An Adventure With a Bear.

John Case was chased by bear in the Chiricahua mountains last Sun day. He managed to climb on to 6 huge rock, where he remained for three hours, while his dogs kept the animal at bay. There is no telling what would have become of him had his partner not heard the barking of the dogs and gone to his rescue with a rifle. The first shot fired missed the bear but struck the rock and glanced upward striking Case in the calf of the right leg. The latter who was tired out and nearly frightened to death, could not stand the struggle any longer, and tumbled off the big boulder as afectually as if he had been shot through the heart The second shot pierced the heart of bruin and put a stop to the siege.-Tomb stone Prospector.

A Land Decision

Acting Secretary Chandler of the Interior Department, rendered de- cision on August 18th, affirming the decision of the General Land Office in the case of Cyrus Wheeler, involving the refunding of 25c an acre for 64O acres of land in the Tucson (Arizona) District. Wheeler made desert land entry for section 32, township s south, range 22 west, in this district, in May, 1887, and made first payment as re- quired, Z3c an acre, or $1GO. The Register and Receiver of the local Land Office were both absent at the time, and the application was register ed and the payment received by a clerk who had been left in charge. It was subsequently, announced in a cir cular from the General Land Office, that the land was situated within the limits of the Texas Pacific Railroad grant, and hence was double minimum land, worth $2.50 per acre. The local land officers accordingly notified Wheeler that another Poe an acre must be added to the first payment before entry would be allowed. The claimant finally made the payment under protest, and appealed to the | General Land Office to have the mon ey returned on the ground that his application had been made and the first payment for minimum land, at $1.25 an acre received, before the issue of the circular declaring the lands double minimum. The Secre tary decides, however, that as "the application was not granted wher made and was not reached for exami nation until after the promulgatior of the circular no rights were vested prior to the going into force of tho circular"
 The land is, therefore, held as double
 minimum at $2.50 an acre, for whicl
 the first payment required is 50c al
 acre. Wheeler's appeal is accordingl.
 denied and the decision of the Genera
 Land Office is affirmed. The same de
 cision is made to apply to eight othe
 tracts of one section each in the sam
 land district, the eight appellants be ing NJ. J. Goodfellow, Richard R , Wheeler, Frank H. Hereford, Lorin $. Williams, John Dodd, Achilles Unt bank, John Malony and Theodore l Stiles. Their several applications an
 payments were made under the sam conditions and circumstances as Cyru Wheeler's, and their appeals wer taken for the same reason.

THERE seems to be general i'm pression among those in position to know something of the facts, that the J. D. Reymert Mining Company con template the erection of their reduc- ton works on the Gila river in the vicinity of McLellan's ranch, six miles above Florence, where very large plant will be ec!ed at time not far distant, with railroad come ;tion with the mines. At the same time the development of a supply of water at the mines by means of deep wells is being steadily prosecuted with good chances of finding sufficient for all mining purposes if not enough for milling requirements. Of course the change of location of the mill depends very mnch upon the result of their search for water, and in any event it is probability at least a year or two remote and somewhat contingent up on the further development of the great ore bodies in the mines. So far as human eye can see and philosophy determine, the output of pay ore from tie mines, sufficient for the supply of 100-stamp mill, is practically mex haustible, and when all the contem- plated improvements are made it will stand amongst the greatest and most profitable enterprises west of the Rocky mountains. The management is steadily moving forward in busi ness like and economical way, shaping all its affairs to the systematical at tainment of it's ultimate object-tht mining and reduction of ores upon { gigantic scale. The result of this wis, policy will be the erection of pros porous mining town and the creation of a very desirable home market fo all the surplus productions of the az ricultural lands in the valley.

New Tea Gowns and Dressing Gowns.


 Tea gowns and dressing gowns show much novelty this season. A charming exemplii- cation of several new points was combina- tion of green and white, the trimming white, applied as a girdle, falling in long ends in front, and as frillings carried down the front, the edges needle-run with green, while the gown itself, cut loose and flowing, opened with the edge worked in guipure over silk, which fell over a white front. The empire style has crept even into tea gowns, and one made with a rounded yoke in gray cashmere was trimmed with white ribbon, watered and embroidered in gray and gold It was made with rounded yoke, the sash dinin- ishing the length of the waist.
 Sleeves are becoming more and more i'm portapt, and one of the newest tea gowns has hanging sleeve in points falling to the hem of the skirt, formed of rows of lace; the belt richly embroidered. One gown, in Q light blue tone, was lined with primrose cashmere, which shone through. It was comfortable shape, cut all in one, and easily slipped on. The frillings on many of these garments made in silk or soft wool, had been not only pinlzed, but the edge worked over with silE in a sort of herring bone. The fronts ert often tucked horizontally.

The Fish C0nrnissiyn.

Prof. Charles II. Gilbert, Chief Naturalist of the Fish Commission steamer Albatross, recently visited the Gulf of California, and upon his re- turn to Washington gave the follow ing summary of his investigation of those waters:
 "After completing work on that part of the coast, cruise was made into the Gulf of California, partly for the purpose blocking up the oyster ques- tion there, and party to ascertain whether the experiment of introduc- ing shad into the Colorado River had been successful. No shad were found in this river, although some had been planted there several years previously The waters are evidently not suited to the species.
 South of Guaymas beds of oysters were found which are thought to be fully equal to the best that we have on the Eastern coast, and the question n )w to be determined is whether there IS suitable place on the California coast where they can be propagated.
 l tl Ol LllO WOIk Wdo Ol SClenIlIIC interest, many new and very interest. ing forms being obtained. Having finished the southern cruise, the yes sel proceeded northWarI, and did some work off the coast of Oregon and Washington, beating fishing banks there. It had been reported that there were cod and halibut banks off the Northern coast, but the Albatross was not successful in finding fish there in sufficient abundance to promise any large industry in that line.
 Prof. Gilbert, before he joined tht Albatross, was connected with tho University of Cincinnati. Recently he has been elected professor of zoology in the University of Indiana, at Bloom ington,"

How Darius Was Made King.

In the year four hundred and ninety-three- The date suffixed with large B. c. Cambyses, the king of Persia, was dead, Leaving no son to reign in his stead. Then seven young men of high degree, The noblest of all the nobility, Said, "One of us rightly the king must be-" One was Darius of royal stock, Who afterward on the Behistun rock, Carved his exploits in way no doubt, Wind and weather will never rub out Carved them in true Assyran style, Angular men ranged i, single flo. But which of the seven the crown should wear,
 Wa8 0 very undetermined affair However, then, the same as today, Where there's will there's ever way, And this was the plan they fixed upon: To mount their horses at break Of dawn And ride toward the rising sun, And the first that neighed, the rider, he Was the one predestined the king to be. So at break of dawn, like seven Fates, These noblemen at the palace gates, Mounted their horses, one by one, And slowly rode toward the rising sun. As they passed along in the array, Upon the sun, the god of day, And one of the horses stopped to neigh, well bred horse, good morning" to say. Darius turned pale, natural thing, For the neigh of his horse had made him tn king.

Making the Almanac.

The almanac, in some form, has been not only 0 convenience but necessity since time began. The moment that any occurrence became thing of the past it became indis- pensable that it should be classified accord ing to it's relation to other events that had been contemporary or had preceded it, to prevent confusion of memory, or, if the pc riod had become one of written record, of history For this classification the sun fur nished a convenient means by its disappear ance and reappearance at regular hours. The primitive man, as savage tribes do still, counted by suns and moons to the extent that his feeble knowledge of figures permitted. A more advanced state of civilization brought a recognition of the fact that the solar year contained a certain number of days, that is, 36514, divided into thirteen moons or months On this basis the almanacs of modern Chris tian people are based. As the extra six hours cannot be counted every year, a day is added every four years, that the beginning of the year may so occur as to commence all the seasons at the same epoch.
 The ancient Greeks, instead of this quad rennial adding of a day, added a month from time to time, which brought back their sea- sons to the normal condition. This is still tho system of the Chinese and the East Indians. Almanacs based on these systems are solar in their general scheme and lunar in detail. There is the almanac of the Arabs, which is exclusively lunar. Each month begins with the new moon, or nearly at that date, making year with an average length of about 364 days and eight hours This system was that of the Persians and Ar rneuians in ancient times, and is retained by all Mussulman nations Julius Cesar re- formed the calendar, and his system re- mained in vogue till changed to the present form by Pope Gregory XIII in 15S2.

THE special committee charged with the investigation of the West Virginia election contest, which has been in session for the past four months, has about completed its labors. It finds that no evidences of fraud at the polls exist, but did not enter into the ac- tions of the returning boards. The colonizing of voters from other states, as charged by the democrats, has been utterly disproven and scarcely an in tentionally dishonest vote upon either side has been discovered. A small proportion of the votes were thrown out, and these were so disposed of up. on purely technical grounds. The plurality of Golf still reaches fifty and it is believed the remaining two coun ties to be investigated will not materi ally reduce it.

ELSEWHERE we present a summary of the assessed valuation of the San Pedro country, upon the strength of which the settlers will ask the county to build bridge across that river. Good roads are essential to the welfare of every county and bridges are fully as great a necessity as roads. The bridge desired will accommodate a growing section and it is but right that their wishes in this respect be compiled with.

In the kidneys When inactive they speedily fall into disrepair. Those obstinate and fatal maladies, Bright's disease and diabetes, ensue with terrible certainty upon the inaction of the organs affected. Catarrh of the bladder, enure- sis, gravel and strangury are also to be appre- hended from partial paralysis of the bladder, of which weakness and sluggishness are the causes.

 It is not generally known that the young flat fish have an eye on each side of the body, and that 1t is only in the adult stage that the eyes are both on one side. There has been much discussion among scientific men as to the mode in which the change takes place, but in the founder it has been observed to travel over the ridge of the head, while in some other fish it passes directly through the soft tissue of the young fish to the other side.
 Cellular clothing is now coming into use in England, and is said to be a success. It is woven out of the same material as common cloth, but into cells the network of which is covered over with a thin stuff. Its porous quality allows the passage of the inside and outside air, giving time for the outside air to become of the same temperature as the body, and thus obviating all danger of catching colds and allowing vapors exhaled by the body to pass off. The ordinary objection to cotton underwear is removed if made in this man ner.-New York Herald.

DURING the year ended July 1st, 1889, Mexico exported to the United States $l7, ,915, ,115.S3 in precious met als, or SITS per cent. of its total ex- ports. Of general merchandise, the United States received $13, ,144, ,510.85, or 1852 per cent. of thls class of ex- ports. Of it's total exports of $48,885,- ; 9OS.33, our country received S31 ,059,- 626.GS. Our commercial relations with our neighboring republic should be further fostered in view of the fact of the natural supply and demand of both nations and their mutual depend ence upon each other. The future of Mexico is full of great promise and it's path of progress is lined with monu- ments of American enterprise and yankee ingenuity. There is already a large sprinkling of Americans en. gagged in various profitable pursuits in Mexico, and its inducements for the emigration thither of American energy and enterprise leads to the belief that ultimate ties of consanguinity will ce ment the friendship of the two repub lies into an indissoluble unity of in terests and destiny.

Arizona is Not a Desert.
Denver Republican. ]

In the opinion Of a great many per sons Arizona is a desert says the Den yer Republican. These are people who have neither been Tn the terri tory nor studied its resources.
 As matter of fact, Arizona is in natural resources one of the most highly favored of the political di- visions of this country. It contains a large area of forest land, the greater part of which has never felt the stroke of the ax. It is rich in silver and gold, and it's copper deposits probably exceed in extent and aggregate value those of any state or of any other ter ritory in the Union.
 The climate, except for people who delight in cold and snow, is the best in America. It is dry, and in some sec lions it is semi-tropical. The altitude ofthe country gives the climate that peculiar bracing quality which is characteristic of the climate of all the Rocky mountain region.
 The garden spot is Salt river valley There, oranges, lines and lemons may be grown superior to those of Cali Tornia. If 1t were desired, it could be turned into one vast vineyard pro ducing table wine and raisin grapes oi the finest quality.
 Ruins of cities, and other remains of an ancient civilization in the Sal river valley, indicate that part of Ari zona was once the home of as many a. 3OO,0OO people. These people de pended in agriculture upon irrigation and it is only necessary to follow il their footsteps to develop the means o support for the same number of peo plesin this day.
 The population of Arizona is abou 100000, and the value of its taxabl property is estimated at $75,000,000 The territory is improving steadily and it seems destined in few year to Le ready for admission into tn | Union as a state

An addition has been recently made to the food plants produced in this country, which in time may prove a strong rival of Indian corn. The new plant is the sweet eassava of the trop- ics. It is very productive, and good land will give at least ten tons of cas- sava root per acre. Its main use is for conversion into starch, tapioca, and glucose, although it can be uti- lized in an infinite number of ways.

THE St. John Herald is the only newspaper in Arizona that has spoken a single disrespectful word of Judge Kibbey. Looking through the di- minutive portals of it's evil soul it sees nothing but the shadow of its own wickedness in others. The imputa- tions it makes are mean and cowardly and can only win the contempt of the public for their author.
