lie desired the
city to bond themselves to take a certain
number of lights for a certain number
ofjeais. Cbas. Hoff was present and
stated to the council that there were
two or three requests for this privilege
and be requested the council to be fair
to each of the contestants without in
dividual favoritism. Mr. Russell, the
electrician in the employ of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, was present
also and spoke in behalf of Mr. Ormsby
who was absent at the knights' conclave
in Denver. Mr. Russell spoke from the
standpoint of one who claimed to know
the workings of the electric light and
positively stated that there was sufficient
and ample support in this city for an
electric plant outside of the city patron
age. Councilman Lamont addressing
the Mayor, requested that before pro
ceeding further the district attorney be
heard upon the matter. District At
torney Loveli then addressed the coun
cil in regard to special privileges and
city franchises and stated that there
was a law agaiast special privileges in
the Territories enacted by congress.
Short speeches were made by Messrs.
Lamont, Schumacher, Samaniego, Perry
and Lesure. There seemed to be no
acrimonious feeling in debate in this
matter. The members seemed desirous
of having the city's interest promoted
but disliked to tie up the city in a
special privilege contract The vote
proved the majority of the members as
opposed to involving the city on thoee
tt-rms. Although there was a full mani
festation on the part of the council that
they would be willing to 6o light the
city and enter into a contract provided
the machinery were here and the pro
ject a fixed fact.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
Whereas several gentlemen represent
ing as many companies propose to erect
electric light plants iu the city of Tuc
son, and to supply the city and the in
habitants thereof with electric lights
of the most appropriate kind.
Therefore be it resolved by the mayor
and common council of the city of Tuc
son, that they will enter into a contract
for lightirg eaid city with electric
lights with the person or persons who
shall first complete their electric works
in said city and supply the inhabitants
of said city with the latest and mott
improved electric lights, said contract
not to extend for more than two years
from its data, and to be upon such
terms as may be agreed upon at the
time of the making thereof.

RAILROAD AFFAIRS.
Spotters Playing their Tricks
Santa Fe Conductor.
The deadly spotter has been getting
in his work on the Santa Fe's Southern
California line3, and as a result two, at
least, and rumor has it more, popular
passenger conductors have" been made
to walk the plank. This particular
6potter is said to have been an old sol
dier, and the way he did his work proves
him to have been a veteran. The man
agement of the road for some time past
suspected that the conductors were not
dividing up with the company, in fact it
is said that the ticket punchers had of
late neglected to even mention the re
ceipt of any cash fares. Railroad com
panies usually insist on receiving a por
tion of the cash, train receipts, if not
more than the modicum which clings to
the bell rope when the daily toss up is
made. This is why an old soldier,
pseudo or actual, was sent over the road
between Los Angeles and Barstpw a
number of times with such disastrous
results. Two weeks ago the best known
of the company's conductors, and, in
fact, one of the best train men in the
Santa Fe's employ, receiving notice that
on account of discrepancies in his reprrt
ne was renevea irom duty. An appeal
was made in his behalf and General
Manager W ade took the case under ad
ritteuieui, uub ueciuea mat tne man
must go, which he did yesterday. The
other conductor did not attempt to
make any fight for his place except to
aemana reasons rornis discharge usu
ally a rash thing to do under the cir
cumstances. At any rate be was satis
fied and took his walk gracefully. The
others who are on probation, and those
who have not aa yet received any signi
ficant envelope, are suspicious of old
soldiers and old sailors and in fact
everybody except blind men. L. A.

Mars and the Moon.
Last night was the 5th of August and
it was the god of war a nicht. commonly
known as Mars' night, inasmuch as tne
surface of that great planet has shown
to astronomers vast battallions of arm
ed soldiery, composing brigades of in-
lantry, divisions of cavalry and regi
ments of ariillery. And as the late ob
servations of the most improved tele
scopes had shown that these great ar
mies were in commotion and as they had
likewise demonstrated the fact that a
space of a million miles nearer tj the
earth was going to be occupied by the
war-like planet on the Euht of the
5th of August, many of the citizcs of
Tucson had field giaeses and smoked
glasses and miniature telescopes array
ea throughout the city peering et this
sparkling god ot war as it glistened
spp.rkled aud blaze ".d up so promneutl v
in the east. W ith a view that prudence
is the better part of va'or and ia order
not to be taken unawares, provided the
planet should in its cycle leap of l.OC'O,-
UUO miles create a hot box on its axis of
revolution and break from its mooring
entirely and come in contact with this
arth or accidentally f pill some of its
million warriors on to this earthly
sphere, Captain Irayer with his com
pany, was under arms during the fore
part of the night to protect the interest
of Arizona in case of conflict, whilst
Captain uray and bis company, whose
duties compelled them to be in the
neighborhood of the railroad were noti
fed to be ready for action in case of
prompt emergency, and Grand Marshal
Geo. W. Brown, who true to the symbol
so often expressed, "Uneasy is the head
that wears a crown" tossed restlessly
upon his pillow whilst thinking of the
grave and heroic duties that would de-
devolve upon a commanding officer up
on a trying occasion of this kind. But
thanks to the wheel of fortune, the
morning of the 6th of August looms up
bright and cheerful. Ihe war cloud
has paseed, Arizona has survived and
our population and territorial soldiery
are enjoying health and prosperity.
An Insect With A History.
Our fellow citizen Z.T. White is the
owner of what we believe to be the mcst
interesting insect and mineral specimen
in existence. To support our statement
we make the following explanation: some
months ago Mr. White was presented
with a specimen taken from a consider
able depth in the Longfellow mine, of
Chiton, Arizona. V hen the specimen
in question was fractured, a beetle of a
a dull reddish gray was disclosed, sur
rounded by a closely fitting mould of
iron ore, in fact the beetle lay in state
as perfect as in life, in its sarcophagus
of iron. Naturally very much impressed
with his recently acquired property
Mr White, hastened to emvelope it with
a piece of cloth with the view of con
veying it to his cabinet, on his way how
ever he had occasion to examine the
interesting specimen and his surprise
may be better imagined than described
when he percieved a young beetle slow
ly emerging from its dead parent's bodv.
and in every characteristic resembling
it, baring the fact that it was smaller.
At the time Mr. White called the atten
tion of the writer to this fact, the young
battle was placed under a glass by its
owner, itcontineud to prosper andincrea
se in dimsneinos and lived for five whule
months. The specimen, the insect in
ts cyst of ore, and the younger insect
generated in a prehistoric period to be
born in the nineteenth century are now

plausable pretext to accout for the in-
eects envelopes in a matrix of iron and

traces of organic life being present, is
almost beyond credence. The editor of

WILLARD'S REPORT.
His Last Statement Made to the
State Department Before
His Death.
The late United Slates Consul Wil
lard, who, twenty -odd years of service
at Guaymas gave him a knowledge of
affairs in Sonora, second to bo one,
Bent in his last statement just prior to
his death. It contains some interesting
information regarding affairs in our
sister state of Sonora, a part of which is
reproduced:
Th export of mineral ores from this
district has increased slightly over that
of the past year. The ores from the
northern portion go to the reduction
works in the United States, those from
the southern portion (Alamos) are ship
Id via Agiabampo to Mazatlan, to be
scld and are exported to the United
States and a portion to Europe. The
only class of mines worked are those of
geld and siver. Copper, lad, iron and
coal are not being developed, the same
can be said of cinnabar.
During the last year explorations
were made ith a diamond drill by the
company owning the coal concessionat
San Marcial, and the results reported
are highly satisfactory. In the perfora
tions Jmada at one place by the drill,
from the surface to 293 feet in depth,
were found four veins from 7 to 22 feet
in thickness (so reported.) The veins
or measures which have been, to some
extent, developed and worked are at or
near the towns of Los Bronces and La
Barranca, 100 miles northeast of Guay
mas. This coal is used by the mining
company at said places for their steam
works. Theee veins are fron 6 toll
feet in thickness. Some 2000 feet of
explosions have been made at both
places by shafts and tnnnels, which
show formal veins of good coal. Coal
vains are now, under the present mining
code of .Mexico, which went into force
in 1831, considered a belonging.to the
land, and titles are not granted to them
as to mines.
Th following are the concessions of
grants made by the governor of the
s'.ate prior to 1681:
1. Contract made and concession
granted by 6tate government to Arturo
G. Cubillas for the Baranca Mill and
Manufacturing Company for a zone of
coal iand of 0000 acres, called Sfinta
Clara, at La Barranca, February 22nd,
1S32.
2. Contract made and concession
granted by the state government to
Jose Camou and others foe a zone of cohI
land at Fronteras, 8000 acres, dated
JunelG, 1J-82.
3. Contract marie and concession
granted by the state government with
M. Alna for two zones of coal land at
Los Bronces, of 10O0 acre?, datad April
21,1533. '
1. Contract made and cr.ncessicn
granted by the state government with
TLe Exploration Company of the Coal
Lands of honora for eleven znes of

Fight with a Lion.
M. G. Rhodes, a prominent mining
engineer who returned recently from an
examination of the Ibarra mines in the
Calmalli district of Lower Californis,
told a Union reporter of an interestieg
fight which he witnessed between a
Mexican and a mountain lion.
The Mexican had gone on a hunt for
some fresh meat. In a short time they
heard the report of bis rifle, and in a
few moments afterward he appeared on
a ridge and waved bis hat as a signal, and
then disappeared over the ridge. Mr.
Rhodes and a companion started to his
assistance, and on going up the canyon
saw the Mexican about 500 yards farther
on, skinning a deer which he had shot
and hung on the limb of a scrub oak.
While they were walking toward him
they were horrified to see a huge moun
tain lion spring from the bluff andl land
squarely on the man's back. As he fell
be threw back his hand, containing a
big bunting knife, which he drove to the
haft in the animal's side, It screamed
and releoeed its hold, the Mexican at
same time springing to his feet, caught
the up his rifle and tired as the lion rose
inthe air on the second leap. It fell, and
Defore it could make a third leap re
ceived a fatal bullet, By this time Mr.
Rhodes and hio fries d reached the spot
and found the Mexican uninjured, save
a slight bcratch on his left hand, a heavy
sombrero which he wore saving him
from being scalped. The lion mf asured
nearly ten feet from tip to tip, Mr.
Rhodes has one of its claws, which he
will have mounted as a watch charm.

THE PRODUCTION OT GOLD.
The Out-Put is on a Steady In-
Fears are entertained by some regard
ing the falling oft in the production of
gold must be looked upon as absurd
fancies.
Instead of a diminishing yield all in
dications point to a eonsiderable in
cre.s3 at no very distant date. Com
plete statistics of the gold out-put of
the world in 1S91 are not yet obtainable,
but we have enough data to feel war
ranted in making the assertion that the
agregate will be considerably greater
than that of 1390.
Beginning with the older gold fields
of the world, California in all probabili
ty made about the same out-turn in
1S91 as in the previous year, but the
mines of Dead wood. S. D., have made
an increase and there has also, without
doubt, been an increase from the silver
mines whose ore carries some gold.
The mines of Arizona will also make
an increased production of gold in 1S92
over any previous year for a long time,
if ever.
Old prospectors say there is every
reason to believe that rich deposits of
auriferous gravel and auriferous quartz
lodes will be found in Arizona within
the next few months. Arizona has by
ro means been thoroughly prospected
and when it is it wid be found to be one
of the richest sections of mining terri
tory in the Lnited States. This will
make Arizona an increased producer by
considerable bullion. The new mines
that are constantly being found and de
veloped in this Territory are attracting
much attention from the entire coun
try. There is a steady increase all over the
country acd if tho?e who have been
afraid that the gold of the country was
tooa go.ng to play ut could carefully
it spect ard understand the situation,
rot only in Arizona, but in the whole
United State, they vonld soon change
thsir tune. Phoenix Herald.
The Fire.
The most serious less by fire that
i Nogales has ev?r experienced occurred
friday mcrmrg at aboui nve o clock. I
The Citizens werj still sleeping, many of !
them, when the Y.ird Engineer, Tom
Clovwlird, Le'an blowing the whistle!
and tae Mcihjui't cLu.-fh le'l was rucg j
to gi7 th fire a'aim. Everybody rush-
ed out and to the pcens of tne conni
gratior, th? International Hotel, which
by tne time the crowd gathered, was
wll enveloped in smoke and tl.ime. The
fire quickly spread from room to room,
each way from the csnter where the
kitchen was located an 1 where the fire
was supposed to hav originated, al
. r r. . . . .
tnouga it Deing so early in tae morning,
nothing certain is known regarding the
starting or tne tire, borne tnree or
four hundred men went to work with
a will to suppress the fire and to save
what furniture they could. The tire
reaching the roof, it was- a very easy
matter to ignite the adjoining roofs on
the north and south. The adjoining
building on the south was the large
furniture and hardware store of Geo.
B. Marsh. This building was owned by
Frank M. Main and George B. Marsh,
and they also owned the adjoining
building that was considerably injured,
pecupied as a China 6 tore. Main and
Marsh's lose is about $o000 and without
insurance. Marsh owned the personal
property in the store which with his tin
shop in the rear that was also burned,
makes his personal property loss about
SlOO, be having saved a part of the
goods. On the goods he holds an in
surance of $1000.
The Chinaman's damage and break
age of goods amounts to about SCOO.
On the north and adjoining the hotel
were four small frame buildings owned
by Mr. J.T. Briokwood. The first was
occupied by H. Gardner as a barber
shop. His personal loss is about 2100.
The second was the postoflice. Mr.
Chatham says that all the government
property was saved, but he personally
sustained a loss of about $200. The
next was occupied as a China store,
which was partially destroyed by Are,
the balance torn down as was also the
next one occupied by Dr. Cummings, to
stay the progress of the flames, which
it did. Mr. Brickwood lived in the rear
of these buildings and hi? residence
property was 6omewLat damaged, some
of his fruit tres and vines were partially
if not wholly ruined. Mr. Brickwood's
loss is above S2.C00 without insurance.
Although since he has lived in Nogales
he has paid insurance enough to nearly
have paid for the buildings; but not
long ago let the policies expire the rates
on frame buil lings being so excessive.
Mr. Jones' luea cn the hctcI and furnish
ing will f' ot up at least $ 3,0!)0 with
only 80,000 in surance. Th build. ng waa

no tilling what a fearful loss Nogales
would Lave sustained.

! Prospecting the Desert.
J. C. Carrello, an old desert prospec
tor, tells the Los Angeles Herald that
there is no danger in prospect
ing the Colorado desert if one
knows where the water holes are. In
speaking of the death of the Breedlovea
and Fish of San Diego, he had the fol
lowing to say:
- "Only a few rods from where the elder
Breedlove's body was found there is al
ways running water, in Rock creek.
Less 6han two miles to the west is that
beauty of streams, Palm or Cantilles
creek, with its lofty palm trees, toward
which he was wandering his way, but
worn out and famished, he fell down
and died in the shadow of the great can
tilles. Four miles to the north ef
where he died is Deer Spring. Six
miles further northwest are the famous
soda and sulphur springs. Four miles
still further north are tne springs of the
Blue Cross. Ail of these are on the
west side 61 the valley, and within easy
reach of the party at any time on their .
trip had they known where they were.

Interview with Colin Cameron.
Mr. Colin Cameron who has been
tranef erring his cattle to the northern
ranges of Montama, was interviewed by
a Citizen representative as to his trip
north, the conditions of the cattle there
and the variance and effects of the two
pasturages of the no-thwestern and
southwestern country. Mr. Cameron
replied as follows: "I find tnat the stock
ranges in Arizona are entirely over
stocked; that is, those who own cattle
are endeavoring to carry more live stock
than there is actual living pasturage
for, and the result is that it necessarily
entails a loss which makes the cattle in
terest a desultory and profitless under
taking by the many who at random en
gage ia it. It would be better for the
people of Arizona to bring this home in
wholesome advice and profit by the ac
knowledgement of existing facts and
steer clear of future distress in this line
by making provisions against overstock
ing the ranges. Year before last I re
cognized this feature in regard to my
own cattle and caused all the yearling
heifers to be spayed and together with
the young steers shipped out to other
portions of the country in order to re
duce the stock on the ranges. On my
trip to Montana we went through Den
ver and on to Orin Junction where the
weekly shipments were 3700 carloads of
cattle. I find that Arizona is one of the
best cattle breeding portions of the
United States whilst a transfer to the
northern ranges puts fine flesh on them."
When questioned as to the hospitalty
accorded him in Montana he replied,
that the people along the route of their
cattle drive treated them with a kind
hospitality and whenever a horse was
broken down or worn out they would
freely vol antaer the loan of another and
accept no compensation for its use."
The following item clipped from the
1't. Madison, (Iowa.) Democrat, contains
inforn ation veil worth remembering:
"Mr. JchnRo'h, of this city, who met
with tn accident a few days a,ro, spraiin
ing and bruising bis leg and arm quite
severely, was cured by one 50 cent bot
tle of C iamberlain's Pain Balm." This
