IT is believed that the circuit court bill now before the legislature will fail to become law and, we believe, it justly merits such fate. So far as this county is concerned, such court k entirely unnecessary and would entail a useless expense upon the peo- pie. There may be other counties where additional judicial facilities will prove beneficial, but it will be several years before they are needed in this county and by that time Arizona will become a state and the judiciary arm of its government will then be re. modelled with view to its effective ness.

The Reymert lode, in Pinal County, at presentis in its infancy, no great depth having been attained. Practi- cally, however, it presents a continu- ous body of fair-grade ore from end to end, known distance of over 400O feet, at different points this is of ex- cellent grade, say 35 to 60 ozs. That it is destined to take prominence as a large producer of silver cannot be questioned, the output being limited only to the treating capacity of the mill. Without assuming the con- tinuancy of the pay ore to a greater depth than 100 feet, 1t will be years before that of known payable grade can be exhausted. When operated on a scale in proportion to its value il will furnish employment to many peo pie, and doubtless, induce legitimate mining investors to look at and inves tigate more closely the argentifereui lodes of Arizona.-H.

The Views of Gov. Safford.

PARTON SPRINGS, Fla, Feb 19, 1889. SAML. HUGHES, Esq, Tucson.
 DEAR SIR Your kind favor of the 12th just received, and 1 assure you l appreciate more highly the generous support my old friends are giving me than l would to receive the highest of flee in the gift of the people. I only hope I may be able some time to do for the people services that will in some degree repay them for their gen erous efforts.
 My friends are carrying out my wishes exactly, not fighting any one I always did despise personalities in politics, besides if I again serve as governor I want to start in with kind feelings towards all and as far as pos sible receive a united support, SO that we may be able to advance Arizona to its front and develop her resources to the fullest extent If we can open the coal fields, develop the water, give renewed vigor to the educational and mining industries, etc., we will accom- plish much good. To accomplish these objects no time must be wasted in personal abuse or factional fights, and above all, local prejudices must be harmonized because what injnres one section to a certain extent inlures all. We want all portions of the ter ritory, as far as practicable, united by rail so that the timber of lands of the north can be brought to the valleys oi the south, and the fruits and grain ol the south be distributed in those sec tions. We want the coal fields opened so that cheap fuel can be obtained tC reduce our ores 1 believe these ob iects can be attained by united efforts and when we succeed in these efforts those who claimed in our early history that Arizona was only fit for the In dians to live in, will see that hope, en ergy, labor and perseverance have made it one of the most desirable ant prosperous portions of the union. l can aid in some small degree eithe as governor or private citizen to bring about these results, it will be my high est ambition. Truly yours

WHATEVER changes may have been made by Congress up to the time it's ended, in the land laws, the desert Naw still remains unchanged in it's esscRti kaaturesl the senate hay ing refused to concur in the clouse re- suusaiuuuusiit. The next Hongress will not convene until December, unless an ex tra session is called, which is improb- able, and during this interval there will be large number of entries made of lands capable of being irrigated by existing canals and those projected or under constrution.

The bill to make stage or train rob bery punishable by life imprisonment, and when attended with loss of fife to make it capital offense, is & measure which, ill the light of the recent crime on the Southern Pacific Railroad. will probably meet the approval of the State Legislature Arizona has taken the initiative in this matter, and the lower branch of it's Legislature has al ready made train robbery an offense punishable by death. In California, as in the other Pacific States and Ter ritories, the railroads and stage lines are peculiarly subject to robbery be- cause of the long stretches of unin- habited country. Hence every effort should be made to stamp out tlls crime which gives California an evil reputation as a State in which there is small security for life and property whereas the truth is that in the great majority of places in California the people are as law-abiding and crimes of this kind as little known as in the old and thickly settled States Of the East.-S.

THE Parncll suit against the Lon don Times is drawing to close and the sun of the "Thunderer's glory is going down amid dark clouds of dis appointment and defeat. The awk- ward position in which the Times has been placed by the testimony of it's main witness, the perjured Richard Piggott, is indeed pitiable, and the government, for it's sympathy and ma terial aid to defeat the great Irish statesman, shai es in the confusion the recent developments have brought about. The witness Piggott proves to be the forger of the Parnell letters and he has eluded the vigilance of the officers, possibly by connivance of the chagrined governmental authorities, and is now fugitive from justice. His evil record was shown up and he was condemned by his own testimony The general opinion prevails that the Times was grossly imposed upon, and its stupid, not to say criminal, lack Of reasonable discretion in the acceptance of such clumsy forgeries, is condemn -seS -bx ~ people who want to see jus tice done.

A Malicious Tale Works Great Injury
to an Honest Man.

Samuel Fessenden, treasurer of the
Cape Cod Ship Canal company of Boston
is at the Inter Ocean with his wife and
daughter. They arrived from the west
on the Golden Gate special and leave for
Denver this morning.
Several days ago the papers of the
country printed in their Geographic COL
umns a dispatch to the effect that Mr..
Fessenden was a deiaulter, and could not
be found.
A denial followed the next day and the
company, on behalf of Mr.. Fessenden,
has instituted libel suits againt the two
Eastern papers in which the story first
appeared. He was in Oakland when he
learned OF his alleged crookedness and
was of course a%stounded. Many coast
friends would not recognize him and he
could do no business with checks. Mr..
Fessenden says his Office is executive and
he handles no funds.

A STATEHOOD LETTER
Is Issued by Representatives of the

Direct Call for Expressions of 0pin.
ion on the Subject.

The appended circular letter has been
prepared by the chairmen and secretaries
of the Democratic AMI Republican terri
torial central committees. Copies will be
forwarded to each member OF these bod
ing, each county commissioner and mem
bers elect of the eleventh Legislative as
sembly. Here is the letter:
CHEYENNE, WYo., May 10, lSS9.-To
the several Boards of County Commits
sioners of Wyoming Territory-GENTLE
MEN: We have been requested to openly
express our views upon the question of
the early admission of Wyoming as a
state.
We believe that the best interests of
the territory will be subserved by imme-
diate statehood. The only objections
against it which have heretofore been
urged were those of increased expense,
but since the senate committee on terri
tories has unanimously presented a bill
for the admission of Wyoming, which bill
contains so many generous grants of land
and such a liberal cash revenue from sales
of public lands, it is very doubtful If taxes
will be appreciably larger, if as large, un-
der state government than they are now.
There seems to be nothing unfair in the
provisions of the senate bill. Neither polit-
ical party is given n advantage whatso-
ever. Public opinion in the territory. SO
far as the same can be ascertained, seems
to be overwhelmingly in favor of immedi-
ate statehood.
The advantages of moving at once, and
in following out the exact provisions OF
said senate bill as TO a constitutional con-
v%ention, including the dates of election,
are very great. If Wyoming can go to
the next congress with a constitution
adopted under the regulations of the SEN
ate bill, that fact will gain an earlier and
more favorable consideration of our
case.
Nothing that may be, or can be done,
will prevent the regular session of the
legislative assembly in January next. In
deed, it is hoped and expected that the
assembly will memorabilia congress for
the admission of Wyoming into the
Union. Nor would anything done
toward statehood curtail the tenure of
county officers. They would serve out
their terms of office in any event.

AN EXPERTS OPINION.
w. C. McComber of Duluth on Wy,
oming Iron Mines.
Says Indications are Favorable but
Extent Unknown.
Thinks %Cheyenne's First Need is
Smelling Furnaces.

w. G. McComber, the Duluth iron
expert who is largely interested in the
Lake Superior regions, last evening re-
turned from Hartville and Iron Noun
tain, where he inspected deposits of the
heavy metal. Much of the Hartville ore.
he said TO a reporter, is of character
easily and economically reduced, but a
greater portion of the Iron Mountain de-
post contains a refractory element called
tarunam and cannot be smelted by any
known process.
MI. McComber had been led to believe
that there were thousands of tons of iron
ore in sight at Hartville, but found that
such was not the case. He believes that
an extensive deposit exists at that point,
but says the quantity must be determined
by development work. Some OF this ore
contains copper, which detracts some
what from its value, but most of it is a
high grade, free milling iron ore. The
expert thinks that the first duty of the
owners to Themselves and the county is to
satisfy themselves as TO the extent of the
deposits. They are apparently very large.
but the amount should be Appropriated
before a smelter is put in.
The Iron mountain ore, were the
atunam absent, could not be excelled in
the country, and it is pretty certain that
there are large quantities OF it which do
not contain this ingredient.
Mr.. McComber carries many specimens
OF the iron ores OF this country to Duluth.
where they will be assayed by the chemist
in the employ of his company. He ex-
poets to be able to make a favorable re-
port on tie deposits, as he pronounces
the indications good. He thinks the
amount claimed by each miner is too
small. Every locator should be entitled
to 100 acres, as quantity is very desirable
in iron mining.
The expert says that Cheyenne's prime
need at this stage is a smelter. Rolling
mills and foundrys would naturally follow.
1t is a fundamental principle to make
something from nothing. Produce pig
iron, a staple commodity. from the raw
ores. Don't import pig iron when you
have the material tor Its manufacture at
hand.
The smelter in which Mr.. McComber
is interested is located at Black River
Falls, Wis. The plant cost $l25, 900 and
employs between eighty and ninety men.
Charcoal, costing six and a half cents per
bushel, is used in the furnaces. Coke can
be used instead.
When the reader notices that Mr.. Nc
Comber was rather disappointed at the
apparent extent of the iron deposits in
this section it must be remembered that
the gentleman comes from the Lake Su-
perior region, where a small iron mine
covers twenty-five or thirty miles of terri
tory,

Then, with admirable presence of mind
she crawled under the seat and over the

in a manner which indicated that she saw
nothing remarkable about it. She lovingly
