From the VekOl.
VEKoL, Arizona, May, l

EkOlI, ATlZOnd, N1dy If; O0s
 This year rejoiceable by the anni- versary of great Centennial. seems to be bountiful in all manner of good features. The weather has been as cool here almost as the early weather of fall. The feeling relative to the mining outlook seems to be buoyant and every one expresses themselves in a manner enthusiastic more so than has been heard since the great silver days of 1875. I can speak of the fu- ture of the great Vckol camp in manner the most unstinted. Her re- cord in the past has become famous and her possibilities for the future, with massive ore bodies in sight, seem to precast for the camp career pros porous in the extreme. The ore bod ies of the Vekol, pitching into the Combination properties with every foot of advance work, has caused the Combination shaft to become one of the most popular properties of the camp. Great faith has been expressed in this mos lmeritorious property The shaft, sunk by the most experienced miners of the Vekol, assures for it a d gree of argentiferous wealth co-equal with its twin sister the Vekol, of the past and present. The Great Eastern sold, the Lamp of Aladdin and the Lookout also verging into the constel- lation of promising future causes us to believe that this camp will run a by with Florence as to who shall con- struct a railroad first. With feeling of mutual friendship for the county seat upon the banks of the Gila, we remain in full force

Painted his Hat Red.

A good story, characteristic of the gentleman, comes from San Bernar- dino, concerning Mir. John P. Clum, formerly of this place, Tucson and Tombstone. apropos of the report that he is about to become postmaster of San Bernardino.
 During the last general election Mir. Cum was asked by prominent republicans to take an active part in the campaign, but he peremptorily re- fused, saying he was ''out ot politics" and would having nothing to do with the campaign.
 His repubiicanism was likewise questioned but he gave no satisfaction upon this subject. However, the can vassers of both political parties, who obtained their information largely from the feminine members of each household, had him down as demo- crat, and some sagaciOus ones ex- pressed the belief that, as he was n relative by marriage of the then post master general, w. F. Villas, and be- ing in grave doubt of the success of the republicans at the polls, he saw in the dim distance the shadowy form ol commission as postmaster.
 Be that as it may, all doubts as to his position were beautifully dispelled when the news came of the republi- can victory. A grand ratification meeting was held at San Bernardino and among the most enthusiastic of  the shouting multitude was Mir. John P. Cum, with his plug hat painted a bright red color for that notable oc- casion. Three days afterwards he was at the republican headquarters seek ing endorsements for appointment as postmaster.

Professional politicians are the most

Professional politicians are the most unprincipled, ungrateful people on the face of the earth. Like the monkey in hot cage with her offspring in her arms, she held the young monkey un- til the heat became annoying, then laid it down on the iron floor and stood on it. So it IS with the poli- tician, treacherous and tricky himself he ever ready to sacrifice every and any body whom he may suspect, and as his ears are always open to people of his own stamp and way of thinking rather than to honorable men, as a natural consequence he suspects everybody, and more especially those who are most worthy to be trusted, for, down in his callous and satanic heart he feels that they possess man. ly and noble qualities to which he is an utter stranger, and that they shrink from him and bis methods, and he ac- cordingly suspects, dreads and sneers at them.-Ex.

Mysterious Death.

The body of an unknown white man was discovered near Fort Huachuca last Friday. The body was dressed in a greenish colored woolen shirt, blue overalls, and on the feet were only a pair of stockings; on his head was q brown felt hat, with acorns on the end of the hatband. About one hundred feet from the camp fire, hid in the bushes were found the cooking uten- sils, consisting of frying pan, coffee pot, coffee mill, knives, forks, spoons, tin plates and dutch oven. A saddle, bridle, and prospect pick were also found, and an unopened copy of the Police Gazette of April 20. He was evidently an American, and had a small growth of whiskers on his chin The body was in too advanced a stage of decomposition to determine the manner of his death. About the time he is supposed 10 have met his death an American prospector passed the fort with burro and bay horse.

The Mexican, Julian Fiembres, who was cut by a countryman in drunk en row on Tuesday night of last week, died of his wounds on Friday after noon just after TIE ENTERPR SEE went to press last week. An autopsy show ed that the knife had passed upward
 in the abdominal cavity and had sev- cred an artery, causing profuse inter- nal hemorrhage. The intestines were also cut. A coroner's jury found that the deceased came to his death by knife wounds inflicted by Candido Cas- tro, and a warrant for his re-arrest was immediately issued. In the meantime Castro had disappeared, but it was as- certained that Mr. NJ. G. Safnaniego, returning to his ranch at Canyon del Gro, had picked up a half famished Mexican on the road who answered the description of the party wanted, and Sheriff Shaw, of Tucson, arrested him upon telegraphic instructions from Sheriff Fryer Castro is now in jail here and has been held to await the action of the grand jury, al though there is little doubt of his ul- innate acquittal if the evidence intro duced upon his first examination is confirmed.

The church was dim and silent With hush before the prayer; Only the solemn trembling
 Of the organ stirred the air. Slowly the door swung open, And little baby girl, Blue-eyed, with brown hair fallin. In many a wavy curl, { Stood half abashed, half frightened, z Unknowing where to go; While like wind rocked flower Her form swayed to and fro; e The changing color futtered In the little troubled face; As from side to side she wavered With a mute imploring grace It was but for moment;
 @What wonder that we smil d By such strange sweet picture From holy thoughts beguiled; q Up then rose some one softly, And many an eye grew dim, As through the tender silence
 He bore the child with him. And 1 wondered, losing
 The sermon and the prayer, If, when some time I enter
 The many mansions fair, And stand abashed and dropping In the portals golden glow, If God will send an angel
 To show ME where to go? P F

Selling Cattle by Weight.


 A writer in Mark Lane Express se- verely deprecates the custon, in rogue in England with buyers and sellers in estimating cattle. or buying by the head instead of by actual ascertained weight By this system he believes farmers are cheated and robbed of much of the profits in raising cattle, and advises them to supply themselves with weighing ma chimes of their own, so long as butchers and salesmen remain averse to buying by weight. There can be no doubt that in such cases the farmer is at great disad- vantage with buyers, whose opportuni- ties for determining the dead weight of living animals are so much better. from the nature of their occupation. and the wonder is that English farmers should have submitted to such 8 practice 50 long.
 Much of this business of buying by the head. says the agricultural editor of The World, has been done in this country. and, it is scarcely to be doubted. quite generally to the farmers disadvantage; but of late years the system of selling at acfuai weigt has has hen g sW i:ag ii fSsS and cattle scales are now so cheap as to have become common in towns. as well as on stock farms, so that there is no longer any necessity for the element of chance in the buying and selling of stock as it is picked up through the country by butchers or shippers. No good reason can be given why farmer should sell a bullock on an estimation of it's weight that would not apply with equal force to the buyer after the meat was dressed It is true that the percentage of dead weight varies considerably in different animals according to breed and feeding, but an accurate knowledge of the live weight is an important factor in deter mining the value of the animal before it has been slaughtered.

Field and Farm: MT. W. s. Co burn, one of our readers at Paonia, Delta county, this week contributes the following useful information: "I believe there is no way to prevent cat tie from bloating on alfalfa-at least I know of no particular preventive. But here is sure cure: Take stick ten inches long and as large as stove handle, tie small rope to one end, and put it in the cows mouth. Then pass the rope up over and back of the horns and back again, tieing to the other end of the stick. This opens the mouth and lets the gas escape at once. In thirty minutes the COW is as well as ever. I have tried this with perfect success several times. When a COW bloats she shuts her mouth per fectly tight, and thus lets no gas escape. The stick or bit allows it ali to escape in few minutes"
