The Tombstone Nugget has this to say of the Chenowetb case. which is now attracting so much attention in this part of the Territory
 The case of the Territory vs. Cheno- wcth. after several pOstpOnements and much gossip, came up for tnal yester- day in Justice Spicers court, and although the Acting District Attorney invoked the order to exclude all persons from the court room, especially reporters, the Nugget, as usual, presents its readers w.,h a full report of the examination Miss Lena Crowley, the complainant, being swon. testified that on the Sth
 instant she having called at Mrs. Porters' Co obtain small sum of money due her, Was called into room m which was

Neat aS a Pin."


 The last words of great men, which
 have been treasured, would perhaps hil a volume of noordinary dimensions, but we venture to say that nune of them are more worthy of being remembered than those oi poor carpenter who died very suddenly at Orange, Los Angeles county. The Santa Ana Standard tells of man named GarneJt S. Yates, of Westminster, who dropped dead while a- work on a new building. The account says Le had just hung a door, and hay ug swaycd it back and forth Go satisfy himself that it was properly hung, he was heard to remark. Neat as a pm These were his last words. In a fev-' moments he dropped down in a it of apopeNy and died. The man fell at his post oi duty, and his last w0rds-Called tor,h, perhaps, by a Commendable pride in his mechanical skIll-werc in apprOv- al of hi, last act We know nothing as Co the life of the deceased, but the cir Cuustalcls attending his last moments could not have been of more admirable character He was following the honor able occupation whicE he had chosen as a means of livelihood; and was evidently possessed with the idea that he was un- der moral obligation to do his best. He felt that he had no right to slight a task for which he was Co be paid. It IS pos siJle that he may not have thus con sidercd the matter. It may have be come @ "habiJ with him to do his best, ahich was far dealing not only with his employer, but with himself And so we ind him indulging in words of approval as he goes along with his work. This man occupied an humble position, but if his daily life accorded with his last words. none has been nobier. Al all events the closing scene of his earthly career IS both suggestive and beautiful lt will be well with an of us if we can use this humble carpenters approving words, as we per form our every day dutes. And when the time comes for each of us to lay down the burdens of life, nothing can be n0bler, grander than tO be able to re- view our past career, and pronounce it ''ne5t as a pin.

Cowboy Dsnredations.

TUCSON. February 10, 1882.
 EuITOK CITIZEN-The Star yesterday morning contained several articles in reference Co the Iavless state of affairs in sou,heastern ArizouA Evidently the writer of said articles has but a faint conception Of the euormity and masni- tude of the depredations committed in said section ofthe SO called cowboys who style themselves rustlers, the proper construction of the latter phrase being the iorcible taking possession of anything they may see winch they cove;. The cowboy organization IS now composed of not less Ihan I75 men well mounted, armed and equipped with innumerable siders and abeuors interspersed through our the section of country where they roam. This formidable lawless element is the outgFowth of nucleus which in July 1878, did not exceed eight men, who then confined their depredations to horse stealing. These SO called cow boys are to a great extent fugitives from justice from ali parts of the United States.
 The county authorities of Cachise county have acknowledged their in- ability % suppress these outlaws and the great number of murders, stage rob- berries and other depredaJions too numer- ous io mention that have octurred m said county with no capture or conviction Of the perpetrators thereof is proof posi- tive of their inability to restore order in this bugand-infested section. Many residents of Cachise county, in order to protect their lives and property are com pelled to countenancc these freebooters while many others derive indirect bene- it from them and consequently are friendly disposed towards them. If by chance one or more of these robbers are arrested they have innumerable friends through whom they always do prove an alibi Hence they obtain their lib- erty regardless of what may be the evil dence against them. Iventure to assert that a conviction of one of these festive cowboys will never be obtained in Ca chise county 80 long as the present state of affairs exists. I have conversed with many of the leading citizens of Tomb stone, and they with one accord assert that the industries of the county are paralyzed through the lawlessness ex- isting there. Much hope is expressed that our new Governor, Hon. r. A. Tri- tie. will soon institute measures for the relief of this most unfortunate commu- nity. These cowboys have not only set at defiance the laws of the Territory, but also those of the United States, both national and international, and through the depredations they have committed in Sonora and Chihuahua, the Govern ment of Mexico will claim damages from our Government to the extent of several million dollars. Unfortunately the United States Marshars office has not had at its disposal funds sufficient to enforce the laws, otherwise these ma rauders would long since have been dis posed ot Yours, truly, J. W. E.

We met Mir. George Geddes last even- ing, who had just come in from the front. He says the track-layers are now at Hayden's, in Temecula Canyon. He reports good progress on the work at Box Springs, for which he and X. D. Gassen have the contract. Some SIX hundred men are now employed at that point The company have adopted the plan of building "cribs,' UpOu which temporary bridges are laid, leaving tine carpenters to follow after and complete the permanent structures. This method will prevent the track-laying from being retarded As sooE as the track gets out of the canyon, 1t will be lad very rap idly across San JacintO plains, which IS some thirty miles. The indications still continue that the work will be pushed tO a completion with all possible dis patch.-San Diego Union.

IT is probably safe to assert that there
 s no commodity n course of production ID this country which has had such a marvellous growth as that of the
 Michigan salt staple The hrst salt was produced m the State in IS6O. The production increased from about 4,ooo barrels m ISOo to 56O,SIS barrels in
 1909, when the State Inspection law went into effect The lncEease was gradual and nearly uninterrupted 1p e, ISSI when the producuOn was 2,75O,299 barrels. The entire product of the State up to the close of the year 1881 was nearly cI,S7c.247 barrels. The salt producing territory of Michigan covers, as uow developed, over S,OOo square miles. The reservoir Is a series of stand stores and shales, from G,OOO tO I,2OO feet in thickness, called by geOlOgistS the waverly group. It Is a sea-coast rock, in which the prints of seaweeds and the fossil remains of enormous marine growths arc found, and is saturated, spOnge-Eke, with the brine. Presumably centuries ago the waves of pre- atlantic ocean broke upon that shore and jmpyeguated It with its saline riches The wells range from 900 Co 1ooo fee. In depth. the brine is easily pumped, and the yield varies from twelve Go twenty gallons per minute. A single vc.i has yielded 10000 barrels in a man season of eight months, andthe annual product of some Companies has reached So,ooo barrels. The pr!ce of saIt has varied since its manufacture began m Michigan from SGS5 to 5 cents per barrel; the average for 1881 was S5s5 cents.-Naine Mining Journal

 The work on the addition to the Southern Pacific hotel was commenced this week. The hotel, though large and convenient Is not able Co accommodate the travelling and town public.
 The matter Of the coming fall election is being daily discussed. Five men want Co be sheriff, four treasurer, three for recorder, nobody for district attorney, and everybody else wants Co go to Con gress.
 lt is the purpose of Governor Perkins, of California, Co establish a quarantine point at the crossing oi the Colorado nvtr at Yuma. The same has been done at the TIuckee. This has been done at the suggestion Of State Board of Health Of California, and the Governor has promptly aCcceded Co thcir request. The Governor has large contingent fund for this purpose and Is disposed io use this fund liberally for the prevention of the smallpox.
 Al a Late meeting of the Board of Territorial Prison Commissioners, they moved Co call upon the Treasurer for lhe DaldIlCc or the dppIopIidllol AldlG Dl the last Legislature. Twenty thousand dollars were then appropriated and only seven thousand dollars have been expended. There Is yet left thirteen thousand dollars, and the Board propose to utilize this balance ol appropria- ton for the purpose of building additional cells. The prison has already more cells than will be required, in all probability, for some tune to come. We regard the expenditure of the SI5,OoO, m this manner as an unnecessary c.- penditurc. Let this fund be utilized for better purposes. The prison has a superintendent and requires his every attention here. who has no accomoC1- tions, and Is liable to be called at any hour of the night. In view of these facts, we kindly suggest to the Prison Board to eXpend a sufficient amount Of the balance of the appropriation, for the erection of comfortable buildings for thls officer, and also prison wall. Gels sufficient have been built, and now let this fund be appropriated to some more beneficial purpose. The building oi a wall will be a great saving in the employ menf of rtlards.
