PrOspectOr,

Barney Riggs, who was sent to Yums
 for the killing of Hudson at Dos Cabezas
 a couple of years ago, and who was pard oned by Governor Zulick after he had
 served few months in prison, is again in the tolls in Texas for killing a cow
 boy.
 The Prospectors beat the miners at base ball yesterday by score of 5 to 3. Loekling and Gray were the battery for the former and Scotty Garrett and Hol- for the latter nine.
 James Pyles and Melzar Osborn have returned to their mining claims in the Dos Cabezas mountains. The rock they brought with them for assay proved to be better than even their most san- guine expectations had allowed for, and they return to begin active work upon their claims. This is new district and may prove to be one of great importance to that section of the country.
 The diamond drill consigned to the Sterling Silver mining company arriv- ed at Fairbank yesterday and will be up here to-day or tomorrow. This IS the first one we believe that has been intro duced into Arizona and its developments will be watched with eager expectancy. It will be placed on the we'll at the mill and run a few hundred feet before tapping the hidden mysteries of the Vizi- na mine below water.
 c. A. Clark, the wheelright, and his brother-in-law, Starbuck, are boring for artesian water at Huachua post. The latter is hunting for a partner with a capital of S1OOO to assist him in pound ing holes into the ground as he calls it. He gets down about twenty feet and gives up owing to striking quicksand. He has no piping and cannot go beyond this depth without it. It is said that troop of the fort will form a company for the purpose of taking stock in the enter prise. J. Sturker, an intellegent mem Der of that troop, was in Tombstone last Saturday making arrangements looking to that end. John has long head and all that Starbuck wants is long purse to strike water in that vicinity.

WILCOX NOTES.
Stockman.

The roundup in the Graham and Dos Cabezas mountains country, spoken oi last week, finished work last Saturday Captain George Frisk was in town Sun day and told us large number of cattle were gathered and brought back to the ranges of their owners.
 Freighting to Globe, which has been greatly interrupted for several weeks past by high water on the Gila, is again in full blast. A large number of teams arrived here this week with copper bull lion, and loaded with coke, started on their return trip to Globe. The road is in splendid condition.
 The annual meeting of stockholders of the Chiricahua Cattle Company was held at Tombstone, April 5. The fol lowing gentlemen were elected officers for the ensuing year: President, Theo. F. White; vice president and treasurer, J. V. Vickers; secretary, John Blake; foreman, J. c. Pursley. Directors Theo. F. White, J. V. Vickers, John Blake, R. A. Thomas and J. Gruendike. Messrs. Thomas and Gruendike, the two new members of the directorate, are leading bankers of San Diego.
 It pleases us to state that one of the Apache murderers of Freeman T. Cos per, the freighter, is real good Indian and the other a prisoner. They had managed to evade the Indian scouts un- til Wednesday, when they were discov- cred by party of scouts who attempted to arrest them. They resisted, and in the fight that followed one of the mur- derers was killed and the other captured. The latter will be turned over to the civil authorities for trial. Old Chilchu- ana, who it is believed was assisting the scouts, was wounded during the fight.

WHEN Mr. Zulick was in Tucson, short ly after his appointment as chief exeou- tive of this territory, he was approached by man formerly in his employ at Ma cosari, and asked for the amount due him. MT. Zulick protested that he was broke and had not dollar in the world he could call his own. But the man was persistent, he claimed to have been defrauded of the price of his labor and was now without money to purchase food. Mir. Zulick's heart at length soft ened and he gave the man dollar and stated that he was unable to give more. These being cold facts we modestly rise to enquire the road to wealth as trodden by Governor Zulick during his guberna- torial term of three years. His property values in the Salt River Valley alone are reputed to be from s30OOO to s50O00, and as it takes uncommonly good financrer
 ing to have made this amount out of his s25OO salary we would, for the bene- lit of ourselves and public, like to know how the thing was done. We have heard and continue to hear ugly rumors of a pardon brokerage having been run in connection with the executive depart ment; and while of course We cannot be- lieve MT. Zulick made money in connec- tion herewith, there still are a few little cases that need explanation, par ticularly those of Wong ri, the mur- derous highbinder, and Sol Earth the notorious Apache County forger. Wong Iii was arrested in hut on the Santa Cruz bottom, by Sheriff Eugene A. Shaw. His capture reflected great credit on that officer as the man was known to be daring, desperate and bloody of record. He had when taken two re- volvers and pair of the most murder ous looking butcher knives man ever carried. He was tried in the district court and sentenced to long term of imprisonment, only to be pardoned out in two years. Now how or why this man was pardoned needs explanation. Why was he again turned loose on the com munity to begin anew his career of crime is yet unknown to the interested public, and till the facts in the case are known feeling of distrust that there was good sized fee in the woodpile for some one will continue to exist.

FoR one we fail to see wherein lies the animus of the Gazette in its endless ti- rade against Governor Wolfey. Before his nomination by the president it, in the interest of a competitor, personally assailed him. In like interest it howl ed and protested against his confirma- tion, but which all the same came in due time. At this, however great its chagrin and disappointment, its self imposed task of villifcation and abuse should have ended, temporarily at least. As chief executive of the Territory Gov ernor Wolfiey was entitled to hospita- ble greeting, and his official acts treated with respectful consideration till they had been weighed and found wanting This much to say the very least was due him, but the Gazette affects otherwise It has maliciously pursued him from the first time his name was mentioned as probable can didate for Governatorial honors down to the present time. We are satisfied how ever that neither of its editors, Messrs Dunbar and Johnson, would voluntarily be party to so questionable proceed ing, but for the power behind the throne over which they have no control. This power is believed to be none other than ex-Governor Zulick and his disappoint- ed associates. It is their last whine of despair and they aim to gratify their spleen by assailing the man who made their retirement to private life possible. Such course will not however, lose him a friend or make him an additional ene- my; rather to the contrary it will win him favor from the public who tire of a constant airing of personal grievances. The people of the Territory have faith in Governor Wolfiey they believe he will make good governor and a strong gov ernor and they are willing to trust the issues of the country with him, the Ga zette to the contrary notwithstanding. Governor Wolfiey has the courage of his convictions and will not be turned aside from his plain path of duty by the whim- perings of defeated and disgruntled dem- OcratS.

As Governor Zulick is now out oi office it would be eminetly becoming of the press to allow him to rest without the customary departing kick, and the CITIZEN for one would feel constrained to carry out such policy were it not for the ex-governor's blatant demagogery He loses no occasion-either public or privste-to villify and abuse the press and private individuals who honestly disagreed with him when governor, he must perforce expect no better treat ment that he is willing to and does ac- cord to others.

EXCESSIVE BRANDING.

The cattlemen of the United States, or rather those who run their cattle on ranges, are making in spite of all remon- strances, great mistake in the exces- sive use of the branding iron. Not only have individual tanners tried to con vince cattlemen of their error, but the National convention of Tanners has again and again discussed the subject of excessive branding, going over the whole field, and has passed resolution after resolution requesting the cattle men, not only in the interest of of the leather trade of the United States Tn which they are interested, but especially for themselves as producers of hides as well of beef, to be more careful in the use of the hot iron. So far all sugges- tions and remonstrances have had little or no effect. Now, hover, that cattle are cheap and are hardly paying for raising, perhaps range owners may be willing to listen to reason.
 The schedule of classification of hides recently adopted by the Tanners Pro- tective Association of California, and which has been several times published | in this journal, reads as follows: All hides * < * with center brands, those with brands on each side < * * are con sidered damaged and thrown out as culls." Another section says: Hides that will make damaged leather art chased as 'culls' and are sold at two thirds price,"
 Now, take a hide say, 60 pounds, fo
 which the butcher can get S1a cents pound or more if the hide is perfect, an' he realizes S5.10 for the salted hide. l the hide be damaged by "center brands
 or brands on each side" '" the butcher O
 the hide dealer, can under the presen
 classification, get only $40 for sixty
 pound hide, or s170 less than he woul'
 have received if the hide had been req
 sonably branded. This makes consider
 able difference in the value of the stee
 to the butcher, and if he cannot mak
 as much out of a steer branded one wa
 as he can out of steer branded another he is going to make corresponding dli ference in the price he offers to the cat tie raiser Slaughterers are runnln close nowadays and have
 cut corners sharply to make both end meet, and more cattle growers are to-da
 making 8 loss than profit, and the la
 ter cannot afford to throw away, for tn
 sake of an useless practice, from one do
 lar to two dollars or more in the value
 steer. The day is gone by, never
 return, when tanners will pay as muc
 for a double brand or a center bran' , and sometimes it is a double center, z
 they will for hide free from brands ( single branded on the butt. The da e will henceforth go by, never to return , when butchers will not consider tn , manner of branding in estimating th value of beef cattle. An old proverl I older than the English language, say . "A word to the wise is sufficient" Whic
 are we to believe, that cattle-growers al , not wise, or that the proverb hasno bas
 of truth? The tanners seem to unde , stand themselves, their senses havir been sharpened by hard experience an
 the sooner the cattlemen understan the position of the leather trade, tl , better it will be for their bank account , ,l-Butcher's and Live Stock Gazette.

pErAcro vs. DEJURE.

sOne Foster is defacto Treasurer, his bond is good and on file" says the Ga zette. and therefore it is claimed Cover nor Wolfey did wrong in admonishing County Treasurers not to pay money due the Territory to said Foster. Let us consider this proposition. i- +- >..t
 It is the first duty of the Governor to see that the laws are duly executed and that involves the necessity of first ascer- taining what the law is. The Governor must decide this for himself, and if 1t be true, as the Gazette says, that MT. Eos ter is only defacto treasurer, the Cover nor is certainly correct in his Judgment that no Territorial money should be palo him. Mr. Smith being treasure delure, he is the only person entitled to receive the public funds of the Territory. Coun- ty treasurers might be protected ii they paid money due the Territory to defac- to Territorial Treasurer without notice that such defacto treasurer had no legal right to receive such moneys, and that circumstance created the necessity fol the Governor to give the notice to the county treasurers which the Gazette complains of. Having been thus noti fed of the situation, county treasurer will have to henceforth act at thell peril. They will not be protected II paying money to MT. Foster on thu ground that he is defacto treasurer be cause they now have notice that he I not treasurer ih law, but only by virtu' of his own wrong, or, as claimed by hi friends, defacto.
 But when it is known that the bono filed said by, SOne Foster" and approves by Governor Zulick is not such a bon' as it is required by lew, the tax payer will readily see the necessary for tn Governors action. The law require the Treasurer to give bond in the sun of forty thousand dollars with two o more sureties who justify in double tha sum, i. e. sS0O0O, but the sureties on tn bond given by him justify for only on half that sum.
 Again; neither the form or substanc of the bond is what the statute require So it may well be said that ''One Fol ter" has given no bond at all; an insuff cient being in law no bond,

rur znlick.Farisb wins of the demo-

THE Zulick- Parish wing of the demo cracy seem to be greately excited and be- ligerent because they are not allowed full sway to run the Territorial govern ment for the next two years. They cry revolution and at the same time urge the tag end of the late defunct poodle ad- ministration of ZUlick and his man trl- day to defy the law and remain Tn poss- ession of the public moneys and property defacto officers; like the pickpocket Tn Dickens Oliver Twist who ran away crying stop thief to attract the attention from himself-these selfstyled statsmen cry revolution" because the lawful off Cers of the government refuse to allow them longer to feed at the public crib in order to hoodwink the people of the
 territory and attract attention away from their own illegal and most unJustl- | fable conduct.
 If there is revolution who are the
 revolutionists? Are they the men who
 have been appointed to office by the | governor and territorial council, or
 those demagogues who without shadow
 of right are trying to keep them out ol
 office? What claim have such men a'
 Zulick. Parish and their followers upor
 public confdence9 That they are the
 men who are making the newspaper CT!
 through the Gazette no one will ques
 tion. The last legislature refused t' pass the appropriation bill so long a
 Zulick and his gang were in office be
 cause they believed the administration was corrupt and that the money woul' be squandered. After Governor Vol fley came in this bill became law be cause it was believed that the old gani who had spent over s20O,OOO in runninI the territorial prison and insane asylum f in the last two years without makini
 any improvements would not have I chance to spend like sum or more duI . ing the next two years.
 Do the tax payers of this territory nov r want to intrust such men with thi g money appropriated by that act?
 Y It should not be forgotten that Gov ernor Zulick by his big 'veto" prevente : the accounts of either the prison or asy - lum from being investigated by the lee ? islature. If he and his ''defacto" officer Q who are now crying "let us alone" wer S honest, why did they fear the ligh V which an honest investigation woul have thrown on their acts?
