Mining in Casa Grande District.

MT. J. c. Conlee, superintendent of the Ella Mining Company, in the Casa Grande mining district, is in the city en route east to purchase a mill to be erected at or near the properties of this company which comprise the well-known Monarch group. It has not been definitely decided as to how many stapps will be put up to begin with but the number will range all the way from 20 to 60 MT. Conlee is of the opinion that the latter number will come nearer the requirements of the mill than the former.
 A mill is also to be erected at the Silver Reef property in the same dis trict by the company owning this group, and Mir. John c. Loss is now east for that purpose. It will be oi 20 stamp capacity.
 MT. w. c. Smith has a force of men at work on the Jack Rabbit mine and is taking out some remarkably fine ore The Jack Rabbit mine was always re- garded as good piece of property.
 MT. Kron is working on the Orizaba It continues to look well and is de veloping in good shape.
 A new body of ore has been strucl in the Vekol and the mill be started up on Monday next.
 Other properties throughout tht district are looking well and there i every evidence that this part of tn, country is going to come out in gooC shape.--Citizen.

It is not a sentiment of sympathy or personal friendship that should ac- tuate the voters in determining their choice of candidates for the office of Probate Judge of Pinal county, but one of principle. The unrefuted charges still stand as an indictment of his official capacity and the jury of the public must decide whether or not the present incumbent is safe per son to be again clothed with the power to repeat such infamous wrongs as he has been guilty of. Can any person, knowing the uncertaiatS> oi human life, risk the manipulahCn. oI the little estate intended for the desti- cute widow and helpless orphans, in hands capable of such prostitution oi authority? Every honorable man will champion the cause of these afflicted ones when oppressed by injustice, and we cannot believe the honorable vot- CTS of Pinal county will aid and abet such disreputable acts by retaining ir power one whose record no honest man can defend. The voters should weigh carefully and impartially the truths we present in our arraignment of Judge Ruggles and then act upon the conscientious judgment arrived at without fear or favor.

The Government Engraving Bureau.

The girls were from every part of the country, but chiefly from the district sur rounding Washington Most of them are poor; some of them have had the advan- tages of wealth and social position, but have been overtaken by misfortune and compelled to earn their own living. Many of them are studious and work hard to educate themselves. I am told that several of them are excellent musicians, while others are proficient in elocution There are also several artists, and one who is fine botanist.
 But are they never tempted to take some of the millions of money that they handler 1 hear some one speak.
 "We look upon it only as so much paper" said one of the girls to whom I had put the same question in a different form. 'It becomes of value to us only when we receive 1t in payment for our work. We never think of it here as money"
 Even if they did look upon it as money, and were tempted to fill their pockets with 1t, they could not get out of the building with it. So perfect is the system of checks and balances in the bureau of engraving and printing that a piece of blank paper, such as is used to print securities on, could not be taken without being missed inside of ten minutes, and if it were not found no one in the division where it was lost would be allowed to pass out of the building until it was dis. covered and made safe again. Of course, where such vigilance is exercised there is no temptation to steal. al.-Washington Cor. Chicago Herald.

The Right to Naturalization.

Two decisions have lately been rem dered upon application for naturaliz- ation which are likely to attract atten- tion. One of these decisions was rem dered by Judge Daniels, of the New York Supreme Court. Upon close examination of an applicant for nat uralization before him, and the usual that the applicant was in the habit of becoming intoxicated at no great re- curing intervals of time, and while in that condition, of abusing his wife and family, and that he had on several oc- casions been arrested and punished therefor. Judge Daniels refused the application for naturalization on the ground that the applicant was not proved to have behaved as a man oi good moral character, well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States, as required by the the United States Revised Statutes He said:
 "This privilege of citizenship ha: been, provided as reward for goot behavior and demonstrated attach ment to the principles of free govern ment. The design of the law is, il great part, certainly to induce and SC cure the cooperation of all persons re siding in the United States in support ing the laws and Constitution of tht country. But this fidelity to its inter ests and progress Is not to be ex pected from, and will not be supplied by disorderly and dissipated persons Reliance cannot be placed upon then for the support of the principles o free government or the enforcement of good order or the laws enacted to SC cure and promote it. They cannot therefore, be held to be persons wh, have behaved themselves as persons c good moral character, and withou that they are not permitted by tn statutes to become citizens of tn United States"
 In another case, which came up il the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, the applicant, a Hungarian when asked to take the oath of ale glance declared that he did not believ in a deity of any kind, and that h neither swore or affirmed. His appli cation was refused. Both these decis ions seem to manifest a tendency ol the part of the courts to scrutiniz more closely the qualifications of fol eigners for naturalization. - Brac streets.

TIE fact that the national adminis- tration is endorsed or condemned by either or both political conventions of the territory of Arizona is matter of little concern to the president, and he has likely forgotten it if it was ever brought to his attention. The good or ill will of the people of a Territorial appendage to the nation is a circum- stance entirely too insignificant for his consideration and the importance attached by the opposition press to the action of the late democratic con vention in withholding its endorsement is purely imaginary.

The Black Walnut.

Every land owner should plant the black walnut. It is the most valu- able of trees. No tree can nearly ap- proach it in yearly future value. Prof. Brown, of Ontario, estimates from an experience of his own that an acre planted with this tree may in fifty years produce value of$18, ,350 Prof. Beal, from his experience thought this estimate too low. Think of a mean annual income of $322 from an acre of trees, the trees and planting of which could be done for less than $50. At least every waste place, especially if the soil is rich, should be planted with the black walnut. It is a sturdy, handsome, vigorous tree, easily grown, because no animal and only one in- sect feeds on it. The white walnut or butternut is also good thing to plant. The black walnut has a transcendant value but little known, which is that the fine European walnut Qnglans regia) grows finely on it, either stock or top grafted The hardier variaties of this finest of nuts from the north of Europe should succeed top grafted on this hardy stock in all the middle and southern states. The writer of this has sent thousands of black wal nut seedlings to California for this purpose. Horticulture has yet hun | dreds of profitable paths untrodden.- American Garden.

THE greatest difficulty to be over come in the successful maintenance of storage reservoirs for irrigating waters, in southern Arizona, is the deposition of the very large quantity of earthly matter brought down from the broad watersheds during the rainy season. The temporary placidity of the i'm pounded waters gives them an oppor- tunity to deposit this sediment just where its rapid accumulation is the least desired, and in the construction of such reservoirs measures must be provided to dispose of the sedimentary deposit that might otherwise soon fill the reservoirs to the exclusion of the water. To those not acquainted with the subject the great amount of or ganic matter thus held in suspension by the waters in times of flood, is sim ply prodigious. An eminent engineer, after a careful investigation, esti- mates that the Missouri river dis charges ITO cubic feet per second of earthly solids into the Mississippi river in ordinary stages. In times of flood the sediment has reached the enorm- ous amount of four million cubic yards in one day. This would make a bank twenty-three miles long and one hum dred yards wide, or one thousand miles of such levee in single yearl The Gila river does not possess such pro- portions as the Missouri, but in times of flood it carries a far greater per centage of solids and it's volume is sufficiently large to dignify it with the appellation of river The difficulties to be encountered in the storage oi water are therefore greater than those usually met with and the utmost skill and ingenuity will be required to sur mount them. The only practical SO lution of the irrigation question in thi, portion of Arizona lies in the storage of the water and, in spite of all natura obstacles necessary to be overcome such important enterprises will b' triumphantly accomplished and vii rank amongst the most profitable in vestments of modern times.

k Medicine Dog Feast.

In company with friend I visited an encampment of Indians at the Pipestone quarries, Minnesota, and witnessed one of the national feasts of the Sioux. The Indians belonged to the Yankton tribe, and numbered about sixteen lodges, or eighty people, Including in their number bucks, squaws, papooses, boys, girls. old and feeble warriors, not counting the large number of dogs. To many the h. dian cur would appear worthless piece of property, but at the feast in question the most gaunt and hungry looking dog of all played an important part A trench about three feet in length and one foot in depth had been dug and into this the lean old dog was placed and covered over with sticks, on which dirt was piled, leaving the head only protrude. Two days was he confined in this artificial oven. At the expiration of the two days the master of ceremonies, or medicine man, pronounced all mystical rites prop erly observed and that it was time tc carry out the completing act This was done by removing the dirt and piling on more sticks, covering the animal com. pletely. Fire is now applied to this heaI of brushwood and the once respectable cur made roast dog.
 Upon our arrival the roasting had just been finished and the whole camp were crowding around the smoldering embers to get portion of the much prized Medicine dog." which. when eaten, i: supposed to prolong life and to instill into the ordinary savage the qualifications fol warrior. While we were not altogether welcome guests, courtesy seemed to forbid the savage from ignoring us, which many would have preferred to the dainty piece of roast dog, offered first to me and theI my friend.
 The medicine dog feast seems to be o both medical and religious character, al ancient custom to which the Indian cling with tenacity.-C. J. Cranden in Detroi Free Press.
