Some time since MT. E. l.. Wetmore reported that q Gila monster (Helo- derma Suspectum) in his possession had laid five eggs. Upon closer in- vestigation however, the eggs in ques- ton were found to be those of the common Arizona quail (L. gambelD which the monster had swallowed and after the contents had assimilated, diSgorged the shells. Gila monsters, in common with all reptiles of its class, are oviparos. The eggs they produce are elliptical in shape, soft but tough shellcd, equally rounded at both ends, about an inch long by half an inch wide.-Tucson Citizen.

The stage driver, who was held up last week, says the Bulletin did him an injustice last week by stating that he lost nc time in emptying the stage of both mail and express. He says one of the free booters got into the stage and got the mail, and as for him, he did not move hairs breadth, because the other fellow kept him covered with pistol as long as his arm, into which he looked and saw bullets as large as duck eggs and of about the same color.-Valley Bull

A Prescott correspondent to the Phenix Gazette closes an interesting letter with the following deserved trib- ute 10 one of Arizona's stanchest friends: "The people of Arizona love a manly mana man who will take hold and help to develop the indus tries of the Territory. Sterling old Governor Stafford is the kind of a man Arizonans like to tie to-a man who is not afraid to do right, and the peo- pie of this Territory will some day. I hope, have the supreme satisfaction of showing their regard for one of the best and bTavest ol Arizona's govern ors."

Notwithstanding the fact that the contract for printing made by our Supervisors states distinctly that ad- verlising shall be done in the weekly paper, and in the agsekIy only, yet the board orders advertisements run in the daily and pays therefor the reg uiar rates, which are many times more than the contract rates, and also pays for advertising ill the weekly. The nigger in this Case looms up pretty clear. But then our Board Is imma- crlate, you know. and such work as this is necessary 10 keep its crown buInished.

HENRY CLAY GOODIEG.
Tue New Chief Justice of tie Supreme Court
 of Arizona.

The people of the Territory are just now interested in knowing all about our Chief Justice. Below is given a sketch of his public services taken from the Journal, published at Evans vile, Indiana, Judge Gooding's home:
 The news of the appointment of Hon. H. c. GoOding to be Supreme Judge of Arizona was received by everybody in Evansville with entire satisfaction. When the telegram an- nouncing his selection was received MT. Gooding was at Indianapolis, att tending the State encampment of the G. A. R., and therefore congratula- tions that were ready 70 be showered on him had to be postponed until his arrival home, when they came in a perfect avalanche, and it is almost needless to say that his appointment gives general satisfaction.
 His conduct and bearing have been such as to make him many friends and few enemies, if any. His ability as a lawyer is we'll known, and as public speaker his superiors are few. It IS common remark by men of both political parties that the Presi- dent made a good and popular ap- pointment in his selection of Capt. Gooding.
 MT. GOoding made the race Con- gress some years ago against Judge Niblsck when Knox county was in this district. He was new in the dis trict and quite young man but distinguished himself in the series of joint debates he held with the veteran Congressman. He subsequently, was elected to and served two sessions in the state senate and was recognized as one of the leaders in that body. In the last political campaign his voice was heard in several parts of the state, and his listeners were never wearied nor disappointed.
 Capt. Gooding served his country in the late war and has always taken an interest in the cause of his comrades. He is now commander of Farragut Post, G. A. R., of this city. He has been prominent in our public move ments and meetings for the welfare of the city, and has given good counsel and inspired interest and enthusiasm by his eloquence. He will go to his new field of labor bearing with him the good will and full confidence of his neighbors and townsmen.
 Capt. Gooding came to Evansville when quite young man, and rapidly rose to an enviable position at the bar. He has continued to command the re- spect of his co-laborers in the legal field. and to enjoy lucrative practice at the bar.
 He married daughter of Charles Babcock, Esq, and has two charming children, Miss Gertie and Master Clay, the former of whom is now at Wash ington attending school. Socially Mir. Gooding occupies the same envia5le position as he does legally. He is noted as one of the best takers in the city, and his services are always in de- mand for the most important occa- sions.
 It is understood that Capt. Gooding will accept the position. It is high compliment to the First District, and one that is duly appreciated.-Mohave Miner.

The Phenix Herald suggests that Col. Herring would make a good first United States Senator for Arizona and the Herald is correct. But how would it do for Col. Herring to put his shoulder to the wheel and assist the Republican party by accepting the nomination for Delegate to Congress? He could be elected if he would make the race and his election to that office would not interfere with his election to the Senate when the territory is ad- mitted as state.-Nogalss Herald.

A curious instance of the instability of human nature is evidenced by the Ari- zona press, which is just now bowling fo' statehood. Last year when the measure came up for discussion the entire press, with the exception of three progressive and wide awake papers, denounced the measure; but now that the vigorous work of those three papers has attracted the favorable attention ot Congress, the hold backs have wheeled around and are loudly proclaiming that the success of the movement is due entirely to Meir ef- forts.

Tucson will come to this city on the 3d of July and remain until the 9th A series of ball games will be played during the time and Tucson fondly expects to carry back with them that particular broom; but they won't.

No rain has yet fallen on this DOT lion of the Territory and crops are suffering in many places. When a thorough system Of storage reservoirs and artesian wells is established this thing of praying for ram and depend ing on the uncertain whims of the weather will soon be forgotten.

And now comes the news hat an east ern genius has invented "snore-pre- venter." The apparatus consists of a slip of celluloid which is put between the lips and teeth aud the wearer Is com pelled to breathe through the nose when sleeping. The idea seems to be a good one, but it Is question whether 1t will prove superior to a dig in the ribs, coupled with the request, "For goodness sake turn over and quit snoring and let somebody else sleep awhile"

It is an unpleasant fact that of the sew eraI murders committed in this county during the past year not one of the mur- derers has been captured, and I am constrained 10 say that the good name of our county is not benefited thereby The capture and punishment of a mur- derer would be very welcome change to the people. They are becoming weary of this manner uf doing business, which virtually puts premium on the commis sion of crime. Something or somebody is to blame and the fault should be found and removed.

He concluded he would become bold, bad bronco rider and says he wentup higllenough to see the clerk of the weather. but as his time was limited the interview was not very lengthy.

The ground they have located is mineral bearing and as extremely rich fnat has been found in that vicinity it is possible that their dreams will be real ized They propose to have town of their own and will call it ''El Sepulcro,' a name that will be fitting for suburb of Tombstone.

Now that strawberries of home pro- ductiUn are in the market, and the sup ply is entirely unequal to the demand, it would seem good idea for some one in the city to devote several acres to tile cultivation of this delicious luxury.

was witness to an unusual scene a few mornings ago in which an appontee and an employe of Uncle Sam were the principals. Tbe exhibition grew out of the condition of the employe when he re- ported for duty on that par icular morn ing. He had evidently been elevating receptacle containing fluid of a dark amber color and the task had made him weary-very weary. A few moments after en erlng the building he came out, wearing an aggrieved and injured ex- pression which evidently came from a vigorously yielded toe of boot that made a simultaneous appearance on the scene. The injured expression continued to deepen as the admnnisher continued to chastise and not until the edge of the sidewalk was reached did the boot cease it's convulslve motions and retire from sight. The weary one then got his bear inSs and straightened himself up, threw his shoulders back, elevated his chin, tilted his hat forward at a dangerous angle and circled away with the bearing of cUnquering hero.

for successful people, who are said to
have ''leaped over every obstacle"
Biographers Of eminent men are particu.

at the goal Of their hopes by this steeple-
chase process. But the truth il, that i'm
petuous spirits who charge at every
impeachment In their path on the sink-or-
swim, survive-or.perish plan, unless ia.
vored with extraordinary luck, are more
apt to sink than to swim, to perish than
to survive. It Is advisable TO 60 round

cases, as energy.
