Grand Canyon Gold.

Last week when the gold excitement was at fever heat, and wagon loads were leaving for the gold field, Fetch CT Fairchild, Robt. Johnson and Geo. Rogers were among the number that were in search of the hidden treasures They returned on Tuesday evening full of hope and with countenances radiant with bright prospects at their new discoveries. They located five claims in all. four of which they be- lieve to be silver and one gold They brought specimens which they will have assayed at once. They brought specimen of ruby silver which they think will run at the very least $500 to the ton. Their lead is from four to ten inches in width, and the croppings from four to ten feet, and extends up and down in rock for number Of feet. Their discovery is down in the canyon about seven miles. They ex- press no doubt that the canyon con tains large quantities of mineral. Rog- CTS and Johnson are both experienced miners and think thereis no doubt but that the mineral is there in abun- dance.
 Later-Since writing the above we learn that the returns from the Den yer assay has been received, and the result we learn is iavorable.-Flag- staff Democrat.

A Big Establishment.

Now that the greater part of their new and immense stock of goods are represented upon the shelves of the mammoth store of W. c. Smith < Co.,, few words relating to this ner- cantile establishment may not be out of place. The store and ware-room cover ground space of 424 by 125 feet, the retail department occupying room 42t by 624 feet, with cellar of equal size below and the Masonic hall above. The ceiling is sixteen feet high and the whole interior is finished in natural redwood, oiled and polished. The building is a hand some and solid structure, built after plan designed in St. Louis, and it is one of the best and by all odds the most elegant store building in Ari- zona.
 Upon the left as one enters the Main street front, is the grocery de- partment, comprising every conceiv- able article of merchandise in this line, even to the rare and imported delicaCies to suit the epicurean taste. Upon it's shelves are displayed samples that attract the eye and tempt the appetite, and the great cellar below contains the vast assortment of bulky provisions and goods pertaining to this department.
 Upon the opposite side the ladies find perpetual delight in the wide var iety of handsome and choice dry and fancy goods in endless diversity, con taining new and novel goods that find favor with the gentler sex. Here may be found everything to suit the wants of the people, from the plainest print to the most elaborate dress patterns and all the intermediate articles of merchandise.
 The gentlemen's clothing and fur nishing department displays a well se- | lected stock suitable to the wants of every patron, and the stock of boots and shoes cannot fail to supply every demand. There are hats and caps oi all kinds and sizes, ladies trimmed and untrimmed hats, blankets, quilts, floor mating, q big line of crockery and glassware, agricultural implements clocks, folding screens, and ten thous and other articles of utility in the household, the farm, the range and the mines. It is far easier to enum- crate the things not kept in stock by this enterprising firm than 10 detail those displayed for sale.
 This grand establishment is under the immediate charge of the junior member of the firm-F. E. MaldonadC who is one of the most successful, and thorough of the young business men in the territory. The apparen ease in which he discharges his many great responsibilities attests his grea ability in his chosen occupation Through his uniform courtesy to hi patrons and fair and honorable deal ings, he has established a business 0 vast proportions, and his tact and ca pacity may be relied upon to retain it

Sonora Ores.

There was invoiced at NogaIe March, 1890, 1,0S4 900 lbs. of ores increase of upwards of Al per ..u over the month of February.
 This amount was distributed af as follows: Nogales per cent, J. yer 715 per cent, Pueblo IS per eel Socorro per cent and Tucson oil The amount consumed here at No gales, during March, was l49 per lcec,ss greater than the amount ill February, which is doubtless attributable to the enterprise of our townsman MT. Sala- gar.
 These ores should be worked at the smelter located at the lower part of town, and we hope soon to see some enterprisiDg firm take hold of this shelter and work these ores. If II could be conducted in an honest and economical manner it would add much to our prosperity. The item of labor alone would add several thousand doY lars to this towns finances every month.
 The invoice value of these March, was upwards of $68,OOS
 would be quite an item to be q. s 2 the business of these dual towns
 The freight item on these ores March was about $8 900, which cd be saved to the producers, if the were worked here, and this item alone would doubtless be an inducement td our neighbors across the line, to giye us these ores to work.
 Through the kindness of MT. Deloss H. Smith, Consul in Nogales, Sonora, the Record is enabled to give the above figures as to the ore shipn1ssssss. :; Nogales Record

The gold mine recently discovered by Mellor X Young, above Dudley vile, near Ash Creek, on the Globe road, was originally found by soldier while on picket duty at that point many years ago. He tock an axe and returned to the place the night follow ing its discovery and broke off a small sack of the rich ore which he took with him. He afterwards died in the hospital in Tucson and just before his death he gave the doctor in charge his sack of gold with a full description of the place where he found it. Many parties have sought for this mine and n great deal of time and money has been expended to find it. Some of the searchers went very close to the ledge but for some reason failed to find it. II it is one-hali as rich as the soldier represented it to be, the pres ent locators are the luckiest men in the territory and their fortunes are assured. But no one can tell what may be found below the surface-it may be richer still, or 1t may prove to be all expectation. It is hoped that 5t is a veritable bonanza.

The Chicago Advance, in it's report of recent meeting of Chicago min isters, gives the following highly com plimentary notice of Rev. Frank w. Gunsaulus. As this gifted gentleman is well known in Florence and is a property owner under the Florence canal, it will not be uninteresting reading "Dr. Gunsaulus, who seldom has leisure Monday, gave Study of the Higher Ministries of the Poetry of Robert Browning. It was read from manuscript, while the Doctor remained seated at the chairman's table, and though the position was quite unfavorable to eloquence in action, yet the scene presented by the reader and his hearers was at times very striking. The magnificent phrase ology, the wonderful ease and grace of utterance, the strength of memory, the energy of imagination, the earnest ness, passion and power incarnated in this eloquent man, with the breath less interest and astonished expres- sions on the faces of his intelligent hearers, made such picture as is seldom witnessed at the Ministers Meeting. In his chosen field of dis course Dr. Gunsaulus is we'll nigh unequaled"

Got the Courts Now.

According to the Tucson Star Ari- zona don't need any land court. IL says;
 Senator Edmunds, chairman of the judiciary committee in the L. s. sen ate, declares that the U. s. district courts of the territories have jurisdic- ton to try and determine the titles to these grants. And this has been the opinion of the leading members of the Arizona bar for number of years. Ii congress refuses to pass the land-court bill, then title can at once be heard by our present courts, and the decis- ions, whatever they may be, can be taken to the supreme court of the United States, so that it appears that ere long this vexed land grant busi- ness can and will be cleared up and that by the judicial arm of the gov ernment, which will give our district courts large amount of additional work"

The Senate committee has reported a bill appropriating $350,000 for the examination and preliminary survey of the great plains region, with view to ascertaining its water resources. This will include, after preliminary report in June, the boring of artesian wells, obtaining water by sunken dams from the seepage of rivers and other overhows. The report was made by Senator Moody, of South Dakota. Monday Senator Plumb will report the bill outlining the general policy of investigation. The only change made in the bill from the synopsis already set out is to limit the proposed new homesteads of irrigated land on the east by the 104th degree of longitude. The effect of this is to leave the pres ent pre-emption and homestead laws in operation in the Dakotas, Kansas Nebraska, Eastern Colorado and East ern Wyoming. Arizona has much to expect from the practical tests 10 be made.-Exchange.
