Leap Year Figures.
[Boston Globe.l


 This is leap year," remarked the statistical editor as he put the finishing figures tp weird md thrilling state ment of the comparative producIon of shIngle nails in 'S2 and 'S3.
 'SO 1t Is" said the literary editor, as with fresh dip of the mucilage brush he dashed off a sparkling paragraph which he had found iu an out-of-the way exchange.
 And about this time look ont for Q boom in matrimonial bonds" put in the financial man.
 'Yes," said the sentimental editor, having absorbed a quarter-section of the lunch tiend's pre-Adamite mInce pie, this IS My Lord Cupid's year of grace, when 1t k not violating the char ter that a maiden shall hint Co a liDger- ing lover that she will and he will when the lady fair may become the sup plant and offer her heart and hand to the one that she loves dearly '"--
 And the men may take to the woods" broke m the statistical editor. This leap year business IS all humbug and ought to be buried with thirteen at table, William Tell and George Washingtou's hatchet. I tell you, my boy, State street has more to do with the marriage crop than any year you can divide with four, and these little stock tickers knock yOur Cupid's bows and arrows into the middle of the next centennial All this hipmaguilder (the statistical editor has traveled) about love m8k- ing the world go round looks very pretty on the bIjOu stage and reads very well in the weeklies, out when times are dull and money tight, take notice that he doesn't do much to make anything gO round except duns for flowers and ear riages. You'll find the marriage record is pretty good index of the condition of the times, go .bacx as far as you like. We'll begin with '6S. That year there were 3.7OO marriages in Boston. The number was annually larger, and the next leap year shows 4.I19. In 1873 you know We reached the height of flush times, and f, i69 atrocities were commit ted in the name of Hymen (the s stisti- clan IS also bachelOr.) This year you know brought Black Friday and the panic, and that fall and winter things began tO tumble. In 1875 there were 5000. a drop of a thousand in two years. In lS76-leap year, mInd you-oply 2.OO0, and the city growing all this while. and the women getting thicker every day. Your leap year theory didn't seem to work in those times. Then the election and the eight to seven business upset things agaIn, and iu 1878 there were but 2,SO0 marriages. Since then ve been picking up, averaging a gain of about poo year. Eighty-two saw 4,5}i we'd dings, and I reckon this year will beat that, but just as sure as these croakers' prediction of hard time come true, you'll see the marriage business take drop this year that no lesping can overcome. There's nothing like good sharp figures to burst these sentimental bubbles every time"

An Arizona River.

Judging from the experience of MT. Alexander Mckay, one of the Quijotos bonanza men, the Rillito which consists merely of a sand bed for len months of the year has been considerable swol. len" by the recent rains. He in com pany with Mrs. Dodge and boy named Lee attempted to cross the raging tor rent yesterday afternoon md were swamped. Proceeding into the stream with freight wagon containing three people and hundreds of pounds of groceries and baggage they soon found the wagon bed leaking badly, and there was disagreeable indication that the entire outfit would be submerged when the middle of the stream was reached. Under the circumstances an expeditions effort was made to cut the traces of the harness. This done and the horses hay ing waded to dry land, the wagon was hauled upon the bank by the two horses and rope attached to the rear of the vehicle. No damage resulted except the wetting of some groceries. All the parties concerned are now Tn the city waiting for the waters to sabside

Shortly after ten o'clock last night Chief of Police Johnson, accompanied by officers Newcome and Esparza and iailor HRlihan, made & raid upon a Chinese resort on Ott street, opposite the Cosmopolitan hotel. Arriving at the place, the chief forced open the front door, and astonished thirteen MOngolians who were therein indulging in the imaginative pleasures only se- cured through the use of the opium pipe. So soon as the almond eyed sons of tLe Orient saw the blue coats they became panic stricken, and many hur- ned pellmell into an adjoining rear room. None, however. escaped. and the entire crowd were finally lodged in the city jail. An Wah. the keeper of the place WAS on trial to-day before Judge Meyer, Judge Campbell being his coun- sel. The evidence having been taken thls morning, argument pro and con IS being heard this afternoon. Besides the Chinsmen, the utensils used in opium smoking were confiscated, and also some parRphernalia connected with heather gambling.

Legality of a Marriage Contract.

The trlal of Seth Whitten, a leading lawyer of Munice, Indiana, for living D unlawful wedlock, terminated last Thursday in disagreement. h. stead of being married Tn the usual way, Mir. WhItten carefully drew up a mar riage contract. which he and Miss Maud McArther signed, and from that day they have lived together as man and wife. There were no witnesses to the signing of the contract. The people of Munice felt scandalized by the matter, and Whitten was arrested. When brought to trial he acted as his own at tnrney. and cited mRny rulings, which be claimed established the legality of hIs marriage. In charging the jury the court said that If they found by the evi- dence that both or either of the parties entered into the contract in good faith, with a view of becoming man and wife. believing ,,that by the agreement in question they would become such, a verdict should be found for the defend ant. The jury were out all night, and seem to have found 1t impossible to rec oncile the opinion of the court on one side and of the e immunity on the other.

They are prominent mining men cf the coast The latter in conversa- tion with a CITIZEN reporter today eK- pressed himself highly pleased with the mineral prospect at Quiiotoa. He said that no mortal could determine the actual value of the bonanza mines until development was much further advanced than it is al present. However, ''the top of the hill, as he expressed 1t, was Hs fine a body ot ore as he had ever seen. Men are engaged in tunneling into 1t, and very soon satisfactory guess ss to the merits could be made He could offer no opinion as to the water Prospect at the mines. The company had made some locations down in the valley adjacent, and so soon as they had thoroughly prnspected the claims they would go there and sink for water. If none IS then found they will go to the pearest water supply sufficient to run a large mill, and there locate The owners will choose the most convenient place, freest from cost. irrespective Of local opinlops.

GOId Mines.

Courier: Mines are now being worked by G. W. Curtis and others, near Lynx creek. eight miles east of Prescott, are the Kimball and Gold Block The for mer is pierced by shaft to depth of 150 feet. The vein is feet wide; the walls are perfect. We have seen great deal of rock from this mine. 1t is gold bearing. MT. Gurus will be pleased to exhibit about 300 tons of 1t. Indeed we have his word to the effect that there are, on the dump, four hundred tons of 1t. The rock IS certainly very rich, free gold is everywhere to be seen, and We jndge the ledge to be worth a fortune.
 The Gold Block is about feet wide. It too has the reputation of being very rich.
 4 good wagon road runs by these mines and the trip from Prescott IS cas- fly and comfortably made by wagon. NIT. Curtis and partners are negotiating for a mill to work thelr ores. They are in the meantime sinking, drifting and en- lRrging the dump piles. Were these mines ID some desert spot, near the $. r. railroad, they would cause a regular QuIiotoa excitement. Here, but little Is said concerning them, although they are within rifle shot of Prescott.
