New York special to the Chicago Press.
DR.. Norvin Green, President OF the
Western Union Telegraph Company
testified before the Senate Committee
on Education and Labor Thursday.
He said that the value of Western
Union stock il made up oil the fran
chises, exclusive patent rights, and
eight hundred favorable contracts with
railroad companies The present cap
italizltio is 800 a mile, which is only
one third OF what it was. so that the
stock, instead Of being waIer d, has
been through a process Of distillation
The lines have been extended skiold
since 1866. The number u fofices has
been increased. so that here are now

He had observed that since the British

Great Britain, and the cbiei advances

that four teuths Of the expenses OF
the company consist Of salaries. He
denied the statement Of the Tele

paid TO the operators average $54 a

This last straw was a severe blow e
them, aud when they struck the Vel
lowstone river they got out Of the car
and proposed TO take a"baWth' 10 the
limpid water thereof. Uncle Rufus
sent them word that they might battle.
but the train would 20 on Just the
same. This called back the dudes 10
the car. and the rest Of the Journey
was completed without much trouble.
When the park sss reached, however
the
DUDES BROKE OUT AGAIN
They gamboled around, Hirted OF
tried to firt with girls, talked twad
dies louder than everybody else, and
failed.to see a single thing in the great
wonders Of nature presented TO them
which they deemed attractive. On,
morning, after they had rested at the
hotel in the park Over night, Uncle
Rufus succeeded at great trouble IL
getting three pretty riding ponies fol
his particular lady friends, and had
them brought to the hotel. The dude.
we're around aud saw them They
imagined that the ponies had been OBJ
tanned for their especial benefit, and
accordingly mounted the side saddles
and rode away to explore for them
selves. and possibly fnd some favora
able place where they might
TAKE A BAwTH, you KNOW.
When Uncle Rufus came up with
bis lady friends and found two
ponies gone, he was mad. Then be
put up a wicked job. Two guides
had been hired for the expedition,
aud they we're instructed TO get
the ponies. Accordingly they rugged
themselves up with white sombreros,
Remington rifles and big holster pis-
tolls and took after the dudes. About
two miles out they overlook them and
held them up, robbing them Of the
ponies aud everything they had, aud
frightening the daylights out of them.
The ponies were then led back to the
hotel by another route and the ladies
and Uncle Rufus started Of for their
ride, In about an hour
THE DUDES APPEARED.
They we're hot, tired and scared.
They wanted to 90 home. They bad
been "Wobbed by 'ighwGymen, and
their hearts we're sick. After awhile
their property was returned to them,
aud the ponies were accounted for and
the two young ducks retired to their
rooms to commune with their inner
most soulB. II is not reported whether
they have been able to take the

Weekly Phoenix herald. [volume] (Phoenix, Maricopa County, Ariz. Territory [Ariz.]) 1882-1896, 1883-01-12

By the first of April the mining
interests of Phoenix will receive an
impetus by the erection of good
sized smelter on one of the copper
mines Of Casrs Creek and the cree
ton of forty-sfamp mill on one of
the Cave Creek mines. The latter,
We are crcdi5ly informed, will be
put up during next month, or at
least the business of putting it up
will begin then The energetic
work being done in both the sections
Of country named will, ere long,
bring yet other mills and smelters
into this region of country where
they will find almost limitless work
|and ample remuneration
Weekly Phoenix herald. [volume] (Phoenix, Maricopa County, Ariz. Territory [Ariz.]) 1882-1896, 1883-01-12

THE twelfth biennial Legislature
of the Territory convened yesterday
at noon In the Capital OF the Terri
tory. That the session is to be one
of more than ordinary interest is
evinced by the fact that every mem :
Der elected, or who thought he was
elected, was on hand and eager for
the fray" What the result OF the
contest for Speaker of the House and
President of the Council will be is
yet unknown, as no intimation has
at present writing reached US. If
Pima and Cochise hold together they
will elect Wicks of Tucson as Speaker
over Rowe of Yavapai, and, though
it is a mere guess with some indica-
tions to go upon, it is not improbable
that Major Welton of Mohave and
Yuma will be president of the Coun-
Gil. Both Houses, in the aggregate,
are composed of superior material,
and some excellent work may be
looked for. 1t is 10 be hoped that
the Legislature will again memorial
ize Congress to open portion of the
San Carlos reservation to settlement
If these Apaches lived entirely from
keeping fiocks and herds they have
nearly four time, as much Territory
Arizona needs all her agricultural
lands for settlers who will be worth
something to her. The very best
lands of the Territory are scooped
up by these Indian reservations and
allowed to waste, for but a fraction
of them are ever used.
Since the above was written we
have received information that an
order has come from Washington to
the Surveyor General to survey and
open up portion of the reservation
to settlers j
Our Territorial prison needs con-
sideration. From the Sentinel we
learn that it is greatly overcrowded
and quite inadequate for the purpose
of combining the rapidly increasing
number of criminals that have been
sent up the last few months. Relief
in this direction must come and
come soon, or there will be much
suffering during the hot season
among the conyicts. A memorial to
Congress for the needed assistance
would probably accomplish its OBJ
ject, or at least elicit some help.
Weekly Phoenix herald. [volume] (Phoenix, Maricopa County, Ariz. Territory [Ariz.]) 1882-1896, 1883-01-12

ARIZONA mines are gradually com.
ing to the front on the San Francis
CO stock boards, and we believe are
soon to lead Nevada and all other
mining stocks in that city. On the
5th inst Northern Belle, Comstock
mine and one which pays a SOC divi-
dend sold at $3.50 while Silver King,
which pays 25c dividend, sold en-
the same board for $40, a circum-
stance that can be accounted for in
no other way than that there Is a
greater feeling of security in Arize-
ma mines, as there well might be.
Our interests in that direction are
really substantial, and our mines
well nigh inexhaustible. In most
of the mines that have been dcvel-
oped and put on the market there is
no experiment; ore is generally in
sight sufficient to run them and pay
a handsome dividend for years to
come, and of course people prefer to
take stock paying smaller but sure
dividend rather than stock paying a
large dividend which is liable to be
turned into an assessment at any
time.

For several days the question of
the division into lots and the sale of
the upper plaza for the purposes of
business has agitated the public
mind of the town, consequent on
resolution of the Town Council to
petition the legislature as just stated.
Some weeks ago the HERALD dis
cussed this subject, and now after
careful inquiry we find no cause to
change cur ideas as expressed at
that time. at present writing the
business men about the east plaza
are by no means a unit as to what
shall be done with it. We believe
the town at large is a unit on the
question, and to the effect that the
plaza should remain as it is. The
pleasant feature which this plaza
adds to the town is not to be lightly
set aside. 1t most Enthusiastically
adds to our town attractions, and as
the town becomes more wealthy will
continue 10 add still more and more.
The reply that it is nothing but an
expense to the town and resort for
DRINKS and deposit of filth, to us,
seems more of G reflection on our
town government than an argument
in favor of the disposition of the
plaza. If every drunk caught on
the plaza and about the streets were
invited, as he should be, by our town

rider who deal in seeds ETC., have
en- playing a sharp little game
aich the postal authorities are af-
er. Cansdian postage rates en-
leeds, bulbs, etc, arc much less than
bat of the Ulited States, and to OBJ

been in the habit of shipping their
goods TO Canada in bulk and there
mailing them to parties in the Uni
ted States, thus saving large per-
centage in postage. The result will
be that Congress will probably pass
a bill lowering the rate on these ar
ticles.
