Cattle Interests.

NIT. O. W. Beach, the owner and vet eran editor of the Prescott Miner, IS Tn the city en route from Texas to his old home. About a year ago Mir. Beach went to Texas with a view of purchas- ing cattle for his Kirkland valley ranch He purchased 2,OOO head, but being de- barred passage through New Mexico with his cattle he bought a water right on the staked plains, l30 miles east of the Pecos, in Terry county, and an entire section of school land, by which the water is controlled Texas, he says, i. rlch in cattle but poor in land, and Arizona, with its great grass acreage, could with wise legislation become pro portionally rich. If, said he, the legisla- ture would make appropriations for the purpose water could be secured at al most any point on the deserts, and by leasing the same to the owners of cattle the rich but now unyielding ranges could be made productive. In Texas and New Mexico ,A0 ,xpeEdlture of a few thousand dollars to secure water supplies Is a most profitable venture. Wells are sunk, canyons damned and great reservoirs made wherever feasible and justified by the grass wealth of the contiguous country. If Arizona would do likewise the increase m her tiOcks and herds would be propOrtiOnally great. The importation Of Texas cattle, MT. Beach thinks, should be-encouraged in- asmuch as 1t would tend to increase the wealth of the Territory. The reported di.ea.es said 10 have been prevalent among Texas cattle during the past year were but bugbears gotten up to subserve certain uims. In hIs IeighbOrhOOd there were not less thah I5O,CO0 head of cattle, and they were virtually and practically without dise-,s of any kind. In his opinion cattle were never more free from disease than were the cattle Cf Texas during the past year. The cattle inspectors on the New Mex leo line charged for inspection $500 per 1000 head of common stock and Sl per head for graded stock, and as cattle fr, n Texas are moved III large bodies the mere matter of inspection amounted to considerable. MT. Beach purposes to retain hls interests in thIs Territory, and pass his time partially here and par tislly at his new home.

Fire This Morning.

As the whistles blew o'clock this
 morning an alarm of fire was sounded,
 smoke having been discovered issuing
 from the wholesale and retail liquor
 house of Hill, Avondsls & Co, William Kane, agent No. 215 Congress street.
 The fire department was promptly on hand, and forcing open the rear en- trance, fronting on Maiden Lane, poured Tn stream of water and quickly had the flames under control The fire IS supposed to have started under the bar counter near the rear door. Its origin IS unknown, but Is attributed 10 rats or mice causing the ignition of matches. The total loss resulting from the fire is about S2,JOO. The insurance is SIOOO. covered by the London, Lancashire and Liverpool companies, of which William A. Scott, Jr., IS resident agent. An ad- luster Is now on the way, and will be nere ln the course of a couple Ct days. Mir. Kane, when seen by the CITIZEN man, stated that It had been bis purpose to have made visit to the QuijOtoa "gB anu Nucl Nuc Ire alarm was sounded was eating breakfast in the the Fashion. Some one ran in and told hlm of the fire. but be was of the belief that the story was intended as a joke. Being convinced to the contrary, how ever. he hurried to his store to find the interior ID tiam.s. He stated that he formerly slept in the house, but had not done SO for the past four months. He closed the store at 10:30 o'clock last evening and went home, leaving, as he thought, every thing safe. Mir. D. Shy der was also interviewed, but he knew nothing beyond having about 5 o'clock gone to the store to call Kane, under the impression that he slept there, to get ready for the Quiiotoa stage. He saw light inside and knocked loudly on the door, but received no answer, and went away Believing that Kane had gone to breakfast and left his lamp burning. It was for tune thought that the tailoring establishment of Mir. Muel- Ter would also be destroyed, there being several doors in the adobe partition be- tween the two. Through these the smoke burst in great volumes, but for tunately the fire was confined to the store Ill which 1t originated.

LIFE IN ARIZONA.
A Peaceful and Presps-ous Territory
 Mormon ConyIcis.
Detroit Evening News.I

Detroit Evening News.I
 Are the Mormons in Arizona a dIsso lute and reckless lot of peopleY va: asked United States Marshal J. W. Ev, ans, of that Territory, on his recent visit to Detroit with three convicted and sentenced Mormons.
 Not at all" he replied. Except for their polygamOus practices, they are as good citizens as there are ID the Terri tory"
 How do they live!" Their surroundings are as good as those of the 'gentiles.' They are mainly agrlculturlsts, and some of their resi- dences are noted for their beauty and picture squeness."
 How many Mormons are there in Arizons?"
 "As near as I can calculate, about S,OO0. and as whole they are prosper ous."
 "How many of these have been con- victedS1
 "Only five so far. Others will be tried at the next term of the court in April"
 And do yOu expect to root them all up?"
 Yes, in the end. although it Is hard work 10 get the right kind of evidence that will convict. For example, there IS one man in my town. Tucson, having three wives and p children, all living in the same house. He is the editor of paper. He never introduces the women as hls wives, he never allows them to trade ln his name, he admits to his home none but the faithful and so thus far he has been too shrewd to leave laying around loose any evidence that he Is a law-brenker. This Is also the case with many other. families, but by persistent watching on the part Of detectives, de- coys and citizens generally we hope to finally land them all in the peniten- tiary."
 What areithe chief characteristics of Arizona?"
 "It is as peaceful q Territory as the State of Michigan, and in this respect differs from some of the other IerritO- ries. Grazing, agrIculture and mining are its principal industries. More money IS invested in cattle than anything else, perhaps, as the Pacific slope furnishes q market for all that can be raised. Cat tlsmen expect to clear from 30 to 40 per cent On their investments each year. The soil Is good, the climate neither too warm nor too cold, and rain falls every month Tn the year. Altogether 1t is as good Territory to move too as can be found in the United States, and IS bet Ger than most of them"

A PITIfUL FATE.
nisters Good Deed Landed Him Ah Insane Asylum. The story
 or His Esrape.
O the Editor of the Milwaukee septinsl.


 To the Editor of the Milwaukee sen,;,.,
 SIk:-l have read a good many storie, oI late concerning the Confinement ol sane persons in lunatic asyIums- and an thereby prompted to relate a Int ol personal experience.
 In the year 1855, while was seryino tne Methodist Episcopal church in s NeW Ehgland town, a neighbors house LOOK hre. In common with others. I Sto0d on the edge Of ihe roof, passing pucAets or water, exposed to intense neat on one side and freezing winds on the other. l took a fearful cold. For twenty -hve years 1t worked havoc in my Ph!si and mental systems. Never theleSs, I continued in my ministerial dutles. l preached many a sermon when suffering intense agony. At cer- tdln periods, however, I would be con- paratIvely well, and then again, my head would get heavy, my breathing labored, my appetite tickle. l would lose inter est Tn life; feel sleepy at midday, and wakeful at id-night. My heart oc- casionally gave me great concern. Not Knowing to the contrary, l attributed this Ill feeling to malaria. But eventually mental strength faded away, and l was utterly prostrated. 1 was cauterized, cupped, blistered, and treated by many phy ysicans in many different ways.
 My case was u puzzle as much to my physicians US to myself. For one of them at first prescribed for delerium tremens, ani yet l had never tasted h. to1icatlng liquors. Another sad I had 0raIn disease, another spinal difficulty, another nervous prOstration, heart disease, etc.
 My mind eventually gave way, and in lSo2 l was confined in the Brattleboro. VI, Insane Asylum for SIX months. When l Knew where l was, 1 demanded instant release. I then made a visit to OceaDic, \. J., but had rockoned too much on my strength. aggln lost my reason for considerable period.
 That l was m a desperate condition Is evident. My blood had become in- fected with virus, which Inflamed my brain occasionally and doomed me to an early death; for no physician gave ne any hope of cure. l finally found out what my real disorder was, and under took my own treatment. In a few months 1 was restored to such a state of health as l never expected to enjoy. That was over three years ago, and my physical and mental health have re- mained intact to thls day.
 Last March l came west, and engaged Tn garden farming. In all that time have not lost days work; have appar- ently enjoyed the most vigorous health and 1 expect to live the fuil term of life The remedy I used was Warmers safe cure, and if l should live a thousand years, should never tire of telling its praises.
 You will confess with me, MT. Editor, that such a change Is remarkable. And you wlll, also, l am sure, agree with me, when l say that whatever created such Q mental and physical restoration Is de- serving the highest praise.
 Very truly yours,

There was considerable shooting up claims done m the neighborhoOd of the Quiiotoa on the morning of the New Year. Several claims of value, because of their nearness to the bonanza group, and upon which the requisite assess ment work had not been done, were the main bone of contention. Several par ties camped on the ground tO be m read mess when the steam whistle sounded the New Year to make their locations; and as each had the same object in view, a disturbance arose which for a while looked somewhat threatening, but oil was poured on the troubled waters by a mutual division of the various mines comprising the group.
