A CRAZY wANDERER.
The Terrible Experienc of Demented
 Young Woman.

Young Woman.
 The hardships that a woman can undergo and hold up under are marve- lous. An example of this fact is pre- sented in the case of the young woman who was mentioned in Satur- days Prospector as having been brought up from Benson by Constable Shilliam, and who is at present con fined in the county hospital with a sprained ankle. The injury to the limb was sustained while walking from Benson to Wilcox. She started from the former place going across hills and gulches until night overlook her. She tells her story in an earnest sort of way, and says:
 "I got along all right in the after noon and made good headway. l got by all the cattle without any trouble, but at night the bears came around me. frightened them off, however, but no sooner had accomplished this than the lions came around, and climbed tree. l slipped and fell from the tree and sprained my ankle, and had it not been for the engineer on the train that came along I would have peTished, for l couldn't walk"
 The people of Benson raised money to take the woman to Tucson, where she said she had friends, but she re- turned the next day and started for Wilcox, where as above stated she was picked up and brought back to Benson. She will probably be sent to Phenix asylum. She is believed to have wealthy connections in Los Angeles who will not pay any attention to her.
 Probably no one thing has caused such general revival of trade at Thomas F. Weedin's drug store as their giving away to their customers of so many free trial bottles of Dr. Kings New Discovery for consumption. Their trade is simply enormous in this very valuable article from the fact that it always cures and never disap- points. Coughs, colds, asthma, bron- chitis, croup, and all throat and lung diseases quickly cured. You can test it before buying by getting trial bot tie free, large size $1. Every bottle warranted. .sw.sz...s..s.s.

 On Monday last at the Lower Wal nut Grove Dam, the explosion of a blast caused or 8 tons of rock to fall on man known as Big Mike" The rocks were removed as soon as possible, one of the boulders being so large that it had to be handled with pulleys When the large rock was removed, the piercing shrieks of the wounded man were said to be heartrending. "AIike" had worn for year or more a very dirty, greasy felt hat with patch in it, when Superintendent Brodie drew near the prostrate sufferer the latter whispered "lock up the hat" This aroused curiosity, the old hat was eX- amined and under the patch, was found $304.40, much disfgured and colored by age and perspiratiOn. Deputy Sheriff Brown, who was an unwilling spectator to the unfortunate mans suf1erings, says that he is not expected to live, as his skulfis thought to be crushed in.

TIE report of Surveyor General Johnson to the secretary of the interior, is crushing blow to the hopes of the claimants of the so-called Peralta grant in Arizona, and it presents indis- putable evidences of it's fraudulent character sufficient to bury it in utter oblivion and consign the perpetrators of the fraud to the dungeon. For sev- eral months we have been aware of the nature of the contemplated report of MT. Johnson andrwe are glad that his opportunity has come to forever clear his skirts of De missfable suspicion that hss enimies endeayored to attach, and has shown himself to be the friend of fthe settlers.

CONGRESS convened last Monday and elected Hon. T. B. Reed, of Maine, as speaker. His selection is not re- garded by western people as at all friendly to the silver interests of the country, as he is openly hostile to its further coinage. The vote by which he was elected, however, does not cor rectly index the strength of the silver advocates in Congress, for many votes, even from the west, went to him as payment for coveted positions upon certain committees, compared with which the silver question was very insignificant matter, in q personal sense.

THE Star says: Governor Wolhey appears to be doing the best he knows how and ought to be encouraged by his party papers at least" This is the unkindest cut of all. If "doing his best" utterly ruins his party and prac- tically annihilates the territorial gov ernment, we shudder to think of the possible result of little careless man agement on his part. Of "party pa- pers" he has none, for he has forfeited their support, and even his personal organs give forth somewhat discord- ant accompaniments to his uncanny aolO

SILVER
Senator Stewards Speech in Convention.


 "Nations have tried lead, iron and copper, but finally all civilized and semi-civilized nations have decided on silver. The use of silver Is pre- historic The first we heard of the use of silver was as money, while gold was first used as an ornament and later as money. For three thousand wears or more these have been the metals out of which money could be manufactured. Now, l say as long as a dollar can be manufactured out of a given quantity of silver or geld, it makes no difference to the owner what bullion he has. With either he can get dollar, and with that dollar buy the same amount of labor or prop erty. There is nothing like a scar city of money Poverty, inability to pay debts, inability to support fami- ly, will make men towards. The crea- ton of the great middle classes of England was brought about by the discovery of gold in Mexico and South America. Free silver in Europe was the cause of the people having some money and becoming independent. The farmers of our country today, in consequence of the machinatiOns of the money kings and mono-metallists, ar9 losing the independence of charac- ter for which they have been noted. Their mortgages are making them towards.
 "I will not stop to explain, how this silver demOnetization fraud was com mitted. There was no discussion in the Senate, not-a word, not suggestion in the Senate that the dollar was to be omitted. There is nothing in the record of the Senate to show how that dollar got out. The minutes of the committee do not show it; but we find the fact to be that silver was omitted and l call upon the people to explain how it occurred There was twenty five millions of national debt we know of, and it is estimated that there is at least three times as much other debt county, municipal, corporation, etc, making a hundred thousand millions in all.
 Two hundred millions of gold and silver was being manufactured a month. The people had right tc rely on that. Now this scheme is to cut off one-half that supply, and the debtor is bound by that contract.
 Senator Stewart closed by urging that there be q plain demand upon Congress to remonetize silyer-no dal- lying, no compromise, but a straight demand, Meet the creditor" he said "face to face, for if you must yield him your property you might as well do it now as in the future"

The Famous Navajo Blankets.

Have achieved a reputation for durability, second to none in the world. A brief description of the process which produces these indestructable blankets may prove interesting.
 The Navajo tribe of Indians own immense flOcks of well-bred sheep and the wool clip averages 1 100000 pounds annually. A part of this finds its way into the regular market through the traders, but the greater portion is carefully selected for the manufacture of blankets. After being cleaned, carded and dyed by a process known only to themselves, the wool is ready for the loom. The weavers are i'm pOrtant personages and will only per form the labor of making the blanket, therefore the work of erecting the hogan which contains the loom de- wolves upon the squaws. The hogan is made by planting six rough hewn poles about eight feet high at regular in tervals, forming small square. On top of these boughs of trees are placed to form a roof and shade from the burning rays of the sun. The center poles form the sides of the loom and about foot from the top and bottom cross poles, with holes bored through them for the warp, are securely fasten- en with rawhide thongs.
 The warp is made from the fibers of the yucca tree. It is treated in a manner known only to those who pre- pare it and the secret will not be divulged to a white man, therefore their blankets can only be duplicated in.quality and texture by themselves. Formerly these blankets were made solely for their own use, but since they were conquered by the government and thrown almost entirely upon their own resources for d livelihood the value oi their blankets was imposed upon their minds by traders and has become the leading industry-Gallup Cleaner

THE defalcations and rumors of de-

THE defalcations and rumors of de- | falcations in financial officers through | out the country, not excepting Arizona, leads to the suggestion that all official bonds should be carefully scrutinized and be made secure where there exists the least suspicion of defect. It is stated that the bondsmen of the late receiver of the land office at Tucson can clear themselves on a technicality, and if a necessity exists for them to make good a deficiency and they take advantage of such flaw, the officer that approved the bond should be held responsible. This may not be law but it is justice. There is altogether to much carelessness in the matter of bonds and we have but little doubt that very few of such securities given in any county in the territory are worth the paper they are written upon. We suggest to our supervisors the proprie- ty of not only looking closely into the value of this class of official security but of making occasional expert ex- animation of the books of the financial officers. No harm will be done if everything is found correct, but good deal of unjust suspicion would be avoided, while the opportunity to make the county suffer as Cochise county has suffered, would be next to impos- sible.

Joy Co.,, that his wife has been taking Joys Veg etable sarsaparilla for months for liver trouble and indigestion with splendid results. He says, "we have found it invaluable for keeping the system regulated. It divides the load with . dyspepsial stomach and replaces the distressing sense of fitness and oppression with feeling please and relief. It is perfect liver and bowel regulator. We have both been taking it for months. It is good to have handy"

IT is stated that quite a number of large taxpayers of Pima county, and possibly of other counties, will refuse to pay their taxes this year because of the political muddle that permeates even the legality of the tax levy with it's blighting effects. If the executive ledger could be balanced at this time after nine long months of experiment. al statesmanship, ;t would show a gain of one appointee as an offset to the complete paralyzation of all public af- fairs, with a possible loss of many thousands of dollars in revenue.

THE appeal of the Cameron brothers in the case of the United States against these gentlemen, as owners of the San Rafael land grant, for unlaw- fully fencing government land, will soon be determined by the United States Supreme Court, and it is said the settlers whose interests are direct ly involved, will be unrepresented be- fore that august tribunal. This is the suit that cost Judge Barnes his official head when he believed the dignity of the law was paramount to Cameron's private interests, and by this power behind the throne it is written in un- mistakable characters that the courts are his personal perquisite and when his wishes are defied his wrath will sweep the judicial chamber like a betom of destruction. He only wants the earth and he will probably get 1t.

HARD LA HAIAFEAID FROM
Numerous ArrivaIs---Capt. McCasey's 's $l2,OOO Strike---CarbOnates Found. The Coming Camp.
c. Ellison in Phenix Herald.)

.
 Ed. Herald-This camp is beginning to boom. The Bonanza is a wonder fully rich mine; the mill is running night and day. Prospectors are num- erous in the mountains and more are coming in. New tents are being erected every day it is no uncommon sight to see a dozen heavily loaded freight wagons arrive.
 The most wonderful rich strike in Arizona for years was made last Thurs day by Capt. McCasey, of Phenix, five miles from the town and two miles west of the Bonanza, in what is known as the Black Range. The ore is a silver glance carrying gold, and assays as follows: From 100 pound mill samples, No. l, or first-class ore, gold, $l54, silver, 12, 800 ounces; No }, or second-class ore, gold $143, silver, 5,500 ounces to the ton. The ground in which it was found was considered bar ren. MCCasey thought otherwise The camp is all excitement over the new find. The ore is solid and resembles Silvsr King ore. It is in one of the best formations known to prOspectOrs and mineralogists for rich continuous veins of gold carrying silver ores. Me Casey is happy, as a matter of course, and has gone to work systematically to develop his property. George A. Davis, formerly with the Arizona Canal company, is McCasey's partner in the new find. I look for at least 1000 people in the camp by the first of January. As soon as the outside world ascertains that we have rich silver mines there will be such a rush as has never been seen in mining camp in Arizona before.
 Several veins of rich carbonate ores have recently been found. I do not hesitate to say that believe this camr will soon prove to be the largest and richest smelling camp ever dis covered in the United States.
