Che of the Effects.
$. F. Chronicle.

is one of the results of the insane ravings of the lunaiic Erickson and the equally irresponsible harangues of the woman Woodwork, who should have been either in the insane asylum or the County Jail, the county of Ala meda Is inst now afflicted with what may be called an epidemic of lunacy. IL Is not meant by this that all the people of the county have gone crazy, but that the number of recent cases of insanity is very large, and many of them may be traced directly to the un- natural excitement created by the preaching of Mrs. Woodworth ana her colleagues and followers.
 History repeats itself in this as in other cases. At various epochs in the worlds history there have been noted these waves of insanity, and in almost every case they have been traceable 10 pseudo religious excitement created in very much the same way as that in which the W0odworth-Erickson com bination operated. Some zealot or en- thusiast, more or less of unsound mind, has declared that he has seen visions and dreamed dreams, that the spirit of prophecy has descended upon him, that he has been endowed with supernatural powers, and that he has mission to warn people to flee from some impending calamity, and straight way, with about as much wisdom as flock of sheep possesses, the people have arisen and followed these false prophets. The wave has rolled onward with seemingly resIstIcss force, but in It's recurrence the feeble and weak minded have been stranded upon the shore of actual insanity or imbecility. There seems to be no cure for this disease People like to be deceived. was the dictum of a Latin philosopher some 2O0O years ago, and 1t Is as true now as then. In ordinary, everyday occurrences most men and women re- | quire an abundance of evidence to convince them and to persuade them to action, but in the realm of the un- movable they seem anxious to ac- cept the bare word and unsupported assertion of the veriest mountebank or charlatan.
 Nothing will remedy this condition of things but the law of the survival of the iittest. We may assume that those who go crazy as the result of Mrs. Woodworth's exhortations or Erickson's prophecies were not people of very well balanced intellects to be- gin with, and that they would have brought up in a lunatic asylum or a home for feeble minded people even ii left to themselves. At the same time this is no argument for permitting such exhibitions in public as Mrs Woodworth used 10 give, for though evil must come, that does not excuse the wrongdoer.

A Truckee telegram says: "A. ". Chellis has invented an electric miner al ball which unerringlv indicates the location Of gold and silver coin when buried and of lodges of gold and silver ore. lie has given several tests, al- ways meeting with perfect success.
 To-day over 100 citizens witnessed two trials under test conditions. The inventor was carefully blinded and large sum of money was concealed below the roundhouse. By means ot his ingenious apparatus the hidden treasure was found inside of ten mn utes. The experiments were repeated and each time were successful.
 His invention consists of an egg shaped ball suspended from magnets and complicated electrical apparatus. All are substantially supported by means of a tripod.
 In over one hundred public experi- ments during the past month the ball has never once failed to point out the exact spot where gold and silver are located. The electrical ball is found- ed upon strict scientific principles, magnetism, electricity and the. natur- al affinity of certain chemicals for gold and silver being the basis of the invention.
 IL will point to sum exceeding @500 buried anywhere within half mile of the instrument. Usually two trials with the apparatus at places a little distance from each other suffice to locate the exact spot where the treasure is buried

 "That q new customs collections district to be called the district of Ari zona, be, and the same IS hereby estab- Ished, which shall embrace all the ter ritOry now included in the territory of Arizona; and q collector shall be ap- pointed for the same 10 reside at No gales, which shall be a port of entry for the district and said collector shall receive in full for all services as col lector a compensation at the rate ol $2,000 per annum which compensation shall bein lieu of salary, fees, commis- sion, storage, and all perquisites of every name and nature" A Times reporter saw Collector Clark yesterday and after hearing the news he said:
 "Well I am glad of it. My district was entirely too large. By taking Ari- zona from Fl Paso district still leaves me all of New Mexico and over five hundred miles in Texas. Nogales will of course be headquarters of the Ari zona district and will be made a port of entry. The candidates who lead in the race for the collectorship at No gales are M. $. Snyder, of Tucson, and George Christ, of Nogales. Of course there arc other candidates, but in my opinion one of those gentlemen will secure the office"

 Pay roll, Build the Road.
Tucson Star.

Capt. Johnston, superintendent ol this famous mine, gave the Star re porter the following interesting facts relative to the company's undertaking:
 The greatest depth reached Is 800 feet. Last week, when making cross cut at tine depth of 800 feet, they came across a vein B feet in width and of remarkable richness Every new point that is touched demonstrates the fact that the mine is mass of veins, of the richest ore, and that it ably sus- tains the fame of being the largest and richest gold mine known Capt. Johnston says too much cannot be said in it's praise.
 The wages for last month amounted to Tl0 GOO, and when the new mill is in operation, which 1t is expected it will be by the lst of next month, the pay roll will amount to the grand total of $20,000 per month 50,000 feet of lumber are beng used in the mine every month. There are 1000 feet of levels ami cross cuts in this gigantic Fl Dorado; hence the importance of this mining camp as tributary to Tue sons commercial interests.
 The Star will have to suggest the pressing importance of our merchants taking in hand the opening of the new road from this place the Mammoth at once. $l 300 could not be more profit ably expended by Tucson merchants. A very strong effort is being made by Benson, Cochise county, to direct the trade of this corporation to Benson. and they have offered to build the entire road to accomplish this purpose The question is, shall Tucson permit The money to accomplish this purpose should be raised at once. The return of profits to our merchants will soon exceed the sum required.

Along the Colorado.

The surveying party that started five months ago to descend the Cobra do river in boats, reached Yuma on the 24th instant.
 After passing Lees Ferry they were compelled to send back four of the original party, including one who had fallen from a cliff where he climbed to take photographic views At the head of Glen Canyon the river bed was found to be 3250 feet above sea level. From this point the current gradually increases in speed until it plungs over rapids, boulders and into whirpools, the descent averaging four feet per mile for six hundred miles to the mouth of the Grand Canyon where the stream again resumes it's flowing placidity In this locality the altitude is only seven hundred feet above the sea. The walls of Glen. Canyon were but a few hundred feet in height gra- dually increasing in altitude towards | its mouth.
 Ofall the grand and beautiful sights afforded by nature, none can compare with the scene beheld in Marble Can yon where solid blocks of marble, acres square, without a seam, crack or fault, stand at regular intervals like colossal sentries, for mile after mile along the river edge, It is estimated that in this locality millions upon millions of horse power, afforded to the rapid waters, Is running to Waste, sufficient Co generate the power need ed to run all the quartz mills of Cali iornia and Nevada as we'll as those of the territories of Arizona and Utah. Here may be established the largest and best building stone quarries in the world, from which both marble and sandstone can be cut to any dimen- sion desired, by the use of the water passing beneath where, in many places, there are abrupt waterfalls from four to fourteen feet in height How many tons of marble slabs might be turned out here? How many car loads of marble dust? How many bar rels of lime? And how many tons of ore from the mines of the surrounding country? The mind is fairly bewil- dered with the possibilities of this re zion and the time will come when em- ployment will be offered thousands of men, who now are idle, in quarrying, mining and freighting those valuable commodities. On the completion of the projected D., G. c. G P. By, great hotels of marble will arise to accom- modate the large number of tourists who will come to view the wonders of these unique canyons, grander by far than any to be found in the now known world Where will be Swiizer- land, the Tyrols, Italy and Scotland when the opportunity is given travel CTS to read from natures pages the story of the creation and that too, in a climate of perpetual mildness, heal ing and inyigorating qualities and balmy sweetness.-Y una Times.

The Tucson Fronterizo through q correspondent, insinuates that the Mexican prisoners incarcerated in the Territorial Prison are discriminated against to the advantage of American convicts- The Times has often visited the institution in question and at all times has been accorded every possi- ble courtesy in furthering it's investi gatIOns. At no time has this paper noticed the tendency alluded to. nor have We any reason 10 believe that 1t exists. It has been the practice, to our way of thinking an excellent one, to give the prisoners work for which thelr past training and capacity would appear to fit them. If, as might have been the case, a number of Mexican inmates were placed at outside work, it is more than probable that they were not fitted, owing to possessing no knowledge of the trades, profes- sions or clerical pursuits, to perform other than manual labor. However, many Americans are identically em- ployed, and this fact in itself Is suf- ticient 10 indicate the lallauy of the statements advanced by the Fronter- izo's correspondent. A glance through the shoe, tailoring and blacksmith shops would serve to dispel the illus sions of our Tucson contemporary, as a considerable proportion of Mexicans can be found in every one of these in stitutiOns. So far as food, clothing and quarters are concerned all are treated alike The penitentiary Is a public institution and as such may be visited by any citizen at will. Such a trip would go far towards correcting the mistaken views now held by the Fronterizo. The Times makes the above statements simply as matter Of Justice.-Y una Times.

Recent advices from Sonora are to the effect that the coal measures of that state are much larger than was at first anticipated. In several places the finest classes of anthracite coal have been uncovered and the belief is prevalent that a greater depth will evidence larger bodies of coal than have heretofore been known to exist The company now engaged to ex plotting the fields have a diamond drill in place and important results may be looked for soon. If half the eXpecta- tiOns indulged in are realized the bus mess of the entire Pacific coast will be revolutionized and manufactures will spring up all over the country where such things are now impossible on account of the scarcity and high price for fuel.-Citizen.
