General Mackenzie, who issnow at the Bloomingdale lunatic asylum is pronounced incurable. He was one of the gallant officers in the army, and was recognized as among the fore most of Indians fighters. The Indians from the British to the Mexican lines knew him as Bad Hand" because of his chivalrous daring, and also be- cause two of the fingers of his sword hand were lost by the stroke of Con- federate sabre in front of Richmond. No more inspiriting leader ever set squadron in the field or led it to glory. He was the youngest general of hls rank, not alone in the United States, but also in that of any army in the world. His loss will be severely felt in the service, and every step he won was justified by hero's scar.

THE REAyIs STEAL.

The following is the descriptive boundary of the land conveyed, by deed, May 1st, 1882, by Mary A. Will ling toiJames A. Reavis. To wit:
 Beginning at a point south of the Gila river, in said Territory of Arizo- na, and running north via the base on the east of the Maricopa mountains, across the said Gila river on the west of the Santa Cruz valley or sink, and thence north across the Salt river, a distance of ten Spanish leagues, com mon measure, or eighty thousand Cas- tillian varas, from the point of begin ling and easterly in unmeasured par allels, from the beginning and ending points of said survey, a distance of thirty Spanish leagues, common meas ure, ortwo hundred and forty thous- and Castillian varas, by width of ten Spanish leagues, common measure, or eighty thousand Castillian varas, and to be of such form as to include the said Gila river, and to contain three hundred square Spanish leagues, com mon measure, or nineteen billion, two hundred million Q9, POO, 900, ,OOO)square Castillian varas, with all the lands, mines, waters, and water courses, and every other thing thereunto appur- taining, and more fully described on pages AGO and 461 in the volume of records for, the year 17SS, of the pub. lie archives of the state of Jalisco, in the city of Guadalajara, Mexico.'
 The date of deed from Miguel Pe- ralta to George M. Willing, Jr., is Oc- tober 20, 1864. First evidence of rec ord is March 12, 1874, in book 1, of Promiscuous Records of Yavapai County, on pages 93 94. That being the case, does not the law concerning grants and deeds for lands in Arizona which requires all such documents to be of record, Gin the proper county where such lands are located, on or before January l, 1S66," hold Reavis' claim at arms length? The law fur ther declares that as an additional pre- requisite to title the lands must be To- cated and their boundaries defined on or before the date herein before men, tioned, otherwise no deed or grant shall be received as evidence of title CT possession in any. of the courts of law in this Territory.

Roger A. Pryor, of New York, and Donald Robb, of Globe, Arizona, ap- pearod before a committee of Congress upon the question of the transfer of 'the unearned Texas Pacific land grant to the Southern Pacific. Pryor as stunned the right of the Southern Paci- fc to the lands in question upon the legal right as assignee and for the faithful performance of the work for which the land was granted. A Washington special of the 18th, to the San Francisco Chronicle, has this to say in reference to Robb:
 Another meeting of the committee was held this evening, at which Robb of Arizona made a strong argument against the transfer of the grant to the Southern Pacific.
 We are we'll aware that Robb is we'll posted in regard to the legal as- pect of this claim and that he has the ability to clearly present the facts and as he was representing settlers upon these lands there is no doubt but that his argument was a strong one.

General Crook, in his annual report, speaks highly of the intelligence of the Chiricahua Indians, who, he says are excessiyely shrewd in making treaties, and very quick to understand when they get good bargain with the gdvernment.-S. F. Exchange.
 {: The Tombstone Epitaph, paper we'll posted on Crooks Sierra Madre campaign, replies as follows: "If there is any Se man on the face of the

 assertion it is General GeorgG 'CfS. No wonder he thinks the Chirlcahuas are intelligent, when they succeeded in capturing and dictating Co the commanding general of this de- partment the terms upon winch they would return to the San Carlos reser- vation. Upon the other hand, though, it would be stupid Indian indeed, who would not agree to return to a reservation and live in ease and idle ness, after the assurance that he should red i've immunity from pun ishment for all the past robberies and murders by him in the section to which he was returning"

ARIZONA AS A CATTLE COUNTRY.

In past years the excitement incl. dent to the discovery of rich mineral deposits in our Territory, has over- shaddowed the cattle interests so that many persons familiar with Arizona, in their eagerness to discover rich vein of silver or copper, have been blind to the immense wealth which lies in the millions of acres of grasses which carpet our Territory from Utah to Sonora and from New Mexico to California. The richness of Arizona s mines is attested by the production of bullion in the past six years, but nev- ertheless in many instances mining, owing to remoteness from railroads and the consequent exorbitant rates of transportation, has not proved prof. table. When our projected railroads are built, Arizona it. is safe to say, will lead all the states and territories in gthe production of the precious medals. ; NY e'8 Fl
 But Arizona possesses, in her graz ing lands, a fund of wealth, the reve- nue from which, in a few years, will exceed that derived from. all other sources combined, The past two years have witnessed a noticeable awakening in stock breeding, partlcu- larly of cattle, as is shown by the steady and rapid advance in the prices of stock cattle. Three years ago stock cattle could be bought for $l5 per head, while at the present time $25 is not considered an exorbitant price. The states and territories east and north of us are rapidly becoming over- stocked; in Texas and Kansas, states which have been famous for stock breeding, the ranges are becoming narrowed and circumscribed by the rapid advance of agriculture, and stock breeders will be compelled to seek new pastures for their herds, or else give up a lucrative business, Many are looking to Arizona for their Mecca, and, indeed, here they will find everything pertaining to bovine par adise: Vast ranges covered with the richest grasses; an abundance of good water; climate unsurpassed, where there is no winter in the year; almost total absence of disease, and market for all surplus, at remunerative prices, on the range. Can anything moro be desired?

.IA mine is discovered in Pima county, Sewssapers of Tue son publish exaggerated ae( ounts of its richness, and predict that it will be the biggest bonanza ever discovered. The following from the Rocky Noun tain Mining Review is particularly applicable to these papers: The "bonanza" impression is.'not always the best one to create in the minds of investing people. Nor is it the one which should be foremost in the minds of those who contribute the mining news of theSay to the columns of the local press. Itis creative of another impression = suspicion - not infre- quently, and once that is aroused is difficult to suppress. A mine may be good property and yet not "bonon- za,' as the term is commonly used. The popular understanding of the world is that a "bonanza" is neces- sarily mine showing large bodies of rich ore, and we. might say that that is the intention prompting its applica- tion. It is commonly accepted in that way and therein lies the folly of plac- ing every new find upon the "bonanza" list. Districts generally which lay no claims to being of the "big bonanza" kind, are, we have noticed, the ones
 which usually appear among the list oflargely productive ones. The ones which are always talking of "bonanzas" are usually the ones whose productive capabilities are of an inverse ratio to the amount of blow made about them. The simple truth about any mine or camp is good enough, and the good sense of only making statements of that kind concerning them, must be obvious to all. False or high colored representations deceive no one nowa- days. The practical ones cannot be taken in by them, and others will not be. It is only the class, hap oily few in number of late, who think they
 know it all, and are too egotistical in
 their superficial knowledge to consult

OueensVlctoria's new book.

QueensVictoria,s new book, while ostensibly record of life in the High lands, is said to bereally a tribute to the dead gillie, John Brown, for whom his royal mistress has not yet ceased to mourn. It must be rather galling to the royal family, as we'll as to the members of the British aristocracy, to see the Queen make this unseemly ex- hibition over a bare-legged Highland CT, whose chief qualities seemed to be servility to the Queen and ofensiAe arrogance to all others. ..

The slip-shod management of the department of justice is about to at. tract the attention of Congress. Springer, of Illinois, is chairman of the committee of investigation and as he.is most thorough in all he under takes, we may confidently expect that, like chiropodist, he will go to the root of things, taking sufficient scope to include the proceedings of the 1st judicial district court of Arizona, and particularly that part in reference to the Wheeler, Tiffany, Wood and Col lins cases. About twenty indictments were found against these gentlemen, nats0ae -afwhich the prosecution per 'nfittcd to reach a trial jury, but dis missed them all The stenographers' notes of the proceedings in the Tiffany cases are now in Washing ton where, most probably, they will receive more than passing notice, as they certain ly should. If there was not probable cause of guilt, these persons shoul1 not have been indicted, but being in- dicted, they should not have been de- nied the right, when pressing the prosecution to be allowed the privi- lege of establishing their innocence by trial and judgment of court. AS mat ters now stands those lately at the bar of justice(?) are free, and both the United States and the five gentlemen referred to are damaged in pocket, and the latter also in reputation.

On one Of the excursion steamers running
out of Detroit the other day the clerk found
passenger who had neither ticket Or money.
He began to berate the man for dead beat,
telling him he ought to be ashamed of him
self, etc., but the strapped passenger held up
his finger and said:
"Have been among the passengers and
thrown out hints that the boilers Of this boat
we're rather old and liable to exploded"
"Not that know Of"
"Have been around predicting a storm,
and thus detracting from the pleasure Of the
trip?'
"Havent heard Of your doing So"
"Have slipped up to this one and that one
to slur your boat for being slow, and have
said that you were carrying at least ninety
people more than your license allows? Twice
thus far this boat has neglected to answer the
signals of vessels coming down. Have I said
l would make complaint under the law?
Have / counted your life preservers and
found the complement short? Have I over
hauled your small boats and found that none
Of them could be launched?"
"Oh, see! An old steamboat man-shake!"
stammered the clerk. "Excuse me for not

Where the Difference Lay.


A great big hulk of giant, having enough
whisky aboard to make him annoying, was
hanging around the foot of Second street the
other day and abusing everybody that
passed. A boy finally said to him:
"If you had any sand you'd tackle that
hacklnan over there"
"Sand, sonny; why, I've got a wagon load
of it. Where's is the victim?"
"Under the porch there, in the chair"
The giant walked over and crushed
"hacky's" hat over his eyes and asked him
how all the folks up Fighting creek were
getting along, but inside of q minute
and half he was the 'lickedest"
man in Detroit. When the hack-man got
through mopping him the boy handed him
newspaper to wipe the blood OFT his nose,
and said:
"You are big enough to eat him up"
"Jess SO, sonny" replied the giant as be
tcnderly nursed his nose, "but it don't foller
that because I'm bigger'n curry comb
kin swaller one. The difference between us
is that he is in hurry to lick some one and
drive off, while I've got a hull weeks time
and don't keer to fight until I've called names
and got mad all over"
