Advocates of Statehood are making much of the announcement tele- graphed from Washington, ts the sf- feet that Attorney General Miller in reply to an inquiry from Governor Welfsy, has pronounced valid tho act of the 18th legislative assembly of Arizona, to provide for the holding of convention for the purpose of fram- ing State constitution. While the validity of the act may be beyond dis- pute, no argument in support of the expediency of calling 2 convention has been advanced, nor can thsre be. The Step is premature; there is. 40 proba- bility of Arizona being admitted to Statehood, even were 1t shown to be desirable, and taxpayers will condemn q measure which only adds largely to tie Territorial indebtedness, without sfsring any compensating benefits.

A remarkable though unsuccessful experiment was tried in the Idaho mine, California, with the hope of ex- tinguishing the fire which had been burning for some days in the lower levels, and recovering the bodies of the two unfortunate miners who lost their lives by suffocation. I've men encaSed in divers armor and provided with an electric light, descended into the fiery abyss to the 100o-foot level At the 900-level a candle was eutin- guished by the gas and the electric light so impaired as to present the appearance of being enc.cled by thick smoke, Upon nearing the 1oO0foo. level the heat became so intense that an sye-glass in one of tue helmets was cracked and the rubber around the mems wrists began to melt The danger to the mems lives was in. creased by the failure of the valves to work which provided for the escape of the vitiated air, the valve requiring the pressure of water to operate it. Neither was the air provided for them to breath pure. and these causes com bined rendered the attempt futile. However, the experiment is likely to result in the perfecting of a suIt which will be indestructable and of value for exploring burning mines.

A novel, and what promises to

A novel, and what promises to be an important invention, Is being thor oughly tested by the American Pas toral Company of Amarillo, Texas. It is no less than an electric fence for confnipg stock. A dynamo generates moderate current of electricity which is transmitted over the wires forming the fence, and the. anlmal coming in contact with it receives 8 shock which efi'ectually discaurages 1t from mol keying around the harmless looking wires, The Pastoral company has 30 miles of fence charged with electricity, and if the experiment. proves satisfac- tory.it will doubtless supersede barbed wire to a considerable extent,

Maj ], w. Powell, who Is as good authority as we have, writes that in his judgment tree planting does not increase rainfall or aid in reclalming ard lands in that easy and direct man ner. But trees serve to equaiize at mospheric conditions and aid the soil and air Tn retaining he rain that does fall. He believes that by tree plant ing to supplement irrigating methods, nearly all ard lands may be reclaimed fer tillage, and that some of our worst wastes will become our best pasture lands and most productive farms.

MINEs ABE MADE, NSr FOUND.

It is an uncontrovertable fact that the best mines and largest dividend payers in the country have been made 50 only by tue expenditure of large sums of money, and after years of de- velopment work. The mine that pays from the grass roots is rare excep- ton. The Granite Mountain mlne of Deer Lodge, Montana, which pays it's $2, 100000 dividends annually, IS an example in point. After more than a years continuous work and the expen- dIture of more than $lO0, coo, the own CTS became discouraged and were on the point of abandoning work when the news was flashed over the wire that an important strike had been made. Money was raised to continue development and ln short time vast bodies of ore were uncovered, and tue stock of the company which had been offered at 35 cents per sharo advanced in few months to S69, and the few fortunate holders were made million aires almost before they could realize their luck.
 The Ontario mine, of Utah, Is a brilliant example of what pluck and money will do under competent man agement, The Ontario was diseev- cred in 1872, and seeH after sold for S30,000 to It's present owners, Haggin, Tevis and Hearst, In development S200,000 was spent in the following two years, with only $40,000 received from ore sales, In 1874 stock com pany was formed, and reorganized two years later with a capital stock of Sl0,000,000. The Ontario pald its first dividend of 50 cents share in April, 1877, nearly five years after it's discovery. The owners had expended in purchase, development, machinery, etc., and sustained in losses by fire upwards of Sl,500000 The tetal dividends to date reach the handsome figure of about Sl0,000,00o. The total amount of cuttings in the Ontario ex- ceeds 30 miles. The ore runs from $40 to Sl00 per ton about 90 per cent is saved in the mills, and the total cost of operating IS about $50 per ton. The mine has produced S23,000,000 in sll- yer bullion, and is still in good con. ditIeu, promising many years of sue. cessinl output.

THE CONVICTION or INNOCENT MEN.

Instances are not infrequeEt in criminal jurisprudence where prison CTS have been condemned to death, or long terms of imprisonment, solely upon their supposed identification by witnesses, and who have subsequently, been proven innocent, often when 1t was too late to rectify the fearful mis- take, Such case has just transpired in New Mexico, and, fortunately, has resulted in the release from the peni- tentiary, after confinement of more than year, of George Harris and Charles Jordan, and thelr complete ex0neratien from the crime of which they were convicted. The men were arrested the day following an assault upon a passenger conductor on the Santa Fe railroad, at the junction with the Atlantic X Pacific They were travelling afoot on the track in the direction of Socorro, were arrested on susplcion, held to appear before the grand jury, indicted by that body, the conductor positively identifying liar ns as his assailant The men were indicted under the law of the TerritO- ry making the crime capital otiense, and although protesting their inno- cence, the fear of forfeiting their lives on the gallows prompted them to plead guilty, and they were given five years sentence.
 Months after the unfortunate men were consigned to the gloom Of prison cells, branded as criminals and summed by their fellowmen, culprit, convicted of another crime, confessed to having made the assault for which Harris and Jordan were condemned. Many months were consumed Tn dil- atery investigation when the inno- eenee of Harris and Jordan was fully established, and only few days since the Governor of New Mexico signed their pardon. The ignominy of thelr
 incarceration, and the mental anguish which they suffered many long months can never be requted, but it would be only meet for the Territory to pay them money compensation, which would be but a paltry recompense for the terrible wrong inflicted upon them. There IS little hope of this bsing done, since the law makes no such provision.
 This case will revive interest in the cases of the men held for participation in the Wham robbery, since they were all held in consequence ot their iden- tidcation by Majsr Wham and mem bers of his escort although in the examination of some of the men, ad. diLional evidence of damaging char. acter was adduced Ellison, alias Cyclone Bill" was identified as hay ing been seen at the time of the rob bery and participated in the murder ous attack, and yet he succeeded, with unimpeachable witnesses, in proying an alibi, and was released from custo- dy. It is sincerely 10 be hoped that the perpetrators of that crime will be inextrieably entwiued by chain of evidence which will leave dc doubt as to their guilt.

Irricating the Sahara.

l saw, says Paris letter, a fac
simile of an enterprise commenced
by the province Of Algeria, which
bids fair to revolutiolize large
portion of the world. 1t was the
representation in miniature of the
third plantation Of 10000 palm trees
in the desert of Sahara as ar
tificial Gases on the lines of the
principal routes OF travel. These
have all been perfectly successful.
The trees have grown magniiiciently
and become source of refresh
ment and rest, which put aside the
risks and dangers of the deserts.
The system is based upon the pro-
duction of water from arte-ian wells,
conducted through the fields in shall
low bitches, which nourish the roots
of trees and plants, and change the
plain of sand into a garden of shade
and verdure. Later on other forms
of vegetation will be introduced in
the shadow of the trees, which will
shelter the Trailer growth, otherwise
impossible under the fervent sun
shine. Long ago, in the time of the
empire there was some question
of process invented hy De Lesseps
and much encouraged by the EN-
press Eugene to form n great lake
in the center OF Sahara by canal
cut from the Mediterranean.
Whether feasible or not the disaster
of Sedan caused the collapse of this
scheme also, and the possibility of
the success in the enterprise must
be left forever in doubt. But it is
strange that this simpler method
was not earlier attempted; or, now
that its perfect feasibility has been
proven, that it is not made of more
general use.

BY ocal applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way TO cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucus lining of the eustachian tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
