The Musical Sense in Animals.
ponnlnr Scientific Monthly.

The higher animals can also enjoy themselves, as my house cat shows when he comes at the playing of the piano to sit by the player and some times jumps into her lap or on the keyboard of the instrument. I know of dog, too, in a family in Berlin, which comes in like manner when there is music, often from distant rooms, opening the doors with his paw. l knew of another dog, too, usually thoroughly domestic, which occasionally played vagabond for love of music. Whenever the semi-annual mass was celebrated in the city he could not be kept at the house. As soon as so-called Berknappen, which was accustomed to play at this time in the streets, appeared, he would run away and follow them from morning till evening. Evidently neither cats nor dogs, nor other animals that listen to human music, were constituted for the appreciation of it, for it is not of the slightest use to them in the struggle for existence. Moreover, they and their organs of hearing were much older than man and his muslc. Their power of ap- contemplated side faculty of hearing apparatus which has become on other grounds what we find it to be. Soft is, believe, with man. He has not acquired lis musical hearing as such, but has re ceived e highly developed organ of hear ing by a process of selection, because il was necessary to him in the selective process, and this organ of hearing hap pens also to he adapted to listening tc music

Between Arizona and New Mexico on One
 Score.
Gallup Elk.

The drawback to the prosperity of New Mexico Is not a question of statehood in particular There are seven men out of every ten who will admit that New Mex leo would be better off as a state, the drawback is of a graver form. Statehood under good and just constitution would do well enough. But the greatest and almost injurious of all the known evils that can be attributed to the prime cause why this Territory does not prosper as having all the advantages country un- der Gods sun can have, beautiful eand healthfUl climate, a productive soil for every vegetable and fruit, mineral in abundance, coal etc, is due to some of the people who come here from the East with a hundred dollars or so, and go into business with the sole intention to make money in a short time. and then go back and be wealthy men in their own village. They make no improvements, save all they can, run down the town they temporarily locate in so that no other enterprising man will settle in it-they want every thing themselves-grabbing and hoard ing all money they make to get rich quick
 After year or so they prosper and con clude to remain another year or two, If 1 they don't sell out for good figure after making their stake, some of them will die here without having done any good for the Territory or the community in which they reside. This class of parasites should go to tartarus to make their for. tunes, and the Territory will prosper even without the defeated trump constitution
 We need an enterprising class of people who come here with the intention of mal1- ing this territory their home, and not fol the purpose of making money, and taking ! the same to some other country.

Mining Notes.
Prescott Courier.

Assays of the segregated Parnell claim as recently made for the Messrs. Dillon, by Mir. E. Stahl, are as follows: No. 1, Sl3S.62: No, 2, S9S.55; No. 3, S926.05, mostly gold. The Parnell is said to be part of the famous Hillside mine. The Dillons are shiPp;ug0 0re to the Prescott sampler.
 Wm. Corners owns ledge on Boulder Creek which assays as high as S50O ton. gold. Top rock assayed $100 ton.
 The Catoctin mine, HaSsayampa dis trict, is looking exceedingly well. The ledge is almost five feet wide and very rich in silver It is a regular dividend payer.
 $. C. Mott says his mill, the Tuscum- bia, is crushing ores from the Warrior and Prince mines. The mill has but four stamps. Steve" wishes it had more as he has plenty of ore.
 David Grubb, just from the Hassa- yampa district, says mining is all right there.
 We have similar news from Big Bug, United Verde, Bradshaw and other dis tricts.
 Large teams, hauling gold sulphurets from the Congress, arrive here each day.
 Articles of incorporation of the Tiger M. & M. O., are printed in this issue. E. Burgess, who organized the company in the east, is now in Baltimore. but will be here in a short time. The superinten- dent, Mr. J. D. Helm, is having water pumped out of the mine.
 Hon. I. T. Stoddard, formerly president of the Gro Bella, is expected here soon to start another enterprise.
 The demand for quartz and placer To- cation notices is quite large. Jake Henkle is shipping ore from his Rapid Transit mine, in Bradshaw dis trict
 The sampler is running night and day. s. c. Mott and other miners tell us that the manager, MT. Claypool, has their en- tire confidence.

You're Another.
Globe Silver Belt.

The blood of the Epitaph Is up. Its type eXcitedly thrills and, inferentially, classes the Belt as closely allied to the late Ananias and Saphiara, and, in emo tional eloquence, accuses the moral edi- tor of the Belt with indulging in ungen- tlemanly epithets shouting out liar i'll regard to stri0tures appearing in pa pers opposed to Peter R. Brady. Upon reading the invective of the Epitaph we were concerned lest we might inadvertent- ly, in heated moment, have transgressed the law which has for many years entitled us to be regarded as a drummond-light in the moral and social walks of life, and so greatly concerned were we that we at once referred to the files of the Belt and re-perused the article in question, which, it was said, conveyed the impresslon that we were game cock wearing gaffs and spelling for a fight, but we failed to find a word in that article which denoted the writer as that sort of chicken.
 lis true that lye is a necessary ad- lunct ito the art preservative of all arts, but lye IS not derivation of the word lie. If the Belt would charge the Epi- taph-with lying too, 1t Gould only be construed in anautical sense, reefng sail with view of drifting amid the troubled waters of life to the tranquil haven of truth, where much might prove passing strange to the political editor of the Epi- taph, and perhaps cause him to entertain clearer appreciation of the integrity oi Peter R. Brady, and coincide with Kirk White upon the baleful influence of sian derous words; become one of us, pure as in the bloom of youth, always remember i ing they never sought in vain that sought | the Lord aright."

New teams are constantly appearing on the Globe road, and it is expected that by January lst the freighting capacity of that road will be increased 300,000 pounds.
 Jimmy Carr brought 24 horses and mares here this week from his ranch near Lordsburg, which he sold to Globe freighters-all but one, which broke its neck on being roped.
 Charles Noble, of Dos Cabezas, was in town last Saturday and favored us with a call He stated that the mill at Dos Cabezas made a successful run last week of 100 tons of ore belonging to Fowler and McGregor. and that about 30 tons belonging to Dan Waughtal, would be milled this week. Mr. Noble succeeded in poisoning, early last week, very large mountain lion that had killed colt be- longing to James Scow.
 Captain J. NJ. Philips and D. Johnson, who were arrested last week on an indict- ment charging them with unlawfully fencing the public domain, returned from Tucson last Thursday evening. They were not required to give bonds but will have to appear in Tucson on November 9th to answer the charges. As stated last week, we regard the indictment ot these gentlemen as an outrage, and their prosecution will result in nothing but costs to the government and expenses to themselves.

Deer Prnsrecting for Gold.
Mining and Scientific Press.

As stated elsewhere in the Press, there are some very deep gold mines in the Colony of Victoria, the deepest of which is 2640 feet. This is the Lansell 1S0 mine, Saudhurst. and rather a curious experi- ment is being tried there. The owner offered to place this deep shaft at the dis posal of the Government Mine Depart ment, for the purpose of having the ground tested by diamond drill beyond 26l0 feet depth, he furnishing the power compressed air-for the drill. The De- partment of Mines runs anumber of drills for just such purposes. They have IA diamond drills prospecting for gold and coal in different part of the colony.
 The Mine Department accepted the offer, at the suggestion of the under ground manager at Sandhurst, who has a thorough knowledge of the country, and was instructed to report on the best DOT ton for boring, they began a horizontal bore at the 1900 foot level It is thought that some one of the well known lodges would probably be cut by this horizontal bore. When this is completed 1t is the intention of the Department to commence boring vertically at the bottom of the shaft, 2640 feet, for further distance of 1000 feet.
 These operations will not only be of great scientific interest, but will afford information as to the character of the country penetrated which must be of great value to the mining community in general, and more especially so in Sand hurst district, where deep mining is car ried on to a'greater extent than elsewhere The mine is we'll situated for such trial, SC far as depth and nature of workings is concerned.
 It is to be remembered that this under taking is by the Government, not private individuals, and is to obtain knowledge which Is useful for the mining communi. ty. It is practical step, however, which will surprise many in this country, where the mines do everything for the Govern ment and the Government does nothing for the mines The idea of anything oi ! the sort being done here to encourage i the miners has never been entertain ed. But over there in the Australian colonies they encourage the miners in every way. They give rewards for the ! discovery of new fields, build roads to new camps, test peculiar ores, establish mining schools, publish practical infor nation, and even assist in prospecting g | field for the benefit of all. The miners there do not have to fight for fair play as | do our silver and lead miners here. We could in this country take several leaves out of the mining books of the Australian colonies greatly to our own benefit.

4 Matter of High Prices.
National Stockmau


 The coming Winter is certain to be one of the highest prices in nearly every thing which comes to the table of the consumer. Such articles of produce as are gathered in the Summer for Winter use are, nearly all of them, higher now than they have been for long time. with a certainty that some of them at least, will reach higher plane of cost. It is not unlikely too, that meats of all kinds, till make something of an advance before the arrival of Spring. Canned goods will, no doubt, be out of reach of many peo- pie who now consume them quite freely. Fruits it is well understood will be quite scarce, if at all available to the bulk of consumers. Indeed the outlook for the employed and for the unthrifty is not at all flattering, while ou the farmers side it must be said that it is in very marked degree encouraging. Consum- CTS have had everything their own way, though for quite a while, and should sub init with a good grace while the producer has his innings. The very fortunate part of the matter is that the producers who are fixed to supply the wants of the com ing season are not as numerous as it is desirable they should be, and the good will not therefore be enjoyed by every body engaged in production.

Discriminating Rates.
Prescott Journsl-Miner


 Superintendent W. B. Jones, during his trip to Albuquerque recently, endeav- ored to get freight rates on coal to Pres cott Coal at present can be had at the Gallup coal mines at about S2 per ton, while the present price in Prescott is $15.- 70 per ton, the distance being only $50 miles. MT. Jones' proposition to the At lantic x Pacific was to make net rate of one cent per mile per ton for the distance, agreeing to make this rate on the Prescott x Arizona Central railroad for the short haul, which would give them 75 cents per ton from Prescott Junction to Prescott as against $2.75 per ton for the Atlantic < Pacific haul. The latter road, 1t is stat ed, now hauls coal to southern California for seven-eights cents per ton per mile and to northern California for three, fourths cents per ton per mile, Gallup coal being landed in San Francisco for a freight rate of S700 per ton. Mr Jones very correctly estimates that by the rate proposed by him, from one to two car loads of coal per week could be sold in Prescott every week in the year, as this would bring the net cost at the depot at S550 per ton, to which $200 per ton could be added as profit to the dealer and cost of delivering to consumers, which would make the total cost to the consum- CTS in Prescott of about S7.50 per ton. We hope that the Atlantic & Pacific railroad company will look at this in the proper light and give such q rate as will make the use of coal possible in Prescott.

The Outlook ha Lower California.
prOspectOl


 T. Thompson, one Of the pioneers of Cochise county, returned last Sunday from long absence in Lower California. He went to Alamo during tue first excite ment there and has been there nearly all of the time since leaving here, twenty months ago. He describes the country as not being in a very prosperous con dition at present, owing to the big volume of water struck at depth of 100 feet and the inadequate capacity of the pumps to handle it. Everything is closed down at present, the only work being done is the working of placer diggings by China men, who make from two bits to six bits per day. There are between 800 and 600 of them at work, although they would willingly: quit if they could. The line between California and Lower California is closely guarded, and they have given up their attempts to get across the gulf and work their way up from Guaymas. Many attempts of this kind proved futile, the authorities at Guaymas turning them back and not allowing them to land. The country is virtually turned over to them as far as placer mining is concerned. The big ledge has proved its value to depth of 100 feet and the ore mills $20 per ton. Thompson thinks when they get fixed to handle the water the country will boom.

It is estimated by the cattle men best informed, that from 10000 to 30,000, head of fat steers will be shipped CT driven out of Arizona this season. From 5000 to B. 900 head will go into California. Those demanded at once for the beef market. will be shipped by rail, but those destined for the several large cattle ranches, will be driven by the trail. crossing the river here at or just below Yuma and going by the old stage road, via Cooks, and Indian Wells, or via Ortega's rancherias, the Padrones, Big Bend and New River to Indian Wells, and to their destination ;n the mountains. Arrangements have been made with the Mexican Custom House authorities for permission to cross the cattle over Mexican Territory. From a reliable source we learn that q large ferry boat will be put on the river, in which to cross the cattle over into California.

A small wreck occurred three miles east of Lordsburg, Wednesday afternoon particulars of which the Citizen was un- able to obtain for yesterdays paper The second division of through freight train broke in two, and the automatic brake stopped both pieces of the train instantly Following close behind was the third division, which crashed into the second division making kindling of the caboose and two cars of steamer freight just ahead The conductor of the train was Tommy O'Kelly, who is the luckiest and the un- luckiest man on the road. He jumped from the caboose just before it was struck A few days ago he had an almost parallel experience at Cienega, near the Allii wreck. He was also in the Allis wreck Tn none of the smash ups was he at all tc blame Engine 138, which was in the present wreck, was denuded of smoke stack, headlight, and steam chest. The wreck was soon cleared up, the passenger trains not being delayed by it.
