The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-05-05

The election reform bill which has been
introduced in the New York Legislature
may be very good measure, but the
chances of its passage are slim. Assembly
man Saxton, who is pushing it, is trying to
catch the Assembly in "a quiet state of
mind" before he brings it up. After tho
calm will come the storm of opposition, for
if the bill should become a law many of the
members would have to retire from politi-
cal life

Canada is complaining because she is
being flooded with circulars from New
York, Offering ''green goods" for sale She
proposes to protect herself as best she can,
and bill will be introduced in the House
of Commons imposing heavy penalties on
persons found handling such goods. New
York ought to pass some law looking to the
punishment Of those who sell them.

VIM. D. MoNMoNIER, Clerk.

The Rev. Sidney Beckwith preached to a good sized audience last Sunday morning, at St. Paul's church, and made a very favorable impression. Our Pres byterian friends are endeavoring to pro- cure the services or Rev. R. L. Davis, (brother of w. C. Davis of Tucson) who was in this city some two years ago, and for the few weeks he was pastor of the Presbyterian flock here, made himself deservedly popular. These two above gentlemen, with our present Methodist incumbent, Rev. G. L. Pearson, who is respected by all, will give Tombstone a ministerial trio not surpassed in the Territory, and it should be a matter of pride with our citizens to see that each of these receive encouragement to re- main with us.

PETRIFIED WOOD.
The Great Arizona Forest Being Shipped
 North.
(Phenix Gazette,

(Phenix Gazette.)
 The wonderful petri6ed forest lying
 south of the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, near Holbrook, is one of the most re-
 markahle natural curiosities in the west, and has frequently been described in these columns. The petrl6ed logs and chips cover many hundreds of acres, and the stone IS of incomparable beauty. Some of the Colorado or Yellowstone agates, the Mexican onyxes, or the most gorgeous marbles look shabby beside it. Its only drawback is its hardness. While Colorado agates only average 40 to 50 per cent of the hardest ofdiamonds this petrifed wood averages 70 per cent. It cuts glass readily, is not "phased" by the finest file, and yields to nothing short of diamond dust. A great many at tempts have been made to polish it, but its fearful obstanacy has baffled the lapi- daries. About four years ago, as readers of the Gazette may remember, syn dicate known as the Drake company was formed to work the wood. It leased the land from the Atlantic and Pacific rail- road, and erected works for polish ing. The attempt was met by all sorts of obstacles, and by enormous expenses. The company has "blown in" fully Sr25,- 900; but as reward for its nerve, is at last successful, and its $85,ooo plant at Sioux Falls, Dak., is turning out the most suberb stonework ever seen any where. One pillar of petri6ed wood, nine inches in diameter and thirty inches long, is now at T,ffany's, New York, and is valued at $Soo. There were also sev- eral big slabs-the largest agates were polished-which are worth $500 aplece. One might think this trifle high, but those familiar with cutting such stones are not surprised at the price. No other lapidary establishment in the United States can cut an agate face more than twelve inches in diameter. F. C.. Hatch, superintendent for the company at the petrified forest, had in Los Angeles section of a hugh tree trunk thirtythree inches in diameter. It is worth $500. The hardest chilled steel saw procurable gnawed away at that section ten hours a day for sixty.one days and eight hours. The saw at entrance was six inches wide; when it came out on the other side, it was only two inches wide. MT. Hatch had with him lot of magnificent speci- mems, which he put on exhibition at Bartletts. The Drake company has full control of the petriied forest, and has shipped already I5o tons of it to Sioux Falls to be worked up.

 "For a number of days smoke has been noticed over the range of mountains about northeast of Acayucan Vera Cruz It was thought at first the timber was on fire, but it has been since learned that San Martin Peak ofthe San Martin range has commenced to give forth smoke, and frequent earthquakes, have been felt, pre-. ceeded by lond subterranean noises which have been heard thirty miles dis tant, and it is believed the mountain will soon become an active volcano"

a net profit of SI8,6oo for the month. The stamps were not in operation for seven days during the month on account of scarcity of water. This gives net profit of little over $500 per day for 40 stamps, or little over S2o per day for each stamp. There are now. 50 stamps in operation, and the net profit for this month may safely be estimated at SIooo per day or $3I 900 for the month.-Siver City Sentinel.

Our amiable and handsome Repre- sentative in Congress, Marcus Aurelus Smith, is getting into favor with the ladies of Tombstone, by sending them packages of flower and vegetable seed. Mark knows well enough that these balmy Arizona days fill every woman's soul with desire to make garden, and that big package of seed that didn't cost anything, is all that seemeth nec- essary to them, to give all the fruits and flowers possibly to be desired. There may be some disappointment in the future Tn these seeds, but Mark will be solid with the ladies all the same.
