The old adage that where there is
80 much smoke there must be some
fire. possibly originated from the con-
temptation Of political convention.
When men first gather in a public
hal, they are not, generally, smoking,
and as consequence many seem i'll
at ease. There will be a nervous
shifting about, a series of whispered
consultations, and merry jokes, few
suggestions as to organization, and
there seems to be general lack of
business energy. But in the twink
ling Of an eye-or rather, in the fill
ing Of a nostril-all is changed.
With the rapidity of thought, forty
matches crack and flash, forty mouths
are puckered, and forty cigars began
to shoot forth their fragrance. Now
all is in readiness for business. The
Chairman is selected, the Secretary

HE recent municipal election dem- onstrated one fact-tbat our city contin- ues to increase in population. Every county, village or school election since our dismemberment by the creation Of Gila county four years ago, has shown a similar state of affairs. Maricopa county never goes backward. |, is true that We have our intervals of depression h which the pessimist comes to the front with gloomy predictions for the future, but every year has shown, Rs surely as 1t rolls around, a small increase in crop |, m mining development, in people and ID capital since Maricopa couaty vas first organized. Our tax roll SO tcEtifies to the same result During tue past two years more capital has come to Phenix and AaricOpa than was combined n this valley before that time. Some has been invested and more awaits investment all of which 6 developing or Is prepared to develop our mining resources. That our progress Is so steady and yet So gradual is not the least reassur.ng feat ure in the consideration of tIis matter. Now that our titles have been strength ened, in the forfeiture oi the Texas Pa cific grant, and the virtual dismissaI of the Reavis steal, it is expected that the interests of the Salt river will be in- creased and advanced more rapidly than before.

EVER since mining began, one of the E0rst pests it has had to deal with IS the shark who. after mine has been de- Feloped by others industry, suddenly discovers that he has a claim to it. The Leadyllle Herald has this pointer on the subject:
 "A party by the name of Sam Collins no relative, We believe, to the ublqul- Sous iOm) has suddenly discovered that ae Is entitled to an eighth interest ID 'he ownership of one of Leadville's most 'a4uable mines. MT. Collins might have s.Rakened to similar delusion at any ume during the past six years, but for s'Me unaccountable reason he neglected 'o do so until the other day. It is just possible that the Rip Van Wrinkle leth- a'sy oi MT Collins was disturbed by sy4e or those legal luminaries of Colo iaio who are ever oh the qui yive for a AtAsy excuse to stir up litigation, and HEose presence in any community IS pane instead of a blessing. 1t IS a pahiui commentary on our vaunted P'ogresslveness to state that there IS no law by which the mischief making pow CT CT ot these pettitoggers can be curbed.

 Every day We hear of horses being stol-

 have been tracked into Sonora. Sabiuo
 Otero of Tubac had 43 head stolen &

 Calabasas, and between there and Ben-
 son, have suffered more or less from the
 cupidity of these birds of prey, who by
 rights should decorate hempen collar.
 r. Moore, who had 0 valuable four-year

But it IS needless tO euumerate EOre dopTeda- tons, We gre unable either to condole with the losers, or give uttCrance to our thoughts. The towns bordering the railroad. are full of robbers, who beng broke by gambhnZ. perhaps hungry and desperate from the same pastime, are ever on the alert to contiscate any stock that may be running loose; Sonora Is q good place to dispose Oi them, and bye and by some of cur sports may have chance to win back tho i'll gotten gains ot these splendid specimens Ot human lsy who rub shoulders with us m our saloons and on our streets, and sheer at Us under their breath for being so leni- -nt, unsuspicious and darzed f0Olish.- Frontier.

All the grandsOns of Harry Clay were dissipated. The brightest ot them was Henry, who was shot dead in a bar room not long ago It Is recalled that James. the eldest, was at one time en gagged to Miss MaggIe, daughter of Sen atOr Beck. His habits compelled her to break of the engagement. When her marriage with young Glr. COrcOran. nephew of the banker, was arranged. Clay sent him word that the ceremony should never occur. So fearful was Miss Beck of some tragedy at the church that when she arrived at the door she did not wait Co have her wraps thrown around her. bU: nervousiy threw open the carriage door and ran into the veStibule. It was a cold, raw day, and she caught cold, which resulted in her death before the honeymoon was over. The young mln's threat did end in a tragedy.

WITH frequent sittings of the Dis trict Court; the continuous session of the County Court; a Probate Court holding regular and seRsonable hours; three Justices of the Peace possessing fame and experience, and R Police Court that seems like an unchaIn- ed bulldog to culprits, the average Tucson scoundrel can see but little inducement to commit crime. He IS not much afraid of the law; it Is justice that makes him shiyer.

 WASHINGTON, May GA letter was issued to-day from the office of the Commissioner of the General Land Office to Royal Johnston, Surveyor General at Tucson, Arizona, in whose office certain papers have been filed in the matter cf an alleged grant to one PeTalta, claiming and embracing a region Oi country 49 by l50 miles in ex- tent, agGregating 40O1,0o0 acres of land, including the city of Phenix and towns of Florence, Globe and Silver King, the major portion of the counties of Msricops, Pinal and Gila. and q large portion of the White Mountain and San Carlos Indian reservation. The letter says: Evidence that no such record exists is sufficient evidence that no such grant was made. The essential foundation of recognizable claim under the laws of Span and treaties and laws oi the U. 5. does not appear in tLis Case. IL Is my opinion that the futile work in which you have been en- gagged for n year and a half in the direc- tion oi Investigating the alleged claim, when from yoEr statement of its un- corso;orated character, had not been nlaeeI before you III a condition to be entitled .o consideration, should forth with be discontinued"
