Salt for Aninlsls.
Yuma Sentinel.


 Why do animals need salt? Because animal fat is an epitome of mineral and vegetable matters, and salt is medium between them-a compound of these compounds in certain definite propor- tions, and grass and grain do not supply a sufficient proDosdicf te complete the animal compound and are therefore com plete nutrients. Horses fed on an excess of grain, in disproportions to most fibrous plants. will eat the ground with avidity when they get at 1t, and 1t supplies in a measure a corrector of vegetable acidity. Salt being chloride of sodium. furnish es both chlorine and soda, the latter be- ing neutralizer of excessive acidity. especially derived from grasses. Pamper- ed horses should be provided with the following ball, always within easy reach: First make a strong brine of rock salt with tenth of saltpetre in it; then get a spit of pure clay and half gallon of fresh wood ashes, and of these make mixture, with sufficient water, and roll into ball and dry. Keep this in a till of the manager, clean and always in reach of the pet animal, just as the grass and ground in his native wild. As have said, the horse is an epitome of all he will eat in health, and this Is why they nourish and build up each function.-Ex.

The New York Pasteur Institute.

Dr. Paul Gibier, director of the New York Pasteur Institute, states the results of the preventive inoculations against hydrophobia performed at this institute, since its opening February IS, 1890), as follows:
 Six hundred and ten persons, having been bitten by dogs or cats, came to be treated. As to 480 of these persons it was demonstrated that the animals which attacked them were not mad Conse- quently the patients were sent back after having their wounds attended, during the proper length of time, when it was necessary Four hundred patients of this series were consulted or treated gratis.
 In 130 cases the anti-hydrophobia treat ment was applied, hydrophobia having been demonstrated by veterinary examina- tion of the animals which inflicted bites or by the inoculation in the laboratory, and in many cases by the death of some other persons or animals bitten by the same dogs. All these persons are, to day, enjoying good health. In 80 cases the patients received the treatment free of charge.

How 1t Happened.
obc-De,nocrat


 The democrats have secured the House of Representatives of the Fifty second Congress. Their exact majority could not be told at the time the Globe-Demo crat went to press. It is large enough, however, to give them ready and absolute control of that body. Their preponder- ance will be much greater than that which their opponents could command at the beginning of the present Congress. They will not be subject to the accidents and chances which handicapped the re- publicans through four-ffths of the ses- sion which closed month ago. At all times and under all easily conceivable circumstances the democrats will be able to hold quorum for the transaction of business.
 It is not difficult to to point out the immediate cause for the Republican re- verse. To the federal elections bill and the tariff must the result be chiefly at tributed. An unfortunate mistake was made by the republicans in persisting in their endeavor to pass the former meas ure in the face of the opposition of the leading republicans of the south, for whose imagined benefit the bill was be- ing pushed, and against the protest of the masses of the party in the west. The blunder is patent now to the most pro nounced and persistent champions of the measure, and there is not much hkeh- hood of its enactment in the coming ses- sion.
 It was through the tariff law, however, that most of the damage was inflicted on the republicans. The law, of course, is far from being as bad as the democrats have pretended to believe it to be- A few of it's provisions, though, have afford ed some ground for part of the opposition which the law has called out While no portion of the act offers any justification for the falsehoods which the democratic editors and stump orators have uttered, yet there are schedules ill it which serve to make part of these falsehoods credible. There was no excuse for any increase in duties on any article. Every advance of this sort which was made weakened the party, hampered the labors of its advo- cates and champions, and placed the or ganization on the defensive from the be- ginning of the canvass.

Another Mining Sale on Hand.
Tucson Star.


 The Star had the pleasure of looking at the report and maps of the Young American mines, just completed by Prof. c. T. Gooding, the well known mining expert and metallurgist, and also the corroborating report of the same prop erty by Dr. Peters, one of the best cop per experts in the United States
 This Is tine final report on this valua- ble property and goes to the English market where 1t is already sold to En- glish capital. The report is probably the most exhaustive and complete one ever turned out Tn this county, and the beauty of 1t it is based on facts that are fully proven in every statement. The mechan- ical part of it and the large number of maps and photographs accompanying it are models of fine work and took many days of hard work and patience to ac- complish. This work was done by MT. Gooding and shows how complete and ac- complished he is in his profession.
 It will be remembered that this prop erty IS one like many others in Arizona, condemned because of some previous fail ure, although not by any fault of the mine itself, but through other causes; like the celebrated Silver Bell mines in the same district as the Young America. which were exported by Gooding and placed by his associates in the English market and sold, and since then have be- come daily more valuable.
 It takes man of great courage to un- dertake to place property that has be- come a failure, at some time in Arizona; but Gooding is just the man for that work, and if we had more men of the Gooding and Peters stamp, Arizona mines would not go begging,
 There are number of other old aban- doned and condemned mines in Pima county that MT. Gooding is going to take hold of, and if he does do so the Star predicts success.

Olive Culture.
Cnrr. Elsinore. Cal.. Press

Corr. Elsinore, Cal, Press.
 While the olive is by no means new thing in southern California, the great value of the fruit is not generally known. The ripe olive properly picked, will take the place of meat with the laboring man, while the oil is extremely valuable in cookery, medicine. surgery and the man. ufacture of broadcloth. It is said that one establishment alone in Philadelphia uses the product Of one thousand acres The price of olive oil Is so high that it is so badly adulteruted as to make 1t almost impossible to get pure article in the general market. The demand for olive oil in our own country is unlimited, and as the value is great for small bulk, the cost of transportation would be light compared with that of other product.
 Orchards in California twelve years old have been known to yield Sl000 to the acre. It is a tree that will thrive in dry soil pre- ferring the well drained foothill land. The most successful variety so far has been the Mission, but new varieties are known to fruit earlier two or three years) in our interior valleys The writer would, how ever, advise the planting of any large acre age to the Mission as the safest thing to do. When any of the new varieties prove their value in any particular locality, it will prove an easy thing to bud or graft on to the stock of the growing tree thus saving much valuable time. The growing of olives is to-day in much the same condition as the growing of oranges was twenty five years ago, In the writer's opinion the Mission olive can be compared to the sweet seeding it does not beal early, but makes large tree, and when ten or to fifteen years old will yield mon ster crops of most valuable fruit.
 The best season for planting is in Janu ary and the early part of February. The olive is then having a short season of rest Late spring planting is not advisable even in irrigated districts.
 Plant olives for ornament, plant olive for food, plant olives for profit, is the earn est advice of F. T. l..

 Flows Better than Booms.

This lesson is taught by T. $. Van Dyke, the brilliant San Diego writer on California in his last work entitled Mil lionaires of a Day" Reviewing it, the New York Engineering and Mining Jour nal thus describes the recent disastrous building-lot craze in southern California: |:
 The great boom which ragged in south ern California in 1886 and 1887 was like nothing else ln history, except, possibly, the 'tulipomonia" which ragged in Holland just 250 years before. Thousands of lots on paper, townsites which were bought for sSlU to $50 an acre, and without water for irrigation were not worth half these figures, were sold in lots at from $1 900 to $10,O00 an acre. This was done in dog ems of places and continued for many months, with the buyers daily becoming more ravenous. At many sale of the merest trash, buyers stood in line all night, and $50 and $100 were paid for places in the line i'll the morning MT. Van Dyke has described this boom and its collapse in most fascinating style. ii the incidents he relates were printed in a novel they would be criticised as unnatur- al and improbable, but he assures us that instead Of eXaggerating the occurrences he has suppressed many of them. He describes briefly the condition of the southern countries in 1875, when 1t was next to impossible for man to get 6 living out Of the soil, then the wonderful change which had taken place ten years later, when irrigation had turned the des ert into garden, rich with fruits and flowers and grass, producing more actua profit to the acre than any other equal area in the United States. Then the boom came, when the raising of grair and fruit was actually neglected on ac count of the craze to buy town lots ani to build magnificent hotels and residen ces upon them. Then the collapse came of course, but most wonderful to relate 1t brought no great business crash; not bank nor prominent mercantile estab lishment failed.
 The people then returned to cultiya ton Half million more acres than has ever felt the blow were upturned an, planted and by the time the harvest o 1889 came the land was overAowing wit a surplus.

Big Game.

A hunting party, consisting of Messrs. F. T. Berry, J. H. Barraclough, A. E. Crosby and 0. w. Strong. of Albuquer- que, Jay Scott. G. w. Wilson. Frank Wilson, j.. Hughes and F. Ladlock, of Fresno. Gal, and Matt Cullen, of Win slow, Ariz., made a trip to Bill Williams mountains, south of Williams station, on the Atlantic < Pacific railroad, last week, and had jolly time and bagged large amount of game. Leaving Winslow on the 27th of October and returning Novem- Der 1st, they brought in as trophies of their skill 10 deer, one antelope, two mountain lions, one catamount, one tur- key and one silver gray fox. They would have remained longer but for an accident to the wet grocery department of the ex- petition. On returning to camp one evening they found the cowboy cook had transformed 1t into an inebriate asylum and he the chief patient and was anus ing himself by bowling and begging away at every thing in sight with his Winches- ter. He was disarmed and locked in a shanty but too late to save the snake medicine. The medicine department was necessity not to be dispensed with, and the party gave away the loaf of bread they had taken along and returned to the station. They are to be congratulated on the number of scalps taken, and con doled with for the fatal catastrophe in the medical department Afidavits are ready regarding the game brought in, if required. -Alburquerque Democrat.

Let Her Follow Her Bent.

The end of woman is to marry and raise up family. She starts out in this direction when she carries doll in child hood. Your girl who leaves home and goes out for herself does so because she has failed to find the man she wants to marry. By and by she does find him, and when she does she drops everything and goes with him. She stops short in her music, her acting, her art literature, or whatever it is, because after all, her instinct tells her to marry, and she follows her instinct instead of her reason. A man can marry and go ahead in the particular pursuits or profession he has chosen, but the woman stops and subjects everything to the one duty of wifehood. That is the reason women do not succeed as men. They fall short.
 Grant all this for the sake of argument. Admit that it Is the general mission of woman to marry and raise up family. But am now writing about the excep- tions. There are exceptions to all classes all rules, all theolies and all philosophies Most women do marry young, and that is as far as most of them want to go. They are fitted for the sort of life, and have no desire TOT fitness for another. But are you going to make one kind of a girl do this when 1t is a strait t-jacket and an abomination to her? In other words, is she to marry simply for the sake of marry ing, settle down" simply for the sake of settling down? Why not allow her to follow her natural bent as well as the young man? True, she may, as my ob- jector says, find some man while herself following a successful career whom she will love and whom she will marry, thus cutting short work that might other wise have been rounded out and made complete. True, women are not as com pletely successful.
 But the point wish to make clear and emphatic is that society and the woman herself and the man she marries, and all directly or remotely concerned, are the better for her having done even something for herself, however little. repeat that the self-reliant woman Is eivilizer. The busy world IS improved by her having been participator therein. Her words are gentle and kind, and her presence is a restraint to the headlong impetuosity oi men. Even though she may not remain long with us single, let LIS be thankful that she has come at all If she falls il
 love and marries even at the expense o
 an independent career, her life after al
 is not in vain. Her own views have beer
 broadened, her sympathies have beer
 deepened, her capacity for enjoymen
 made greater and her scope for useful
 ness wit eL I say again and again
 let the ambitious girl see what she can d for herself. Woman's Journal.

From Mammoth.
Tucson Star.


 A, P. Crans.one, an observing man. who has lately taken up his residence in this city, caI1e into town last Wednesday from Mammoth.
 At present that mining camp is boom ing. The mill is running fifty stamps and reduces one hundred tons per day of A hours. and employ about eighty hands in all and has every capacity needed. The people there are decidedly in favor of a road over 'the mesa," between Ora cle and Mammoth and thence to this city The present road is almost i'm passible on account of heavy sands. and is dangerous in the rainy season on ae- count of the canon through which the road passes, the water often raising six feet in few hours The Mammoth peo. pie have offered to contribute hberally towards the building of a road between this city and Oracle.
 MT. Cranston thinks that the mining prospects in and around Mammoth, in cluding the Bunker district, are good and within short time will prove to >bt one among the best mining. and laFges ore producing sections of Southern Ari Zona.
 The Ray mine near Riverside is at pres ent closed down, but will start up agail within few months.

Away With the Professional Politicians.

The one class which 1t seems to me de sirable to retire permanently and for all time IS the professional politician. He has certainly outlived his usefulness, if he ever had any. which seriously doubt. To the professional politician we are in debted for the worst and most pernicious legislation on our statute books. He has no desire to serve his country and never experienced a single patriotic feel ing in his life He is in politics for what there is in it for him personally and for his friends. On all matters affecting the general welfare of the people and the prosperity of the country he does not cons suit his constituents as to what their wishes in the premises may be; he does not even consult himself, but obeys blind ly, and with fidelity worthy of a better cause, the orders of some party boss who sits behind the screen pulling wires. Such Il spectacle is distressing, and most humil- iating to all lovers of honest and clean government. The American people are long suffering. but believe they have ar rived at point where they are about to deal with the purely professional poll tician as he deserves. His continuation in public is a disgrace to the country Ex-Senator Warren Miller in North American Review for November.

storm at Tombstone.
Prospeetor.

The heavy wind storm which came up this morning, increased into perpetual hurricane which was at its height at noon, Considerable damage was done through out the city, awnings and roofs suffered severely. The awning over the second story of Mining Exchange building was lifted cleared off and landed on the roof of the Prospector office. The awning in front of San Jose House was badly dam aged and many other places must have suffered in other parts of town,

Bets on smith and Oh syney.
Prospeetor.

IUaptNIUIs
 The principle bets upon which money is staked in Tombstone is upon the point of Smith or Cheyney carrying the county, Smith getting 450 majority in the county and Smith getting 1000 majority in the Territory. Some money was staked on 1500 for Smith and some on as high as 5000 majority. Mir. Smith himself looks for 1700 majority, and from indications the figures may reach that. Mir. Cheyney's biggest vote was boiled in mining camps, which are nearly all in, and returns from now on will be in favor of Mir. Smith. It will be a repetition of two years ago, when Mir. Smiths majority at the end of the third day after election was 1500, and after that climbed up to 5000.

After a Mountain Sheep.
Phenix Herald.

Sixty miles northeast of Phenix, in the Reno mountain country, excellent hunt ing is reported. c. B. Clapp, procently returned from short run through that section. He fell in with jolly party of cowboys on their fall round up. Together they managed to have excellent sport with rabbits. quail and small game. They also knocked over deer or two. The best fun was had one afternoon when the whole party chased mountain sheep till darkness stopped further pursuit. Over hills and through narrow gulches the ex- cited horsemen galloped, shouting, shoot ing and making the usually silent noun. tain recesses re-echo with their unrestrain. ed abandon. It was magnificent, ex- hilarating chase.
