The Citizen received this nor


 The Citizen received this morning the following frem a special cores yondent at Solamonvile: News has lust been received here of a killing done at the Chiricahua Cattle Cos camp on the Boalta, tributary of the Gila. From what can be gathered from Jas. Lassiteer, a foreman Of the Cattle company. It seems some sheep men from Apache county have been grazing flock of sheep near the range of this company. winch brought on trouble on Thursday. Lassiteer $ story is that the sheepmen (MexicanS) ambushed his men, but the story is not believed as none of tls cattlemen were killed but all sbscmen met their death. The general opinion is that if there was an ambuScade the facts are different, to say the least, to those reported. Lassiteer says be- fore he left at g o'clock yesterday three Mexicdns were killed and he thought he saw two more drop as he left. The coroner. district attorney and under sheriff have gone te the scene of battle.
 The Governor has issued his procla- nation for special election on the 12th inst, for the election of member of the Territorial Assembly, vice $. W. Pomeroy resigned, and the board of supervisors have ordered the same. The proclamation was issued on Dec. 24.
 Ben. M. Crawford is 10 be clerk of the District court. Frank Dysart, formerly clerk for l. D. Solomon has been appointed member of the board of supervisors to fill the vacan- cy caused by the resignation of Wm. Whelan, who resigned to assume the dutleS of sheriff on January 1st.

New wexi Q, l;eavy Expenses.

The New Mexican says that for ths information of tke people of New Mex leo, and the taxpayers thereof. It will give few sample figures as 10 expen- ses of the Territorial government dur ing the past two years. In 1887 the total expenses were $265, ,355.42, of which the expenses fer courts alone amounted to $l64. 3S4. .25. In 1888, tue expenses, up to December 18th, 1888. were $247,539 g, to which the ex- penSes at the courts amounted to $l56,042 64, to Winch expenses for the late terms held in San Miguel and Grant and Sacorro counties are to ba added; which will add te the above amount at least S30,00O, so that the csurt expenses for 1889 will amount to fully $l85,000, and the general ex- penses to about $2o5,000. The Terri tory is, therefore, running behind at the rate of $10O,000 and oyer per year. The Optic calls attention to the New Mexican to the fact that a large part of these expenses were added by the legislature two years ago. This. shows the bad effects of inefficient legislation, and should be warning to the pres ent members.-Optic.

Sunday Laws.
(From the Florence Enterprise.l


 We have received from committee of the progressive people of Phenix, a copy of a petition memerializing the Territorial Legislature to enact laws for the restriction and suppression of the liquor traffic; tue punishment of gambling as misdemeanor, and the suspension of business and the cessa- tion from labor oR Sunday. While the two former subjects are proper matters of leglsla$Ive control, the lat tef-ss csrt.S Isugdgs T-.s sETse the ~Ioress day Ind Gay oNrest as taught in the Holy Nsrit, and the attempt to leglslate It into religious holiday IS the entering wedge to the ultimate attempt to centrel the con- science by the State. Our foreiathers, the early pilgrims to this continent, sought lis shores for the special pur- pose ef being enabled to worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience and to escape the repug- nant laws hat forbade them te do so. Our national constitution guarantees te all citizens that freedom of thought and worship that its cosmopolitan character requires, and an attempt ny overzealouS christians to force by stat utorY enactment all other people to believe as they haileve, and act as they act. and to rest when they rest. and 10 play the hypocrlte generally IS not only unconstitutional, but 1t Is 8 sp9- cies of slavery and bondage more gall ing than mere physical letters can be --the slavery of the conscience.

A New EiquId for Concentrating Ore.

According to the Denver Republi- can a fuid has been manufactured of a specific gravity four times that of water, and that will net blend or intermingle with water. Of course such liquid, If it can be cheaply con ceeted, will be 6 valuable appliance in ore dressing and separation. "Col. A. w Harris, prominent mining man of New Mexico" says the Republican, recently exhibited in Denver bot tie containing the liquid together with water, fragments of quartz and min thg het+4ezeeeld be violeR tly agitated, and in moment the fluid would separate from the water, the mineral sink to the bottom, and the quartz float on the fluid. between 1t and the water, which collected on top.
 "Celonel Harris stated that the dis cover of the liquld asserted that he could make 1t of any desired quantity, and that it could be made at about 15 cents per pound, the cost varying in proportioH to the specific gravity, and being about 25 per cent. of the cost of quicksilver. Should the discovery work as well in practice as it dees in a small way, and the less of the fluid not prove too great, it would seem that the question of economic ore con centration had been solved, and con- centrating belts, buddleS and jigs will soon be offered for sale at less than ten cents on the dollar of their origi- nal cost.

The Territories Rejoice.

Mr. F. L. Bonner, the well known 'cattleman and mine owner ef Mon tana, who is spending the winter in the East, in recent interview, said :: Mir. Cleveland's administration has been specially severe on us. Another fsur years of the same policy would ruin us completely. Montana was naturally Democratic, but thls year thousands of Democrats voted the Re- publican ticket. They were forced to do it in self-defense.
 Montana gave over 5000 majority to Harrison on the 9th of November It will be long time before that ma jority is overcome. Perhaps the most objectionable feature of the present administration to Montana was in the policy of the land office at Washing ton. MT. Sparks began war on the settlers the moment he entered the Land Office. Values were unsettled, and he made it impossible to get a clear title to anything. Even after hls removal there was little change. If the Territories had been conquered provinces they could not have been treated any worse.
 
 Silver and wool are the chief pred- ucts of Montana. and the Democratic party struck blow at these interests that would have been fatal. By reason of the attitude of Mr. Cleveland there was great rejoicing all over the north west when the news was received of General Harrisen'S election. If Mir. Cleveland had won it would have put us back eight years. Now everything with us is booming, and you will see something remarkable in the way of development Tn the northwest within the next few years.
