Mir. Edwardy's Story.

Mir. W. M. E1wardy, who was witt
 Capt Dawton's cODmsnd as a scout snG
 newspaper correspondent during tnr campaign against the hostile Indians, l.
 Ill the city. His experiences m that
 notable chase furnish a very InterestIDg : | topic and many ot them have never
 been given to the pubic. lie contra diets the story that Geronimo ls young
 man of Mexican nationality. and that he was ever wOund-d. Geronimo claims to be forty five years of age but ls lIkeiy
 nearer fifty, and his son thappO l. thirty years old. He IS t fu!l bloOded Chirioahus. and has made his way up tO his influential position iD the tribe by his own ability. Y san speak ODly few words of the spanish or Engli-t languages, and those only ID a broken way. He Is a wIly old fellow, and as his surrender shows. he understands the wIde distinction between becoming a prisoner of WAT and an unconditional prisoner
 lt was GerOnimO's son who conduct ed the raii down the Santa Cruz the Rlncons and back through the Sants Ritas. Mir. Edvardy recognized m The hostile camp the gun taken from Robert Lloyd, when he WAS killed near Pantanu and also the silver-mOunted pistol they took from $. F. Wemple when they killed hum near Greaterville. This latter fact settles the question of the perpt trstors of that dastsrdIy murder
 Natchez IS very much hum bled by the present predica ment m which he finds himself. He Daces back and forth m hIs confinement like caged lion and IS restless and un- easy all the time.
 One of those who escaped st the time the hostiles surrendered, was a SOD Oi Ns,cheZ. and the three We're all bad Indians and sfrsid of being killed They undoubtedly went far tD the south in search of Mangus. and will never Sgain be heard of Mangus and his seven or eight followers are supposed to re some where m the Sierra Msdrea, long distance beyond where GerouImo's band visited, and be has evidently set tied down to free and easy fife among the wild mountains No apprehension l of hls return is felt, iDas much as all the | Indians of hls tribe have been removed l to Florida.

TIE democratic party, from even its
 presidential head down to the cratic
 local exponent of its shadovy prInci-
 pies, assumes a power in the executive,
 both national and territorial, to ami
 hilste the acts of the legislative branch
 of the public service. which is not given
 by the letter or spirit of my constitu-
 tional authority. It is sn established
 principle of our government that the
 law making power is vested exclusively
 ID the several state legislatures and the
 national congress, and that the
 constitutional exercise of the executive veto Is limited 10 6
 general care that the vital principles embodied in the constitution are not e1crosched upon. It was never con templsted that a president or a governor should employ his veto preroestIve be- cause of hIs personal opposition to legislative enactment, and by its eIer- cIse to clOthe himself with an un- warranted power equal to two-thirds of the exclusively lsE-making body. The legislative branch creates the laws and the executive branch requires them to be faithfully executed. It IS not part of the Legislative body. but IS giver 8 general supervIsory power to veto measures that conflict with existing provisions of the constitution. ThIs line of demsrkstion of the functions ot these departments has been recognized ss the -Isct intent of the law, by the most profound minds of our nation and it has been strictly observed up 10 the time of the assumption of power by the democrats, The people elect their lawmakers, and SO long as they do | not enact measures that infringe upon | the constitutional provisions, their pow CT is supreme. If they enact bad laws. the remedy lies ID the selection of law makers that will repeal them. The ex- scutive IS not responsible for the Gusllty | of the laws be IS required to enforce, md it is sn assumption of despotic su- ihority never intended to be given him 70 veto Legislative enactment inst is in its proylsions.

Olive.

Mir. Walter s. Neville. who is iu the city from the Olive camp, gives the fol- lowing notes of interest coDcernlr the mining interests of that incomI able chloriding camp:
 Mir. Ed Whi-e has sold his hslf ID- terest in the Old Pima mine to his part her, Mir. kaDZler, and will g to hls home ID California. The PimB has made many -hipments of good ore and now has thirty tons On the dump which will be
 hlpped forthwith. So far the ore
 hoped has netted SS6 per ton. The ore mas been taken out from among the grass roots, a large portion having been found in slabs that were Gaddsd out at.er foot or SO of sand was removed. Some very sIngu- lar features were encountered 10 this mine and 1t gives evidence of being 4 very valuable propSrty.
 In the OlIve. which IS now being work ed by its oEnefE, Messrs. Allison G Brown. with Mir. J. B. Scott ss superiu- tendent, m ar shaft has been sunk and Is now 8 feet derp. drift is be- iug run to connect with it, and ID a few days the connection will give the mine good ventilation and the present force
 fsIx men will be augmented and the extraction of ore resumed. The ere body still holds out with a more uni form and permanent body and lhe grade grows higher with increasing depth. The mIne is one ot the best paying properties m southern Arizona and has alre ,dy yield d a snug fortune with but one hun- d e feet of shaft sunk and about fifty feet of drifts run.
 Dick Adams and Wm. Kinckey have out about fifteen tons ot fine ore and will make a shipment Of carload in & few days.
 Messrs. Max Werner and Green Rusk are taking out Ome splendid ore from theIr Speculation mine, and are prepsr- ing to make n shipment. The grade Is very high.
 The Anne mine is beng opened at several points by parties who have takeu leases, and good ore IS found ID many places. In a new shaft, Messrs. Vivian q Turner have discovered four-inch seam of ore that assays from $40 10 S6JO Others are also taking out equally good ore, but ID small quantities.
 Messrs. Neville and Fries have made another small shipment from one Of their claims, and they have excellent prospects of developing a good mine.
 All the miners are doing well and feel very much encouraged at the outlook. They make occasional shipments and Bs 6 rule the returns are very satisfactory.

Facts About Reservations.

The Globe Silver Belt calls attention to a matter ip connection wI.h Indian affairs that needs thorough investiga- tion and agitation, VIZ, the large dimeD sicns of our Indian reservations and the advisability Of redu ing them to reasonable size, proportionate to the number of IndIans occupying them. reference to the report Of the Com missioner of Indian Affairs, for the year 1883. reveals the fact that there are ID Arizona eleven reservations having an area (estimating three fifths of the Nav aio reservation ss lyIng n this Terri tory) of 10 SIS S2l acres, and the number of Indians. Ineludiug twelve tbouss0d NaypiIs (three.fifths of the estimated uumber of the entire tribe) is 3S,elS. According to the Belt. the most nota ble instance of a reservation beng far la-ger than the requirements IS the White Mouutaip or, as more familiar kuo~n, the San Carlos reservation, the area of which is 2 52S,000 acres. By the removal of the hostile tribes there re- main on the reservation. Rt San Carlos, Ss6 men. 945 women, 6l7 boys, GAO girls in all, BOSS; and at Apache, 1.l69; total on the whole reservation, 4,55I. lL
 buck, squaE and papOose-has almost 600 acres to roam over. Much of the land emnrac,d in reservations m ArI- zons is sterile and worthless to the In dians, but the SRu Carlos reservation IS a marked exception. Some Of the hoest agricultural, grazing and mineral lands 10 the whole Territory are embraced within its boundaries, and were the In iians inc ined to agricultural and past oral pursuits 8 few thousand acres along the GilR and San Carlos river-, or Iu the northern part oi the re-erva- ton about Cibicu, would be sufficient, with the assistance received from the government, to support them m con- fort and even allow them to amass con- siderable wealth m stock. The min- eral lands on the reservation gre known 10 be both extensive and rich, and large deposits of coal have also heen discov- cred ID several places. Were half Of this rich section thrown open to settle ment and its latent wealth developed, thousands Of desirable settlers would be attracted and at least a million dollars soon added to the tangible wealth or Tbe Territory, The press of Arizona should continually RgItRte the cOrtsll- mept of these vast tracts of land which are now useless alike to the Indians and whites. Our delegate should lose DO opportunity of forcing the qutstion upon the attention of the authorities at Washington, until they Hre brought to comprehend the immense benefit that would accrue to Arizona from cou- traction of some of our re"ervations, especially the San Carlos. and that tue Indians need not suffer ID the leas; by such action.

Serious Danger

Threatens every man, woman or child

CONSIDERABLE speculation was re- gently indulged in by the press and even m military circles regarding the alleged disobedieuce Of orders by Gen Miles ID removing Geronimo and his band from Arizona after orders had been received to hold them in the near est gusrdhouse, and talks of & probable cOurtmRrtisl were not of infrequent oc- currence. The facts as shown by the records at headquarters. are that Gen. Niles directed Capt. LsEton to take charge of the hostiles and proceed with them to Florida in obedience to tele- graphic instructions from the secretary of war, dated at Washington, September 4th. Four days later General Sheridan teleRrsphed General Howard at San Francisco to direct General Miles not to remove the surrendered Indians. but to hold them at Fort Bowie. This order was received by General Miles at Fl Paso, after the hostiles had left that place by order of the secretary of war. The friction between the suthori- ty assumed by the Lieutensnt-General and the secretary of war IS the cause of any apparent disobedience of orders, for which General Miles IS blameless.

TEE republicans of Pima county were particularly fortunate in their selection uf candidate for sheriff. Mir. Lewis Fl. Gormley possesses every quslifcs. tion for the position, and be enjoys 6 private character that IS beyond th, least shadow of reproach. He was born and reared at Newcastle, Pennsylvania, and for thirteen years before coming 10 Arizona he was su operator and pro ducer in the oil industry Of that region. He came to Arizona in 1880 and for the three following years he gave his per sonal attention to mining. and still re- tains mining interests that are very promising. Since 1883 he has been en- gagged in the cattle business as 8 CO., owner of the Pennsylvania ranch, at Crittenden. His whole interests are ID Pima county and be has made thIs his permanent place of residence. Win characteristic energy aud business ss- Oacity be has lad the foundation for 6 successful fdture upon Q solid bs-is. The same abilities governing hIs private sf- fairs are those ehiehy required in the transaction of pubic business, and the people may rest assured that his care tul attentions to the affairs of the office of sheriff of Pima county will redound to their benefit, Mir. Gormley is now before the people for their inspection. and the most rigid scrutiny into his capabilities is invited. The better be is known the more certain is his elec- tion, for the people regard the quslii cations of tbe man fer more than .his politics in local affsirs.

TIE democrats do not like the repub-

THE democrats do not like the repub- ticsn nominations, but when one con siders that they were not made to please the democrats this is not to be wonder ed at. The fact is beyond dispute that the republican county and territorial tickets command the respect of all good citizeus and many disgusted democrat will slyly vote for our candidates upon personal grounds. Those who are sc- qusinted with the personnel of both tickets readily recognize the superior qualifications and character of the re publican nominees, and the voters now sdsys are independent enough to exer else the right o; voting for just whom they please.
