Mr. James Edgar left Yesterday

| ago ana enjoyed his stay SO mucn GnaI ne
was loath TO leave us. Business in
terests, however, called him away. Mrs
and Miss Edgar still remain, finding that
our climate cannot be bettered.

Yesterday one of these RosinaEtes at
Jached to a milk wagon took a run down
| Congress street, and would probably be
going yet had not he struck the lamp
post at Col Durr's corner. This morn
| ing a Chinese vegetable cart took a spin
| down our streets at lively rate. the
| turnips and unions flew through the
| AR.
Bob Leatherwood is in luck again.
He recently purchased a one fifth inter
est in the San Juan mine, Altar District.
| Fourteen men have been at work for
about month, and have extracted 1SO
tons of ore. This is taken to a customs
mill about 30 miles and there reduced.
Mr.. Leatherwood brought in one ton of
this ore to the city, and had it crushed
by the Sampling works. 1t assayed
nearly 500 ounces of silver
at incendarism have been made In the
city Of Nogales; the fears ofsshe citizens
prompted them to institute watch up
on certain parties suspected, and Sat
turday night their vigilance was reward
ed by the capture of a fire-bug named
John Glynn. He was captured In an
attempt to fire the bake house belonging
| to Breen, and had coal oil, klndling

him to aid him in his daStardly deed.
Yuma will no doubt be his future home.
Bryan w. Tichenor leaves for Pheinx
| tomorrow where he has been engaged
in reporting some water cases involving
considerable capital. He has already
| reduced to writing an immense AMOUNT
of testimony and much more still
remains. There are s. plaintiffs in the
case. The dispute involves the question
of prior rights The parties on the
north side of Salt river are complaining
Of the farmers on the south side. Mrs.
TichenOr will accompany her husband
and assist him in his work.
Without any noise or commotion Bent
& Sampson are quietly getting there"
at the Humboldt. There are fifty men
at work on the mine and the mill is pro-
ducing a wagon load Of concentrates per
day. The total output reaches 5000
per month at present, which can easily
be quadrupled when the capacity of the
mill is enlarged. a prominent mining
man who is well acquainted with this
mine and who is not interested In 1t,
states that the Humboldt mines are
destined to be among the largest pro-
ducers in this territory in the near
future.
Work on the culvert across Main ST.,
is being rapidly pushed by Mr.. Flynn,
the contractor. The trenches for the
foundations have already been com
pleted. and Mr.. Flynn hopes to have
finished it all before the heavy summer
rains arrive. The grading of Main st.
is also being brought to completion, and
when that is the case, this street will be
one Of the incest in our city. For these
improvements much credit is due Mr..
A. Hittinger. who. from the first, took a
lively interest in the matter.
People living on Main street, IN the
neighborhood of the Palace hotel, are
Justly complaining Of the poorly sealed
cesspool which that institution has
seen fit to make in the middle of the
street. Summer is coming on and the
fields will soon be flooded. Add to the
miasma arising from the floods, the vile
odors of the surrounding Chinese laun-.
dries and the insufferable stencil Of the
above mentioned cesspool. no hope of
health is left for that locality. Every
body is inquiring whether it is the duty
Of the health officer 10 see ID the abate-
ment of such nuisances. t5.-9- .f =.
The idea seeming prevalent that the
title to property at present being sold
by the tax collector would he lnvalida-
led or affected by the recent decision of
Judge Sloan in the tax suits, represen-
tative of CITIZEN called the attention of
one of the attorneys interested in the
matter. Asking his opinion thereon he
stated. The statutes of Arizona ex-
pressly provides that where no
defense is interposed by the individual
property owners. and judgment is rem
1ered against the property, that the
Judgment is conclusive evidence OF the
validity and correctI ess of the proceed
ings taken to obtain judgment. Con
STRUNG another section of our statutes,
only those parties who interposed objec
tons to the Jurisdiction of the court can
claim any benefit under the decision of
Judge Sloan. Judgment was rendered
March 10. 1890, by Judge Sloan, against
all the persons and property, where OBJ
i=ctiOns hadl been interposed, as all
such had forfeited their rights to object,
and las to them the court made an or
Ter of sale, leaving the ca ;es of those
who had right to object, by having
fled their objections, be decided in fu-
Bure. In consequence, the title given in
The property now being sold by the Tax
Collector is as good as though the errors
upon which the Court decided the con-
tested cases, had not existed"
