coNPLIHESTARY TO AGENT WILCOX BUT
 EATEER HARD ON TIFFANY.


 The Leadville Herald took advantage o' Secretary Teller's recent visit to that place to ostaIn his views upon various gue7tl0rs. In relation 10 the manage neut 9' the San Carlos Agency, accord Ing to the Herald, he made the following statement: There were some few com p-sints of Irregularities always coming la, tut they were tritiiDg. As to the ad- ulnls'ration of ex-Marshal Wilcox at San Carlos, 1t has proved satisfactory m every respect. The white residents of the reservation and vicinity who had so uuiustly abused the agent had been removed, in accordance with the sug- gestion f General Crook, who stated that their absence would be more bene- tcial than the presence of a regiment of troops. These men were thieves and narauders, and General Crook, in mak- ing his report of the condition of affairs there, claimed that if the former agent had not been displaced when he was, there would have been the greatest Apa- che outbreaks ever known to the history Of the country"

THE QUESTION OF WAGES.

It will be a matter Of some surprise to
 most people on this side of the Atlantic
 to learn that the telegraph operators in
 England are relatively higher paid than
 they are in this untry. In the exam
 ination before the Senate Committee on
 Labor the other day in New York, one
 Of the witnesses said that the pay of
 Wheatstone operators In England was
 from q los. to @ los. week, and that
 man could live comfortably in any
 part of England for ten or twelve shill-
 ings a week; that would be from s7 to
 Sl4 per verk for the wages of operators,
 and, say about S25O a week for board.
 On the whole the witness (who was an
 Englishman) believed that the lot of a
 telegraph operator ID England was bet
 ter than 1t was in America. The oper- otors in England receive annually from three weeks to a months vacation, dur Ing which time their pay goes on. When sick, though his illness may extend over a period of year, he received half pay, and when old age comes on, and units the operator for work, he receives a pen sion which frequently equals his salary before he became incapacitated. This IS certainly better treatment thEh is meted out to tho operators in the United States. But the question of expense is largely owing to the different ideas and ways of living in the two countries. In England the labor ing man in all branches of busi- ness lives economically and occupies plainly furnished rooms. In this coun- try young men do not always live eco nomically. They are too apt to expend | more in living and in furnishing rooms and in dress than their salaries will war rant. There is no good reason why the lsboring man in this country should not live as cheaply as Tn England. Most of the staple articles of food in England Ire shipped from this country to Liver pool, and then distributed to all parts of he United Kingdom. Flour, beef. pork, ,orn and cheese, which constitutes the bulk of laboring mans food are mostly from this country, and it does lot seem reasonable that a man can ,et board in that country for half what le has to pay here. Our telegraph op- rators, as well as all other laboring nen, receive more wages in this country; ut when their monthly bills are paid hey have less balance on hand as the esult of their labor. We would gladly ee the wages of all lsboring men in- rsased. We would also like to see conomy practiced among the laboring [ lasses, which is not always the case in his country.

TIE number of cattle assessed on the tax rolls Of Pimo county, is 57 ,597; num- Der of horses, 6,SO5; mules, 6l7: sheep, 1925. But the assessment of cattle does not include sucking calves, which will increase the total number of cattle by 11,5lS head and five per cent to horses to include sucking colts by $40 head With the calves and colts added, the number of cattle and horses, mules and sheep in Pimo county would be as follows:
 Number of cattle, 9,ll5.
 Number of horses, 7,l35.
 Number of mules, 6l7.
 Number of sheep, 7,225.

InE Riverside Valley Echo, published

 Pacific Railroad Co. The Echo. which
 states that 1t gathered most of its iufor-
 matlon from private sources. has a plan
 for cut off road from the needles to
 Benson. The projected line runs via
 Phenix and Florence. The Echo evil dently does not know that the distance from Florence to Benson IS some 3O miles nearer by way of Tucson. than the route up the Gila and San Pedro and thatit the road was built 100 miles of road and 30 miles in distance could be saved by coming this way. When the new line IS completed, the track Is to be taken up between Yuma and Tucson. ''when" as the Echo says those towns will ''return to the silence of the desert" The Echo has settled our hash and the people of Tucson might as well gather up ther duds" and move on. The Echo's story, however. when We come to anaIyze it, Is not a serious one. In the first place, Tucson Is already the principal commercial town in ArIzona.

the Most Beautiful Thing in

asked Peck's bad boy of the grocery
man, "No, DON'T" replied the latter.
"Well," said the bad boy, 81 think the
finest thing is that story about the
Drodigal son, where the boy took all
the money he could scrape up and went
ont West to paint the towns red. He
spent his money in rlotous living, ana
saw everything that was going on, ana
got full of benzine, and struck all the
gangs of toughs, both male and female,
and his stomach went back on him,
and he had malaria, and finally he got
to be a cowboy, herding hogs, and had
to eat husks that the hogs didn't want,
and got pretty low down. Then he
thought it was pretty good scheme to
be getting around home, where they
had three meals day, and spring mat
tresses, and he started home, beating
his way on the trains, and he didn't
know whether the old man would re-
ceive him with open arms or pointed
boots, but the old man came down to
the depot to meet him, and right there,
before the passengers and the conduct
or and the brakemen, he WASH tasham-
ed of his boy, though pc was ragged,
and looked as though he had been on
the war-path, and the old man fell on
his neck and wept, and took him home
i'm hack, and had veal pot-pie for
dinner. That's what l call sense. A
good many men now days would have
put the police on the tramp anu had
him ordered out of town."

An Unpleasant Experience.

Rev. E.. Dunbar, formerly a resident
of Los Angeles, has had some unplsas-
ant experiences at Santa Ana, which are
thus described by the Standard REV.
E. Dunbar, who has been camping for
some weeks in the Trabuco cafon, had
a rather unpleasant experience few
days ago he started out from camp
on hunt, and, after travelling for sew
eral miles over mountains and up caiions.
he succeeded in killing fine deer. After
this good luck he shouldered his game
and started fer camp. He soon tired Of
his load and sat down to rest, when he
fell asleep. On waking he resumed bis
load and marched on; but having
tramped all day without water, he be.
came almost exhausted. Thinking his
chances for again seeing camp rather
slim, he proceeded to write note to the
effect that if he was found by his friends
they could rest assured that he had not
committed suicide. and that he was as
strong in the faith as ever. He put the
note in his pocket and the deer on his
back and made another effort to find
camp. He soon gave it up in despair,
however, and commenced a terrible yell
for water, his lungs being as strong as
ever. He was heard at the camp and
relief and canteen of water soon ar
rived. He stayed with the venison.

lished by A. Williams, Jr., Chief Of the
Division Of Mining Statistics, the yield
Of petroleum in California is set down at
10000 barrels for the year 1882. If
this statement is as near accuracy as the
rest Of the publication the sum total will
be sadly out Of the way, and a very poor
indication Of the resources of the coun.
try. II the ''Chief Of the Division" had
stated that tho yield Of petroleum in
California for 1882 was CSC, 900 barrels,
he would have stated about the con-
gealed truth. There seems to be q
chronic disposition en- the part Of stats
ticians to belittle the productions Of the
State Of California, g fact that has been
frequently mentioned in the columns Of
