The following explanation appears IN
the Rome Sentinel: The gentleman
who left the church so suddenly last
Sunday was net sick, as his friends fear
ed at the time. That forenoon, just be-
fore service, he visited his barn to sec
that his hsrses had been properly cared
for. and fading a new laid egg, he put
It in his coat-shirt pocket The recol'
lection that the egg was still in his poe
ket prompted him to steal away from
the congregation and we regret to sa.
that his worst,fears were realized

ALaughabie THE: story.

The augusta Evening News tells an
amusing story of an old gentleman OF
Richmondicouniy, which it ayers posi-
lively to be true. 1t seems that the
SAID old gentleman had inc watemel-
on patch.
Finding his watermelons disappear
inc. he stole on certain night lately
with a shotgun to watch for intruders,
but not finding any, he finally became
weary and fell asleep. 1t seems that
a certain darkey had, during the day,
marked a fine melon as his own, ana
lust at this juncture came afterit.
Finding the melon, he looked around
for a means at Dustin land spying the
old gentleman asleep, he mistook his
head for a stump. Up went the melon,
and in the next minute it was smashed
in fragments over the old gentleman's
cranium,
A Jump, ayell, and the old gentle-
man scampers of in one direction, while
the darkey flies in another. Says the
News further: The old gentleman
reached the front door as the darkey
comes IN the back. They meet in the
hall.
'Golly, Marse Jack! debblp' in de
watermelon patch. lie chase me- and
like TO cotch me!
so it was you, you black hound !
roars out the old gentleman. 'Whaek,

This Board met in accordance with law July 1 also on the 9th and Sth. The fol lowing changes were made on the assess ment roll:
 Tomas Amabisca, assessment S3CO,strick- en of, the property being included with that taxed to Francisco Amabisca. On complaint, the assessment against Manuela Arvizu, was stricken off, she being resi- dent widow, and therefore exempt. The assessment on Lot B, Block 9, against D. Neahr, was reduced S175. The Board then adjourned, but will meet according to law on the second Monday of August.

Some idea can be formed of the profits of raising sugar cane,
 where soil and climate are favor able to that industry, from the
 fact that in the Island of Cuba seY-
 en thousand pounds of sugar to the acre is not an unusual crop from newly planted cane. Three thousand pounds to the acre Is a common yield for stubbles of from twenty to thirty years standings: i. e., cane>felds which have been
 cropped that many years without replanting. The molasses always
 pays all expenses of cultivation and boiling. In Louisiana it is customary to replant the canes
 every three or four years. We have no data as to the profits
 of sugar-groWing in that State.
 Heavy import duties protect our sugar farmers.
 Experiments already made prove the GiIa and Salt River valleys to be well adapted to cultivation of
 the cane, and it may be reasona- bly expected that this industry
 will become an important one in Arizona.

A comical complaint has been filed against THE SENTINEL. It covers twenty-siX pages and asks S36, ,000 for damages to character -(accent on the second syllable). It displays an accuracy in spelling and grammar not usual with the would-be damagee, and which in- dicates it's supervision by a more polished attorney. After quoting THE SENTINEL, the complaint states:
 That the said defendant meant thereby, that plaintiff was bitually insulting. abusive, contemptuous and disordcrly in his conduct and demeanor to and in the presence of the Board of Supervisors Of the said County Of Yuma and had by his said insulting, abusive, contemptuous and disorderly conduct, and demeanor, caused supervisors Julius Samter, H. $. Fitzger ald, Antone Lorette, Isaac Lyons and Ar temus L. Grow to resign their office of supervisor of the County of Yuma afore- said, and that by arrogant presumption and brutal insolence to and in the pres ence of the said Board of Supervisors, I,:,,o, f.o,,, tbair cold offica the said SIIDpr- risors and that plaintiff was brutal, lg- norant and unciyilized alien and that plaintiff was every day engaged Iii angry vituperation and insult with some person or persons in the streets of the vll- age of Yuma, and that plaintiff habitual- ly, maliciously and deliberately selected the peaceful, the weak and the timid, to be the objects of his (plaintif'sl wanton, vile, insulting and unprovoked attacks, and that plaintiff was abject, cowardly, and vile, and habitual y apologized when he (plaintiff) made mistake in his said se- lection. and the said publication was so understood by the readers ol tue salu weekly newspaper
 The readers aforesaid very pos- sibly so understood the said pub iicatiOn. In that case 1t was quite unnecessary for THE SENTINEL to have named James Reilly, our superseded District Attorney, for this community to recognize the Individual so minuteIy above de- scribed in his own language. We might endorse his above descrip- tion of himself, but will net do so because of a legal axiom which says: "The greater the truth, the greater the libel"

Santa Catarina Mountains.

Johnny Hart returned two weeks ago from a two months exploring and pros prcting trip through the Santa Catarina mountains, and although he hds seen Q great deal of the range, the half remains yet 10 be explored. These mountains are located seven miles north of Tucson, and a splendid vlew is had of the outside range from this city He has nothing but the most encouraging reports to offer. As the south side of the mountains are exceed ingly rugged, he proceeded to the north side to ascend them, distance of about forty miles, By trail he climbed to the summit, which is covered with large forests of timber, yellow and sugar pine, which will square four feet, and thirty feet in height. There are also large quantities of sugar maple, lemlock and fir. There are about twelve miles square of this timber. Red cedar appears ill forests which will square sixteen inches and are forty feet in height. There are also number of beau tiful parks in the mountains and plenty Of running water and pure springs. The streams are extensive enough to run a quartz mill. MT. Hart has located one which runs 400 miners inches. The foot hills also abound in small timber, such as oak and walnut. There is no mineral ia the high mountains, but lower down, or at the base, there are large deposits of iron, copper, lead, silver and gold. The forma- ton of the mountain is slate, granite and porphyry The mineral runs southeast and northwest. A number of locations have been made by Hart, Tom Gates, Har- desty, Gable and G. II. Oury.

Unknown Arizona.

North of the Thirty-fifth Paral- Tel lies part of this Territory of which little is now known to the world at large. It comprises an area of over 60,000 square miles an area larger than that of the State of New York, which con- tains but 47,O00 square miles In this area are published no news papers; except in it's southwestern corner there are no towns, post offices, or wagon roads. Little has been written about it's general characteristics, resources, or the Indians that inhabit it. Occasion al exploring parties have pen- etrated it's solitudes and have brought back wonderful accounts of it's topography and natural re- sources. Major PoWell's expedi- tion has given Us descriptions and drawings of immense canons that cut up the western part of 1t and have retarded it's explorations great gorges with precipitous walls more than mile high. The dia- mond- field excitement gave a brief prominence to Its eastern portion. Here were supposed to be the "Seven Cities of Cibola," which excited the cupidity of Spanish explorers nearly $50 years ago. An ar of romance and mystery flavOrs all the older accounts Of this Unknown Arizona. Tales reach us of Indians who cultivate gardens in deep gorges only ac- cessible by ladders. Hunters tell of great forests and of clover prai- ries we'll watered and stocked with game. Prospectors describe the fantasies of the Painted Desert, and natural phenomena as Won- derful as those of the Yellowstone country; they also report deposits, extensive and rich, of all the baser metals, and to some extent of the nobler ones. Coal fields more eX- tensive than those of Pennsylva- nia have been discovered and ac- curately described by experts. Beds and mines of rock-Salt have been found, and some of them are being worked. Deposits of boraX are now attracting the attention of capitalists. Almandine rubies, as large as hazel nuts, turquoise beds and opals are found near the Navajo Reservation abundant enough to justify expectation of finding other and more precious stones. Immense ruins of masOn- ry delight the antiquarian and prove that the country used to support large population. That it can support enc now is being demonstrated by the successful agriculture of it's Mormon colo nies, and by the herds of cattle and fiockS of sheep now occupying portions of 1t. The "San Juan Countryn of Colorado, already famed for it's rich mines, extends far into northeastern Arizona. That this part of our Territory is the most desirable for residence we are not now prepared to assert. It's great elevation is likely to produce winters as severe as those of the Middle States. But it can not be denied that the northern part of Arizona contains resources that will. be developed into inn mense wealth, as soon as public attention becomes directed to them, and as soon as it can secure transportation facilities by inn provement of the Colorado River, or by entrance of railroads.
