He Got His Lion.
Tucson Star


 MT. P. H. Woods went out to Bullock s ranch Saturday and from there took q hunting trip into the mountains Sunday with his shot gun to bring down some small game. He had not been out long when he heard a peculiar noise in the underbrush and after some scouting around a large sized mountain ioness showed up. He had none but small shots in his shells but as soon as his game came in reach he let loose and she took the contents in her body and dashed up the mountain.
 Woods thinking that she had a mate, located himself on rock where he could see over into the cafion, and true enough Tn few moments the lion showed up and monster at that, as large apparently as John Robinson's biggest circus lion, and he came directly to the spot where Woods was secreted and when within a few feet he got the contents of the gun in the region of the heart The lion rolled down the side of the cafion short distance, regained his feet and made his way up an arroyo.
 Woods followed him up and soon came within hearing of the ioness which was bowling frightfully and all of sudden 1t emerged from thicket and dashed at him with eyes glanng and mouth wide open. He emptied the contents of his shot gun into its mouth, which dazed it for a moment. Instantly he ierked out his sheath knife, and as he did so the lioness sprang for him but only to re- ceive the blade of the knife ill its heart and the fierce animal lay dead at MT. Woods feet, as the trophy of his hunt He did not want any more lioness, but made his may back to Bullock's ranch, but not until he had taken the hide of his lion, which is now on exhibition at the Fashion.

From QuiJ0toa.
Tucson Star.


 Michael Dorgan, who has been at the Quijotoa mines for the last ten months, came in to the city last Saturday for a few days. He reports that camp as the liveliest one in Arizona for the size of it. The Bonanza Company are working four mines, "The Weldon" 'Peerless," Peer and "Crocker," each of which has been well prospected and have a large ore body in sight. The mill will be started soon, and will have the largest run since Quijotoa was first discovered. The de- velopment of these four mines is due to the good judgment of the Pickett boys," two brothers, William and Don, the former of whom Is superintendent and the latter foreman.
 The 'Locomotiye' is another mine in that camp that promises we'll MT. Isaac Smith, the Superintendent, intends to employ some men in the near future to further develop this mine
 QullOtoa has population of about fifty white people, one hundred Mexieans, and about five hundred Papagoes, and all subsist mainly from the money paid monthly by the Bonanza Company. The Papagoes have few cattle and the in- come from them helps to support them. The mining IS done principally by white people, while the 'swamping" and shovel ing is done by the Mexieans and Indians 1 A school is maintained at Quijotoa and has about on an average twenty pupils taught by Miss Hizer of this city. There has been plenty of rain this year and cat tie and horses are fat, and looking well. The water for the mines and town is supplied by pump five miles away, and there is an abundance for all purposes. In his opinion, MT. Dorgan says: Quijotoa has the best future of any mining camp in Arizona, and it's permanent prosperity will be established in the near future.

The Demand for Mines.

We believe, says the Eureka Sentinel, there is going to be good demand for good silver mines in the near future. We have advices from New York and Boston which seem to point strongly that way. Eastern capitalist are tired of real estate and real estate booms They are also tired of loaning on farm mortgages. Millions of New England money has been invested in Kansas and other agricul- tural State on real estate securities. On most of this money not a dollar of inter est has been paid in three years The Chicago grain market and the New York cotton and railroad exchange are consid- cred too risky by the general run of con- servative investors. What other field, then, is left except mining? With pru- dence, mining may be as safely followed as any other line of business. It is the most fascinating pursuit in the world. It awakens hopes and possibilities not realized in any other industry under the sun. It is the most independent occupa- ticn on earth. A man with good mine never has to drum for business. It is he who is drummed by the trades-people for his business. Personally we would rather have good mine than any num- Der of ranches in any State in the Union. A mine is clean-cut proposition that yields up the hard cash, without trouble with book accounts, time notes and slow collections. It is the business, over and above all others, that stimulates all other branches. The great wonder is that more men of ample means do not occupy themselves in this highest type of indus try.

MT. Murphy's Return.
After Eight Months of Work for Maricopa County.
Phenix Gazette


 MT. w. J. Murphy, one of the most tire less and energetic men in the west, re- turned Sunday from Washington, where he has been since February last, working in the interest of north and south road. In conversation with the Gazette reporter MT. Murphy said, "that there was and is to-day an overwhelming majority in both branches of congress in favor of our sub sidy bill but to the rush of other impor- tant measures and the opposition of the Southern Pacific railroad company, the friends of the measure were unable to call 1t up; that Is, unanimous consent could not be obtained and 1t had to go 90 days. MT. Murphy labored hard ana expended large sum of money to secure the passage of this worthy measure and the fact that his friends secured its pas sage against the influence of the South ern Pacific railroad, is of itself sufficient evidence of his labors. The report that Joe Reynolds had abandoned the prop ositon of building the northern road, Mr. Murphy says. is untrue as that gen tlemen is as anxious and as determined as ever that he will construct such line The gentleman speaks in high praise of the many acts of kindness of the lawmak- CTS who gave the subsidy bill their sup port and is of the opinion that it will pass the senate with ease during the short ses- sion
 Mr. Murphy is also of the opinion that the Southern Pacific will take up their track somewhere east of Yuma and build through Phenix, thus putting the capital city on that great inland highway of com merce. The Gazette feels kindly toward Mir Murphy for his eeasless labors in behalf of our railroad measure and bids him hearty welcome back to his Salt River Valley home.

Mines and Mining.
Yuma Times,

una Times.
 T. D. Mcleod was a passenger up the river on the Gila, bound for the Alberta, near the famous Clip mine It is his in- tention to put 10 or 12 men at wark taking out ore. Over million dollars has been taken from the Clip mine, but it has been closed for several years. Mr. Mcleod has reputation as a mining expert, and if there is anything in the Alberta he will probably get it out.
 Forty tons of ore from several different mines arrived Monday from Norton's Landing by Barge No. 3. It will all go to the Selby Smelling Works at Vallejo Junction, Cal.
 Cowan S Sons and Jim Scott started last week for Laguna on prospecting trip. They had four-horse wagon load ed with complete outfit, including dry washer.
 | Thos, B. Fraser, President of the Colo. rado River Placer Mining Company, writes from Banning that his company expects to commence ative work on their ground at the Pot Holes by the 1st of December and that he will be in Yuma early in No. vember.
 H. J. Deyo arrived from Banning, Cal this week to take charge of the construc tion of sluice boxes, reservoir, tanks, etc. for the Monitor company at Gila City Mr. Deyo did all the carpenter work con nected with the Laguna Mining Co., plant last year.
 Jim" Ousenbary is expected to arriv, in Yuma Saturday from Kansas City anC will immediately start the big pump a Laguna and commence to wash out mug gets from his rich ground.

A Close Call.

J. l.. Kemble. who came to Florence a couple of years ago ip quest of health, and having reached a satisfactory physi cal condition in this healthful climate. re- turned to his eastern home last spring He visited Colorado and spent the sum mer in the eastern and middle states, on ly to find himself again in ths embraced of his old enemy, rheumatism. He hastened bt,, ,'k to Arizona and arrived here last weeh. quite feeble and somewhat despon- dent. He was under treatment for his ailment and about noon yesterday he took down one of his two bottles of rerne- dies-one for external and the other for internal administration and by some strange misohance he took the wrong bot tle and unintentionally swallowed tea spoonful of aconite. Discovering his mistake at once, Dr. Adler was summon ed and, after several hours 0f hard work Mir. Kemble was pronounced odt qf dan ger, but it was q close call indeed.
 In this connection t may not be out oi place to warn invalids who experience re- lief in this climate against prolonged yls it's to their eastern homes. The result lS invariably a return of the original maiady in an aggravated form and the results arc generally fatal. Let well enough alone and stay by the bridge that carries you oyer and all will be well.

City Tax Collector. Tucson Star.

Now there is a struggle over the city tax collectors office. The license com mittee appointed Wm. Reid to fill the un- expired term of Collector Foster deceased, but there are several others who want the office and they want it bad and they VOW and declare that inasmuch as Reid is a member of the city council that he is not eligi ble and to straighten the busi- ness out they each and all of them are willing to assume the responsibilities of the office themselves.
 The whole trouble is, the city pays the sum of $100 per month for $25 worth of work. That is the reason there is a scramble for the office. Now the remedy is to consolidate the duties of the office of collector with that of th2 city recorder and add to his present salary $25 per month and save the city S75 per month. The time has come when city offices should not be utilized as charitable in stitutions; but should be maintained for the benefit of the public service.

Arizona Onyx.
Denver Republican.

"There is a wonderful onyx deposit about twenty-five miles from Prescott" :" said an old Arizona prospeetor yesterday to Republican representative. Ut is on the old Black Canon stage road, and, although all the old-time prospectors have passed over it and camped upon it, its value was not known until recently. There is a stage house near the place, and one day the stage driver was talking about marble palaces and bright stones which he had heard of. An Irishman who had listened to him said that there was a stone hack of the station which was finer than anything he had mentioned.
 He went out got, piece and polished it on grindstone The stage-driver was surprised at the result and still more so when he found it to be onyx. He and the Irishman filed on the deposit and since then it has changed hands, through pur- chase, three times. It is now being de- veloped by wealthy capitalists of Los Angeles The onyx is considered of a better quality than that found in Mexico. It occurs in layers like blanket vein and not in boulders. Some of it is so trans parent that one can read paper through it and as it's color is very rich we expect Arizona onyx to become famous"

Took in TucsOnites.

According to the Star some of Robin son'a circus attaches were too smart for several of the confiding Puebloites. The acrobatic game is called the palm swindle and was played in this wise: The chap selling the reserved seats displayed a valise in which was a large amount of change, especially five dollar gold pieces, and when parties asked for tickets he asked them if they had any large coins or bills, stating that he had accumulated too much change and as he did not want to take it out of town he would be obliged if they would give him twenties for them. Several parties complied. Two men gave forty dollars each in twenties, and when they came to count their change one found he was $15 and the other $10 short
 The business is done by sleight of hand. The swindler counts the com at one at a time and places it in the other party's hand. After it is placed there he counts it over the second time to satisfy the party it is there. but that is the time the sharper gets in his work. It is more than probable that several hundred dol lars were stolen in this way yesterday.
 The city marshal finally caught on and stopped this little pasttime.

A Hard-worked Desk Top.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 The fact that the Speakers desk was found to have been pounded into splinters when the cloth was removed from it seems to be accepted by many newspapers as a very unusual circumstance and as an indi- cation that Tom Reed was required to do more than the customary amount of ham, mering. Every Speaker succeeds in pounding the desk into splinters before half of the long session is over and it is not an unusual thing to have the top of the desk renewed before the Speaker strikes it for the last time and proclaims the session at an end. It don't require much pounding to splinter pine board, and particularly when the pine board forms the top of the Speakers desk.
 When Speaker, MT. Randall always sue ceeded in splintering the top of the desk twice during long session, and during the session of the Forty-fifth Congress, when the electoral vote was counted and MT. Hayes declared President, Mr. Ran dall pounded the top of the desk out of shape three times. Speaker Reed has done no more pounding than his prede- eessors in the Speakers chair, and not SC much as many of them. At all events, he has not broken the record in the desk breaking.

sCALDED TO DEATH.
Sad Accident to a Child at tMarIcopa-Over- turns From a Table Upon it's Body vessel of Boiling Liquid
 Interment in Phenix
 Yesterday.
Phenix Republican.

A fatal accident which has brought sorrow into the household of MT. w. V. Samuels, at Maricopa, occurred at about 2 o'clock on Monday last.
 Mrs. Samuels had been making toma- toe catsup, and placed a vessel contain ing the boiling fluid upon table near the stove. She stepped out of the room for a moment and her 14-months old child toddled up to the table, caught hold of the edge of the vessel and turned it over, emptying the contents over it's head and neck.
 There being no physician at the station, simple remedies known by the neighbors were applied, but to no avail, as the child had continuous spasms from the hour of the accident until about 1 80 o'clock yes- terday morning, when death relieved il of its tortures.
 The remains were brought up on the regular train yesterday and met at the depot by Undertaken Davis, who had pro vided carriages. The party were taker to the Mills House, from where the flu. neral took place at four o'clock. Services were held at the cemetery by pr. Kicker son of this city.
 Mrs. Holder and Mrs. Johnson, of Mar icopa, accompanied the sorowing parents returning to their homes this morning.
 This was the first death that has evel occurred at Maricopa.

CITRUS FRUITS.
What w. NJ. Ward of Phenix Says ot
 Yuma.
Yuma Times.


 w. M. Ward, the nurseryman of Phe- nix. was in town last week and in conver- sation with the Times gave his expressions of Yuma as a fruit raising section. In his opinion the valleys,o this county possess all the capabilities for successful fruit raising. Orange trees he thinks will flourish if they receive the right treat ment. Deciduous fruits and grapes un- doubtedly will succeed well. He thinks this is sure to be great raisin producing producing section in time, having the right climate to cure the grape. Figs will also do well. MT. Ward is thorough ly of the belief that Arizona is bound to be great fruit country in time. He is showing his faith by planting largely himself and encouraging others to do the same. With the questions of irrigation and transportion solved the future of the fruit business will be assured. AS to irri- gation he has great confidence in surface wells with water lifted by steam or wind power. MT Ward says large plantings oi trees are being made around Phenix, one man of his acquaintance intending to plant out 160 acres.

Hemp Experiments.
Yuma Times.

A ton of wild hemp has been ordered for experimental purposes, Without ma chinery all that can be done is to prepare the fibre for the market, which is all hand work except that the raw material has to be broken by rollers. Some of the fibre which has been picked out is eight feet long. The hemp is obtained about nine miles south of town, where it grows oyer thousands of acres extending into Mexico and Lower California It is fought that it can be brought oyer the line free under the Mckinley tariff, as the botanical clas- siication given the plant by the Agricui- tural Department would place it on the free list. Supt. Ingalls, is confident that when once known it will be preferred to manila.

Just Like Arizona.
Las Yegas Stock Grower.

It is to be hoped that the ensuing leg islature of New Mexlco will contain a ma jority of members who will look after the interests of the tax payers and pass meas ures that will either tend to reduce taxes, or see that the revenues which should be raised by the present outrageous rates in many counties are used for the benefit of tho public, and not for the purpose of ad- vancing the interest of any individual or party, as has been too often done in many counties in New Mexico, The fees allowed county and court officials are outrageous ly large, and it would seem to be the duty of every taxpayer and citizen to demand of all candidates for the legislature n pledge of advocacy of such measures as will cut down the territorial and county expenses, and build up perfect system of schools throughout the territory.

Cattle Shipments.
YI1na Sentinel

Col. Wm. Land one of the cattle kings of Arizona, has sold, so report says, about 5000 fat steers for the California market. A few carloads will be shipped at once. It is said that the balance will be driven overland, provided the $. P railroad company, does not lower its rates of freight.
 Following the above it is well to note that last year 4Q00 fat steers were ship ped out of Arizona, nearly all of them going east on account of the high rates of freight to California points. These country to a point where there were competing railroads, and at which, such rates were given, that the owners could ship the cattle to market to have a margin left. These cattle would have been ship ped to California, had not the rates of freight prevented it.
