IN another column will be found an extract from the Phenix Herald of the 24th inst, which, bereft of it's partisan exultation, gives synopsis of the re- cent decision of the Supreme Court of Arizona covering the dual govern ment that has occasioned so much confusion during the past year, and declaring the acts of the legislature beyond the sixty consecutive days to be legal. We are glad decision has been reached and that the erd of the contest is at hand, and had the matter been submitted to the courts long | ago, as suggested by THE ENTERPRISE, this result might have been sooner achieved. The people, who have been the real sufferers by this long conflict, cared very little whether the Zulick or Wolfley appointees were declared to be the lawful officials, and the only interest they felt in the matter was that it be speedily determined and that public affairs resume the even tenor of their way. They regarded the appeal of the governor to congress for relief as especially obnoxious, and believed, as tunes has demonstrated, that the proper remedy was in our courts. The decision just rendered possesses one or two peculiar features, made conspicuous by past events. One of the Associate Justices-Judge R. E. Sloan-was member of the legis- lative Council, the legality of whose acts were questioned. By his de- cision as Judge he confirms his own course as a legislator and sits in judg- ment upon his own acts and affirms them. He could scarcely be expected to do otherwise if he is qualified to act in such case, but the propriety oi his participation in the deliberations of the court under such circumstances is open to question. Again, Chief Jus. tice Wright, who dissents from the opinion of the court, if our memory is not at fault, once made written ap. plication for warrant to cover his territorial salary as provided by the appropriation bill that he does not feel justified in declaring to have been legally enacted. These inconsistent cies are somewhat peculiar and will doubtless excite comment, howe yer gratifying the fact may be that the matter is decided.

TOMBSTONE, March 23d.

We have just been admiring one of the handsomest oil pictures of "Jacque" Roses that we have ever seen, and had it been in an art-store we should have known that good price would have been asked for it. But imagine a work of such intrinsic value being obtained for nothing! for that is practically the case, as it is supplement to "Demor- ests Family Magazine" for April. This wonderful publication has on its east CT garb, and it certainly is an attrac- tive one. Each succeeding number appears to grow better and better, un- til we are forced to wonder what can be done to improve its present high standard of excellence. The fact of the matter is, there is but one purely family and home magazine, and that is Demorest's. The illustrations are works of art, and some of the articles which they illustrate are "Orchids," :" "The Manhattan Working Girls So- ciety," "The Eastern Lily" "The For bidden Place." or "The Harem Esch- Scherif ill Jerusalem" "In the Grasp of the Grip" Easter Eggs" "Easter Novelties" Kindergarten Work and Play for the Home," etc, besides num- erous other articles and stories, in cluding"A Woman's Kitchen Garden" !" "Our Cooking Class" ""Preserving Gar ments from Moths," "The Art of Let ter-Writing," "Madge Bonfeld's East CT Ghost" etc., etc. Published by w.. JENNINGS DEMoREsT, 15 East 14th St., New York. Every newsdealer ought to keep this valuable publication, and we suppose they do. It shows the magic power of 20 cents, and the great distance that small amount can be made to go.

The appeal of the territory from the decision on the contested tax cases, will be heard by the supreme court during the September term. Most of the people consider that the effect of the decision will be merely to delay the payment of those taxes a few months at most. So it is, but aside from the fact that our schools will have to close two months before time, here is where the county gets left again. With the amount of de- linquent taxes which were contested, the county could have paid off $10,- 900 of its bonded indebtedness; now, however, instead of being able to do so, the county will have to pay inter- est on that amount for seven or eight months. The contesting tax payers will not be required to pay any more than the additional per cent already due.-Citizen.
 Bob Leatherwood is in luck again. He recently purchased a one fifth interest in the San Juan mine, Altar District. Fourteen men have been at work for about month, and have ex tracted l80 tons of ore. This is taken to a customs mill about B miles and there reduced. MT. Leatherwod brought in one ton of this ore to the city, and had it crushed by the Sam bling works. It assayed nearly 500 ounces of silver.-Citizen.

The Papago Reservation.

About two years ago the Pagago h. dian reservation was sub-divided into tracts of 40 acres each, conforming with tl'e public surveys, the intention of the government being to allot one of these tracts 10 each Indian living on the reservation The reservation contains about 75, 900 acres, including rich bottom lands and a splendid graz ing country. There are about 1,200 acres of good land which can be irri- gated, and out of these only about 300 acres have been cultivated by the Indians. A canal has recently been constructed which will supply water for nearly all the irrigable land in the reservation.
 The interior department has sent out special agent to see to the dis tribution of these lands among the Indians. This gentleman, in company with MT. O. W. Grouse, the Indian agent at Sacaton, Is now here making arrangements for the allotment of the land to the Indians. They yesterday had meeting with the Indians al San Xavier, who seem to be very mucl pleased with the contemplated arrange ment. Heretofore the Indians have been farming four or five acre tracts in community, and there was no lacl of misunderstanding and dissatisfac ton among them at the end of tn, year, caused by that arrangement The bottom lands which can be irri gated, will be dealt out in 40 acr lots-one each to the head of family and the mesa lands, not susceptibl
 to cultivation, will be given in 160 acr
 tracts to each head of a family, fo
 grazing purposes. The government
 however, will hold the land in trus , for fifteen years, at the end of whic time, and not before, the Indians wi be at freedom to dispose of then
 Hence, after 1905 we may expect [ , see the fertile San Xavier lands cor ) verted into magnificent farms; unt that time, however, it is more tha 7 likely they will remain in their presen , weeded state, for it don't take muc
 to satisfy an Indian-Citizen.

MT. and Mrs. W. K. Meade left for Tombstone yesterday, where they will hereafter make their home. During their residence here they made many friends and sincere regret is expressed at their departure. Politically, the Citizen has always been opposed to MT. Meade and has repeatedly urged that he be replaced as United States Marshal, by republican, but his ability and in- tegrity were never questioned. True, at times he allowed party zeal to over step good judgment, but he made a good officer-one of the best among Cleveland's appointees. When he vacated the marshals office on the ap- pointment of MT. Paul, he left its af- fairs in such shape as to win the com mendation of his successor. He left, says Marshal Paul, nothing upon which an explanation was needed his accounts were balanced, the several funds on hand returned to their re- spective departments, and without the misappropriation of fund or a dis allowed account to haunt him in the future. It is understood that he will engage in mining.-Citizen.

Another Probable Sale.

MT. T. R. Gage, of Gila Bend was in the city. He and Frank Welcome re- turned last Friday from trip to the gold mines of pr. DeCorse in Sonora, which are distant 130 miles south from Gila Bend. They took party of six which included four Englishmen direct from London, one of whom was mining expert. Capt. Polhamus was the guide of the party. They were gone eight days. They remained at the mines one and half days, they saw the Gulf of California from the mines, which was distance of 16 miles.
 Ihe group of mines are four in number. The deepest shaft is 168 feet; the veins are larger and the average richness is from SIP to $50 gold, the ore is free milling. Prof. Deity, the expert and Genl. Fix who accompanied, both spoke Tn high terms of the property, MT. Gates thinks it will be sale.
 The English syndicate put up $5,- GOO for the expenses of the expert, which looks like business, and if his report is favorable as it most certainly will be, another important sale will soon be consummated and Arizona will be the benefciaries.-Star.

A correspondent of the Albuquerque Citizen writing from Flagstaff in this territory says of the Arizona Central railroad:
 Starting south from the town of Flagstaff, the Central Arizona Railway Company has finished 8 miles; the grade is completed several miles more and the surveys have been continued on toward Phenix and Globe, Arizona, with the ultimate object of making a connection with the Southern Pacific and to Guaymas, Mexico It is also the desire of the company to construct a branch north via the grand canyon to connect with the railroad system of Utah. When finished this road will be very valuable north and south railway and will permit the inter change of the fruit and farm products of the Salt river valley and other points south with the timber, lumber stock, building stone, etc., from north ern Arizona and Utah."

MAJOR GENERAL GEORGE CROOK died
 suddenly in Chicago, on Friday morn
 ing, March 2lst, of heart failure. Gen eral Crooks services to his country as
 a brave and successful soldier entitle his me emory to grateful recognition. His career in Arizona is part of it's history and out of this has grown the only stain upon his otherwise bright
 career. His peculiar epousal of the cause of the Apache Indians in their hostility to the white settlers can never be regarded as the act of a ra- tional human mind, to express it charitably. There is an unwritten history of his career in Arizona, not at all creditable, upon which the grave now places the seal of oblivion. Candor and justice to the people of Arizona demand that this much be said, as the dark pail is drawn be- tween himself and his memory.

The Ways and Means Committee have had up the lead ore question again. Senator Plumb made an argu- ment against the imposition of cent and half on the lead contained in the silver ore coming from Mexico. He claimed that this would interfere with the operation of American industries and permanently deprive large num- Der of people of employment, and he thought also, in the interests of trade with Mexico, that nothing should be done toward stopping these Mexican ores from coming into the country. He also claimedthat they were needed for purposes of fuxing. Senator Teller made an argument in favor of the duty. He said that before these "vested rights" which the representa- tives of the smelters spoke of came in- to existence, more than hundred times as much money had been ex- pended in building up great plants in the west in mining silver ore lead and in building refineries and furnaces as has been expended since this recent interpretation of the law which led to the importation of 56,679,0 900 pounds of lead from Mexico last year, and he wanted to know if these men who in- vested this money in the West had no vested rights" He showed that this importation of Mexican silver lead ore has all grown up in a few years, and has resulted in great injury to the lead-mining interests in the West, and claimed that it had been the policy of the government through the changes consequent upon the working of the tariff for period of 100 years to pro- tect the lead-producing industry in this country, He made strong point on the wage question by showing that the lead ore was produced in Mexico by wages at 60 cents day, while in the mines in this country $3.5O was paid, and then he went on to show that the labor formed 95 per cent of the cost of the lead, and that the lead mining ipterests in this country give employment to at least fifteen. thous- and men, supports at least sixty thous- and people, and gives value to thous- ands of acres of land worthless but for this. After hearing these arguments the committee voted not to change the duty, It had previously agreed to ] cents pound for the lead found in the silver ore, but motion to re- consider is understood to be pending still, and there may be another vote on the question.

TIE refusal of the Supreme Court of the United States to trespass upon the jurisdiction of the legislative branch of government is in strong contrast with the undue haste of the executive arm of the territory to break down the dividing fence and read the riot act in his neighbors' premises. The Supreme Court is q mighty Goliath, but our brave little David rushed in with the same historical weapon and paralyGed the whole territory, which recalls indistinctly the very suggestive, although somewhat ancient remark, that somebody "steps in where angels fear to tread"

The new plant is expected here this week, and upon arrival oi the steamer Gila, will be immediately forwarded to it's destination. The property comprises about one hun dred acres, of which forty acres IS low ground. Upon the latter extensive work will be commenced at once. The average depth to bedrock is between twenty-five and thirty feet, the latest developments showing up very rich despite the fact that bedrock was not yet reached, owing to the inadequacy of the pumping facilities.
 The management of the company is in excellent hands and is backed be sides, with ample capital. MT. H.
