JERE FRYER, Sheriff.
News From Arizona.

A gentleman just returned from Arizona and New Mexico slEs that a good many mines are being actively worked in the Casa Grande GA. T.) mining district and others being open ed up.
 Among the active working mines are the Vekol, owned by MT. Walker, who is the Grandee of the desert there This mine has been steady producer for six years, and has large stamp mill there running day and night. The Queen of Sheba and Gibraltar, adjoining the Vekol, are showing up very fine in all the tunnels and drifts, also the Great Eastern, Monarch, Ori zaba, Wall Street and others. The Wall Street is owned by Mr Walker. It has a very large quartz ledge be- tween lime and porphyry. It is de veloped by several shafts and tunnels, and the owner contemplates putting up large stamp mill on the Wall Street to work the quartzite ores. Other mines on the same lead make a fine showing, but are not well devel- oped. The lead has been traced for a couple of miles with mines opened up and working all along.
 The Bitterwell range of mountains on which the Vekol, Queen of Sheba Gibralta the Great Eastern and other rich mines are located, is said to be mineralized throughout.
 One remarkable thing when you ap- proach the foothills of the mountains in Arizona are the giant cactuses, also called the sentinels of the desert These cactuses grow straight to a height of twenty, and sometimes thirty and forty feet. About this time of the year they have white blossom on the top, which ripens into what the Indians call a very delicious fruit. The juice flowing out of the catus when cut is useful to Quench thirst, and many weary traveller of the des- ert has saved his life by the water of the cautus. In the valleys of the Casa Grande district there are several In dian villages. The Indians also dis till kind of liquor out of this cactus, and they cut the tree down sometimes | to use the small timbers inside the cactus for erecting their huts. They SOW wheat in the fall of the year just before the rainy season sets in and reap in June. At Phenix, A. T., where they have perfect system of irriga- tion, there are very good crops of wheat, barly and alfalfa. Some farmers claim to raise four to five crops of alfalfa and our informant says he saw ripe apricots and figs in Phenix, also figs ripening on the trees in the orchards there. -n

Self Massage for pxspepsia.

This treatment requires much perse- verance and practice, otherwise 1t may to some extent prove failure; but re- newed vigor will always be in propor- tion to the practice Be not discouraged. First thing in the morning and last thing at night rub the abdomen down the left side and up the right in round circle, also rub down the breast; now pace across the room once or twice, and then snap the lower limbs, like whip lash, for exercise. Now twist the lower limbs, first on one side, then on the other, and rock up on the toes. Now for the lungs and abdomen; first, take in a hak breath, then exhale all the air possible, then fill the lungs to their full eapacisy, walk across the room and back, at the same time throwing the arms back. Now in a half breath send out every particle of air till you see the abdomen working like bellows, and you will soon become deep breather. For more extended practice in deep breathing the morning before rising is a good time, provided there is full ventilation and that the air inside is as pure and fresh as that on the outside. Before a good fire wash the hands and face, wet the back of the neck, arms and lower limbs slightly, and rub down with coarse towel. This is sufficient for beginner, but entirely inadequate for the
 old, chronic dyspeptic.-J. N. Semple in
 Herald of Health.

A New Illuminaut.

''Portable sunlight" is the name given to new illuminant, of which public test has just been made in Glasgow by Luther & Rose, the patentees. It is ob- tained by the evaporation of creosote, tar or other hydrocarbon oils, and it pro 6uces an intense white flame up to 5000 candle power, at a cost of about two cents per hour per 1000 candles. The apparatus consists of steel cylinder for the oil, tested up to pressure of 200 pounds to the square inch, surrounded by cast iron jacket to prevent eondensa- tion, and the vapor is raised by the slow combustion of a coke fire placed under meath. From the cylinder the vapor is carried through tube to the combustion box on the top, into which air is intro duced in the proportion necessary for proper combustion, with the result that @ dazzling light is produced.-Publio Opinion.

THE GOLDEN EGG.
A Big Bonanza in Gold about to Under go Development, below Casa
 Grande.

This Is the name of a mine that, from present indications, will soon prove to be one of the largest low-grade gold mines in the Territory and, from its location and good facilities for working, will undoubtedly prove g good investment. This claim was recently purchased by John C. Loss, of Casa Grande, and while he believed that the ledge was only 12 feet wide at the time of his purchase, he, in com pany with Mir Porter, of St. Louis, in making an examination of the claim, found a second lode running parallel with the other ledge, over 30 feet in width, and about 20 feet further up the hill. MT. Porter took some of the ore and washed it at Casa Grande and found number of fine colors of coarse gold. Mir. Loss has made several as- says since and the results were very satisfactory, running from $S to $780 in gold, per ton.
 MT. Loss, upon getting these results, immediately put on force of men and will run in a tunnel some 130 feet where he expects to cut both lodges at a depth of 1S0 feet. He is working day and night shifts and thinks he will be in the ledge in about fifty days and, should the ore prove as good at the depth he will cut it as it is on the surface he will arrange to put up large mill at once. The mine is situated 9 miles south west from Casa Grande Rail Road station, and one mile east from the mines of the Central Silver Mining Company's camp.
 The Central Silver Company sent out an additional force of men this week, to build roads and clean the ground to put their machinery. A steam hoist is at Casa Grande and will be in full running order at the mine in few days.

The Novelist.

Alden's new weekly Magazine, which is devoted entirely to American fiction, is a remarkably attractive and popular enterprise. Every reader interested in high-class fiction should send to the publisher for a free specimen copy. The first completed story is Robert TimsoPs, A Pessimist, an uncommonly bright, readable story, making about 200 pages, which is sold in paper for 15 cents, or in cloth, 36 cents, post paid. It would not be easy to name novel in which the conversation has so much wit, humor and clever badinage, sustained throughout with such un- Tagging vivacity. There is not sin gle dull page in the book. Moreover, 1t has-what was so much desiderated be Charles Darwin-a good ending The hero is thoroughly cured of his pessimism. John B.

SOME of the people of Phenix have taken the initiatory steps in the form ation of reform club, whose object is to urge upon the polii ieal parties of that city, county and the Territory "the necessity of making nominations of men of pure morals and clean rec ord, as candidates for party support" in order to secure purity in office holders and thereby better govern ment. The call for the meeting to fully perfect the organization recites as follows:
 "We have had it forced upon us that the open practice of vice upon our streets and in our community is de- tracting from property valuations, in- turing the reputation for morality of the community and thereby retarding the settlement of our own beautiful valley by many of the best class of settlers who, were these things differ ent, would be only too glad to build up homes among us for themselves and families"
 We applaud the motives of this her culean undertaking and wish it the most phenomenal success, but the experience of every movement of this character has been that cunning man. ipulators sooner or later gain control of its affairs to subserve their selfish purposes and however sincere tho eff fort for reform may be, they fail in accomplishing permanent good. Like all worthy objects designed to elevate the deplorable condition into which political affairs naturally retrograde we commend the action of the Phe- nix reformers, and sincerely hope they may introduce leaven of morality that will eventually eliminate all the evils of our political system.

THE mining interests of Pinal coun- ty are in fair way to assert promin- ence among its natural resources that they fully merit. New properties in every district that are in course of de- velopment, almost without exception show large quantities of ore of satis- factory grade, while some of them ex- hibit phenomenal richness, The out look in the districts south of Casa Grande is especially hopeful and gives promise ofspeedy revival of the min ing industry. Several new mill, are projected in that quarter and there are scores of properties that need only the magical influence of capital to bring them into productive condition. The Riverside mines are likewise creating considerable interest among mining men and several strong companies will soon commence operations upon the large gold mine of that district. The Owl Heads neighborhood is producing remarkably rich ores and its mines will soon demand reduction works upon a large scale. The rich mineral belt ex- tending from Mineral Creek to the Silver King, has long been known to be rich in the precious metals and the Reymert properties at De Noon, and the famous Silver King are daily de- monstrating the wealth this belt con tains. The future of this mineral section is very bright, as indeed is that of every other mining portion oi this county, and the production of the precious metals wilf form one of the greatest among our resources, second only to the vast agricultural interests

THERE is no portion of the United States where all the comforts of a good home are more easily acquired than in the Gila valley adjacent to Florence, and there Is no other place where all the clements that make up the highest enjoyments of life in such profusion. The mild climate; the pure dry at- mosphere; the fertility of the soil and the wide range of its products, and the remunerative prices that prevail, all combine to make this the most de- sirable portion of the great west for permanent homes. None of the evils that afflict other portions of the country are found here, and kind nature has heaped her most bountiful gifts with
 generous hand upon his enchan ed spot. Existence under the placid shades of it's fruitful trees is uninter- rupted by a single trial or privation, and life is gladdened with the peace and plenty that prevails. It is among the last portions of our broad nation to receive the revivifying influences of high civilization and it is the best apparently reserved for the crowning glory of it's greatnes'. In every aspect it may be viewed the unchangable fact remains that the nearest approach to earthly perfection is found in this wonderful valley, and the day is not far distant when poets will sing paens in its praise and the utilitarian world will ask a share of its countless gifts

The Almond Tree.

The almond tree should be cultivat- ed the same as fruit tree, though owing to its having a larger top it should be planted twenty feet apart, each way, making 10S to the acre. These trees do not need the care that a fruit orchard does, and they are us- ually more profitable. They com mence bearing the third year and in crease until the sixth, after which each tree will bear from fifteen to thirty pounds per season, which are worth from 10 to 16 cents per pound, On an average this would bring $290 per tree, and in this way one acre of land will bring in $315, which is rather a good investment. A great many peo- pie are already taking notice of the money to be made in the almond cul- ture, and large orchards of almond trees have been planted within the last two years.-Chicago Park Times,
 The law in regard to the paying of taxes on land that has only been filed upon is not generally well understood even among the interested parties. In substance the law says that land that has been filed upon is liable to taxation that it can be sold by the sheriff fo1 payment of taxes, but that the party who has done the filing does not lose his right thereon. However when he proves up on the land, all the accum ulated taxes will be charged against il and the property can then be sold tC pay taxes by the sheriff of the county -Arizonan.
