Yuma ,Scuti,,el has the followino-


 which "reformers" rushed to Col. l E. E. Hewctt to disavow all feel ings of hostility against the South ern Pacific Railroad Company. Col.
 Hewett came here on business of
 his company, but some wag inform
 ed the ''reformers' that he had
 come to take q hand in the town
 election. Men who the week before
 were loud in denouncing the "soul-
 less corporation" and in demanding
 recovery of property stolen by them
 from the people, were the greedest
 in eating dirty, humble pie, and
 made the strongest professions of
 loyalty and good will. What is there . that a one-horse politician will not
 do? Yuma politicians are small po-
 tatoes to a corporation that deals
 chiefly with United States Senators
 and Congressman. Imagine flies
 apologizing to a thick-skinned rhi-
 nocerous, and offering him their
 friendship and support.

 :; Brazelton the daring stage robber was killed by the authorities three . miles south of Tucson Monday Au-
 gust 18th. He had participated in s nine stage robberies in this territory
 and in New Mexico, three near Sil- y yer City, including the one at Cook $
 Canon, two in northern Arizona, o and four near Tucson. the most oi I which work he did alone. He re
 sided in Tucson for something over d year, and was employed in hauling
 hay, grain, wood, etc, for which his
 superior strength qualified him. Late reports from the develop |, ments going on in Tombstone Dis y jet, in the San Pedro valley, arc
 good. The Contention, recently n bought by San Francisco parties
 for S1O,OOO could not be purchased st for half million. The vein i:
 opened at various points for 400 feet e The principal shaft is down thirty f. feet, and IS in six feet of ore without
 touching a wall. The ore from the
 bottom of this shaft assays cvei
 5000 per ton, and other develop
 mcnts more than maintain the repu
 tation of the richness of the dis > trict.
