That Bad Man.

s The meddfesome fndividuaf who has with the utmost insolence halted the stages and rified the mailbags and pas sengers recently with unprecedented success, has again consulted the tray cling public. A Mexican by the name of Carmen Venzuela, who was travel ling towards Phenix on the Black canyon road, driving span of good mules, was approached by 8 young man heavily armed, having both a re- volver and a rife, who asked Carmen if his mules were good pack animals, and not getting very satisfactory an swer from the driver, departed. Ven- Zuela continued his route and camp ed on the Arizona canal Friday night,
 some nine miles north of Phenix.
 Some time in the night the Mexican
 missed his mules, and being some
 what suspicious of the fellow, hastened
 to make search for the animals, but
 without avail. He rode all day, but failing to discover anything but the
 tracks of the thief, came to town for
 assistance from the sheriff.
 This man has been lettering around
 the wood camps on the Prescott road for some days, and it is suspicioned that he is the individual who has been standing up" the stages of late. A thorough search should be made for
 the rascal, and if found, the law he has
 so long outraged by his robberies
 should be vindicated.-Gazette.

Cure For Diphtheria.

The Medical and Surgical Reporter says:
 "Lime water is an admirable reme- dy in cases of diphtheria. Its local eff feet is more useful in cleansing and purifying the fauces, and it's mode of application Is the easiest imaginable. It requires no spray apparatus, no douching and no effort at gargling. it is sufficient to have the patient swallow slowly a teaspoonful or more every hour, in order to get good re- suits from its use. This fact is of the greatest importance in treating child .ren, who are often too, cruelty tortur- ed in the attempt te te make focal appii- cations to the throat. Lime water can be easily given, and is taken read fly by children; and there are, we be- lieve, few cases of diphtheria which re- quire more energetic treatment than the one just described. In fact, we think that an early clearing out of the bowels, with calomel-sometimes in massive doses--followed up after a short interval by the administration of the lime water and the use of suit able tonic and roborant regimen, con stitutes 8 method which comes the nearest to universal applicability oi any one with which we are familiar and we think that the use of lime wa ter is of more consequence than any other. part of treatment except the preliminary purgation."

Tombstone's Future.

We are firm in the belief that the Tombstone mining district will yet become the greatest and most pros porous bullion producer in the world. Various causes might be assigned for the inactivity which has characterized that once booming district during the past three years, but philosophy fails to remedy past defects, and "it might have been" is only the vail of the Respondent Deep down in the hidden recesses of Contention hill locked firm ly in the embrace of old dame nature, awaiting the advent of pick and drill, are millions of tons of richest ores, and 1t is idle to speculate as to the in activity of its owners, and more idle still to believe that they will permit it to remain there undisturbed an in- definite period. Many unforeseen agen- cies have been at work to prevent the workings of both the Grand Central and Contention mines, the most disas- trous being the burning of the hoist ing works and large pump of the for mer. Butit looks at present as though an amicable adjustment of all past diff culties had been arranged and larger and more suitable pumps would soon be put in. Mineral veins of great rich ness have been discovered and prospec ted sixty feet below water line whicf demonstrate clearly thatsa splendid de posit of metal exists below water level
 All in all it is fair to presume tha
 business will be resumed with greate
 earnestoess the coming season in near ! ly all of the prominent mines in tn Tombstone district.-Gazctte.

The farmers of the Salt river valley are now hard at work, blowing their fields and preparing for next seasons crops. An unusually large are will be sown to grain, while great quantity of new land will be brought under cul- tivation, the greater part of which will be devoted to the production of alfalfa, which crop promises the most speedy and large returns. The life of the farmer in Arizona differs greatly from that of his brothers in the states. He does not have to wait for rains to put his lands in condition for blowing, but turns in head of water from his ditch, and ill few days his land is ready to receive the blow. He is not compelled to fertilize his fields; neither does he have to work in bitter cold weather or in driving storms in order to get his lands planted in proper time. When it is planted, the land again irrigated, and the seed at once sprouted, there is no danger of failure of crops from too little of too much rain. His head gate is the regulator, and this is raised and lowered to irrigate the lands to which is applied just such quantities of water as are deemed necessary. There is no anxiety as to the making of crops, and when the summer com es they are harvested, and the products sold. No place in the world are farm ing pursuits so certain of an average return as in Arizona, and this is why
 the industry has grown so rapidly during the past few years.-Arizona.

An Editor HonorOd.

President-elect Harrison has tender ed Elijah W. Halford, managing edi- tor of the Indianapolis Journal, the position of private secretary. MT. Halford is 43 years of age and native of England. He began his newspaper career as reporter on the Journal % years ago. He was for a time manag- ing editor of the Chicago Inter-Ocean in it's earlier years. He was for a number of years private secretary of the late Senator Morton. He has long taken an active and prominent part in Indiana politics and was a delegate to the late Chicago conven- tion, representing Indiana on the com nittee on the platform. As an edi- torial writer he is widely known for his able and incisive political articles. For several years past he has been on intimate and confidential terms with Gen.. Harrison and his selection for the position rendered him occasions no surprise. =

Funny Things

A funny thing was the experience Of the democratic candidate for govern or of Nebraska. Something made him think that he was more popular than his republican opponent, and so he sent to every place in the state what are called "stickers," that is, slips with his name on them to be pasted over the name of his opponent on the republican ticket. This gave the Nebraska humor play. The voters used the "stickers," but instead of put ting them over the name of the republi- can candidate for governor they put them in other places, and accordingly Congressman McShane is elected con stable in many precincts, road supervis or in others, and in one has attained the dignity of justice of the peace. He does not think it as funny as most of his fellow citizens do.-Gazette.

TIE wheelbarrow procession as the penalty of unsound political judgment, has passed and the people are wonder ing why such foolish wagers are seriously considered. As a gamble upon the result of certain issues it is not profitable, neither does it serve any useful purpose. It is scarcely anus ing and ought to be relegated to the musty "chestnuts" and a more novel method of aiding nature to make fools of mortals be substituted.

Lake HuashucA.

The lake which was discovered in the Huachuca mountains, an account of which appered in yesterdays issue of the Prospector, was discovered by Messrs. Robbins and Bunch, of Ash Canyon spring, while following up Q ledge which had been discovered by them. The roof of the cave was en- tirely dry, and the water of the purest quality and as clear as crystal. A number of human bones were found, also some relics of ancient pottery. The cave was explored for 300 feet in length, but no estimate of its extent could be arrived at. The fact that it had not been discovered before, is due to the entire absence of any open ing existing, until the discoverers of the ledge had picked away some loose rock at point on the ledge where work had evidently been done many years ago.-Prospector.

A Silver Syndicate.

The Mining and Scientific Press is authority on mining matters on this coast. It says in dicussing the silver market of the past week: "The mar ket the past week showed considerable strength, with sales at 932 O 935 up to Saturday. On Monday, under ad- vices of an advance in the London market, prices with us were worked up from 944 to 944o. Buyers reported silver bullion scarce and difficult to get, except by bidding well up. There is no doubt in certain quarters there is a growing belief that much higher range of values will obtain. This opinion is founded on confirmed re- ports that movement is on foot to form a syndicate having for its object the controlling of the output of the mines, and also the markets of the world"

THE Tombstone ProspectoI, in it's conlpar1son of the vote of Arizona the present year with that of 1884, errs in its conclusion regarding that cast by Pinal county, by stating that its vote has fallen of A from that boiled in 1884. The records show that in 1884 the total vote boiled in Pinal county was 74S; in 1888 there were SIS poll cd, showing a net gain of 13O votes. A larger vote was cast at the last cleo ton in this county than was ever be- fore polled, that of Florence alone showing an increase of 82.

Fine Stone.

Dick Mattison has placed on ex- hibition in front of the office of Schultz & Franklin, large block of brown stone which he sawed in two pieces with hand saw. The ease with which this rock can be worked into any de sired shape should recommend it to all builders. The rock hardens with ex- posture but retains all of its rich color. A large block of dressed stone was this week sent as sample to Los Angeles contractors and if satisfactory will doubtless be used in large quantities in that city. The brown stone now used there is principally from the Flagstaff quarries, the color of which is much inferior to the Tempe product. If the stone from the Grand canal quarries once gets introduced in Cal, there is sure to be large demand for it, and will be the means of bringing many a dollar into the valley, of which Tempe, owing to its proximity to the quarries will receive the most benefit Mir. Mattison has expended about $2, 900 in labor and cash in get ting the quarries in shape to be ad- vantsgeously worked and he now has everything SO arranged that he can ship several carloads a day, which we hope he may soon be doing-Tempe News.

IN the competitive struggle for met

IN the competitive struggle for met ropolitan distinction natures fashion ing of local advantages is of little avail without the indispensable coefhcient of intelligent enterprise, and towns ap- parently designed by nature to become great centers of business activity have dwarfed and died under the brilliance of competitive marts possessing no other merit than the potent energy born of public spirit and invincible enterprise. The country is full of ex- amples of this proof of the inability of unaided nature to cope with human cunning and we have striking one under our very eyes. The town of Florence sits to-day where natural selection would point out the site for grand and hourishing city, possessing greater and better advantages than any other settlement in the Territory; with the most fertile soil and an un- failing source of abundant water sup ply; the center of rich mining sections and therrruf belt where not only all kinds of fruits and other products of the temperate and semi-tropical zones can be easily raised, but which wooes back the waning health of the invalid through its genial climate, bright sun shine and pure dry atmosphere. With all these acknowledged and recognized advantages the place has not advanc- ed with that degree of rapidty one might expect. On the other hand, the city of Phenix has far oustripped us in the race, and it's success is chiefly due to the irrepressible enterprise of it's people. Their ambition is to build large and prosperous city and they acted in concert in the matter of &C., quiring every possible attraction that might add to the beauty or benefit of the place, until the fair fame of their pleasant garden city extends through out the length and breadth of the country. During all this time our own beautiful little town has witness ed the seasons come and go with a superior indifference to the consequent ces of its own inactivity. It is not pleasant task to state that even the most valuable and important enter prises, calculated to reclaim the coun- try and to build up hourishing city here, are not always welcomed with a spirit of friendliness. The canals now being constructed before the town are subjected to tiresome and unnecessary delays and annoyances that amount tC almost open hostility. This is not right and 30 long as such policy is permitted to prevail the hope of pro, gress must be deferred. Our people should b1ry their petty differences and, hy coming together on public matters, work in concert to encourage the establishment of every industry and meritorious enterprise that can be induced to come here. This is fal more serious matter than many thoughtless persons consider it to bt and our leading citizens should make an initiatory movement by effecting ar organization to labor for the promo tion of the public veal.

Col. John Wier, capitalist of New York, but now resident of Pima county, arrived this morning to take a look at our part of the Territory. Col. Wier is interesting himself largely in property in the Territory and proposes to make us known more extensively in the east. To that end he has in- vited the well known newspaper man Blakely Hall of New York, to visit the Territory which he will do in Febru- ary next for the purpose of giving the eastern part of the continent an idea of where and what Arizona is, through the great New York weeklies. Col Wier is seeing this part of Arizona for the first time and from what he saw simply coming in on the train in satis fed of the splendid future in store for this ralley and Phenix.-Herald.

law that fails to provide for the reimbursement -to the sheriff of ex- penses incurred in theparsuit of fugi- Ative criminals if he fails to arprehend
 Them, should be modified by the next Legislature. That officer performs his iuty as much in one case as in the |ther, and the interposition of unusual
 Ind unseen obstacles to the success of
 is chase ought not to entail the ex- penses thereof upon him personally. D It is unreasonable to expect an officer to perform such hazardous public services at his own private expense. The people of Florence recognized this fact by making up purse with which to employ Indian trailers to act in conjunction with the passe in hunting down the stage robbers. The sheriff had already expended large sum from bis private funds and was unable to proceed further for the lack ol means. The law is unwise and it serves to defeat the very purpose it was framed to accomplish: the cer- tainty of the capture of fugitive crim- inals.

One of the most oppressive trusts in the country has been formed by the publishers Of school books. Compe- tition would soon bring prices down, but combination of the publishers with large capital makes competition i'm possible. The school book has for years been the dearest kind of litera- ture, and itis made so l,y this combin- ation, which the law should punish or prevent. So far has this gone that different publishers divide the country between them, some taking one city and some another.-Kansas City Com mercial.
