close, was intended to mitigate the august patients sufferings, which by that time had become extreme. Just before this Dr. Bruno, as His Majesty's oldest medical ad- wiser, was charged with the painful duty of announcing the hopeiessness of all earthly aid. The King, sitting back, and twidddling his thumbs, as was his wont when making inquiries, asked, yA Are the symptoms, then, so grave?" Dr. Bruno added, what the already shortened breath and gasping utterance of the patient had too plainly expressed, "They are," and re- commended to His Majesty the last cOnso- lations of the Church. Let the chaplain enter," said the King, in the same brief but tranquil tone. And then followed the ceremony and the scene with which the English public are by this time familiar.

Arizona does not seem to care much about having her resources favorably represented at the Paris Exposition. Secretary Gosper writes us that no ore specimens have been received by him, to be forwarded. None have been heard of in this part of the country. Those Frenchmen will never learn of our Castle Dome lead mines and Gila City placers. Some d-d fool will exhibit a horned frog, caught on the San Diego desert, and labeled "From Ari- zona;" the creature not being edible, the French will take no interest in Arizona or its putative product. If our cheek were not so hardened, a blush would be called to it by the indifference of Arizona as to her standing at Parea.D

The proximate cause of King Victor EmanuePs death was asphyXia, due to the complete arrest, from red hepatization. of the function of the right lung, the function of the left having already been impaired by precisely the same mAlady, from which His Majesty suffered at his shooting box of San Rossore, in 1862 As in the gene rality of such diseases, when contracted under the "malarial cacheXia," there was copious sudaminous eruption, the "mi- liary fever" of the Italian text books. But this rather relieved than aggravated the symptoms, and left the cause of death, as has been stated, asphyxia. The inhalation of oxygen, which was practiced at the

fresh impetus. Almost the en- tire water shed of Pinto creek and it's branches is covered with dense thicketS of catS-claW and similarly stubborn bushes. This fact has heretofore proved a barrier to thorough prospecting.
 Last September we packed our canteen and blanketso on a foot tour that through country, in search of health and subscribers-obtaining plenty of both. In a letter to the SENTINEL we wrote as follows: Passing on, one crosses the headwaters of Pinto creek, a stream flowing to the North into Salt river. Marvellous are tie tales of rich nugget float found along this creek. One man is said to have gathered nearly 300 pouu1S of nugget silver scat tered along its bed. But all efforts to dis cover the ledge, from which came this feat, have hitherto proved futile. The hill sides sloping into the streams are covered with impenetrable thickets of thorny cats claw bushes. These have guarded the hidden treasures of Pinto creek from eye and foot of prospector Not enough grass grows among the shrubs to kindle blaze and their own perennial verdure is proof against fire. In some of the gulches in this vicinity gold was found in limited quantities by the celebrated Minor party, a few years ago. In Lost Gulch gold is still mined and some promising lodges are now being opened. The air is full ot old legends, of discoveries made by soldiers while scouting after ApacheS; and of gold shown by Indians to captives, who were led to it blindfold and allowed to handle the glittering metal, but forbidden to carry any away. In numberless spots are found TulNo OI IOfUincaulOuS anu or dwellings, which only the hand of civilized man could have placed there. They are invariably situated in places unsuited to agriculture and where mining alone could have SUD- ported their occupants. Around them are not found the broken pottery and other relics peculiar to the semi-civiized IndIans who gave place to the cruel Apache. As no other record exists of these forgotten miners, it is fair to suppose that they too were eXterminated.
 Rich indeed must have been the ores that induced those old miners to throw up works of defense and to fight Indians for them, away out in a mountain wilderness, hundreds of miles from their own race or kindred And rich indeed they are :; every new strike proves

That's all right. Of course Gen.

That's all right. Of course Gen. eral Kautz was relieved because he wanted to get away from Ari- zona, and of course he has for months been trying to get ordered to Angel Island. The Prescott papers say so. Its neither pro- motion nor reduction," and just suits him. Nevertheless, we were reliably informed that, until the fatal order reached him, Kautz considered himself perfectly se- cure in his late position, counting upon the influence of powerful friends at Washington. This in- formation was corroborated by the extensive purchase of fine fur niture, and by other preparations for long stay at Prescott.
 In our humbe opinion Kautz leaves Arizona in disgrace |; he injured himself by fomenting sec- tional prejudice against civilian officers 10 whom he was hostile; he precipitated his ruin by foolish newspaper discussions, and by keeping some idiot around him whose peculiar province seemed to be to send out false telegraphic dispatches and to try to form pub lie opinion by writing newspaper articles. The warning given, by his Wretched failure amid brilliant opportunities, may be of profit to younger soldiers.

Territorial.

The Etna Mine, Bixby Hill, Globe dis, trict is reported sold to Mir Thorndyke for s45,OOO.
 The mill at Globe, formerly owned by Morrill, & Ketchum is reported sold to parties, who have gone to San Francisco for pans and everything necessary to put it in good running order.
 Picket Post is reported to be growing into quite lively town. Stone and adobe buildings with shingle roofs are being put up. The resident population is increasing and hundreds of prospectors and visitors add to the life and hustle of the place.
 ALMOST TRAGEDY,
 A store Was started in Globe by two partners, one living in San Francisco and the other in house behi..d the store. Al ter while they got dissatisfied with each other and the California partner went down and bought the other out, lock. stock and barrel; except some chickens to which the title was by oversight not set tied. The Globe partner was to reside with his family in the dwelling behind the store until the purchGse-money was all paid. Pretty soon the California man be- gan to realize that he was getting no eggs, and saying By gum, them chickens is mine," he put door on the chicken-h house and fastened it up. February 18th Mrs. Globe wanted some eggs and, finding the door fastened, began to beat it down with an axe. California rushed out to stop that, and Globe rushed out with pick to sus- tain his wife. Between them California's head was chopped on one side with the axe an punctured on the other with the pick. For while it was feared his wounds would prove fatal, but at last accounts he was recovering. A local magistrate fined Globe $400; but this sum being beyond a justices jurisdiction something else was done. Knowing the parties, we fear an sequel 10 this affair.

United States Deputy Surveyor Johr L. Harris, returned to Tucson last Friday af- ter five months work in the ield. During his stay out he surveyed public lands along the head of the Aravaipa valley, in the San Pedro and Gila valley near their junction and later on the lower Gila below Mohawk station in Yuma county. MT. Harris reports a large body, including many thousands of acres, of very rich land land along the lower Gila in Yuma county with abundance of water for purposes of irrigation. Since farmers have lately set tied in the vicinity and their growing fields of grain give evidence of what can be done along the river. There are from 150,000 to 200,000 acres of fine land in the valley and beyond question before many years they will be cultivated and add greatly to the wealth of the Territory TCitiZen

ARIZONA AHEAD AGAIN.
&f4. .5OO Per Ton.

Ore assaying tbese startling fig ures has actually been fond ir considerable quantity; we have seen the certificate of assay, which gives the value in gold as S42, ,87S
 and in silver S1649. 43. Selected specimens shown us would assay three times as much, as they con- tained at least one-third of their weight in gold. The discovery was accidental and occurred in this wise. February 4th Col. s. A. Buckingham went out to look at, with a view to bond or purchase, certain mines in Pioneer district, Pinal county, owned by Buck & Hayes. On their return they were accompanied by D. Dunn. It be- ing late in the day they struck across the country, hoping to reach the Silver King and Globe trail before dark. All four were mounted. While forcing their way through the brush, along the middle fork of Pinto creek, at a point some three and half or four miles north of Andy Flaw kins' Pinal ranch, and some six teen miles west of Globe, one of the party dismounted in obedience 10 a demand of nature. He soon called out, Boys, here's gold :" At first the others thought he was joking, but his persistence caused
 them to turn back; when, sure enough, there were the richest auriferous float and croppings per haps ever discovered. Colonel Buckingham showed us the sec ond piece of float picked up by him. Atacouple of yards distance it appears to be dingy piece of brown rock, nearly as large as a fist, and such as are found on any of our mesas. Closely examined this rock is found to be thor oughly decomposed quartz, held
 together by a perfect sponge of fine wire gold. OXidization of its silver alloy has so discolored the gold that it might escape casual glance, but the least friction re-
 veals it's true character. Speci- mems broken from the ledge carry their normal color and are brilliant with gold. The party returned
 the following day and stripped a
 body of the ore eighteen inches wide and fifty.si feet long. The ledge occurs on the side hill about
 500feet above the bed of the creek, which carries a constant stream of pure, fish-supporting water. It has been traced for a great dis tance and ten loca tiOns, of 1500 feet each, have been made upon
 it. As some of them are likely to
 become famous, we give their names: Buckingham, Dunn, Jer sey, Knickerbocker, Friendship, Columbus, Rowan, Cleveland, Rea and Lone Tree. Since then am- pie store of tools and supplies has been sent out to the new treasure and we shall soon learn whether this bonanza is a,mere4 freak of nature, or really a mine | that carries ore of the unprece- dented value of over S40,000 per ton. But, in any event, the crop !. pings and float alone will make
 the boys rich. The excitement ! in that country is now immense
 and prospecting has received a !

Religion and Restraint.

People talk about religion being a
restraint upon men. In some senses,
il is restraint. But this is not its
chief idea. There are i'm men GER
tain destructive tendencies, passions,
appetiles and inOrdinate affections
which need the curb; and religion
operates as a curb upon these and
reins them in. But il has other and
larger uses than this. Fetters and
cords and gags do not represent it.
Ii plants more than it uprOOts.
When the worlds correction is
ended, il has only just begun its
operations in the sOul-operations
which will continue in force eter-
nally. Negatives do not express
religious duty. We love to think
that religious life means the growth
OF all the faculties, and not a stran-
gulatiOn of them. Religion no more
cramps a man than wings do a bird,
or fins do fish. Pieiy is not a ship
at anchor on level sea it is a ship
in motion, with every sail set and
swelling with wind and the water
around il crested white. Christian
ity makes a man active, vibrant,
tense. Great injury has been done
religion by teaching people to re-
gard it as mild form OF slavery, in
which people consent TO be tied up
that they may not hurt themselves
or others. But there is no such re-
ligion as this, at least in the New
Testament. The gospel Christ
taught is a gospel OF liberty. 1t is
a stimulant to mans energies, not a
narcotic. Ii makes him doer, not
a hearer.-- Watchman.

Teaching Children 10 Pick
Things Up.

We know a man who is quito par
ticular about keeping everything in
its proper place. We heard him say
that he acquired this habit through
the training of his mother. When
a boy, even as far back as he could
remember, his mother ALWAYS made
him pick up and put away his play
things after he had got through
with them. He was often allowed
10 get out all The materials he want
ed for good time. In bad wealth
er the kitchen was often at the
disposal of himself and brother, but
they always understood that every
thing was TO be cleared up at the
close of the play. No doubt there
is a difference in children, for we
have known boys Of the same fami-
ly, of nearly the same age, brought
up in all respects as nearly alike as
possible, yet one of them was always
careless, and became a careless, easy
man, while the other was extremely
particular in all the details of his
dress, sports and work. Still, grant
ing this difference, which many
would call a natural difference, we
believe persistent training in early
childhood would make an orderly
man out of the most careless child.

Tired of Life.

Many people have not only said
they were tired of life, buI have
proved the truth of their assertion
by committing suicide; and many
others would have made way with
themselves if il was not for the
wiekedness of il. Many young
people who have formed bad habits
aud have been eniiced into the
bauDts of vice, have become tired of
dissipation aud would fain have re-
turned to the path OF virtue, but no
friendly hand was extended 10 help
them: their own strength was but
weakness, aud they looked not mp
TO God who forgiveth and "upbraid-
eth not" but giveth wisdom aud
strength TO all who ask, and says
"blessed is the man that endureih
temptation, for he shall receive the
crown of life which the Lord hath
promised 10 them that love him."
So they tired of life and rushed into
eternity. And will not God say TO
us, "where is thy broiher?" or where
is thy sister? and shall we dare TO
reply as did one of old, sam | my
brothers keeper? Some people tire
ofIife because of domestic troubles:
others on account of the loss of their
earthly possessions. Each heart
knows its own bitterness, and their
name is legion. who think, if they
do not saw, "Alas for life! if that
were all, and naught beyond the
grave" Some people who have
carefully and tenderly provided for
their children, denying themselves
not only the luxuries. but often the
necessaries CT life in order TO do so,
become broken hearted and tired of
life when sickness and old age
comes 20 them, because then their
children neglect them, and leave
them alone i'm their loneliness, for
getting who lovingly watched over
them by night and by day, week
after week when they were sick,
Unmindful of weariness or cost, or
time or trouble i'm trying TO make
them comfortable, and in procuring
dainties to tempt their appetite. But
for all the ills of life, sis there no
balm in Gilead? is there no physi-
clan there?" Aye, the "Great Ply
sician of souls" will, if we ask him,
give us that peace which the world
knows not of-the peace of God
which passeth all understanding,
and which can make us gloriously
happy under all circumstances of

Ashes Beneficial 40 Cattle.

them about shovellul every day.
They all ate with evident relish. At
ter turning them out TO pasture he
put peck Of ashes per week upon
the ground in the pasture. They
ate il all up, and gnawed the grass
off where il had been lying. The
cattle began to improve, gaining
flesh, and looking better than they
had for several years. He now
