The Gila Monster.

Dr. H. c. Narrow, of the Smith sonian Institute, after various ex- periments with the gila monster, has finally decided that it is non- poisonous reptile. The experiments reaching to. this conclusion were made on rabbits and chickens, which in each instance were severe ly bitten, but beyond a slight lame ness, no evil results followed. In one fowl copious hypodermic in jection of the saliva in glycerine produced death, but this result the experimentor attributes to the gly- cerine, and not to the saliva of the heloderma. The case of Yeager, who is supposed to have died at Fairbanks, in Southern Arizona, from the bite of a monster is cited, as is also that of several others. But the doctor evidently thinks the death of these men is but another proof of the killing qualities of Arizona whiskey. Other authori- ties are cited, notably DTS. Mitchell and Reichert, whose experiments with the reptile proved fatal in every instance; and also those of Sir John Lubbock, whose experi- ments also produced like result. But as rule mans own exper1- ments are, at least with himself, the most convincing; hence the doc tors conclusions.-Ex.

hood, the mourning wives were nearing old age and infrmity.
 About this time the bloodthirsty Apaches, thep as now fiends incar- nate, by stratagem succeeded in en- tering the city, when all at once they raised the war whoop and massacred every living being in the place, but the young maidens they bore away captive. Here the aged Acoma took another draught of aguardiente and concluded his remarks by adding that those who went to the relief of Montezuma were never heard from afterwards, that shortly after the catastrophe the Spaniards took possession of the country and the fate of Guato was forgotten in the misfortunes that followed.-BulIion.

How They Were Killed.

Sundays issue of the Prospector contained brief account of the killing of two Mexican horse thieves near Tres Alamos by Constable Woods. From later accounts 1t seems that the horses were stolen at Wilcox by Pablo Garcia-better known as "Loco Pablo," and Pedro Reyes, two Mexicans from Pima county. When the stock was missed they were sus uspected, and Constable Woods, Pedro Martinez and Tidwell started on their track, but didn't come up with them until a short distance below Tres Alamos, where they were overtaken riding the stolen animals. They were placed under arrest and the party started for Benson, but after passing Tres Alamos, Garcia and Reyes made a break for liberty, and upon their refusal to stop when commanded the posse fired upon them with fatal effect. Justice Walker, of Benson, was notified and held an inquest upon the, bodies. Reyes is well known here, having served a sixty days sentence in the county jail last summer for larceny.-Tomb- stone ProspectOr.

A Dog Puzzled by Dress.

A cattleman from Arizona, Vim. Wilson by name, has just come down to the city and brought with him dog that would have delight ed the heart of the author of "Sar- tor Resartus." For the animal faunts true Carlylean contempt for the fripperies of civilization and the useless adornment of clothes. Mir. Wilson sent Nugget, the dog, to board with a dog fancier in a ca nine boarding house, and then went to a clothing store and exchanged his cowboys rig for new clothes of the latest cut. The next day he called on Nugget, but Nugget would have none of him. The master whistled to the dog, petted him and made every effort to make him un- derstand that affection was not changed, even though clothes had been. The dog looked up at the silk hat which had taken the place of the broad-brimmed slouch to which he had been accustomed, snif1td at the dude-like cane, and surveyed the light trousers from several points of view, and then walked of to the corner of the room, lay down, and gave long, mourn ful howl. Mr. Wilson tried to coax him out of the corner, but could not. Nugget would look up at him with a knowing expression in his eye, and occasionally give the fee blest little wag to the end of his tail, but he could not be induced to re- consider bis evident determination not to recognize his master in any such ridiculous attire as that Mr. Wilson went to his hotel, donned his cowboys rig agaiL, and then re- turned to Nuggets quarters. The instant the dog saw him he was al- most wild with joy, and his delight at seeing his master again clothed as he thought man ought to be, was almost unbounded.-Pall Mall Budget.

Business for the Senate Committee,

"I have known many carloads of cholera hogs being shipped from localities infected with the disease , says Waldo F. Brown, "and 1 know that thousands of hogs are fed on still slop, in filthy, crowded pens, and have been in the large render ing establishments and seen how pure leaf lard CD is made. Five hundred hogs heads-ears, eyes, teeth and snout-are thrown into a tank, and so much gut fat, so much trimmings, and enough leaf fat to give it a name, and the products run off leaf lard'." And when Senator Vests committee gets down to work we expect they will discov- CT lots of just such experience as this and present it to the world. There is more in it than the aver age reader dreams of.-Rural World.

Some one who wanted to worry Senator Tom Bowen, of Colorado, started the story few weeks ago that he had $2O,000 which he de- sired to bet on the election of Har- rison and Morton. The Colorado statesman, 1t may be said, is not in any sense a betting man, but, judging from the letters he has re- ceived regarding the matter, 1t IS evident that a great many of his fellow citizens think differently Some of these letters are very amusing. One sportively inclined gentleman in Arizona, for example, is willing to stake his stock farm and all it's appurtenances upon the result. His proposition is set forth in letter which bears date at Phe- nix, A. T., July fl, and which reads as follows:
 Hon. Thomas NJ. Bowen-Sir |: I have noticed in newspaper the statement that you are offering to bet $20,000 on the Presidential elec- ton. A stock man here-a Cleve- land enthusiast-wants to wager the following on the general result :: "A good range in the Cedar re- zion and rainy portion of Arizona, twelve miles square, having plenty of water and grass about 120 mares, S12,000; 100 two and three-year- odds $4,000; 100 colts, $2,000; 6 stallions (Percherons), $3,000; house, stables and shops. 5000; vineyards and field, with ditches $3,OO0. Total, s25,0O0.
 'I have the stockman's offer written out and signed by him. self, and of course all properpapers are to be made and the property placed in the hands of a trustee or stakeholder.
 Yours respectfully,

There is very general miscon- ception of the amount ofrain which falls during any particular storm, and wher by request we state the actual measurment the exclamation of the person asking is almost in variably, "Is that all?" Few are aware that an ''inch of rain" means a gallon of water spread over a surface of not quite twosquare feet, orabout one hundred tons.to an acre of. of.land.-Miner.

Once more have we trampled on the scavenger who sells the routed meats sent into the wild west by Nelse Morris. In another column will be found full particulars of the exciting scrap wherein the bacilli- covered liver jerker attempted to break down the press, the bulwark of civilization. The callow effigy who is poisoning the people of this town with lumpy.jawed beef, SCOT butte mutton and fever-sore Joins, came to Arizona with a pair of eye glasses and case of billiousness, to show our people how to run a meat shop, but he wouldn't know an atrophied ham from an encysted liver if 1t were handed to him on a snow shovel.-Arizona Kicker.

On the night of the second in stant as a freight train on the At lantic & Pacific Railroad was ap- preaching a point five miles east of Holbrook it encountered washout. The engine left the track and car after car piled on it. Engineer Kaufman and fireman John Brad ley were horribly scalded, but the conductor and brakemen escaped with bruises. When relief arrived the engineer and fireman were found running about on the prairie delirlous They were taken to Al buquerque but Bradley died on the way. and Kaufman's chanes for recovery are small.-Miner.

The honey industry will soon be- come one of interest in this sec ton of Arizona. There are now about 300 swarms of bees within a radius of ten miles of Tucson. Each hive will average 100 pounds of honey, which can be taken out, making product of 50,000 pounds, which at 20 cents per pound is equal to $10,O00 per annum. This is worth considering and next year it is safe to assume the number of bees and the quantity of honey produced will be trebled.-Star.

Cattlemen who are racking theil

Cattlemen who are racking their brains to devise a plan whereby they can escape the voracious grasp of the dressed beef ring, and real ize better prices for their cattle, might just as we'll make up their minds now-and by concerted ,ac- tion carry the scheme into effect that their only salvation is to es- tablish slaughtering and cold stor- age houses at central points in the range country, and to ship dressed
 meats to places of consumption in refrigerator cars.-Clifton Clarion.

During the thunder storm last Saturday lightning struck the hoist of the Lucky Cuss and ran down the wire cable to the 300-foot level, from there jumped to the track Tn the drift and passed along for more than a hundred feet, where it hit a man who was pushing a car, slight ly stunning him. The bolt had evi- dently. nearly spent its force.-Epi- tanh.

 Arizona is the only Territory that pays it's judges a salary in addition to that paid by the Federal govern ment.
 The Arizona and New Mexico railway, for the forty-one miles of the road in Graham county, has been assessed at $187,456 13.
 The Tombstone Prospector says its city is financially we'll fixed. Good thing. Prescott would be in that same happy condition had it not been for Republican officials Courier.
 The Atlantic and Pacific is put ting recently arrived Italians on the road as section men and laborers. It is said these imported laborers are paid at the rate of SS cents per day. The company have hereto fore paid Indian labor $1.5O per day-Mohave Miner.
 The newspapers of the Territory are divided in opinion as to the ad- visibility of having omitted Ari- zona from the bill making special court for the adjudication of pri- vate land claims, However, a ma jority oppose 1t and approve the action of Delegate Smith in intro ducing an amendment excluding Arizona from the biIl.-Champion.
 One of the ablest Republicans of Arizona called at this office yester- day and stated that the Republican who would run against Mark Smith for Delegate to Congress would be "badly left" as Smith is the best Delegate Arizona has had since Nc Cormick served in that capacity. The gentleman said he knew of 100 Republicans who would vote for MT. Smith.-Courer.
 It is reported that Geronimo and the Apaches sent to Florida are to be returned to Arizona and placed upon the reservation. For the sake of the Indians themselves we sim cerely hope this report is. untrue, and that the eastern meddlers with Indian affairs may be checkmated in their little scheme to again make this Territory the scene of more oodshed.-Enterprise.
 At Peach Springs on Monday af- ternoon one Cunningham, freight conductor on the Atlantic and Pa cifc, was arrested upon the charge of having raped the seven-year-old daughter of Frank Dodge, section boss at that place. He was jailed, and next morning an attempt to lynch was frustrated. All prepara- tion had been made to hang him to a telegraph pole. He was then ta- ken to prison at Kingman. Mo have Miner.
 The Atlantic and Pacific survey ors are now at the Needles, locating a suitable place for the changing of the bridge The bridge, where it is now located, has caused considera- ble trouble, and a large expense of money to the railroad company, and the place they will doubtless select is two miles below the pres ent site. This will cause no delay to the steamers passing under the bridge, The new bridge will have no draw, it-being sufficiently high for all steamers,-Citizen.
 Home rule in the Territories is now before Congress. The commit tee that has the bill in charge re- ports in favor of Delegate Carey's resolution that all officers of Terri tories appointed by the President shall be selected from the bona fide residents of the Territory, This bill will now go from the commit tee to Congress, and will no doubt

This whole section has been thor oughly drenched during the past week, and the whole country now is covered thickly with green grass.

tation of the scence, that is centuries ago when in life and vigor, this dusky maiden had been entombed alive between these walls of mason ", wberefor and when will remain open to conjecture until that day when the mysteries and the se- crets of the earth shall be revealed unto the just and the unjust.
 Shortly after these discoveries he caused extensive excavations to be made in the center of the mound. For this expenditure of time and labor he was rewarded by exposing a large three story edifice of stone, the walls being three feet in width and constructed in the highest type of workmanship. Redoubling his efforts he unearthed four we'll con- structed towers, one at each angle of the structure. No other con struction could be placed upon this discovery than that this mas sive edifice was the citidel of the city, so that in.the event of the city falling into the hands of an enemy it's garrison and population could find a last refuge against their foes within it's walls.
 The interior of the vast halls and chambers of this edifice are plas- tered and painted white. Upon further exploration a. large and we'll constructed reservoir was un- earthed which was capable of con taining a sufficient water supply for the place, from which stone ac- queducts, when yigor and life now animatesd the now mouldering skeletons, distributed the life giv ing element in every portion of the pueblo pretty much upon the same principle that the mains and pipes of the present system distributes the water to our modern cities. Mir. Chavez, however, failed to discover any record that would indicate that in this prehistoric period their ex isted any disposition to find fault with the quantity or quality of the water.
 Mir. Chavez at intervals has re- newed his investigations until he now owns a very valuable collection of relics possessing high degree of intrinsic merit, and of no little value. It would require years to thoroughly explore those interest ing records of d people whose his tory is wrapped in an oblivion that precedes the discovery of the modern hustle by centuries, if not by ages.
 Some weeks ago our Valencia county friend met on the trail an aged Acoma Indian, and from this son of the mesa he secured the tradi- ton which we furnish our readers.
 THE TRADITION.
 Many years ago this centenarian of the plains was informad by his great grandfather that the buried city many years before the white man had entered Cibello was known as Guato, that it's population was numbered by thousands, that the San Mateo valley that surrounded 1t was noted for its fertility, that roses and flowers bloomed where now sterility reigns.
 The population of this strong hold was known throughout the northern domains of Montezuma for their thrift, the bravery of their warriors and beauty of their women. But everything in nature, unless it be time itself, possesses a limit, and Guato was no exception to the rule. and the fatal moment came at last, Heraids from Mon- tezuma had been dispatched to every part of the Mexican empire calling for warriors to rcpel the rapidly advancing Spaniards under Cortez.
