EbtToR CARSON ADVOCATE. In following
the career of the Citizens Corhet Band, a.,
from its inception over a year ago to the
present time, we must say that It has passed
through stormy and unpleasant existence.
We do not PROPOSE to criticise all of the
various systems that have been adopted
from time to time, to financially and other
wise improve the condition Of the band
but we do think that few remarks would
be appropriate upon the principal ones. In
the first place, we think that sounder iudg4
ment and stability should have been exer-
cised by Its managers at the start, both in
the choice Of members and in the adoption
Of constitution and bylaws. The chief re.
quisite in membership should be that all
should belong to the same town or borough,
and the NEXT that they should at least be
able to pay for their teaching. The bylaws
ought to contain rules that the members
could observe, without being liable to break
them the first time they appear in public, as
was the case with this band, thereby losing
the confidence of the public and disgracins
themselves, Another great drawback seems
To have been the incompetent teachers, who
have been procured chiefly because they
were cheap. Not the least of their troubles
was the confusion caused by some malcon-
tents who, having learned what they did
know at other peoples expense, assumed to
control the working of the band, and, not
succeeding as well as they desired, they
withdrew and Joined another organization
in neighboring town, thinking by those
actions to break up the well-nigh dispirited
Citizens Cornet Band. But, thanks to the
plucky few that remained faithful, they
went to work with a will to secure new
membersJ and the noblest Roman of them
all, in reorgahizing the band, WAS our jim.
We are now pleased to learn that they have
eighteen members, all of them good, re-
spectacle young men. They have also
secured the services of Professor bush, Of
Bethlehem, whose experience in band
teaching is well known throughout this sec-
tioh of the country. They have now only
to hold we'll togetherJ keep their organiza.
tioh clear of all backsliders, apply them
selves closely to their work, try to re-
gain the confidence of the people, and we
feel assured that the Citizens Cornet Band,
of Lehightony will yet be spoken of with
pride, not only by the people of this town
but by all with whom they may come in
contact. A CtTIzEN,

The jury brought in verdict of not gull
ty. An officer With Warrant was dispstch-
ed for Wilson. Henry was surrounded by
friends who had returned to again enjoy the
Sunlight of his returning prosperity.
Another scene-a bride at the altar re-
sponses had been given and the clergyman
was about to pronounce the twain one; an
officer steps quickly forward, places a pair Of
handouts on Frank Wilson's wrists, and
Eugene is saved by "Justice at last"
In conclusion we may add that Henry
Stat1toti was satisfied with the result of his
trial. as it not only established his innocencs
but showed him the value and fidelity Of
that sweet little woman whom he now calls
by the endearing title of wife. - Chicago

legal tender. / did not say that 1t was, but
now say it Is, The greehbacA Was worth
less than dollar during the late civil war.
Labor and various products then seemed to
command high prices but really paper
money had deprecated in value, because
the people had lost confidence in the govern
ment. canon" says, "Let there be fair play
in the matter" and yet hardly attempts to
argue fairly himself. Perhaps, the words Of
far more able men than either or "Anon"
are will have little weight In sustaining
the proposition that the issuing of an irre-
deemable paper money would be foolish.
Washington says Some other States are,
in my opinion, falling into the very foolish
and wicked plans of emitting paper money.
/ cannot but lament from my inmost soul
that lust for paper money which appears in
some parts Of the United States. There will
never be any uniform rule if there is any
sense of Justice nor any clear credit, public
or private, nor any settled confidence in
public men or measures, until paper money
is done away with,-JOhH adams 1885.

An Arizona Bonanza.

There is now on exhibition in the base
mcnt in the rear Of the San Francisco
Stock Exchange, Pine street, seven tons OF
ore from the StoncwaIl jackson ledge, OF
the Mcmillan Mining Company, Arizona
The ore runs from $4,000 to $4,000 to the
ton and is tie richest ever exhibited in San
Francisco. Professor Martin is the Presi-
dent of the Mcmillan Mining Company
and Judge Ovcrton, of Santa Rosa, one OF
its principal owners. Evidently the stock
holders Of the Stonewall jackson have
struck bonanza. By tie by would it not
be good idea to devote the rear basement
Of the exchange to the permanent display
of our mineral wealth? Visitors could
then have all opportunity of seeing speci-
mems of the ore Of every mine i'll the
market, and in time the collection III ali

than any to be found in museum cOllec-

Unpublished Hymn composed by
the Hon. caleb Gushing.

VIC praise thee, Sod, when mornings ray
In orient skies begins to shine,
And once again returning day
Wakes on this glorious world OF thine.
We praise thee, God, whose mighty hand
Supreme in love, supreme in power,
Rolls on the sun from land to land,
TO light and glad each iieeting hour.
We praise thee, God, at evening tide,
With all the starry hosts on high,
Which beam, as if thy throne beside,
To hymn thy greatness through the sky.
At morn, at noon, at eve, we praise
Thy might and grace on bendcd knee.
And hearts of grateful incense raise,
Creator, Savior, God, to thee.

Yuma Indians,

est, with items of history of Fort
Yuma, the town and its surround
ingS, results of researches of va
rious authorities. There may nec-
esssarily be some repetitions of
data already given in the follow
ing lines compiled from other
sources, for which we bespeak in
diligence:
In 1856, Father Eusebio Francis
co Kino reached the valleys of the
Gila and Colorado rivers. The
Jesuits who sent him to convert
the western tribes, had been es-
tahIished since 1890 in the State
of Sinaloa, Mexico, and had push
ed their propaganda with unva-
ried success through the valleys
of the Fuerte de Mayo and Yaqui
rivers as well as other portions of
Sonora.
Father Kino, with those who
accompanied him established sew
eral missions along the Gila amidst
the Pima and Maricopa Indians,
and three along the Colorado riv-
er, no vestige of which remains
to-day. Fort Yuma was built on
the site Of one of them and its
ruins furnished material for the
construction of the fort. Dur
ing the tWenty-tllree years of
Father KinO's missionary labOrs
he is said to have converted over
forty-five thousand Indians; their
numbers must have decreased
very rapidly or else the accounts
then written were exaggerated.
The notes of Father Kino'S trav-
els give us the first mention of
the Yuma Indians, the names
Yuma and Cucnano being confus-
ediy used. In the year 1910 the
viceroy of Spain sent Fernando
Alarehon to explore the Gulf of
California, then known as the Gulf
of Cortez, and he discovered the
mouth Of the Colorado, which he
describes as ga very mighty river
which runs with so great fury of
stream that we could hardly sail
against it.' But he does not ap-
pear to have assembled the river
to any distance from its mouth.
In 1744 Jacob Sedelmayer visit
ed the Yuma Indians, and his or
der established mission here, but
the Indians turned upon and mas
sacred the priests and burned their
habitations.
In 1776 Father Escalante came
from the East via Santa Fe, and
followed the Gila to its junction
with the Colorado. Humboldt al
SO visited this region and his writ
ings doubtless contain much in
formation regarding the aborigin-
al inhabitants; unfortunately our
library contains none of his works.
The lands occupied by the Yu-
ma Indians extend from point
sixty miles above the junction of
the Gila, to point fifty miles be-
low, but they never leave the bot
tom lands to dwell in the noun
tains.
The tribes surrounding the Yu-
mas are, on the north and upon
the east bank of the Colorado, the
Mohaves, (A-mock-ayes, Ha-moc-
haves, A-mo-javes, Mojaves) and
the Yavapais (Yampais); one hum
dred miles to the eastward are the
Maricopas and Pimas; to the east
and South are the Papagos; to the
south and on the west side of the |
river, with strip of neutral land |
twelve miles in extent lying be-
tween, are the Cocopahs; and to
the northwest, On the west bank
of the Colorado are the Chem-e-
huevis.
We have no reliable data as to
their numbers, though the i'm
preston left from our researches,
is that the YumaS were never a
