IUKA, July 2I.-The circuit court has
been in session here last week and the
present up to to-day. There are several
cases on the civil docket, and the Grim
inal docket is rather full for well beloved
old TishomingO. Lewis Thompson, the
negro monster, who committed rape on
a white girl, at the depot, in this place,
in May last, was convicted yesterday,
and sent back to jail by his honor, Judge
Boone, with a view OF passing sentence
on him to-day. Last night q number Of
men took him from Jail, and hanged
him within twenty steps Of where he
committed the hellish act few weeks
ego. Thompson was ably defended by
h. S. Chandler, lawyer OF his own Sc
lection, and one Of the sblest OF North
Mississippi. No dissenting feeling is
manifested by any ore, black or white;
and so we must conclude that the UCE
pOpuli is still the zoe Del. Judge
Boone sentenced two negroes to-day to
the State prison for three years each for
burglary. Messrs. Blair and Chandler
defended them with much ability. The
fine hotel is nearly completed, and will
be mammoth structure. Rain abund-
ant all over the country. The crops are
the best we have had for years. The
Tennessee river is overlooked from the
heavy rains above, and corn and cotton
is injured on the lower lands. The peO-
pie are getting lively on the subject Of
politics, and next November will find
Mississippi regenerated, redeemed, and
disenthralled. Mark the prediction.

since deceased, executed an Geographic
will in pencil on two pages of memoir

signature. The law admitting such wills
to probate was not passed until later
date. The administrator of the estate OF
Timothy Barker made an application
for the admission of the will. as it is. to
probate, which motion was recently
granted by Judge Myrick. He held that
the signature to the Introductory state

FISH CULTURE.

In looking over the message Of retir-
ing Governor Pacheco to the California
Legislature We iiud the following:
TIE Commissioners OF Fishers have
repeated the experiment that failed in
1913. by reason OF railroad disaster,
and hare succeeied in bringing an ac-
| Guariun car across tn. continent. Many
varieties of The finest fish common in
| Eastern waters have been added to our
! OWN, and our rivers have teen Hgnln
| stocked with salmon. The value of this
| addition to our food resources Is very
great. Ia comparison with Ii, the APP
| precipitation of 81. 800 n year IS tritlng
1t is only recently that the real import
ance OF the cultiv2ting Of fish has gained
public recognition. Considering that
every acre OF water may he made to pre-
dUce rs mEcl rs any acre Of land, md
! that actual wealth is created by stocking
our rivers and lakes with fish for the
common benefit. the recommendations
made by the Commissioners in their il
tereSting report should receive your care
full attention. especially SO when It is
remembered that they have given, and
are willing to continue. their valuable
services 10 the State, without pscunlaTy
reward.
We hope to see some steps taken by
our next Legislature toward establishing
Nevada Fish Commission. One res-
son why there should be such a body in
this State is the rapid depletion OF fish
in Lake Bisler. That sheet Of water is
now owned, share and share alike, by
California and Nevada. What is every
body's business is nobody's business;
ana unles. something is done to bring
about o concert of action between the
t.o States regarding the Lake and its
tributaries and .ifluent. (the Truekee
river, we shall very socn see the time
when. as the natural result OF the whole !
sale aai wanton destruction of fish in |
those waters they will BE comparatively |
barren Of food fishes. As Governor !
Pacheco suggests, every acre Of water
may be made to produce Us much as an
acre OF land, and every additional food !
fish is that much gained TO the wealth OF |
the State.

! There is nothing ike talking straigh:
out in meeting and calling things by
their right names. But for our state
ment that Stevenson had demanded the
assignment of q certain amount of
Stewards allowance as specimen col
lector before paying him for his services,
We should never have got q. the truth
of the matter and that portion of the
public who had heard it whispered that
Stevenson and Stewart had come to 2
divide on Centennial moneys would
never, perhaps, have had their minds
dlsabused of false impression. Mr..
Stevenson came into the APPEAL Office
yesterday. paid for his six months sub
scrip;ion to this paper like an intelli-
gent and enterprising citizen. and then,
being invited to seat himself, took out
his note book and showed us the figures
proving these following facts, namely ::
That he had advanced. on behalf of the
Centennial Board, TO Stewart, as speci-
men collector. up to the time of Stew
arts receiving his pay from the State.
the sum total of $3.50. This sum, and
not $3.50, is the proportion Of Stewards
$500 paid over to Stevenson. Mr.. Ste
venson further emphatically says that
prior TO Stewart's employment as spec
linen collector, no, Stewart, did not owe
him, Stevenson. any money-ln fact
that this sum of $3.50 was on account of
moneys advanced to Stewart while he
was in the field collecting specimens.
All right. That is cleaned up and it's
better out than in. Elsewhere will be
found report of the proceedings of
the Board at their meeting OF yesterday.

Well Said.

The San Francisco Examiner COM
ments as follows on the position taken
by Chief Justice Waite:
1t is noble position taken by Chief
Justice Waite, when he declares that no
Judge should be allowed to even think
OF being President, as he might be
tempted to make electioneeriDg decis-
ions. Such an utterance cannot fail to
have effect for good upon the country.
1t is worthy of the first law officer of o
great people. The danger that has most
threatened the purity of the American
Bench, has long been recognized to be
the possibility of its connection with
partisan politics. There should be a
complete divorce between tho Judicial
office and dependence upon popular
favor. Ability, learning, purity and
honesty are the judges qualifications,
and when he devotes his life and sner-
gies to tine work he has selected, and to
that alone, he performs his whole duty.
The Chief Justice of the United States
has doue well in setting such an example.

SILVER eMININc.-The mines of Mexico originally worked by the native Aztecs, be- fore the Spanish conquest, are worked still The mines of the Andes have given forlh their wealth for more than three centuries The mines of old Spain have been worked from the middle ages and are in working con dition now. In Hungary the same mine, worked by the Romans before the birth ot Christ still yield their steady increase. The silver mines of Frieburg, in Saxony, worked from the eleventh century, have no diminu tion. In Bohemia, Tyrol, Norway and Swe- den, on the Ural and Atlas mountains, and indeed. wherever the discoveries of silver have been made. we believe without exception the mines continue to be worked to the pres. ent day, and are generally more productive now than at any time during their past his. tory. Silver mining, for permanent and rich returns, has had its parallels in no other bus siness.-I Exchange.

FIRE IN THE MOUNTAINS.

We mentioned, last week, the fires in the pine woods south of Prescott, and are sorry to say they are still burning tiercely. Messrs Stein, Davis & Bigelow were on top of the highest point in the Hassayam range, on Tuesday last, and state that within sight there were more than twenty fires burning. and the smoke was so dense over the locality of Prescott, twelve miles distant, that they feared the town was on fire. Big fires were seen in tue yicinities of Johnson's ranch, Sterling mine, Copper Creek, Shinsle Camp, Montgomery mine, the ridge north of Skull Valley trail, ard on the flats west of Thumb Butte, in the timber, besides many smaller ones. Then below the pine ridge, as far of as the eye could seacb, towards Weaver, Peoples valley, Kirkland valley and W alnut Grove, fires were visible on the hills and the plains, showing that the grass was on fire in the various directions.
 It is stated also that heavy fire has been burning for week at the east end of the Bradshaw mountains. How great matter little fire kndlrth" is we'll known to all inhabitants of large cities. Chicago, Boston and Oshkosh are recent examples, and a fire in our wooden town of Prescott would, if once started beyond control, be as destruc- tive, in proportion, as either of those. N hile everyone seems to be very careful of hand ling fire in town, there seems to be the most reckless and criminal carelessncss, and per- haps some evil intentions, in the outside country, among prospectors, miners and trav- elers. The whole of the adjoining country, all of the settlements within one hundred miles of this town, are entirely dependent on the belt of timber of the Sierra Prieta range for their present and future supply of lumber and every individual whose home is in this county has or should have deep interest in the economical preservation of our pine for ests. As the mines are developed ani mills are running, the demand for and consump- tion of heavy timbers, common lumber and firewood will be enormous, and every tree will be needed even now, with the saw mills of the neighborhood in operation, the timber in the neighborhood of the mills is sensibly being thinned out.
 The only actual loss to any person, so far as is known at preeent from the fires now burning, has been sustained by G. W. Cur tis, who has had to keep his mill-hands employed fighting fire good deal, and estimates that he has lost i5, 900 to 2O,- 900 feet of saw-logs; but at any time more serious loss may occur to him, or others, which timely caution will prevent.
