Senator Hill denies tho statem

Senator Hill denies the statements
of Chaffee and the sneaking inuendoes
of Teller that he bought his way into
the United States Senate. He ought
to be believed. He has been an i'm.
portant factor in Colorado's prosper
ity. What has Teller been? A man
who, in the earlier days took fees for
examining titles to properties, which
never existed and pronounced them
valid. A man who enriches himself
at the expense of a state is less worthy
Of the confidence of the public than
one who by his intelligence, industry
and enterprise makes the state rich.
Senator Hills manliness speaks in his
challenge to Secretary Teller:
"Whatever charges have preferred
against Teller have been over my sig-
nature and if he will adopt like
course and be responsible for the state
ments that I furnished, used, or caused
to be used, money in any corrupt or
way connected with my
election to the Senate, l wilt afford
him at the earliest possible day All
to prove the charges"

TIE Hon. J. W, Eddy, President Of
the Am. B. Railroad, hands us cir
ealas Letter from e. H Talbot, Secre.
tary Of the National Exposition which
opens in Chicago on the Oath inst; in
which he is,requestcd TO forward car
load of "oress spetrifactions, cacti, &C."
Mr.. Eddy's late arrival, and the pres
sure upon his time prevents his attend
ing to it, and it is besides impossible
to do it in the time. That such con-
tribution, drawn from the rich ores
lying between here and the A. & P.
road, from the magnificent fora of the
country, and from the sub-carbonifer-
ous fossils which are of such varied
form and in such abundance in the
region of the Verde, would be very
interesting and attractive, is of course
true; bat it would be serious tax
both of time and money to get it
together. We fear that tho Arizona
exhibit in the Chicago Exposition will
be meagre.

Teller and Wilcox, who were trying
to- have one of the latter's clerks ap-
pointed Posi- Master at San Carlos,
We're snubbed by the First Assistant
Post Master General on the 9th inst
by his discontinuing the Post Office al
San Carlos, and ordering the property
turned over to the Post Master at
Camp Thomas. 1t remains to be seen
whether or not Reuben Wood, contrac-
tor fer carrying mail between Camp
Thomas and Globe will carry it in un
locked sacks, for the accommodation
of Agent Wilcox, after being subject
ed oevery inoignity that his (Wilcox's)
malignant disposition could conceive.
1t. Britton Davis, Ord U. S. Cavalry,
issued the order driving the Post
Master, in charge, from the reserva-
ton; a usurpation of power not war
ranted by law and which fine not
exceeding FIVE thousand dollars, or
Imprisonment in the County Jail for a
term not exceeding one year is i'm
posed. It will not avail him to plead
that he acted by. order of Agent
Wilcox. for the reason that no one can
assume the right to execute an illegal

The little glamour of christian
love(?) which the Eastern people have
thrown over the Chinese has been re.
moved, and all the fostering rotten
ness of the people has been exposed.
Just SO will it some day, we hope,
with the Indians. Plant colonies Of
murder-loving Apaches in Massachu-
setts or Maine, or any other eastern
state, and let them crafty their taste
for outraging women, Draining child
ren, or leaving the bodies of indus
trious white men roasting across their
stoves, and there would be such a
change of sentiment as has grown out
Of more, intimate knowledge of the
Chinese.

A gentleman who recently saw Sec
retary Teller, was informed by him
that he had intended a survey of the
Deer Creek coal fields, but would not
do it for the present. He refused this
gentleman the privilege of making the
survey himself. IfMr. Teller thinks
he can get his steal of these lands con-
summated by waiting till the present
disturbed condition of things in Ari.
zona is over, he is mistaken. The
BELT has entered this fight for the
credit Of the Territory, the purifica-
tion of the San Carlos lazar house, the
just treatment of the Indians and
the recognition of the claims of the
mon who found the Deer Creek coal
fields and hold them; and it will never
rest till wins. 1T. does 4. not fight
alone. 1t has on its side what always
wins-courage and just principles.

Mr.. Wileor of San Carlos has all

Mr.. Wilcox of San Carlos has all the
bad elements of ~ Claverhouse in him;
without the good ones. He never
stops his prosecutions. Not satisfied
with causing the dismissal of Col.
Wood and G. Connell from San Carlos,
without any show of right or reason,
and robbing them under the disguise
of a purchase of their belongings, he
follows them with malignity that is
supremely devilish. Wood runs the
mail from Thomas to Globe, under a
contract which is ratified by the Post
Office Department, and this Wilcox
does everything to annoy him and
cause him loss. He is charging him
for hay $40 more than he ever paid for
it before; has threatened to turn his
men out of their quarters, and his
horses out of the corrali forced the
Post Master to leave the Reservation
and through the Secretary of the In.
terror, has tried to prevent the paying
of the stipend due to Mr.. Wood. A.
N. Zeverly & Son, who are the agents
for Mr.. Elmer, the original contractor,
telegraphsd Wood, May -, as follows;
"Owing to your trouble with Will
cox, we cannot pay now.
A. n. BEVERLEY & Son"
Mr.. Wood replied that he had nc
contract with Mr.. Wilcox and no con.
nection with him; and he also tele.
graphed the Department, when Mr.
Zeverly sent the following, dated
May IA:
April report of service reached
Dept. to-day. Will try and send draft
this week. A. N. ZEvERLY & Son.
This is not.the first time that the

Clark Churchill. our Attorney

Clark Churchill, our Attorney Gen
eral, was right in denying to Mr..
Whitney, of Pinal, the reward for
finding an artesian well. Mr.. WIS
enterprise deserves reward, but he has
not succeeded in accordance with the
intent Of the law. Mr.. Churchill's s
reasons for refusing the $4,000 are as
follows:
"First.-It fails to prove the exis-
tence of a subterranean stream of wa
ter of any size. In bore seven inches
in diameter only half inch of water
runs out Of its top. This tends to
prove that there is no stream of water
at the bottom of that we'll which could
be brought to the surface by means of
an artesian well, and produce a flow
ing stream on the earth'G surface.
And it fails in any respect to fulfill
the ultimate purpose and intent of the
Legislature in passing the act, by
demonstrating the public problem
whether artesian water may be made
profitable in Arizona.
Second.--It fails to furnish any
water for public use.

The peculiar method of Secretary
Teller, seems to permeate all the De-
partments. We wanted information
as to whether Mr.. Showalter, of SAP
Carlos, had filled the law in regard to
a license to sell tobacco, and whether
one man could run several stores on
one license Here is the answer, sent
us by the Collector at Tucson:
DEFY CoLLEcToR's OFFICE,
DISTRICT OF ARIZONA,
Tucson, May, 18th, 1888. J
DONALD ROBE, Dear Sir: In reply
to yours of May 1st, would say a man
requires license for each store he
runs, and John A. Showalter has one
license and an application in for an
other. Very respectfully,
.-. e., S. W. FISHER, Collector.
By CHAs. H. FISHER, Clerk.
Mr.. Chas. Connell, actuated by the
same desire, wrote to Mr.. Fisher, and
this is his answer:
CoLLEcroR's OFFICE, DIsr. OF A. T.
Tucson, May 14th, 1883.
CHAs. CoNNELL, ESQ, Globe, A. t. =
Sir: Two places can be run under one
license. John A. Showalter has com.
piled with the law. !.
Yours &c.,
II - S:,W. FIsHEg, Collector.
In the first sentence of each answer
there is distinct and flat contradic-
ton. The"'law says, in Sec. 1886
"The payment Of a special tax shall
not exempt from an additional tax, the
person carrying on business in any
other place than that stated in the
Collectors Register"
In Sec. 1882 it says: mo person
shall carry on any trade or business
hereinafter mentioned, until he has
paid special tax therefor" We de-
sire to call the attention Of Mr.. Fisher
to the fact that Mr.. Showalter had
been guilty of a violation of the law,
using the obvious construction pre-
sented by the foregoing sections. He
traded in Hise's store, using Hise's
license, and in the other places for a
time without any that could be seen,
On the 14th of May, month after
Woods had been bought, and nearly
two months after Connell's, he has
progressed no further towards filling
the plain requirements of the law than
making an application which the Col.
lector had not granted. The revenue
officials at Tucson must do their duty,
No consideration of being from the
same state, friendship for Wilcox and
his outfit, or fear of Teller, should
weigh; if Showalter has transgressed
he must be punished, if the Collecto,
has been privy to the wrong he must
suffer with him. ....-

The a. n. h. Railroad.


The A. NJ. b. railroad will run for
eighty miles through what Col. King
very properly calls, lone of the best
timber reserves in the United States" ="
Besides that, it skirts the western base
Of the Sierra Anchas, tho summit of
which is a mesa extending to the
White Mountains and covered with
pine. 1t will run through low pass
on the eastern end of the Pinal noun.
tains, which have also fine supply of
timber. Nearly all of the wood in the
Territory Of Arizona is embraced in
these three reserves, and only the pro.
posed road can reach them. The grow.
ing Importance of the mining inter-
ests of Southern Arizona offer an
enlarging market for this timber,
and its transportation would afford
considerable business for a railroad.
There can be no doubt but manufac-
tories of wooden ware would spring
up, because our exceptionally dry at
mosphere prevents the possibility of
shrinkage in the wood after it is made
up.l In the more humid atmosphere
of the East, wooden ware made here
would present absolutely tight joints.
!. The coal measures reached by the
A. N. B. road, lying so close as they
do to the iron deposits of the Sierra
Anchas, offer an opening for the prof.
table use Of capital. The grazing pos
sibilities are simply wonderful. Be-
tween Globe and the Mogollon's in one
direction, and the White Mountains
and the Mazatzal's in the other, there
are at least $4,000 square miles of
measurement, not counting the in
equalities of surface; that makes
7,6S0,0O0 acres. Four acres are con-
sidsred fair average per head for
cattle, but double it. and it makes
grazing ground enough to carry enor-
NOUS herds, the annual increase of
which would be sent to the markets
of this coast and the near East over
the A. M. B. road. Take the consid-
erations of timber, coal, iron and cat
tie, and leave out of the calculation
the immense mining, and the limited
but valuable agricultural interests,
and the A. NJ. B. road offers every
prospect of being profitable invest

We are given to understand that
Sec. Teller has given Agent Wilcox in
structions to drive the locators of the
Deer Creek coal fields away and work
them with Indians-Wilcox says so
himself. 1t would be a high-harded
outrage. 1t would so arouse the in
dignation of the people between Globe
and the San Pedro that scores of them
would hasten to the support of the
wronged men, and settle the question
of ownership with the telling arbitra-
ment of rife shots.

A literary lady who recently visited
Prescott, writes: "There was that
thrill in the air which stirs the blood
with the instinct of travel, and gives
one longing to tarnish the blue of

If the mountains were very distant, it
would take pretty long neither limb
to reach there, and unless her foot was
product Of Chicago or St. Louis, it
would not do much furnishing.

We have repeatedly stated, notwith-
standing the persistent denials OF
Agent Wilcox to the contrary, that
Agency Indians were off the Reserva-
ton, and gave incontrovcrtible preea
in support of our statements. And
how we have further well authenti-
Gated information, that Of the eleven
Indians killed by Colonel Garcia in
the Sierra Madres, Mexico, ON the 26th
of April; four, more than a third Of
the number, wore San Carlos Agency
tags. The augmented number OF
raiding Apaches in the states of Chi.
huahua aud Sonora over previous
years is a further proof in support Of
the charge that Agency Indians are
not within the control Of Agent Viii.
cox. 1t is well known fact that
numerous bands of White Mountain
Apaches have left the Agency and
gone to the White Mountain and
.Cibiou country. A San Carlos dispatch
which appears in the Globe-Democrat
of the 10th inst. places the number at
about 300; another published state.
ment thribbles that. We know that
great disquietude exists in that tribe,
that they are closely allied to the
murderous Chiricahuas and have al
ways been regarded with suspicion
since their attack upon Gen. .Carr's
command at tCibicu in September, 1881.
We also know that the murderers Of
Turner and Moody, and others at
Seven Mile hill, on the Apache road,
hid in the hills and gulches of the
mountains until granted immunity
from arrest by Crook, were members
Of tho White Mountain tribe.
