Soon the citizens will come in con tact with class of men known in political parlance as candidates. They appear periodically every two years, and have no other mission than to serve the dear people in performing to perfection the duties of the office they seek. They know everybody and knew their great-grandfather before them. They only seek the office be- cause of the many solicitations to do so. They are friendly, social, polite, generous, lively and accommodating. They will agree witk the voter on every proposition but one, and that is that their opponent is more compe- tent than they are for the office sought. Soon the citizens and tax payers of Yavapai county will be call ed upon to select from their number men for the various county offices, and in doing so they should endeavor to select men who are competent honest and faithful men who will dis charge their duty irrespective of any political party or creed; men who realize that office Is a public trust, and belongs to the people and not to the incumbent of the office; men who have the interest of their constituents at heart and will guard against any invasion of the taxpayers rights, and i if this class of men are elected the peo- pie will have no cause for complaint The officer who will battle against fraud in all it's forms and stand forth as sentinel on the post for the main tenance of his fellow citizens rights, is man who will do to depend on and will have friends by the hun dreds, be he democrat or republi- can.-Flagstaff Democrat.

Important Arrest.

E. s. McNulty was arrested Tn Ben son Saturday night on a charge of having murdered Al Richards. Me Nulty is we'll known in Bisbee and Tombstone where he has resided for number of years. He is an American by birth, aged 45 years and had been at work in the Emerald mine up to the 9th of the present month. The cause for suspecting him is not pub lie matter as yet, but the officers think they have the right man. Sher- riff Slaughter worked on the case and had the accused arrested. He left Tombstone with one of his children, telling his friends that he was on his way to Harshaw, but at Fairbank he took the train for Benson where he was arrested on telegram from the sheriffs office. When he was con fronted by the officer he declared that he had not the remotest idea of the charge on which he was taken back to Tombstone. He stated that he was on his way to California with the child to deliver it to the mother, who it will be remembered eloped with Charley Hammond about a year ago from Bis bee, leaving the father and two small children behind. McNulty had been sleeping at Richards place for some time prior to the murder, but for a few nights immediately preceding the killing he had slept elsewhere al though his blankets still remain Tn Richards back room. Sixty-nine dol lars was the sum of money found or his person when arrested. The chilo was cared for at Benson and the ac cused occupies a cell in the county iail.-Prospector

Cargo MuchachO Notes.

Mir. J. B. Steiger is about to com mence extensive development work upon his group of mines. The Guada- lupe shaft will be sunk considerably deeper and several additional levels will be run. MT. Steiger has interested New York and California capitalists who have expressed their intention of inaugurating thorough exploration, with the view of erecting suitable re- duction works should circumstances warrant. The showing of ore at this time is more than aattering.
 The Cargo Muchacho Mining Com pany has changed two of its mill mortars, replacing them with others of a different pattern. Itwas found that the plan saved greatly from loss of gold-the tailings at present assaying but $1 per ton. Connection has been made between the winze on the 35O foot level and the main shaft of the Cargo Muchacho mine. The work was in accordance with the surveys of MT. Steiger-the connection coming out exact. The vein show excellently on the 400-foot level where it is be- tween six and ten feet wide, while on the $50 foot level the ore chute has been encountered. It is widening rapidly and it is expected, will attain the width shown in the level above, It not much more.
 The Pasadena Mining Company, under the able management of Will liam Bostwick is sinking a new shaft one hundred feet deep, on the Co lumbia claim. The prospects for large and permanent ore body were never better.
 Between thirty and forty locations and relocations were made in this dis trict so far this year.-Yuma Times.

IF the amount of railroad talk one hears throughout the territory is any indication of renewal of activity in the construction of new lines, there is reason to hope for the early building of one or more north and south roads as well as an east and west trunk line. The territory is favorably situated in @ geographical sense for securing several through lines between the Pacific coast and the east. It is below the snow belt and is not troubled with destruc- tive floods, while there are very few engineering difficulties to be overcome. The rich and extensive valleys of the southern portion of the territory must necessarily contribute largely to the support of railroad, for in the very na- ture of things they will eventually be- comes densely peopled and export largely theirfmmense fruit productions. The Gila valley throughout the entire breadth of Arizona comprises an un- occupied field of railroad operations that will prove very profitable to those who secure it. It is convenient to the settlements and to the mines and its future is sufficiently brightsto attract the attention of the most conservative railroad builders.

Russian Influenza.

Almost every one is now interested in knowing the proper treatment for this disease. According to the best au- thorities it requires precisely the same treatment as a severe cold, and it is generally known that there is nothing better for a severe cold than Chamber lain's Cough Remedy taken as direct ed. Extreme care should be taken to keep the feet dry and warm, the body we'll clothed and to avoid exposure, especially when recovering from the disease, and to keep up the vitality
 Persons physically weak should take tonics to keep up their strength. It is also important that the bowels be kept regular. No ordinary case is likely to require any further treatment than this to insure a complete recov- cry For sale by Thos. F. Weedin.

THE disgust of the democratic na- tions at the vices of royalty are some what frightened by the recent pre- sumption of ex-king Milan who, after sustaining loss of 500,000 francs at the gambling tables at Monto Carlo while on a wild carousal, sent friend to borrow a sum of his divorced wife, queen Natalie, and to secure her in- huence in obtaining a large sum from the Servian treasury.

GORGE, SHOWING DEPTH OF WATER IN MID-sU December and January in winter, and at these times the vast watershed of the Gila and San Pedro rivers, ap- proximating a scope of country fully two hundred miles square, sends down flood of water that passes on to the Gulf of California without serving any useful purpose whatever. The re- straint of these waters is the object of the proposed reservoir and it's con struction will serve the economic de- sign of nature when it fashioned the great basin so perfectly for that pur- pose.
 As provision against possible sea- sons of extreme drouth the construc- tion of this reservoir is of no small importance, for it will insure at all times an abundant supply of water even though not drop of rain should fall for an entire year.
 The creation of a magnificent water power is not among the least of the benefits to be derived from the build ing of this dam. In dropping to the level of the present canals the power of the fall can be utilized without the least wastage of water, and it is in the proper locality to be put to good and

DURING the last session of Congress

DURING the last session of Congress a land court bill for the adjudication of titles to the land grants in Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming and Arizona, was introduced and strong efforts made by claimants to se- cure it's passage. When the exemp- ton of Arizona was secured from it's provisions it's promoters ceased their efforts to secure it's passage and 1t failed to become Q law This fact in itself is significant and is conclusive evidence that the main object of the bill is to further the interests of grant claimants in Arizona. The present land court bill before congress, is simi- lar in all essential respects to that of last year and it is supported by the same element. Ex-Representatiye Phil. B. Thompson, of Kentucky, one of the incorporators of the Casa Grande I'm provement Company, (controling and operating the bogus Peralta grant,) appeared before the House Committee on private land claims a few days ago and made an argument in favor of the bill now pending. He represents the Peralta grant which has been floated over the richest and fairest valleys of Arizona. He and his associates req lize that their scheme is a hopeless one before the national congress and they are moving heaven and earth to secure land court that they can con trol to consider their fraudulent claims. Failing in obtaining favor able court their case is still far from discouraging. In fact it is upon the most desirable footing the claimants can hope for. Their case once brought before the court upon q plausible showing, every settler within the five million acres claimed will be at theil mercy. Every title will be clouded and during the long years of tediou; litigation that will be purposely pro longed, the claimants can levy black, mail upon the settlers at their pleas ure. Tho fraudulent character of the grant has been fully proven by U. s Surveyor Royal A. Johnson, in his com plete and admirable report to tho Commissioner of the General LanC Office, and before congress the clain has no chance of confirmation. The only hope for the parties interested tC reimburse themselves for the money they have expended in the bad specu lation is to wiring it out of the settler, by clouding their titles in cour
 having special jurisdiction in sucl cases. The advocacy of the bill bl Phil. B. Thompson is enough to con demn it. His interests are diametri cally opposed to those of the settler of this valley and our people shoul, put forth every effort, individually an, collectively, to prevent the consum nation of this outrageous scheme.

One of the delicate products gather ed from the mountain forests of this Territory by natives is the soft-shelled pinon; pronounced "peen-yo-ny." The Indians collect the large ripe cones of the Monophylla pine, which they roast. The thin-shelled kernels, little larger than "soldiers beans," and of rich brown color, drop out by the thousand, and are gathered up for storing and for the market. In this condition, slight ly parched, they possess a delicate, sweet taste, entirely unlike any other nut, the meat being tender and agree able, not adhering at all to the shell. On account of their small size some people prefer to chew up shells and all, and not to bother with husking them. The pinon and the Mexican are great friends and make the picture of con- tentment.-Florence Moral and Scien- tihc Companion.

BELOW I'll by your committee to make a prelimi- nary survey of, and make report on, the Storage Reservoir location in the Butte Canyon, on the Gila River, some fifteen miles above Florence, I have the honor to submit the follow ing, with accompanying maps, profles, etc., as the result of said survey:

They dry up, wither, dwindle away finally, but in the meantime never having robust health, know nothing of the physical enjoyment, the zest of that existence to which they cling with such remarkable tenacity They are always to be found trying to mend by tinkering at themselves with some trashy remedy, tonic or ''pick me up" to give fillip to digestion, or ''help the liver" If such mis- guided folks would resort and adhere to Hos letters Stomach Bitters it would be well with them.

of THE RESERVOIR, LOOKING EAST, FROM DAM useful purpose. The site of the whole reservoir is completely surrounded With rich and extensive mines and re- duction works for treatment of the ores Is among the requirements of the future. Power will also be abundant for the generation of electricity for manufacturing purposes along the rlver, even to Florence. In fact there IS scarcely a limit to the industrial uses this great enterprise will foster.
 The concentration of all these sev- eral important elements of wealth in one locality exhibits one of the most remarkable designs of nature for the evident benefit and prosperity of mankind. Here we find hundreds of thousands of acres of the choicest and most productive land under the sun. capable of producing perpetual crops that command remuneratiye prices; water supply that will furnish the power for unlimited useful uses before it is spread upon the lands below, and a mineral wealth of unlimited value all in the most convenient juxtaposi- tion, dependent each upon the other and blending into one harmonious centralization of widely diverse inter- ests such as few portions of the world can duplicate. Surely some wise pur- pose fashioned these unusual and promising advantages, and the day is not far away when the key 10 all this activity-the construction of the huge and comparatively inexpensive dam at the Buttes-will be forged and per ennial prosperity will dawn upon this happy and populous valley.

The Indians of Florence occasion ally bring in an unusually handsome and peculiar specimen of cactus, which they obtain only by chance from the most secluded and out-of-the-way places. It is of the magnificent blossoming Cereus variety, resembling the famous Night-Blooming Cereus. The root is one great bulb that looks like monstrous turnip, and is the reservoir and storehouse of the plant during the dry season. A long, grace ful, fou--sided stalk grows up and be- comes gradually curved and curled, reminding one of some beautiful ser pent. It is much admired and sought after by those who love-t the ornaments of Nature; and on the other hand, by the Indians it is highly esteemed for its medicinal properties. The needles appear as merely little rough pro jections not at all formidable or un- pleasant.-Florcene Moral and Scien- tific Companion.

 In the Music Mountains mining affairs are at present looking brighter than ever before, and good deal of development is being done.
 E. F. Thompson is making a fifty ton shipment from his Empire No. 2, Chloride. This is fine ore and will net check that will require five figures to express its value The ore IS being sampled at Lake & Smith s works.
 John K. Mackenzie has struck a body of good ore in the Cincinnati mine, which he recently bonded from W. H. Hardy. Until further develop ments nothing can be said as to the extent of it, but it bids fair to prove a profitable find
 F. Byers and P R. Washington have taken out 45 tons of ore from the three mines in that district. The | district needs reduction works, so that l the ore can be worked near the mines and the prospects arc at present favor able for them.

MT. E. E. Booth, the government timber agent for this part of Arizona, is doing his whole duty in the prem ises. He has been in Flagstaff for two months or more Investigating the timber cases against our townsmen, and we doubt not that when MT. Booth makes his report in the matter that this will end it. It was 8 shame and fraud in the first place to ever instigate these cases against our citizen, D. M. Riordan and others. From what we have learned (and we have received our information from good, reliable citizens of the town) we unhesitatingly say that these tim Der trespass cases against these parties ought never to have existed. It has put MT. Riordan and others to an enor- nous expense and trouble for nothing. These parties have invited a thorough, honest and strict investigation into this matter, and we believe that Mr.
 Booth will do this very thing, and when this is done, we have no doubt but what these parties accused of timber trespass will be at once acquitted Of the charge.-Flagstaff Democrat.

 J. H. Root, Tempe druggist, has re- moved his store to the building form erly occupied by Chas. Salari, and is getting it up as though intended to do the drug business of at least this portion of the valley.
 Prof. E. H. Perry, who has been sick for some weeks, has so far re- covered as to be about. He joined the Good Templars last Saturday night, and will give an entertainment under the auspices of that Order at the M E. Church next Monday evening.
