FIVE DOLLARS IN HIS POCKET.
The Coin That Frank Work
Started Life With,
New York Evening Sun.

New York Evening Sun.
When Frank Work, the great Wall
street magnate, was nine years of age
his schoolmaster punished him I'M
mercifully by grasping one of his
hands and pounding the ends of his
fingers with a fcrrule until tn blood
spurted from them. When he went
home he told his mother that he would
never go to that school again. His
mother wisely sympathized with him
and agreed that he should not again
come under the authority of such a
man.
In commenting on the whipping to
his mother Frank uttered mild cuss
word, and for this his mother promised
and gave him a whipping. This nearly
broke his heart, and he plainly told her
il would be the last whipping she should
ever inflict upon him.
That night he babe his mother good
bye, kissed her affecti0nately. packed
up his belongings. and, with a S. gold
piece and about so cents in his pocket,
left the house. He has not seen his
mother since.
He worked his passage ON a boat to
New Orleans. and in course of time
drIfted to New York and into Wall
street, in which neighborhood he has
since made his individuality felt, and
graSped snndry situations and dollars.
The strangest part of his story is that
through all his trials and privations he
never found it necessary to spend the
original gold piece with which he left
home. He is now seventy-one years
old, and as hale and hearty as il is pos
sible for man of his age to be, and
he has that coin still in his possession.
and treasures it more than anything he
owns. But he is not avaricious, and.
while he kept the s., he spent the 80
cents,

1t was on Saturday afternoon that
we returned to Bessemer, after having
spent five days visiting various point of
interest in the range, including Gogebic
lake, the BrothertOn mines, the Palnes
and the town of Wakefield.
On Saturday the miner usually draws
his pay from the town deposit agent
and forthwith he proceeds to celebrate
that night, recovering on the Sabbath
in time TO glorify himself from Sunday
night to the working hour on Monday.
There could not have been a more per-
pitious night to see the worst deviltry
of the localities we proposed to visit
than this Saturday. Money was Oh the
wing and wine on the lip. The char
acters OF the sordid drama were in high
glee and the prospect for our expert
ence was thrilling indeed.
Loot, the avenue god, the lad who
knew toilet becoming only gentle
men, was ordered to smear the oil and
grease of chunk of iron ore over his
face and hands, so that his polish and
pOmp0sity might be mitigated and his
dirty face and splOtched clothes palliate

WBy They Should Appeal.

The question of appealing the case of the territorial officers to the supreme court of the United States, is one of great importance not for the purpose of settling which set of officers are entitled to the various offices, or its emolnments-but for the future guidance of the legisla- ture of this territory. If the legis- lature can adjourn every two, four, or six days for given number of days, at their own will and pleas ure-or at the will and pleasure of a bare majority, and do it under the law, the people of Arizona should be apprised of the fact. If a majority can compel the attend ance of the minority for a session of six months at the capital, for partisan or any purpose, 1t Is time
 
 the men who toll for a livelihood should understand it and keep out of politics; and on the other hand, the business men, whom the people of the territory desire to assist in making her laws, cannot afford to forego their business-theiE com mercial establishments and stock ranges, to come to the legislature to dance attendance upon the wish es of a set of politicians, whose on ly interest in Legislation is, what it returns in dollars and cents. If, we repeat, this is the law of the coun- try, the future legislatures of Ariz)- ma will be composed of lot of place hunters and tricky politicians, as the men who would honor the territory in the capacity of law makers cannot afford to accept the position under such conditions hence 1t will be seen at a g lance, that the opinion of a competent court should be sought for the flu ture guidance of the people of Ari- zona, regardless of party.-Gazette

Cattle Market.

Fair to good beef cattle are com ing in plentifully to San Francisco from all directions, and though the weather cleared and outdoor labor was resumed, prices have weakened since last week about half cent. Thin cattle are not so numerous as some weeks ago, but there are yet more than enough to meet the de- mands of the market. Mutton con- tinues cheap, and nice barren ewes, on account oftheir small size, fetch about as much as wethers. Heavy sheep are not worth over Sc. Small, choice dairy calves are weaker, and the demand for veal is light.-Butch- CTS Gazette.

A Mexican Burglar.

Mir. Fowler ol the Huachuca mountains came in town a few days ago and left his house locked. When he returned home he found that all of the wearing apparel had been packed off, including dresses and linen of all kinds belonging to members of his family. He institu- ted a hunt and after a short time located the thief, and an officer was secured to make the arrest. The right man was suspected for he had a burro with him packed with a mountain of stolen goods. He was brought before Justice Easton this afternoon, and upon examination, bound over to appear before the next grand jury. His accomplice was captured shortly afterward and now keeps him company.-Pros- peCtOr.

Are Water Rights Taxable.

The subject of the taNtion of water rights in this county is attracting considerable attention among the people and has some
 very fine points to be considered. There is within the county upward of S3,000,000 invested in water rights or their equivalent, which arc not especially assessed, do not
 pay taxes. Water rights are entire Iy distinct from stock in canal companies, which is assessed they are entirely distinct from the pro- perty ownership, appurtenanceS or corporal hereditaments of canals these values are assessed and tax ed. They are however, sold by the canal companies, attached to the land under any certain canal, cannot thereafter be detached from the land or separately transferred, nor can the land be transferred without the water right, and it is probable they are included ordina- rily in the value of the land. They are in fact somewhat of the nature of an easement granted for consid eration by the canal companies to the holders of the land. This vast investment of money in the county is untaXed and apparently untaXa- ble, at least not directly taxable. The question being considered by thinkers in this direction is Wheth- CT these water rights can be made directly taxable. Probably not. In fact cursory examination of the case would make it appear that such rights are already indirectly taxed, and that is all that is requir ed. Lands that have water upon them, that are attached to water rights, are, or should be worth more than lands not so attached and es- pecially if they have not water up- on them, and this increased value of land is the value of the water right and is included in the assess ment, is taxed.-Phenix Herald.

That Cave.

The cave at Mountain Springs, about which so much has been said and written, has at last been explor- ed. The parties have returned to Tucson, and the Citizen gives the following meager account of it's in terior;
 Mir. Shaw came in yesterday from the Mountain Spring ranch, and states that the country around his place is looking very pretty. lie has been blowing, planting trees and erecting new and substantial build ings on his place, and when he gets things arranged to his satisfaction he will have one of the most pleas ant summer resorts in this Terri tory. A few days ago he, in com pany with Lieut.. Gale, of Lowell, and a party of soldiers, returned from an exploring trip inside of the cave, which Is situated about half a mile from his ranch. They used candles and magnesium wire to light their way. They trayeled for five hours inside of the cave, and even then could not find the end of 1t. Mir. Shaw describes the interior of the cave as presenting a very beautiful appearance, with every kind of lime cabinet specimens, fnger-shaped and kidney-shaped stalactites and stalagmites occur ring in great quantities. They also found a number of deer's antrers, which were probably the remains of that animal after being devoured by a mountain lion. They found holes in the cave so deep that the sound of a rock as 1t struck the bottom could scarcely be heard by them. The height of the cave, Mr. Shaw says, was in places 30 to 40 feet, while occasionally was met a low, narrow passage not more than three feet high, leading into these large chambers. Altogether this must have been a very interesting exploring trip.-Prospector.

The Apaches confined in the Graham county jail for the murder of Herbert, the freighter, seem to take life easy, playing cards about fifteen hours out of every twenty four. It is reported that they will attempt to prove an alibi when the case comes to trial. If not present at the commission of the crime, their flight with those who did, show that they were into the scheme Bulletin.

A Big Canal.

Washington, April 10.--The house committee on railways and canals has ordered a favorable report on a bill providing for the construc ton by the United States of a ship canal around Niagara Falls. A million dollars is appropriated to begin work under the direction of the secretary of war, the total cost to be 23,OOO,OOO. It is to be 23 miles long. It is urged as a war measure, the only means of getting around the falls now being the Welland canal, which would be closed against the United States in case of war. It is to follow the lines already surveyed.

Interesting DeCiSiOn.

Washington. Ind, April 11.-A case was decided here which prac- tically declares slave marriages H. legal. In the sos Andrew Thomas, a Georgia slave, married another slave, according to negro rites. Three children were born. Later Thomas escaped, settled in Daviess county, Indiana, became prosper our and married again. After the war Mrs. Thomas No. 1 hunted him up.

The suit was decided against her, the court holding the slave mar riage illegal. The case will go to the supreme court.

What Will Prevent Irrigation.

Washington, April O,-The prospects for any appropriations for irrigation are growing less each day. The fight is now against Ma jor Powell, who has had charge of irrigation matters, and who has en- genderd the ils-wiIl of Senator Plumb, of Kansas. They are at loggerheads, and Mir. Plumb will use every endeavor to prevent the passage of any irrigation scheme.
