marched direct to the scene of their

other hand voted solid throughout the

which their loyal Efforts have been

cut down the customary republican

like the Second, has always been
strongly republican and they snatched

west.

Prospector Ben Davis who has
 been prospecting in the Sierras, in Sonora for several months past, writes to the Fl Paso Bullion, and among other thing says:-
 Il ran over the Yaqui coal field while in that section and though I am not coal miner, know enough about the black diamonds to say that enc day these large seams of anthracite, semi anthracite and bituminOus coals, will add millions 10 the wealth of Mexico. In the foothills of the range I found lead croppings that look just as promis- ing, as did the lead claims in the MagdaIenas in '79 and 80. Iron and good iron lies there too, as well as an abundance of manganese. In any wanderings of six months, I also saw plenty of copper, native blsmuth, antimony, fire clay, native sulphur, and no end of fine silver shoWings, such as would make your head dizzy. But you know I am after none of these. It is gold, the the royal yellow stuff that I am af- ter and l believe that I have got it. l wouldn't touch mine of native silver or chloride or sulphide nor the biggest gold quartz vein in the world. But it is good placer ground that for twenty years I have been looking for. That is the only poor mans mine and l have got is. sure. 1 took out enough of the yellow metal to pay all of my expenses for the past SIX months and have laid aside very fair sum to represent my outlay of time and money for the period.

Life Saved By GhOulS.

St. Louis March 3.-The local press is puzzled over the case of John J. O'Connor, which is certain ly most remarkable one.
 It was claimed that he had died and that his body had been taken to the Morgue, where 1t was identi- fled by his wife, who had him bu- ried in Calvary Cemetery. A few days later it was claimed that O'Connor was alive; that his wife had been mistaken, and that the man who was taken to the grave was pot her husband.
 It now transpires that there is every reason to believe that O'Con- nor was not buried by proxy, but in his own proper person, some time between the night of Monday February 10th, and the afternoon of Wednesday.
 O'Connor IS said to have been seen Saturday night, and stated most emphatically that the grave in the cemetery is empty, and he exhibited a cut which had been made halfway across the abdo- men.
 He is of the opinion that he was really buried, and that his body was taken up and conveyed to a dissecting-room while in a state of suspended animation, and that when the incision was made it caused a flow 0G blood which re- stored him to- consciousness. He states that he went to a lodging house on Monday evening, and that he knew nothing more until We'd nesday night, when he found hlm- self seated on the Courthouse steps in a dazed condition, weak and sick

No Need of q Land Court.

Congress would do good thing for this country if it would stop and inquire into the precedents of the people who are advising and pushing the bill to establish a Court of Land Claims. Is it the settlers, the men who reclaim lands and develop the agricultural re- sources of the country? Not by a long shot. It Is the land thieves j; they who would rob the govern ment and the settler of their lands :; it is the hired and paid attorneys of those land thieves who are howl ing for a Court of Land Claims There appears to be some of those attorneys here in Arizona and 1t is well for our people to note who they are that would thus betray the homes and interests of the communities who support them, who make 1t possible tor them to exist
