Who Owns the Nugget

We are reliable informed that tho Tombstone Daily Nugget is now ownec by men having large interests in the town and district, and that John R. Farrell, Esq, we'll and favorable known in Tue son, is the controlling editor. Mr. Fareil IS one of the brightest men of his age He is well verseed in all affairs, and par ticularly known by all Arizonians, as ,s1ch. Under his management the Nugget will doubtless become enc of the most re liable journals as to mining matters, h' having for several years had persona superintendence, of large mining proper ties, and it will support the right mel and measures for the good of Coclis' county, else we will be much mistaken in the premises. We surely hope muc' for the paper under his charge Citizen
 Well we don't believe the Nugget i owned by men of Tombstone. We d. believe that it is principally owned by { gentleman of Prescott.-Ed MINER.

An Experimental Drunk.

A st, Louis preacher, never having
tasted whiskey, bought half a gallon
of it to study it's effects, in order the
better to describe them in the tenn
perance sermonhe was preparing. To
avoid publicity and accidents he
locked himself in his study and threw
the key out of the window. In less
than an hour he was sing
ing and dancing instead of writ
ing; about 4 o'clock in the after
noon he climbed out Of the win
dow and slid down the lightning
rod, fell into swill barrel, kissed
woman in the street, got licked by
two men at different times, bjoke a
window, stole dog, sassed police
man and got run in. The Judge
socked it to him most awfully-thirty
days-but his church forgive him
and took him back on his solemnly
promising that he would hereafter
discuss the temperance question from
purely theoretical standpoint

from Jno. M. Cordell, who pretends to
be chairman of the Republican com
mittee Second Congressional district
OF Tennessee, who assumes to say
that Houk will not enter into joint
canvass with Mr.. Rule. We assume
that Cordell spoke by authority, and
that he reflects Houks opinions and
wishes, but Mr.. Rule has had no
correspondence with him and pro
poses to have none on this subject.
He regards his pretensions as bogus.
After waiting three days for reply
to his respectful note, Mr.. Rule has
made list of appointments which
will be found elsewhere, and an invi~
tation has been extended to Houk to
meet him, when fair division of
time will be accorded.
Houk's refusal to engage in joint
discussion with his competitor will
excite surprise. Before the canvass
opened, he and his friends boosted
of his superiority on the stump, and
laughed about how he would "use
up Rule" They have made num-
Der of speeches together, and Houk 8
experience has led him to the con
clusion that his interests will not be
best subserved by joint discussion.
And for the first time in thirty years,
and we don't know how much long,
er, we have candidate for Congress
who is afraid, and refuses to meet
his competitor on the stump in a
Joint discussion. What will his
friends now think of his boosted
and much vaunted ability as a stump
speaker! @

that Mr.. Rule had addressed note
on Monday to L. c. Houk, proposing
the arrangement of list of appoint

men have more respect for a rascal
than for fool The worshippers of
Juggernant know that he is ugly

somehow or other he is powerful apd

devotees. When Houk made his
''pizen" speech, supporters of his
who cared nothing for his getting
drunk, hung their heads in shame at
his excuse; but when he stated and
published to the world that he had
never made such a speech, knowing
that hundreds of men could prove
that he did make it, his worshippers

The insolent Endorsement of Houk
by the Congressional committee is
partly based upon the supposition
that Ruleis the choice OF the. DEM

Houk. Still he seems to need the

IT is singular what a trivial thing
will sometimes givea man disagree
able notoriety that will operate more
to his disadvantage than positive
and aggressive opposition. This is
illustrated in the case of ex-Gover~
nor B. Gratz Brown, of Missouri
who, in his drinking days Che is a
teetotaler now, was once guilty of
buttering a slice of watermelon.
The absurd act was pub
Gshed, and, trifing as it was,
any mention of his name is general
ly accompf nied by some alhsion to
it. AS Governor of Missouri, to say
nothing of his senatorial career, Mr..
Brown did many things for the pub~
lie welfare, but all recollection of
those deeds seem to have died while
the incident of the buttered water
melon lives.
The incident of Houk's ''pizen"
story will live in the recollection of
the people of East Tennessee long
after he is gathered with his faith
ers. Fifty years or more hence he
will be referred to as the "pizened
Congressman.

Hope Ahead.

A committee of stockholders who
waited upon the superintendent of a
California mine to ask why in blazes
the said mine hadn't panned out any
thing but assessments, were graciously
received, invited to be seated, and the
official explained:
'Gentlemen, you are all aware of
the fact that we had scarcely begun
work when the mouth of our mine was
blocked by land slide. That put us
back month"
They nodded their remembrance.
"Then we had just got in shape to
to take out 1000 tons of ore, worth
$4,000 per ton, when the mine caved
in. You recall it?'
They did.
'Once more we bent ourselves 20 the
burden of reaping $500 for every $40
invested, when the mine was flooded by
subterranean river"
That was also true.
"Then we had Just got the water out
when we discovered that our mine was
located on another mans claim. We
had him shot to prevent trouble, and

How the Jeanette Sank.

The San Francisco Gail publishes
letter from DR.. ii. G. Ledyard, an
American, now in Siberia, TO friend
in that city. AT Irkutsk DIR. Ledyard
met Lieutenant Danenhower, who gave
him interesting details of the loss of
the Jeanette. Since the first fall they
were out, when they were caught by
the ice in trying to reach Herald Island,
they had never taken course, but the
vessel was held as in jaws of death,
squeezed until every timber was strain
ed. They were every hour in suspense,
never knowing when the ice would
close upon them. Throughout this
strain they were well and tried to be
cheerful. They worked very hard,
for the engine and the men were
barely able to keep the water out.
They had to pump for year and a
half.
On June IL, 1881, the crisis came.
The ship showed greater straining than
before, the deck quivered and inexpli-
cable movements warned them 10
hasten from the vessel. They prepared
their boats and made their camp be-
side the Jeanette. She rose and
turned in her cradle until the yards
touched the ice. Then the rigging
gave away and her masts lay PROSTATE.
AT o'clock in the morning the foe
parted and all went down. A cry of
alarm called all to escape from the
crevice in the ice. 1t opened just
through the captains tent. Then be-
gan the retreat. For twenty. nine days
they struggled southwark, 800 miles
of broken ice being thus passed over.
Four miles a day was thought good
fortune. After one series of fourteen
days they were twenty seven miles
further north than at first. While
working over the ice and dragging
three boats they discovered Bennett
Island, to explore which they spent
three weeks of their precious summer
day and expended much of their limited
supply of food. To this detour those
who survived attribute much of their
suffering aud the death of their
commander, with nineteen men. After
three months of this perilous and ey-
hausting work they came to blue water,
and then, with fair winds, took their
course for the mouth of the Lena river
Chief Engineer Melville's boat was stove
against block of ice and the captains
boat lost her mast and sail. The cap
tain landed with all well, but aban-
doned the boat, as the water was shall
low and could not make the channel of
the river.

A Very Old Bell.

The bell hanging in the belfry of the
Episcopal church in Ellicottville, N.Y.,
is one of the Oldest in America. 1t
was cast in Moscow, Russia, in 170s,
and was one of chime of bells in a
cathedral in that city. The cathedral
was burned by Napoleon in 1911.
Several years afterward the bell was
sold in lot of old metal which became
ballast for a vessel sailing to New York
without cargo. Andrew Meneeley,
of Troy, discovered it in scrap pile
in New York years afterward. He
bought it and for long time it was
kept by him at his bell foundry in Troy
as curiosity. In 1881 a resident of
Ellicottville went to Troy to buy bell
for the Episcopal church which had
been completed. He induced the
foundryman to sell him the old Russian
bell. 1t has been in use ever since,

Amole Plant that Yields Soap.

These cacti grow on the American
continent from Mount Shasta on the
north to similar latitude in South
America, and from the Pacific coast to
east of the Rio Grande, through New
Mexico, and western Texas.
The flower stalks are destitute Of
leaves but are plentifully supplied with
branches about eighteen inches long,
from which flowers of white and yel-
low colors are suspended in the
Towering season. The dubious root is
from one to six inches in diameter and
from six to eighteen inches long.
A saponaceous juice is expressed
from the root and the fibre of the
leaves is heckled for the manufacture
of mattresses, cushions, and chair seats.
The vegetable soap extracted from the
root has been used by the Indians,
Mexicans, and others for many years
as hair wash, and exceeds in purity
our manufacture from animal sub
stances.
The preservative qualities of the
soap are we'll known, and its use gives
the hair fine natural glow, preventing
decay of the hair and eradicating
dandruff or other impurities on the
scalp.
Cattle eat the leaves in the Spring
as purgative. And cut into bits and
thrown on water where fish abound,
the effect is stupefacation of the fish,
when they can be easily taken.
The price among the Indians and
Mexicans, who sell it in Tucson, is five
cents for bunch of two stalks inter.
laced (mancuerna).
For cleaning fiannels the amole is
found vastly superior. 1t may be
hoped that the manufacture and prep
aration of amole may become one of
the industrial pursuits of the age
