A new tanning root, other than the "cafla agria," now used by the South ern Arizona Tanning company, located in this city, has been discovered in this, Pinal and Cochise counties. The tanning properties of this root are much better and stronger than any heretofore discovered-it is even said by experts, than oak bark. It tans the leather better, for it penetrates through the hide evenly and rapidly. This new discovery has been tested to the satisfaction of experienced men in that line, and will be used extensively within short time in this city by q new company now organizing for the purpose of tanning leather, and build ing a large tannery.-Star.

Arizona.

The resources of this Territory will
 support in the greatest prosperity a
 very large population. Its very deserts
 may, with the right kind of settlers
 he made to teem with large and pro
 fitable crops of grain, fruit, cotton and
 sugar. Its mountains and hills are
 covered with fine nutritious grasses,
 over which cattle and sheep may
 range, increase and thrive during the | entire year-winter and summer
 with only herder to look after them
 and drive them to market. In it's
 numerous districts, its mines of gold.
 silver, iron, copper and many other
 metals, only await the necessary
 energy, capital, and enterprise to open and work them and reduce their ores,
 which are of wonderful richness.
 When these mines shall be properly
 worked they will support population
 sufficient to buy and consume all of
 the produce that can be raised in the agricultural, pastoral and horticultural districts, thus making certainty that
 much of the wealth which will be
 produced by her mines may be re- tained within her borders, and not sent abroad, as 1t is the case with most mining countries. Generally the poor est places in the world inhabited by civilized people, are those which pro- duce only precious metals; all or nearly all of which have to be sent away to buy bread, clothing, and the other necessaries of life, which are consumed by those who produce the bullion. Fortunately, such is not the condition of Arizona. While her ranges of mountains are filled with hundreds of mines, on the surface these hills are covered with fine grasses capable of maintaining millions of cattle. Many of them are finely tim bered with pine. sufficient to furnish timber for the many mines and build ings, and fencing for the entire Terri tory. The valley of the Gila and Salt rivers were once supposed to be only desert lands. Look at them to-day. They are evidence of what can be ac- complished in agriculture, throughout Arizona. Nestled in valley, sur rounded by mountains on all sides, the City of Phenix looks like bril- liant gem in an emerald frame. Only a few years ago this valley was as un inviting as any desert in the Territory. In the place of dusty plain there now exists a prosperous farming country, which cannot be excelled by any of the thriving districts in Cali fornia. To-day Arizona is producing a brand of flour which has taken the place or all kinds of the imported article. When we reflect upon these resources lying unclaimed and unap- we naturally think of the situation and wonder why? Why is it that some of the young farmers of the east who have few hundreds to start on, do not come to some of the val leys of this Territory and see the reward which will attend their efforts? The only solution which has been made, to our mind, is that our resources are not generally known the situation Is not understood. Tucson Citizen.

ELECTING A GOYERNOR.


One official election return to the secre-
tary of state has been made, and there is
another to be made. The law says that
the second must be made within not less
than five days nor more than ten days af-
ter the election. Very likely the second
return will show some corrections. AS to
further proceedings the constitution of
the state says: A fair list of the persons
and number of votes given for each, to-
gether with the returns of presiding Off
GERS, shall be, by the treasurer, secretary
and comptroller, made and laid before the
general assembly, then next to be holden, ,
on the first day of the session thereof; and
said assembly shall, after examination OF
the same, declare the person whom they
shall find to be legally chosen, and
give him notice accordingly. If nc
person shall have a majority of the whole
number of said votes, or if two or more
shall have an equal and the greatest mum.
ber of said votes, the said assembly or
the second day of their session by joint
ballot of both houses, shall proceed with
out debate to choose a governor from the
list of the names of the two persons hav
ing the greatest number of votes, or the
names of the persons having an equa
and the highest number of votes SO re
turned, as aforesaid. The general assembl,
shall by law prescribe the manner in whicl
all questions concerning the election of
governor, or acknowledgements, shall b
| determined.
The excitement over the matter is fas
| quieting down, and it will be settled in
legal and orderly way While it is bein
settled we can all attend to business a

An Episode of n Big City.

Eight policemen. fifteen street car dri-
vers and as many conductors, a double
team attached to truck in charge of q
driver and big white horse hitched to a
bobtail car completed the cast in little
horse play. Scene, railway terminus at
Grand street ferry. Audience, two hun
dred and fifty persons of all kinds and
very appreciative. In the course of the
play the white horse attempted to pull the
car around on the turn table, and while in
the act of so doing the driver of the truck
sheered his team so that the vehicle was
brought up against the white horse, and
the animal of the bobtail car made a start
ling dramatic climax by plunging his
"off' foreleg between the spokes of one of
the truck wheels.
The white horse danced about on three
hoofs, while the eight policemen and fif-
teen car drivers cavorted wildly about the
horse, but at a respectful distance from its
heels. Some one suggested jackscrew as
good thing to get the animals leg out of
the, truck wheel. But there wasn't any
iackscrew at hand. Another man wanted
to saw off the wagon spoke. The animal
displayed horse sense by applying a RENE
dy in the shape of vigorous kicks and
plunges. The leg was extricated from its
perilous position, the bobtail car condue-
tor rang down the curtain on'the last aci
and the audience dispersed well pleased
with the entertainment.

A Hawk Retrieves n Duck.

FROM the fOresi anu Streafll
AZ party of young men from WinOna, at
Marshall, were out duck hunting afew days
since. AS they Were watching the flying
of the ducks over the lake one came within
gun-shot of them. 1t was shot by Harry
E. Melvin, and came down into the water
a few rods from shore. 1t lay fiouudering
there, the hunters having no way of get
ting it. The dog was lame and no boat
was at hand. While pondering and trying
to devise some means to reach the game, a
large hawk came flying overhead. The
hawk spied the duck and soon commenced
circling around and in few minutes shot
down out of the air, seizing it, commenced
flying over the young ghunter'shead. There.
upon Mr. Melvin blazed away at the hawk,
which came down with a thud a few feet
away with the duck. thereby saving all
trouble of wading,,or swimming after the
game. Who will say that winona hunters
are not ahead this year. By the by this
was the first duck ever shot by Mr.. Melvin
He will probably shoot thousands more be
fore he has another one retrieved in tina
fashion,
