Helping the Right Side.

To help the right side is not only cemmendable in a general point of view, but is judicious and prudent when that help is enlisted in behalf of the right side of the body, just over the lower ribs in the region of the liv- eN The most efficient help is afforded by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, an ambitious medicine of incomparable efficacy. Inaction of the liver is ac- companied by constipation, sick head ache, furred tongue, nausea, occasional vertigo, an unpleasant breath, yellow ness of the skin and ball of the eye. The author of these symptoms, liver complaint, routed by the Bitters, is accompanied by them in its flight. Fever and ague, which always involv- es the liver, dyspepsia, rheumatism, debility and kidney troubles are all maladies to the early relief and final cure of which this standard mediciL is adapted. Don't use it by fits ane starts, but systematically, that it's full effects may result in perfect restor- atiOn of health.

Cramming a Tenderfoot.

In conversation with Frank Rector to-day a Semi-Tropic reporter learned of an incident which occurred during the Geronimo outbreak four years ago, and in which MT Rector was principal factor He was working his mine, tho Frank Rector, located from Lordsburg, Arizona, about 70 miles and on the Mexico line. One ledge of eighteen inches assays $1 ,030 to the ton. A specimen was shown which was very rich the gold showing plainly. MT. Rector was at work On this mine, assisted by nine miners and cook, when a band of Indians surprised them. The Indians succeeded in kill ing the nine miners and the cook and drove Rector into hole. He was fortunate enough to keep his rifle with him, and with it did some excellent work. In attempting to drive him from his retreat the Indians started for the hole, but with his ready rifle Rector dropped a couple of redskins in their tracks. This rather surprised them and while they hesitated an other Indian was made to bite the dust. Then they retreated, Their de- sire to recover their fallen comrades overcane their discretion, and in try ing to reach them another fellow re- ceived his death wound. This little game was kept up for two days, until Rector had killed eleven Indians. To- wards evening of the second day a party of prospectors happened along and scared the Indians away. Mir Rector was taken from the hole more dead than alive, having been without water or food for the two days. He was taken to Lordsburg, where & doc tor commenced to revive him at the rate of half teaspoonful of water every hour.
 Mir. Rector is a strappling big fellow and goes by the name in Arizona oi Dutch Frank" He was offered $25,- 900 for his mine on Monday last, but won't sell for less than four times that amount. He now runs number ot teams for the various contractors or the railroads and -Tro. pic.

Postmaster Alonzo Bailey, is in re- ceipt of letter from Hon. NJ. A. Smith, dated, House of Representatives, Washington, D. C., July 30th, convey ing the gratifying intelligence that he had succeeded in obtaining from the Second Assistant Postmaster General 8 promise to shorten the carrying time on postal route No. 40,129, Florence to Globe. Mir. Smith says, q did not leave him until he ordered his chief clerk to write to contractors and notify them of the proposed action" It is presumed that the new time schedule will go into operation within a few days. The mail will then come through from Florence without detention at River side and arrive in Globe in the morn ing instead of in the afternoon as here tofore, thus effecting saving in time of from eight to ten hours. The peo- pie of Gila county are indebted to MT. Smith for his faithful and successful efforts to promote their interests.- Globe Silver Belt.

Water Storage in Arizona.

The surveyor-generalo of Arizona has made his annual report on the subject of public lands in Arizona, and some of the interesting points on water storage are both practical and sugges- tive. He says:
 "The annual rainfall in Arizona is more than sufficient to irrigate all available lands for agricultural pur- poses, if means can be devised to hus- band the water and utilize the same when required at the period when most needed during the dry and hot sum- mer months.
 "Ihe facilities offered in our noun tains and foot hills for tho construc- tions of large reservoirs is all that could be desired and whilst somewhat expensive to constract suitable dams to resist the torrents of water that ire quently rush down innumerable can yons, yet there are many places where large bodies of water can be stored without large expenditure of money. "The storage of water is no longer an experiment in Arizona. At Wal nut Grove in Yavapai county a dam about 100 feet in height has been erected and large body of water is now held in reserve and will be uti- lized for placer mining and agricul- tural purposes. Nearly half million of money has been expended in it's con- struciion which is of the most durable character, and has so far met the full expectations of it's designers.
 Similar reservoirs are in contem- plation in this part of the Territory and large expectations are confidently anticipated.
 "The government should put out every inducement possible for the con struction of these reservoirs, as thous ands of acres of the public domain now worthless could be utilized and 1T many places largely supersede the ex pensiye system of irrigation now 1T use. Parties willing to construct these reservoirs should be literally deal with respecting the lands needed fo their use, as many acres will neces sarily have to be inundated by over flow, which will be entirely useless fo agricultural purposes. The right o occupancy for the construction o reservoirs should be literally and free , ly granted and laws should be enactet giving every encouragement consisten with public policy"

Judging from the past the dressed beef men will freely spend their money the coming winter to debauch legisla- lures and prevent the passage of laws which are necessary of enactment in order to insure supply of wholesome meat products. The country is being deluged with the rank, unsavory and Otentimes diseased meat which, with the utmost recklessness and lack of care for the health of the consumer, the dressed-beef concerns sell for consump- tion. The stock yards inspectors of live stock and the inspectors of meat in the markets of the large cities present facts as to the methods of the big four in buying diseased animals and selling their product for wholesome food that makes one shudder in the reading of it. The enemy to human health which lies concealed in ice-box meat we do not be- lieve the public yet fully understand. The popular demand for the enactment of the most stringent laws in connec- ton with the handling of meat will be overwhelming, and the same care must be exercised in America in all that per tains to the sale of unhealthy meats as is shown in the markets of the Conti- nent and the British Isles.-L;s Veg; s Stock Grower.

THE local political machinery has not yet been put in motion, although the busy bee has found a congenial abiding place in many candidates bonnet. In the meantime the days are growing shorter and the public pulse beats quicker while the sacrifi- -eial can 'iiate perspires in doubt and hesitation. The parched throats are nervous'y awaiting the expected liba- tions with undisguised impatience and will not be comforted. The remark the governor of North Carolina made to his contemporary of South Carolina is the burden of their song and their aversion to the limpid beverage of na- ture is profound in its V hemence. All this suppressed agitation must soon culminate and gush forth like the belching volcano, and in the scramble for the leaden loaves and bony fishes the feast of excitement will speedily wax high and loud.

THE present summer will go on record as the hottest and most oppres- sive ever known in this valley The thermometer has not reached the maximum degree of temperature an unusual length of time, but the atmos- phere has been more humid and a sultriness has more frequently pre- vailed that is entirely foreign to this climate. Notwithstanding this fact, those whose occupations require them to work in the direct rays of the sun have experience no il!-enec,s from the heat, while eastern people, spending their first summer in Arizona, say they find themselves far more com fortable here than they expected and do not think it quite as disagreeable as the ordinary eastern summer weather The fact is, an Arizona summer is not one half so oppressive as popular be- lief has made it, while the remaining eight months of the year are very close to climatic perfection.

KAoLIN, an extremely valuable ar ticle of commerce, used in the manu- facture of fine porcelain, is found in southern Arizona existing in large de- posits of wonderful purity In Pima county there is an old mine of kaolin that was once utilized by the early Spanish missionaries and upon which a vast amount of development work was done. The product was trans ported by burros to the Gulf of Cali fornia where it was loaded upon yes gels and taken to Spain. The old tun- nels are now out of repair, but the de posit has suffered little in the amount of mineral taken therefrom. The time will come when this mine will possess great value.

AN agitation looking to annexation to the United States is reported in Gu ba, owing to embarrassing financial troubles. The ultimate destiny of that Aowery isle is foreshadowed in this movement, although the present efforts may fail to bring about this consummation.

THE idol of a large faction of the French people, Gen. Boulanger, has fallen low in the estimation of his countrymen, and only few days ago he barely escaped assassination at the hands of mob on the streets of Paris. Gen. Boulanger possesses undoubted ability as a military leader, but his greatest misfortune is his own un- governable ambition, prompted by a firm conviction of his infallibility as q civil leader. The chances favor his early elimination from political prom thence in that republic.

TIE call for the holding of the Dem- ocraic Territorial Convention, which we publish in another column, sug- gests the propriety of designating per sons fer appointment to the various Territorial offices by the president in anticipation of the enactment of law requiring their selection from resi- dents of the Territory. Whatever grain of wisdom the suggestion may contain, its practical operation will be found beset with all the obstacles that the rage of disappointed place hunters can invent, or envy, malice and prejudice can suggest. We are fully i'll accord with the principle of home rule as applied 10 the territorial offices, but the mode of selecting them as suggested in the call for the demo- cratic convention places the voice of the people in the mouths of few pre- fessional politicians actuated by greed rather than for the public good. A better plan would be the election by ballot of candidates for the several po- 7itions, and those receiving the major ity of the popular vote be declared the choice of the people, irrespective of partisan afhliation. The only objec- ton that can be raised against this simple plan is the uncertainty of the Territorial affairs being at all times conducted in harmony with the par tisan complexion of the general ad ministration, but this objection will be offset by the benefits to be derived from a genuine and honest home rule It would be farcical in the extreme tc guarantee Territory the autonomiC relations of state and then stultify the privilege by committing its affairs to the hands of perhaps a small min oity of the people through the expres son of handful of occasionally Sc le,;ted representatives.

CONGRESS seems to have been wound up for long run this time, and those members whose terms expire next spring have yet had no opportunity to repair their political fences for a re- newal of their lease upon the public trust confded to them. Nominating conventions are called and the subtle craft of willy rivals and antagonists is be- ing exercised against a renewal of their preferment while they are help lessly restrained by the tangled web of public duty-victins of circum- stance. In our own Territory strong efforts are being quietly made to shelve the present efficient delegate to satisfy the ambitious passions and lust of of- flee in others, but we cannot believe their machinatiOns will meet with any great measure of success. Mir. Smith has served well the people of Arizona, and has shown no partiality in his ef- forts in their behalf because of their individual partisan proclivities. He has won the esteem of his constitu- ents and is strongly entrenched in their affections. He is by far the strongest candidate the democrats can nominate and we do not apprehend that theywill jeopardize their chances in the coming election by substituting 2 weaker element for tho absolute cer tainty of success.

A correspondent of the Mohave Min CT says: "The Mohaves are powwow ing and palavering at great rate. It seems that the Acting Commissioner of the Interior Department has writ ten letter to the Indian Agent of the Mohaves appointing Jim," generally known as Captain Jim," to be chief of all the Indians at the Needles, with the euphonious and lofty title of General Jim" The followers of old "Ah-Skeet" are indignant, while "Gen- eral James" is correspondingly pom pous and happy"

THE cultivation of tobacco in this valley ought certainly to give very satisfactory results. Southern Ari- zona is the natural home of the tobac- co plant which can be found almost anywhere in its wild state, demon strating the peculiar adaptability of conditions of soil and climate neces- sary 10 it's production. We are not cognizant of any experiments having been made in it's cultivation, and it is perhaps worth trial with view to test the matter thoroughly. It is or dinarily q profitable crop and it would be particularly so if superior quality of leaf can be grown, which would en- courage the establishment of tobacco and cigar factories near the producing locality. We suggest that our farm CTS procure a small quantity of several choice varieties of seed and give the matter good and fair test.

THE Territory of Arizona possesses a range of temperature extending from a tropical mildness in its southern val leys to an icy frigidity in its lofty mountain ranges, and one can always find a climatic quality congenial to his desire. In like manner does the Territory contain the natural conditions for the production of all the necessities and luxuries of life even though it should be isola- ted from the whole civilized world This combination of resources is rarely met with, if indeed it exists at all any where else in the world.

RESIDENTS of this valley who have made observations covering a success sion of years, say the May and October frosts usual upon the bottom lands never occur on the mesa along the Florence canal, and that even the win ter frosts seldom reach that altitude. If this be true the mesa lands will give both very early and very late crops-in fact, almost perpetual sue cession of crops. The early fruits will also escape the danger that attends those in the valley, and other great advantages will follow the opening of these lands to settlement and culti- vation.

The following decision made by the United States supreme court is worthy of mention: Work done outside of a mining claim, if done for the purpose and as means of perfecting the claim, as in the case of tunnels, drifts, etc., is
 as available for holding the claim as if done within the boundaries of the claim itself. One general system may be formed well adapted and intended to work several contiguous claims or lodes i; and when such is the case labor in furtherance of the system is labor on the claim intended to be developed by

THERE is good demand at the present time for developed mining properties of demonstrated worth, iii Arizona and, although the Territory is full of rich and large mineral veins, the supply is not adequate to the de mand. The trouble lies with the mine owners, generally, in their eager ness to dispose of their claims before they are sufficiently developed. There is no difficulty in selling a real mine for good figure, but an undeveloped prospect can hardly be given away. Miners who understand this fact and proceed to open up their claims to the desired state of development, are sure to reap a reward sooner or later, and there are plenty of men with abundant means looking through the country for such prol critics. The moral is obvious, and it should inspire miners to their best efforts to open up their claims and make them valuable.
