A Mysterious Death.

The sad intelligence of the horrible death of B. w. Kellogg, an old and respected pioneer of this Territory, was brought to this city at a late hour last night by the man who had been living at kellogg's cattle ranch with the old gentleman. It will be remem- bcred that about two years ago, the Kellogg boys of this city purchased cattle ranch about fifteen miles north west of Mesa City, and the father went there to live, establishing 8 water station at that point. He was there alone with the exception of the man employed to assist him, who also de- voted sometime to prospecting in the vicinity. On returning yesterday even ing to the ranch he discovered the small lumber, house in which they lived smouldering in ashes, and no signs of the former occupant. On in spaction of the debris he was mortified to find the ghastly remains of his em- ployer in the ruins, burned beyond recognition, and the head apparen tiy severed from the body, which lay in the corner of the room where the bed had stood. His suspicious being aroused, he found on further investi- gation other indications of foul play Grazing in the immediate vicinity was a strange burro, which was not yet dry from the recent saddle marks, and one of the horses of the range gone He thereupon immediately started for this city to inform the relatives O the deceased of the sad catastrophe Several of the relatives left for the range last night to fetch the body tt this city for interment, accompaniet by the sheriff to procure additiona evidence in the case The deceased was among the early settlers in thi Territory, coming here in 1869.

New Naturalization Laws.

WASHINGTON, February 13-Repre- Oates, of Alabama, from the Committee on Judiciary, to-day re- ported favorably the House bill to amend the naturalization laws of the United States. The report accom- panying the bill treats of the existing naturalization laws in critical spirit and calls attention to the abuses which have grown up under them. Ho says: "An alien may be notori- ous thief, murder, outlaw, anarchist, polygamist, leper, or hardened criminal, and yet our law allows him, by making an affidavit of intention be- fore the clerk of the court, all the ben efts of citizenship within the United States. So deficient is the present law and so careless is the practice of Judges, with but few exceptions, that 1t has become matter of public mo- toriety that they perform their duty in such 8 perfunctory manner that any alien, however bad his character or beastly ignorant he may be, can be- come citizen of the United States" The report concludes with synopsis and explanation of the provisions of the bill, which are, in brief, limitation of the classes of foreigners who shall be eligible to citizenship in the United States. including Indians adopting civilized life; prescription of the form of application; requirement. that the District Attorney shall defend the Government against improper appli- cations, and that applications shallfbe corroborsted upon the point of resi- dence; restriction of jurisdiction to high state courts and Federal courts preservation of the rights of aliens who have declared their intention allowance of the right of bona fdt application to make homestead entries and to receive patents after naturaliz ation, and requirement. of would-bt citizens that they shall have resided five years in the United States and h' able to read the constitution in Eng fish.

To Investigate Irrixation.

WASHINGTON, February 14th.-The resolution of Senator Stewart for the appointment of special committee on irrigation, passed the Senate this morning, and the committee was ap- pointed shortly thereafter. It consists of Stewart (chairman), Allison, Plumb, Hiscock, German, Reagan and Jones of Arkansas. It is the intention that the committee shall visit during the recess of Congress all the states and territories where irrigation IS required, to learn by personal observation the characteristics of the country, with a view of devising a system of irrigation which shall be suitable to the various localities. If there is no extra session the committee will probably com mence its investigation in May or June, and will continue their explor- ations until they are satisfied that they will be able to devise system whereby the greater part of the arid lands susceptible of irrigation may be reclaimed

Tho Sample Mias.

Mir. Geo. H. Barnhart, t,superintendent of the San Pedro Consolidated Mining company, operating the Sample mine, has been in Tucson for several days.
 Development work will be com menced on this mine next week and MT. Barnhart has been purchasing and sending out supplies for the men. The work will be commenced with 16 to 20 men.
 Several shipments Of ore have been made from this mine during the past year, all of which run from 175 to 400 ounces to the ton.
 The mine is situated in Pinal coun- ty. The shaft is now down 225 feet, and it is intended to go down to the 400 foot level, besides running drifts in various directions from the differ ent levels, before putting in machinery for the reduction of the ore on the ground.
 It is estimated that over 100 tons of high grade ore is now in sight. The work now being done has in view not the amount of ore that can be taken out, but the object is to put the mine in proper shape to furnish ore for re- duction works as soon as possible.- Citizen.

THE United States senate has agreed to the amendment of the sundry civil appropriations bill appropriating two thousand dollars for the repair and care of the ancient Casa Grande ruins in this county and directing the site to be secured from sale or settle ment. The latter clause was hardly necessary as the ruins are upon a school section whose title still remains in the government. We rejoice that congress has taken some action re- garding the preservation of these in teresting relics of a prehistoric people, for they are rapidly disintegrating through the agencies of time and the relic hunters.

WE believe we voice the sentiment of nine out of every te voters of Pi- nal county in opposing the circuit court bill now before the legislature, as an unnecessary and expensive measure. It is highly probable that a fourth United States Judge will be given Arizona, which will obviate all the alleged necessity of the proposed new court, and if the additional Judge is not provided, we can endure the present system for the short time that must elapse until our territory is ad- mitted as a state and a new judiciary system inaugurated.

him because he was the friend of every honest man and woman; none too poor to get from him kind word and helping hand; we support him because he stood by every inch of Ari zona soil and befriended and fought for every part of the territory; we sup port him because he first introduced large eastern capital to successfully develop our mines; we support him because he Is natural born pioneer, and had brought civilization and pros perity to every new country he had E touched, and Arizona is the third ter ritory he has helped 10 settle.
 These are a few of the reasons why we support him; but in so doing we have no unkind word to say of the other aspirants. He has been tried as few men have been, and proved faithful to the end.
 We know what he did, and in our judgment, in the history of Arizona there has never been a time when he he could do us more good than now. These are our reasons frankly given they are facts that cannot be sue cessfully controverted. We believe the reasons are good why we should give him our cordial support. If oth CTS disagree with us it is their right tc do so, and there Is no reason why an gry words should be spoken on either side; and when the President ulti mately decides the question, let al cheerfully acquiesce in his decision.

 a productive agricultural country, sev- eral thriving towns and two important military stations, and reaching Globe, the bonanza copper camp of Arizona.
