Extra Legislation.

Petition are now being circulated in
 the southern part of the territory pray
 ing for an extra session of the legisla-
 ture to provide means for the protec-
 tion of settlers in the country which
 has been, now and will continue to be
 afflicted by the Indians. As the stock
 men are the predominating victims of
 these worthless wards of the govern
 ment, Hoof and Horn is anxious to see action taken that will afford them
 some relief, and will rse all means possible to advance such action. This question has been agitated to such an extent as to require no more publicity of the fact that something must be done. The majority of the people have come to the conclusion that the territory will be obliged to solve this problem and that it might as well be done now as any other time. The stockmen are class of people who re- side in isolated parts of the territory, and who come forward with their pro rata to maintain the various public institutions, but who derive but very little benefit therefrom. It is said that these petitions have been signed by the entire tax-paying community in the country adjacent to these troubles and surely these people should receive some recognition as citizens in their request for protection.
 Governor Zulick recently issued a proclamation which, in substance ,only serves to "tip his hand" on this ques- tion He warns all evil-doers" that the Indians must not be molested, clearly showing that he is not out here as a protector of the people. but simply as thumb screw, and with the understanding that he is under such subjunction that any move con trary to the wishes Of others is liable to severe his official head. He says the renegades will will be pursued un- til their utter destruction is effected by the federal troops. This affords but satisfaction to the frontier settler when he looks back on the years of chasing that has been done by these troops and to-day sees his stock run off and his neighbor slaughtered by the "pursued."
 While we are of the opinion that the territory should grant the peti- tioners protection, nothing may be expected by petitioning Governor Zu- lick to call an extra session of the legislature. Even if he favored the proposition the United States statutes do not provide for an extra session. On one occasion the legislature run over the designated time allowed by the statutes, and the bills passed at the extra session were declared void. | The only means of accomplishing the desired end is to present the petition to congress, which is now in session, praying that body to authorize the calling of an extra session of our leg and Horn.

NOTICE
To the Occupants of Lots on the "Way UP'' Mining Claim
 Surface.

Thave-heretofore notified you that I own three-ffths of the surface ground of the Way Up mine. I now notify you that I claim no right to said ground against anyone who has been in possession of lot or lots thereon for five years, as I think the five years statute of limitation com menced to run on September 9, 1880, when the patent to the townsite is- sued. But, in any event, would not disturb anyone who has improvements on lot for several years; unless, in the case of one who has unidentified himself with those who fraudlently obtained the townsite title from Alder Randall, Mayor, or who now buys or has lately bought of them, or given them aid or assistance.
 But, as to all of the lots on said Way Up mine now vacant or unoccu- pied, or that have lately been settled on or bought from the townsite claim ants, or claimants under the Way Up mine, I will assert my rights, but will sell at a reasonable price, reserving my right to refuse to sell to anyone who, by purchasing lots as aforesaid from other claimants and paying for more than two-tifths thereof, or who has unidentified himself with the frauds.
 N. B. The two-ffths interest in said Way Up surface which I do not own or claim, does not belong to any one in Tombstone, as near as I can find out by the records of the county.

The Presidents Reception To-day.

KIP VAN WRINKLE AFTER AN OFFICE.
The Presidents reception this afternoon at
tracted very large crowd to the White House.
and the President went through the handshak-
ing ordeal in the same good natured way that has
characterized all the public receptions since his
Inauguration. Among the visitors to-day was
miniature Rip Van Wrinkle, with long
white hair and beard and pleasant blue
eyes. He had endeavored to see the
President yesterday without success
Before the President appeared to-day the old
man confided to those about him that he was
an applicant for the postmastership of
DriftwoOd, Pennsylvania, but he was
perfectly willing to accept the Office
of U. 9. minister to Mexico, or any
other position that would give him living. He
shook hands with the President, but had only
time 10 tell him that he would like 70
tank with him, and then had to move on with
the line. After the reception he took u seat in
the vestibule, hoping that something would
