TIE agreed case submitted to Judge | Kibbey to determine which of the two claimants to the position is de facto Attorney General, was decided in favor of Clark Churchill and immediately appealed to the Supreme court for final adjudication. The statement published in!the. .Phenix Herald reveals commission issued to Churchill on October 3d, 1889, and we must there fore infer that it was given upon that date to cover some fatal defect in the former commission of April Sth, 1889, at the time Governor Wolfley made all his territorial appointments The issuing of this subsequent appoint ment is virtual confession of the ilegality of the one made on April Sth, and as the circumstances are identical in all essential respects with those of the other official appointments, the conclusion is irresistible that the gov ernor has knowingly maintained and recognized an illegal set of territorial officials. There is no longer any mys' tery in the tactics of Governor Wol6ey
 He started out on a tangent which the
 courts could not approve and he has
 carried his cause by misrepresentation
 to the national congress instead of ac knowledging his errors in a manly way
 and rectifying them. He staked tho whole public interests against a justi
 fication of his illegal acts and rather
 than acknowledge his error he would
 bring the entire territory to ruin. II our opinion it is the highest testimon. of mans upright character and hon esty of purpose to acknowledge a mis , take, and to repair the wrong it ha l occasioned, when convinced of hi error, and it is equally strong evidenc' 3 of his utter depravity to refrain iron so doing.

A Bad Showing. Ynma Timns.1

Honest debts should be honestly liquidated. Generally speaking, non payment of just claims is discredit- able, and yet that is exactly what the Territory of Arizona is doing, if the effects upon innocent citizens of this town can be taken as criterion.
 For nine long months contractors have not received payment for neces- saries furnished the Penitentiary. Complying fairly with their written agreements, they fulfilled every con- dition to the letter by furnishing food, bedding, fuel and other supplies, in conformity with every stipulation i'm ! pUseu, anu TOT wnIcn their bonds are responsible. The Territory has not completed its portion of the contract. Warrants, of course, are issued, signed by Messrs. Wolfiey and Hughes, and further indorsed by Treasurer Smith as unpaid for want of funds," but unfortunately, the paper is not negoti- able at the banks unless ruinous dis counts are allowed, and then only in affairs applies also to the salaries oi employees, who, in turn, find difficulty in meeting current expenses.
 Itis undeniable that the town suffers severely through no fault of it's own There is hardly business man in the place who does not hold more or less of these warrants. Cash is constantly going out for Prison supplies and none coming in. This can not continue indefinitely. There is limit to fore bearance and the people of Yuma will not much longer suffer the wrong in silence. Were Territorial papers ne gotiable, as in former years, all would be well, but such is not the case Just now they are pigeon-holed in safes-sc far and no further do their present availability extend. The Times is pub lished to fully represent the citizens O this county, ,and it most strenuouslyob Jects to the indignities thus imposed upon them. If the question of settle ment depends upon the identity of the legal auditing and disbursing officers let the matter be brought promptly before the proper courts and, when de cided, let the Territory cover it's just debts, as honest private citizens are expected to do.

NOT ISOLATED CASES


 Toshow that the cures made by Joys Vege table Sarsaparilla are not only; not exceptional cases, but that it helps everybody, we cite few instance where two in the same family took it and were both cured.
 Thomas Stephens. of 16s Sixth St., 8. F., took it for weak stomach and dyspepsia, It entirely cured him. He then gave it to his wife for her sick headaches, since which time she has had no return. toured them botll.
 Mrs. R. L. Wheaton, of 7O4 Post St., S. F, was sufferer from stomach and liver troubles and bihousness. Finding that It relieved her, she gave 1t to a little girl living with her whose af- niction was large open sore which nothing seemed to heal. It also cured the child.
 II. s. Winn, of Geary Court, Geary St, S. F., prominent in the Order of Red Men, was very feeble and greatly reduced. Joys Vegetable Sarsaparina restored his health and accustomed vigor. He thereupon gave it to his wife who was similarly afflicted and had nervous prostra- ton. It had the same happy effect upon her it had upon him. Scores of similar cases could be cited but we have no room for them here

A Rich Discovery.

A most wonderful strike of free milling gold rock has been made at Harqua Hala. The Messrs. Quinns, uncle and nephews, in working on one of their mines after breaking through the lime cap, discovered a massive vein of rich gold ore which they have stripped for distance of thirty feet, the rock showing gold the entire dis tance. The precious metal is thickly disseminated in grains as large as pin heads throughout the entire mass. Its extent is not yet known, as develop ments were yet in progress when our informant left the mines
 This property lies about three fourths of mile in northeasterly direction from the Bonanza" mine on the mountain range opposite It is undoubtedly the largest gold mine discovered for many years in any country. The owners are industrious poor men and deserve their good luck.-Phenix Gazette.

They have started sinking two shafts; enc is down 60 feet and the other 35. At depth of 100 feet cross cuts will be made toward the vein. They will hoist no more ore for six weeks yet.

 The mine IS copper producer. Tn, surface indications are first-class, ant if the ore is forthcoming that is expect ed, it is the intention of the compan, to reduce it to black copper and shi] to Pittsburgh for further reduction Exactly what will be found is as ye unknown, but things seem to indicat that the DuQuesne mining compan have got good thing. Future de velopments will determine the exten to which it will be worked. Should i pan out as hoped, it will be anothe one added to the list of mines fo which Tucson is the point of supply Star.

Furriers say that beaver Is ts A> one of the very fashionable furs s~1r winter. It is a becoming fur and very desirable as trim ming for gowns and wraps.
 Russian models in cloaks are very elegant and will prove favorites, as do all Russian models, for they always possess the effect of grace combined with comfort.
 Very few, if any, of the newer designs in bonnets or hats have any decided novelty in shape. The trimmings alone give an autumn character to the new head gear.
 Pretty soft crepe de chine vests, with a jabot of plating down the front, are just now quite la mode to wear with black cos tunes. They may be found ready made in all colors
 Drop trimmings of all kinds will be worn on wraps and costumes as graceful finish Some of the new modes have metal threads interwoven in the silk, giving a rich and pretty effect.

Mohaye Mining Notes.

A1OIdNe
 James Twiggs & Jack Kelley have contract to sink 40 feet on the Green Linnet ledge, Union Basin.
 There are between 150 and 200 tons of ore awaiting shipment from the various camps. Until the stormy weather subsidies the ore teams will re- main tied up.
 The cross-cut tunnel being driven on the Little Boy mine is yet some dis tance from the ledge, and owing to the nature of the ground slow progress is being made.
 N. c. Amer recently had a shipment of high grade ore from the Silver King mine worked at the sampler. He is opening up fine body of ore on the 450-foot level of the Silver King.
 Martin Jeminez and Juan Garcia have four men to work on the Gold back mine, near Chloride. They are getting some good ore from the main shaft and will continue sinking for the present
 Theodore Myers, lessee at the c. O. D. mine, had between five and six tons of ore worked at the sampler which gave result of 314 ounces silver per ton. His lease has expired, but he will endeavor to obtain another.
 Dan McKinnon and George Roster are working the Altata mine with good results. They have car load of very good ore ready for sacking and ship ping. The ore carries considerable copper, and will be shipped to Argo for treatment.
 W. B. Campbell is working the ore from his gold mine in the Twins Wash, near Cerbat, by arsastra, withsfne re- suits. The ore is very free, while the gold is coarse. The pay streak has grown to width of ten inches, and much of the ore will be shipped.
 A whip has been erected at the main shaft of the Tuckyhoe mine, Chloride. At last accounts they were down 90 feet with ten inches of ore that will average $50 ounces silver and one and half ounces gold per ton The water does not cause any serious inconvenience and will not, probably for the next 100 feet.
 l uC hOW cllellp lllS OuOSCb has collapsed. The shaft had attained 8 depth of 95 feet, but it was sunk 1T a wash carrying much water during rainy weather, and the recent rains soaked through and caused the cave The shaft is worthless, as a new one can be sunk cheaper than to clean out and timber the caved ground.
 Supt. Mackenzie has about twenty five men employed at the Cupel mine and the ore body continues to groy both in quantity and quality. Ther are at present ready for shipmen about twenty-five tons of ore, which vii be shipped as soon as the roads vii permit of hauling. This would be onl, few days if the weather would re main settled.

A BILL has been introduced in Congress to make the anniversary ol General Jackson's birthday national holiday. By all means let it be done and let the precedent be industriously followed until the year contains three hundred and sixty-five days of rest for the overworked civil service. Bos ton will eventually demand John L Sullivan holiday, and General Crool will probably recommend Geronimo holiday especially set apart fol manifestations of sorrow and weep ing.

Auothar Canal.

From Harry Neahr we learn that the construction of new canal has been commenced, short distance above the heading of the Farmers canal near Agua Caliente. Messrs. Dywer, Bingham, Harry and Charles Neahr, and others, have formed an association, similar to that under which the Farmers proved so success ful. The ditch is to be twenty-one miles long and the first six miles is to be completed within three months. Although the heading will be three miles east of the county line, the land to be irrigated is all in Yuma county We hail the new venture with best wishes for a speedy and and lasting prosperity.-Yuma Times.

"Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by lady of this country. Disease fastened it's clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood it's severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent.
