THE GUNsIGMr nINE,

The Gunsight mine ID Pinal Coun- ty, is attracting considerable attention in southwest Missouri, where the stock is chiefly owned, because of complioa- tions which have arisen between c. NJ. Barry, lale Superintendent of the mine, and Dr. Chase, who negotiated tbs sale of the property to Missouri parties. Harry, after being sent our by the new Company as Superintend- ent, was so pleased with the Gunsight that he purchased Si0.000 additional shares of the stock from Chase, for which he deeded farm in Vernon County, Mo, and was to have also sur rendered personal property to the yalue or S50Oo. Before the personal property was transferred Barry, re- pented of his bargain and Hatly re- fused to pay Chase, asserting that the latter was fraud and the Guusight worthless. Barry's attorneys have in stituted shit to nave the deed to the farm set aside on the ground of fraud. Chase has sold the farm for S5,000 He still claims that the Gunsight mine is all that was represented and that Barry is trying to depreciate the stock with a viow of buying it up at a re- duced price.

INAUGURATION or PRESIDENT
 CLRgELAiSIs,

Grover Cleveland was inGngurated President of tho United States on Wednesday with the usual impressive ceremonies and considerable eclat. At l0;30 a. m,, the presidential party entered theis carriages which took the positions assigned them in the line. In the first carriage were President Arthur, President -elect Cleveland and Senators Sherman and Ransom. The occupants of the second carriage were Viee,P ,President,- elect Hendricks and Senator Hawlsy,
 As the procession moved down Pennsylvania avenue the greatest en~ thusiasm prevailed amongst the cons course of people who througed the sidewalks. The day was proptiors and nothing happened to mar the har- mony of the occasion, After reaching the Capitol, President Arthur stepped to the front of the platform, followed by the President elect, Chief Justice Waite and the Sergeant.at-arms of the Senate. All uncovered as they stood facing the vast assemblage and the ap- plause which greeted them was deaf euiug. When quiet had been restored Cleveland gave in clear and souorons voice his inaugural address, which was brief and concluded with an invoca- ton of the blessing of Providence, Thea turning to the Chief Justice and lowing he said Il am now prepared to take the oath provided by lay. !" Chief Justice Waite then administered the oath and after receiving tho con gratulatious of ez-Presldent Arthur and other prominent persons on the platform Cleveland retired to the car. riage in waiting and was escorted to the White House. The bali in the evening was a brilliant affair ard app propriately rounded out the inaugural ceremonies,

IGNORED.

Barter of the Tucson Index bemoans the fate of his bill appropriating $l0,- GOO to Arizona newspapers to De sent abroad for the purpose of advertising the Territory. The Leghlatprs en- tirely ignored the bill, which has a tendency to make the editor of the Index hot in the collar. To news paper men, Barter's proposition can not but appear ridiculous. Each pa. per was to receive the paltry sum of $250 for distributing weekly sor one year, 50 copies containg two columns and a half of special matter pertaining to the resources Of the Territory. Ac- cording to the author own reckoning, the value of the space given and tie estimated cost of the labor and material would be $7S0. So then his proposi- ton was, for the benefit of the Terri tory. to give that which is worth $7a0 for $250 How magnanimous No live newspaper man would for an in stant consider such a proposition. Barter further says that at the pres ent mot twenty Arizona papers are sent east. and that those that arc sent cnly reach the waste baskets Of certain eastern newspaper offices The latter may be true of the Index, put we know that many of our Territorial papers do circulate largely in the east. Several hundred copies of the SlIvER Bnr are sent east every week and go 10 bona-ide subscribers in almost every state in the Union.
 Tho press of Arizona has done good work in drawing attention to our Ter ritory and making known its re- sources, and we are aware that their efforts arc not duly recognized ncr appreciated hy our citizens
 Still we believe that the appoint ment of a Commissioner Of Immigfa- ton would be the most effective plan cfadgsrtising Arizona abroad, and we trust that thc Legislature win 70 view the matter

INDIAN PRESENTATIONS USE.
 AEMALX H.AMsk VI

It is rarely tha( an eastern newspa. per takes the csssct view of the In dian question but the following from the St Louis Globe.Democrst is per tinent and sensible:
 "When the country was thirty or forty years younger there was no ob- jection to giving the Indians all the benefits of ample hunting-grounds and plenty of room in which to grati- ty their taste for rowing while they should be reconciling themselves to tho philosophy of husbanary. We had more land than We knew what to do with. The pioneering faculty of our people had not yet been stimulated by the homestead law and the oponing Of great lines of railway across the aon- tineut But the intervening time has wrought a wonderful and impressive change The difficulty now is not to get men to go West and occupy wild lands and redecpa them to profitable uses, but to furnish the lands for those who are anxious to go, and whose only hope of bettering their condition lies in that direction There is something due to these homeless white men. They are at least entitled to lands which are lying idle under conditions of a superficial and indefsnsiblc char. acter If the Indians had reduced these lands to farms or otherwise util. ized and improved them, there might be some force in the clamor about pro. teeting the poor red man against white eupidity and robbery; but they have not cultivated one acre in a thousaad--and the Government has kept them in food and clething like SC many helpless and dependent chil, dren.n

IaPOsTANT LEGISLATION.

Congressional Legislation of moment to citizens of Arizona, was the enact ment of a law declaring forfeited lands granted in aid of the construc- tton of the Texas and Pacific railroad, which corporation was, through the ohicanery of the Soutbe,n Pacific k. R. Co.,, snuffed out, and the grant transferred by the former to the latter company Although we have no information that the enact. ment received the approval of the President, yet it scarcely admits of a doubt that the bill is now law. The bill forteiting lands granted the Allan tic < Pacific K, R. Co, at the hour of adjournment of the Forty y-eighth Con gress, was in the hands of conference committees, as was also bill to repeal pre-emption and timber lands.

Mr. Bayard, it IS said, is very reluc- tant to accept the position of Secreta- " of State, because of the expense im- posed hy soclety on the head of that department. It is said that bis means aye insufficient to maintain the extray- agant expenditure heretofore praeticed by chiefs of the department MT Bay ard should not, however, feel tho least hesitaney in accepting tho profered position of honor, as he will have the rare opportunity of introducing new and simpler mode of life, which is much to De desired. and in this de- rartEre he will receive the approba- tion Of all sensible people.
