EDITOR CLARIoN:-Four compa- nies of the Tenth cavalry passed through Lordsburg on Monday on their way to Fort Grant, where they belong. Major Van Vliet was in command. This body of troops have made quite an ex- tended march, per orders from Gen. Crook, through Arizona and New Mexico. It seems hard ship to blame them for not having accomplished something during the campaign, when they were hampered with limited instruc tions conining them to a certain lire of action. We are assured by those who have had an acquaint ance with some of the officers of this command in Texas, that whilst there they made good records as Indian fighters. We will have more to say about this hereafter.

OFFICE OF THE GovERNoR. WheNas, it has been reported to me, on what I deem reliable authority. that on or about Fri day, the 22d day of May, A. D. 1885, five persons in the peaceful occupancy of their homes, on Blue river, in Graham county, Arizona, were foully murdered, their bodies mutilated and their homes plum dered, the perpetrators of the deed being, us is alleged, a band of Indians with whom the United States has amicable treaty rela- tious; and,
 Whereas, I deem Indians as amenable to the laws, as are white criminals.
 Now, therefore, I, H, NJ. Van Arman, Acting Governor of the Territory of Arizona, by the power in me invested, do hereby offer reward of $200 each for the arrest and conviction of the persons who committed these depredations and murders.
 And should fatal consequences to the murderers attend their ar rest, identification and proof that they were the guilty parties will be sufficient to obtain payment of the above reward.
 This reward, however, will not be paid to persons in the military service of the United States; nor IS 1t intended to give permission to go upon any Indian reservation. nor to in any wise interfere with the military authorities of the United States in the discharge of their duties, but is only intended to take such steps as are usually taken by the Executive Authority of the Territory concerning crim inals.
 In testimony whereof
 I have hereunto affixed SEAL. my name and caused
 the Great Seal of the
 Territory to be hereto
 affixed.
 Done at Prescott this 27th day of May, A. D. 1885.

This is the fourth time that Geronimo has escaped from the reservation where he is fed, clothed and cared for by the United States government. Each time he has gone forth on an errand of blood. It has been the same story every time-men murdered, women outraged, little children hacked to pieces, houses burned, cattle stolen and the future for prominent settlements thrown back for years. Three times the troops of the United States have pursued, captured and brought hin back Albuquerque Journal.

Some of our enterprising cit zens should take immediate steps towards making the necessary ar engagements for celebrating the Fourth of July. As far as We can learn, public opinion is divided as to the best place at winch to hold the celebration. Some advocate Metz's flat, others the hot springs, about two miles from Clifton, on the road to Gro. We have no choice ID the matter, but would suggest that our patriotic citizens hold meeting in order to decide where and how we should cele- brate. The festivities of the day, however, will be concluded by a dance at Smith & Barnum's hall, these gentlemen having offered the hall and music free.

4 Cheeky Bum.

OneOf our Main street barber shops
was the sceneo of a rather amusing in
cident lately, in which a bum got
badly left.
A stranger entered, and with the
cheek that comes only from drinking
BOzeman fire water, requested the
barber to let him take q bath free, at
the same time stating that he was a
busted C9ur D'Alener. The propri-
etor granted his request; and alter he
had ::been In the bathroom q short
time he called for Brig the porter,
who. by the way, halls from sunny
Italy, and whose knowledge of the
English language Is somewhat Inn
tied. When Brig reached HIM he
handed him his socks, which he had
washed, and asked him to take them
to the stove and dry them. Brig
took them and threw them into the
stove. thinking he had been told to
burn them, and then went upon an
errand to Walkervllle. Pretty soon
the bather wasready for his stockings
and commenced calling for the por-
ter; but no response, so he came
out In search of his socks. Not find
ing them he was compelled to pat on
his No: IL brogaus without socks. and
walked out into the street with the
mercury at Is below zero, vowing he
would never patronize another eslab-
lishment that employed q foreign por-
ter.

Daily MINER, we would say to the
citizens Of Butte, that in opening up
our auction department we shall nd.
here strictly to the rules that guide
all drst-class auctions, viz: None
but genuine bids will be accepted
Whenever an article is put up it will
be knocked down to the highest bid
der. no matter If it only brings one
tenth of its actual value No second
hand goods will be sold under any
consideration. No furniture nor any
article that does not strictly belong
to a general merchandise store.
To-day all throughout Oregon and
Washington the dark and lowering
cloud of hard times hangs like q pail
over the land. Old houses that have
stood tor q generation, totter and fall
and are known no more. Every re-
port of the Mercantile Miry0r brings
tidings of fresh failures. Each fail
ure throws another stock of goods
upon an already overburdened mar
ket. These goods must be sold.
They cannot be disposed of there. A
new market must be found. We
think that Butte City can furnish
that market. We shall give it a trial.
A large invoice of general merchan-
disc just received. Due notice of sale
will be given in this paper.

New YORK, Jan. 1.-The only
new developments in the local politi
cal chaos this morning, was in the
shape of q proposition offered by
counsel E. T. Wood, who was ap-
pointed counsel to the corporation by
the president of the board, alder
man Kirk, who acted as mayor be-
tween the hours of midnight, Dec.
3lst, until noon of Jan. LIST, Messrs.
David Dudley Field, Robert. Sewall,
Geo. Bliss aud Hugh L. Cole, as
such counsel for Col. Wood, offered
to enter into an agreed case and pre-
sent 1t to the general term of the
Supreme court. The unsuccessful
party can appeal the case and have q
decision by the end of this month.
Col. Woods representatives SLY if
this proposition is accepted, their
principal will take no steps toward
asserting his rights in the matter of
corporation ~cOunselship until the
final decision is reached. Lacombe
said he would probably make known
his answer Tomorrow. Mayor Grace
received many callers to- day. He
made NO important appointments to-
day. Those who looked for the ar
rest of any of the aldermen or ex-

in ignoring Judge Beach's Injunction
In regard to the action on the nOmi-
nation, were disappointed. Judge
Truax's decision on the validity of
that injunction is anxiOusly awaited.

The Mormon Catechisna.

SALT LAKE, Jan. 2-The school
case was heard to-day. The Gentiles
opposed the collection of the tax be-
cause they claim the school is sec-
tartan. Witnesses swore that Nor
mons only could get employment as
teachers, and that they were required
to close the school on Mormon fast
days, every month must paw tithing
and open with "Mormon prayers,D
dispositions read from . an assistant
teacher at Spanish Fork that two
theological classes IN the public
schools were reported as history
classes. The public funds have been
used to pay the tuition of Mormon
teachers of the Brigham Young
theological academy. Prof. Lincoln
testified that he visited the public
school at Ogden. The teacher made
the pupils recite the Mormon cata-
chism. A large volume of similar
testimony was given. Counsel for
the defense said the resistance was
revolutionary and calculated to de-
strOy not only schools, but the entire
system Of taxation.

Clark's Fork.

From Mr.. Harry Gasseft we learn
that considerable interest IL being
taken in the Clark's Forks mining
district, by eastern capitalists, whose
attention has been called there by
some of the owners of a few leading
mines. MI. Gassert, who is interested
in this comparatively unknown dis
trict, will leave for the main camp In
the course Of the coming week, a
venturesome trip at this season of the
year, al a portion of the trip must
necessarily be accomplished on snow
shoes. Letters from his foreman
state that q shaft is now down on one
of his mines, about SO feet in q body
of good galena ore, three feet of which
assays from SO OF. to $50 OF. In silver
and go per cent. in lead. The mines
so far discovered, prospect very high,
the major portion of them yielding
ore which averages from 40 OF. to ESQ
o.. A railroad has been talked of,
the ground surveyed and prepara-
lions made for its completion the
coming season.
The mines are situated but 20 miles
from the Yellowstone river and are
easily reached and worked. A
tunnel, 300 feet in length is now
being run to tap the main ledge of
one Of the principal mines at a depth
OF ESQ feet from the surface.
