ANY thoughtful and practical man
 who will take the trouble to estimate
 the amount of high-grade ore shipped
 from the territory for treatment abroad,
 will wonder what sort of business
 men our miners are, when they pay out the cost of Eome reduction many times
 over each year, in transportation alone. 1t is indeed true that the aggregate sum Of the individual shipments of ore is sui ficient to keep large mills in operation in this city and the retention of many thousands of dollars among our people. This being true, what can be expected from the hundreds of adjacent mines with their supply of from few tons up- wards of ore, that the owners fear to take the chances of expensive shipment on; and the vast amount of second grade ore worth all tho way up to eighty ounces in silver per ton. There are many mines adjacent to this city that yield plenty of ore not rich enough to ship with profit, but of sufficient high grade to supply home works. Many of these are now idle, for lack of develop ment funds, but they would all be worked vigorously if ready sale could be had here for their mineral products. It is reasonable to suppose that some of them will develop into good and valua- ble mines, and for many years they can be depended upon for a steady ore sup ply. There are hundreds of prospec- tors even so far as the Quiiotoas that would augment the ore supply of local works. The inspiration of cash mar ket for all the ore that can be presented will encourage the industrious miners to greater efforts, and will result in not only an increased supply of profitable ores, but in general prosperity that will be felt in every channel of trade.

WHATEvER may be said of New Mex ico is likewise applicable to Arizona. The following from the Silver City En- terprise can be read with profit and in terest: "The great future of New Mex ico is in the storage of storm waters. It can be done at a moderate expense, and no safer investment of money can be made. 4 water right is absolutely un- der the control of stockholders, while in the majority of the big stock enterprises, such as railroads. mines and many other corporations, the capitalists are at the mercy of the managers. Freight and passenger agents can cut rates and run the road at loss for an entire season and the stockholders seem powerless to pre- vent it. An investment in a ditch enter prise is free from any such possibilities, and unlike the railroad, or almost any other enterprise, the older it becomes thefewer are the repairs needed, conse- quently the running expenses become less every year. The ditch grows bet ter, and stronger each year, forming a sediment in its bed which prevents the water from percolation. All this talk about the large amount of evaporation has been demonstrated by practical tests to be mere bosh. There is no- thing in it. The evaporation amounts to only trife. As before stated no safer investment can be made than in ditch property, and we are glad that eastern capitalists are beginning to real ] ize this fact"

Superstition About Storms.

Caverns were supposed by the Ro- mans to be secure places of refuge during thunder storms, and they be- Geved that lightning never penetrated more than two yards into the earth. Acting on this superstition the Elm peror Augustus used to withdraw into some deep vault of the palace when ever a temptest was feared, and it is recorded by Suetonius that he always wore a skin of seal around his body as a protection against lightning. That both precautions are equally unavail- ing need scarcely be mentioned.
 Lightning has been known to strike ten feet into the earth; but not even the marvellous accuracy of modern science can determine at what distance from the surface a safe retreat may be found from the descending fluid; and even were this ascertained, the dan gers from ascending electric currents remain the same. With regard to seal skins, we find that the Romans attach ed so much faith to them as non-con- ductors that tents were made of them, beneath which the timid used to take refuge.
 It is curious fact that in the neigh borhood of Mount Cavennes, in the Languedoc, where anciently some Ro- man colonies were known to have ex- isted, the shepherds cherished a simi- lar superstition regarding the skins of serpents. These they carefully col lect, and, having covered their hats withal, believe themselves secure against the danger of the storm. NJ. Labossiere is disposed to see link of interesting analogy between the leg end which yet fingers in the mind of the peasant of Cavennes and the most costly superstition held in reverence Jy his Latin ancestors.-New York Mail and Express.

ATTACKED BY 4 COUGAR.
A Hunters Desperate Fight in the South-
 ern Oregon Mountains.

ern mOunIlinS.
 Intelligence has been received here from southern Oregon of the unfortu- nate result of a conflict between a hunter and cougar. Ira Hill and companion of Jackson county had for several days been encamped in the mountains about ten miles distant from the Cow creek canyon. They had met with much success in the pursuit of deer.
 Warned by the abundance of signs" they had exercised great eau ton for their protection against the large carniverous animals which in- fest that region. NIT. Hill, it appears, on the day in question shot and wounded a large buck Notwith- standing the severe injury, the ami nal. as it frequently happens, bound cd away. Judging from the action of the deer that the bullet had found its mark, the hunter clambered down the mountain side to the point where the animal stood when the shot was fired.
 An investigation verified his suppo- sition. Hoping that the shot would soon prove fatal, he traced, by the blood in the trail, the flight of the deer, several times seeing it, but never obtaining an opportunity to finish him. Wrapped in the excitement of the chase, time passed unheeded. Nearly exhausted with the severity of the labor, and despairing of success, he began to retrace his steps. Night overlook him, and with it came that peculiar deathlike mountain silence. The gentleman confesses that he was overawed and frightened by the soli- tude and gloom. After debating in his mind the adviSability of halting for the night, he decided to push on, hoping to find his permanent camp and relieve the anxiety of his friend
 While descending ridge which ran up from a dark and narrow canyon, without any warning he was attacked by an enormous cougar. In this hand-to-hand conflict the rife was useless Dropping that weapon, he drew his hunting knife and made what. effort he could to defend him. self. For some time they fought with the advantage greatly upon the side of the cougar. While the struggle was at its height, approaching near the edge of steep declivity, man and beast both went rolling down the gulch.
 Weakened by the loss of blood and stunned by contact with rocks and powders, consciousness forsook the hunter. He remained in this condi- ton until well nigh morning. Re membering the strength and ferocity of his antagonist, and fearing that ii still lurked in the immediate vicinity, he remained motionless until sun up.
 When he did arise no trace of the animal could be found Fearfully bitten, scratched and bruised, he made his painful way to camp, and thence to point where the services of a sur geon could be secured.-Portland Ore gonian.

Now that the cold weather is close at hand, and the chilly blasts of the north and northwest make the denizens of that chilly cline think of migrating to more temperate zone, we, the most fla vored of all, look forward to the az preaching change with joy-for winter time in this Territory cannot be realized unless experienced. The cold weather of last winter disgusted thousands- hundreds of thousands-and all who are able, and can leave, are seeking warmer climates for their future residence. It seems to be a serious question with California what to do with the influx of tourists, as that already ovorcrowded state is, and has been, suffering from her crowded and unemployed masses. True, they have 'climate" there, but that arti- cie IS also here, of a better quality" and in conjunction herewith, employ ment for all who seek labor. California cannot say so much-nor can any other state in the Union. Arizona has vacant lands for all who desire to come here, and if a few thousand saving and industrious people will come here to make themselves homes and work for a living, they can be accommodated, and will in the end bless the day they saw and felt the sunlight of this glorious territory, and took hand in cultivating its fertile soil. We do not wish to decry the resources, etc., of the Golden State, in order to enhance those of Arizona, in comparison; nothing is farther from our object. We wish to show Arizona to the outside world in her true state, and will not compare her to California, for comparison there is none! They have their 'climate," certainly; what country has not? But the immigrant cannot always subsist upon this luxury alone. He can make herr an independent home, and enjoy climatic exuberance that would make the Californian optic flow with arUesian force, in envy of the territory she has so often dubbed as "Apache land" and the home of the reptile. To those about to seek them selves new homes, we would say: Come to Arizona! This is the spot you are looking for, and when once you are within it's sun-kissed boundry, we feel confident you will stay.
