A Bofty Question

The act of Congress lcgalizing all acts of the legislature of Arizona that were otherwise defective, suggests some com plications that might arise with refer enee to the proceedings of the last leg islature. Acting under the construc- tion of the law that d:ssols,s the legis- lature by limitation upon the compile tion of sixty days session, Governor Zuhck "pocket-vetoed" several bills presented to him for signature during the closing days of the session. This method of disposing of unsatisfactory acts without an absolute veto is simply the retention of the bills without exec utive approval, until the legislature ad- journs, providing such time does not extend over ten days. By the net of Congress in question the session that gps prolonged several weeks beyond the sixty days limit was legalized, and  the ques ton Is HOW raised whether the pock et-yetoed acts did not become laws after the expiration of ten days after their receipt by the governor Up to the passage of the ac. of Congress these enactinents were regarded as dead and they were not included in the ses- sion laws published. Being in de- funct condition the final decision must be bas, q upon the power of Congress to resurrect as law thing having no existence, without stating its provisions or alludine to it in special terms, The application of the act is clear enough regarding the published and official acts of the several legislatures, but its potency in revivihg the abortiye at tempts at legislation may be seriously questioned, Florence Enterprise.

Fight with A Renr.

A hunter named Montgomery nearly lost his life in the Huachuca mountains last Monday. He went away from camp alone to hunt through the hills and soon came upon bear with two cubs. He shot one of the cubs and woull have had no trouble in getting the mother had not the empty shell stuck in the rife barrel so that he could not extract if. Bruin made for him and using the rife for club, he de- tended h mself until the animal struck it awny from him, when he took to a tree and climbed that, but the bear was thoroughly cnraged and pulled him from the trunk as he was making the ascent. After having him in her power she tore bis flesh in horrible shape, tearing the muscles from bis legs and arms, lacerating his scalp and nearly taking one arm com .Jletely of. The unfortunate man was found by his companions and taken to the post where he lies now in critical condi- ton. Tombstone Prospeetor.

n.e Rapid Destruction of Our Forests.

According to a government report on the consumption of forest supplies by railroads, about 73, 900, 900 ties are an nually needed for new construction and renewals by the roads of the United States, which is equivalent to about 365, ,000, 900 cubic feet of raw material. The various woods are estimated to be used in about the following proportions Oak, 45,000, ,000; chestnut, 3,500,00 pine, 12,500, 900; red, white and Cali fornia cedar, 5,0G0, 900; hemlock and tamarack, 2,500,00O; cypress, 1,5G0, 900; redwood, 2i500, ,000; other kinds, 800, ,000. Thus oak furnishes about Go per cent of the supply, and not only from choice trees mainly, but from the young growth, which may make one tie to the tree or cut For bridge anl treoile work 60, 900 cubic feet of sawed material may be added to the re qnlrement, so that total of 5U',p0j i, 900 cubic feet of wood in the shape oi round timber for railroad purposes seems to be reasonable estimate uf the annual consumption This requires the culling of the best timber from probably more than 1000, 000 acres of natural forest lands, and to furnish this amount continually it is calculated that not less than from 10, 900, 900 to l5,- GOO, 0G0 acres of well managed forest woald be required, or with the present absence of management the area to be reserved for the purpose would have to exceed 50, 1000, 600 acres, or more than 10 per cent of the present forest area of the untry.-Scientific Ameri can

m. KoCH's DISCOVERY.

Dr. Koch's theory of the nature oi consumption has been entertained for years. This should have tendency to stimulate confidence ill his conclusions and in the probability that he will ul- timately gain substantial triumph where he has now achieved only com paratiye and conditional victory. He is noted as one of the most talented, and one of most modest, of living in, vestigators, and the world may safely rely upon him to tell the exact truth in the matter. But we must not expect too much of him. We must not ask him to do more than he advertises. and then pronounce him fraud because he fails to meet our requirements It must be considered that the discovery of means to eradicate consumption Is n thing to be ranked with the highest of scientific disclosures. The man who shall accomplish that undertaking will have place among the leading bene- factors of civilization. Dr. Koch has unquestionably made good start to ward such distinction, and his pros poets of reaching il are very encourag ing; but he has many difficulties yet to overcome, and is entitled to fair op- portunity to make additional tests. Give him tine. and let his work be judged not by what others may say of it, but by what he is willing to claim for it. He has not said that consump- tion i'll all stages and in all contingen- cies can be cured; he only asserts that he has discovered a remedy which has proved effective in certain cases, and which he thinks will be equally success ful in all corresponding cases.

 The Mammoth mine, in this county, on the San Pedro river, stands to-day one of the most successfully managed enterprises of the kind in the West. From its vast bodies of ore and the sys- tenn displayed in the development, mining operations are conducted upon basis of economy that is truly com nendable, and only twenty-six miners are required to supply the daily con sumption of one hundred tons of ore. Capt J. W. Johnston, the superinten- dent, has directed all the affairs of this property since the first company was formed to operate it five years ago. The output of bullion is steady and sat isfactory and when further improve ments, now under contemplation, are completed, the Mammoth will soon take deserved rank among the great dividend. payers of the world.

The Postal seryies.

Postmaster General Wapamaker in has annual report says regarding re- duced postage, in point of fact there is a gaiu of $50, GOO, 900 from the letter postage. This large profit is all swal- lowed up hy losses on the other classes of mail matter. The amount received from letter postage last year was s38, O0l, l,000; reduction to one cent would bring this down to S1,00o, 900 deficiency, for the current year about SI, 500,0 900. This deficiency would be reduced by the na.arL increase of bus mess dne to the stiinulus of low rate and by the completion of legislation to collect proper postage from sample companies. A business alone of over Sl, U00, ,0O0, is annually lost ih the tran sportation of paper covered books. More than 3l, ,000, G00 is Rep. ont of the postal income for the benefit of certain book publishers. The most formidable item, however, is sS, 000,- 01o of work performed annually with ont pay for the executive departments. If they had paid postage the revenue would have been $s, 000, 900 more an- nually The revenues of the Depart iuent for the year were S60, s5s, 7S3 !; expenditures and liabilities, sec, 645, 0o3; the deficiency for the year was therefore S5, 786, 3DU.

wI' Compete with Armour, svin a flor.


 If there is my truth in the assertion that competition lowers prices, it may be that the people of America are about to be delivered out of the jaws of the "big four" beef combine. The recent purchase of 5000 acres of land near Hammond, Ind, by Messrs. Armour, Swift < Morris, the big packers and dressed beef dealers, has caused a de- cided stir Ut the Chicago stock yards and among the railroads which were in- terested ill the establishment of n new stock yards plant at Il point some miles west of that city. The secession of the best beef men not only threatened to seriously interfere with the value of the plant at the present stock yards, but also to jeopardize the success of the other venture The result has been that with the aid of English capital q project is on foot for enlarging the fa- cilities of the present stock yards and the erection of immense packing houses to be operated in opposition to Messrs. Armour, Swift X Morris. Secretary Williams, of the stock yards company, says that the capital is to come from New York, Boston, London and Chica- go. The enterprise is not confined to Chicago. It will take i,, Kansas City and Omaha, where similar houses will be erected. It will take sS, 900, 900 or S10, 900, 000 to get it well under way. Optic.

 The Courier is informed that the work of erecting dam on Lynx creek, about eight miles east of Prescott, will, ere long, be completed. MT. Pedley has had charge of the work, and his management has been good. Those who ought to know tell us that the dam will impourd sufficient water to run several hydraulic mining enterprises, likewise irrigate good many sections of land in Lonesome Valley, so that next spring and summer will. we think, see good many miners at work below the new water works.-Prescott Courier.
 The fact thst the new wagon road between Florence and Globe will re- duce the freighting distance between that place and the railroad to less than eighty-five Il iles as against one hun dred and forty by the Wilcox route, will determine the question of the choice of routes by consumers. To this advantage may be added the equally important one of good, hard, practi- cal freighting road, equally as service able in wet as in dry weather. Pinal county will offer its Globe neighbors highway worthy tbeir consideration, and if it does not prove to be superior b the present route We will construct railroad over it for their accommoda- ton.

Prof H. R. Elliott, of the Smithso- nian Institution, will present report to Congress on it's re assembling on the seal fur industry In his report Prof. Elliott, it is understood, will recom- mend that the catch of fur seals at the American rookeries he suspended for a period of seven years This period of inactivity he considers absolutely nee essary for the preservation of the seals from utter snuihilation At the pres ent time he estimates that there are only 100,0 seals in American waters.
 he continued de,reoations upon them by pirates and otherwise has reduced the number so much that hardly q suf- aeient number remain for breeding purposes. The utmost care he consid- CTS necessary to preserve the few that remain, or else the magnificent indus try which was purchased from Russia with the Alaska cession will become ex- tinct It was on account of Prof. FL hott's knowledge Of the fur seal indus
 try that he was especially designated by Congress to visit Alaska and make q report on the subject The agents of the fur seal companies who enjoyed the privileges about the Islands of St
 George and St yaul made representa- tions that there were l,00O,0 ,00O seal in the American rookeries. Other reports placed the number at 800, 900, and still others at lesser humber. All these reports are conflicting, and made by parties more or less interested, and induced Congress to send Prof. Elliott to Alaskan waters, and his report that not over 100000 seal have survived the war of extermination will, it is be- heved, call halt in their destruction. and his recommendation that the catch be suspt tnded fur seven years will doubt less be acquiesced in by Congress.
