The Bradshaw Road.
Phenix Herad.

The new road into the Bradshaw noun tains which has been proposed, and for which money is now being raised, IS a measure of more than ordinary impor- tance to Phenix, and in fact to the whole Salt river valley. It gives access to a region of country of unexampled mineral wealth and where now are in operation some ten or twelve or fifteen important mines, one of which proposes to send out over the new road at least car load of ore per day. The road will make all of these mines accessible from this valley, with whatever future development may take place in the region penetrated by this road. The distance from PheniX to the Crowned King mine by the new road will be about 65 miles, about half way to Prescott. On the way it gives convenient access to the Castle Creek smelter and mines, Camp Hattersley, the Ryland or old Boaz, the Marsh mines over in Min nehaha flat, the Ore Bella. the old Tiger and Del Pasco, all of which are impor- tant properties with mills and smelters in operations and 1t will also give access to large number of properties not so fully developed and thousands of good claims and properties. Outside of the mines the road will open up the timber region of Minnehaha flat and afford the mines tim Der at a comparatively short distance. The great advantage of the new road Is that it will save about twenty miles of wagoning and will be available at all seasons of the year being a ridge road all the way and will therefore always be in good condition barring the usual small interference of heavy rains. To form some little idea of what the road will be worth to us we have little data to go upon. One of the properties the road will touch, a few weeks since sent out over the old road at con- siderable expense, carload of ore ore to parties here to have smelted as 6 test of what might be expected. The ore was full of lead and below the average | quantity, but 1t yielded net return oi | $700. This single mine proposes to send out daily not less than a carload, which put at Ss700 as an average means $21 ,OOC per month to be handled through busi ! ness circles here, or over quarter of { | million dollars annually, large portion of which will be expended iQ this valley 1 Now there are number of properties o this kind that will yield fully as well a' this one when development has gone a: | far. It Is not wild estimate to conclude 1 that this road will, in year or two, bring to our business men business of no
 less than a million dollars per annum and encourage the development of ont of the richest mining regions of Arizon; which now languishes because ore canno
 be got out at any reasonable cost anC
 provisions and forage cannot be got in a
 any better advantage The present lon,
 and roundabout road is not availabl
 more than half of the year, and then it i
 so bad that the movement of the ore anC
 other material over it is simply imprac
 ticable in necessary and paying quan tities

 W. ". Wall, of the Benson and Nam moth stage line, came in yesterday and went before the Board of Supervisors and placed before them picture of the con dition of the road to the Mammoth which after being considered by the board, was acted on by allowing Mir Wall $200 with which to work at repair ing, and in addition thereto authorizing him to act as road master to the extent of receipting for work done by citizens liable to road tax who prefer to put in two days work in lieu of the tax. MT Wall will go from here to Florence where he anticipates no trouble in getting a like sum to repair the road through Pinal county. Whether he will have any such good luck ill Pima county is an other question. The road had been badly washed, but will be put in frst-class or der just as soon as men and money car do it.

Another Chinese Habeas Corpus.
Phenix Herald.

This afternoon Judge Street obtained from the Supreme Court writ of habeas corpus, requiring U. $. Marshal Paul to produce before that body, cn Wednesday September 3, at P m., the person of one Chung Hong, Chinaman said to be held for violating the Exclusion Act It is charged that the Commissioner has neg lected to decide the case, and that the prisoner has been sent back to jail from time to time. Furthermore his counsel claims to have proof that Chung Hong is a resident of Phsnix and was such long prior to the passage of the above act. One question to be presented is, whether the court will take the case out of Com missioner Cummings jurisdiction, before he has rendered judgment therein. An other is, whether the court will examine into the facts of prisoners detention, ol leave that matter with the Commission CT exclusively Marshal Paul says he has already been sentenced to Mexico via San Francisco

Will Swallow up.
Tanne News.

The Democratic convention made a mistake when they ignored the claims of the Tempe district. This section repre- sents large body of sterling Democrats who keenly feel the injustice they receiv- ed at the hands of their party in conven- ton assembled There Is not the slight est doubt but that the ticket selected is on the whole strong one and that 1t will be winner, and to secure that end the News will earnestly labor. The fact, however, still remains that the delibera- tions of the convention were controlled by a combination. This was not as ii should have been. It was not Demo cratic. By means of one of the most un- holy combinations ever entered into
 Phenix was enabled to secure nine out of the eleven offices. to fill which the con- vention was called. Admitting that the nominations made are good ones, carry. ing great strength in the party; we stil
 ask, is this granting of offices almost en
 tirely to one precinct an act of justice tc other portions of the county? Notwith
 standing this outrage, the Democracy O.
 Tempe will prove that they are better and truer Democrats than the men who composed the disgraceful combination
 by giving the ticket their hearty support.

ELSEWHERE in thus issue we publish the declaration of principles adopted by the recent republican territorial conven- ton in Phenix. In the main they set forth the familiar generalities that may mean much or little, but they lack in force and aggressive enunciation the ex- pressions that were expected of that representative body In one particular, however, they reach quite beyond the bounds of reason and invoke unnecessary antagonism where a discreet diplomacy could have been advantageously display ed. We refer to the Mormon plank and it's strong denuncidtion of that element of our population. We have no love for these people and a portion of their creed especially abominable in our sight If they transgress the law under the cloah of religious belief, there are ample pro visions for their punishment without re- course to the extreme measures proposed. A love of exact justice cannot approve of the radical step taken in this document and its adoption creates but little en- thusiasm. The platform does not go far enough in it's pledges of economy in the administration of public affairs. In gen eral terms it favors the abolishment of useless offices, but who is to determine the exact scope of this indefinite declara tion? It may mean the honorary ap pointments upon the Governors staff, ol 1t may cover the entire list of territoria and county offices. Taxation Is ac. knowledged to be excessive and the prun ing should done fearlessly and openly. w, admire the position taken upon the silve question and upon statehood; the ariC land law, which has been repealed, by tn, way; the railroad extension, and the pub lie schools. These are subjects upon whicl all parties are in perfect harmony and ar mere reiterations of the popular demand We anticipate, however, that this declar ation of principles will cut but littl figure in the coming campaign, but tha the question of statehood and reduction of public expenditures will govern tn action of the voters in depositing thei ballots at the polls

Score One for WoIiex.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29- Governor Wolf ley, of Arizona, who resigned his office yesterday, is not disposed to say much about the matter.
 There is no ill-feeling between Secre- tary Noble and myself" said he to-day. "On the contrary we are the best of friends He may not have approved in his official capacity all of my acts, but our relations are cordial"
 Mir. Wolfley is very bitter, however, on the subject of Major Powells irrigation scheme, and when asked about the differ ences between himself and the Geologi- cal Survey he said: If an army of sol diers were sent to Arizona to drive out the people they could not clear out the country of inhabitants more effectually than the Powell bill would The people who went out there first did not expect the land laws of the Government to be changed SD as to keep other settlers out but this Is the effect of Mai Powell s policy. He undertakes to tell the people where to place dam, where to dig out a canal, where to cultivate a section of land. and it is misdemeanor to violate any of the provisions of his measure. In the meantime the lands are kept from settle ment till all his fine spun plans are per fected. Maj. Powell is doubtless a good engineer; but he is not q horticulturist and the practical knowledge of our peo- pie IS to be preferred in the construction of dams, reservoirs and canals to the | dictum of theorist."

Hold on.
Phenix Gazette

About six or seven years ago there was a general tendency to go into the stock business. Everybody that had a little surplus money and could get range went into the business, and the natural consequence was that it was overdone. The tendency at the present time seems to be in other direction. They want to get out of the business. Prices are low and stockmen discouraged, but looking at the question in cool headed logical way, it seems that just now is the time to hold on. Experience and observation in any business will teach that the time to embark in business is during panic by those engaged in a business to get out and that the time to draw ont is when everybody is going into it.
 The dry weather Ill many localities, with the shrinkage of pasturage and injury to the corn crop prospects, has caused the pushing to market of unprecedented numbers of cattle and hogs Indications are that in the near future there will be a short supply of cattle and hogs, with corresponding large advance in values Those who struggle along for another year or two will reap rich harvest.

THE threatened retaliatory legislation by Congress has raised the respect of the French people for the American hog to a degree bordering on veneration Some of the French papers now claim that the unctious product of American bacon is a nectar fit for the scions of their ancient nobility, and that the hirsute quadruped Is entitled, under the circumstances, to the absolute freedom of the republic. Now let us substitute the great American hog for the mere ornamental eagle upon our national escutcheon, for utiIitarian reasons if no other; beside which, the bristled beast inspires far greater re- spect abroad than the feathered denizen of the air.

THE republican territorial convention nominated Hon. Geo. w. Cheyney, of Tombstone, for delegate to Congress. Col Herring positively refused a nomi nation and Secretary N. o. Murphy also declined the honor, and the choice of the convention therefore fell upon MT. Chey- ney for that honor. MT. Cheyney is a native of Philadelphia and Is tmrty-six years of age. He was formerly engaged in the manufacture of scientific instru- ments, and in 1878 he started west, resid- ing for time in Kansas, then in Colorado, finally reaching Tombstone, in this terri tory in 1881, as manager of the Tomb stone Mining X Milling Company. He was elected to the Territorial Council in 1888 by flattering vote and at the close of the session was appointed Territorial Superintendent of Public Instruction. In sailable. His friends claim that he will re ceive the substantial endorsement of his own county at the polls and will make ; strong canvass.

Irrigation of Fruit Trees in September,
Corr. Phenix Herald.

Corr. Phenix Herald.
 The inhabitants of the Salt River val ley are jubilant over the abundant sup ply of water in every canal of this beauti- ful and richly endowed valley. and con gratulations are heard on every hand fer the aqueous gift sent down this August from the mountains. It being the sur plus over their wants after nOurishing the grassy blades and green herbs and furnishing the mountain streams with life giving water and thus providing food enough and to spare for the uncounted cattle upon Arizona's thousand hills. There is no doubt that this generous supply of water has come at a time when 1t is much needed, and at the right time for its application to fruit trees generally. Trees of good size, if adundantly watered at this time of the year, will perhaps re- quire little or no more this season. It IS the practice of some people to feed their trees with water through tie summer and late into the fall. The result Is they force their trees to grow large amount of worthless branches that weakens their vitality and provides labor for the pruners to cut away It Is true that certain amount of new growth of wood is requir- ed for fruit bearing another year, but after that has grown 1t should not be forced to a large size, for size of limbs in the fall does not always indicate strength, but often the reverse. The more important matter to strive for during the next two or three months Is the ripening of the wood that will be fruit bearing next year, and if this is brought about the trees will bear, conserve their strength and will give it out in flavor and fruit at the right time. It must be borne ill mind that most of our fruit trees are deciduous and it Is absolutely necessary that they should have good period of natural rest during the winter months and on no account should their growth be forced by the ap- plication of water far into winter, fol they cast their leaves from exhaustion ol by the chilling frost, and are made weak to an unmeasured extent. In conclus- ion would say to fruit growers in the Salt River valley, use with care the water of our full flowing canals, for wise ust will give you fruit but prodigal use will yield you more labor and less profit.

What Causes the Burden.
St. Johns Herald

The total assessment of Apache county for the years 1890 is $2,900000. Deduct ing ten per cent for deliquencies, leaves $2,610,00O. The levy made by tine Board for the current year is S2.50, reduction of 50.oents over last year. on the $l0O worth of taxable property. This would make, of money actually collectable, the sum of $65,2 5,250. The Territory will re- ceive as its proportion of this sum. $22,- 26026; county schools $13,050; leaving $29, ,948.75 to run the county government. It will be seen from the above that it costs each county nearly as much to pay the expenses of the Territorial govern ment as it does to run its own. 1t is no wonder then there is a demand from every quarter of the Territory for the abolishment of useless offices. Of what benefit to any county i'll Arizona is the Attorney General? What duties does he perform that cannot be attended to by the District Attorneys? What Is true oi this office, Is true of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, of the COmmis sioner of Immigration of the Territoria Board Equalization. The cry for the re duction of taxation is universal through out the Territory and our representative to the next legislature could not begir the work of retrenchment in better way than by looping off these useless append ages our body polite.
