Obituary.

Charles Drake Esq, the father of our esteemed fellow townsman, Chas. R. Drake, passed away last night in peaceful slumber about ? o'clock. Mir. Drake had turned the 18th mile post in life, an age which is allotted to few. During his last short illness he was surrounded by relatives and friends who ministered to his wants with lov- ing hands. He was born at Richmond, Va, March 30th, 1911, was married in Louisville, Ky, in 1886. He led an eventful life in the early politics of our country, particularly among the prom inence of Clay, Calhoun and Webster and was an old line whig. For several years before the war, he was resident of Holly Springs Miss, and was Union man throughout. At the close of the war he was appointed Mayor of Holly Spring by Major General Ames, then commander of the union forces at that point. When the yellow fever was destroying Mississippi, MT. Drake, with many others, fled from Holly Springs to point of safety.
 In 1880 he came to Tucson on a visit to his son, and from that time until the present he has lived most of the time with him, as the climate here seemed to agree with him. He leaves three children, J. M. Drake of River side, Cal, Mrs. Ella NJ. Finch, Nash vile, Tenn, and Chas. R. Drake of our city.-Citizen, Nov. 18th.

Dicussing the good qualities of the country you live in, sometimes gets tiresome to it's people, but it is neces- sary to it's success. The work done for the Salt River valley the past year by the papers of Phenix, has been of in- calculable benefit to the valley. Six invalids came in on yesterdays train, all attracted here by the reports of the country's adaptability to this class of people. The name of Phenix is fast becoming famous as health re- sort, and it is mainly due to the press of Phenix.-Phenix Gazette.

The Florence ENTERPRISE, always a good paper, has taken 8 step forward which is an evidence of prosperity that will be a source of qualification to the many friends of its proprietors, Messrs. R. C. and Geo. W. Brown. They are contemplating gentlemen, and thorough ly competent to make known to the outside world the many resources of Pinal county, and this they have done to their own credit and the great ad- vantage of the county in the past. Now that liberal patronage has en- abled them to issue their paper in an enlarged form, they will be better able to serve their patrons than ever before, and the knowledge that their labors have been appreciated will incite them in the future to more energetic and faithful work if possible, ,'than in the past. The ENTERPRISE is now the largest weekly paper published in Arizona, not connected with a daily, and this fact is thing of which the people of Final county should be proud, as it speaks well for them abroad, and they should increase their patronage to the ENTERPRISE to the extent of covering all additional ex- pense, and more, required for the pub lication of the paper in its enlarged form.-Daily Citizen.

Did Not Get Him.

Sheriff N. T. Gray, of Maricopa county, and Sheriff M F. Shaw return ed from Altar last night where they went with the hope of getting Francis co Vega, who is imprisoned there. Vega is the murderer of Barney Martin, wife and two children two years ago at Nigger Wells. The officers saw their man in jail but those in custod of Vega would not give him up. The gov ernor of Sonora had been there a few days previous and gave positive orders not to surrender the prisoner to Amer ican authorities as he was a Mexican citizen; that it was matter to be de- termined by the president of Mexico and he would not interfere in any way. So the officers returned without their game. The persistent efforts of Sheriff Gray to secure this criminal is certain ly very commendable.-Star.

HORRIBLE DEATH.
A Mexican Meets a Horrible Death
 While Riding the Brakes.

While Riding the Brakes.
 On last Wednesday night at about 1 o'clock a. m. as the east bound train No. 2 was pulling out from Bellemont a young Mexican by the name of Car los Puralto attempted to ride the brakes and. was run over and killed. He was first seen by the brakeman sitting on the water tank with his feet resting on the baggage car, and was ordered to get off, which he did. He then walked toward the back end of the train and again attempted to steal ride, and not being noticed by the train men, the signal to go was given. The train had gone but few feet when this unfortunate mans body was mangled by the moving train, the wheels running over the lower part of his body, almost severing his legs from the body, the same being held together only by small muscles. He was not dead when first reached, and spoke only a few words. He said he was from Sonora, N. M. No one seemed to know him. The wounded man was placed on the train and brought to Flagstaff, when Dr Cornish, the phy- sician of the A. & P. Railroad Com pany was summoned, but the poor Mexican had passed beyond any mor- tai aid, and died at o'clock that night. Judge Weatherford summoned a jury to hold an inquest over the body, and the verdict was, that he came to his death from the causes mentioned, and without criminal negligence on the part of any one.-Flagstaff Democrat.

The fortune of the tiller of Arizona soil will be found In the production of the olive, figs, prunes, almonds, and English walnut.s The climate, soil and the surrounding conditions are favera- ble to the production of all these arti- cles, and the demand must always be greater than the supply, as the area of country in which these products can be grown is limited and the population is constantly increasing. An orchard of olives or nut trees in this section of Arizona six seven years old will prove of more value and return more per manent income than any other in vestment which can be made.-Star.

THE trial of the persons charged with the robbery of Paymaster Wham is occupying the attention of the United States Court at Tucson and is attracting great deal of attention. The testimony brought out by the prosecution 50 far is very damaging to the prisoners, Notwithstanding which we risk little in predicting either their acquittal or the disagreement of the jury. We are informed that the testi- mony given will be met by equally positive proof that the prisoners were in another part of the county when the crime was committed. Their guilt or innocence cuts very little figure now it is a contest of hard swearing.

THE funds for the support of the in- sane asylum are provided by special direct tax, and the territorial treasury contains sutficlens. 4lIo.i2y to meet all current demands for the support of that institution. The board of direct ors, with the warrants they returned unused to the Governor, could have received the cash upon presenting them to the territorial treasurer, but for political reasons they refused to do so. By this unwise action they as- sume all the responsibility for the non-payment of their bills and have forfeited their claims upon the pub lie sympathy and support. When they can pay their bills and will not do so, only themselves are to blame.

Bisbee Notes.

From a gentleman who returned from Bisbee we learn that thirty men were discharged from the Copper Queen last Sunday, and that the 100 ton smelter was shut down last week. A new smelter of the same capacity is being erected and will be in blast by the 1st of next January. It is the gen eral opinion that more men will be laid off this month. No copper is being shipped, and an enormus pile of bars are being stacked up. There are four butcher shops and they are doing well. The company has reduced its force in the store.-Epitaph.

CONSIDERABLE speculation is being indulged in by the press of the coun- try regarding the probable action of congress with regard to the remaining territories. and the impression seems to prevail that an omnibus measure will be passed for the admission of Wyoming, New Mexico and Arizona The iermer tgo have already prepar- ed consiitntions for adoption and have taken all the preliminary steps usual ly imposed upon territories seeking admission, but if Arizona comes in at the extreme end of the procession it will have the satisfaction of know ing, while it will be the youngest of the sisterhood, it will be the best looking and richest of them all.

AN INDIANS SUICIDE.
 The Los Angles Herald of Novem- Der 12 published the following account of the death of Mike, the Yuma Ind ian, charged with the murder of Elvira, the young squaw killed on the reserva- ton, on the 18th of September:
 Yesterday morning about 7:15 o'clock one of the United States pris- oners in the county jail, Yuma Ind ian named Ahladicam, alias Miguel, committed suicide by strangling him. self with silk handkerchief in his cell. At7 o'clock the Indian was seen lying on his cot by one of the trusties, who spoke to him. A quarter of an hour later Jack Sullivan, another trusty, passed the cell, and saw "Ind- ian" Mike, as he was called, standing apparently on tiptoe behind the door Of the cell. On investigation, however, Sullivan found that the savage had run silk handkerchief through ring in the door some six and a half feet from the floor, and, after standing up- on a bucket, tied the handkerchief securely round his neck. He must then have kicked the bucket from un- der his feet and deliberately choked to death. Blood was trickling from the suicides nose and mouth, while his eyes and tongue protruded in horri- ble manner.

THERE is @ good time coming for the people of Final county, and if they arc willing to help it along on it's journey hither it will come all the sooner. This county possesses all the natural resources necessary for the maintenance of population equal to that of the whole Territory to-day, and 1t is specially favored in the facilities nature has also provided to assist in their development. The water sup ply by the construction of a stor- age reservoir at the Buttes, is ample for all purposes of irriga- tion; the land upon which it will flow is among the most product i've in the world; the mines are the richest in the precious metals and the water power created by the great dam at the Buttes cannot be duplicated anywhere in the territory. Our land will produce everything of necessity
 or luxury that man can desire and all these advantages are supplemented by climate that is almost perfect for seven months of the year and for the remaining five months it is no more disagreeable than during sn equal portion of the year anywhere else in the United States. Surely with all these rich inheritances Pinal county ought to prosper, and with little
 timely effort on the part of its people it can anticipate the natural growth that is always leisurely inclined.

Johney Seville, an old-time Dos Ca bezas miner, recently found a gold nugget worth about $40 in Maple Grove canyon, below the mill and mines of Fowler & McGregor. The nugget is now in the possession of George Raum. Considerable placer mining was at one time done in the canyon where this nugget was dis covered, and it was supposed that the precious yellow stuff had about all been "washed out" But it would seem that there is gold there yet. It is found, however, only in small pockets, and mining has never been very profit able there.-Wilcox Stockman.

The Driving of Cattle Across the Colo
 radO Desert to be Tried.

rhuO DeSerC To pc Ir1eu'
 G. w. Lang will make an expert ment that will be looked upon by cat tie men with much interest. It is nothing more or less than the driving of l ,OOO head of steers across the Colo rado desert to Los Angeles.
 The cattle have already been pur- chased near Altar, Sonora, and the drive will begin next week. Mr. Lang estimates that he can save $4,000 by driving, over the shipment by rail.
 He has just come across the desert and knows what he is doing. He spent six weeks time in crossing, and has mapped out the drive from day to day. He will rely entirely upon the native feed and water supply on the desert, and is confident that he will be entire ly successful with the undertaking.
 If this method of getting cattle to marketis establishedsas feasible one, 1t will revolutionize the cattle business of Southern Arizona. MT. Lang is a practical man, and no one can tell him anything about the cattle busi ness.-Prospector.
