About the Proper Thing.

An interview with Mark Smith is published in the New York Herald of a recent date, on the resources of Arizona and it's fitness for state hood. Mr. Smith makes showing that ought to convince congress that we are able to walk alone as a state and that we would be much better off if allowed to manage our own affairs. Notwithstanding the fact that Wyoming and Idaho are making application for admission without the formality of an ena- bling act, the probabilities are that they will be admitted.
 Neither one of these territories have either the wealth or popula- tion of Arizona, and, especially in the case of Wyoming, are not as able to bearthc burden of statehood. The only reason why a constitution al convention was not called and application made for the admission of Arizona, was that some politi- clans thought that it was to their interest to defeat the measure, and in their successful efforts to do so turned the affairs of the territory topsy turvy. Finding that they had done more mischief than they had calculated on, that they had raised the devil that they could not down, the chief of this cabal, Gov. Vol fey, went to Washington, and is trying to remedy the evil by endeav- bring to lobby through congress a bill legalizing all the laws of Arizo- ma, has caused to be introduced two meritorious measures affecting Ari- zOna, hoping by these means to crawl back into public favor, but it is not probable that they will succeed. While the governor is en- gagged in this work, he loses no chance to give ths movement for statehood a quiet stab when op- portunity offers, nullifying all of Mir. Smiths efforts in that direc- ton. Although the Epitaph is opposed to Mr. Smith politically, we sincerely hope that be may suc- ceed in getting an enabling act through congress. It would ad- vance. every interest of the terri tory.-TombstOne Epitaph.

A Famous Tax Case,

A Washington dispatch of the the 12th says: The argument in the case of the State of California vs. the San Pablo and Tutare Railroad, one of the famous railroad tax cases, was to have been heard in the Supreme Court to-day, It did not take place, however.
 When Attorney-General Johnson Of California arose to make a state ment, Chief Justice Fuller inter- rupted him with the remark that inasmuch as a decision had been rendered a few days since by the Supreme Court of California on the very case before the court, argu- meDts would not be heard until the decision was received from the Pa eific Slope After some little talk the hearing of the case was laid over for the term.
 By many it is considered rather singular that the State Supreme Court should withhold it's decision until just before the day on which the same case was to come up be- fore the Federal Supreme Court. It was very evident that Attorney General Johnson was nettled. Not desiring to reflect on the home court in the least he said: is very sim gular that the decision should have come at such a time. If 1t had not been handed down the argument would have been heard to-day and an early decision had. It lays every thing over for a whole term"

SulkiBg Indians.

We are now in possession of what are probably the facts in regard to the refusal of San Carlos Agency Indians to draw rations. February 18th, Mir. Burrows, issue clerk, and MT. Jerry, industrial teacher, visited Charlie Pans camp of Tontos, on the Gila, two miles from the Agen- cy, for the purpose of issuing ra- tion tickets to the Indians. Tick cts good for 14 weeks rations are issued 10 the head of each family, upon which is written the number (adults and children) and sex of members composing it. The off cers noted the fact that the number of Indians present Tn some families did not tally with the number giv- en in as entitled to draw ration, be- ing much fewer, and as has been customary heretofore, Messrs. Bur rows and Jerry demanded that the missing Indians be produced if they were to figure as recipients of Gov ernment pap. This did not suit the Tontos, who became sullen j;
  some of them got their guns, and requested the interpreter to tell Messrs. Burrows and Jerry that they had better return to the Agen- cy, which they did, deeming discre- ton the better part of valor.-Globe Silver Belt.

The Grand Canyon Strikes.

Considerable excitement has been created in this vicinity by the re- ports of numerous big strikes hay ing been made in the Grand Canyon about 70 miles south of this place. Small parties are leaving for the scene of the reported discoveries :; many, apparently, being afraid of being followed, leave during the night.
 The parties who made the first discoveries, Messrs. Ashurst, Mar shall and Morris came to this place and after having assays made, i'm mediately returned to the canyon. Seemingly fabulous reports are in circulation as to the richness of the recent discoveries, but up to this time 1t has been impossible to trace the rumors to any authoritative source. Doubtless before our next issue, more defEate information will be obtained, as many of the parties now out there will be com pelled to come in the next ten days for supplies. Whatever may be the truth regarding the rumored dis coveries, it is highly probable that the present excitement will lead to important finds, as there is, unques- tionably, mineral in that country traversed by the canyon, and min eral bearing leads must, in all prob bability, be exposed in the walls of of the famous gorge.-Champion.

Freedom of Opinion.

The people of Arizona believe in fair play, and will not tolerate any law that deprives a man of his citi- zenship, for any opinions lie may entertain. The Gazette is no wise an exponent of Mormonism any religion that-teaches a plurality of wives is repugnant to our sense of decency and good morals, but we shall always adhere to the doctrine fair play, which gives mankind the right and privilege to believe in any form ofreligion they may deem suit able, and are opposed to any law or man that seeks to compel man
 to conform to any religious or r-polit- ical creed. The right to worship God as the conscience dictates is inborn in the human race, and 1t was on this principle the battles of the revolution were fought and tits on this basis the free flag of this republic guarantees freedom to every man, woman and child under it's ample folds.-Arizona Gazette

Found at Last.

On Saturday morning last large party of prospectors-or rather To- cators, as they seem to know just where they are going and what is in store for Uhem-left Gallup for the Carrizo mountains, about 125 miles northwest of Gallup and p miles south of the San Juan river, in the extreme northwestern part of New Mexico and northeastern Arizona. A second party, equally as strong, left on Monday morning, which. per arrangement, was to join the first party about p miles from the site of operations.
 The parties that left Gallup con- sisted of fifteen men. They were well mounted and equipped, having thirty days ration and 5000 rounds of ammunition, and from the fact that they left here in blinding snow storm it Is reasonable to sup pose that they will either bring back fine specimen of the precious metals or plenty of Navajo scalps.
 This party will be joined by one from Socorro of about the same number, when they will make a forced ride through the heart of the Navajo country to the Carrizo mountains.
 It is dangerous undertaking, but as there are no children among them, we believe they will get through without losing a man, and if they accomplish what they have set out for, this portion of New Mexico will probably soon ex- perience a mining boom such as the Southwest country never dreamed of.-The Elk.

Barren of Results.

Our contemp tells of Wolfley's s victories in Washington. We will prophecy that not one of his ob- jectionable bills will ever pass. In fact he has not succeeded in pass ing one single bill, and the best of it is he never will. His funding bill could neither harm nor benefit, as it would be without effect or force. As to his Mormon bill and his scheme to remove officials and re- peal certain chapters of the revised code, not one of these rascally bills will ever pass. Wolfey cannot fool the Congress of the United States. Neither can he hoodwink the people of Arizona into the belief that he was working in the "interest" of Arizona while in Washington Gazette.

Mysterious Dis appearance.

It is now nearly two weeks since Faustin Ortiz disappeared and his friends have about reached the con- clusion that he has been foully dealt with. On Saturday night the 1st inst, about eight o'clock he was passing down San Francisco street with Victor Garcia, when he is said to have been hailed and called into an alley just below Lowitizki's sta ble by Juan Ortiz, justice of the third precinct. That was the last seen of him. Ortiz states that Ee had little talk with him and left him. Since then his family have searched the county for him, send ing letters and telegrams to all parts of the territory. A few days ago it was reported that he had gone to Albuquerque with a woman of dis repute, but telegrams bring the in- formation that the woman disavows all knowledge of his whereabouts, and claims that she has never seen him since his disappearance.
 It is said Ortiz had some difficult ty with parties in town involving the question of politics, and since the most earnest research has fail ed to develop any thing concern ing his whereabouts, a few people believe him to have been murdered. Another singular thing about it is that one Francisco Cienfuegos had been recently talking a great deal, on this subject, when suddenly it turn ed out that his mind was seriously affected. He is now thought to be insane, yet he persists that he and six others were hired to murder Ortiz. It is claimed that Cienfuegos is the victim ofsome powerful drug administered because of the fact that he has been telling entirely too much on this subject,
 Later information is to the effect that Cienfuegos was under the in fuence of drink at the time he made the statement above attributed to him and that his mental condition is much improved. The above re- ports constitute the concensus of street talk, and 1t is but fair to state that quite as many people believe that Ortiz went away ofhis own ae-- cord as take the other view of it. At any rate it seems that the mat ter ought to be sifted by the author ities to the end that the truth shall be known.-New Mexican.

Run to Earth.

Lleutenants Watson and Clarke, who, with troops and scouts, went in pursuit of the five Apache mur- derers of Herbert, the treighter, did Ia good piece of work. After a most persistent and determined chase of nearly 800 miles, the little command, on Friday of last week five days after the murder, overlook the renegades in rough and al- most lmpenetrable locality on the Salt river in Gila county. A fight ensued, during which two of the murderers were killed and the oth- CT three were captured. None of the troops or scouts were injured. The Indians who were killed were buried where they tell, while the captives were taken to Globe and thence to San Carlos. The latter will be turned over to the civil au- thorities at Solomonville for trial as the murder occurred in Graham county. It is pretty safe to predict that the Grahamites will give them full measure of justice in the way of hempen ropes. Lieutenants Clarke, and Watson, with the troops and scouts who accompanied them, are deserving of much praise for the prompt and successful manner which they run to earth these red skinned and red-handed takers of human life-Stockman.

4 BanCh of Cattle.

Most people do not take into com sideration the size of this territory. A great many people and news papers stated last year that the drive out and shipment of steers from New Mexico was about S0,0O0 head, when in fact the number reached 225,000. as stated by this paper in January. The territorial auditor has just issued a statement of property returned for taxes in 1889 which shows that the number of horned cattle returned for taxes last year was ,254 ,649.-Las Vegas Stock Grower,

4 High-Hanged Outrage.

An alarming rumor reached this city yesterday to the effect that 300 men, armed to the teeth and on horseback, had compelled the par ties, cutting ties under the Ro- nero contract, near San Miguel, to destroy all thus far made, amount ing in the neighborhood Of 5000 ties. The cutters were compelled to cut each tie in two, thus destroying them for any purpose other than fire wood. If true, this is a bad piece of business, and the loss will fall very heavily upon the sub-con- tractors, doing MT. Romero very slight injury. AS in all such cases, there are numerous rumors as to the cause of this outlaWry, but no one seems to be able to even sur mise the real reason of the outrage. Some weeks ago report was afoat to the effect that a large meeting had been held at little placitos, in the localities where it was proposed to cut trees, and that demand was made, or was to be made, upon Mr. Romero for royalty of one cent on every tie cut, and in the event of refusal on his part to do so, these people were to take the law into their own hands and intimi- date the choppers and destroy those already made.-Las Vegas Optic.

A WASHINGTON dispatch states that Representative Mansur has drawn up and submitted to the House in behalf of the minority on the Territorial Committee a report which gives cogent reasons why the minority cannot agree with the ma jority in relation to one of the pro- visions of the proposed constitu- ton for Idaho. That provision re- lates 10 the Mormons, and MT. Man sur, in common with others of the committee, insist that while polyg- amy is reprehensible, yet under the laws and constitution man should not be disfranchised before he has been convicted of a crime. It is a strongly-worded report, and impor
 tant decisions and precedents are given to show that the majority are attempting to persecute class of people before proving that they have committed crimes that would take away the right of franchise.

Reports from Lower California bring the news of several murders along the rivers among the Cochise Indians. Old Chief Colorow died three weeks ago, and the new chief, thinking the medicine man guilty af witchcraft had him killed, and thereupon relative killed two of the slayers. Now the chief with the balance of his tribe assert they will kill all the medicine mans relatives. The tribe lives on Mexican territory a short distance below the line. Old Colorow and his Cochise colony are we'll known in this section of Ari- zona.-Prospector.

THE Boston Herald's correspond ent in Mexico, writes that paper i: "It is a remarkable fact that as civ iIization widens here, as railroads, extend themselves in all direction. great deposits of iron and coal are being found. It Is as if Providence had reserved these invaluable prime materials of modern civilization till the period of revolutions should have come to an end. An iron de- posit recently found onthe Acapul- co division of the Inter-oceanic railway is said to be eighty per cent pure metal. Its extent is mar vicious, and the matter is being looked into by capitalists Mexico has all the useful metals-iron, cop per, lead, tin, gold and silver. AL ready We talk here of utilizing the iron of the country for making rails for the new roads, instead of hay ing to rely on English and Belgian rail-makers. A project is now be- ing studied in London for rolling mills and smelling works at Zima- pan iron fields from which iron is being taken now in large quantities and utilized largely for building purposes.

THE President has sent the name of Henry c. Goading to the United States Senate as Chief Justice of this Territory. It was hoped and firmly believed that when Judge Wright was removed, he would be succeeded by Hon Ed Wells, of Prescott, who would have been ac- ceptable to the people of northern Arizona. The appointment of Mr. Goading was a surprise and disap- pointment to the people of Apache county. The choice has been made, however, and we have only heard one sentiment expressed with regard to it, and that is, that Judge Goad- ing may prove to be as honest, i'm partial and fearless as his predeces- SOr.
