In February there were lSI fires where
losses were between $4,000 and $780,
900, with one other fire of $500, zoo.
Adding tho January fire losses, this
makes for two months $4,000, 900, the
loss in Jan lary being Sl2 100000 and
that Of February 81 .000, 600. There
were only ,ght fires in February where
the loss rca he'd or exceeded 500, 900,
but where there were twenty-six de-
structiye fires which ranged between
$50, 900 aud 500. 900. Incendiarism to
get insurance is mentioned as causing
many fires but gross carelessness is after
all the main cause. The destruction of
buildings in which fires originate is of
ten but a small factor in the losses.

STORY OF 4 CHICAGO COURT
 SHIP.

A bronze-hliTed son of Arizona, who had the appearance of having been toy ing with the blizzards as they dance and skip around through the pine forests of the great Northwest, dropped into tEe beauty show in Chicago one day last week, where he fell victim to the smiles of contestant known as "No. G." She stood no show of taking the prize, but he didn't care for that He constituted himself her prize package, and as such cast himself at her feet with all the sud denness and fury of an Arizona zephyr She said she couldn't leave her mother.
 "Don't want ye to; want her to go along" sighed the blizzard
 He called on her that evening, and her seat at the beauty show was vacant the next day. His hair has been trimmed. the tailors have sized him up, and half dozen dressmakers are working them selves into headaches over an elaborate and substantial trousseau, because he must be back home in time to get the spring wheat sowed before corn planting Is on.-New Mexican Review.

4 BRILLIANT PERoRATIoN

Nots ithst. nliI S le t gal aneres char acterizing the trials for polysamy, the announcement of the commencement of arguments of counsel, has never failed to i'll the court house with an audience who continuei to listen with avidity to the unusual eIoquence which has distinguished the remarks of every counsel e gagged. The closing address by L. $. District At tornev Zabriskie, last evening, in the case of the United States vs. C. l. Kemp, was without doubt, one of the most eloquent forensic efforts that ever bore home con- yietion to the h arts o iur and awak- en d fear in the boson iaw-break, rs In closing Lis argument, the Colonel said:
 ''One thing gentlemen of the jary before close, desire specially to noticr. Tae comparison which the distinguished couns l for the defense drew between the Mormon and Catholic church, astuunded m. Think of such comparitou Uf of ,hy comparison in such a connection Think If this toad stool fungus which rinina:cs in the soil of moral filth in the old world, and is then transplanted here, being placed in juxta~ position with that grand old organization which in principle is as old as time itself, and which has withs!ood the transitions of so many memorable periods-an institution
 which has seen all the governments of the earth founded and which has led SO many nations in honor to the grave--an institution which has left it's indelible impress upon all the grand achievements of modern times, and has emblazoned the pages of history with the mpst brilliant names in literature, science and the arts. Such comparison is terrible to contemplate. This present tm- alation Is shame and disgrace, and an in- suit to the civilization of the age.

 With valuable agricultural and pastoral lands m quantities far beyond his wants or ability to make useful, he IS beggsr and dependent upon the g"re:nment; and wh, II the government fails to make suitable ap- propriation for his support, he is brought to the verge of starvation.

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC DEPRIVED OF THEIR
 PossEssI N.
 At Piedras Negras, Mexico, eight months ago, k. J. McCrocker. W. \. Monroe and others, jointly hol ing perfected titles to the land, conveyed to the Southern Pacific rail- road 200, GOO acres If coal land in the valley of Sabinas. Mexico. No sooner had the road obtained possession of the lands, than they commenced improving the place and built eleven miles of railroad to connect with the mines. Machinery was put ID and improvements of all kinds made, including the building If houses for miners. Under American management the mines were put ting out about seyenty-five tons of coal per day, and everything was working smoothly. 4 few weeks since, Milmo, banker, began suit on behalf of his wife, for theSe lands, and the other day the District Attorney of Zaragoza, represented by deputy in the absence of regular judge, after waiting three days fer an offer from the Southern Pacific folks for favorable judgment, and none being received, the court decreed that the present owners and operators of the mine should vacate the premises, taking away all of their improvement. within three days. The same length of time was given the miners to leave their Imes, and force of military was put in charge. By this act the uthern Pacific railway was deprived of pro. ety valued at s15o, ,0)0 Milmo has not yet beeD put in puss-ssion, but will be probably in few days. Tue Sabines coal is of good quality The vein averages eight fvet in thickness, IS practically inexhaust- ibln, and in the few nlrn'hs the Southern Pacific railroad had operated it, they had probably taken out 230 carloads and gave to 100 men.

MINING.

It is patent to overy one interested in
 mining Tn Arizopa-especially Yavapai County ty-that the failures through igno. rance are one 0f the primary causes of the present stagnation in that industry.
 Mills have been built and reduction plants constructed at an enormous ex peuse before 1t was ascertained whether there was any ore or Tot; hence we are compelled to record, from time to time, the most lamentable failures in a coun- try rich in minerals; a country that shows the richest percentage per ton, and even in quantities that excel the most favored and widely known districts. agers of the enterprise say they are de termincd to be assured that the ore will pay for the outlay. Messrs. Kinlock and Boskins have come here with an unlimited capital to ''back" them, and could go on immediately with the con struction of the plant but, wishing to make assurance doubly sure, they have taken several thousand pounds of the ore Cooper and silver bearing) to Den yer, there to be treated by Mir Kinlock himself, who is a practical metau'r r. is; aud refner. If the ore yields as ex pected, work will be commenced at once on the mine and shelter. If the same had been used on all ventures n this country we would now be in condition.
