Something New and Good

Col. Dur has again made a step for ward as a public benefactor. 1t had come to his ears recently, that some of the ladies of Tucsen were complaining about the beer sold iE this city being bitter. Being on confidential terms with his grandmother, famous old lady who has spent her ifei n studying the likes and dislikes of her sex, he wrote her, explaining what was the matter with the ladies of Tucson. The grandmother knew at once the remedy, and straight way sent carload of the celebrated Extra Pale Erlanger Standard Beer. This beer arrived yesterday, and has been sampled by the best judges in this city. and pronounced the best family beer in the West. It is just the thing for the ladies, and no bitter taste is car ried with it. The Colonel asks that every family try a few bottles of this beer, and feels confident that they will have no other afterwards. The grandmother has never made a mistake about the wants and needs of Tucson, and will answer for the satisfaction given by this new beer with her reputation, which is good.
 The Colonel has been instructed to sell this beer at SIP per bbl. and s220 per doz, so that all may share in the luxury nd benefits afforded by It's use.

OUR mining interests are on an up ward turn. Improvements ali along the line have set in. Developments are show ing mineral; and careful and coaserva- tive management is overcoming many obstacles which have impeded progress in the past. Investors are providing the necessary means to promote the successful advancement of mining, and the day is not far distant when croakers will croak less, and those interested will have satisfactorily demonstrated the value of mining and the great profits to be derived from it, in comparison with any other investment that can be offered. We can cite many instances Of com panies who to-day pay consecutive diri- dsnds averaging unprecedented interest on capital invested. Mining, to be sue cessfully advanced, requires develop ment of property, and to successfully develop mining property requires time and money. The necessary adjunct to this is patience and confidence on the part of those interested. We reiterate that our mining interests are very en- couraging.

At Col. Durr'S Place.

| It was learned yesterday from ti 6 i Colonel himself, who wGs taught to ai- ways speak the truth by his good grand i mother, that since he moved his business [ from Meyer to Congress street, his bus mess had increased in volume from day to day. He now sells one car load of John Wieland's beer every three weeks, and more than car load of Apheuser- Bush beer. in tho same length of time.
 Beer is only one branch of the large business now carried on by Coi. purr, at his corner on Congress street.
 Swiss cheese IS received in ponderous cases direct from the old country, and hlS sales amount to over 700 pounds month; also California cheese is hand led Tn large quantities, and the finest of LlmOerger cheese IS always kept on hand, though the sales are not enormous ly large.
 His cigars are all made specially for him and are sold at wholesale and retail
 THE wARUM DARUM BRAND IS we'll known and has no superior for the price. The latest brand is the Tip pecanOe, and it is equal to any cigar to be had in this market.
 Queen olives, the best ever offered in this market, are received direct from Spain, in huge casks.
 In the cellar is kept fine Sherry wlne. dozens of barrels, and everything that is better by being kept in cool place. .
 Whiskey is received from not only all over the United States, but much direct from the old country, three or four of the best brands made in Hamburg. In one room alone, the reporter counted
 155 BARRELS OF wHIsKEY, and including wires and brandies, his present stock would not fall short of 3O0 barrels and kegs. Also a choice brand of mescal IS handled for the benefit of those who like it.
 Besides, all the finest bitters known to mankind, are kept, many of them being imported. In fact, everything in the way of saloon supplies is kept, and noth- ing but the best quality is sold
 IN ANOTHER DEPARTMENT was found bacon, ham, lard, ,pickled pork, dried fish of all kinds, corned beef, tongue, pickled tongue, pigs feet, saar kraut and vinegar, crackers, tobacco, mustard, chow-chow, deviled ham, ham, berger eel, and every table delicacy. Something new was exhibited: box of dried lax, one of the finest fish known and found only in the waters of Norway

THE people in the country have no idea of the amount of whisky that is distilled. Not in the United States as a whole, but in the State of Kentucky alone. From Col. Joseph Dur, one of the heaviest importers and dealers in the territory, the following figures oi the Kentucky whisky industry have been obtained, winch go to show that notwithstanding the efforts of the prohi- bition;sts, the manufacture of whis- ky has steadily increased, and the amount of corn consumed is of course proportionally large. The stills of An derson County have daily mashing ca pacity of 3,500 bushels. The total pro- ducts of the Blue Grass state for the year ending Juno 30, 1889 was 9, ,130, ,1Ol gallons, but the estimated production for the year ending June 30, 1890 reaches the enormous amount of 34, ,5l4,527 gallons. This whisky as it leaves the still, is in round numbers worth as many dollars as there are gal Ions, and by the time it gets around the country and is properly distributed, and gets in its work on swelled heads, its values in dollars and cents have in increased at least ten fold. Judging by the foregoing facts we are incliped to the opinion that the temperance field in Kentucky has neither range, rider nor fence, but is as big as the whole earth.

HET0oK THE WRONG MEDICINE

Robert Stewart, of Petaluma, recently had q queer experience. He writes:
 "Carbunclcs and boils inflicted my face and neck for weeks. Finally procured bottle of one of t'lc leading Sasi2 pa-iilas To my surprise it made matters worse. This made me lose faith in Sarsa- Iar:lIas. b,1t seeing statement that Joys Vege- table Sarsaparilla dried up boils and face erup- tions instead of forcing more out, as the potash sarsapariIlas do, bought bottle. The effect was astonishia-. The carbuncles and boils began to dry up, and in two weeks my face was as well and smooth asever. My brother also took bottle with the same benefit. ROBERT STEWART,

 The rage Of political war in Phenix ol Tuesday last, went dead against the re publicans, from Mayor down. We re- gIet thls exceedingly. It had been re ported hereabouts that PheEix was re- publican, and that its non inees would be elected by large majority, but the votes counted otherwise. Certainly the cause of this sudden change of heart ir the people of Phenix should be inquired into and the defect cured. We do not like to see this weakening of Republican issues, anl sincerely urge that the cause be made known, and the proper remedy applied. Phenix is naturally republi- can, and Coates, its recent candidate for Mayor, good business man and popular with the people. Again we say let the cause be inquired into.

THE stock raising interest as become one of the most important in the Ter ritory. There are now almost as many parties prospecting for stock ranges as for mines, and they are meeting with good success. Where ranges are well located, with plenty Of water, there is no business m the world that offers the sure and certain enormous returns that cattle raising does. The climate of Ari- zona is so mild and favorable to stock that success in this line of industry ie certain, and the present export of cattle from our territory speaks volumes in favor of our stock ranges.

WE mOdesty rise to inquire of the City Council why it is that Mayor M@ish IS allowed to maintain filthy cesSpool on Main street, west of the Palace hotol, to the disgust and annoyance of every resi- dent in that neighboFhocd. It has been a standing wonder to every practicing physician that pestilential disease does not break out in that portion of the city, on account of the stench and efiiuvia srising from the cesspool in question Complaints of this standing nuisance as menace to the health Of the ci:y have been frequently made, but as often disresarded. For the pa three days it has been overfowing on the street, and permeating the air with its foul odors, and, although notified of the fact no at tention has been paid to it. This same thing has happened a dozen times dur ing the past year. Forbea1ance has cease1 to be Q virtue, and we propose now to call halt to this gross violation by the mayor of the city, to the health ordinance of Tucson.

ARIZONA is bound to lead in the pro- duction of copper. There are fine cop per fields in every direction, but the prospector should remember, when ask ing high prices for his prospect holes, that the price of copper bullion is likely to drop, and then such property will not be so much sought after.

THE SILVER PROSPECTS

The silver men, says the Denver Times seem to be gaining ground in Washing
 ton. Tie Republican senators held a caucus yesterday afternoon to decide, if possible, upon the. action to kbe taken on the silver question. No agreement was reached. But the gold men made some notable concessions. They signi- fled their willingness to give up the con- promise bill, and accept Mir. Jones' meas ure. They were evidently afraid to take the risk of free coinage fight in the open Senate, not probably that they feared the actual consummation of that object, but that they were alarmed at the prospective development of strength i in its ;avor.
 Senator Jones' bill provides for the purchase of S4,j00,000 worth of silver bullion each month, and the issue of sil- yer certificates upon it, redeemable Tn lawful money, and receivable for GUS toms, taxes, and all public dues. This is accepted by the friends of silver, as maintaining the money quality of the white metal, and as an ;sdvanee toward free coinage. T. will provide a market for ali the silver produced in the coun- try and will operate to increase the vol ume of currency. The indications now are that 1t is the measure that, with pos sibly some amendments, will be finally agreed upon. The free coinage advo- cates seem inclined to adopt it as the best thing that can be now obtained, and as the promise of complete triumph in the not distant future.
 If this measure should be finally agreed upon in the republican caucus Of both houses, it would pass doubtless with little debate. Therefore all irrita- tion within the ranks of the republican party, all developments of bitter and dangerous differences would be avoided. as would also be danger of a presidential veto. The democratic senator and re presentatiyes who profess to be the friends of silver would be compelled to support the bill or else make themselves ridiculous by purely factious and ab- surdly aggravated partisan opposition. They would probably choose the latte- course. The average democrat would condemn Moses. Decalogue or Christ's Sermon on the Mount if endorsed by a re- publican caucus. And that engaging individual also conscient tiously improves every possible opportunity to make himself absurd and preposterous.

There are certain high toned ply.
sicians here in town who play it low
down" on their patients. They affect
al undecipherable handwriting and
inform their patients that the prescrip.
tons should be taken TO certain drug
gists. If the patient thinks he can do
better in the matter OF rates at another
drug store he presents the prescription
there and is reluctantly informed by
the clerk, after a protracted session
behind the prescription counter, that
he cannot read the writing. Then the
patient is necessarily obliged to take
the prescription to the drug store de-
signated by the physician, where it is
put up without any ado and where q
good, round price is charged for it.
The patient pays this without a muir
muir, for there wouldn't be a cent in
murmuring. Now, why does this
high toned physician do thisH Simply
because he has an arrangement with
this particular druggist whereby he
gets a rake off on every prescription
compounded. He has a cipher ar
ranged with the druggist and no one
else can read his prescriptions. These
are the physicians who object most
strongly o their professional brethren
who advertise. Chicago Herald.

Emme Rousseau the other day. Emme
used to be an opera comique prima

wallows in wealth. Twelve or fifteen
years ago she Travelled about with a
Babes in the Wood" show and sung
that mnudlin song yclept Baby
Mine"
1t is supposed that some shrewd
friend must have warned Emme that
the newspapers were guying her song
of Baby Nine" for suddenly Emme
abandoned the song and substituted
one of a digniied character.
But when the company reached New
Orleans Emme was thrown into an
ecstasy of joy by n letter from the
Pelican club requesting her to sing,
upon n certain night, her famous
Baby Mine"
OF course Emme consented, and the
matter was duly exploited in the local
press. On the appointed evening
Emme got herself up in gorgeous
fashion, and she fairly dubbed over
with delight when she saw that tho
two front rows of seats in the parquet
were occupied by members OF the Peli.

The most convenient and Immediately
effective is the ancient japanese or Chi.
nese headache cure called menthol, or
camphor of peppermint. 1t should be
rubbed upon the head and face all over
the region of the fifth pair of nerves,
avoiding the eyes, until there is an agree
able sensation of refreshing GOODNESS. II
properly used thus, and its fumes in
hailed, which it gives out when heated
by the hand, the relief and comfort is
immense. When there is a general SEN
sation of exhaustion five drops of pure
chloroform and a teaspoonful of red
lavender, mixed in a glass of cold water
by a druggist, is excellent; follow it as
soon rs possible with some light refresh
ment.
When the system needs immediate
nourishment, drink a glass Of milk made
as hot as it can be swallowed, taking it
in long sips. Phosphates, in addition to
the hot milk, will feed the brain tissues,
and, taken persistently, will enable one
to do a vast deal of work without ex-
hAustion.
Egg yolks beaten toA cream with pow
dered sugar, and the whites beaten to a
troth, and both shaken thoroughly with
cold milk, refresh and sustain during
night work.
The various crystallized fruits, espe-
cially cherries and r~aisins, and such
thoroughly cooked sweetmeats as jams
and jellies are good. OF course, none of
these sweets are to be eaten as they are
at the table, but rather taken as distrac-
tons to the tense nervous system.-Cor.
