An Outrage.

Wednesday last Charlie Rapp received 8 postal card on which was written the following;
 Dear Sir:-The military will 0e at the coal fields Ou Saturday, August 4th, Co dispOssess Us and destroy everything we have there. Blair and Eapp EeAt.
 ROBr. ANDERSON and 0thers-
 Robt. Anderson and the "others he refers to have acquired title Co these coal claims by discovery and occupation prescribed by law. They h.ve acted iu good faith and during each year since discovering the claims have performed on them more than the amount of work reguired by law. They risked their lives to find and open them mp, expeud- ed over four years Of valuable time and every dollar they could get hold Of in prospecting the veins. During all this time there was no line or landmark tO show that they were on reservation land and no intImation from the government that they were trespHssi1E upon the San Carlos reservation on-EuterpIi-e.

TIE autobiography of Thurlow Weed IS ont It will no doubt prove interest ing reading, as MT. Weed took an active part in public affairs for nearly fifty years and came in contact with nearly all tbe great men of the country, since ls2L It is to be regretted that MT. Weed too often fell into the habit of writing hls "reminiscences in such a way as to always represent himself as among the most prominent characters of the plece' when he was "only a locker On." Had NIT. Weed studied accuracy more, and Weed less, his book would have been much more valuable and none the less inter- esting to the people.

IT seems that the west is not the only country where road agents stand 'em up." MT. John Morgan who, with his wife and child, were riding in a carriage from Gloucester to Rockport, in the State Of Massachusetts, was stopped by a man last week, who emerged from the bushes with revolver in his hand, and ordered the said Morgan to throw his money into the road. But Mir. Morgan evidently was not acquainted with the peculiari,ies of the agent, as he stood up ID his carriage instead, and put his hand on his hIp as if to draw a bulldog, when the fellow with an oath exclaimed, "that's your name, Is it, and shot al Morgan. making a slight flesh wound. The wounded man then sprung from the carriage, when the w0uld-be robber took to hls heels. That Is exactly the reverse of the way they do the thing out here In Arizona, where both parties have had some experience in the business. When an Arizona road agent pulls his ''s;ick the man who is being operated upon Is very careful abou. holding his hands as high as he can reach, as though he was going to wade into deep water, in which position he keeps them as long as the professor is in sight This he finds much safer than to tumble about his ship pocket" Then, again, our agents do not waste ammunition making flesh wounds, and never, or hardly ever run Tn the direction that the Massachu-
 i.'- --,an Qid. But then Massachu- setts Is such a sIuHH U,,,su... that If & fellow gets into a little trouble down there he has no earthly chance of escap- ing, as every man, woman and cElld will know of it before night. They have no free breathing room down there, with hundreds of miles of uninhabited desert and mountain country as We have here in Arizona, to make it possible for q pro- fessional man to gain living, without beng compelled to dabble in other branches of business.

The new gold fields of Santa Ger trudes, near the port of Mulege, on the gulf coast of Lower California, continues to attract the attention of Mexican capi- talists. and 1t is claimed by the enthusi- sstic that the peninsula will rival our own state as a land of gold. The pre- cious metal is found at present iu pla- ceres, ss 1t WAS m this state, but 1t exists undoubtedly in veins also, and presently We shall have a rush of miners to country regarded heretofore as value less.-LOs Angeles Herald.

IT seems to.us that tine Phenix papers
 are giving the so-called land grant of
 Reavis much moro consideration than 1t
 is entitled to. We are aware that people are apt to become interested in such
 things when the title to their homes and
 property is effected by them. But the so-called land grant has not yet even
 been located, much less title estab-
 ished to the grant. When the bottom
 facts are reached in this so-called grant, We imagine there will be but little to it.
 During the past week Governor Powers and Mir. Rumburg spent little time ex- aInining the title papers of the so-called grant; it was found that ''the initial point, instead of being anywhere near the confluence of Salt river with tue Gila, it is at the mouth of the Santa Cruz, near Maricopa wells" But even this is uncertain, and We have DO idea that any monuments or land marks of any kind will be found. There IS time enough to talk about this grant matter after it has assumed some definite form. Reavis has produced no title papers yet, so far as known, that should frighten the people. Even if we should concede that he has a fighting right Che has not reached that point yet, he has much to do before he can even begIn to prove his claim. But he must first show that the so- called grant is genuine; he must show that the terms for which the grant was made have been complied with; be must then show that he is the actual and legal owner of the title papers; he must then secure a preliminary survey at hIs own expense. He will then be in shape to begin the fight, which will be agaInst the United States as well as incidentally the settlers upon the land. All this will take time as well us money. It is an an- noyance to have even so-called grants hanging over the property of a commu- nty, but we do not look upon the Reavis grant as having assumed that form.

ORDERED OFF THE DEER

The sactiou referred to Is what is known as fine Deer creek coal fields. For a long -.ne t has been a question as to whether ,b- coal fields were on or off the San ,s-los reservation. 4 survey was or .isrei Of the southern boundary line Or the reservation last April, which was de- f5ysf on account of the Indian troubles hu; 1t has been completed during the r-eseut month. when 1t was ascertained that the coal fields were on the reserva- rga. according to survey made by Paul Rsicker.

IT will seem strange to the miners and prospectors who have claims on the reservation to be ordered of when the Indians are allowed to roam at pleasure outside the reservation among the settle ments. It looks ss though the Indian had tue best ot the bargain.

YAvIPAI cOrNTY.

Belle mlne.-ihs m1ne IS opened up bv over 600 feet of shafts, drifts and wiuzes. The main shaft is down 10 depth of 300 feet. At l05 feet there is north level extending 300 feet to the sur- face of the mountain side and south level 2O5 feet in length. Tbe ore varies from a medium high grade of free mil ling gold ore to silver bearing galeua The average assay of this ore ls from SI10 to Sl2O in gold. But comparatively little stoping has been done yet and that mostly on the l0j foot level, although two stopes have been started In the tun- nel level. Work is being done extend ing the tunnel level and sinking the winze, and the uprise tO the south shaft.
 On Copper Greek the Lawler Bros. have eleven very promising claims, all adjoining.s The lodges almost invaria- bly run east and west, and have an aver age width between well defined walls of four feet. The crOppings on these claims can be traced hundreds of feet
 On the Mountain Dsposit, one of this group, solid chunks of metal weighing two hundred pounds, carrying 72 per cent of metal, have been taken out while doing assessment work. A tunnel run ming on this ledge will tap tbis immense body of ore at 300 feet
 The hoisting mschenery IS already on the ground. Al present 40 men are em' ployed on the mine.

i That false man OF whom she was IN

Well, Hart comes and auntie thanks

I'VE have eighty Republicans pledged to
go into senatorial caucus and abide by
its results" said prominent Window
worker to GLOBE reporter yesterday"
Five minutes later an equally prominent
and influential anybody -to-beat- Window
man said: ''Windom is Beaten. At
the very outside not more
than sixty-eight Republicans will
go into the senatorial caucus, and of those
who stay out not one can be brought
to his support by any means. The Win
dom men have been congratulating them
selves all day over the fact that nearly al |
the Republican members in the city at
tended the caucus Monday evening for the
selection of officers for the two houses.
reasoning that having con-
sented to the caucus rule
in these selections, they will also do SO as
to senator. But they were never more
mistaken in their lives. We are Republi-
cans, and we had Republican friends we
wished to help to positions. Of the results
we have 40 reason to complains We even
had better success than we expected. But
the selection of senator at
lnlS elme IS a different
matter. The great majority of the Re
publican party of the state are tired of
Window, and we have been elected to do
our utmost to retire him to private life.
The only way we can do that is to keep.
away from the caucus, and we are going to
do 1t, and don't you forget my prediction
that Window will be beaten.''
To the above it can be added that hav-
ing got rid of the legislative offices, more
attention was bestowed upon the senatorial
question yesterday afternoon and evening
than on any preceding day, the rotunda of
the Merchants hotel being packed from
P. N. until late at night. Among the prom
inent figures taking part in this
preliminary work outside the members,
was "Bluf'' Aleck Ramsey, the amoss-
covered McLaren, Collector Bickel, Con-
gresham Strait, Gen. Hawley, Clerk
Nichols, Gen. Flower, Capt. Castle, w. j.
Ives, Sam. Anderson, Ben. Langley, and
others of less prominence. AS the first
ballot will not be taken until two weeks
from yesterday, there remains good
deal of time in which to operate and bleed
the WindOm 'barr'l," and then beat him.
The caucus is the turning point. Beat the
caucus and Window is beaten.

Special Telegram to the Globe.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 2.-Quite a sensation
was occasioned here to-day when it was
announced that 302 persons in the city jail
had been released owing to the breaking
out of smallpox among the inmates of the
Institution. Upon a visit being made to
the clerks Office, it was ascertained that
the first case was discovered on Saturday.
and several other cases developing yester-
day and to-day. The authorities deemed
the above step necessary, owing to the
crowded condition of the building. The
disease is increasing rapidly and it is esti-
mated that there are to-day fully 100
cases in the city. Health Commissioner
Benson's report shows there were seventy
four deaths from smallpox last week.
The penitentiary and other public institu-
tions refuse admittance to out
siders; and in the poor house
there is said to be number of cases. May
or White had a conversation to-day with
DR.. Benson and his assistant, DR.. McShane,
relative to taking other active and strin-
gent measures in checking the disease.
Twenty additional vaccine physicians have
been'appointed, and will enter upon their
duties tomorrow, visiting every house, and
vaccinating all the inmates.
To accommodate the increased num-
Der of patients removed to quarantine
hospital, the city officers have ordered that
two additional buildings be erected. The
disease is not confined to any locality, but
Is everywhere. Yesterday in three tene-
ment houses twenty two cases were discoy.
cred. There were 200 persons living in the
three buildings. A case was sent to the
quarantine hospital to-day from st. Jo-
seph's hospital, and four students of the
college of physicians and surgeons have
the disease and are now at quarantine. The
jail birds are running the streets tonight.
