sI AM HERE"
The Peculiar Kind of Parsons They Have
 in New Mexico.
Lordsburg Liberal.

A little incident happened at the late meeting of the Presbyterian preachers in Silver City, which seems tO Lave been overlooked by the ever-vigi..nt newspa- per men of that town. At the first day s session. the secretar " = who had just been sent from New York by the Mission ary Society to check up the local author ities and see If there were as many preachers here as were drawing rations and supplies-was calling the roll; just after he had gotfairly started he was surprised by the words T am here," and looked up to see who was interrupting him, and saw strldlng down the aisle a tall, strongly built man, full bearded, and long hair, dressed in a flannel shirt and corduroy pants stuck in heavy boots, to which were attached aJlngling pair of spurs, around his waist belt full ofcartidges and by his side an ivory handled six-shooter. the whole outfit being covered by an enor
 nous wide brimmed hat Behind him stalked a swarthy Mexican, encased Tn a sarape and carrying a Winchester rifle. ! To say that the New York secretary was startled would be to put 1t mildly. Wis ions of the much talked of cowboys. road agents and train robbers tloated through his mind and he started for the nearest window when he was stopped by a domi- nie sitting by his side, who said: MT. Secretary, let me introduce to you the Rev. Hugh J. Furneaux and Rev. Pablo 1 Gonzalez, who have rode s:Xty-tive miles ! through Apache country to attend this meeting, The secretary gradually got l his breath, but did not get his hair to lie ] close to his head until the two reverend
 gentlemen had gone to the express office ] got their preacher regim entals and ap,
 peared in them, The secretary reported
 to the New York office that he found
 all the preachers the ration list called fol
 and saw more than he expected.

Mining Intelligence.
Prescott Jourual-Miuer,


 J. Q. Stephens has recently let con- tract on his Gladstone mine in the Eure- ka district The claim is on the same ledge as the Hillside, lying between that property and the Parnell claim. owned by the Dillon brothers. The Gladstone is looking well, there being a fine show ing of ore.
 Dillon brothers have another fve-ton lot of ore on the way to the sampling works from the Parnell mine. The ore is all very high grade.
 Shipments from the Hillside this year have only aggregated so tons. owing to the difficulty in securing freight teams to transport it to the railroad 4 con- tract for hauling 200 tons was let sorne time since, but only 80 tons were deliver ed, on account of bad roads, when the teams were pulled off The mine, how ever still maintains its reputation fol producing good ore. Only about eigh or ten men are at work at present al working by contract.

The California Citrus Fair
s.P Bulletin

If stenographer could manage to get behind screen to- day in the office of the State Agricultural Society at Sacramento what very interesting and alIuring des- criptions of climatic salubrity and soil fertility he could hear and take note of. Delegated citizens from various orange producing sections of the State are to meet there and arrange with the directors as to where the State Citrus Fairs are to be held this season. The representatives from orange groves will expatiate and ex- pound, and the directors will decide It is task worthy of Speaker Reed that President Green of the society will have to perform in guiding the directors and delegates to a peaceful and satisfactory choice of locations for the two Fairs. What will happen if al OroYille man asserts that his oranges are more highly tinged with golden than are those of his Riverside neighbor, riff Duarte in the dis cussion recklessly throws a gauntlet at PenryD, is difficult to predict. The pub lie will have to place largely their depen- dence on Secretary Edwin Smith to tell all about the proceedings. However it may result, Californians and the visitors who may be here during the next four months, may rest assured of two credit able displays of citrus products. Oranges are ripening early and all signs are for large crop Of excellent quality. The legislative enactment provides for two Fairs yearly, one within the Sixth Con- gressional district and one without it's boundaries. Last season Los Angeles and Oroville respectively had the shows This season Marysville will probably have the earlier exhibition in January and Los Angeles one in March At the meeting to-day, San Francisco will doubt less ba suggested for one Fair, instead O Marysyille, but citizens of the latter place who want the show very much. vii doubtless get what they ask. Against
 Los Angeles the claims of Riverside anC San Diego will be urged in the contest
 but the southern metropolis is under stood to be leading in the pools.

Apache's Wealth.
St. Johns Herald.

It is not generally known that Apache is the wealthiest county in the Territory, based upon the number Of registered vet CTS. The number of registered voters in the county is 1134. and the assessed valua- tion $3,710,554, being an average of $3,- 272to each voter. The average represent ed by each registered voter in Pima coun- ty is S2,400. Maricopa S2,2S3, Cochise ST. 500 and Yavapai only $1,665, and the average for the Territory is S2, ,045, Apache. therefore, stands first in wealth per cap ita of registered voters, and, consequent ly, pays more taxes into the Territorial treasury, according to our numbers, than any other county in Arizona. This is a very good showing for our county, and should be encouraging to our citizens.
 While our population has increased but little in the past four years, the as sessment rolls show that the valuation of onr taxable property has increased near ly one million dollars. This shows con- dition of financial prosperity tbat We be- lieye to be unequaled in the history of the Territory.

 Hints on OIiye-oil Making
S F Rnlletin


 As this is the season for picking and crushing olives, the hints given are time, ly. They are chiefly iron. Italian author ities. It is noted that the prevalent be- lief that olives yield more oil when har- vested late is one of those errors which it is absolutely necessary to correct. Above all late gathered olives give all oil of poor quality. This fact was noted even by Columells, who despite his opinion that very ripe olives yield more oil, could not but help acknowledge that its quality was impaired. Indeed he says on the subject. "The riper the fruit, the harsher and less agreeable the juice. " Beside, by remaining long time on the tree the olives weaken the plant very much and hinder the formation and growth of new buds. consequently the next crop is always hght Also, the long CT the fruits are left on the tree the more are eaten by the hirde, which are fond Of them. The olive moreover, are then ' subject to rough weather and frost, and large quantities are carried away by the ' rains. while the oil obtained from the re- mainder Is less abundant and of lower ! grade.
 ! The best and most commendable way i to gather the olives Is to do t hy hand since thus are avoided the evils produc- ed by beating down the fruit or by its natural fall When the olives are picked by hand, the tree is not injured in any part; the shoots destined to bear fruit are not broken or bruised; the olives can ! be taken off the plant in due season, and i hance not only is the future production not eurtailed, bat healthier, and nicer fruits are obtained, and in greater quan, tity, thus producing more and better quality of oil. In Tuscany, the proper time for harvesting having arrived the tree is surrounded with large pieces oi canvas, held rather tight. The pickers rub by hand the small branches loaded with olives, and let the fruit fall upor the canvas. As soon as the stretched cloth is sufficiently covered, the ends art brought together and the olives dumped into baskets close by, which are then car ried to the oil factory.

RAISING HOGS.
Money in the Business, and Small Out
 lay Required.
Tucson Citizen.

1uNsNh SAt4oOAia
 A business which can bemade lucrative in Arizona is the raising of hogs for market
 The valley of the Santa Cruz is prolific in the production of corn, as the many loads of the article brought to the city for disposition this fall will testify. With al most no care but the planting it will yield 40 or 90 bushels to the acre. Parties en- gagged in the pursuit state that with cul- tivation 100 bushels to the acre is easily produced. The raising of the cereal has been largely engaged in the vicinity of Tucson, MT. Berger, of San Xavier, raising 15,000 bushels this summer, and Mr. Kennedy. north of town also several thousand bushels. Mexicans have also made very good thing of corngrowing. The cereal now brings cent a pound in town, which of itself makes corn raising profitable, but to bring the largest and surest returns it should be turned into pork.
 Pigs can be safely and surely grown on the bottom lands, requiring no feeding whatever, arriving at the age for fattening, strong, and growing, and without a cent of expense for feed.
 To fat pig six months old to bring it 1 to the weight of 200 pounds will require say 800 pounds of ear corn, from four to five pounds per day being ample feed. Ten bushels of corn will therefore fat a pig which will bring at least $10. Corn is worth $1 per hundred pounds, leaving ! net profit on the pork of $7 on each pig. not including the profit on the corn.
 As a substitute for corn sugar beets are a practicable feed, and pigs are now being i purchased for the purpose by Mr. Sanders who is connected with the Mohawk Ranch Co.,, of Mammoth. Beets are also bene ficial crop to the land. counteracting the | alkali in the soil which is so prevalent in Arizona.
 The business is a good and profitable one, and should be extensively followed

Got 'em Again.
Prescott Courier


 Night before last, about II o'clock, as Councilman Cornell wended his way home and was about to pass the vacant lots north of his place, an animal about the size of large bear stepped on the sidewalk short distance ahead of him. Thinking it 2 tFespassiIg heifor, the coun- oilnap gave city pound whoop. when the animal fled up the sidewalk, which shook under its weight, while, instead of the hoof beats of the supposed heifer. the un- mistakble scraping chatter of heavy claws could be distinctly heard. MT. Councils two dogs, ever ready to vociferously bark at any ordinary animal fled in silence, their place of hiding. The councilman is at loss to know what description of beast it was, but thinks it might have been stray bear that had lost his reck- oning.

Afte r the "Nigger Ben" Gold.
Mohaye Miner


 Ed Sehieffelin the discoyerer of the Tombstone district, arrived last Satur- day with a prospector's outfit consisting of spring wagon, four head of mnlas. tent. assay material and other parapher- nalia of the well equipped prospector and left Monday for Santa Maria country in this county, with the intention of find ing the gold which Is thought to have been found in 1863 by "Nigger Ben" and which is reported richer than the gold de- posits found on Antelope mountain, which in 1863 yielded $200,000 when worked by has the right direction for finding the ex act locality of the traditional gold mine and was accompanied by one man a na tive of Alaska, and whom he brought with him on his return from a prospect ing tour to Alaska, several years ago.
 The legend of the ''Nigger Ren' is tolt as follows by old prospectors;
 Nigger Ben came from the south with Major Peoples in the early 60ties enC while at the Antelope, Ben became int mate with the Mohaye Apaches and wor their confidence, and they offered to show him where heaps of gold could be found
 At three different times and by as manl ulllertHI ldTlleS lie WIS tdheu DN lu0 LII dians, each time by devious routes, to tht same spring of water, at which lived tht old chief Waha- Yuma But the Indians could not overcome their superstition against showing white man gold, and i had its effect against the negro. Although the guides, as in all such cases, waved their hand and with frantic gesture cried ''here, heap gold and left the col ored man to search as best he could, bu with no success.
 Afterwards Maj Peoples prospectet the country thoroughly, hut did no find the fabled gold.
 Since then hundreds of prospectors who have taken stock in the story, hay searched that country for the lost Nigge Ben gold. but all have failed to locate tn exact spot. Prospectors all unite in say ing that there is god somewhere in tn mountains near there or the placer fields which are found belcw, would not exist
 It is hoped that MT. Sehieffelin will b successful in locating the lost ''Nigge Ben" gold.

Important Probability.
Tombstone Fnitarh

The Old Guard affairs are taking shape ip way that means sorne good for Tomb stone, and it is almost certainty that start will be made in few days. The report of the expert. MT. Fowler, is said to be favorable, and $75,000 stands ready to be paid upon his report It has also been ascertained that the Bob Ingersol and Herschell will be sold to the new syndicate and worked through the Old Guard shafts. The Old Guard has been worked in a very coarse way, the ore gouged, and no system followed under ground. With the new management a thorough and rapid exploration of the ground will be made before results from the mill will be looked for. It is predict ed that almost any day will see a scene of activity begun at the Old Guard.

EAVES'S REJECTION,

After THE SENTINEL's forms closed
last Thursday the news reached Win
ston that the nomination of J.B
Eaves as collector of internal revenue
of this district had been rejected. The
Administration was between the devil
and the deep blue sea. If it confirmed
Eaves, it made an enemy of Mott. fit
failed to confirm him, then Eaves and
his friends would fight the Admins
tration. AS the "Iron Duke" and his
friends. were more to be feared than
liavea the latter's scalp came off.
1t would have been an injustice if
Judas Iscariot had been deprived of
his thirty sheckels of silver for which
he stopped to betray his Christ. A
comparison with the case of caves
may not be farfetched. It is shame
that, after. he did all the dirty work
fo' the Republican party in the last
campaign, he should be deprived of
even the paltry reward which he
claimed for his services.
Bad principles in politics, as we'll
Is in business, usually fail.
