4 Mistake.

The propriety of abandoning Fort Thomas as 8 military post, we are in- formed, is questioned by officers fam iliar with the necessity of it's mainte- nance for the purpose for which it was built. The situation, on the verge of the San Carlos reservation, where are congregated several thousand In dians, is an admirable location. The reason assigned for the removal of troops now occupying it, that it is un- healthy, is not borne out by the off cisl report of deaths.
 The proposition now is to use it as a place for the instruction of Indian children. If unhealthy, it should be entirely abandoned. The water is pure and cool, and the alleged mias- matic influence arising from the waters of the Gila, if true, applies with equal force to the San Carlos Agency, also located on the margin of that stream, and to where part of the garrison stationed at Fort Thomas Is to be removed. Had the Secretary of War had personal knowledge of Fort Thomas and its surroundings, we credit him with too much sense to have issued the order withdrawing the troops, thus giving the Indians free access to the Graham mountains and San Simon valley and affording them the opportunity of murdering settlers on their way to Sonora.-Globe Silver Belt.

Another Sudden Death.

James Scow came here from Dos Ca bezas on Sunday afternoon last, bringing the sad intelligence that August Fowler, brother of William Fowler, had died suddenly, presumably from heart disease, Sunday morning MT. Fowler had been ailing for sometime. Sunday morning he came to the house of his brother William, and stating that he was feeling badly, laid down on a bed. William went to a neighbours shortly after, and on returning home in about an hour found his brother dead. The deceased was a young man of excellent character, a Scotchman by birth, and had lived Tn this section for good many years. All who knew him will read of his too esrIy death with sadness. ss.-Wilcox Stockman.

Oddities in Life Discovered by Census Enum.
 orators.

The census enumerator "Catches onto" great many oddities and incidents in human life that are not generally known even in the communities where the incl dents occur or the people to whom od- dities are attached reside. But then the census man is hand individual to reach and as impervious to the ingenuity of the interviewer as a politician who really does not want office. The reason of this is that the law enjoins upon him the strictest secrecy, especially with regard to statistics and forbids him divulging any information of statistical nature.
 In quiet, friendly talk with him, however, one will glean from here and there stray notes of decided interest. Then the lot of the average enumerdtor is hard one and the great wonder IS that more of them do not commit suicide than do. People swear at them, refuse to answer questions; declare them i'm pertinent and generally contribute to making their life unpleasant.
 In this country the enumerators say they find great many Mexicans who do not know thelr own ages nor the birth place of their parents. These people, however, can tell the exact ages of their children without hesitation but are wholly ignorant as to their own ages. Enumerator Sykes found Mexican wo- man in this city whose age is 46 years and who is the mother of 26 living chil- dren, all grown, and buried one that lived to be IA years of age. The woman is small of statue, enjoys good health and has happy, good natured disposI- tion. He also found another woman who is the mother of 26 children and whose age IS AS. The children are all living. Near Calabasas he found a Mexican wo- man who had three children aged re- spectively six, four and two years and the birthday of each is Nay P.
 Enumerator Piper, of Greaterville dis trict, found Mexican woman near that town who claimed to be no years of age. She is quite intelligent and seems to re- tain all her natural faculties to a re- markable degree.
 Of course they have trouble in some instances in ascertaining the exact age of people and some at first h4ty refuse to give their ages. They run up against this trouble mostly among unmarried ladies who, they say, manifest considera- ble objection to stating their ages. No gales Herald.

HydrOphObia's Awful AgOnieS.

A correspondent writing from Camg Verde, gives the following awful detail:
 of the horrible suferings and death O
 Charles Morris;
 'On the ninth or tenth of last May
 Charles Morris, while sleeping on the 1 ground in the mountains during rodeo,
 was badly bitten through the nose by a
 skunk. The animal had such a grip he could not for some time release himself
 from it with both hands, and he finally
 got on his knees, with his face near the
 ground, and got the animal by the throat Morrls went to some of the campers
 nearly covered with blood, but the animal
 made its escape.
 On the 18th of June, MT. Morris be came afraid to remain with his family, and went to the store in the evening. saw him the next morning, but hardly knew him, the tears were rolling down his face as he raised his head and spoke. He was nearly bent double, and would pace the floor all the time, and try to drink water, which he could not even look at without making hIm sick. He was running about in this way until Tuesday morning, when he got crow bar and was trying to pry up the floor, saying there were ants there. The doctor then tied him to lounge and hand cuffed him, to prepare for his horrible death. This was about 9 o'clock in the morning. He lay there trying to get loose, and such a terrible looking object one can never expect to see unless af- f1iCted with the same disease. His eyes were very large, his face drawn out of shape as he lay there kicking and strug- gling to free himself. People all left | the room, as no one could bear the sight. l He would point to the floor and say. There he is, kill himp He would froth | at the mouth and make an awful gurgIipg | noise which could be heard nearly a quarter of mile away. This he kept up until o'clock. when he breathed his last. He was nearly surrounded by blood when the breath left him. His remains were taken to central Verde for burial.
 Deceased had lived in this valley nearly twenty years, and was known by ne rlY every stockman in Arizona. He leaves widow with three children.
 His brother, John Morris, went in to see him just before he died. He recog- nized him for moment and tried to speak his name, which only was uttered in a barking noise. 'Skunks are all over me- were the last words of the dying man. Prescott Journal Miner.

4 Relic of an Ancient Race.

During the recent visit of MessrI
 Jesse R. Grant and Chas. l. Wimple .
 Sonora, Mexico, on mining bushes ;, | they were much struck with the sight uf
 a terraced mountain. It IS located about
 htty miles southwest from Magdalena.
 The mountain IS circular in form, about
 three quarters of mile in diameter as
 the base, and is terraced from base |,
 peak. The night of the terrace is from,
 ten to twelve feet in night and in many places IS built of solid masonery. A. many other places it is cut out of th,, solid rock. The roadway is from fifteen to twenty feet in width, starting al the base ot the mountain and coiling itself spiral like to the peak of the mountaiU which is not less than 1900 fee, higher than the base of the mountain. The cost ot the construction and cutting out of the solid rock their terraced road must have been enormous, and the re- markable features of this wonder is the state of its preservation, here and there the masonery has yielded to the crumb- ling influences of time, but this is an ex- ception.
 Who did this work and wha, could have been its purpose, is in a great meas- ure conjecture. Some may say it is the work of the Aztecs, others the Toltec or other ancient races.
 At the base of this terraced mountain IS mighty rock, which has the appear ance of having been hewn out of solid rock, and weighs an hundred tons or more. It is placed at the mouth of what appears to be the entrance to this ter raced mountain. Here another query is suggested. Does this door to the moun- tain open the way to mineral treasure. pr to the shrine of ancient religious de- yotees? Again does the terraced road which coils its way to the peak of the lead to the shrine of the ancient vestal virgin who kept eternal watch on the sacred fire which was never suffered to die?
 One thing is certain, there is wide ield for those near at home, who wander ar into Egyp; and Persia. to study the mysteries of the hidden past.-Star.

ALLEN WALKER. FUNERAL DIRECTOR

If the amount of nitro powder, which is sold through the agencies in this city. is to be taken as criterion, it would be said that mining was car ried on quite extensively in Southern Arizona, which is fact. Mining was never so lively as now, and seems to be growing more and more every day. No doubt the Tucson smelter has given copper mining new impetus, and if that metal continues to ad- vance ill price it will be great help to Tucson and neighborhood.-Star.

Frank Brown, until recently the driver of the stage from Riverside to Redine- ton, was brought to the county hospital last week suffering with screw-worms in his nose and throat. He had laid down under a tree after a protracted spree and while asleep lhe worms were deposited in his nostrils and at once began their work of desuuc ion. They penetrated the roof of the mouth and literally filled his throat, causing inflammation and at times making him savagely insane. A great many worms were taken out by Dr. Ader, but others were far beyond his reach and on Monday night he died. He was about fortY-one years of age and, so far as known, had no relatives in Arizona.

Internal Ingenuity.

Could scarcely devise more excruciating tortures than those of which you see the audiences IT the face of rheumatic or neuralgia sufferer. The agenies are the consequence of not checking rheum- atIc or neuralgia attack at the outset. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has been found by skillful medical practitioners to possess not only remedial, but de- fensive efficacy, where those diseases exists, or tendency to them is exhibited. Sure,y this puissant but safe botanic medicine, bearing, too, such high specific sanction, is better than the poisons often employed, but most unsafe, not only in continuance, but in isolated doses. The blood is depurated thoroughly from the rheumatic virus, and the nerves, slightly impurged upon, saved from ultimate and direful throes by this benign, saving medicine, which likewise exhibits marked efficacy for malaria, kidney complaints. dyspepsia, constipation and liver com plaint.

This ought to be a fair income. Mir. Bagley's vlnes include Sweetwaters, Muscats, Tokays, Zlnfandels, Mission and other varieties. He can make wine and raisins or sell the vintage to purchasers who will gather it themselves. .-Phenix Herald.

CITY WATER WORKS.
Where the Water Went to and Why-EVerY.
 thing All Right Now.

Just at present the water question
 seems to be settled, and in favorable
 manner 70 consumers. Last week the
 water became very short in an unac-
 cOuntable manner. and many con
 sumers were compelled to have Hua-
 chuca water turned on. The city
 officers were in despair, and complaints
 and appeals for water were bewildering
 in their number and urgency. Coun-
 cilman Prindiville had often urged
 the council to sever all connections
 from the ice works. but the men in
 charge of the water works declared
 that all water had been turned of
 from the ice works some time previous,
 and it looked as if the water works
 would have to be closed down, although
 capable of furnishing 12,000 to 15,0O0
 gallons every twenty-four hours. MT.
 Prindiville was not satisfied, however, and made personal examination of
 the valves which were supposed to cut off the supply from the ice works, and
 the mystery was solved. The valves were imperative and open, and could not be closed, no matter which way they were turned. When the pumps to force water into the tank on the hill were running they were only capable of forcing water for the city by an enormous pressure over and above the capacity of the pipe leading to the Watervale company's mill. In other words, nearly all the water pumped ran into the tanks of the mill, and then into the Coffman we'll through an underground pipe. There was trouble in the air right away when MT. Prindiville ordered the pipe cut, which was done. The next action was to cut all steam connections with 1llC lSC WOlhoy dAGAlOuSu 1llO cdiiiO DlCd was made that the steam was shut off The pumps were then put to work and the city was supplied with water once more, the supply being equal to all necessary demands. The pumps are worked twice day, and the men who now have charge are undoubtedly hon. est in their endeavors to furnish water to the city. The water consumers are to be congratulated that this vexed | question is apparently settled. No | one has been deprived of any rights which were justly possessed, and at present there seems to be sufficient | water for both the city and ice works. In any event consumers can be as- 'ured that all the water in the city we'll and in the two MacNeal wells | will be pumped up on the hill for their lse, and that none will go to waste.
