LAND GRANT TITLES. The Settlsn.ent HEst be Confined to the
 Courts.
Tombstone Prospector.

Mir. c. M. Bruce, who has been visiting Tombstone for day or two, was accosted by representative of the Prospector thls morning and asked the result of his visit to Washington.
 II was in Washington" said MT Bruce, ''ip the early part of this month with Dr. Perrin, one of the owners of the Babacomari grant.
 We visited President Harrison and Sen ator Edm4nds in relation to that proposed bill for the settlement of land grant titles. President Harrison talked freely upon tbe subject; said that he realized that Arizona was in an unsettled condi tion as regards tue land grants and he had done all ill his power to relieve the people of Arizona. Senator Edmunds talked more earnestly on the subject thaI we had hoped for. He said that the grant titles in Arizona were not unsettled but that if the people or holders of gram titles were pot convinced of this fact tha the courts of the territory were open tC litigants. As far as Arizona was con cerned she would not be included in tn: provisions of the bill now before the sen ate looking toward the settlement O doubtful grant titles. Any lawyer said he, "YAG has grain of sense know that the courts afe the only places to set tie any disputes that may arise"
 Dr. Perrin called the senator's attention to the fact that his associates and him self had purchased the grant known a the Babaeomari in good faith and that h. thought it the dlty of the United State to protect him in his title, to which Mi Edpunqs replied that the United State had nothing to do with it. ''Go and fenc your grant" said he, ''and if trespasser break through into your enclosure, actio can be commenced IF yo1r courts wher your remedy lies. Congress wall neye step in as long as you have courts withi whose jurisdiction your questions raise most certainly belong"

should Farmers Grow Their seedsq

Professor Henry Stewart thinks not In bulletin upon the subject he says: Seed growing, like fine stock breeding, Is a special business, best carried on by ex- perts who change their stock and avoid repeating the product on the same soil and ill the anne climate. No other fact is better known to farmers than that see d brought from distant localities yields be- ter crops than home or nearby grown seeds.
 Oats, potatoes, barley, spring wheat and other plants which thrive best in a northern and moist climate, produce the bestcrops from seed grown in the most suitable locality. The same principle ap- plies to the breeding of stock, for many animals deteriorate under the hot and eneryating climates of southern attitudes, unless reinforced by vigorous, northern blood.
 Hence the best seed can only be pro cured by persons whose business 1t Is to know where it is best grown and of whom it can be best purchased, and who have facilities for growing it under the best circumstances. As one man working for thousands can do the work far more cheaply than any one of these can do 1t for himself, 1t Is an economy as well as a safety to procure seeds from honorable seedsmen. We commend these consider ations to the attention of all interested.

The Four Peaks.
Phenix Herald.


 T. c. Dicknell returned from prospect Ing trip last evening. having spent three weeks among the western foot hills of the Four Peaks. There has always been more or less of mystery attached to the semi-ex- plored gorges and caflons of this promi- Gent and lofty group of mountains, and among numerous stories and legends con nected with them there Is one to the effect that old Del Shea. war chief of the Tonto Apaehes. had treasure cave there, from which he obtained the large nuggets of gold with which he. was always so well supplied when it was necessary to do any trading with the whites After a careful examination of the west side of the range Mr. Bicknell is of the opinion that the in dications there are very upfavorable for any valuable deposit of mineral.
 The formation Is a coarse feldspathic granite capped here and there with lava and cement The few quartz ledges crop ping out are barren and the wash in 1 gulches shows no indication of placer gold. In afuturet trip Mir. Bicl1nell intends to explore the south and east slopes of of this range in hopes of finding old Del Shea's hidden treasure The Four Peaks are the highest mountains in Maricopa county, being 9,690 feet above the sea lev el, and their barren and storm scathed l summits are prominent land marks from any point within one hundred miles of their base.

Died at Bisbee.
Tombstone prospector.


 Henry Dubaoher, of Bisbee, one of the pioneers of that camp, died last night at one o'clock. He had been suffering for many months, but nothing serious was anticipated. He visited Tombstone but a few days ago and made some purchases of our merchants and complained of not feeling well at that time. He spent sey- eral weeks last summer at Fort Huachuca under Rr. Patzkes care and was told by the latter that he would die within six months unless he left this climate. He was the proprietor of the Bisbee Brewery at the time of his death and had a lucra- tive business, which he built up by his industry. Several years ago he went to Bisbee without dollar, and was reputed to be worth S30,000 at the time of his death He was native of Switzerland aged 43 years. He was wholesouled man. generous to a fault, and his presence will be missed among those who were ac- quainted with him best. The funeral viii take place tomorrow at Bisbee,

Cultivate the Pomegranate.
Phenix Gazette.

The setting out and cultivation of the better grades of pomegranate seems to have been somewhat neglected in this valley. MT. NJ. D. Le Baron, the gentle man experimenting the shipping of an order from Chicago for a carload of pome- granates, says that while there Is a con siderable quantity of this fruit raised here most of 1t Is of an inferior grade, and as only the best varieties will do to ship, 1t will be difficult for him to fill the order. There are several varieties of the pomegranate but the largest and most profitable to ship Is the kind called the Mammoth This tree does well on most any soil in this climate and requires less water than any other fruit tree grown here. It seldom has an off year or a light crop, and bears the second year from cut ting. Mir. Le Baron says if he had the fruit now he could dispose of ten carloads in the east, at a big profit to himself and the producer. It is no doubt one of the most profitable crops that can be raised in this valley.

The Lost round and the F onna Lost
Journai Miner

JONIuhi Mlner
 |. Some years ago, while travelling in the White mountain country, Fred Ref of Prescott, lost his bearings aud for day or two wandered through the mountains and gulches of the vicinity. During his wanderings, however, he discovered mineral ledge which appeared to be very rich in silver. He secured some samples of it to bring in with him to have assayed. On reaching the Verde river, owing to the swollen condition of the stream, he lost all except few small pieces which he carried in his pocket, and which, on being assayed, proved to be very rich. He has since made two OF tbree unsuccessful trips into the same section for the purpose of locating aud prospecting tue ledge, but 1t seems to be as completely lost to him HOW as he was to the balance of the world when it was discovered. Last week he started again in company with Joe Howell of the Santa Maria country on an other exploring expedition, in the hope of being able t9 again discover what he confidently believes to be a big and rich deposit of mineral. They were well equipped for the trip, ana the Journal Mjper hopes that success may crown their efforts to add another mine to the silver producers of the country.

A Pima Burial.
PheniX Herald.

A Mesa City coroners jury were per lnitted to witness Indian burial rites A grave was dug about eight feet deep and six feet wide. At the bottom an excava- ton was made out under the south bank where he had been killed A carefully canvassed couch was next prepared in this excavation, where the body was then laid Great quantities of bright colored calicoes were spread over him. At his feet were placed sacks of pinoles, bread and grain. Near his head the mourners put his canteen filled with water His saddle, bridle, gun and personal equip ments were also added, and each Indian present threw in coat, or pair of trousers or some such offering to his de- parted friend. The spurs were not re- moved from his feet and only the face was washed for Resurrection day.

The Colorado Valley.
sentinel


 But few people understand the area of the great valley of the Colorado river southerly upon the west side of the river the valley lands extend from Fl Rio southerly for one hundred and 20 miles and back from the river for from forty to fifty miles, This vast area of not less than 100000 acres is of the richest of val ley soils, suitable for raising all of the semi-tropical fruits, rice, cotton, tobacco, hemp. flax and other flores. Upon the east side of the river the area is as great. The soil differs somewhat but it is all good. The Colorado river at all seasons has the water with which to irrigate these lands. Only time and capital is necessary to open this immense region on the Pacl- fife Coast. This is also part of Yuma's back country.

Rough on the Teachers
Phepix Gazette.

Professor Rich, of the Indian school at Fort Mcdowell, is now visiting Phenix. The professor evidently is not familiar with the ways of the army, judging from bis experience with Lieutenant Baldwin, commanding officer at that post. When that gentlemen and his family reached McDowell the military had not turned over-nor have they as yet, but Lieuten- ant Baldwin very nicely extended the hospitality of the quarters of Professor Rich, giving him stove, bedding, kitchen furniture, etc, until such time as they vacated. The professor, thinking that the soldiers were tarrying too long sent a command to the post surgeon to vacate his quarters forthwith; this order angered both the doctor and the commanding off. eers, who immediately sent teams to the professors quarters and took away every thing belonging to the government, and at present things are very much unsettled at the post, but the professor believes ii don't pay to monkey with blue coats, a' the doctor holds the fort while he is with out furniture and cooking utensils.

Indian School.
Mohaye Miner.

Prof $. M. McCowan, the superintend- ent of the Indian industrial school at Fort Mohave, expects to have everything in readiness to open school on the 1st of October. About twenty-five Indian pu- pills are expected to be in attendance at that time, and the number will be in creased in a few weeks. The boys will be instructed in the various trades, be- sides farming, and the girls, who will be under the charge of Mrs McCowan, will be taught cooking and sewing aside from the regular elementary English course. Prof. McGowan and wife are from Dakota, where they were connected with simi- lar school, and have had a number of years experience in these Indian schools Mir. McGowan has 70 doubt of the final suc- cess of this school, although the Indians of the various tribes do not at present take kindly to the idea of the school The professor has the energy and pa tience requisite to make the school a sue cess, and 1t Is earnestly hoped that his utmost expectations in this respect may be realized.

Double Marketing of Live Stock.
National Stoetman.

NAttOu2l StcCEiHSu
 The fact that very large portion of the stock brought upon the wholesale market and sold is taken to the country, fed and brought back for sale a second time, and occasionally ofteper, is by a great many overlooked in computing the volume of live stock business in trade centeIs. If the figures were actually ob- tainable 1t would be discovered that of the piled-up thousands of cattle which are going into Chicago these weeks q great many are simply sent to the coun- try again for ripening. If farmers could make the exchange among themselves, which they do through the markets, a great deal would be saved in transporta- ton, commissions and otherwise; but 1t seems that this is not feasible, and the expense and trouble of bringing the buyer and seller together must be incurred. The same cattle which have been going to the country this Summer will. many of them appear ill Chicago again within the next few months. and will be again counted as part of the cattle marketing of the country. This fact renders 1t i'm possible to know at any time just how much stock Is actually passing into con- sumption. There is a lack of accurate ldEJS Ill CtlIlII6Cti1H WILL t1i6 IFe StOCK H. dustry which Is to be deplored, and noth- ing contributes more to this lack than the circumstances to which we have alluded The only way in which this trouble could be overcome would be for sellers at stock yards to note all the purposes for which their stock is sold. and koep q record and report accordingly. We think 1t is a mat ter of sufficient importance to justify the adoption of some measure to secure this knowledge.

ANNEXATION.
It win Come Within the Next Ten Years.

The annexation of Mexico is topic which will be a most interesting one to all classes living along the border. That the sentiment in favor Of 1t Is growing needs no argument. A correspondent of the Grand Rapids Democrat gives the re-s suit of a talk with J. P Allen, one of the best posted men on Mexican affairs in the country. and who has resided in the City of Mexico for ten years In speaking of President Diaz, he says:
 He Is most wonderful man, and much more American than Mexican. His ideas are American, and he is fashioning his government as nearly on the plans of tLis government as 1t is PSsslhle-- him to do. He IS fostering with sedulous care the relations between the two repub- lies. President Diaz will have no success or. l do not mean that annexation will come before the expiration of his present term. but before he finishes the next, or at least the succeeding term to the next. Diaz, of course Is not alone in advancing the idea of annexation; he has power ful aid in advanced Mexicans, who see that greater benefits are to be derived by q union than remaining alone. Moreover. quite as potent force is the enormous dlnouut OL Alderlcdn Cdpitdl ID Me4lcO The amount is rapidly increasing too. and exercises an influence in behalf of annex ation, which, together with the desires of Diaz, will be- before the generation ends, impossible to resist. There is not much said openly about annexation at present The republic of Mexico Is not ready for it, and an agitation sprung now would but defeat its own ends. But in the higher circles of Mexican politics one hears 1t mentioned with a constantly growing frequency, and before long 1t will become the theme of common talk

POLYGAMOUS MARRIAGES
THE MANIFESTO OF THE MORMON
 PRESIDENT.
They wnI submit to the Law---He Says the Last Polygamous Marriage Took Place in Endowment House. salt Lake,
 Year Ago Last
 Spring.

A Salt Lake (Utah) dispatch of Septem- Der 25th says: The following Is the text of the manifesto issued by President Woodruff concerning the report of the Utah Commission recently published;
 The Utah Commission in recent re- port to the Secretary of the Interior, hay ing alleged that plural marriages are still being solemnized, and that forty or more such marriages have been contracted in Utah since last June, or during the past year; also that m public discourses leaders of the church taught, encouraged and urged the continuance of the practice of polygamy, l therefore, as President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, do hereby, in the most solemn manner, declare the charges false.
 NOT TEACHING PoLYaAMY.
 We are not teaching polygamy or plural marriage. nor are we permitting any person to enter into its practice, and deny that either forty, or any other number, of plural marriages have, during that period, been solemnized in our temples or other places in the Territory One case Is reported in which the parties alleged marriage was performed in the Endowment House, in Salt Lake City lu the spring of 1889, but have not been able to learn who performed the ceremony. Whatever was done in this matter was done without my knowledge. In conse- quence of this alleged occurrence the En- dowment House was by my instructions taken down without delay.
 WILL RESPECT THE LAW.
 'Inasmuch as laws have been enacted by Congress prohibiting plural marriages, which laws have been pronounced con stitutional by the Court of last resort, I do hereby declare my intention to submit to these laws. and use my influence with the members of the church over which I preside to have them do likewise. There IS nothing in my teachings in the church, or m those of my assistants during the time specified, that can reasonably be construed to incuicate or encourage polygamy, and when any elder of the church has used language which appear ed to convey such teachings he has been promptly reproved. And I now publicly declare my advice to the Latter Day Saints is Refrain from contracting any marriage forbidden by the law of the land MILFORD WOODRUFF,
 President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints."

Mormons vs. Apaches.
Prnsrector.


 One of the saddest commentaries on the intelligence of Arizonas political bunco steerers, is the absence in both plat forms of any allusion to the Apache ques- ton, which is the only real barrier to our progress Since the convention met 2 years ago, oyer 50 of our pioneers have passed away-victims of Apache deviltry The murder of Reynolds and his faith ful deputy; the killing of, Hardie: the death of Brown whose widow still lives in Tombstone, are all fresh instances what the pioneers of our country have suffered that the bellies of our political hacks might be fed. Even while the platform which the party was framing for the campaign was beng drawn up, the news was being spread that two more un- sllspecting prospectors had been massa- cred by Indians from San Carlos.
 But the Indian has no vote, the Mor- mon has. The latter votes the democrat ic ticket, hence the tirade against him.
 There was plenty of time to demand of | Congress the disfranchisement of white democrats, but no time to consider the country's welfare Anything to benefit the party, nothing to benefit the people.
