By the re- mOval of Tanner, President Harri- sons administration will have got rid of one source of perpetual dis grace, and majority of the Amer ican people will say, Amen.

 cific truins, or dopots, until it's just share of the public burden is borne by it.
 Ii it were not revolutionary, and did not savor of lawlessness, we would feel inclined to invite the rustlers in, with the hope that they would steal enough from said cor poration to bring its management around to some just conception of its duty to the people. But our time will come in the near future, and then we will see.

the testimony exonerated H. A. Lar sen of all blame, as it was clear case of justifiable homicide. The same night s. N. Dedrick arrived and identified two of the horses as belonging to him, and also identi- fled the other horses and saddles as belonging to parties in New Mexi- co. From letters found on the body it appeared that the name of de- ceased was Juan F. Ortiz. Mir. Ritts took the other two thieves to New Mexico for trial.

THE Supreme Court of the United States has recently decided, refer ring to the raising" of checks, that ''when the drawer has drawn his check in such careless and incom- petent manner, that a material all teration may be really accomplish ed without having a perceptible ap- pcarance, he himself prepares the way for the fraud, and if it is com mitted, he, and not the bank should suffern

His Record Ruined Him.

Sacramento, July 15.-Geo. Tay- Tor, who sold a phaeton belonging to F. F. Doland and pocketed the proceeds several weeks since, plead ed guilty to embezzlement in Judge Armstrong's court this morning.
 When asked if he had anything to say why judgment of the court should not be pronounced, Taylor said that he was drunk when he committed the offense and did not know what he was doing. He said that he offered to make reparatlon before being arrested, but he was not allowed to do so.
 The Judge listened patiently to his story, and then gave proof that he is capable of writing Taylor's biography. He simply paralyzed the prisoner. He told him how Ee had stolen a horse and buggy and tapped a till in Los Angles, of crimes committed in San Francisco and a term served in the House of Correction.
 The prisoner dropped into a chair and stared at the Judge in open mouthed astonishment.
 ''I think" said the Judge, "that your family and society would be better off with you in the State Pri- son. The sentence of tLe court Is that you be confined in the prison at Folsom for a period of fen yelrs.'
 Taylor was taken to Folsom this afternoon.

The Prospector states that the Barbacomari cattle company, whose range is partly in Cochise and in Pima county, gave in their assess ment returns $500 head of cattle in Cochise and 2,5O0 in Pima county. While the assessor was abroad in the performance of his duty a sale of one-sixth interest in range and cattle of the company was made by Tevis to his partners, and the deed filed for record placed the number otcattle at 19,000. The discrepancy of 1000 head is charged to the forgetfulness ot the management of the company.

How to Increase Our water supply.

:, he is no subject of more inn portance to the people of this coun- ty than that of water storage.
 Every spring vast quantities of water roll down the Little Colorado river and its tributaries, sufficient to irrigate many thousands facres. Our land is second to none in quail ity-it will raise the best of fruits and grain. This fact has already been demonstrated beyond doubt.
 The capital necessary to hold in reservoirs the water that rushes down our streams every spring, is all that is needed to make this a thriving community in every sense. In another column our readers will see an order made by the Board of Supervisors, requesting the people of each district to meet and ap- point a committee to furnish facts and figures, in regard to irrigation and water storage.
 A Committee of United States Senators will visit Arizona in Sep tember to investigate the possibili- ties of increasing the water supply of this Territory, in view of an ap- propriation which Congress is dis posed to make for that purpose.
 Let us urge the people of Apache county to be energetic in the mat ter. This first step well carried out, followed by prompt action when the Committee is in the Territory, may be the cause of our county springing into a condition of pros perity which would take years of private enterprise to arrive at.
 The croakers will, of course, be around: What is the use of both ering, the people in the southern portion of the Territory will get hold of the committee and gobble up everything" Perhaps they may, but do not let us loose a chance for want of a good hard try.
 The capabilities of our valleys for the construction of serviceable reservoirs are unsurpassed in the Territory. Out of any apprOpria- tion made we ought to get our share. This is self-evident; but let us re- mind the people of Apache county that nothing will come this way un- asked, and that competition will be keen. In conclusion remember the old proverb: "God helps those who help themselves.

Rich Fields.

In the mountains between Vul-
 ture and the Hassayampa, and
 about five miles southeast of the
 lower Walnut dam, is a mining
 country that for richness and ex-
 tent is without equal on the coast.
 For years it's existence has been
 known, but for various reasons it
 has never been prospected, and un-
 der the present condition of things
 will not be. It is and has been a rendezvous for the most lawless of the Mexican element that predomi- mates that section, and were it's se- crets known it would solve many a crime that heretofore has been shrouded in mystery. It is stated, and not without probability, that there live those who participated in the Martin, Stanton and Gribble murders, besides many other tragic mysteries that have occurred in the vicinity of Antelope and Vul- ture, Remains of an old furnace and retorts were recently found there, and it is presumed they were used in melting and remoulding the bars of bullion which have from time to time been stolen from the stages between Phoenix and Pres colt, and the treasury wagons be- tween Vulture and Phoenix at present the place is inhabited by Mexicans who, when earning an honest livelihood, follow the avoca- ton of mining, and they frequently bring large quantities of rich ore into this and neighboring towns. They have intimidated all prospec- tors to such an extent that they dare not go into the district and re- main any length of time and it would be foolish for them to go in and run any such risks.
 At different times some very rich specimens of silver ore and nuggets have been taken from district and assay away up in the thousands.
 The ore is principally silver and contains no refractory elements, and the lodges from which it was taken are said to be large and well defined. Considerable placer min ing has been done in the vicinity, | and much of the gold has found | its way to Phoenix and Prescott. It is, without doubt, a very rich dis trict, and should not remain in its present condition. It is too valua- q locality to give up to such a law lawless gang, and means should be taken by the authorities of this and Yavapai counties to get possession of it and rid that section of an ele- ment that has caused such wide spread terror.-Ph9nix Tribune.

Supervisors of this county allow ed Sheriff O'Neill $3,O00 for cap turing train robbers. He wanted a great deal more, but the Board thought they dealt literally enough with him in giving him the sum named. He wanted mileage for Carl Holton, the Atlantic and Paci- fic railroad detective, who was and is in the employ of the company. Prescott Courier.
 We quote the above not for com ment on either the amount of the bill, or the refusal of the Board to pay all claimed, though we think the Sheriff deserves great credit and handsome compensation; but our chief purpose IS, to call the at tention of Apache county people to the fact, that the taxpayers of Ya- vapai county have been called on to pay, in lump, $3,000 for the pro- lection of the property of the At lantic and Pacific Railroad Com pany which, in some mysterious way, settled it's taxes at fifty cents on the dollar. We voice the pub lie sentiment here, when we notify the Atlantic and Pacific folks that not three cents will we spend of the peoples money in enforcing the criminal law against any person who may rob the Atlantic and Pa

ACCORDING to the territorial press which never knows, or at least nev- CT publishes facts about Apache county affairs, Saint Baca" is now to be canonized by the G. o. P. of Arizona. The Governor should now issue general amnesty proclama- ton, directed to each and every one of the United States Marshals of the G. O. P. prior to c. P. Dake, who have skipped the country, that they should return and receive prompt and merited canonization at the hands of their party.

THE Prescott Courier says that there is a misstatement of facts, a perversion of figures in Governor Wolfey's statement in regard to the expenditures of the Territorial Treasurer during the past four years. What the people of the Territory desire and are entitled to know is a report of the true condition of af- fairs. They will not stand mis- representation of facts by Governor Wolfey any more than they will a raid upon the treasury by retiring officials. Now that the good work has been commenced let it go on to a full and detailed explanation of Territorial affairs.
