More Work at Como.

Mr.. J. E. Condict, Of the Buckeye mine.
al Come, visited his property on Wednesday
last in company with H. w. Ely the Super.
intendent, and was so highly pleased with
the developments which nave been made
since he was last here (about FIVE years ago)
that he has given Mr.. Ely orders to put on
all the men he can work to advantage, and
continue his explorations. The FIRST work to
be done is the extension Of the main drift
short distance and making crosscut in the
ledge, during which about six men will be
employed. A survey will then be made to
ascertain the correct position Of the workings
when an air shaft will be sunk. When com.
plete air connections are made more men will
be employed and the work prosecuted with
all the energy possible. There are now three
different points from which good milling ore
can be extracted, but it is not thought advs.
able to do so until good ventilation is secur
ed. The ledge at these points is 3. 6, and 10
feet in width respectively, and very little if
any sorting will have to be done in order to
bring it up to a paying grade. The crop.
pings of the Buckeye are the finest to be
found in the Como district and all indie ations
are favorable for it becoming big mine when
once properly explored and opened.

Capt. H. A. Read, of the St. Patrick mine on the east slope of the Pajarita range, 12 miles northwest of Nogales, Arizona, was a guest at the Grand Central yesterday. He is on his way to New York City (his home). The mine is in charge of Capt. Middlemass formerly superintendent of the Con- solidated Arizona, Gro Blanco district. The captain on the 16th of Auguat last purchased this property for $20- GOO. During the time that has expir- ed since the day of purchase he has marketed sufficient ore to pay expen- ses and one-half the purchase money. The ore afforded by the St. Patrick is chloride of silver in quartz matrix and runs in value from $100 to $6000 per ton. The average of the ore ship ped amounts to 450 ounces silver, and some of the ore affords 10 per cent lead. Capt. Read is also identified with very promising copper mine. The ore body upon this property is ' feet in width and furnishes carbonate of copper that possesses 34 per cent copper and IS ounces in silver The company are meditating the erec- ton of copper plant.-El Paso Bull lion.

Railroad Situation.

Thos. s. Bullock, president of the Prescott and Arizona Central railway, which leaves the Atlantic < Pacific railroad at Prescott Junction, and ends here, arrived from the east Saturday last We have had talk with him. He has been in Europe nearly all sum- mer, endeayoring to induce capitalists to aid him in pushing his road through our mines to Phenix Sue cess has not crowned his efforts. He does not feel that he can extend the road by the route fixed in the subsidy bill Says there are about 30 miles of said route over which he could not build standard gauge road for less than $30,000 mile. His idea is, at present, to run his road south by way of Wickenburg or the Agua Fria, and from it send out 20-inch track roads to the principal mining districts of the mountains. Nothing will, however, be done until next spring.
 He will start in few days for Mexico, where company in which he is interested is constructing $50 miles of railroad. He says the Mexi- can government gives the company $14,OO0 per mile, in government

Startling Discovery.

The discovery by the inhabitants of a locality hitherto unvisited by the pestilent scourge of fever and ague, that it exists in their very midst, is decidedly startling Such discoveries are made at every season, ID every part of the Union. Subsequently, when it is ascertained, as it invariably is at such times, through the valuable experience of some one who has been benefited and cured. that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Is a thoroughly efica- cious eradicator of the malarial poison, and a means of fortifying the system against it, feeling of more security and tranquility reigns throughout the whole neighorhood. Besides the feb rile forms of malarial disease, dumb ague and ague cake are removed by the potent action of the Bitters, to which science also gives its sanction as a remedy for rheumatism, dyspepsia constipation, liver complaint, debility kidney troubles, and all diseases i'm. pairing the organs of digestion and assimilation.

Conclusive Evidence.

Ats o'clock this morning Justice Woods called the case of Nabor Esca- lante and Angel de Mara, charged with being parties to the murder of Gribble, Doolittle and Johnson-this being the fifth day of their prelimi- nary examination. A startling devel- opment was made The only wit nesses examined were Harvey Howe and Sheriff Halbert. The sheriff's testimony was only corroborative To show the full effects of the evidence of Howe, the reporter will state that when the two Mexicans were arrested in Cochise county, they made a great endeavor and also an effort to throw away a watch that was in their posses sion. This watch was to-day indenti- fled by Harvey Howe, who stated that he was "a sworn partner of Johnson" ," who was assassinated with Gribble, as his property, and to make the evidence particularly binding he called attention to certain marks within the works, and upon opening the same his testi- mony was verified. No further wit nesses being present the examination was continued until o-morrow.-Ari- Zonan

TIE Chinese bill that was introduc- ed in the House of Representatives by direction of the President, for political effect, has surprised the originators of the scheme by passing both houses of Congress and it is now before the President awaiting his signature. As it is well known that the provisions of the bill are not in accord with the Presidents views on the Chinese ques- ton, there is great curiosity to know just what action he will take in the premises. If he vetoes the bill he will lose all hope of carrying any Pacific coast state, and if he approves it he will stultify his expressed opinions on this subject and lose respect in the cast. The bill was introduced at his own suggestion, but it grew too big for its masters and finally mastered them.

4 Big Find of Texas Skeletons.
 Austin Herald.

Seventy-ive miles northwest of Fl Paso toward Deming, in New Mexico, lies a small range called the Good Sight mountains. The cattle of the Carpenter-Stanley Company make them a grazing-ground and an occa- sional cowboy traverses them. The mountains are full of mineral, but neither prospector nor cowboy likes to go near them, for the place has be- come notorious on account of the number of mysterious skeletons that are found there. Last week three were again found, the first near the Bunch spring, under heap of stone, from which the head and feet pro- truded. Remains of clothing and a camp outfit were scattered around. The back of the skull was crushed in. The other two skeletons were found but mile off, with no traces of cloth ing remaining. The locality is re- mote from travelled roads and has al- ways been dreaded. It Is place of refuge for hostile Indians and outlaws, and the remains are probably those of prospectors who where killed during the last raid, about three or four years ago.

WHEN man gives his whole time and attention to his business pursuits and fails to acguaint himself with his nNighbors' affairs, he is regarded by a certain element as an unsocial and selfish misanthrope. If he neglects his own duties and spends his time in idle gossip and in loafng about the saloons, another class condemns him as an improvident fellow who will come to some bad end. In the wide range between these two extremes there Is no neutral mean that commands uni versal homage, and if we gauge our estimation of our fellow men by the outward semblance of our ideal oi a good fellow" we make as grave an error as though the strutting peacock was introduced at our Thanksgiving banquet as a standard of epicGrean taste because of its pleasing plumaSe The only reliable index to a mans true character is that revealed by his daily actions with his fellows, where all the selfshness oi his nature is ac- lively striving to secure some adyant- age over others. It is here you will find the correct measure of the man that all his smiling suavity on the ex- terior cannot hide, and it is here that the closest scrutiny should be given. It is q proper guide even in selecting candidates for your political favors, for a good, honest and attentive man in his own business affairs will extend the same care and fidelity to his off cial duties. It is amusing to hear the expression of candidate, "he don't get around among the boys enough, as though the ability to buy liquor fol a bar-rcom crowd is a qualification fol the duties of the office he seeks

AT an impromptu political meet ing held in Pinal last week the several candidates present were called upon to talk to the "boys" and they com piled very gracefully. Sheriff Fryer was present and, although he makes no pretentions to oratory, it is said he made capital speech-full of good sense and practical ideas. Jere is constantly gaining ground among the people and will easily carry away the honors upon the day of election.

THE people of Pinal county who wish to see the very important affairs of the Probate Court faithfully and in telligently administered will give their jealous support to Judge W. H. Ben son, whose long services in the office the Silver King mining company are guaranty of his fidelity to his trusts. The Judge is a clear-headed and schol- arly gentleman; his personal life and habits are above criticism and his abil- fly is unqpestioned. He will surely be elected and he will prove to be a model official.

His Good Luck Ri led Him.

Tom Roberts, who died at the Coun- ty Hospital last Sunday, is said to have been the victim of what at first seemed a streak of good luck. He won $l5,000 in the Havana lottery. Before making the winning he was a sober, steady-going mineA. When lie made his winning he had, of course to treat the boys, and he kept on treat ing till his money was gone and he had thoroughly fixed upon himself the drinking habit. He fell into state of general debility or decline that ended his days. But for the lottery winning (which he and his friends at the time thought piece af good fortune), Tom would doubtless to-day still live and be rugged, jolly miner.

As AN evidence of the efficiency dis played in the collection of poll taxes in the several counties, the following comparative statement will be inter esting; Maricopa county comes first with $3039; Pima county second, with $272S; Yavapai third, with $2505; Pi- nal fourth, with $1434; Graham fifth, with $l306; Apache sixth, with $1099 :; Cochise seventh, with $1084; Mohave eighth, with $747; Gila ninth, with S702, and Yuma tenth, with S3l5. Pi- nal county stands fourth in order oi the amounts collected, although it contains less inhabitants than several counties that returned smaller collec- tions. The statement shows the com parative efficiency of the tax collect ors of the several counties and, in ratio to population, Pinal county stands al the head of the list.

THE climatic changes produced in Egypt by the influences of the Suez canal are somewhat startling to stu dent of meteorology, and they point significantly to the possibilities of q wonderful alteration of the climate of the arid regions of the west, and par ticularly that of Arizona, when the construction of storage reservoirs shall give abundant water to supply vast systems of canals that will ranifv the rich valleys and broad plains.
 A recent visitor 10 that historical land reports that rains are now falling at Cairo and along the delta of the Nile where they were before almost unheard of. In Cairo from Novem- Der to March there Is almost one con- tinual downpour and until 1878 rain was unknown in that city. The at mosphere Is charged with moisture and even "the mummies, so long pre- served in their dry cerements, are now liable to perish from the presence of moisture before unknown, which percolates through their rocky cover ing" This radical change Is attribut- ed solely to the influence exerted by | the Suez canal, and the opinion i; thereby strengthened that the building of extensive irrigAting canals through
 out broad section of arid country
 will produce q like climatic change sl
 that eventually, when perpetual yer dure shall replace the barren glare 0 the burning desert, the necessity fo
 artificial irrigation will cease.
