Back from Arizona.

Tom Crowley has returned from
Arizona. His experience there does
not seem to be remembered kindly.
The country was over rated by news
papers and promoters. 1t was diff
cult of access before the railroad
went through and was supposed to
be the hiding place of immense de-
posits of precious metals. The rail-
road took in prospectors and specu-
lators by the thousand and every
thing was overdcne. The good mines
are few, and even the best do not
pay at any great depth. Near Tomb
stone the three or four mines that
pay owe their prosperity to the ease
with which the rock is worked.
Their ore is not very rich and lies
in punches, and if it was not soft
almost like sand, the work of ex-
tracing would eat up the profits.
As it is none of the mines have paid
for working at greater depth than
400 feet. Crowley thinks that he
would rather have Como if he had
capital to work it than all the Ter
ritory of Arizona.

American Rights.

Pard, the fog horn stage driver
came down from Virginia in a very
bad humor this week. The Chief OF
Police had told HIM not to make SC
much noise. When he arrived in
Dayton he took a friend to the back
door of the Postoffice, and lowering
his voice so that deaf man could
scarcely hear him. remarked in tones
of concentrated bitterness, 81 will
let them there foreign policemen
know that am an American citizen
and that l have a right to talk as
loud as please, and l am not a
slave of any foreign Commisssry OF
Justice.

Leg Broken.

On Wednesday jim Hardwick dis
covered Casper Caldwell lying near
the Como road, little beyond the
Finger Board, with his leg broken.
Caldwell had, according to his own
account, been lying there since the
evening before. Hardwick came to
Dayton for assistance and a Wagon
was Immediately sent out for him.
He had been in town the day before
his accident and started towards
Como in a slightly oblivious condl-
ton. His account of the accident
was somewhat hyperbolical as it in
cluded desperate encounter with
all the side arrangements usual on
such occasions, but the probabilities
are that he fell off the side of the
road. His right leg is broken below
the knee, and his side bruised. Hav-
ing no place in Dayton in which he
could be car I'd for, he was sent to
the Storey county Hospital. The
poor chap does not seem to meet
with much sympathy, owing Of
course to his manner of life, and the
only regrets heard have more refer
ence to the locality of the fracture
than to the desirability of the occur
ence. His family, which heretofore has
been suffering for some of The necessa-
les of life, but still we're not fit sub
jects for county charity, are now lett
entirely destitute, and as the county
will provide, are to be congratulated
on the change in their circumstan'
ces.

Pink Eye.

According to the theories of the
most advanced scientific men nature
is continually progressing. She is
in her customs something like the
Great Yankee Nation, always expert
menting, eliminating what is found
to be useless or bad, and making
trial OF something new. Disease
seems to be a necessity to animal
progress, and new forms are contin-
ually being brought out by the man
ufacturer. Men, cattle, horses and
everything else have to assist in the
experiments and take their turn in
suffering for the general advance
towards perfection. Cholera and
Yellow fever were brought out as
substitutes for the plague, and, al
though they have operated for a
great many years with apparent sue
cess, it now seems that they did not
give satisfaction as elin.inators, and a
new and hitherto unheard of disease
has sprung up in Missouri, called
Black Rot. which will probably su-
porsede our old friends in the esti-
nation of medical man. Cattle
have for ages baen afflicted with
Hollow-h horn, Big, head, ETC., but
theue not answering every purpose,
Black-leg has appeared, whether it
will meet the demands remains to be
seen. Horses have done their share
of suffering in the cause of natures
experiments, and have been the vic
tins of innumerable ills, all of
course tending in the end to the gen.
eral equine good. The Epizootic of
a few years ago was an improvement
on former ailments, which, although
not praised very highly, received
very general application, but it was
not sufficient in itself to keep up
with the advance in horse anatomy,
and an addition or improvement was
required this year, which has been
furnished under the name of Pink
eye, which is now rapidly spreading
through the stables of the country,
and will doubtless hold sway until
the slow but steady change continu-
ally taking place in existing
conditions renders it inefficient.
The following symptoms of the
disease, as given in an eastern
exchange, are given for the benefit
of our ranchers:
at first appears in the horses eyes,
which become very watery, with the
eyelids infsmed, and run sn often
sive matter. The horse goes clear
off his feed. His neck swells, and
| his limbs almost double in eize. He
must at once be retired from service.
His condition is delicate, and the
utmost care must be taken to prevent
his catching cold. l knew nothing
of the disease, and nv first horse
caught cold, which brought about a
most offensive catarrh."

Cheap Insurance.

The good results already shown
by the work of the A. o. U. W. in
the matter of cheap insurance and
prompt payment has shown that its
method far exceeds the old insurance
company plan. The Order which in
addition to the beneficiary feature
has also incorporated in its plan some
of the charitable and mutual aid
features Of other and. older societies,
is now In a fiourishing condition in
Nevada. Idaho has been asking for
the establishment of Lodge in their
Territory, aud an agent has gone
from Nevada to make the necessary
arrangements. While it is a secret
society and partake of some of the
characteristics of other secret orders,
it is mainly business institution.
which furnishes cheap insurance and
certain payment. The funds are not
wasted in paying for extrayagant
offices and high priced officials, but
60 directly from the pockets or the
members to the hands of the benf-
ciary. Miners and mountaineers
engaged 10 precaricus accu-
pations, who in case of death would
leave family or friends unprovided
for have no longer the excuse of ex-
pensive insurance rate and uncer-
tainty of payment. A number of
sudden deaths have occurred Of late
in this region, aud in almost every
case the same story is told of wife
and children left without means of
support. While the door is open to
all OF good character and reasonable
health, and while the cost is com
paratively slight, it is almost crimi-
nal to forbear from providing against
accidents which may come at any
