Nsrthern AriseSa Peril.

Frog the Arizons Miner.
 Arizona, ever since her settlement by white men, has labored under diff 6culties of all kinds. For years the Indians deterred immigration and capital from the outside world. Fi- nally, after years of hard fighting, they were conquered by the military authorities, anu placed on rsserva. tions, and peace and plenty reigned supreme; prosperity shone on us; our towns and villages were filled with enterprising and energetic men ; railroads entered our borders, and thrift and prosperity wero marked everywhere. Then the cowboy ele. ment took posse ssion of southern Arizona; stages and trains were robbed, settlements entered and ran. sacked, cattle and horses stolen and run off, and men who dared to pro. tect thelr property were shot down without warning. Northern Arizona, mp to within few months ago, was free from this iawless class, but upon the commencement of the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, that spirit of desperation seems to have taken hold of this section. Reports of crimes and depredations come in almost daily from the line of the rail. road, and unless some action IS soon taken to check the course of this crowd, Arizona will once more be placed in the turmoil of war.

Wells, Farss q Cs's Express

There was report on the street ysstsr. day that Wells, Fargo & Co. were goine to haul of their express from the T4ns- stone routes. Upon inquiry st .ns jfice, our reporter was informed by ?. B. Hume, the compahy's delectlve. .Shst the subject had never been considered by the executive officers in San Francisco up to the present tune. He said that he advi sed the taking of the Bisbee line, and x dis patch had been received ordering that of. flee to be closed and the stationery and other supplies brought down to Tomb. stone.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Guiteau arrived at the court house about $50 A. M., and was taken to the waiting room. He appeared rather nervous and his countenance indicated anx. iety. When he had taken seat ,n the dock he glanced around steathily and immediately began harargue, evidently intended for the jury.
 "I have received some eight hun dred letters, a great many of them from ladies. When I get time l shall attend to them. want to send my greeting to the ladies of America and thank them for their sympathy. They don't want me to be hanged. Public opinion is fast changing. l received ~aturday a check for $100O from the stalwarts of Brooklyn, and another for $5O0 from the stalwarts of New York. I want the jury to understand how public opinion is on this case" .,. .t

From the Florence Enterprise.
 A large number of ore sacks were sent up to Mineral Hill Saturday They were consigned to Mir. John D. Sibbald and will be used in shipping ore from the Cholla and Wedge.
 A large number of the juvenile Florentines are moping around, now. a.days, with more flaw" about them than IS possessed by the average mother-in-law. They are suffering from humps.
 A force of thirty men will be put to work on the Specie Paying mine, on or before the first of next month, MT. Thomas B. Fish, the forem an, is now engaged in making preparations for the work. .... -.-t ..t ..-..

 Mir. Whitaker. of Tucson, was here this week, and secured several good claims at Mineral Hill. He proposes organizing company at Tucson to work these claims. Like every other man who has given the district a careful and fair examina. tion, he considers it one of the most promising mineral fields Tn the west.
 MT. c. D. Henry, of Cottonwood, was in town this week. He is pre- paring to ship ore from one of his copper claims, located on the river, about ten miles above Florence. He can take out large amount of ore that will average 40 to 60 per cent. copper. This can be mined and shipped at handsome profit.
 We predicted last week that ce- ment would yet be discovered in this county, and our prediction has been fulfilled already. Thomas McLelland hxs discovered this value able mineral on the Caledonla copper claim. He has not prospected it sufficiently to determine the quantity, but the quality is first. class. He came in from the Caledonia Monday, and besides specimens of the cement, he brought with him lot of magnif. cent copper ore. He reports strike of six-fo,'t vein of red oxide of copper in the Caledonia and sees in in the future the probability of his becoming a millionaire. He certainly has reason to be jubilant, if the specimens brought in are fair average of the vein, and he states that they are.

An Arizona Plan.

from tnt Cdh riAnclhcO Exchunge.
 It would save time, money, mental worry, rows, political conventions, and a good many other things, if the Arizona plan of allowing distinguish ed and ambitions citizens to an. nounce themselves as candidates for civic offices was followed in this city, and by pooling their issues, so to speak, the expense to each candidate would be nominal. If the Tomb stone plan was adopted, the Daily Exchange and its esteemed contem- poraries would contain an advertise. ment somewhat to this effect:
 NOTICE.
 We hereby announce ourselves as candi. dates for

 Maurice G. Blake, Isaac s. Kalloch. J. Henley smith, Robert Howe, Frank Mo Coppin, John H: Wise, George K. Fitch, NJ. H. DcYoung, ..orlng Pickering, w. T. Baggett, John White, A. c. Heister, Fred eric McCrelish, I. N Choynski, 5. s. Bamberger, Dennis Kearney and many others.
 By this means convention wire pullers and pot-house politicians would become things of the past, and the golden age of municipal pol. itics set in with g big boom. The gentle voter would merely look over the list of would like ito. he mavors and select the man of his choice. There would be no fuss, no friction of any kind.

 I have been watching the effects of prohibition as it went into effect all up and down this bayou, and, sir, from the results, as made patent to the most casual observer (if unprej- udiced, ] lie cannot fail to see. that tue law not only does work, but has had the most marked effect upon the community at large, and that for good.

The county had to bear the burden resulting from their pros ecution. Since tue doggeries have all been closed my occupation as a justice of the peace has dwindled down to very insignificant propor- tions.
