Some Democratic papers are still
ranting about "hard times" and en-.
deavor TO make their ignorant rea-
ders believe that the tariff is the
cause of the people not having their
pockets full of money. But the
most ignorant, who can read and
understand the signs Of the times,
know that under the starry banner
of protection this country is pros.
Pering as it never prespered before,
and that as long as true Americans
remain ut the helm Of government
these United States will continue
to prosper. Protection has nothing
to do with the Lord failing to send
rain on the head of Twelve Pole

Cochise County.

The board of supervisors of Cochise county have been prompt to take ad- vantage of good opportunity to adver tise their resources. They have already printed and circulated the report of the committee appointed to collect facts and data for the Senatorial Committee on irrigation and reclamation of arid lands. It makes splendid showing for that county, and reflects credit on those who prepared it. Besides the report of the committee, many facts of interest pertaining to the mining, stock and ag- riculturaf interests of Cochise and other counties in Southern Arizona has been collected and included in the printed pamphlet. The circulation of this in formation will bring good results, and attract the attention of those who are looking to the west for homes and in- vestments. The pamphlet is gotten up in an attractive manner and is illustrat- ed throughout. The work was done by the Prospector, and the job is one that no office would be ashamed to turn out.

From Crittenden.

The CITIZEN obtains the following items from Judge Edward Vanderlip, of Crittenden, who is in the city as trial juror in the District Court this week.
 It is reported that the Company, who recently purchased the Hensley Copper mines at Washington Camp, have made arrangements to use the Crittenden smelter for the reduction of their ores for the present, and that they will start up in short time.
 Col. John Weir has forty men at work, connected with the concentration of ore from the Fl Plomo mines.
 The rains have not been very general in the vicinity of Crittenden this season, and it was feared that the grass crop would be an entire failure, but recent rains have started the grass to growing rapidly and fair crop of hay will be the result.
 Ore shipments from Crittenden con- tinues steadily. Bullion from Mir. Fin lays mill at Harshaw, arrives every week. Considerable high grade ore is also being shipped from the Blue Nose mine, and Craycroft and Sargent are also shipping good ore from the Salero district.
 The operating of the Hensley mines will bring CritJenden to the front again as business point.
 The health of the entire Sonoita Valley has been good this summer.
 The school in Crittenden has been running since the 9th inst, with Mr. l.. l.. Rhodes, as teacher. The school will only be for four months.

Something New and Good.

Col. Durr has again made step for ward as a public benefactor. It had come to his ears recently, that some of the ladies of Tucson were complaining about the beer sold in this city being bitter. Being on confidential terms with his grandmother, famous old lady who has spent her life in studying the likes and dislikes of her sex, he wrote her. explaining what was the matter with the ladies of Tucson. The grandmother knew at once the remedy, and straight way sent a carload of the celebrated Extra Pale Erlanger Standard Beer. This beer arrived yesterday, and has been sampled by the best judges in this city, and pronounced the best family beer in the West. It is just the thing for the ladies, and no bitter taste is car ried with it. The Colonel asks that every family try few bottles of this beer, and feels confident that they will have nc other afterwards. The grandmother has never made mistake about the wants and needs of Tucson, and will answer for the satisfaction given by this new beer with her reputation, which is good
 The Colonel has been instructed to sell this beer at SIP per bbl and S2.20 pel doz so that all may share in the luxury end benefits afforded by its use.

The History Company of 723 Market street, San Francisco, Cal, have just issued in bool; form, complete history of the Johns town flood, finely illustrated and com plete in nearly 5O0pages. The book will be sold through agents. See advertise ment in another column for agents, to whom most liberal terms are offered.

At Col. Durr's Place.

It was learned yesterday from the | Colonel himself, who was taught to all ways speak the truth by his good grand mother, that since he moved his business from Meyer to Congress street, his bus | mess had increased in volume from day to day. He now sells one car load of John Wieland's beer every three weeks. and more than car load of Anheuser- Bush beer. in the same length of time. Beer Is only one branch of the large business now carried on by Col. Durr, at his corner on Congress street. Swiss cheese Is received in ponderous cases direct from the old country, and his sales amount to over 700 pounds month; also California cheese is hand jed in large quantities, and the finest of mberger cheese is always kept on hand, though the sales are not enormous ly large.
 His cigars are all made specially for him and are sold at wholesale and retail.
 THE wARUM DARUM BRAND
 is we'll known and has no superior for the price. The latest brand is the Tip pecanoe, and it is equal to any cigar to be had in this market
 Queen olives, the best ever offered in this market, are received direct from Spain, in huge casks.
 In the cellar is kept fine Sherry wIne, dozens of barrels, and everything that is better by being kept in a cool place.
 Whiskey is received from not only all over the United States, but much direct from the old country, three or four of the best brands made in Hamburg. In one room alone, the reporter counted
 155 BARRELS OF wHIsKEY,
 and including wines and brandies, his present stock would not fall short of 300 barrels and kegs. Also choice brand of mescal is handled for the benefit of those who like it.
 Besides, all the finest bitters known to mankind, are kept, many of them being imported. In fact, everything in the way of saloon supplies Is kept, and noth- ing but the best quality is sold.
 IN ANOTHER DEPARTMENT was found bacon, ham, lard, ,pickled pork, dried fish of all kinds, corned beef, tongue, pickled tongue, pigs feet, saur kraut and vinegar, crackers, tobacco, mustard, chow chow, deviled ham, ham berger eel, and every table delicacy. Something new was exhibited: box of dried lax, one of the finest fish known, and found only in the waters of Norway.

A Damaging Rain.

One of the heaviest rains fell here las night that has visited Tucson this sea son. It poured in perfect torrents, anC the rainfall must have been fully 9: inches The streets were flooded witt rushing waters, and the city is as clear as new pin this morning, everything movable being washed away.
 The Congregational church suffered considerable damage, the spire in the southeast corner tumbling to the ground It was in an unfinished condition, and while it will not prove a serious damage it will entail an expense in making the necessary repairs.
 Several adobe walls were washed down in different parts of town, and the new building on Alameda street belong ing to Mrs. Kelly, was cracked, caused by settling of the foundation.
 Mir. E. l.. Wetmore reports the exact rainfall last night to have been 2:3C inches. Total for the month 3.13. The rainfall for 1889 will show an increase over any for several years.
 The mesa corn crops received a boost last night that will carry them long way towards maturity.
 STORM NOTES.
 The building owned by MT. A. Roth child on Convent street, was badly dam aged. 4 fifty foot adobe wall was washed down. taking away the bathroom and wood house-two good-sized rooms.
 In the building directly south of the Rothchild house the water backed up into the house to the depth of over r inches, and trench had to be cut through the front door to let the water out into Convent street.
 A building on Mccormick street be- tween Stone avenue and Convent, about a half block south of the Rothchild building was struck by lightning, shat tering a flag pole to kindliEg wood and knocking off the corner of the house.
 A building on Mccormick street, be- tween Main and Meyer was also struck by lightning, severing it completely in twain, leaving an opening Is inches wide between the kitchen and the main building.
 The new residence of pr. Odermatt was badly damaged. He has been put ting on a new roof, and had removed the old dirt roof spouts. Where each spout had been the water cut great gull leys Tn each side of the adobe walls. The mud and water poured into the rooms by the tub full, running carpets and spatterlng furniture. MT. Odermatt and some of his neighbors dId heroic work in catching the water and mud in buckets and carrying it out, and thereby prevented much damage that otherwise would have resul ed to the interior of the building. AS it is, the damage is considerable, and will require considerable expense to repair it.

Committee on Irrigation.

That portion of the Senatorial com mittee passing through Tucson, have agreed to present to the U; s. senate. at it's next session, with a minority re- port on the advantages etc., Obtainable by congressional aid, for constructing canals, building reservoirs, dams, etc., be- cause they do not believe in expending the money of the people for the above purposes as long as the AERMOTOR windmill is in the market.
 Because it is the only mill that will answer for irrigatlng in this Territory.
 Because it will be sold as cheap as sec ond class mills.
 Because it is easiest to erect.
 Because the wheel rides on a loose gun metal ring, between two perfectly turned surfaces, by which arrangement an oil cup is formed.
 Because it is the latest patent.
 Because the wheel is made entirely of steel, and therefore, will last almost a lifetime.
 Because it grinds, cuts feed, shells corn, or saws wood.
 Because tourists admire the beauty of the AERMOTOR being an ornament to any home.
 Because it possesses the trim beauty of the greyhound or thoroughbred.
 Because it faces up to breath of air, and does effective work while other rat tie traps are idle
 Because no matter how fast the wheel runs, there IS nothing to shake loose, crack, or break.
 Because the wheel makes three revo- l,,4 t<, ,4- of4 sequently starts easier under a heavy load.
 Because a 12 foot wheel will do more work than any other 16 foot wooden wheel made, which shows an increase of power of B l5 per cent.
 Because 1t is more enduring than wooG. The AERMOTOR will not shrink, rattle, rot, nor warp, and the Arizona sun. wind, or rain, will have no effect on it.
 Because it is perfectly noiseless. You can set your cot right under the mill and go to sleep without hearing or knowing that the mill is pumping 2OOC gallons of water an hour. Did you ever hear the din and chatter of other mills?
 Because it is self-regulating; the vane will not allow the wheel to go over cer- 1 tain speed when 1t turns the wheel slightly out of the wind, and the wheel does not stop like other mills, but quick ly recovers when the wind goes down. Because you can bring the wheel down to the ground for oiling in less than a minute, therefore no one will be exposed to severe cold, or intense heat Nor will anyone break his neck by climbing to the top of the tower. Fol the above reasons, parties desiring to purchase wind-mills will do we'll to sef them work, as several mills will be pu; up near Tucson, Clifton, Casa Grande Florence and Maricopa. For the above places mills are on the road, and more will be ordered for other places Tn short ] order. Address,

From Clifton.

Several gentlemen are in the city from Clifton, among them Judge M. J. Egan and eX-Sheriff Ben Crawford, who is now resident of that camp. Clifton is holding its own as copper camp, and the Arizona Copper Company have con- tinued to produce bullion and matte through all the fluctuations of the cop per market. This company has been the steadiest producer in Arizona, and been continually in operation for many years.
 The Detroit Copper Company, with smelting and reduction plants at Mor- enci, temporarily suspended operations for two or three months after the lower ing of the price of copper, but resumed operations last week. The shut down was only pending negotiations for reduc- tion of freight rates over the Arizona and New Mexico railroad. When the price of copper advanced two or three years ago the railroad advanced the rates from SS to SIP per ton, and the copper company asked for the old Se rate when the collapse came this spring A reduction was made and work was resumed.
 The Clifton Clarion has suspended puDllCdllOH, anu OllllOu lS HOW WlGHOul an organ. The former editor, w. w Jones, has taken refuge in the noun tains to recuperate his failing health while editor P J. Clark, who issued the last two numbers of the Clarion, hal resumed his seat behind a stud-horse poker table in John Hovey's saloon.
 MT. John Hovey has been making some improvements on his property which has added much to the appear ance of Clifton, as seen from the rail road.
 There are a number of mining oper ations being carried on in the hills about Clifton, and shipments are made regularly, some of them running very | high.
