REVISE THE GAME LAWS
Theee is one measure wbioh should
receive attention at the hands of the
oext territorial legislature, upon which
there is no difference of opinion. It is
suoh revision of our game laws as will
protect deer and antelope from extir
mioation. As the law now stands there
is nothing to prevent the killing of a doe
or ef fawn, and the numbers of them
whioh are being brought to market,
indicate very plainly that but a short
time will elapee before both the deer
and the antelope will go the way of the
buffalo.
Foraometime past the seasons have
cot been very favorable for theee ani
mals, especially in the valleys, and their
numbers have decreased somewhat.
This year, however, has provided them
with plenty of feed and they have left
their mountain retreats and are seen on
the plsins in great numbers, wbsrs they
are killed indiscriminately.
The law should be so amended as to
make it a serious offense to kill a doe at
any season. Fawns, too, should be pro
tected until they have attained the age
of one year.
If suoh laws were enaoted and en
forced, it would not be many years until
the nerds of theee beautiful animals
would be very materially iooresaed, and
there would be books enough to supply
tha markat d amend, aa well as to
furnuh ample pastime and enjoyment
for sports men.

The latest rsturos show that Navsrro
County, Texas, which, by the wsy, is the
borne county of Roger Q. Mills, gave a
plurality of 122 for Major McKinley
Hitherto the county has thrown a heavy
msjority agaiost the party of McEiuley.
The returns further ebow a gain of 100
per cent throughout the state for Mc
Kinley, over any vote previoualy oaat for
his party. It does not require a great
stretoh of the imagination to hit upon a
probable oause for his change in senti
ment in Mr. Mills' state. At the time
of the passage of tha Wilson-Gorman
bill, long petitions came from Texas
against free wool. Bat free wool went
through just ths same. The Texas wool
growers have had a chanoe to find out
what Free Trade means, and tbey know
that it means something that they don't
want. And eo say all ths rest of the
people of the country.
Ireland ia going to celebrate the

Phoenix has bad a "didn't-know-it-was-loaded'

of the orient, and as usual the blsmed
tiling went off. It may t-ke an X-ray
to find where the bullet ia located in the
Chinaman'a cranium. It ought to take
two X-rays to find Jesus after the oourts

The National Irrigation Congress will
begin its work, at Phoenix tomorrow,
and it msy be positively stated that as
aa advertiser for Arizone, nothing has

There will be in attendance pro

in the world, and tbey will carry away
with them impressions of Arizona
which tbey could obtain in no way ex
oapt by personal observation.
The increased prices offered for cattle
for a little time psst is a eouroe of great
satisfaction to those who have stock
for sale. Arizona is a magnificent cattle
country, and with anything like reason
able prices, will famish a large
quantity of beef at nearly any season.
The principal advantage, of course over
Texae and northern ran see, ia in our
model climate the freedom from north

The joint ooanty teachers' institute
which convenes in Phoenix on the 28tb
ioat., will doubtless bo productive of
much good. There is nothing which
adds bo much to a teacher's fund of
knowledge as the meeting of his brethren
for exchange of experiences. Maricops,
Yavspsi, Coconino, Pima and Pinsl
oounties will be represented in the joint
institute, which will last for three days.

Every teacher in the territory should
attend these meetings, and share in both
the work and the benefits.
THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS
The Toledo Blade has the following
tossy. with reference to the national
irrigation congress, which will begin its
work tomorrow:
On December 15 the fifth session of
the National Irrigation Congreea will be

The first session of this body was held
in Salt Lake Oity, ths second in Los

fourth in Albuquerque. It will be seen

is recognized by every one as a necessary
factor in their prosperity. But the

al Irrigation offers the ssfest and surest
investment for ospital. It is the only
means by which much of the oapital
now invested in all kinds of mortgages
in the semi-arid and arid regions will
ever receive remunerative returns. It
is the only means of giving homes to
thousands of homeeeekers in the most
beautiful, fertile and delightful part of

THE CUBAN SITUATION.
Senator Cullom ctrtain'y voices the
sentiments of every liberty- loving citizen
in Uncle San? a domain in his speech
upon the Cuban question. The Spanish
papers of Havana are urging We) ler on
to butchery as the only means of ceding
the war. Theee butcheries include
women, children and non-combctant,
but they argue that this is but the
fortute of war, call it a necessity, and
et it go at that Ibe civilized world
ficds no excuse for this wholesale but
chery, and there is nothing which can
justify the outrages which have been
committed under the orders of We ler.
If there were no other reaon why the
United States ebould interfere, the
wholesale slaughter of the innocent and
helpless is enough. Should this gov
ernment stand by in a state of "inocuous
desuetude" and permit the ruthless
murderer of women and children almost
witbin eight of ber f-hore6? If the self
interest of - the United States does not
demand interference, humanity calls
for notion, ncd all this asinine quibbling
over a few immaterial technicalities in
international law, while murder and
rapine run riot, is simply criminal, to
speak of it in the very mildest terms.
8pain'a inhuman action in Cuba is
ample cause for any cation on earth to
wipe ber murderous army out of tiit
ence, and upon the shoulders of tbis
government rt-eta the chief burden of
putting an immediate end to an era of
disgraceful warfare, which has copt the
lives of thousands of innocents, as well
as the blood of myriads of as noble
patriots as ever sought to breathe the
air of freedom.
The name of Jam? s O. Blaine has

Respect the Stomach.
Few people do have proper respect for
tba stomach. If a thing "tas:es good"
and is not 60 hot or eo cold as to be pain
ful to the mouth or throat, it U swallow
ed by too many people regaruleea of the
consequences.
Do not give the stomach foqd that
will irtitate it or retard it io the per
formance of its natural fucctious, or it
will retaliate in a way that ia decidedly
unpleasant. A headache, a "lump" or
"heavy feeling" in the stomach, irrita
tions of the skin, are mostly symptoms
of disordered digf6tion resulting from
unwholesome food.
Alum baking powders are responsible
for the larger part of this unwbo'esome
food, for it ia a fact well recognized by
physicians that alum renders food indi
gestible and un wholepome.
The danger to health from this ciuse
is so imminent that it behooves, every
one to adopt precautionary measures to
keep alum baking powders, which sre
now so numerous, from the kitchen
stores. It will be found that, those
powders eold at a lower price than Royal
are almost invariably made from alum,
and therefore of inferior qnality and
dangerous to health.
The safer way is to look for the well
known red-and-yellew label of the
Royal Baking Powder. That is certain
to cover a powder free from alum. The
Royal is made of cream of tartar, a pure,
wholebame fruit aoid derived from
grapes. It is renowned for adding anti
dyspeptic qualities to the food, as well
as for making finer and better food.
Deafness Cannot be Cored
Kv local applications, a they cannot reach tha
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tu be getsiinfiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiimed condition of
the mucous surfaces. -'

SHARKEY IS A FRAUD.
There is no Question Bat What There
Waa a Conspiracy-
San Fbancisco, Deo. 11 The evi
deuce in the Fitzsimmons-Shnrkey casa
today was along tbe lines of the testi
mony previously given, and Fitzeim-
moos and Julian have certainly fulfilled
their promise to produce a story of cons
piracy that would etartle tbe sporting
world. George Allen, Snarkey'a eeconJ
and assistant trainer, was the principal
witness today. His evidence corroborat
ed in tbe main tbe testimony given by
Australian Billy Smith. On cross ex
amination Allen admitted that while
Sharkey after the fight gaveco external
evidence of injury in the groin, be asked
for water when taking to his dressing
room, and when water was brought
directed Allen to bathe hia groin. Allen
considered that Sharkey had been fairly
knockouted by FitZ6immoos,and declares
that no foul blow had been struck by
tbe latter. He was so impressed by tbe
fact tbat Sharkey was knocked out that
after the sailor had been down 6ix sec
onds he started to throw up his towel
to indicate Sharkey's surrender. Allen
said he helped to carry Sharkey into
the dressing room, from which alt but
Sharkey, Lynch and the trainers were
excluded. In ths dressing room Shark
ey was carefully examined and the wit
ness wis positive he was at tbat time
uninjured in tbe groin. After Sharkey
was taken to his hotel end the trainers
excluded from Sharkey's room, Lynob,
Danny Need hem and Dr. Lee were
alone with Sharkey. Shortly, from his
position outside tbe room, the witness
said he heard Sharkey cry out, aa if in
pain. When be next saw Sharkey, on
the following day, hia groin was ban
daged and there were stains of biood on
the groin. He applied fomentations to
the groin, which was then swollen and
discolored. No doctor was permitted to
examine Sharkey in the dressing room
immediately after tbe fight, although
several, including a physician of the
Rational Athletic club, applied for ad
mittance and tendered tbeir services.
According to tbe witness Lynch eaid:
"We want no doctor here.' William
Abbot, who eat close to the ring, corro
borated Allen's testimony.

A MINING LAW POINT-
ImportantlSaitlAdjndicated by Judge
Baker this Morning.
Judge Baker made a ruling of impor
tance to miners this morning, in the
case of L. P. Nash et al, against L. J.
Horton et aL. The action was one to re
cover the possession of the ground alleg
ed to have been covered by the notice of
location of tbe Overlook mine.
In August, 1894, tbe plaintiff put up
one monument and placed his notice iu
it, and, without doing any more, left
the premises. In October of the same
year he returned to the place in order
to erect other monuments, but was
there met with arm by the defendants,
who were upon the claim, and they or
dered him not to enter.
Judge Baker held that the plaintiff
was guilty of unreasonable delay in not
completing bis location; tbat the law
required an immediate completion of tbe
location, or, at least, its completion
within a reasonable length of time, and
tbat plaintiff, without excuse, had de
layed too long; that the defendants hav
ing lawfully and peaceably entered upon
tbe premises during the interval and
being actuary in possession thereof
when the plaintiff returned in October,
plaintiff could not recover.
A verdiot was therefore direoted for
the defendants.
The decision clearly and suocintly
covered the general principles govern
ing mining locations and was pronounced
by the parties to be a very forcible ex
position of the law. Herald.

In our immediate district the situa

and in good condition for this time of

holiday fruit until the regular trade
commences in January. The formation

of the "Orange Packers and Shippers
Organization" seems to bo timely. The
foreign orange crop is unusually largo

of our product demands especially care

Tbe dried fruit market ia at present

MINES AND MIXING.
What is! Goine" on ia tha Different
Camps in Arizona.
The Commonwealth Mining Co., at
Pearce, Cochise county, employs sixty
men and ships to the Pueblo smelters
three to four carloads of ore per day.
The rock is rich in gold and silver, yield
ing 8 ICO per ton.
News reached here Thursday that
the Queen mine at Hedges, Cal one of
a group owned by the Gold Cross Mill
ing and Mining Company at that place
had caved in at the 100 foot level and
buried four men. The miners were
shortly afterward rescued with slight in
juries and it is said all will be well
enough in a short time to go to work
again. To add to the excitement two
dwellings caught oo fire and were des
troyed. The loss of the company is
email. Yuma Sentinel.
Tbe Ponce de Leon Mining Syndicate
has 50 men at work doing the assessment
work on its mines in the White Gold and
Picacho basirs. The Golden Dream Co.
is crowding tne work on the Alfonso,
Little Frank and Sambrano shafts and on
the Noonday mine in each of which very
rioh ore has lately been struck. All
three are in splendid ore and growing
better aa depth is attained. They axe
all, together with the shaft in the Alfon
so, cut above tbe falls and 60 feet south
of tbe tunnel; and the Little Frank
tunnel, on the rich vein of ore whioh now
is known to run tbe entire length of this
Noonday mine location. Yuma Senti
nel. The outlook for Picacho and ita mines
never was better than at the present
time. Eastern men and money are ready
to push the work on the promising min
ing claims which they have already se
cured. The same is true of London.
There i an abundance . of money for
development and macninery, but not a
dollar with which to buy mines out and
out. When such mining experts as Wm
A. Fariab, C. J. Bell and Emerson Gee,
after having spent days and weeks in a
most careful and thorough test of the
ores and their veins in that mineral belt,
pronounce in their favor, and confirm
the good things which have been said of
them, the time is not far distant when
the Picacho mines will come to the front
and occupy the place which they so
richly deserve. Yuma Sentinel.
An excellent hint to that unscrupu
lous class, the "salters" of mines, whose
field is happily becoming more limited
in the light of better and more intelli
gent investigation of mining properties,
came to light in sn exhibition recently,
before the Imperial Institute of Edin
burgh, Scotland. The exhibit arose
over the much discussed questions as to
how gold was originally deposited ia
quartz, and Mr. J. C. F.Johnson of
Port Adelaide, Australia, who has given
much attention to the subject, showed
some specimens of non-auriferous rook
into which he had introduced gold arti
ficially and in suoh a manner that the
experts present were unable to detect
tbe handiwork. Mr. Johnson has for
years been experimenting with the
various salts of gold, and the result hi
some remarkable specimens of manufac
tured auriferous quartz which when
broken, show the gold through every
lamination of tbe rock. Tbis discovery
of how gold was deposited msy prove of
value in suggesting an economical
method for its extraction, but the agents
of the investors should be guarded that
tbe work of nature is not copied by those
who have gold mines to sell snd are not
above "salting" them. Inter-Mountain
