SOME of the California papers start cd the story that ballots for Congress men must be cast upon separate tickets from State or other local ones. An investigation of the statutes shows the story to be pure fabrication. Governor Booth 1t seems was induced to telegraph Attorney General Will Hams for an opinion thereon, and was informed that no such requirement existed. The Sacramento Record charges that The Union of that city gave currency to the report for mean political objects. Fifteen minutes ex- animation of the U. S. Statutes will sal1iafyy ceo that -=3l. r-o-;e:c,, nor anything like it, is in them.

The Mines Over the Border.

These mines are getting much at tention. J. $. Douglas favored us with couple of fine specimens con- taining much horn silver. They came from different mines-one the Pes quelra. MT. Douglas returned from there this wees. and c. O. Brown from that vicinity.
 H. B. Summers, B. H. Paige and Deputy Sheriff Mcintosh and several Mexican citizens are in from the Gila and Salt Rivers, on their way to the Planchas" and other mines. Part of them started out last evening and the others this morning. They go to investigate and satisfy themselves of what Is there and what can be done. MT. Summers is 8 man of much mining experience, and in due time we expect letter from him re- garding the mines.
 We also understand that Joseph Collingwood, of Florence, l.. W. Carr, of Maricopa Wells, and Dr. J. c. Handy and J. w. Hopkins of Tucson, are liable to leave here to-day to make a personal inspection of the mines.
 All reports yet given us are very enticing, but as we shall evidently have many more within a few weeks, we will defer any hifalutin" on the subject. There has been too much baseless pufery of mines for the public good.

U. s. DISTRICT ATTORNEY Nc.

U. s. DISTRICT ATTORNEY Nc CAFFRY has sought the cooperation of Agent Stout to procure evidence against parties guilty of selling liquor to the Pima Indians. The Agent re- plies that he Is anxious to assist but that all the evidence he can get Is that of Indians, and they are very un- reliable mainly, as we understand it, because of their unwillingness to tes- tify. The good Pimas stand by their whisky friends.

TWO YEARS OLD.

This number completes the second
 year of THE ARIZONA CITIZEN,
 Financially considered, the journal
 has brought its proprietor neither riches nor poverty but in higher
 sense, 1t has been marked success. To it's fearless publication of truth, the worst of civil and military otfi- cials credit their downfall. It never has nor never will seek contentious, but when public interests and good citizens are so much jeopardized as at times during the past two years Ill Arizona, it will not hesitate to con- demn the wrong and wrong doer and uphold the right. Ordinary infrac- tions of law which the regularly constituted authorities can, If they will, easily and properly attend to, THE CITIZEN will give little or no notice. Any attempt to make 1t please every body would be one to make 1t worthless and contemptible, and as in the past none such will be made.
 THE CITIZEN is permanent insti- tuition in Arizona, and as such 1t can have no other motive to guide its course than that which will tend to promote the common welfare Of all the citizens who are here now or may hereafter come to the Territory and fairly observe the laws. Without begging the support of any, we re- spectfully solicit the aid of all in legitimate way. The value of public Journals to community is too we'll es- tablished to need elaboration.
 Quite number of subscriptions ex- pire with this issue of the paper. In all cases wherein we think the sub- scriber will care to have the paper continued, 1t will be done until he shall have time to report to ourself by letter or in person. Subscribers at and in the vicinity of Prescott can report to Col. H. A. Bigelow in Salt River valley, to E. Irvine at Phenix those in and about Sanford and Flor ence, to Joseph Collingwood at Flor ence; those at and near Arizona City to Schneider, Grierson $ Go. In Tue son and other places, in person or by letter.
 With these ''few remarks" we close up the second year of THE ARIZONA CITIZEN, and trust we shall announce the close of many more years to @ much large circle of patrons.

It only refers to candidates for the I-egisl.. t.--c, elthou5h tt "oulI seem that there is need of getting candi- dates for District Attorney, Publi, Administrator, County Commissioners and some precinct officers. The meet ing ought to be attended by men trom all parts of the county. Men of intelligence, good repute and solid in- terest in this county should have seats in the Legislature. These qual- ifcations seem to be those that a large majority of the people demand, and they have no care as to what candidates views may be on national affairs over which they can have no possible influence.

A DEAD WOMAN TURNED TO Wax
Ten years ago, this month, Mrs. Anna

buried in the Lakeville Cemetery. At
the time of her death, she was in her
ffty-third year, medium. sized. we'll.
kept woman, and weighed, as nearly a.
can be remembered. about $50 ponnds
Some time ago, Mrs. Ovens deter
mined to remove her mothers remains
to the cemetery here, and on Saturday
last the grave was opened by the oity
sexton, -. Peak. and Mr.. Denl, of the
hrm OF Myers & Deal, and they found
themselves unable to handle the coffin.
on account OF its great weight. 1t was
supposed that the corpse had become
petrifed, and on raising the coffin from
the grave, 1t was opened, and although
petriiaction had not taken place, the
corpse was as perfect as the day it was
placed in the coffin. After it had been
brought to this city, n more careful exa-
mlnation was given it. It was esti-
mated to weigh about 200 pounds. The
whole body was perfectly preserved.
