says Mr.. j. Richards, who had arrived there
from Dakota, tells p;tiful story of the SUI
fcrings of the PEOPLE living along the river
bottom. The severe winter had run them
short of wood, and. owing to the heavy snow
fall, the roads were impossible, causing them
to suffer from cold and hunger. A large
number of people died from exposure, and
others had contracted diseases which will
terminate in consumption. Mr.. Richards
was of the opinion that many residents would
leave the Territory and seek more agreea-
be climate. The snow in many places was
still from four to five feet deep and was
melting slowly.

"A fashionable dressmaker tells the
Cincinnati Enquirer that the chief trOu-
BILE with women's forms is their irregu-
larity. "The number whose two sides
do not correspond is wonderful. Some
times one shoulder is higher than the
other. sometimes one hip is bigger, and
sometimes the whole figure is awry.
Women's dress, in this era of clinging
garments, reveals every imperfection,
unless art comes to natures help"
Pads are often sufficient to produce
symmetry, according to this expert. but
STOPPING is something that the dress
makers art cannot remedy. "It is a
common defect in American girls" she
says. Round backs are Interestingly
numerous, and what can we do for
theme Nothing at oil. l feel some
times like putting them asoak, and then
strapping them flat on a board. Papoose
fashion, in the hope of Strengthening
them. Parents ought to look sharp aft
er their little girls in this particular,
and put braces on them if necessary"

Death of T J. Morgan.

The sad news of the death of T. J. Nor
 gan was wired to his friends from the Verde
 last evening, just after he had spoken his
 last words and closed his eyes upon all
 things of this world. 4 few days since he left home with Hon. W. s. Head for the
 purpose of recuperating his poor health on the Verde, little thinking that he would be
 brought back prepared for the tomb. Mir. Morgan has resined in Prescott for several years, and has been, during all this time engaged in the jewelry business. In his dealings with his fellow man he was fair. and may the Master to whom he has gon, deal equally just with him. NIT. Morgan was, at the time of his death, about 35 years oid. native of Pennsylvania. Much in- luiry has been made as to the cause of his death and to satisfy the inquisitive mind we have made inquiry of Doctor Ainsworth, Sho gives 1t as his opinion that the immedi- ate cause Is. as yet, unknown, but probably heart troubles or abdominal aneurism The JOSS c.

MOHAvE COUNTY.

From Clark Churchill who has just re
 turned from Mineral Park, where he ha
 been attending Court, We learn that tn prospect of the advent of the railroad ha given a new impetus to mining operations Il
 that county. The mountains are filled will
 prospectors and several large sales have re gently been made and much inquiry IS made for good properties, with view to holding them for the advantage of lower freights, which will prevail when the railroad shall pass through the district.
 1 The line of the road as surveyed will be
 within a stones throw of the great Hack | berry mill and the mines ill that vicinity, and pass around the end of the Peacock range of mountains in Wallapai Valley, in sight of the districts of Chloride, Mineral Park, Ger bat and Stockton, and thence bear around in th@ direction of the Signal and McCrackin mines, leaving them at distance of about 70 miles to the left, and pass over the great Colorado near the Needles.
 Among the new enterprises now being pushed with energy at Mineral Park, without waiting for the railroad, Is that of Messrs. tiIOn o NIOulltiS. HIS HTlI IS composed of active partners of Major Welton, late of California. w. F. Grounds. uf Mineral Park, and one of the discovereTS of the won derful Lone Star mine of that place This copartnership has the backing of the wealth lest of California business men, and its oper- ations will extend to mining milling and concentration of ores shipment and mer- chandlslng. They are now constructing con- IL Lone Star mine These works are of the most substantial kind will be one of the most compete establishments ol the kind in the Territory, and while this establishment Is being erected the company are proceeding with the further development of the mine with the new hoist ing works lately erected, and they have en. ugh ore on the dump already to keep the works running quite long time The great Silver King will have to look well to its lau- rels when these works shall have been put in operation, or the Lone Star will throw even its wonderful yield into the shade. Without making any invidious comparison as against the King" whose great yield Is the most undisputed evidence of its value, 1t seems that the Lone Star Is beyond dis pute one of the great mines of the country and entitled to have its name ''Star"
 The operations of Messrs Welton & Grounds make things lively at the Park and they are sure of success.

Prescott vs. Verde.

Yesterday afternoon the match game be tween the Verde and Prescott Baseball Club resulted m the inglorious defeat of the Pres
 cOtt club by a score of G6 to 2.
 Game was called few minutes after one
 with the Verde to the lat, and by good play
 ing on the part of the town boys they only
 scored two runs. The Prescott Club, on talk
 ing ins, made three runs, thus placing them selves one ahead The game, at this stage, promised to be very close and exciting. In the first of the second inning, however, the
 Verde boys, by heavy batting, and misman- agement. errors and carelessness on the part oi the Prescott Club, secured twenty-one runs, and the home-club on taking the bat, scored whitewash, leaving the score 23 to 3. even innings From this time on 1t was plainly seen that II was a one sided affair, U Prescott club being terribly discouraged and showing no disposition to retrieve their lost hOnors, and 1t went on at this rate until the close of the .:ame.
 Not knowing the names of all the members of the Verde Club, it is impossible to give each individual the credit which is due. but as crowd they are all good players, under stand each others game, and it would be hard matter to find club in Prescott to beat them. Their conduct was highly con- mendable, and We should be pleased if the at Verde would allow them to come up again before the season is over
 In the Prescott Club, the playing of Messrs, McAbee, Dake and "Toughee" was ex- tremely good, and had the other members of the club taken as much interest in the game as these gentlemen did 1t would, no doubt, have resulted differently The ab- sence of a catcher was noticeable fact, and We would respectfully suggest that good catcher be chosen, and placed in immediat" training for that position. The game passed of quietly and pleasantly, and with but one Murray, the catcher of the Verdes having his finger badly torn in the third in- ming. which necessitated his retirement There are enough good players ill Prescott to form a good club, and with practice and good arrangement, We believe can give the Verde boys strong rattle"

| The Toomes will case, which hss often
 been mentioned in these columns, and which has, during the past five years, been drag ging its slow length through the courts of Alameda county and the Supreme Court of California, has again been decided in De partment No of the Superior Court of Alameda county in favor of John 5. Butler, ! executor of the will of Mrs. Mary Isabella fOomes. The contestant, Packard. who claimed that he had discovered two cousins or the late Mrs. Toomes, in the persons of two aged Mexican, or half Indian women. It Santa Barbara, appealed from former decision to the Supreme Court, and the case was sent back for new trial on the ground that the testimony of Catholic priest was ruled out by Judge Nye Chief Justice Morrison decided that priest need not be compelled to show himself to be an expert on the subject Of insanity. but that he Is necessarily an expert by reason of his pro fessiOn.
 This time the contestants demanded a trial by jury, the priests testimony was taken, the case tried, and yesterday, May 10th, the jury decided that the will was properly exc cuted, that the testator was of sound mind and memory, and moreover. that the pre- tended heirs were not shown to bear any re- lationship whatever to the deceased.

HoR>E THIEF CAUGHT man by the name of Edward Clark, on the 18th, at Mad Igan, Camp, became infatuated with fine horse, the property of MT. Madigan, and watching his opportunity, seeing the owner dismonnt from the noble steed deliberately mounted the same and started out for pastures fresh and fields new" having fal- len out with hard work long since. Mir Madigan in a few moments discovered that his horse had been taken and immediately gave chase. Following the trail which was hot and fresh for distance of eight miles, he over hauled the gent of easy pleasure, captured him and the horse, returned to his camp and on the same day started for Pres colt with his bird, arriving here last night or rather this morning, lodging his charge in the county jail. At least one theft has been caught and safely caged in the county jail. Mir Madigan deserves credit for the prompt manner in which he followed the fellow and delivered him to justice to be dealt with i'll accordance with law.
