A discovery has been made in the

the permanency of that camp be
yond question. In cross cutting a

$115. The ledge is considered by
mining men to be a bonanza in itself.
It is strong, well defined, high grade,
and free milling. Superintendent
Gould, under whose direction the
discovery was made, is naturally
quite jubilant over the results.
Aside from this, however, the Oro
and Julia camp was, under the su
perintendence of Mr. Gould, on a
paying basis and the discovery of
the ledge in question makes it
doubly so. Tucfon Citizen.
A Worthy Pardon.
cour-rIn speaking of the pardon of J. W.
Robinson, sentenced from this coun
ty last September to one year at
Yuma, the Phenix Republican says:
"Another pardon granted yester
day was that of J. W. Robinsoji,
who was sent to the penitentiary in
September, 1896, for one year from
Navajo county, for burglary. The
vr
crime and punishment of Robinson
would be ridiculous if they had been
productive of something less serious
than a term in the penitentiary.
This proves that justice in Arizona
is not only blind as she ought al
ways to be, but is sometimes deaf,
dumb and insane. There is a the
ory that Robinson was the victim of
novelty. Navajo county was young
then, and probably practiced upon
Itobinson in order to nave a repre
sentative in the territorial prison, in
which capacity he succeeded in shed
ding by his scileuce moro luster up
on the county which sent him than
some of the members of the legis
lature have reflected upon their
counties.
"Robinson was a bartender in a
saloon. One morning the propri
etor gave him $2 and he got drunk.
He spent the money and when he
returned to the saloon for more
money or liquor he found the door
closed. The saloon had passed in
to the custody of the sheriff. Rob
inson didn't know who had closed
the doors and didn't care. He knew
or thought he was thirsty, so he
kicked a hole in the door, went in,
got a drink and went awaj-. If in
stead of giving way to his appetite
he had surrendered to his cupidity
and stole a horse or had yielded, ta
his passion and killed a man he
might have been acquited. Review
ing the case Governor Franklin said
he ought never to have been convicted."
