Coy. Erwia's Returned salary

4 Washington dispatch of Oct. 9th says; The appointment of Jno. N. IT. win as Governor of Arizona recalls an incident in his experience as Governor of Idaho under President Arthur. He was called home by death in his family and remained there several months 10 settle an estate. The U, 5. Treasury sent him his salary regularly but the Governor declined to accept it, saying he had not earned any money from the government whde at home about his private affairs and sent the checks back to Washington.
 This presented anew question for the treasury officials. No one had ever made such complaint before. They did not know what to do with the mon ey Finally it was placed to the credit of the conscience fund. This made the honored Governor indignant and he forthwith forwarded to the department an emphatic protest. He was unwilling that any money that he sent to Wash ington should be placed in the same fund with that surrendered by repent ing thieves. Then the amount was placed to the credit of the public debt of the United States. His is the only ease of the kind on record.

An Outrage

Deputy Marshal J. V. Paul, on Mon day last, arrested four citizens of this section-Captain J. II. Phillips, D. Johnson, ". s. Davis and John II. Thede on tie charge of unlawfully fencing public lands. It seems these gentlclnen were indicted ill May last by the United States Grand Jury at Tucson, but why the arrests have been delayed until this time is not explained Messrs. Thede and Davis went to Tue son and gave bonds to appear on No vember 5th to answer to the charge, and Messrs. Phillips and Johnson went there last night for the same purpose. The Stockman is not in the habit of expressing opinIons of cases pending i'll court, but it will say that it considers these prosecutions an outrage, and es- peeially 80 in the cases of Capt. Phillips and Mr Johnson, who each only have few acres fenced at their homes-- which are located on unsurpeyed land flor pastures. If such prosecutions as these can be maintained, over half of the stockmen in the Territory living on unsuryeyed land are amenable to the law. Wilcox Stockman.

The Florence Enterprise says: Act ing presumably in good faith, the Loan Commissioners, designated in the Fund ing Act of Arizona to be composed of the Governor, Secretary and Auditor, have authorized the Treasurer to ad- vertise for bids upon one million dollars in Territorial bonds, which bids will be opened upon Wednesday, December 10th. The money resulting from such sale is to be applied to the funding of the county Indebtedness of such eoun ties as choose to avail themselves of the provisions of the get. Unfortu- nately for these loan commissioners, they have been somewhat premature in their official action and their labors ap to the present time are nugetory and void. The act of Congress approved January 25th, 1890, expressly states that it is subject to future Territorial legislation, and therefore until it is sanctioned by the Legislative Assembly of Arizona it is not law,

A m.ne of ueeswa1

Beeswax is an article Of commerce which it is generally supposed is fur nisbed only by the ''bugy bee" but one of our Oregon exchanges gives the following account of beeswex mine in that country: No one has ever been able to give an authentic account of how such enormous quantities of bees wax came to be deposited on the beach near Nehalem. Specimens are found along the beach in various places, but # is most plentiful near the month of the Nehalein As the sea shifts tue bars, pieces of it are washed ashore. and large quantities are found by plow- ing in some of the low land near the beach, There arc spots where the sea has never reached in the memory of the oldest settlers, and which are covered with good-sized growth of spruce, where deposits of wax may be found by digging. Specimens of the wax may be found at the house of any settler on the beach, and to all appearances 1t is genuine beeswax Several tons have been unearthed, and one man shipped large amount to San Francisco once, for which he received $500. In quality it is as good as any in the market, and has retained its familiar odor through all its rough usage and age. It is sup posed by some, and so stated, that it came from wreck of Spanish vessel over 9 century ago. Others say it came from wrecked Chinese junk. These traditions in regard to the wrecks come from the Indians and are not reliable. It is most probable that this beeswnx is really lost treasure, which peoplear digging for on the Nehalem.

wm solve ,ae Indian Problem fer Us.

At the Lake Mononk conference, the Executive Committee, in reporting platform of Mononk for 1890, reviews the work done towards the civilization of the Indian and urges Congress to make such liberal and increasing appro- propriations us may be necessary to perfect this plan and to carry it into full operation. The platform calls for a further extension of education in all industrial parts, as essential to the preparations for self support; protests against the removal of capable officials for party reasons; recommends inn proyements in the provisions for regu- lar and legal administration of justice, both toward and among the Indians; urges churches to larger gifts and great CT zeal in their distinctive Christian work among the Indians; reaiiirms, as fundamental principle which should control all the friends of all Indians, that all work for them, whether by pri- yate beneyolence or by the Govern ment, should be done ip anticipation and in preparation for time when the Indian races of this country will be ab- sorbed into the body of our citizens and the specific Indian problem will be merged in the great problem of build ing up the human brotherhood, which the providence of God has laid upon the American people.
 The Conference unanimously adopted n resolution urging that money re- ceiyed from the sale of surplus reserva- ton land be held as fund to aid In- dians in learning how to support them selves.

Trade and aoney

Business men feel as if weight were taken of. The Tariff bill is law. The uncertainty is over, and uncertain- ty more than anything else hurts the business enterprise and shakes the con fdence of the Republican and the Denl- ocrat, the proteetionist and the free trader alike. We expect to see great revival of the spirit of enterprise, a great development wave sweeping over tho continents resources. as soon as there is money available Tor new open ings. Just at present the volume of business, based on the supply of imme- diate requirements, is absorbing cur rency, and Now York Is shipping it to all parts of the country. September showed the handsome average increase of l6 per cent over 1889 for forty -nine principal bank clearing houses all over the country. Nine clearing houses in New England averaged lo.G per cent. gain. nine in the South l9 per cent, the near Western cities 2S per cent. and the further Western and North western cities 27.S per cent, while the Pacific slope showed an average gain of l1.5 per cent All sections have shared in the demand for currency, which was heavier last week than in any other re- cent week. \.

It is quite possible that the use of the eclectric light favorably affects the general health of those who use it; i'm proves their appetite with the. ability to sleep This would seem indicated in the statistics of the attendence of working people in factories and other places. In the savings banks in Queen Victoria street. London, where l,2o0 persons are employed, absences from illness have been so far reduced that the extra labor gained is said to have paid for the electric light. Theinauence of artificial lighton the eyes has also a very important sanitary bearing. It has been asserted that the injury to the eyes, of which the growing short-sight- edness of the day is but one result, is due to the heat rays and not to the light rays. Financial and Mining Record

C. N. Thomas, says the Tombstone Prospector, brings the news from Mammoth that the recent heavy fresh cts in that section washed the soil out in places thirty feet deep along the river bottom. The exposed area at the bottom of the wash in many places brought to light evidences ot an an- cient civilization. The trunks of huge trees which had been cut with stone axes were to be seen in many places, while the stone implements and old pottery are to be seen on all sides. Bones of human beings of enormous size have been brought to light, .esting no doubt but that race Of extinct beings at one time occupied the section of country this side of Mammoth camp. It would be the proper thing for some scientific society to take hold of an ex- ploration of this new development be- fore the mild winter rains shall have filed this exeayated area again.
