 g EDITOR SILVER BELT In the Tue. son Star of the 10th instant appeared a communication, over the signature, of SaR. DeLong, from which it is evil dent that the writer desires to gain some cheap notoriety for himself at the expense of John P. Cum and, at the same time, tries to boom General Crook. Now, in regard to Mir. Clum, he may have faults and that he has made mistakes in his lifetime, | do not undertake, to deny, for he would not be human were it otherwise, but, nevertheless, he has rendered in- valuable services to the federal gov ernment and to the people of Arizona, while acting. as Indian Agent at San Carlos, He was efficient and upright, in tue discharge of his duties in that most important position. He lappre- ciated the fact, evidently, that there was a grave responsibility resting up on his shoulders, and thatthe safety of the lives and homes of hundreds of toiling citizens was dependent upon his personal conduct of affairs at San Carlos. He protected the Indians in their rights and, at the same time, was strict with them, giving them to un- derstand that. they must obey the laws and respect the rights of citizens, which-is not the programme at San Carlos to-day, and every old Arizonan is aware that under MT. Clums ad- ministration of affairs at San Carlos there was. noA blood shed nor Indian outbreaks. As journalist and a citi- zen also, he has made a record of which he has just right to be proud. He never made a living by the sale of cheap grog at military post which is the selfsh'motive of his traducer in the Star, to serve the purposes of Gen. Crook and the military, whether right or wrong. and, consequently, it is not surprising, that the Star correspond- ent advocates the transfer of the In- dians to the exclusive control of the military branch of the government as proper solution of the much vexed Indian problem, when it is self-aggram- dizement that actuates him. Mir. De- Long hopes to be rewarded in the flu ture by the military, should the trans fer of the Indians into their charge be made, for his services in vilifying a man by far his superior. slt.sya

ANOTHER HAND PLAYED.

Readers of the Epitaph will remem- Der the wholesale arrests made in the Dragoon mountains near here about three weeks since, by Chief Deputy U. s. Marshal Evans and posse, and their subsequent release by writ of habeas corpus issued from Probate Judge Feels court. Evans at the time sub- mitted very gracefully to the inevita- ble, and it was supposed by those un- familiar with that officer that the mat ter was ended. Evans, however, qui- etly bided his time, and when the U. $. grand jury met at Phenix last week he was present with a complaining witness, and indictments were found against the entire party. Armed with a bench warrant from the court, Evans, Sunday evening returned to Tombstone, accompanied by Deputy US. Marshal Dunavan, and during the night the two, taking with them a man named Daxls, who has been an employe of the 0. K corral for some time, went out to the Dragons and arrested a contractor named "Jap" and several of'his men. Others of the party wanted were found in the city. Yesterday morning the two officers and ten prisoners mounted the stage and started for Phenix. Learning of the arrest, Judge Peel threatened Evans with another habeas corpus, but desisted when shown the bench warrant. Judge Thomas Mitchell, at whose instance the first habeas corpus was gotten out, went to Phenix also, being determined, as he said, to see the matter through.-Epitaph, April 18th. ..0..0.
 If these men should be imprisoned or mulcted in damages it will prove detriment to if not entirely suspend mining and milling industries. Timber is required for shafts, drifts and tun- nels and wood for making steam. A ruling of the secretary of the interior in reference to the use of timber on government land, for home consump- ton, is favorable to the accused. Itis not claimed that timber or fire wood cut by these men has been sent be- yond the borders of the territory. Had it been exported an offense, ac- cording to the secretarv's ruling. would then have been committed.

 A Washington special to the St. Louis Republican says:--Representa- tive White of Kentucky has written a letter to Springer reiterating the charges against Gov. Murray of Utah and saying that if there is any doubt of their truth in the minds of the com mittee it would be we'll to summon a number of witnesses whom he men, tions by pame. Among them are Hon: Waltef Evans, commissioner of internal revenue, and ex-Atty. Gen. Taft. A. M. Gibson has also written a letter to Chairman Springer relative to Gov. Murray's testimony, in which he says: .I am accused of being paid by the Mormons to send abroad de- famatory dispatches concerning the past official record of this champion of Gentle morals of Salt Lake. With lofty rhetoric he describes me as a beautiful omen, with Eolian attach ment.'' ''' Gibson then goes on to say that if the committee will exercise the legal attachment provided by the house of representatives and permit him to examine the witnesses he will undertake to prove that the charges made against Murray while marshal of Kentucky are true, and that he has prostituted his present position to further the schemes of a ring of plum derers. ...s...at l,.tss. r.... ....

MORE MONEY NEEDED.

Attorney-General Brewster has sent an extraordinary communication to the house of representatives. He says during the remainder of the current fiscal year the following appropria- tions will be needed for expenses of United States courts; Fees of United States attorneys, S90,000; fees of clerks of United States courts, $60,000; fees of jurors, $60,000; fees of witnesses, S60,00O; miscellaneous expenses of court, $30, ,000; fees of marshals, $75.- 900; total, $375, 900. The Republican congress last winter made the appro- priation for the expenses of the de- partment of justice for the current fiscal year. Either congress failed to do its duty, or. the department has been- guilty of unexanpled ex- travagance. If the above enormous deficiency had occurred in appropria- tions voted by a Democratic house it's members would be accused of an un- patriotic attempt to starve the gov ernment.
 The deficiency, however, is explained by the extravaganza ofthe department of fjustice, in allowing its subordinate officers to multiply costs by running in persons upon trumped up charges and then, after fees are incurred, enter a nolle prosequi, alleging as a reason for dismissal that the principal wit ness is either dead or skipped to Mexico.

Franklin and Adams.

Some time during the revolutionary
period, or a little after, John Adams
and Benjamin Franklin were dis
patched from Philadelphia, believe,
TO Massachusetts. on public errand.
Adams had mortal antipathy, shared
by him along with the majority of
mankind at that day, against the night
air He believed that if he kept his
bedroom window open even crack at
night he would surely die. Franklin,
on the other hand, was a disbeliever in
the theory of danger in the night air,
and he had many arguments with
Adams thereon. Circumstances and
the crowded condition of many of the
taverns they stopped at on their jour
ney eastward compelled them frequently
to occupy the same room, and often
the same bed. Adams always opposed
raising the window, and poor Ben
nearly suffocated and reviled Adams
for his wrctched theory of the deadly
effects of natures universal medium of
breath. One night Ben slyly raised a
window in their common chamber, but
Adams, on the alert for his friend s
little games, insisted that II should be
closed at once. Said crafty Ben: Now,
Mr. Adams, we'll 90 to bed with the
window up, and will show you why it
will not be harmful for us TO permit the
window to stay open. If | cannot CON
vince you of the reasonableness of my
theory, | will myself get up and close
the window" Adams weakly con-
sented. and Ben began to reason with
him. Finally poor Adams was talked
to sleep, and Ben TRANQUILITY resigned
himself to slumber. Next morning
great was Adams horror at finding
the window up, but not having died
through the night, and feeling no i'll
effects from having breathed the night
air, he became convert to SLY Benja-
min s night-air theory. The author of
a history of America during the colo
NAL epoch told me this anecdote as
something amusing, which had hitherto
escaped type.

Extent of the Cars Est ate.

One may form some idea OF the ex-
tent of the possessions belongingto the
Russian Emperor, as property lmmedl-
ately attached to the crown, when
we hear that the Altai estates alone
cover an area of 10000, 600 dcsjatinS, or
over 10, 900 square miles, being about
three times the size of England and
Wales. The Nertchnsk estates, in
Eastern Siberia, are estimated at about
1S,000,0 600 desjatins. In the Altai es-
tates are situated the gold and silver
mines of Barnaul, Pauov, Smijov, and
Lok tjepp, the copper foundry at Sasoum,
and the great iron works al Gavrilov, in
the Saagirov district. The receipts
from these enormous estates are in a
ridiculously ptiful ratio to heir extent.
In the year 1882 they amounted to
$50, 900 rubles, or little more than
E95, 900; while for 1883 the revenue was
estimated at less than half this sum, or
about 400, 900 rubles. The rents etc,
gave a surplus over expense of admin
istration of about /, 800, 600 rubIe5. On
the other hand, the working of the
mines showed a deficiency of over
l,bDD,UUU TuDltS, HtHCc tHC ItSult JuSL
indicated. A partial explanation of
this unsatisfactory state of things is to
be found in the situation of the mines,
which are generally in places quite des-
titute of wood, while the smeltingworks
were naturally situated in districts
where wood abounds, sometimes asmuch
as six hundred or seven hundred kilome-
tiers distant from tho mines. The cost
of transport OF raw materials became
considerable in this way. BY degrees
all the wood available in the neighbor-
hood OF the smelting-works became
used up, and it was necessary to fetch
wood from distances of over one hun
bred kilometers. Formerly the mines
were really penal settlements, worked
by convicts, who were partly helped by
immigrants whose sons were exempted
from military service on the condition
of working in the mines. But since
the abolition of serfdom this system
has been quite altered, and there is now
a great deal of free labor on the ordi-
nary conditions. London Times.
