The Grammar Grant.

GUAYHAs, September ;.
 EDToR CTIzFN: Having noticed ar- ticles in several daily San Francisco ra- pers during the last month in relation to the Brannln Grant, which are uniformly unfair and calculated to misiead the California and indeed the whole Amer ican people, l venture tp lay before tLe public fair resume of the CoiOueis pO- sition, after having had an interview with Mm. lie has now left GUaymas for the interior of Sonora and will prob ably be absent about four weeks. His first haltIng place will be it CumoriVa, on the Gaqui river, but many miles above any Indian settlement, and thence he proceeds to the Sierra Madre mountains, distance of about 3JJ miles from Guay- mas, with the object of locating and pur- chasing certain lands which are m DO way connected with the grant, about which occasional newspaper correspond ents are SO much exercised. lt would then, 1t seems to me, be proper for tue lrrepressibla amateur spO8deut tO leave BranIan and his business alone until the time of his return, when off cial news may be impartUd to his friends direct from the main source and not collected in Guaymas from parties who know nothing about the matter.
 The lands which the Colonel proposes to buy in the Sierra Madres, he informs me, will he purchased for cash and they have no connection with those of the grant. n regard to this claim the Fed eral Judge of Guaymas refused per mission Co Alr. Grammar to make the survey, owing to some technicahty m the patent. It was suggested by the court that he should strike out the word "South' in it, and for very properly refusing to mutiiate the document by doing so the permis- sion tO survey was denied. Thus it can hardly be said that the contract expired through the ColoneIs failure Tn order ing the preliminary survey, and the Fed eral Government cannot on that account cancel it.
 Mir. Grammar says he is well content to let the matter rest With Gonzales, and in the absence of official news concern ing the Presidents action in this mat ter, 1t does not become busybOdies to positively assert that his rights are lapsed.
 The Sl0,000 which AIr. Grammar is said to be mdustUously spending are not government subsidy, but his own private property, and if he felt as if be wanted to spend 1t industriously, 1t would be mo- bOdy's business but his own. But such Is not the case. He IS using his money in the futherance of his business schemes, and that as economically as he can. There Is certainly malicious ele- ment at work when the man is directly dictated to as to what he may or may not do with his private fortune.
 As to Colonel Reed, who isrepresented in the San Francisco Chronicle Of the 14th of August as having been his See retary, such is not the fact. He brought a suit for wages against Grammar, but 1t was decided in favor of defendant, which would tend to show that Reeds claim was not right
 My opinion is that the Colonel will succeed both in the gr; n and Sierra Madre business, and by and by it may happen that those who now send sPuri- ous reports about him will then curry his favor FRANK OAKLEY.

ARMS FOR ARIZONA.
When the Volunteers are Supplied Let the
 Apaehes Beware

Acting Governor Gosper received the following dispatch, which contains in- formation of value to the different mill tia organizations throughout the Ter ritory:
 FoKT UNION ARSENAL, x. NJ, Septem- Der l4.-Governor Gosper, Fort Lowell: Three hundred 800 Sharp's carbines and twenty thousands (26,OOOl cart ridges shipped to you this day by ex- press. SHOEMAKER, Captain.
 An invoice of which the above is a du- picate was shipped the day before and was expected last night. Ii has not vet arrived, but will probably be in this evening.
 When the arms arrive, Governor Cos per will have them re-slipped to the va- rious localities where companies have been organized and are awaiting arms. When this Is done the savages can pray to the great spirit that it may not be their misfortune to fall into the hands of the volunteers, for they have no moral scruples against shooting hostile Apa- che and they do not propose to act as a posse comltatus to capture hOstiles and return them to the reservations to be longer fed at public expense.

Tn BuiId.

The Tombstone Nugget says: E1- Governor Stafford did something while here besides looking at the mines, as a contract with Shaffer 6 Lord for 2j,OO0 feet of lumber for building purposes fully proves. The lumber comes from Pine Canyon, some sixty miles from this place, and is to be delivered within the next two weeks. It will be used in the construction of a large building on the corner of Fifth and Fremont. on the lot purchased by James Toole and ex-Gov- ernor Stafford immediately after the fire The investment cannot but prove prof itable one.

GRAHAM COUNTY.
The White Elephant or Taxpayers Notes from
 the Asssssnent Ron-FersoaaI ana Business Matters

Special Correspondence of ;he Citizenl
 CA1tP THoMAs, September I2.'
 This is one of the wonderful prdduc- tions of our last Legislature-one of the achievements of which the people are least proud. It was job which. by strange combination Of other jobs, was a success. The new county is not pop ular with the people here, though Maxey Ccommonly called Camp Thomas) is the largest place within the Graham county limits Curses loud and dcep are uttered against the engineers of this scheme, and the common name for the legislative baby Is Mormon or squaw county. The officers of Graham county are: I. F. Solomon, Treasurer: O. B. Rowe, Sheriff; William Clark, Recorder: George H. Stevens, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors; P. J. Bolan, District At torney; George Lake, Probate Judre. AdOlph Solomon, Mir. Foster and \. AL Franklin, Supervisors. In re-ard to these officers, many Of them are suue- rior men and large taxpayers, but it does seem strange that for Probate Judge, who is ex-oihcio School Superin- teudent of the county, Mr. Lake should be chosen, as he Is Mormon Bishop. with three wives and sixteen children. Perhaps such matrimonial experience and the possession of so many of the rising generation better fits him for the delicate position of teaching the youu- idea the duties of life, but people here do not think so. He has further rcu- dered himself obnoxious by appointing as his deputy a man totally unfit, by character and associations. for the place.
 The assessment roll of the county shows the following leading taxpayers:

SIL89

The whole assessed value of real and personal property IS S3IlJ56, so ths ! those few tax payers named above reu- resent nearly uue-half Cf the assess. d value Of the county, and of those named | George H. Stevens was the only one de- ! sirlng the new county. But the straug- est thing IS that two men go on the 1 bonds of nearly every Ciiice holder of the county, one Of them qualifying in S1@,- ! tb) and the other in Sa.ltU. while the | assessed value of all their property i5 only one-iourth and ou9-iish of those amounts respectively. IAis shows the kind of bonds filed in the new couuty and how little protection the tax payers have against financial biund-r. IEc l Supervisors in their jad-went, have deemed it to levy tax af S1IJ per hun dred dollars, which is considered by , leading tax payers as only the preface t1 long yeasc Of official tyranny. Man, would gladly welcome @ return to the paterLal care O. Pima county, and hail with Joy the action of SberiH Laul n cOntestiEg the legality of the act crea- ting the county of Graham. AprOpus ut this Mir. Paul has had served on the proper parties here the preliminary pa- pers in the case and should he be suc- cessful Tn overturniug the legislative blunder, nearly all would rejoice that the Graham fiascO was ended.
 In regard to the recent assault of J. B. Collins on \. N. Franklin, I find the cause k well known. Under the Pima county regime, Aiessrs. Collins, Moore and McMurren were elected school trus- tees. Mr. Collins was the most pr5mi- nent man ln securing a good school house and teacher here, and his fellow citizens testified their appreciation by electinc him almost unanimously to the position of trustee. These three gentle men acted as trustees untI last week when MessTs. \. Jacobs and A.. N. Frank lin made a quiet appointment of two other trustees, retaining one of the old board Mir. Collins questioned the tlt- ness of two Of the app0iutees, one of whom IE clerk in k-gs,4-l;n's store ga non-taXpayer, and the other man with out family, and withdrew hls children from the school, considering these two appointments 8 personal insult to him self and family. The difficulty finally ended in the personal encounter men toned and Mr. Collins paid his fine for a simple assault, denying any threats of shooting, and having witnesses to the truth of his denial.
 J. B. Collins carries @ miscellaneous stock of S2j.0O0 and besides owning large store store keeps a iirst-class hotel and corral He is largely engaged in contracts. HOW furnishing 115 cords of wood to the post.
 N. Franklin tS Co. carry a fine stock aIf'T are quite successful. as their assess ment shows.
 Vukel S Neese are also extensive mer- chants, so the mercantile interests are prosperous.
 J. t. ONeil is running frst-class saloon and doing well.

hoisting works. So little change of in terest Or importance occurs in the bo- nanza mines that an attempt at writing them up results in but little information to the outside world
 How little eIertion 1t takes to be po- lite and accommodating, and yet how few understand the art. Speaking of that reminds me of the cheerful recep- tion always to be had at the Bob Inger- soil. An ice house, with mummy for host, Is warm in comparison, and a newly arrived Fin Islander would have about as clear a conception of politeness and the common courtesy due a gentleman as one meets with ill a visit to that mine.

PROFESSIONAL BEAUTIES.
Interview with Photographer Who Makes
 Actors a Speciality.
lNewYork Expres-.I

No, tine-loOking people do not al- WAYS take the best pictures. l have had magniticent-lOoking women come to me for their pictures and they have not taken good photographs. It needs prom lnent features and an expressive cOunte- nances. 4 clean-cut nose and chin can make any picture attractive. l have mo- ticed also that in some people the sim ple turn of the head will make SO great a difference in picture that 1t will render 1t unrecOgnizable even to the most lnti- mate friends of the original. This IS what has given rise to the tiattering pho tographs you have no doubt heard con demned. The only correct picture IS the full face, and it IS the most difficult one tO take. Persons who have the most classical protiles are very often cursed with the meaningless and doughy full faces that one cOuld imagine. The pop ular opinion that some people actually support themselves by having them selves photographed and selling their pictures is, m many cases entirely errO- neOus The custom IS to find a prOfes sional beauty, either actress or other wise, and propose that she have her pie ture taken free of charge, giving her as remuneration a certain number Of pho tographs. This k all. I do not know of anyone at present who derives the smallest income from pictures.
 There is one exception, however, to the rule-that of Sara Bernhardt. We gave her S1J0O for the privilege of taking her photographs and controlling the entire sale of them. No, she was not a good object: she was always in too great a hurry, and 1t was always with her that We lad the greatest difficulty in per suading her to remain before the camera when her first negative was taken. She takes a fair picture, but we depend more on her popularity than on her beauty. We disposed Of several thousands of her photographs of all sizes, but the carte de-visite was the best selling. She made a very fair full length DOT trait. but her head was not good. By the by, I might mention here an incident which occurred not many days ago to me. A California lady came to me to have her photograph taken. and she wore a magnificent dress. She told me te pay more attention to the dress than herself I did so. A few days after she came with another dress, which she told me cost 5000. She had her picture taken again the next day she came, with another dress, and 80 on throughout the week. The value Of the clothing that woman wore must have az gregated S600OO or S70,000.

A NoOted Question.

EDITORS CITIZEN: Will you permit me to ask of you the solution of some what veIed question. I have many times been asked, and as often heard 1t discussed by different individuals, what Is the name of the first mountain situate to the northeast of Tucson?" Is it Santa Catalina? or Is it Santa Catarina? If you will please impart the required information through your columns to the public, it will be highly appreciated by many inquiring minds, and will un- doubtedly be the preventing of much confusion in the future. Respectfully,
