CLEVELAND AND REEORN
He Writes a Letter Pointing Out the
Opportuneness of Tariff Reform.

New YORK, Dec. 11.-At the meeting of the
Reform club last night the following letter was
read:
''New York. Nov 80, 1885, Chairman Of COM
mittee on tariff reform OF the Reform club:
Dear Sir: have been much interos; d in
an examination of the practical work d,oe by
your committee and / am thoroughly con-
vinced that the further prosecution of this
work within the lines which have been laid
down is Of the utmost importance.
"There is no doubt that now is the time for
efforts and activity in this direction. The COM
ing winter months, when those you look to
reach with economic truths are at leisure and
free from the disturbing influence of political
heat, are Of infinitely more value in your labor
than double time at another period when leis-
ure and calm judgments are wanting / in
close a small contribution in aid of the immedi-
ate continuation of the good work / wish I
felt able to send you much larger subscrip-
ton. Yours, very truly,
GROVER CLEyEIANp."

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE business done in
the stock market this morning was very mod
crate in volume, there being only three active
stocks, sugar refineries, New England and Chi
cago gas, and OF these only the first named
showed any feature Of interest. First prices
were only slightly changed from those Of last
evening but were generally lower, and although
the tendency in the early dealings was upward
the changes were for the smallest fractions
only, except in the trusts. Sugar was most
active and was decidedly weak and opening un-

6l11 but could not hold the improvement Chi
cago gas opened up Is at 421SS, but declined to
4lss. The general list presented no feature

The Apache I .dians.

A Washington press dispatch sa. the people of Arizona have learned that Geronimo and his band of Apacl- es are to be returned that territory. The authorities at the War Depart ment declare this statement wi,ho, t foundation. "Gerouimo and his ban will never be returned to Arizona, said Adjt. Gen. Kelton to-day. "I do not see how such an idea originated. The fact that Capt Pierce, of Benicia Arsenal, has been ordered East for consultation regarding the Apaches may have given rise to the thought that these Indians are to be again allowed to roam at will in their natl mountains"
 Then Gen. Kelton explained that few weeks ago the Indian Rights As sociation, ot Boston, held an extended interview through their Chairman with Gen. o. 0. Howard upon the subje, t of further civilizing the Ap ches, now numbering 3SO souls, located in the mountains of Northern Alabama. That conference resulted in elahorat- ing d scheme for locating these Aapaches in another State and on permanent reservation, where they can be gradually initiated into the meth ods of self-support and more perfect civillza ion. Capt. John Bourke, of the Sd Infantry, in company with Prof. Painter, of the Indian Rights Asso- citation, is now tra, cling through the Southern States for the purpose of negotiating for lands on which the small band of Apaches may be placed. The Indians themselves desire to re- main where they are. The country in which they live is mountainous and in many respects similar to their ancient home from which they are exiled. The white people Tn their immediate neighborhood, howes CT, object to their presence. Since their residence in Alabama the Apaches, with two notable exceptions, have ob served the usual prOprieties of peace, but their general reputation for blood for neighborly qualities.
 "It is not generally known" con- tinued Gen. Kelton, that tn re is q 'ite large settlement ot $ ;minole In lians already located in the north ern mountains of North Carolina, but such is the Iact. They are not only civilized, but they have the right to 70 e. They do vote, and vote the Re publican ticket at that It is quite probable that the gentlemen engaged in selecting permanent location f T the Apaches will decide upon some mountainous region along the Atlan- | tic coast. In fact, the location is about settled upon, and when every thing is definitely arranged Geronimo, who IS now in exile, will be restored to his tribe, and sent with them to their new home. But not one of the Apaches will ever again see his native | mountains In Arizona"

A Worthy Object.

The various canals in the valley are making preliminary arrangements looking to the proposition of water storage, and to this end meeting of the directors of the Arizona, Utah, Grand, Maricopa, Mesa and Salt river canals was held yesterday, and after effecting temporary organization the meeting adjourned to meet Saturday next at g o'clock.
 No one will deny that the question of water storage Is one of paramount interest to the settlers of this valley and one ill which they all have an abiding interest, and we trust and hope these various strong canal or ganizations will not relax their efforts until this purpose has been accom- plished. .-Phenix Gazette.

Latest Novelties in Fans.

Rummaging among past relics of fnery, some of our readers may perhaps remember to have come across a round fan which would fold up into small compass, and, when ex- telseais tsarteGA s= tho Iaslts-s o-5 ! t-4sld screen Recognizing the appropriateness of this design to the empire style of dress, the ingenious designer has adapted it to the taste of the present day. In the new fan the sticks arc formed of curved pieces of tortoise shell, which by their extreme fexibility become concave or convex as they are waved to and fro, and thus produce much better current of air than if they were rigid. The bordering of this circular fan is ornamented with ostrich feathers, and bow of a harmonizing shade of ribbon adorns the center
 second fan has a foundation of semi transparent gauge down each radiant to which is sewn a narrow row of lace. The lace, being only attached by the inner edge, falls lightly from side to side, and as it does so reveals garlands of roses and other flowers which are painted on the gauge beneath An other fan is trimmed with loops of beads upon lace or gauge, which also produce pretty effect. Each of these fans may be had in black, white and several colors.

samna and the samoans.

Our young readers can hardly fail to be moro or less interested in Samoa and the Sa- means, now that there is so much said and written in connection with the Samoa ques tion
 This group of islands lies in the South Pa. ciic, about two-thirds of the way from the coasts of Central Peru to those of Northern Australia. Ten of tlfeslandS are inhabited There IS a population of 35,U00, all native. with the exception of three or four hundred whites. They are handsome race. The mer are tall and well formed The women are much smaller and stouter than the men ano have fiat noses. The complexion of this rae is light brown. They do not kiss each other as we do but press their faces together ant rub noses instead. For the most part their clothing is nothing but strip of cloth wound about the waist, falling half way to the knees The men are all tattooed. The chiefs wear garlands of flowers.
 They live in huts made of bamboo There are no walls, but when it becomes necessary to shut out the wind, rain or sun, mats made of cocoanut leaves are let down The floorl are made of pebbles They have no beds but sleep on mats spread upon the floor Pill lows are made of a length of bamboo resting on legs. They cook i'll a hole scoOped out of the floor, and lined with large pebbles There they cook their bread fruit and fish. The bread fruit looks like large osage orange and tastes like sweet potatoes when it is roasted

COchise County.

Over one-half of the area of Arizona has been recorded as grazing land. This grazing land is all fit for cultlva- tion was 1t but supplied with water for irrigating purposes. Cochise coun- ty contains an area of nearly 5000 square miles or 3,S40,000 acres. Of this area fully l ,5O00OO is adapted to the raising ol all kinds of fruits, vege- tables and produce This land would if cut up into I60 acre tracts, make 9575 farms and support that number of families or a population of at least 2S,0OO souls. The climate is one of the most healihful imaginable. Dur ing the months of May and June this year the thermometer has not risen above 99 degrees in the day time, while the daily average for the month of June will not reach 90 drgrees of maximum; or the daily minimum, or temperature of the nights, average over 65 degrees. The month of June, 1t should be remembered, is the hot test month of the year, July and Aug ust being much cooler owing to these two months being the wet months, when rain falls nearly every day There is positively no more desirable climate for out of door life under the sun. Dew and fog are unknown,
 making the evenings perfectly safe for d person with the weakest lungs to en- joy without fear of danger from ex- posture. Arizuna's mountains and valleys will soon be recognized as the most perfect health resort on the American continent. A country in which the rainfall will average during the year 22 inches can never be called desert country. The fact that the water sinks out of sight almost as soon as It has touched the earth Is another argument i'll favor of farming becom- ing more profitable than 1t would did the water remain upon the top of the ground to evaporate. Nature has planned underground reservoirs or the storage of this valuable element, where It rests awaiting but the Ingenuity of man 10 bring it to the surface and utilize it for his own gain.-Prospector.

Getting Around the Alien Act.

The simple, ingenious, straightfor- ward way that the Lady Franklin Company has adopted to get around the difficulty raised by the demagogic alien law, which tried to prevent our miners from seeking the aid of foreign capital by refusing to allow foreigners 10 acquire title to mining properties, will doubtless be followed by other mine-owners who want to place their mines abroad. The man wishing to dispose of his properties will, until this section of the alien law is repeal ed, instead of selling outright, give a lease on his property for a long term of years, at rental of $1 per year, while real consideration will be paid him just ill the same way it would have been paid if he had sold it out right. This appears to be an extreme ly simple way of getting around this clause of the alien law, which has al ready proved deterimental to our mine-owners. Far better, though than getting around the difficulty, even in this simple way, would be the repeal of this obnoxious section of the law. Calls for its repeal have been heard from all the mining regions of the West since its passage, and is to be trusted that it may be removed from the statute books.-Sierra County N. NJ. Advocate.

VALUABLE MINE.
The Chief Group Situated Between the QuljOtoa and the VekoI-SOme very
 Rich Ore-A & Foot Ledge.

MT. Frank Brownell was in Tucson yesterday, leaving last night for Chica go, where he goes on business. Mir. brownell in partnership with MT. c. P. Ford own group of mines half way between the luiJotoa and the Ve- kol known as the Chief Group of Silver mines that has recently devel- oped into d property that bids fair to equal any silHer mine ever worked in Arizona. The prospects of such a re- suit are certainly very good. The group Is composed of the Chief and Bay State, located adjoining on one ledge and the Chloride, Victor and Cam bridge on an adjoining ledge. The ore IOund in these claims Is free mill tug and abounds in large quantities, the ledge having been cut 32 feet. The ore from the Chief shows ore that will go 56 ounces and the rock is all scanned with chlorides.
 The Chloride mine shows four foot ledge of horn silver and chloride ore that will go lz5 ounces on lair test. From this claim some of the richest ore found in the group has peen encountered, several assays show ing over I5UO ounces.
 These mines have been worked by Messrs. Brownell & rord for two years Over 500 feet of work has been done on the Chief, including Ill clines and shafts. Seven shafts have been opened all in ore, ranging in depth from Z7 to 46 feet. The incline Is IOJ feet deep all in ore. The Day State is con mutation of the Chie out little work has been done on 1t.
 On the Chloride claim ouU feet O. work has been done. A shalt Is down 52 feet all i'll ore, and the vein strip ped for zUO ieet west or the shalt, wi h oU tons of ore on the dump. The Cambridge is a continuation oi the Chloride, showing q large body of the same kind of ore. Assays from this claim went 1S4 ounces at the samp- in. works ill Tucson. tn this claim an incline has been run Is feet.
 The Victor shows the same ore as iound in the Cambridge and Chloride The work done on this claim is simpl, .tn IS foot incline.
 The vein on which this group is To- cated has been cut g feet, and the ore continues to improve as depth is at iained. Over 500 tons Is now on the various dumps, which on the whole will average 56 ounces. The mine are 50 miles south of Casa Grande.
 Four good roads lead to he caml from Tucson, Quijotoa, Vekol and Casa Grande. Wood and water are both abundant. A well 70 feet has at ! feet of water standing in it now. This camp has not yet been named, but ,he outlook now is that it will soon become well known throughout u { Territory.-Citizen.

Gloves for All Occasions.

Gloves for morning walks and general wear are of dressed kid, corded on the back, not widely embroidered, and fastened smoothly on the wrists by four large gilt buttons; they are either tan colored, gray or black. For afternoon visits and receptions suede mousque- taire gloves are worn in eight button lengths, quite plain on the back, and these also are in tan and gray shades. Dress gloves are very similar to suede mousquetaires, but are of twelve to thirty button lengths, reaching up to the sleeves of the evening gown, and may be tan colored, gray, white or black. All dress gloves are quite plain on the back.
 The sac gloves, loose wristed without but tons, draw off and on easily, and are chosen quite large for the country, for travelling and for steamer use: they come in suede, in glace kid and in heavy doeskin; tan, channels color, gray and black sac gloves are for general use, and white sac gloves are especially liked with yachting gowns Riding and driving gloves of heavy kid are now made short like mems gloves to fasten with only one large button, and are also worn longer with four buttons at the wrists, There are also til buried driving gloves, heavy doeskin faced inside the hand with kid to prevent the reins from slipping.-Harper's Bazar.
