 Did you ever witness cyclone? If you did net you never lived long in northwestern State where cyclones come down on the unsuspecting in- habitants Hike wolf on the fold, rendering them 'hsuseless, and home less, scattering them as chaf before the wind. The home of the cyclone IS not Arizona. It's birthplace was ori- ginally supposed to be in Lapland, where the reindeer slsage gldes over the frozen snow. The recent storms in the Northeast, travelling in a con centric crcle from Omaha to New York, and frsm the northern shore of Lake Superior to Knoxville, Tennes- see, having Chicago for its center, causing humnnity to quail, with crouching limbs, frsm the biting gale, and whore old scavangsr Death earned a keen edged soythe and coffin lid.
 January 17th, 1888, witnessed in those States so recently visited by the blizzard, deaths by the freless hearth aad in snow drifts, during the pinch ing hours of cold and want. h addi- tion te snufing out the hght of life, Eolus marked his way with aenuded forests, wrecked dwellings and barns, and from the number of the dead and wounded in his wake it gave evideRce of a great battle fought, in winch the elements were cruelty and signally victorious.
 At first glimpse many persons will feel appalled, at the accounts of the annual winter ylsitations upen those who drift north with view of making home, but moments reflection will tuiu tho current of thelr thoughts, and cause them to wonder why these seeking new homes had not come to Central Arizona, where balmy win- ter climate iuvitas the growth of but ton-hale boquets m the open air in January, and where cyclone caves are unknown

COPPER.


 From the market report, January 1st, of J. Friedeustein, of Now York: The month of December has been one entirely devoid of feature and with an almost entire absence of business in open market, occasioned in part by the interruption of the holidays, an indisposition to carry forward stocks into the now year on the part of con sumers and an utter absence of spscu- lative trading-the ''shors" interest having baen, if not wholly eliminated, reduced to very smsll proportions and on whose part there appeared to exist no anxiety to cover at current prices, what remaining contracts there might be outstanding Quotations of Lake copper fer wholesale lots are 74-17ac, while business in a small way has been done between F and 175c; cast ing brands at l6e-nomlnal.
 Rumors have again been riffs affect ing the syndicate operations, none of which, however, having been in the least substantlated. The extension of contracts with the producers, so much and frequently discussed with new features at each repstitisn, now comes in the form of an extension with guar anteed fixed price of 14c per pound to be paid producers, III place of 1Sc, wth addition of half profits from rs- sale to consumers. Although believed to be locked upon favorably by the mining companies, the matter still remains Tn abeyanoe. The fire Tn the Calumet X Hecla mine is reported as practically sntinguished and opera tions will shortly be resumed in Cal umat shafts.
 Statistics frem London, this date, report increase in stocks of copper of 6l00 tons during December, being l04,000 tons against 97,900 tons on December lst On January list, 1888, stocks we're 42,300 tons, showing in crease for the year of 6l zoo tons (2230 lbs,l It is believed that the pro. duction of copper in this country has increased 1000 to 1900 tons during the past year. In the absence of au. thentlc figures, statistics are as yet not complete and are omitted from thls report.
 It is reported on what is claimed to be credible authority that the syndi- cate has closed contract with the Anaconda Company for period ei two years, with the privilege of cen tinuing it twelve years. Terms not | stated.

Ths Prsspector publishes, frsn ad- vance sheets, extracts from the forth coming report of Superintendent of Public Instruction Strauss, portion of winch is of 50 entirely unique and astonishing a character that VIC re. produce it here. He refers to num- bar of unnecessary offices which are a draia on the school fund, chief among which he cites the siiies held by hlm self, and of which he has this to say:
 Take as example the office of Terri tsrial Superintendent, created in 1879 to please a Prescott Pedagogue. A salary of $l 900 year was attached ts the pesitlon-out of which salary the travelling expenses of the officer were to bs paid. Originally sisscure il has Esyer ceased to be enc. The only change has been Tn the salary, which has been increased unhl to-day the in- cumbsnt draws yearly from the treas ury of the Territory S3,000 as travel ing expenses, etc, etc. In return for this sum the Territory receives neth- IEg while the Superintendent spends his time in soienrnlng wherever pleas urs may call him. From the outset the office has been barnaels, para slts, 8 fungus, and will continue to be while it lasts, It may serve to oreward political services, but the Territory will never prof from it, No respon- sibility being at 'ached to It, no ability IS required to fiL it, and ne endorse meat but favoritism required to se- cure the appointment, which rests solely in the hands ef the Governor"
 The average reaGer will probably be impressed with Mir. Strauss amazing eandor, and be inclined to give him credit for it. It is certainly well sim ulated, but when |. is remembered that he has held the office and drawn the emeluments for two entire years, that the press ard people are clamor- ing to have ths office abolished, and that the legislature about te convene will undoubtedly do so, &r. Strauss disinterestedness and regard for the cause of education can be viewed only as a shrewd move to forstall severe criticism and let himself down easy You are "dsyilish sly Mr. Superin- tendsnt of Public Instruction.

A late Panama dispatch says that the resolutions recently presented to .:he United States Senate with refer eRee to European intervention in American canal matters, are net re glrded with favor either iu that coun- try or in other Spanish American Re publics. Newspapers ara coming in new with comments criticising the resolutions The general tendency of opinion, as thus reflected in the press, is that as these republics effected their own freedom from European domin- ion and are absolutely free and SOW ereign States, any such action on the part of the United States as that sug gosted in the resolution would amount to an infringement of their national rights.

About the same time the following spring, 1872, my feet became sore again, as ai first, and every succeeding spring for five years brought back the same condition of tie dis ease, only each time it became more dis tTcssing, because l began to think il was a lifetime trouble.

Are We to nn,c Anstaer War?


 Some political prophets aver that we shall. Be that as it may, the battle waged hy medical science against disease will mover cease until we arrive at that utopian epoch when the human family shall cease to be afflicted with bodily ail- ments. One of the most potent weapons which the armory of medicine furnishes, is Hostetter's Stomach Btters, which is of special utility as family remedy, as it is adapted to the immediate relief and ultimate cure ef those disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels which are of commonest occurrence. Indigestion, bil- iousness and constipation are inseparable companions, and these ailments are com pletely eradicated by the Bittsrs. But the remedial scope of this superlatively wholesome and genial medicine takes in also rervons ailments, rheumatism and kidney troubles; its action in these, as in the other complaints, being characterized by unequaled thoroughness.

 The Secretary of War in his report, recently made public, speaking of the removal Of the Chiricahua Apachcs to the East and the efforts made to hays them returned to Arizona, says; "Ths short term of imprisonment which was suggested as sufficient by the military commander to whom they surrendered was disapproved by the President and by General Sheridan, and no terms but removal for an indefinite period was contemplated by tbose on whom tho responsibility rested for the peace of these Territories and the lives of their people. Not only IS 1t necessary that they should be kept away from Arizona, but General Howard, in com mand of that diylsion, is of the opin- ion that other branches of the Apache tribe now in Arizona should also be removed, and says there IS but one re- lief from the Indians located near San Carlos, and thatis either removal from the Territory"
