ONE Of the unmistakab,e signs of
better times in the near future is
shown by the rapid rate at which the
public lands have been taken during
the past six months. This should
| also indicate to our transatlantic
cousins the uselessness of attempting
te compete with our rapidly growing
! Western States in agricultural pro-
ducts. Between the years of 1872
and 1877, the annual number of en-
tries under the homestead act decreas
ed from 1900, coo to 2, It's, coo acres.
but last year they aggregated 6.000,-
600 acres, indicating the occupation
of an area larger than shat of the
state of New Jersey. Nearly ne-half
Of these entries were confined 10 the
states of Kansas, Minnesota, and Ne
braska, and the territory of Dakota

Grfst From The Arizona Divorce
NEiIl.

The suit of Eudora v. Smith VS.. Will
liam F. Smith, which has been dragging
its weary length through the Fourth Dis
trict Court for several months past, has
at last come to an end. Judge Morrison
Yesterday rendered decision in the case
which declares the marriage of Smith
with Annie M.Carpenter null and void, on
the ground that defendants marriage
with the plaintiff had never been annulied
by competent court of justice, and that
therefore, the plaintiff was the lawful wife
of Smith, and the marriage with Miss
Carpenter totally void. The complaint in
the case was filed August 18th. against
which the defense entered demurrer.
The demurrer was overruled on the 26th
of September and the defense allowed 10
days to file an answer; falling to do so,
default was entered on motion of plair.
tif's attorney and judgment rendered as
above stated. Smiths divorce from his
wife was adjudged illegal on the ground
that he was nonresident of Arizona, in
which Territory it was procured by Act of
the Northumberland.

Dakota Mining Laws.

Only citizens, and those who have de-
clared their intention to become such, can
legally locate mines.
All land is mineral that is more ta1ua-
BILE for mining than farming purposes.
A vein or lode extends one hundred
and fifty feet on each side of It's center,
and the end lines must be parallel with
each other.
Locnt0rs have the exclusie mt Of all
the surface included within he lines of
their locations, and of all veins through
out their entire aapth, the tops or apices
Of which are inside such surface lines; but
/ their right Of possession is confined to
such portions thereof as lie between var
tical planes drawn downward througb
the end lines of their locatiens-no rigbt
being granted to enter upon the surf,ce
location of another.
Where two or more veins intersect or
cross, the prior location will take the ora
| within the intersection.
The discoverer must record within
twenty days from the date of discovery
and his location certificate must contain.
First, the name of the vein; second, the
name of the locator: third, the date of
location; fourth, the number of feet in
length claimed on each side of the disco.
very shaft: fifth the number of feet in
width claimed on each side; sixth, the
general course of the vein, as nearly as
may be.
The discovery shaft must show a well
defined vein; a plain notice embracing
the above facts must be posted at the
point of discovery: the surface boundaries
must be marked by eight SUBSTANTIAL
posts (besides discovery hewed on the
sides facing the location, and sunk in the
ground or firmly planted in monuments

SsIgrntiOn to the Mojada Mines.

4 Times special from Washington says
According ss Information received at
the Department of State from Consular
officers In Mexico, fears are entertained
that the rush of persons from tie United
States to the Mojada mines in Mexico is
likely to be SO great as seriously to EN-.
barrass this Government Already the
rush has commenced, and the United
States Consuls in Mexico report that it is
steadily on the increase Recent press
dispatches from Mexico City confirm these
statements, and it is reported that GER
tain officers at the Mexican Capital, not
over friendly to the United States, taking
advantage of this opportunity, are en-.
deavoring to excite the jealousy and ILL.
feeling of the Mexicans against what they
term the Yankee invasion. 1t may be re-
membered that few days ago it was an.
nounced from Mexico that when Minister
Foster went on his recent tour of inspec-
ton of the Consulates, he was accused of
sinister designs, and, in fact, was openly
charged with going to explore the Mojada
mines. Acting Secretary of State
Hunter, speaking to-day with reference to
this lsst-mentioned point, said that no
official communication had yet been re-
ceived on the subject, but that in due
time Mr.. Foster would probably be heard
from. Regarding it Mr.. Hunter said, also,
that il the people of this country should
see tit "a migrate TO Mexico, whether in
search Of wealth hear the MOjada mines,
or for any other peaceful purpose, there is
nothing in the existing laws to prevent
them, The law prohibits invasion, by al
armed body of men, OF Il country ~ peace
with the United States; but in no way
prohibits citizens of this country from
emigrating to another country, even
though they be armed for self defense, if
their mission is lawful. or course, he
said. such emigrants would be amenable
to the laws of Mexico, and would be pun
ished for any violation thereof. The Mo-
jada mines are situated at point where
four Mexican States meet, namely; sono-
ra, chihuahua, Sinaloa and Durango, and
owing to disputed jurisdiction by those
States, will probably be taken under d.
rect control by the Federal Government.
Mr.. Hunter says that the mines are not
more than 800 miles from Laredo ana
other border towns in Texas, and he fears
that as soon as their resources become
better known miners from Western States
and Territories will swarm down into
Texas and pass over into Mexico. Ihere
is no doubt that both Governments feel
some alarm at the difficulties likely to
arise from the matter"
