The Washing Problem Solved.

The chief argument used by the ladies against the removal of the Chinamen is the difficulty of getting washing done. The force of this argument has been re- moved by a modern invention-the Git tie Joker" washing machine. This ma. chine is light, simple, cheap and durable. A child, or a weakly woman, can work it. It saves more than two-thirds of the time and three-fourths of the labor. It washes clean and saves wear of clothes. Call and inspect it. Mrs. Grant, agent.

The above well known prop erty is for sale or lease on most reasonable terms, or will be let by the month to responsible party. Owing to its favorable location at the corner of Toughnut and Fifth streets it offers unusual advantages as a boarding house for miners. The Russ House has always re- ceived a large patronage from the travelling public and citizens. To parties who desire to engage in the hotel restaurant and lodging house business, no better opportunity has ever been offered. For further particulars inquire at the store of H. J. Sadler.

Cochise county is now generally ad- mitted to be the best cattle county in the territory. As soon as the pumps get tc work steadily, she will again assume her former position, as the leading mining county.

With all this at her back and the county seat besides, Tomb, stones citizens may we'll bear the pres. ent rather dull times in a patient and philosophical manner.

Should the Arizona county courts be declared unconstitutional by the supreme court, as now seems probable, it would make all judgments, hitherto rendered by those courts, invalid, and thus work a very great hardship to innocent litigants, who have taken their suits to these courts in good faith. It would seem that a better plan would be, for the supreme court to hold the matter in abeyance and allow congress to take action, by simply abolishing the courts, which would not interfere with any legislation that has been decided by them up to date. Delegate Beanhas already introduced bull for that purpose.
