their terms Of court occupy three days

that they return more property than any

Justice in Death and Life.

Jack U. W. Swilling recently died in prison at Yuma. Anticipating death
 he wrote letter in which he claimed that he was innocent of the crime charged against him, and gave some of the bright and sad features of his life
 We equote few of his statements which are mostly if no. entirely true, and, human wreck as he was, there was much good in him when not madden. ed by liquor. His letter says:
 Jack Swilling, whose doors have al- ways been open to the poor, alike with those of wealth and plenty, looks forth fom The prison cell to the blue heav- ems where reigns the Supreme Being who will judge Of my innocence of the crime which has been brought against me. have no re. morse of conscience for anything 1 have ever done while in my sane mind. In 1851 1 was struck on the head with heavy revolver and my skull broken. and was also shot in the left side, and to the present time carry the bullet in my body. No one knows what have suffered from these wounds At times they render me almost crazy. Doctors prescribed, years ago, morphine, which seemed to give relief, but the use of which. together with strong drink, has at times-as l have been Informed bv my noble wife and good friends-made me mad, and during these spells have been cruel to her; al all other times have been kind husband. During these periods of debauch, caused bv the mixture of morphine and liquor, I have insulted my best friends, but nev- CT when ] was Jack Swiiling, free from these poisonous influences. I have tried hard 10 cure myself of he grow ing appetite for morphine. but the cray. ing for 1t was greater than my will could resist. I have gone to the rescue of my fellow men when they were sur rounded by Indians-I have given 10 those who needed-I have furnished shelter 10 the sick.

 Jack " Swilling's hospitality was fully equal to his own representation of it. It was cheerfully dispensed to high and low, rich and poor, and when not crazed by liquor he was kind and loving husband and parent

stockraisers pat more extensive i'm provements on their land claims thar farmers need to do. To merely call at lenllon to these facts would seem sufi cient to induce Congress to authorize the survey of grazing land actually oc cul jed. Such authorization might eff fectually prohibit the survey of graz ing land prior to occupation.
 GENERAL PROGRESS.
 The Territory has made rapid pro gross within he past twelve months. The outlook is highly encouraging and in some respects exciting. The farmer and stockraiser have generally made satisfactory progress, especially in the matter of growing better varie- ties and enlsrging their business. Fruits are becoming comparatively plenlifdi anu cheap. Insects have not damaged the crops, and, with slight exception, diseases have not destroyed animals. Mining products are rapid ly increasing, and at no time in the Territory's history has there been such activity displayed in mining opera tions. Labor is not in excess of the demand and is fairly remunerated Beggarly and thieving tramps and idlers are only things of hearsay iu Arizona.

DELEGATE STEVENS is making , good impression everywhere. His en emies have grossly misreprescnled him, but where he is personally knowr he is at once popular, as witness the following from the Salt River Herald of September 2lst;
 Hon. II. $. Stevens arrived in Phe. nix Monday evening. He was a stran ger to q large number of our people, and as he walked down the street ac. companied by friend, the morning following his arrival those who had never seen the two-termed delegate were agreeably surprised. On d visit to our office he explained 10 our satisfaction the difficui. ties attendant upon a correction of abuses in our postal service, and other matters on which he had been misrep. resented, He will remain in this sec. ton about ten days.
 NIT. Stevens will gather strength as he travels. Whenever hls motives and actions are fully known and under stood, they will always give salisfac- tion," and though he has been mis- represented" he will not be defeated.

Sensible Public Spending

A critical reviewer says; Let the reader consult his memery, and he will find that the orators, political, general or religious, to whom he has listened with most pleasure have been those who have compelled their audience into quiet, by subdued tone In deliv. cry, and clear, we'll defined enuncIa- ton of every syllable. Some of the most effective speakers and lecturers never put on the airs of Reclamation, but speaker in a collOquial manner, as if they were engaged in conversation with an individual, instead of address ing a crowd. Such speakers can 20 on for hours without exhaustion; their hearers listen without fatigue, and without annoyance of continual fear that the orator will break down, and leave his theme unfinished.
 Every year brings the subdued fash lon of public speaking more and more into favor. It is guod sign, for it indicates not only improved taste, but quickened perceptions in the audiences

Whining Assessments,

The Bulletin has published the fact that S1,SO6,S0O is the aggregate of as sessments levied, to be paid in Sep .ember, on forty mines in Nevada, Cal. Ifornis and Arizona, snd proceeds to say;
 During the first eight months of the year, 305 calls for this kind of aid were issued from the various mining offices of this city. The total amount of these 305 calls is close upon BIO. 00C,000, sll of which has or will be- come delinquent by the Both of Sep tember. This Is considerable sum to take out of the market in nine months and invest in a single industry IL may be that some of these assessments were never paid, but this is offset by those that have escaped our attention. It is safe to say, in round numbers, that $10,000,000 was collected in assess ments during tue first uine months of the year for mining in Cslifornis, Ne vada and the Territories. Tue amount IS larger than for any corresponding period.
 These statements show the interest and increasing interest in mining for the precious metals. Mining is an ex- citing and hopeful, and upon the whole, profitable industry. Even one year ago, but now aud then ship ment of bullion was made from Arizo- na; now hardly week passes that less than s50,OO0 passes out by way of Yu- ma alone, and of late as high as $lOO.. 900 some weeks. In one year from 10 day there Is reason to believe that $50. 900 per week will pass through Tucson, and perhaps more than this sum from only Tombstone district.

Biography of Gov. Fremont.

 The following is from Lanmsn's Ri ographical Sketches: John Charle. Fremont was born iD Savannah, Geor gis, January 3l, 1913. His father was an immigrant from France. He re ceiVed good education. though Jeff au orphan st four years Of age; and al ! the age of seventeen he graduated al Charleston College. From teaching mathematics Re turned his aItenli'.a 10 cish engineering, and was rccom- mended to the government for em. ployment in the Mississippi survey. He was afterwards employed st Wash ington in constructing maps of thai region. Having received lhe commits sion of lieutenant of engineers, he proposed 70 the Secretary of War to penetrate the Rocky mountains. His plan was approved, and in iS4s, siih a few men, he explored the South pass. Impatient of quiet, he planned new expedition to the Territory of Oregon. He approached the Rocky mountains by new line, scaled the summils south Of the South pass, dehected io Great Salt lake, and connected his sur. vey with that Ot Wilkes exploring ex- petition He also performed anuther expedition, in which he revealed the grand features of Alta California, it's great basin, the Sierra Nevada, the val leys of the San Joaquin and Sacra- mento, and established the geography of the western portion of the conti- nent. h August, 1874, he was plan hing a third expedition, while writing the history of the second, and before it's publication, in lS45, was again on his way to the Pacific, collecting his mountain comrades, to examine in de- tail the Asiatic slope of the continent, which resulted in giving new vol tune of science to the world, and Cali fornia 10 the United States After the conquest of California, in which he bore part, he was the victim of a quarrel between two American con- manders, and stripped of his commis- sion by a courLmartial. The Presi- dent reinslaled him, but he declined returning. He determined to retrieve his honor. One line more would con- plete his survey, the route for great road from the Mississippi to San Fran cisco. Again he appeared in the far West. He re fitted his expedition and stared again; pierced She country of the Apaches; met, awed or defeated savage tribes; and, in 6 hundred days from Santa Fe, stood OF the banks of he Sacramento. The people of Cali fOrnia reversed the judgment of the courtmartial, and be was made the first Senator of the Golden Staie in 1850 and 1851. He was subsequently, a candidate for President in opposition to MT. Buchanan, and, though he re- ceived large vote, was defeated. Inl 1881 se served in the Union army as a Major General; and by the Cleveland convention of 1884 was again nom mated for the office of President of the United Stales.n

HE Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Company are sending their road west as fast as money and labor can push it. An idea of the com. pany's activity may be had from the following extract clipped from the Trinidad Weekly Enterprise of the Eth inst. regarding railroad matters in and about that vicinity: A large force of men and teams have been busy for sev. eral days grading the Trinidad depot grounds. The company has twenty four acres on the Baca estate, all ot which will be taken up by side-tracks, buildings, approaches, etc. There will be five siGe-tTacks, in addition 10 the main track, and on each side of this labyrinth of iron tracks will be a level, graded street leading 10 Com. mercial street, each having a substan- tial bridge over the arroyo. all built by the Railroad Company. The tempora- ry depot building is well under way, and the mechanics are today engaged in the construction of long lines of coal bins for the accommodation of To- cOmotives. The side-t tracks were laid yesterday and everything moved"

THERE is a custom among the A,ep. DO girls which is extremely significant. When lovers present themselves they put live coal into the hand of each and the one who holds it longest wins wife. There is a great deal of hon. esty in this practice which Is to be commended. They make it hot for a man before marriage instead of afIer. Our customs are entirely different, for the young girls nowadays put smile in your hand at first and the live coal afterward This is called domestic bliss
