A Great Advance in Cattle.

Our Chicago correspondent express es himself this week as highly hope ful of the future of the cattle market, says the National Stockman; and cir cumstances certainly furnish strong ra.ions on which hopes of this kind may subsist. Hope and discourage ment have alternated so frequently since the opening of last winter that we have become extremely chary of looking for anything that cannot be plainly seen. The selling of good cat tie right along, though, with fair sup plies, at $5.50 @ 6.25, is proof positive that some buyers are ready to pay bet ter prices than have ruled for two years, if it requires such prices to take the cattle. In this connection it is rather a pleasing pastime to look over the representative sales reported at Pittsburg this week.
 It must be admitted that it is not easy, though, to account for so great a change taking place so suddenly IS is now going on in Chicago. Advices re- ceived at the hour of going to press l StdlG lIlttJ lllC nAfI hSb lIICIC lS and active, with fair receipts, and that the dressed beef men have buyers rid ing about over the yards picking uE all the good stock they can, and with out hesitation outbidding all who come in competition with them. One theory current Is that the whole fur " is the work of the beef syndicate which is aiming thereby to force al small buyers out of the market anc compel them to abandon the field; af ter which they will take possession str--ft--tl-t-44 their -etsntrol-ef -tii,,- situs ton, and take everything that comes at their own prices. There is som, color of reason in this, and word o caution just here would not be out o place. It is just as well not to coun too much on this astonishing develop ment in the west. It is suspicion circumstance that the excitement i nearly all confined to Chicago, and W, shall wait a few days at least befor becoming particularly sanguine owe the immediate outlook.

Season Well Before Swallowing.


 Editor Enterprise There is located in the San Jacinto valley, just at the base of the range of mountains, a spring that runs a clear liquid that cannot be told by taste or smell from bowl of rich chicken broth. Many people have been surprised within the past few days and express great wonder at the phenomena. The writer on Sunday visited this won der and was as greatly nonplussed as the rest.

THE potatoes raised in this valley by the farmers are of far better quality than any imported from California and the local production Is growing larger every succeeding year. The prevail ing impression that Arizona potatoes are not equal to those raised in Cali fornia and Oregon is emphatically contradicted by experience. Arizona is the natural home of this popular esculent and its mountain ranges abound with wild species of potato. In this valley the cultivateds kind a. tain very large size and a most exc client quality.

A discovery of quartz, worth $40,0OO per ton, has been made at the Lake Superior Iron Companys gold mine seven miles northwest from Ishpeming, Michigan. A similar discovery was made last August, after which the shaft was closed because the company could mine iron but not gold under the chart CT. The difficulty was finally obviated and work was resumed June 4th. The second discovery proves the permanen- cv of the vein and has created great ex- citement along the gold range north oi Ishpeming.

Criminals Shot at Quay mas.

The military court is now ill session at Guaymas, with an unusually large docket. The Guaymas jail is full of murderers and others liable to pay the penalty of their misdeeds by death. Two have already been shot, both being prisoners from Nogales, Sonora. One was a man who shot a Frenchman for the purpose of rob bery short time ago, and the other a former Nogales policeman, charged with passing counterfeit money. Both men were sentenced to terms in the Mexican army, and guards started with the prisoners to the Yaqui river, but returned and reported that the prisoners attempted to escape, and were killed. This is the usual method of getting rid of criminals whose crimes hardly merit the sentence of death. About fifteen other murderers will be tried at this term of court

The jury returned verdict this morning against Patrick and Jerome Ford of guilty of arson in the second degree, with a recommendation of mer- cy to the court. The crime for which they were convicted was the burning, in March, 1887, of the building belong ing to the estate of c. P. Stanton, at Weaver, of which Patrick Ford was administrator, and on which there was some $2 300 insurance. The evidence went to show that Jerry was in charge of the property and that he had re- ceived letter from his father, which he lost and which was found and read by other parties, who alleged that it contained instructions to burn the property. The latter was also seen approaching the building shortly be fore the fire. While the justness of the verdict is not questioned, consider able sympathy is felt for both parties Prescott Journal-Miner.

We learn from MT. Kingsbury, at torney for Chas Kopp and Robert J. Martin that their suit against G. H. Oury, for right of way for a ditch through his land, was tried before the probate court Wednesday last and re- suited in a judgment for the plaintiffs. The case involved the question of talk ing private property for private use which the courts have constantly held cannot be done. In Arizona we have a statute however, regulating the sub ject, and the judgment in Kopp's case was rendered in pursuance thereof. The bar generally is of the opinion that the statute is unconstitutional. However they may be, the principle when applied to irrigating countries is correct, for the obstinacy of private land holders in denying the right of way through their lands for a ditch should not be permitted to rctard the advancement and progress ofa country like ours, especially when adequate compensation in damages is allowed for the land.-Tempe News.

A Little More Consistency en. 1emen

One of the recent conferences of a ministerial sort passed q resolution denouncing the licensing of liquors, whether the license be high or low, and cOndemning any clergyman who should in any way indorse or encour- age the license system. The Globe Democrat says: Very well, so far, if such sentiments were conscientious. But the same body of ministers forth with voted down and out a resolution condemning the use of tobacco. Rea- son why, most of the brethren voting like the weed, and use it, but they do not like the beer, and have not to make any sacrifice to let it alone. But is that the way to do up your business, gentlemen? In the good book from which you preach there is a resolution that reads, ''I will eat no meat, if it make my brother to offend" Don't get things mixed.

Supreme ~Judgeship.

Judge G. D. Burgess, candidate
for the nomination for associate
judge of the Supreme Court, was
in Waynesville on yesterday. The
Judge is a very pleasant gentleman
and made a favorable impression
on our people. We, of course, are
for him, having known him per-
sonally from our boyhood, and
would be much pleased should the
vote of our county be cast for him
In the Springfield convention. We
doubt if a name will be presented
to the convention of a man possess
ing all the qualifications for the
place to a greater degree than does
Judge Burgess. The Cole County
Democrat, in speaking of him, has
this to say:
SIT is very evident that Judge G..
D. Burgess, of Linn county, is far
in the lead for the democratic nom-
nation for associate justice OF the
supreme court, 10 I'LL the place
shortly to be made vacant by the
expiration of the term of chief JUS
tiee Norton. Judge Burgess is not
only an able lawyer, but is one of
the ablest nisi prius judges in the
state, and a very popular man and
Judge. The circuit in which he
lives is largely republican, YET
Judge Burgess has been elected
circuit Judge of this circuit three
times in succession. He is a mar
of untiring energy, a close student,
and physically as able as any man
in the state to perform the arduous
labor now required of a judge Of
the supreme court.

MEXICO, Mo-, May 23.--I have re-
Gently been frequently asked if the
coming Sunday school convention
was not a UNCONVENTIONAL conven-
ton. I wish to say that the con-
vention is not UNCONVENTIONAL in
any sense of the word. All denom-
nations are earnestly requested
and expected to send delegates
from their Sunday schools; and
delegates who will come, and when
they come will talk and work and
sing, or do what they can to for
ward the good work and make the
convention a success. It is GER
tainly expected that every Sunday
school in Audrain county, every
one, will send at least one delegate
and thus show our visiting brethren
that Audrain county is interested in
Sunday school work.
Yours Truly,
