The Gila Monster.

DR.. III. G. Yarrow, of the Smithsonian
Institute, after various experiments with
the Gila Monster, has finally decided that
it is non-poisonousr reptile. The expert
ments reaching to this conclusion were
made on rabbits and chickens, which in
each instance were severely bitten, but
beyond a slight lameness no evil results
followed. In one fowl copious hypoder-
mic injections Of the saliva in glycerine
produced death, but this result the ex-
perimentor attributes to the giycerine,
and not to the saliva of the heloderma
The case of Yeagar, vino IL supposod~ 10
have died at Fairbanks, in Southern Ari-
zona, from the bite of Monster, is cited,
as is also that OF several others. But the
doctor evidently thinks the death of these
men is but another proof Of the killing
qualities of Arizona whisky. Other au-
thorities are cited, notably Drs. Mitchell
and Reichert, whose experiments with
the reptile proved fatal in every instance /;
and also those OF Sir John Lubbock,
whose experiments also produced like
result. But as rule mans own expert
ments are, at least with himself, the
most convincing; hence the Doctors con-
clusions.

Accident On the A. A II.

On Sunday last near Siberia, Cal, on
the A. & r., Railroad, the east-bound
passenger was ditched, the mail, baggage,
tourists and Pullman cars all going down
an embankment twenty-five feet high
and badly wreeking the baggage and mail
cars. The locomotive remained on the
track. The passengers escaped without
any serious injuries, although nearly every
one was scratched, bruised or cut The
passengers were delayed several hours
and were finally taken to Needles in the
special train OF Superintendent Gaddis,
who was running east. At the Needles
coaches were provided. At the time Of
the accident the train was only running at
the rate Of eight miles per hour, the con-
dition Of the track not permitting greater
speed. II was one OF those accidents that
sometimes occur and could not be pre-
vented by the train men. 1t was certainly
a lucky one, as no one was seriously
injured. Owing to the accident no mail
was received from the west Monday,
and large portion of it due that day did
not reach here until Thursday morning.

MINING NOTES.

There is lot Of ore from the Sunlight
mine on the ore platform, which will be
shipped to Pueblo, Colorado.
Messrs. Morrissey & Winston have
given up their lease on the Oro Plata.
The ore is of too low grade for profitable
working.
The ore streak in the raise in the Night
Hawk is improving and every miner who
looks at il is satisfied that it is very
rich body of silver ore.
John K. Mackenzie has started the
pumps on the Cupel and will clear the
lower levels OF water. Fourteen men are
now at work on the mine and ore ship
ments will soon be resumed. The outlook
or Stockton Hill was never better.
Judge J. NJ. Murphy and his force oi
workmen returned from the McCracken
mine on Saturday last. The mine opened
ont better than was expected and sam
Piles taken from the mine assayed as high
as 300 ounces, and the McCracken is
known as low grade property.
Mr.. X. G. Battle, an old California
miner, arrived here this week and will
leave for the Golden Gate mine to-day.
Mr.. Battle will do some prospecting on
the mine for the purpose of finding the
ore in place, and it is hoped that he may
be successful.

Water Storage.

The last annual report Of Surveyor
Go..ofai- sJ"i.,. Aii.e,-.si e--Asi~oira, l.iesI
July 23d, 1888, embodies the following
recommendations relative to the con-
struction OF storage reservoirs for irrigat-
ing purposes:
''The annual rainfall in Arizona is
more than sufficient to irrigate all avail
able lands for agricultural purposes, il
means can be devised to husband the
water and utilize the same when required
at the period when most needed during
the dry and hot summer months.
"The facilities offered in our mountains
and foothills for the construction of large
reservoirs is all that could be desired and
whilst somewhat expensive to construct
suitable dams to resist the torrents OF
water that frequently rush down innum-
cradle canyons, yet there are many places
where large bodies of water can be stored
without large expenditure Of money
'"fhis storage OF water is no longer an
experiment in Arizona. At Walnut
Grove, in Yavapai county, dam about
100 feet in height has been erected, and a
large body Of water Ia now held in reserve
and will be used for placer mining and
agricultural purposes. Nearly half mil
lion Of money has been expended in it's
construction, which is OF the most durable
character, and has SO far met the full ex-
pectations Of it's designers.
"The Government should put out every
inducement possible for the construction
OF these reservoirs, as thousands of acres
of the public domain now worthless could
be utilized and in many places largely
supersede the expensive system OF irriga-
ton now in use. Parties willing to con-
struct these reservoirs should be literally
dealt with respecting the lands needed
for their use, as many acres will neces-
sarily have to be inundated by overflow,
which will be entirely useless for agricul-
tural purposes. The right OF occupancy
for the construction and use OF reservoirs
should be literally and freely granted and
laws should re enacted giving every
encouragement consistent with public
policy"

A Mad Mistake.

Under head OF Arrested for Rape
the Flagstaff Champion makes the follow.
ing statement Of the unfortunate affair
which happened at Peach Springs last
week
".At Peach Springs ON Monday after.
noon one Cunningham, freight conduc.
tor on the Atlantic & Pacific, was arres1Ie
upon ths charge OF having raped the
z-year-old daughter Of Frank Dodge,
section boss at that place. He was jailed
and next morning an attempt TO lynch
him was frustrated. All preparations
had been made 10 hang him to q tele-
graph pole. He was then taken TO prison
at Kingman. This is reported to be
Cunningham's third offense OF the kind.
II is noticed that the San Francisco and
other papers having accounts Of this have
the names reversed, and just contrary to
the facts. Cunningham has no family,
while Mr.. Dodge has wife and several
children living with him at Peach
Springs"
The true statement is exactly the re-
verse. Frank Dodge is the culprit and
the daughter Of Conductor Cunningham,
the victim. How Bro. Tinker could make
such a statement in the face OF the news
paper reports Of the affair, in justice TO
Mr.. Cunningham needs an explanation,
which 1t IL hoped he will make in his
next issue.

ALASKA.

Many readers Of the Prospector will re-
member III. 8. Ford, who spent nearly
seven years in and around Tombstone.
He is at present In Alaska, although his
family still reside In this city. A reporter
was through the kindness Of Mrs. Ford
allowed 10 read letter recently received
by her from juneau, Alaska Territory.
Mr.. Ford writes:
II arrived at this place yesterday
and tomorrow leave for the Yukon
River with party Of six men. II took
us twelve days to make the trip from San
Francisco to this place, the fare being $40
from the city to juneau. From here we
20 to Chilcat, ia miles distant. This
We make in little boat, then up over
the mountains a distance Of 25 miles.
We walk over this ground and will have
TO pay the Indians fi5 per hundred to
pack our supplies. Here we are at the
head OF Lake Iinderman. We win make
raft and 20 down the lake ten o. twelve
miles. Here We make portage and
build another and smaller raft. Then
we have about 900 miles TO work down
the River to Stewart. There is but one
bad place to go over, called the White
Horse, so called for the reason that il is
foaming white and one has 10 shoot
through the RAPIDS like lightning.
News has just been received here that
the Indians have bad fight near here
among themselves and one chief killed.
There may be trouble with them. as the
whites are selling them whisky and i'm.
proved srDs. There is law against
the taking of whisky into this Territory
but there are six saloons here and they
sell whisky just as openly as they would
in Tombstone. II had time I would
send sample Of it to the Secretary oi
the Interior.
This place is the poorest spot q white
man ever set foot in. There are over 20I
men out Of employment and they have
no moncy.

party with which | am going into the
interior, because ! have little money
and the balance of the party are fiat

1t rains here every day. aud I have
just looked at my watch and find il is

HEADQUARTERS 4
DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE,
SoLoM0NyILLE, Aug. 9th, 1888.
The Democrats OF the Territory of Ari-
zona are requested to hold convention
in their respective counties of delegates
elected at primary election, to be held
in the different precincts therein, under
the direction Of their County Central
Committees, for the purpose Of selecting
delegates to the Territorial Democratic
Convention, TO be held in Tucson on the
Sd day Of September, 1888, which conven-
ton will nominate candidate OF the
Democratic party to represent the Terri
tory in the Congress OF the United States,
and transact such other business as it
may deem proper.
The appointment Of delegates to said
Territorial Convention from the several
counties is as follows, viz: Apache, g.;
Cochise, 12; Gila, 8; Graham, 8; Mari
copa, 8; Mohave, 2; Pinal, 4; Pima, s +;
Yavapai II; Yuma, 3. Total, "a.
In view Of the fact that a bill is now
pending whereby, if IL becomes law, it
will be imperative upon the President to
appoint citizens of the Territories to fill
federal Offices therein, it might therefore
be judicious for the Democratic Territorial
Convention to express its preference for
the persons to fill these Offices; especially
as it is not probable that full represen-
tation of the Democratic party will as
sernble again within the next two years.
