The United States
Mutual Accident Association

Was founded in 1877 to give the best
accident insurance at lowest cost, con-
sistent with absolute security. From
the first it has issued liberal contract
which has always been literally con-
strued. From time to time it has added
more liberal features to its original con-
tract, until today it is giving much
better protection than has ever before
been given by any organization furnish
ing accident insurance.
Its methods, the justice and liberality
with which it has treated claimants, and
the reasonable cost of the insurance it
furnishes, have won for it such degree
OF popularity that it is to-day the largest
organization furnishing accident in
Surance.
Death by accident or loss of both
eyes, hands or feet, $1,000; orpermanent
total disability, loss of right hand or
either foot, $4,000; for loss of left hand,
$I,25o; for loss of one eye, $3.50; weekly
indemnity up to 81 weeks for tempo
rary total disability, SIS. The above
benefits cost SIS per year if paid at one
time, or premium calls of s. each at
intervals of forty-hve days. $4,000
insurance at proportionate rates.
The losses paid by this Association to
the first day of May, 1890, amount to
$I,8SI,7o5.II.

The Argus says that the nomination of
Mr.. Hill for Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor instead of Democrat of middle age"
such as the Argus recommended, shows that
there was nothing ''cut and dried" about the
the convention. That isn't the opinion of
the Bangor Commercial. According to that
lively organ of the "wets" Chairman Frank
cat the proceedings very much to suit the
Meal Dow Democrats" and made it very
dry, when as matter Of fact it was wet.
The officers Of the great transatlantic
steamship lines seems to be carrying things
with high hand on both land and sea. Not
content with jeopardizing the lives of their
whole ships companies by reckless record
breaking trips across the ocean, they, or
some ofithem, are engaged in the rather un-
safe occupation of bucking against the laws
of this country. This pastime, exciting and
pleasurable as 1t is while it lasts, is liable to
stop with distressing suddenness and to be
followed by proper punishment.

Concerning the merits OF the dispute be-
tween the horse car companies of Columbus
and their employees we know little. Public
sympathy appears to be with the latter, and
public sympathy In such cases is likely to
be on the side where the merit is. But con-
corning the merits of the police force of Co
lumbus there can be no doubt. It has none.
The duty of police force is always to PIE
serve the peace and keep order. And this
the Columbus force did not do. The merits
OF strike can never. in civilized commu-
nifty, be SO great as to justify the destruction
OF private property, disturbance of the public
peace, or coercion by force of men who are
willing to work.

Riverside Mines.

Mir. John Boucher, who has had charge of the Ray Copper mine, near Riverside, for the past year, arrived in the city yesterday, and left this morn ing. He brings good reports from that section, and says the mines are looking well, where any work is being done. MT. Boucher has accept ed position with Mir. John C. Loss, of Casa Grande, and went direct from here to the Central Silver Camp, where he will have charge of the new mill about ready for starting up there j; Mir. Boucher thinks the stamps will be dropping during the next ten or if teen days.
 Messrs D. W. McCallen, Thos. Haley and Vim. Sufferin are engaged in developing a group of mines on the river four miles from Riverside, and 25 miles from the Ray mines, that is showing a fine body of carbonate ore, rich in gold and Silver, and carrying a good percentage of lead. Itis believed that sale of this property will be eff fected at an early date, as negotiations to that effect are now about cOnsum- mated
 Messrs A. Nieman and James Elder are also developing the Victoria group of gold properties, and are making q splendid showing.
 Mr. Boucher is enthusiastic over the country surrounding Riverside, and thinks it will develop into rich mining district, when sufficient capi- tai can be induced to open up the splendid prospects that abound Citizen

Board of Supervisors.


 The board of supervisors at their session this week, opened bids for the sale of the court house and jail bonds and for the construction of the court house. For the former the Rollins In vestment Co.,, of Denver, Colorado, bid 954 per cent of the face value of the bonds and accrued interest to Febru- ary 20th, 1890; and Perry Wildman's bid was at the same figure. The bonds were awarded to Perry Wildman.
 For the erection of the court house, M. B. Cox, of Phenix, bid $30, 300 and Adams & Doran $29,000. M. J. Sullivan had prepared a bid, but his certified check did not arrive in time for its consideration, and the contract was therefore awarded to Adams X Doran. of Florence.
 J. M Creighton was allowed the usual architects commission of 2 per cent on the contract price and was paid $250 for extra services in per fecting the court house plans.
 The board ordered that the court house and jail be erected upon the west half of the cemetery lot in Florence townsite.
 The resignation of J. B. Fitch as justice of the peace of precinct No. l was accepted.

The Colorado PIacers.

From MT. Thos F. Fraser, of the Colorado River Placer Company, we learn that the reported permanent suspension of work at the Pot-holes is false in every particular. The ces- sation of work will not exceed ten days at the longest. The present manager, Mir. Jackson, has disposed of the major portion of his interest to California parties who will energetical- ly prosecute developments. A stock holders meeting was held several days since and another meeting will take place on Friday next, when plans foI more extensive operations than has been accomplished heretofore, will be discussed and adopted. A bright fu- ture is in store for the company Yuma Times.

Statehood.
iPhenix Herald.)

Arizona has all the essential ele- ments necessary to become a State. In proportion 10 her population she has greater natural wealth than any one of two-thirds of the other States and Territories in the Union. Her people are industrious. enterprising and self dependent to an unusual degree, and withal are remarkably law abiding, though exposed upon the Mexican border to what is supposed to be a rough set of customers; but it is a remarkable fact that the border criminal and smuggler gives Arizona a wide berth, for ArizOna's officers and citizens have a habit of most relentless pursuit even into the midst of the Mexican States, when crimes of mag nitude are committed within their jurisdiction. Nor has Arizona been compelled, up the present time oresort to the vigilants as has our more north cru neighbors, notably Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, California, and Col orado. Montana yigilants strung up some twenty-two outlaws inside of six weeks at one time; California found it necessary to maintain vlg- ilante organization for years but Arl- zona has so far succeeded with the eN- ception of enc or two instances, ot reaching the criminal class through the law, a notable instance being that of the hanging of six murderers at one time in COchise county thea the most lawless county in the Territory, by regular, lawful court proceedings. The writer recalls but four instances in the history of the Territory when lynch law has been resorted to, in twentv-seven years of our existence, a showing that cannot be made by the majority of the States and Ter ritories west of the Mississippi rlver
 The ioulest blot that stains our Ter ritorial escutcheon to-day Is the recent Wham robbery and that was case for the United States courts and oih- cers rather than for our Territorial courts and officers. With the record for push, for law and order, for patri- otism, for patient waiting amidst the most discouraging conditions, tor hard work and great success in the development of our lands and our mines, for downright neglect by the Government and the great imposition thrust upon the people in the shape of Indian reservations and armed and pampered hostiles, for their brave bear ing and noble determination to give to the Union what will be its brightest gem, the people of Arizona are grand ly worthy of being granted State government. Would the present Con- gress be just to us; would it be cogni- zant of the rights Of the whole people of Che Union; would it grant well earned reward to a section of this Union as large as the New England States, it will give Arizona permission to come into the UVon. The act would be just, it would be wise. Until she is given this privilege her develop ment must per force of the necessities of that development, go very slowly or stand still. Arizona awaits the invitation, "well done thou good and faithful servant" come up higher.

School Histories.
 While we were lying at Fort Laramie ill 1885 8 Kiowa Indian from Kansas came on to act as government scout He could speak English first rate, and having lived among the whites for years he had picked up a good many pointers. We soon learned among other things that he could ''put up his dukes in first rate style. In fact, when put against our best man, "Joe," as the Indian was named, knocked him out in the seventh round. We put him on to few extra dodges, and then waited for the fruit to ripen.
 Troops were pouring in for the Indian war, and most of them were old vets from the Army of the Potomac Most of these were in great hurry to knock over an Indian, either with fist or bullet, and the half dozen redskins about the fort had to hustle to save their bacon. One day when the sign was right, we logged Joe out in true Indian style, gave him his cue as to how he should act, and sent him down among some Pennsylvania troops. They spotted him for a scalp raiser at once, and were hustling him around, when we appeared and demanded fair play. The leader of the hustlers was a big corporal of fistic fame, and the minute it was proposed to get up mill between him and the Indian he jumped clear off the ground and yelled:
 "Whoopee! That hits mel I've been lay ing for Injun I'll give you my head if he stands through the first roundl'
 Arrangements were soon made. We went out where the wagons were parked, cleared space, and the principals were soon ready Joe was as calm as May morning, having little to say, while the corporal was all ''gab" and excitement, and kept calling out:
 Watch him, boys, and don't let him run :"
 We had six ounce boxing gloves, and it was to be Queensberry rules When Joe was ready, every one but the corporal could see that he had ''been there;'' the latter was in such hurry ito punch an Injun" that he overlooked particulars. He weighed at least thirty pounds the most, and there was grin of delight on his face as the call came. He went in to secure knock out blow, but sev- eral surprises awaited him. He could no more hit that Indian than boy could lasso a weasel and when the first round closed his grin had given place to look of aston ishment
 When round second opened we gave Joe the wink. He made a dodge or two. feinted swung his right with a smash and the cor poral uttered yell and went to earth to snore like horse for five minutes before he came to. It was as clean knockout as any one ever saw, and he was man enough to re alize it. When he could keep his feet he reached out his hand to Joe and said:
 Don't set me down for fool am sim ply fresh-too fresh. This has salted me. however, and if you'll come around to the tent I'll divide half and half with you, and then give you revolver which captured in Virginia to learn how to get that swing with the right. New York Sun.
