The residents along the route of the Bowie Station and Fort Thom- as stage line will be pleased to learn that change will take place in the management of the line on the first proximo. Mir. s. w. Pom eroy, of Clifton. a veteran in the stage business has secured the con- tract for carrying the mail on thls route and will assume charge on the above date when the people can rest assured of excellent ser vice. Before the construction Of the Arizona & New Mexico Rail road to this point Mir. Pomeroy owned and superintended the stage line between here and Lordsburg and we feel justified in saying that no better line in any respect could be found iu any state or terri tory. In consequence of the neg ligence or indifference of the pres enr contractors the Bowie and Fort Thomas stage line has fallen into diirepute with the travelling public but under MT. Pomeroy's management 1t is hoped that all of the lost patronage will be regain ed, and that the line will become IS 1t once was 2 thro1gh route to CtIo!s.

Morenri Matters.
NIorenei. June 2l. 1ssi.


 The mines in this vicinity are producing both in quality and quantity the usual amount of ore and notwithstanding the deprecia- ton in the price, the output o1 copper continues the same, and will continue, despite all reports tc the contrary. The concentrators ara financially a success, but owing to the machinery being new and somewhat complicated they are a source of considerable annoy ance to the management. The concentration of the low grade ores of this district is as yet but an ex- pertinent and still Tn it's infancy, and no doubt the difficulties at present experienced will be over come in time by use and increase of knowledge of the workings of the machinery.
 The serenity of the camp was disturbed last week by a visit from few well known local politicians, District Attorney Bolan; Sheriff Crawford, Recorder Stevens and Supervisor Weech arethe notables referred to. Mr. Layton promi- nent member of the Mormon church. was, l understand one of the party, but was prevented from coming over by a sudden attack of illness at the Longfellow. Mir. Weech, whose visit can be attri- buted more to q desire to inform himself as to the resources and developments of this section than to influence voters, departed the afternoon of his arrival, the other gentlemen however, having differ ent objects in view remained over night. Beyond having what is termed a good time and relieving themselves of some of their sur plus cash l am unable to state what benefit the party derived from their visit. As is well known and was clearly demonstrated at last election, this camp is not controll- ei by any political feeling. The motto O the leading men or rather man Is None but honest and com petent men for public positions" The candidate possessing these in the highest degree can rely on the support of this camp regardless of political affi- liation. Without these qualifica- tiOns neither party nor beer can influence a vote.
 The health of the camp is, what 1 may be termed, fair. Many are complaining but none arc seriously l ill. Mr. Sweeny's baby who has been dangerously i'll is convaIes- cent and the family of Mir Fred l Keller all of whom have been more or less unwell are recovering. |
 Dr. Lacy, who by the way has a neat and well filled office in the Hall building, is the attending and has, thus far, been successful in his treatment of the different cases. Justice Mclean has commenced registering voters and thinks that, unless something unforeseen occurs, there will be q considerable increase over pre- vious years in the number regis l tered in this precinct.
 Messrs. Cast, Cromwell and Cotton, on the organ, violin and | ,ornet, favor us occasionally with some very fine music.
 The Fourth will be celebrated ! this year by our patriotic citizens | in manner beitting the occasion. Fireworks and the ct ceteras re- Iuired for the occasion are already | provided. GR1NGo.

Duncan, June 22, 1sss. Everything quiet on the Gila. Having is over, and ranch work for the season done.

 Duncan is ambitious and will present more than one name at the nominating convention, and we think successfully.

Duncan was there in its entirety and Lordsburg was represented by good number of its brave and fair; who charter ed a special and came in with fly ing colors.

Yuma Correspondence.
Yuml. Ariz., June IS. 1886.

Yuma, Ariz., June IS, 1886.
 Editor CLARIoY:-
 The labor question in the East and anti Chinese agitation in the
 West does not seem to affect the material prosperity of the metrop- oils of the Colorado. In fact every thing in Yuma county appears to be working on substantial basis, with the single exception of the Republican party. Hon J. w.. Dorrington's bolt has thrown the local element of the party into confusion. The present status of affairs in this connection is that Mir. Darlington is repudiated by his own party and ignored in the ranks of the Democracy. His silly tirade against imaginary enemies in late issue of his paper, demon strates conclusively the absence of mental force with which he was charged by his partisan friends followers he has none. Realizing his political collapse and the futil- ity of further political aspirations he will leave for the East in short time to return in January and subsequently, to the elections.
 The political chaldron is begin ming to simmer in Yuma, but, as yet, the chief interest Is centared Tn the office of sheriff. Among the possible candidates are Jos. God frey, W. NJ. Smith, Mike Nugent, at present turnkey at the peniten- tiary, and Andrew Tyner, the pres ent incumbent, with a possible dark horse or two in the field. So far as your correspondent was able to learn Tyner, who is a sterling Democrat, stands pre-eminently in advance of all his possible com petitors.
 Sam. Purdy is silent as death about political matters, but now and then evidence of his handiwork appears in the slowly shaping frame work of ''combinations." It is not known what his individual are, but his popularity is so great he cannot fail to get there"
 The penitentiary, under tue economic and judicious manage ment of Hol. Thomas Gates is making rapid strides toward self support. All improvements Inaugurated by his predecessor are fast nearing completion. The Board of Prison Commission will meet here on the 1st proximo for the purpose of auditing bills and, perhaps, appointing an assistant superintendent. This latter ac- ton will likely be called for by the present incumbents resigna- ton.
 There is some feeling here among Democrats owing to the fact that the resident deputy Col Iector of customs has recommended q Republican for appointment as line rider under him.
 Major Magoffin, who is the col lector of customs at Fl Paso, Tex IS, and q Virginlan, has appointed oaly Virginians to fill the deputy ,ollectorships in Arizona. This fact is not matter of much conse- luence ln itself. but when these Virginians declare by their actions hat only Republicans are fit to be ! associated with them, it is time to ,ry "a halt" It is a matter of re- narkable coincidence that U. $. Marshal Mead, also Yirginian, 1 las selected his deputies only from lmong Virginians-one excepted.

The election for school trustees takes place next Saturday. Let those who have the interest of our public schools at heart be on hand and vote for those who they think are best qualified for the position. Almost any citizen will serve as a matter or duty but no oae desifes to become candidate for a posi- ton to which nothing but care and trouble is attached. The position of school trustee Is the only au- thenhc case on record, at least i'll this county, where the office seeks the man and not the man the office.

A TKLEeRAPH1c dispatch from Quebec

A TKLEeRAPH1c dispatch from Quebec,
says: "Rome has finally spoken upon the
question of the knights of labor. The socie-
ty is unequvocally condemned by the holy
soc, and the bishops of the church are en-
joined to proceed against it as against all the
81 cret societies under the papal ban. Car
dinal Taschereau has just communicated this
decision to the public here in the shape OF
letter addressed to his bishops." This is only
what has been expected would occur as soon
as the matter should be brought TO the at
tention of the Pope. The Catholic church
has always been conservative, and it is in a
large degree owing to the possession OF that
quality that it now, as in the past, is enabled
to lead any of the other Christian denomina-
tions in point of numbers. The radicals OF
all countries assail it, and although they
slaughter it's dlgnitaries, con6scate its prop
erty and expel its societies, it never fails
to revive with increased influence with the
Inevitable return of conservative predomin-
ance Catholics constitute large element
of the knights labor, and the action OF the
Catholic members of that organization, now
that the head of their church on earth has
spoken in regard to it, is anticipated with
considerable interest.

Mr.. PowDERLY. the head of the knights OF
labor, has over and over again asserted that
that organization ia in no sense a political
body; that it recognizes neither creed, sex,
politics. age nor previous condition, and
that such considerations have no place IN
the fundamental principals of the order.
And yet from all parts of the country come
accounts to the effect that the Knights
where they think themselves strong enough
to succeed, are nominating their own mem
beers for Office, and, where not strong enough,
are making combinations for the election OF
men who will make them the most faVora-
BILE promises. Mr.. Powderly must be phe-
nominally insincere, or else the secret order
of which he Is the acknowledged head has
very little regard for what he says.

THE DEMOCRATS of the frat congression-

ysnlion, Heartily endorsed aud approved
of the effort made by the majority OF the
dem cratic party in Congress to modify and
revive the oppressive war tariff which has
90 long weighed upon the energies and i'm
peded The progress Of the country, and urged
upon the fiftieth Congress renewed efforts
ip The same direction, having 10 view the
transfer of the burdens Of taxation from the
necessities to the Injuries of life" The
democrats of the frat district are good and
true and staunch democrats Of The olden
tims-of the time in which any man who
proclaimed himself in favor Of protective
tariff would have been booted out Of the
democratic party as monstrosity. A man
who denies the divinity of Christ may with
as much propriety be called Christian as
one who is in favor of protective tariff be
called democrat.
