c Burglars Clever Lo,e-sfakins

It has often been said that nothing save business success and money con- stitutes a claim 10 social recognition on this coast; but. os even with such illus trations of .he fact as the Sharon trias before them, our Eastern friends caR hardly understand how absolute said rule Is here, we can hardly expect the following perfectly true incident to be believed out of our own state.
 One night not long ago the daughteS of One of our best citizens WAS aN'ak- ened by a noise in her room. and, up- on sitting up, discovered a man dis guised in black mask standing beside her bed and calmly contemplating her features by the aid of bulls eye lan- tern.

 What do you want?' demanded the young lady.
 Well, l did want to sample your jewclry case" said the rcbber. ''but you looked so all-fired pretty lying there with your auburn hair-just my style-that l couldn't help Eqking you to see if you also had dark eyes. I'm terribly fond of light hair and dark eyes. myself.

 "N-n-n-O. murmured the girl.

IN his repOr, to the Secretary of tn,

IS his report to the Secretary of the Interior, Governor Tritle urged at length upon his attention a matter that will doubtless be made the subject of congressional legislation. He recom- mends that grant of land be made to one or two north and south railroads ID Arizona, upon the condition that 1t be sold to actual settlers at government prices only. By this means the great objection to railroad subsidy is avoided, and the settler can obtain the lands us easily as be could directly from the gov ernment. The roads thus sought to be aided are necessary means of interstate communication, and they will turn this struggling Territory in a few years into prosperous state. One road, over the route of the projected Min eral Belt road, from the Atlantic and Pacific to Globe, thence by the Narrow Gauge survey to Tucson and Calabasas, would open uP wealth of coal, minerals and timber al- most inexhaustible. The completion Of such a road, too, would stimulate the construction of a connection with the Denver and Rio Granie system from their present terminus at Durango, Col orado. The other road, from Ash Fork, on the Atlantic and Pacific, through Prescott, Phenix and Florence to Inc son, would tap the agricultural heart or the Territory, and that prolific section would find a permanent and natural market for all its great volume of prod ucis. The wheat, barley, potstoes fruits and vegetables now brought Tn such quantities from California at a great expense, will all come from the great valleys of central Arizona, where these products now rot in the fields for the lack of a market To the north and in the south their natural market exists, and it really seems that the great Crea- tor so constructed Arizona that one DOT tiou should become dependent in a great measure upon the other, and that with proper facilities for transporting the multlfarious products, this land of sunshine should become one complete homogeneous commonwealth. Our great timber belt in the north will supply the treeless country to the south with lumber for a thousand years; the great coal measures of northeast Ari- zona, as veil as those at San Carlos, solve the qnestion of cheap fuel and coke; the fertile valleys of the San Pe- dro, Salt River, and the Gila can feed millions of people; the rugged noun tains of the south, the north, the east and the west, VIII produce from .heIr depths the precious metals for the pur- chase of all these things, and our great grazing mesas add also to the common wealth in their thousands of herds. Here We have within our boundaries every essential element of sustenance and prosperity, needing only cheap rail transportation to lInk our people to- gether by common interests as well as by the silken cords of affection for our favored land.

 IF the maps be at all accurate, the singular fact presents itself that the waters flowing down four of the great rivers Of the United States have almost a common origin in the Rocky Noun tains. Their sources are but a few miles distant from each other, while they empty into the great oceans at widely different points. In the Middle and North Parks of the Rocky Moun- tains in Colorado, may be seen the small streams which give rise to the north fork of the Platte river, stream that empties into tine Missouri near Omaha, and also the little rivulets forming the Grand river, a branch of the Colorado which feeds the Gulf of California. Little further to the north. west in southwest Wyoming are the headwaters of streams that flow into the Yellowstone to the north and east, the Columbia to the northwest and the Colorado to the southwest. The latter river also derives its greatest supply of water from eastern Utah and western Colorado. A little stream called Roar Ing Fork rises near Leadville and its waters pass into Grand river and thence into the Colorado. In southern Colo rado the waters of the Rio Grande and those of the c lorado are separated by a space of only a few miles. It may be truly said that the waters of the Rocky flow through half the conti- nept

USE of the grestest and as yet but little talked of resources of Arizona is it's wonderful climate, ranging from tropical heat to arctic flgidity. The dweller within its limits may obtaln that quality of climate that is peculiarly suited to his desires, and often can he find these remarkable conditions exist ing within few miles of each other. As a sanitarium there is no place in the wide world that possesses the virtues of southern Arizona. particularly in pull monary complaints. The atmosphere is light and dry and pure. In the valleys it is always of a grateful temperature from October to May, and as the summer heat comes on change of location to the foothills or mountains gives one per petual season of springtime. Much has been said of the extreme heat of the Arizona summer season, and many look upon it as an almost uncomfortable ordeal to be suffered and borne with the patience and stoicism of martyr. It IS true that the thermometer registers a temperature that would be fatal in a humid atmosphere, but the dry ar absOrbs instantly the moisture throw n off by human precipitation and this easy evaporation is in itself cooling process. So really, 1l5 degrees ot temperature in Tucson Is not half so oppressive us 90 degrees ID St. Louis Chicago or New York Sun strokes, so frequent and fatal in the eastern states are unknown here
 notwithstanding our high temperature
 The expressions of summer weather are even more severe in the great centers oi population in the east than here, while We possess in the adjacent mountains all the climatic advantages of their sum
 mer resorts and can lnexpensively enjoy the pure, balmy mountain mir and re-

AN English mining engineer by the name Of Baker Is said to have made a discovery of immense importance. It consists Of nothing less than to take gold and silver out of ore on the gal vanic plan. The finely crushed ore is taken by water down over a somewhat inclined plane of wood. On this in clned plane are few stations, each one consisting of a copper plate which rests on layer of quicksilver. Tre copper plate is connected with the negative and the quicksilver with the positive pole of a battery. Now the ore is taken down over it by the water. Im- medistely ths gold anI silver leaves the ore to be taken mp by the quicksilver, while such metals as sulphur, antimOny, etc, are retained on the copper plate and the earthy matters are taken down by the water. Tue quicksilver Is drawn ofirom time to tune by an arrangement on the side m order 10 take the precious metal out of it. This is Bakers process. which costs Der ton only Sl JO. while by the common treatment it sometimes costs as much as so per ton. There is said to be loss of only per cent in the electrical process.

IN discussing the cost of producing copper in the United States, as compared with the prevailing low prices, The Engineering speaks of the Auzona pro- duction in the following very fiattering terms:
 In examining the reports of different Arizona mines, such as the Copper Queen, the Old Dominion, and the Ari- zona Copper Company formerly Long fellow we feel justified Tn saying that the pound Of copper laid down here does not cost them more than from Sl |, cents to 9is cents probably less al- though they have to pay rIdiculously high prices for coke and heavy freight on their shipments of copper. For in- stance, the Old Dominion company pays about S60 a ton for coke, and uses one ton of coke to the ton of black copper. equal to three cents on each pound of fine copper. If railroad branch should be built 10 Globe, coke conld be de- livered at perhaps from S2O tO S2j, causing saving of from lsi to , cents per pound of copper, and the cost of copper would further be reduced by similar freight reductions on the cop per material. Evidently, the Arizona mines are Tn shape to compete effectively with the Lake Superior and foreign mines, and even to beat them. Their ores require only one process to make black copper of about 97l, per cent. copper contents. How long this cheap production will go on depends entirely on the ore reserves and the quantity of deposits of carbonates in this region. Searching for such pockets is, of course, a weary, expensive job.

THE Star seems disposed to ignore the call made by Major Barter for a mass meeting of citizens tonight to nominate candidates for city officers, and evidences a desire to antagonize the several elements without a prospect of accomplishing any good. The CITIZEN is actuated only by a desire to secure the best possible selection of officers, and 1t will work solely to that end. Ii matters not who calls the mass meet ing. If any parties hold personal or professional animosity towards the party whose name is signed to the call. let them come to the meeting and bv public sentiment make 1t a popular movement m the interests of peace and harmony. Let all the people congregate tonight at the City Hall, and after a free expression of views and a proper deliberation, concentrate upon proper persons for city officers, anI then all work to secure their election. A call signed by the respective chairmen of the county central committees can accomplish no more. They have no exclusive jarisdlc- tion over municipal affairs, and any citi- zen is as fully justified in calling pub
 ic meeting. Let us have no political trlckery, no iealousies, no bickerings and secret dealings in this matter, but a free, open and popular expression, and the result will be of great good to our city.

IT has grown to be beautiful custom of our nation to set aside one secular day in the year upon which all labor pursuits shall be laid aside, giving the people an opportunity to offer up thank for the m1ny blessings the year has brought, and to feast and be happy. There are very few people indeed, who have no cause for thaDkfulness. We can each look about and find some one in a less happy or prosperous condition than ourselves, and We have at least that much cause for gratituje-not because of his misfortunes, but that his woes have not descended also uron cur own shoulders. Upon such an occasion 1t Is well that cut from the fullness of our joys We impart s portion 10 those less favored, and to add to theIr causes for thanksgiving.
