The Biz RnrknYe.

The Buckeye Canal Company met here this morning, with only one member absent. Among the delega- tion were Col D. s. White, Dr. South, Newt Clanton, and W E. Hurley. They decided to extend the limit with in which the new Buckeye Irrigation Company might complete their pro- posed Improvements to December 3l. lS9O. This action practically insures the commencement of work very shortly. The plan is to build a canal. 5O feet wide on the bottom, from the Gila river. at the Agua Fria's mouth, to the Hassayampa, some 45 miles. Thereby 100000 acres or more will be reclaimed. The estimated cost is $6oO,OOO. The new company includes Judge Wm. Barnes, of Albany, presi- dent; MT. Fowler, of the Equitable Mortgage Go. N. Y; MT. Churchill, Kansas City Investment Co.,, and other strong capitalists. They have been telegraphed to meet here on the 25th and complete details preparatory to commencement of active operations, Col. White is the new company's local manager-Phenix Herald.

4 Scotch Colony.

It was stated recently on good author ity that the townsite located on the So- nora line, about fifteen miles from Bis bee, would soon materialize into living, acting, throbbing town of about I5o families. The colony will be brought out from Scotland by the Copper com pany. It is sad the railroad is to be built from Bisbee into the Sonora coal fields, and it will pass through this town site. The company have already sent the tools and machinery for the sinking of artesian wells, and as the location is in the Sulphur Spring valley there is more than an even chance that water will be struck. Professor Douglass and his son are now at Bisbee, and the latter will have the management of the new
 ownsite. This is certainly good news, as the Scotch, as people, are of all oth- CTS the most desirable as citizens. They will engage principally in the business of agriculture, and Cochise county will have cause to rejoice Star.

Answers to Correspondents.

INQUIRER. l. The Montana Lottery was first authorized by the Legislature August, 1887, and has been doing busi- ness ever since. 2. The CAPITAL PRIZES ARE $15,OO0, $1O,OOO, AND 5000 each, to be drawn January Is. 1890, and monthly thereafter. 3. You should be able to get Montana State Lottery Tickets ($1.00 each) from any lottery dealer. Ask for them, or ad- dress the company's manager, J. J. Jacobs, Butte, Montana.
 WILL WINNIE. l. The Montana State Lottery always draws in public, and committee is selected from the audience to supervise the drawings. 2. No, a lottery could not be drawn in public and be conducted unfairly or impartially. 3. There is no question about its fairness. 4. The Lottery has been running for nearly three years, and has paid ALL ITS PRIZES IN FULL, so 1t is as worthy of confidence and as "famed for integrity" as any other lottery. 5. The Capital Prize is $l5,OOO, the smallest $7.50; send money to J. J. Jacobs, Butte, Mon tana.

Real Dragons.

Prof. o. c Marsh read an essay be- fore the Academy of Sciences describ- ing monstrous dragons skull, six feet long, that was found in the Rocky Mountains, about two feet having been broken off. Several others have been found in the same range. The skull had horns on it's head, sharp points at the base of the brain, and it terminated in powerful beak with a single horn above. The animal was the most powerful and dangerous known to modern science.

THE curtain has dropped on the first act in the Ritter trials, and both MT. Ritter and MT. Taylor have been acquitted, on the first indictment, ol any criminal act. Their trials on the other indictments was continued over to the May term. Although District Attorney Stilwell did his whole duty in the matter, the verdict of the jury voices the sentiment of large portion of the community that these men are not criminally guilty. The result of these trials does not relieve the bondsmen nor give them any right to recover what they have already paid in. The trial of Ludlow was continued over to the May term, and considering the re- suit of the other two trials he was re- leased on his own recogniZance.

would be to draw to this country the immense trade of the Spanish Ameri- can republics and a result would be the accumulation in this country of the surplus silver of those countries. To provide for this surplus our gov ernment should be prepared to store the same and issue silver certificates. for its full par value.
 The ultimate effect would be to cause scarcity of silver in the mar kets of the world thereby compelling Europe, and England in particular, to buy their breadstuf, cotton, etc, on a gold basis instead of paying for it in silver which they have depreciated for that purpose.
 And finally, by the favor of inter national pressure upon England and Germany caused by the loss of export trade to the people of those countries q general remonetization of silver would become necessary and all the na ions of the earth would be obliged to acknowledge silver as the peer of gold.
 Then, when this point is reached our treasure vaults may be opened and our "American International Dollar will become the unit of value through out the civilized world.
 To those who dispute these predic- tions l would say look at the great trusts in oil, sugar and other commo- dities the prices of which are fixed by the great combinations controlling them and tell me why the united Americas cannot fix the price of an article as necessary to the worlds wei fare as are meat and bread to the in- dividual man.
 Now is the time to agitate this ques- tion while the Pan-American congress now in session can give it their atten- ton.
 All t requires is little faith and a little nerve such as John Sherman showed when he resumed specie pay ment The doubtful and the timid cried bankruptcy and predicted ruin, but the old ship of state rode proudly through the storm and men wondered at their fears when they saw how easily it was done,
 bespeak for this question as I have presented 1t your earnest and careful attention, for I firmly believe the plan Outlinedis the true and natural solution of not only the silver question, bat of the manufacturing and agricultural problems, the shipping and tariff pro- blems, and in short all that is at tempted to accomplish by tariff re- form, subsidy to steamship lines and labor reforms.
 Certainly nothing could more firmly cement the Americas than this com munity of interests, in the vital staple of our products"

JUDGE SLOAN received a telegral

JUDGE SLOAN received telegram yesterday morning conveying the pleasing information that his nomina- tion had been confirmed by the Sen ate. This is just rebuke to the small coterie of sore-headed politicians who have made such vicious and un- called for fight against him. It is es- pecially gratifying to Judge Sloan's many warm friends. By his codfrma- tion Arizona gains an upright judge, one who cannot be controlled by any ring or clique and who will impar- tially and honestly administer the law, more than which no one can ask.

The Indians of Florence occasion. ally bring in an unusually handsome and peculiar specimen of cactus, which they obtain only by chance from the most secluded and out-of-the- way places. It is of the magnificent blossoming Cereus vari ety, resembling the famous night-blooming Cereus. The root is one great bulb that looks like monstrOus turnip. and is the reservoir and stOrehouse of the plant during the dry season. A long, grace ful, four-sided stalk grows up and be- comes gradually curved and curled, reminding one Of some beautiful ser pent. It is much admired and sought after by those who love the ornaments of nature; and on the other hand, by the Indians it is highly esteemed for it's medicinal properties. The needles appear as merely little rough projec- tions not at all formidable or unpleas- ant.-Florence Moral and Scientific Companion.

determined not to obey the law and that he should not have the contract. When he came to file his bond, which was in the sum required and with un- exceptional sureties, the Board inn posed such unreasonable conditions and that were not required by law, that in disgust the successful bidder refused to have anything further to do with the matter. But the Board car ried their point. They have broken two laws, have kept favorite in posi- tion, purposely neglected an oppor- tunity to largely reduce the expenses of the hospital and keep Chinaman in work, when the law expressly pro- hibits the employment of aliens in any public capacity. Of one physi- clan heavy bonds were required for the safe keeping of the county property, hut of the other none is required, and if any of the fittings of the hospital should disappear the county would have no redress; and the hospital is being conducted under the expensive system heretofore in vogue, in defiance of plain law. Another instance of favoritism was in the case of allowing mileage to two people who were in at tendance on the court. One gentle man living in the Whetstones, whose postoffice address is Benson, put in his bill for mileage from the latter place, where he happened to be when the summons reached him. The Board cut down his bill, and when remon- strated with and it was shown that the bill was reasonable, refused to allow it. The other gentleman lives at Fort Bowie. For convenience sake he chose a route to the county seat that caused him to travel 102 miles instead of 54, the published official distance to Fort Bowie. The gentleman from Fort Bowie put in his bill for 1O2 miles, and when the Board proposed to cut his bill down he objected, whereupon they paid him the full amount claimed. What caused the difference in the treatment of these two men? Was it because the latter is a man of wide reputation and considerable influence? Do these two actions stamp the Board as impartial administrators of county affairs and enthusiastic advocates of economy?
 Sixth-In conclusion, the EPITAPH charges that in one instance at least the Board conducts its business in a very loose manner, does not hold con tractors to the performance of their contracts and that the published pro- ceedings and minute book are not truthful record of what occurs in the Supervisors room.
 All the above statements and charges the EPITAPH is prepared to sub stantiate. This article has not been written because of any personal i'll will against any member of the Board of Supervisors, but to show to the people that the spacious plea of economy in the management of county affairs is not true, that large sums of money raised by taxation have been wasted or otherwise used, that by causing false impressions to obtain an effort is being made to hoodwink the public and also that they may take measures to remedy the evil at the polls next fall.

Found After Many Years.

The Philadelphia daily Press of
December 10, contained an article
dated ut Youngstown, Ohio, which
stated that Sarah Jane Gilbert, af-
ter period of forty years, had just
discovered the whereabouts of her
mother, brother, sisters, and other
relatives.
From her brother, jacob Gilbert,
who resides i'll this place, we have
learned the following facts: The
father, Jacob Gilbert, lived in Mid
dlecreek township, this county, near
Ziebers', where he died in October
1852, leaving widow (who is still
alive and resides at Northumberland
Pa,) and nine children in destitute
circumstances. The children were
all put out one after another among
kind neighbors and acquaintances.
Sarah Jane, at the age of five years,
was adopted by II Mr.. John Matthias,
who then resided III Penn township,
this county. She took their name,
and they some afterward :
moved to the state of Indiana, where
they resided for some time and
where Mr.. Matthias died. His wild
dow and the adopted child then
moved to Youngstown, o., where
the widow also died some time in
1868. After the death of Mrs. Ma
thias, Sarah married Mr.. Krcich-
baum, and has II family of nine chill
drcn.
Several months ago, one of her
sons, young man of some twenty
years, had occasion to go to Indiana,
and while there fortunately made
the acquaintance of II Mr.. Mengis, II
former resident of this county and
who was an acquaintance of
the Gilbert and Matthias families
Mr.. Mongis gave him the story Of
his mothers adoption, her real
name, and the address of some of
her rlatiyes in Snyder county. The
mother wrote promptly, aud the let
ter was handed to her brother at
this place, who ut once informed her
of the whereabouts OF her mother,
and her other brothers and sisters.
Her oldest brother, Daniel, short
ly after the war made several unsuc-
cessful attempts to find her, aud ad-
yertiscmcnts were also inserted in
some of the most widely circulated
newspapers of the West, but all Of
no avail.
Mrs. Krcichbaum is expected east
| in the near future
