OK last Friday night John (Cato)
Smith hung his wet clothes near the
fire and retired. Sometime in the
night he was awakened by the odor
of burning cloth and on arising found
his apparel on fire. He extinguished
the fire, but lost nearly $50 in money
and orders, which was in one of his
pockets. =,

UNIVERSITY ITEMS.
[By our Special Reporter.1

ltfJ wi NP~NAet ~ tNsNs'l
The Faculty of the University has
adopted a resolution whose aim is the
encouragement of the Literary Socie-
lies. 1t is that all students shall
connect themselves with one or the
other of the two societies; and if they
perform their duties therein and such
is certified by the secretaries of the
societies to the Faculty, they shall be
exempt from rhetorical exercises on
Friday afternoon and from declama
ton on the chapel stage. If students
however do not join one of the socie-
ties they will be held responsible for
such duties as the Faculty may see
fit to demand of them.
Prest. Thompson met the literary
societies in joint session last Friday
and explained the matter fully to
them, which received their unani-
nous appreciation.
DR.. Dancer, the polite and accom-
modating janitor of the University
informs your correspondent that at
least two hundred persons have visit
ed the University since the begin
ing Of the present college year, and
that the majority of these were stran-
gers who had never visited it before.
We find in reviewing Virginia
paper that the inaccessibleness of
towns in which are located institu-
tions of learning is becoming a mat
ter of agitation and grave importance
and other college presidents besides
Presidents Thompson and Hays are
becoming interested in this matter.
Situated in an isolated district as
Morgantown is, hemmed in by mount
aims on the East, and separated from
railroad lines by at least twenty miles,
we are in danger of being forgotten,
and our position on the map, if not
"maerplored," must at least be mark.
cd inaccessible. 1t must be confessed
| by all that the want of convenient ac-
cess has considerable to do with the
increased prosperity of our Universe
| ty and to this alone must we attrib-
ute the excess in numbers of other
inferior institutions over it. A stu
dent will need but little persuasion,
after having travelled the Morgan
town and Fairmont pike once, to
avoid it ever afterward by going to
some accessible inferior institution.
This want of convenient access has
doubtless kept many students from
the halls of our institution. These
remarks are not intended to detract
anything from the peculiar fitness Of
Morgantown and its surroundings as
place for dourishing Institution of
learning In fact, everything, in that
respect, is in its favor, all we need is
easy and convenient communication
with the outside world, SO that the
Athens Of West Virginia can make
its influence felt not only in West
! Virginia, but in her surrounding sis
ter States. May everything conspire
to make our Narrow Gauge a sure
thing. May the beginning of anoth-
err college year find Morgantown not
only connected with the Pennsylva-
MIA road, but also the Baltimore d
Ohio road.
Cadet Lewis left last Sunday for his
home in Clarksburg. His absence is

Yuma Items.

We gather the following from the Sentinel of November 23:
 Passenger travel is fast increasing. The impetus lately given to railroad progress has induced many new peo- pie 10 come here.
 A first class quartz mill is now being built in San Francisco for the Tiger Mine. First inslallment of machinery due here early in January.
 The Blackberry mill and mine are now running more prosperously than ever. A steam-pump has been put on the mlne and raises all the water need ed for the mill. New ore bodies have been struck and old ones made more accessible. IL is a solid camp.
 Major J. II. Lord and family left here on Tuesday for hls new station al Philadelphia. Few army officers have ever Jeff more or warmer friends behind then Major Lord has left in Arizona.
 The "Gila" arrived on Monday, bringing rather hopeful account from the McCracken country. Fifteen men are at work on the mine making open ings for getting al the ore body north of the old works. The Superintendent expects 10 be milling ore again by February 1st
 Hank Williams is deserving great credit for lhe pluck and perseverance, with which he followed and captured Guadalupe Santos, the Mexican who shot J. V. Kimball al Planet. He Started for Mohave County with his prisoner on Wednesday, Kimball was shot behind ihe ear. At last accounts he was still alive but in 6 very critical condition.

The McHJIIen Mine.

By private advices from McMillen- vile we learn that the McMillen mine never looked better than at present. The working shaft is now down 2O5 feet. $75,O00 worth of ore is now ready for shipment and as much more un' covered in the mine. The company
 has a five stamp mill now en- route from San Francisco to the mine, which will be used to work the lower grades of ore from their mine. The McMillen mine is one of the two dividend paying mines in Arizona. It made handsome fortune for each of the two young men who were fortunate enough to discover it, and has also paid cost price, expences and three di- yidends to the company. These are the class of mines we love to tell about.

Arivacn District.

Mr. T. L. Watson who arrived last week from Bridgeport, Conn. is deter mined. if possible to secure some good mines in Southern Arizona for himself and friends. After resting day in Tucson he immediately left for Arivaca in company with Prof. RIckard, Mir. J. R. Farrell and Col. WItherill. The par ty returned Tuesday evening having visited the most promising prospects in the District.
 They examined the Sea Serpent Lode which Prof. Rickard pronounces the largest lode he has ever examined next to the Comstock. The lode can be traced for seven miles and is from 10 to 90 feet wide. It is opened on the Centennial mine and shows a good character of ore.
 The Papago Chlet Lode runs paral- Tel with the Sea Serpent, about 400 yoOo ulsldut lIVLh lt NCSlWdIu. II carries the same character of ore and is fine prospect. These mines are located in the Glija mountains.
 La LIbertad is auother very rich gold claim in Arivaca District. Prot. Rick ards assays show that this ore carries $l00 in gold per ton.
 Nina del Tajois rich silver lode. Assays running IS high as $4,000 per ton.
 MT. Watson we are pleased to say was very much delighted with the re- suit of hls examinations, and there is little danger that he will leave Arizona until he is the ownG of several good prospects. Prof. Rckard speaks in high terms of the Alivaca District and considers it a locality for safe and profitable investment for parties who are willing and abe to develope the lodes.

LOCAL MATTERS

A DAsTARDLY attempt was made last Saturday night to set fire to the store of Lord &Williams and also that of l.. Zeck. endorf & Go. Kerosene oil was poured on the large doors on the west side of Messrs. Lord { Williams store and a fire started but fortunately some parties sleepInp in the store discovered the flames which were immediately extlneuished without doing any material damage. The Store Of l.. Zeckendorf & Co. was fired the same night in the same manner but less ker Osene was used and hence less damage done. Sunday afternoon a Mexican wo. man came into MT. S. H. Drachman,s store. The subject Of the fire was incl dentally mentioned whereupon the wo- man said she was in possession Of fnfor- nation which would lead to the arrest of the incendiary and which she would dis close ifpaid and protected. She said the culprit had threatned her life if she told what she knew. MT. Drachman and Sheriff Shibell worked up the case care fully and the fire fiend was arrested the same afternoon. He was examined before Judge Meyers and held in default of bail. The purpose of this diabolical work must have been plunder or revenge. The name of the prisoner Is Jesus Corrales, He Is fugitive from justice we'll known to our officers, and though young in years this is not his first grave offence. IL is thought that COrrales had an accomplice, and proper parties are now working up the train of evidence which indicates very clearly that suspicious entertained against certain party are correct. IL Is hoped most sincerely that the perpetrators of this nefarious deed may be detected, and 1T their guilt is clearly established no punishment is too severe for such atro- cious crime. A swift justice might teach this class of criminals a wholesome les son.

EX-GOVERNOR SAFFoRD and Mir. T. l.. Watson left on Thursday afternoon for the Tombstone district and from there it Is probable they will visIt other mining sections. MT. Watson is exceedingly we'll pleased with his observations thus far in Southern Arizona and is determined to .see as much Of our mining resources as is possible during the time he expects to re- main with us. MT. Watson is himself a banker and we understand number or Connecticut gentlemen Of large means are interested with him. He could not have h better escort than Gov.
