Where the Laugh Comes In,

While it is true. as a contemporary says, that much laughter has been ere ated In connection with the office hol- ders' case, we are compelled to state that such excessive mirth came entirely from the almost interminable verbose, thigh fallutin" opinion of the dissenting Demo cratic Judge. The following extraets will show his style and the sort of reas. oning he was compelled to resort to in support of his untenable "consecuti7e day" conclusion:
 "The assembly was wholly and simply creature of the national legislature it was the nurseling of Congress; draw ing the milk of its existance from Con- gressional maternity, and living, moving and having its being in the will of Con- gress. * When God said, lei there be light he both directed and commanded, and the glory and blessing of that subtle agent covered the void earth. If the teacher says to the pupil: get your lesson,' it is both a direction and command. If the father says to the son, go to the stable and bring my horse. by the back gate, into the yard. the language is also a direction and a command. But if the son should bring the horse into the yard by the front in- stead of by the back gate. we apprehend there would still be a substantial execu- tion of the power or authority confer red"
 Such wonderful bosh from the flower Of democracy's judicial representatives IS what makes 'even Steiglitz laugh in derision." It would make long cared burro hoarse for six months.-Phenix Herald.

The Waifs of New York.

"Waifs of New York;" with a new star and an abundance of new, bright scenery, opened at Harris yesterday to an i'm msnse audience who expressed their ap- preciation of this well known sensation al melodrama with loud and prolonged applause This melodrama has been given at this house annually for the past three seasons, and is, therefore, fla miliar to the many patrons of this the ater. Tie story is interesting in plot, and is full of sensational and thrilling scenes. Its scenic effects are many, prominent among them the Harlem Railroad Bridge" "Tho Tombs' Court, g Castle Garden" and a sensational fire scene in Five Points" The little sou brette Kate Emmett, made quite hut in the leading role, Willie Rufus, waif by faithful portrayal of the little waif brought tears one minute and smiles the next to her large audience. She is a cleayer little woman and deserved the success achieved yesterday. Her com pany, comprisin. Geo. w. Thomp- son, 1. J. Langdon, Charles Patterson, w. F. Walcott, Miss Maude Peters. Lottie Williams, is a capable one and added much toward the success of the performance. 'Waifs of New York" will be given every afternoon and evening during the week.-Cincinnati Commer cial Gazette.

1893.

Item in the Prospector in the year 1893:
 Hast night night as the cable car was coming down Allen street, the gripman failed to see the train on the Tombstone and Mexican railroad, and before he could stop his crowded car it had crashed into Banker Woods private car, which was attached to the regular train, demolishing the cable car and severely injuring several persons. Among those who were more or less injured were Governor Cheyney and Superintendent Hatch of Yuma prison. Trustee Prin- derville had his head badly cut by com ing in contact with one of the bars of bullion being carried to the Worlds Fair by Supervisor Thomas. 4. Ash man, Esq, the water king, was also hurt about the head by falling upon the patent to the San Diego mill site that had just been issued to G. c. Berry.

The Atlas and Red Rock.

MT. J. w. Haskin, of Chicago, the General Manager of the Atlas Copper mines, came to this county few days ago on business connected with his company. MT. Haskin is highly pleased with the future prospects of the mines, and feels certain that they are destined to be amongst the largest cop per producers in the United States The copper obtained from the ores of these mines is soft and pliable, entirely free from arsenic, antimony and other injurious foreign substances, and is sold in New York for 145s cents per pound The only difficulty which has as yet been met with at the Atlas ie the secur- ing of an abundant and steady supply of water. The well has been bored to a depth of 700 feet and will supply from SOO0 to 10000 gallons of water daily. This however is not sufficient supply for ali purposes, and the work of boring still deeper will again be resumed. Mr. Quiggle took the contract for S15O0 to bore an additional 200 feet, which will make the well 800 feet deep. At thls depth 1t is expected to obtain an abun- dance of water, but if such should not be the case, the company Is determined to sink until 1t is reached and will con tipue boring, if need be, to tue depth of 1900 feet.
 At Red Rock better success has been achieved in the securing of water. Mr. John Gardiner of this city was given the contract for boring the well, which he sunk to the depth of 615 feet. At this point large supply of water is obtained. As a test 21,OOO gallons have been pump ed per day and the well could still fur nish mere. The water in this well rises to within nine feet of the surface and as it's mouth is on small knoll it Is in- tended to run a tunnel at the foot of this, which will of course secure flow of water on the surface. If they sue ceed m this the company will apply for the bounty offered by the Territory for any person securing an artesian flow of water.
 The mines of this district are owned by two companies, the Atlas Copper Company and the Red Rock Copper Company. Between these two com panics ever sl6,0G0 have been spent in digging and boring for water, and 1t is es';ciGted that it will take ab0ut S2CCO more before thsir wells are put in per fee; or-lcT to supply sufficient amount 0. water.
 The miners of this district have extract ed large quantities of orc from their mines, and they have suspended opera tioGs On account of the lack of water for smeltirg purposes. These companie, are carrying on their operations ID 2 methodical and scientific manner, and seem determined not to stop work a: long as they have ore, and this seems to occur in exhaustless quantities.
