Wild Animals

Wild animals have been playing sad havoc with stock Tn this county dur ing the past year. A prominent stock man of the county, to-day, informed the Journal-Miner man, that he b, : lieved $10,000 would not cover the loss for that time. Expectations have not been confined to any single locality, but reports of loss come from all sec tions. The heaviest loss sustained has probably been in the vicinity of lower Agua Fria. Vim. Deering re- ports the loss of five fine colts ly mountain lions since July, and two calves killed by bears. Dave Thomas has lost two colts by mountain lions, and D. Wanless two, during the same period. MT. Deering thinks he knock ed out the depredating bear by dose of poison, as it returned and made a meal of the carcass of poisoned calf; but he failed to find MT. Bruins dead body.-Journal.

A Scheme to Carr Volume of Water
 FOrty-Ffve Miles.

Donald w. Campbell, the we'll known civil engineer, returned to Den yer Saturday from Phenix, Arizona, at which place he put in some days looking into the possibility of con structing an enormous canal. As now proposed, it is to carry 1,250 cubic feet of water per second, which it is
 honght will be sufficient to water 100000 acres of land. The "aqua pura" is to come from the Gila river, and is to be carried for a distance oi ifty-fve miles. A corps of engineers IS now estimating the work and ex- pense, aud ii it is thought to be reas- onabIe the Buckeye Canal Company Is said to have sufficient capital back of it to put the ditch through with a rush.
 MT. Campbell says that Phenix is one of the most cnterprising cities in the west. He declares that from the middle of September to the middle of May its climate cannot be excelled anywhere on the earth On the 12th of September, however, the thermome- ter registered 101 degrees in the shade.

Senator Stewart on Irrigation.

San Francisco, October 2-Senator Stewart, of Nevada, arrived5 here this morning. The senate committee on irrigation oI which he is q member, has closed its investigations, and its members have gone to their respec- i've homes. In an interview to-day Senator Stewart stated that the com mittee has been on the road fifty days and has taken the testimony of 400 witnesses distributed through Mime
 ,,a, Nor,h and South Dakota, Mon- ana, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, ''lh Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Kansas. Colorado and Nebraska. The principal irriga- ton systems in the United States have been visited and careful observa- ion made of the development and practical results of their irrigation ca nals. The great artesian wells of the northwest, some of them 1000 feet deep, have been examined and their working noted. The committee also examined number of sites for the storage of water. Great natural ba- sins, which need but little effort to constitute them gigantic reservoirs making it possible to irrigate millions of acres of land, and numbers of lakes were also located. The committee made journey of some 12 900 miles and has gathered vast amounts of use ful information upon all phases of the irrigation problem. Upon one point 1t has found entire concurrence among farmers and fruit growers who have resorted to irrigation-that is, that crops are rendered not only more cer- ain, but much more abundant, by he use of water just when they need it, rather than when by accident g .'ainfall supplies it. Many estimates ,dduced as to the advantages afforded in this respect by irrigation, the low est of which is that by irrigation the 'rop is twice as abundant as when de pendent on rainfall alone Other es
 imates grade crops produced by irri gation all the way from three up tC five-fold in quantity. The results o
 he investigation will be embodied il | report to be made to the senate dur ing the approaching session of con
 .ress. Senator Stewart speaks witl enthusiasm concerning the commit | tees work.

Our contemporary contains 3 tele gram from Washington stating that an investigation has been ordered of charges preferred against JudgeJ. H. Wright. The charges stated in the telegram are "for overriding laws of the territory in imposing penalties prescribed in the statutes" This would certainly not be serious charge, as judges are expected to impose penalties prescribed by the statutes. There is, however, strong probabil- ity that either the telegraph, or the compositor omitted the word "not" and imposing penalties NOT prescrib- ed in the statutes" would be the more reasonable view of the charges, and probably refers to the exile of two citizens from Apache county at the April term of court 1SS7 The pro- ceedings were commented on at the time as being without precedent. What view may be taken by the author ities at Washington remains yet to be seen.-PrescOtt JOurna' Miner.

No Territorial Remedy Against School
 Land GIabbers.

Several months ago the Executive Department of this Territory thought some revenue should be derived from the occupation of the ]6th and 36th sections of land which will pass to Arizona for the benefit of her schools, when she becomes q State. At pres ent much valuable land of that class is occupied by tenants who pay no rent therefor to anybody. Governor Wolfley accordingly wrote to the Gen eral Land Office for instructions in the premises. The following is a copy of the answer recently received:
 DEPARTMENT OF THE INFERIOR,
 GENERAL LAND OFFICE,
 WAsHINGroN, D. C., Sept. IS, 's9.) Hon. Lewis Wolfey, Governor of Ari-
 zona, Phenix, Arizona.
 SIR: In reply to your inquiry of May 9th last, addressed to the Hon. Secretary of the Interior, and by him referred to this office, I would state that I know of no law by which the Territory can control the 18th and 36th sections reser ved under section 1916, Revised Statutes, for the benefit of schools.
 The act of February 25th, 1885, (29 Stat. S21) makes the unlawful occu- patton of said sections after survey, a misdemeanor, punishable by fine and imprisonment; and all improvements made thereon by such occupations will inure to the benefit of the future State Beyond this, however, I know of nc way in which the Territory might de rive revenue therefrom without ad ditional legislation by Congress.

We DO Well to Make of 1t a Festal Day
and u Day of Gifts.
What were the darkness of a world
that had no Christmas birth? Think of
a Christless world, one with no knowl-
edge Of a future life. no assurance OF
immortality. What is the darkness and
the pain Of a soul feeling after God and
hope and ever cropping in vain? Read
an old philosopher encouraging himself
to believe that a future life is likely be-
cause we have "reminiscences Of a pre-
viOus life, or a modern philosopher in
his last years ending his essay on The
ism with the conclusion that the evil
dence for a God slightly predominates
over the evidence against His existence.
but that there is no sufficient indication
that He is wholly good. Because We
have the birth in Bethlehem and the
resurrection from the sepulcher Of Jo-
seph We have nc fear Of the grave. Its
sting is removed; its victory is gone.
We know in whom We have believed, and
that He will keep what we have intrust-
ed to Him until His great day.
We do well 70 make this festal day a
day Of gifts. Christ was Gods great Gift
to man. 1t vas when Paul was urging
his readers to give gifts TO others that
he burst out with that exclamation
which should be their Hottest example
as it was their dearest Joy: Thanks be
unto God for His u~1speakable gift" As
much as to say: If the Father God could
give to Us the life o: His own well-be-
loved Son, what is there that We can not
give 10 our brethren in their need? The
word still holds good in these latter
such a priceless gift on Us. We surely
can give our lesser gifts to Him and to
His children in their need. and to our
" dear ones. as pledges of u lesser
and finite love.
So let the feast and the gifts recall
the day Of JOY when the angels and the
stars sang the gladdest day of all
earth's history. Let the children come
from the chimney corner with their
stockings filed with toys. to rejoice be
cause Jesus came and therein blessed
little children. Let the tables be
loaded with the fruits of the year, and
households gather around them and
thank God for the Gift of all gifts. And
