4 Budget of Iteme from the Great Citrus Belt--On the Road to Prosperity
 The Boom Coming.

The necessary machinery for work ing Fisher and company's placer mines near Gila City, has been purchased in California and is expected here daily.
 A carload of machinery for the Colorado River Placer mining com pany was received here several days ago, and will be shipped on the next steamer.
 The public schools of Yuma County have sufficient money to remain open until the end of the term, and some districts will have balance over which can be placed to the credit of next years session.
 The Southern Pacific Company has concluded to allow the residents of this village to purchase ice from the railroad ice-house. The price fixed is two cents pound and is cheaper than ice has ever before been sold at in Yuma.
 The financial affairs of Yuma coun- ty are in a fiourishing condition and all efforts to "bear" the county credit will be futile. County scrip is rapids ly approaching in value and the amount of assessable property in the next two years gives promise of moro that doubling present figures.
 Attorney-General Clark Churchill arrived in Yuma on Monday and res mained here until Wednesday. Dur ing his stay here General Churchill brought suit against Commissioners P. R. Brady and Thomas Hallecks Superintendent J. H. Behan and sec retary Jos. J. Stein, asking that they be removed from the positions they now fill
 The strangers now sojournlng in Yuma, are delighted with the stimu- lating and health giving effects of our climate. Many of them are pleased with the warmth and dryness of the air, and ali are charmed with the bright, eyer-blue skies and the fra grance of the atmosphere perfumed by the thousands of flowers in bud and blossom on every side.
 On Monday morning April Ftis Mrs. Emma Shultz, died at her rest dence, after painful and lingering illness Mrs. Shultz had resided ia Yuma for many years and was greai favorite with all; her kindness ol heart, generosity of mind and unseli fish character made her beloved by the poor and respected by the rich She was a good woman in every sense of the term. and many are here who have gladly and frequently asked that the blessings of heaven be shower ed upon her, for the many kind acts of charity she performed quietly and willingly. In the death of Mrs Shultz, this community has lost a faithful friend and one whose presence will be sadly missed.

 The Apaches confined in the Graham county jail for the murder of Herbert, the freighter, seem to take life easy, playing cards about fifteen hours out Of every twenty-four.

MURMURs of discontent with the present unsatisfactory state of public affairs are still heard upon all sides and they come from men who are deeply interested in the welfare of the Terri tory. Retrenchment is the watch word, and the cry will soon be taken "pby the political managers to de ceive the people and to retain their hold upon the public purse. They arc even now endeavoring to anticipate the movement for an independent legislative ticket by advocating the selection of the best men of their re- spective parties for candidates. This action can inspire but little confidence in the sincerity of the bosses who hope to allay the popular clamor for a change until it is too late to organize a formidable movement, when the same old struggle will be renewed and If successful, the same old experience will be endured by the taxpayers. The people must choose between self in. terest, good government and prosperi ty on the one hand and partiLan hur. rah on the other, and of the two the philosophical mind -Aill-sa~Essly hesi tate in making a selection.

ANOTHER PROBABILITY.
The Great American Mine fin the Swis- helm Mountains Soon to Become
 Bullion Producer.

9 Bullion Producer.
 Ben Whinstone arrived in town to- day from the Swishelm mountains, and brings the latest news from the Great American mine, which for some private reasons, has not been worked since the owners shut it down three years ago.
 One Of the partners-there are three of them-interested some Colorado men in the mine a few months ago, and brought them out to take a look Everything was observed closely, and samples of ore from the mine and dump were taken back with them assays were made Of the many kinds of ore, and the astonishing fact was developed that the ore of the waste dump, which was supposed to be lime stone, was in fact the richest part of the ledge matter. Pieces of black, fiinty looking rock, supposed to be the hanging wall, assayed 1900 ounces, while the streak of ore a few inc hes wide, from which the owners shipped their rich ore, worked about 200 ozs. The experts were satisfied. A dia- HULL ullll WAS I)uICIittSSu ana SIllDpGu to the mine. A lease and bond for 8 deed was drawn up and executed, and in due time the drill was boring a hole through the mountain. About three weeks ago, when the hole was in TO feet or more, an accident to the ma chinery caused temporary suspen- sion of operations; new tubing was necessary, and on Monday next new supply with new operator from Den i yer, who has made lifelong speciality of diamond drill work, will be at Will cox, and will go at once to the mine l The drill is expected to reach the ledge in about 300 feet and will tap it about the same depth.
 It was the intention of the holders of the option to wait till the ledge had been tapped by the drill before closing the sale, but since work has been com menced they have had chance to ex- amined .nore closely the three claims under bond, and are well satisfied to take the properties on the present showing. The confidently expect to have lO-stamp mill in operation be- fore six months have passed and an other bullion producer added to the list in Cochise county will be chroni- clea.-Prospector.

Dr. Thorne Not Dead.

EDITOR ENTERPRISE Tn relating to you the "Dr. Thorne Story" MT. John B. Hart, my old friend tried and true, inadvertently perhaps, made few minor mistatements.
 1 had the honor of writing up cer- tain "reminiscences" recently pub lished in the Prescott GA. T.,) Jour nal-Miner, and do not now remem- Der making the statement that Doc. Thorne had said, either to Cooley, Dodd or myself, "a burro" could be loaded with gold in day. Even had
 l said so, it would or should have been construed as simply hyperbole, and only that gold was unusually plentiful | whereabouts.
 MT. Hart says his interview with
 Doctor Thorne occurred in 1881; that
 the Doctor died in 1882 or 1883. Now
 my "reminiscences" were first pub
 lished in 1890, several years after the
 alleged death of Thorne Therefore
 the foregoing premises being true,
 how then did MT. Hart obtain his in-
 formation? Perhaps this knowledge
 was obtained from Doctor Thorne Che
 being dead,) through the medium of
 "slate-writing" or perhaps "table-rap-
 pings" So much for applied logic.
 Notwithstanding my friends as-
 serting that the Doctor died in 1882
 or 1885," Thorne has since that time
 sojourned for awhile in St. Johns, and
 is now hale and hearty old man, or
 he was but a short while ago, residing l af h5 of
 Manzanita mountains, New Mexico,
 east of the Rio Grande and about forty
 miles southeast of Albuquerque. It
 will be "fresh news" to the old Doctor
 to hear that he "shuffled off some six or seven years past.
 To be serious however, 1 am of the : opinion the Doctor saw quantity of pyrites, and at that time, as he says himself, being partially snow-blind," it was quite natural for the Doctor to : have been mistaken, in what he then
 saw and took to be gold. As an instance of the deceptive nature oi pyrites, my friend Hart will readily call to mind a place in the Santa
 Catalina mountains, about thirty-fve I miles, "as the crow flies," to the eas l from Tucson, where ledge of pyrite: e crosses a small stream of clear water e covering the bed of that stream witt : a great quantity of yellow nuggets, tina e ordinarily would likely be mistaken r for the precious metal, and particu e larly to one suffering with partia a snow blindness.
 Pesh-be-chee in the Apache language y signifies yellow metal" and every a thing seen by Apaches resemb!in: y "Pesh-be-chee," is called gold. Thi o know from my personal exper t fence with them. Therefore, tn 1t bare fact that the "Apache boy" Said i l. was gold, and that the "Apaches coul' 1T buy with it powder and caps" carrie a with it no weight in the argumen e whatsoever.

Another Veteran Gone.

Although Major c. P. Dake had been confined to his room for nearly q year and half, the community was considerably surprised yesterday after noon, to learn that he had died, as it was not generally known that his con dition had changed for the worse.
 Early in the war of the rebellion, c. F. Dake raised company at his home in Michigan, and was afterwards promoted to be major of the regiment to which it was assigned, and he made a record as a brave soldier. It was dur ing an engagement that he received a wound which never healed, and which after all these years was the cause of his death.
 Coming to Arizona, he was appoint ed United States Marshal for the terri tory, at a time, too, when it required tact and nerve to fill the position, but the duties of which were discharged by him in 8 manner to reflect credit. 1 Since retiring from this office, he has been engaged in business pursuits until over a year ago, when he was 1 compelled to retire on account of sickness and has ever since been con- l fined to the house.
 i The funeral took place this after noon at o'clock from the family resi- | dence on Marina street, and the re- mains were followed to their last rest ing place by large concourse of sor rowing friends and citizens of Prescott -Journal-Miner.

The prophesied destruction of San Francisco by q tidal wave and earthquakes failed to materialize last Monday, and while that city still revels in it's wickedness, the prophet who mistook the vagaries of diseased mind for a divine revelation is a rav- ing lunatic in the Stockton Insane Asylum. It is sadly strange that of all forms of dementia the religious mania is the most common and it's results the most to be dreaded The weak minds fall an easy prey to the superstitious awe inspired by the fear of predicted woes and the ex- citement created by religious fakirs and as reason goes out it is but step to involuntary crime. In these days when mankind is but a bundle oi nerves under high tension there i: great danger in such unhealthy ex citement, and Q little more consider ation for the condition of the humar liver will generally give to its owneI far less concern about the future anC q greater capacity to enjoy the bless ings with which the present surround him.

TIE death of General John c. Ere mont in New York city is announced. He was born in Savannah, Georgia, January 2ls', 1913, and was therefore somewhat more than seventy-eight years of age. While Lieutenant of engineers he made his famous explor- ations of the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific coast, consuming about six years time, from lS42 to 1849, when he was elected the frst Senator from California and served from lS49 to 1851. In 1856 he was candidate for the presidency and was defeated by James Buchanan. He entered the army as Major General in 1861, and three years later was a second time defeated as a candidate for the presi- dency. He was appointed Governor of Arizona in 1878 by President Hayes and was succeeded by Governor Tritle in 1882, since which time he has re- sided in New York, having been placed upon the retired list as Major General on July l7th, 1888. He eloped with and married Miss Jessie Benton, daughter of Senator Thomas H. Benton of Missouri, in 1841, which distinguished lady survives him. A governor of Arizona he was somewhat indifferent to the interests of the peo pie and spent much of his time out side the territory, notwithstanding which the people retain kindly recol lections of him.

Militia BIarksmanship

We understand that Adjutant Gen eral O'Neill and the Fair Association are agitating the matter of a com petive shooting contest between the various Territorial companies at the Exposition next October. It would be great attraction.-Phenix Herald.
 Adjutant General O'Neill was seen by the Journal-Miner man to-day, and asked in reference to the above item, and he vouched for his correctness He says that if the managers of the territorial fair will provide for trophy to cost not less than $250 for the winning team, and bronze medals for each member of it, he will give gold medal to the best individual marks man, and q silver medal to the second best His plan is to have each com pany in the territory select and send five of their hest marksmen to com pete for these prizes. There are at present seven companies, and by the time the fair is held, he thinks, there will be at least ten, so that this could be made one of the interesting features of it.-Journal-Miner.
 HOrticulturists of the county can not exercise too much vigilance in selecting citrus stock, it is said that a new and dangerous parasite has been introduced on recent importa- tions from Florida trees. Better to defer planting one or two years for the sake of getting clean, native trees than of mourning any risk of introduc- ing parasitical dangers. Those pests, like debts, are easy to acquire and very difficult to get rid of.-Pheni2 Gazette

Mammoth Notes.

The Mammoth mill was ready to start up yesterday, after q few days shut down for repairs. Capt John ston is grading a site for an additional 20 stamps, which will make total of 50 stamps.
 Baron Theo. Indestroth has sue ceeded in working the rebellious ores of the Mammoth up to high percent age of their value. The Baron is courteous and affable and is very much liked by all who have the pleasure of meeting him.
 Messrs. Barber & Clarke are putting up a trial plant for the amalgamation of rebellious ores, known as the Raber process, and which gives promise of working an entire revolution in anal gamation. The process is hardly ex plainable, but consists in forcing the pulp from the sluice plates through a body of prepared amalgam, the prepar- ation of which IS a secret, but is some thing wonderful, as it will amalgamate iron or copper covered with grease and seems to have an affinity for gold bnu sllNSr hO HldIJCI WIdI COnlDlu- ations of metals it is found in. If it is success, and there is scarcely any doubt of it, it will be grand thing for the Mammoth Co.,, as heretofore good deal of their gold has passed off in their tailings and was as good as lost.
 Chas. DeGroff, Louis Ezekiels and Jno. Dodson are the merchants at Mammoth town, and their trade is constantly increasing as is the popu- lation of the town.
 Many men are chloriding in the mountains near by, and Capt. Jack Burgess is opening large body of good ore eight miles north of the Nam moth for the Granite Hills Mining Co.

DEATH has been unusually acti ve among the members of the Fifty first Congress, it's latest victim being Congressman Samuel J. Randall, of Pennsylvania, the "father of the House" He was born in October, 1928. After serving a term in the state senate of Pennsylvania, in 1862 he was elected as representative to the Thirty-eighth congress, and has been regularly returned at each succeeding election. He served three terms as speaker of the house and has always occupied a prominent position in it's organization and deliberations. In politics he was democrat although upon some of the late issues he was not in perfect accord with his party.

STATEHOOD FOR ARIZONA.
Extract from Delegate Smiths Speech in
 the House of Representatives.

l wish your attention directed to this Territorial anomaly in a boasted Republic. Taxed without representa- ton; imposed upon by carpet-bag office-holders in a condition as de- plorable as the admitted condition of rebel States during reconstruction in a condition worse by far, and suffer ing indignities more degrading than those which called as one man our patriot fathers from the field of labor to the fight for liberty.
 Think of it One hundred thousand citizens of the United States, touched as much by adverse legislation as the i citizens of any State having as deep an interest in public affairs; educated far beyond the average citizenship of any State in the Union; having as much material wealth per capita as any political division of this great country; maintaining a school system superior in its liberality and equal in advantages to any in our land; treas uring in an extreme degree that patriotic devotion to flag and country which has signalized the life and adorned the history of our Republic remembering with reverence every struggle of man for liberty; holding sacred the matchless institutions of our representative Government; yet we are denied any voice in its affairs and are relegated to the poor right oi petition for the redress of grievances poor right once unheeded by the English throne and one to which Con gress is now equally deaf.
 This is not all; would that it were
 You will not let us administer oul
 own estates We are not permitted
 to spend our own money as we please
 We are refused the right to elect oul
 own officers. We are prevented iron passing on the ability, honesty, or in tegrity of our judges. Sirs, such al outrage is dark, disgraceful blot or the otherwise fair page of our politica history. It is denial of justice. l is a denial of decent recognition tt those who bear with you the burden of our common country. The insul to our manhood is more grievous ant enduring, with far less extenuatinl
 ON~
 fathers to break the ties of love an'
 reverence which bound them to tn
 mother country and ultimated in tn independence of the colonies. Is
 not strange that while we extol O
 our natal day the glorious achieve F ment of liberty for America, over on l hundred years afterwards we still hay t within our borders a political statu e more servile in it's nature, carryin e within it less of right, less of justice s less of liberty than England in he
 tyranny ever thought of imposing o Q the colonies?
 0 It is the constitutional right ( ), representation, the constitutional rigf '. to manage locally our affairs, the col d stitutional right to do as we pleas d with our own, and the constitution |; right to select our own officers, tt Is which we contend.
