The AnriI Ehiet Modified

COmmIOner Sparks has been crowded 70 h-avIly that he gave way a lietls ard

 about the departments, that the @Gep- l eraI' had decided to issue patents for all entries filed before he took charge of the
 office, which would have relleyed about 5000 settlers in the Northest from his
 clutches. but he did not go SO far. He
 only threw very small tub to the whale,
 and issued an announcement that he

TIE Tuc-on CITIZEN after roundly rating the action of the 18th Arizona Legislature, now evidently, thinks bet ter of that august body, and iu A lste number of the paper commits itself in its defense. The eiitOr should have beea patient and not have stepped in
 n an unopporIune tune. where the sc- ton of that body Is being scruiinized by a grand jury. It lnoks as though some of the CITIZENS frlends were un- der the harroS, aud It Was feared that unless the drag wac stopped they would be greatly injured In reputation. It has been charged that the Territory sus- tsined losses by unauthorized appro- priations, aLd willful waste of the peo- pies money and for that reason 1t is proper to iudicially enquire whether or not there Is fOundaiion for the report.- Belt.
 The CITIZEN is ID full accord with the above so far as 1t relates to judicial investigation of the set of the 18th Leg. islaturr. Of the Territorial papers the CITIZEN has been foremost in defense of the peoples rights and denounced at much personal cost the action of the legislators. individually and collectively, when 1t had reason to believe that they were prostituting their high office for personal gain. The CITIZEN has no friends to shield nor are any of its friends in jeopardy. We therefore favor the investigation and trnst that any ras- csljty there may have been will be un- eRrthed and the offenders be made to pay the full penalty of the law. The in- investigation EOw pending, If conducted n becoming spirit. will unesrth corrup- tion if there be corruption to unesrth, and do much to sstlsfy the people of the territory. The CITIZEN gives its cordial support, let ihe axe fall where it may.

 For more than three months the great pump III tue Grand Central mine at Tombstone, has been patiently heavlng away at tLe water m the bottom of th [ mine. It had been noticed that it was almost impossible to lower the water below a certain slevel. This led to long series of investigations Es Co the source of the water III the mine, when 1t was found that 1t did not come from the ttOm of the works Further in- disclosed the fact that the water pumped to the surface sank and never reached the San Pedro where 1t was supposed tO go. A series of eXperi- ments followed which demonstrated the peculiar circumstances that the water pumped to the surface ran back into the mine or into she stratum from which he water of the mine came. A Hume 1000 feet long Is tO he built to cary be water over the sink ard the miners will then bave solved the water prob em which threatened q to forever prevent be extraction of the.r large bodies ot precious ores.
