The Coal Fields.
LFIorence EnL.rnri-e. ]


 Mir. D r. Mccarthy. of the coal fields, Was lh town thls week. We learned from him that Mir. James Lilly and the Anderson brothers have returned to 'hetr cOs.i claims and resumed WOrE. They were moved to do so by a letter from Donald RObb stating that Mr. Tel Ter would soon issue all order to the In dian agent to permit all miners elected from the coal fields to return to their claims aLd work them. The first work the boys did after their arrival at the claims was to clean out their old tuDnel, which had caved in from both sides. The removal of the loose dirt and rocks left an opening in the hill over twenty fee. m width and uncovered tons of the best quality of coal. the deposit extend ing back to and beyond the breast of the tunnel. This "cave" m the tunnel shows up more coal than could nave been uncovered by a years work and was a lucky accident Mir. Mccarthy says 'he commissioners sent ont tO in Spect the coal fields and report upon the adyisability of segregat- ing them from the reservation were expected to arrive there this week. If this commission k composed of just anu Idlf ll4ulCu llltl NHt-A can nalollF uo otherwise than recommend the segrega- ton of this valuable property from the reservation. \ careful inspection of the district will convince them that it IS of no value to the Indians but of inestIma- ble value to the people of this Terri tory, who need the coal for mining pur- poses. Beside the coal deposits the dis trict contains numerous and rich veins of gold and silver and astOuishingly large and rich deposits of copper. Messrs Lilly and Mccarthy have a cop per claim in Hawk Canon that shows the largest contact vein in the Territory. It lies between lime and sandstone and is loo feet ia width, carrying a pay streak % feet wide of OxILe and glance ores. The vein crops out on the surface distance of 5000 feet. If this rich distric. was thrown open to the people 1t would soon add millions Co the wealth of Ariz na, not only by its copper, gold and silver product. but by enabling miners to work. at n profit, the vast deposits Oi low grade copper and other smslting ores that cannot be reduced now because of the great cost ot coke.

In reply John Tewksberry and George Blaine opened fire on McCann, who reciprccated the compliment. His first shot struck Blaine in the mouth and came out at tine back of the neck, iutiicting a wound which Is thought tO be fatal, although the wound el man k still alive. John Tewksberry started tO run at this juncture, which, doubtless saved him from injury, Gs NIT. McCann Is a very true shot. After the shooting Marion McCann surrendered himself to the neare-t magistrate, l.. r. Nash, and upon examination was exon erated from al! blame. In the meantime a warrant Was sworn out and placed ID the hands of Constable MOrl8n for the arrest of the Tewksberry party, but they refused to obey the warrant, being pro tected m this action by Deputy Sheriff Rose.

The Government Chemists Report on
 Baking Powders.

To the Editor of the CITIzES: The recent publication of the report, giving the comparative merits of various bak' ing powders, accordiug z to tests made by the government chemist. has induced some of the manufacturers of brands, whose inferiorIty was thus brought to light, to resort to various means and publications, in order to rid themselves of the results of that unfavorable expo sition of their infenouty.
 That the public may fully understand the matter. and to avoid any nIscOncep- tiOn arising out of the statements of our competitors, seeking to break the force of the report, I herewith subjoin the main part Of the report, ID which the comparative values are correctly given.
 Dr. Loves tests were made to determ- inc what brands are the most economic al to use. And as their capacity lies in their leavening power, tests were direct ed solely to ascertain the available gss of each powder.
 It Is proper to state that all the pow ders examined were from the open mar ket, and that the original labels were in every case broken oy Dr. Love him. self.

ANOTHER FAILURE.
Unsuccessful Attempt of the Democrats to
 Organize d Club

The Democrats seem to be hayins
 considerable difficulty in their efforts tr organize a club in this city. They hay, made several attempts and each time failed. The last effort was made last night and resulted as all other attempts A few Of the faithful collected at the city hall and after waiting until nearly len o'clock for crowd concluded to open the meeting. When Mir. TulIy called the meeting to order il was found that there were just fourteen Democrats present and the lack of members was fully equalled by the lack of enthusiasm. Ot the fourteen present, six. c. B. Ses sions. Wm. Zeckendorf, II. $. Stevens. J. A. Browder, Robt. Potthoff and Y'. j.. White are leading spirits in the Citizens and Taxpayers organization. Whether They were present for the purpose of capturing the Democracy or for the req Son that they had abandoned the new party was not asceTtained.
 C. M. Strauss was nominated for chairman, but emphatically declined and Reformer Zeckendorf was called to the chair.
 Phil CrOvat, q straightout, was made secretary.
 RefOrmer Browder stated that the ob- lect of the meeting was to organize a "Illden and Hendricks club" Re former Stevens stated that Tilder was not m the fight, and asked Reformer Browder to strike ont the name of Til den and insert Cleveland. Reformer Stevens took the floor md suggested that the organization be called the Dem ocratlc club instead of the Tilden and Hendricks club. Reformer Browder promptly suggested that the President of the Citizens and Taxpayers Orcani- zation strike out Tilden and insert Cleveland. There may be no signifi- canoe attacked to the frequent use of the names comprising the "old ticket" but the name of the sage of Greysione seemed tu le decidedly convenient.
 A long discussion followed on the question of the name of the organiza- ton which IS tO be orgauiZed) and It was finally concluded to appoint com mlttee Oi five to draft constitution bylaws, to be presented at the next meeting, when a Eame for the Club is to toe decided DpOn. Tbe chair appointed Re-ormer Bruwter, Reformer Stevens, Rsformer Sessions, E. c. Parker and c. <. Elliott.
 Reformer Browder thought every one present should consider himself a com mittee of one tO Sc that the faithful are drummsd mp for the next meeting.
 EefOrint Stevens arose and said. "Mr. Chairman. if we have no Democratic paper to announce these meetings. I move yOu, sir, that all present who iu- tend tJ become members ot the club pay over to the secretary one dollar each to pay for advertising these meet iug- in a Republican paper"
 The motion prevailed and thoS" pres rnt began to ''plngle up" When the T akels ceased t fail into the Secrctary's Blaine hat that official announced tbat there k nine dollars IF the pot" 4 ghastly smile passed around the room and the meeting adjourned.
