lection. Those in the Superstition north of Florence, pro duce an edible nut very much resemb- ling the English walnut and almost as large, and the trees grow to line proportions. There is hardly doubt that q very superior quality of walnut can be grown upon this hardy na- tive stock by budding it with the improved varieties, and as there are numberless places among the mourn tains where they grow without care or irrigation, it might prove a field ot remunerative enterprise for many industrious people. In fact our noun tains abound with wild fruits, some of them being of new varieties and the most delicious flavor. The wild straw berries of the Sierra Anchas are a large, long and tapering berry ot the most exquisite flavor and they re- spond to cultivation in the valleys with little trouble. The wild cherries of the Superstition mountains are
 large and sweet, and many ranges
 bear wild raspberries, blackberries and
 entrants of excellent quality. These
 facts suggest the availability of noun
 tain farms for fruits raising and, asid'
 from the distance to the markets very delightful places of abode can b'
 found in these lofty retreats.

Grow Black Walnuts.
Stockton Independent.

Eighty-nine walnut trees fit for tim Der sold in northeastern In diana short time ago for S6,S00. A grove of 120 trees in the same region brought $1O,O00; these trees would square about twenty inches, the size most common in that vicinity.
 Trees of size could be raised in twen- ty years or less in much of the alluvial soil along the San Joaquin that is un- profitable CT uncertain as farming land. At the rate realized in Indiana there is fortune in the business, for much higher prices could be realized here.
 The supply of walnut timber is con stantly growing shorter and the value advancing. If the owner of such soil desires to found fortune for his chil- dren he should devote twenty acres to walnuts. That area would grow over 1000 trees, which, at the rate paid for the Indiana timber, would be whole fortune in itself.
 It will pay some one to try the ex- pertinent, because the land can be used for other purposes after the trees have been cultivated few years, and where land is adapted to them other crops can be raised between the trees until they are large enough to shade the ground too heavily.

fCorr. Yuma Times.


 LOWER CALIFORNIA, April 3, lS9O. A Mexican passed on his way to Yuma on the 3rd instant, and stated that in three days he and partner had, in a single days washing, taken out two ounces of gold dust, at the Coco pah placers. He said further that the ground is drying fast and that they are able to work to much better ad- vantage.
 To-day l met a couple of Germans, driving in A light lumber wagon, who stated there is plenty of water in a laguna three miles beyond Indian Wells.
 The surveyors (those going over the nroposed Peninsula route, and the same mentioned in my correspondence to the Times last week., are about forty miles below Yuma and are surveying out towards New River sta ton, on the edge of the desert. l have not vet been able to see them, being too busy.
 The bottoms down this way are con- stantly overAowed, being flooded from the rise of the river. Some of the large sloughs are always filled.
 c. H. Vail left quite number oi cattle behind him, or else lost them or the desert, as I have seen some ten ol twelve, one of which was dead, having mired in the river.
 The Caleta or pigweed and other weeds and grasses are beginning tC grow nicely.
 Quite band of Digenos passed to day with their chief, intending to gC to Yuma where they will have { grand pow-wow with the Yuma In dians.

Another Gone Over.

Jas. Wilson Davis, familiarly known as "Dick Davis" died at sunset last evening. He was one of our old Hassay- ampers, honorable m his dealings and the friend of all who knew him. He drove cattle here from Texas fifteen years ago and has stock herding about Frog Tanks to-day. His original quart CT section two miles west of town has been cut up for other settlers, but he re- tained a comfortable home place. He operated about Prescott and once went through Mexico. There some bandits attempted to lasso him. He fled through cholla flat and lay concealed in a brush covered gulch for three days picking out the cactus barbs. His fun eral will take place tomorrow. Arizona Lodge No ?, F. X A. M., of which he had long been an officer, will hold Masonic ceremonies at the cemetery at 10 a. m He was the father-in-law of R. J. Holmes Jr., the Yavapai cattle man and leaves a large family. His death is mourned by many sincere admirers -Phenix Herald

THE refusal of the old board of prison commissioners to turn over the affairs of that institution to the new appointees, we learn from Chairman P. R. Brady, was occasioned by de- sAire 10 carry to the Supreme Court of United States decision of the Dis trict Court. The case of Cheyney vs. Smith, recently decided by the Court, in which Attorney General Churchill was attorney for the defendant, it is understood, will not be appealed for the for the reason that Churchill does not desire reversal of the judgment of the court. The alleged compromise by which superintendent Strauss turned over his office to Cheyney, also acts as q bar to an appeal, and the acting commissioners who have served for a year, believed that the act of vacating their offices was con fession of their usurpation thereo and in effect would stultify their DO sition. Therefore they invite an ac ton for ejectment, or usurpation O office, with view to carry the ques ton direct to the United States Su preme Court, and they will accept tn
 penalty imposed if this tribunal al firms the judgment of the lower cour' In other words, they are fighting for
 principle and will not be satisfied UT
 il final decision is reached in tn
 matter. They are certainly exhibi
 ing commendable degree of mor'
 courage in view of the financial risl
 they assume, and they deserve ti sympathy of their party friends their immolation serves but to der onstrate that their nerve is bett than their judgment.

Stop It.

Delegate Smith ought to have law passed by congress prohibiting in ex- press terms, the governor of any terri tory from appointing any member of the legislature to any office. It is only within the last four years that this outrageous, corrupt system of bribery has been introduced into Ari- zona politics, and while it is indirectly prohibited by law, yet the principle has been violated in the most shameful manner. No executive of any state or territory outside of Arizona has dared to thus openly bribe members of the legislature with office, and no member of any legislature outside of Arizona, so far as the Star can learn, has shown such utter disregard to law and principle as those who have made personal demand upon the chief exc cutive for an official appointment in exchange for legislative service. The system of political corruption, in the bargain and sale of offices between the governor and members of the leg islature, should be throttled, and at once. Congress should take Ire bus
 mess in hand And 1t would be well
 for the conventions of both parties in
 all of the counties to denounce the
 rotten practice and pledge every can
 didate for the legislature to vote fol
 the passage of a law prohibiting th'
 appointment of any member of tn legislature to an office by the governo during his term as such legislator The territory has had quite enough o
 this corrupt system of political barter , ing away of legislative influence fo , fat territorial offices. The people de 5 mand that it be stopped now and fol 7 ever.-Star.

Coffee.

The fertile lands of Yuma county are not only admirably adapted to the profitable production of the citrus fruits, but are unquestionably suited to the successful cultivation of coffee. The climate and soil in this section are all that could be desired in grow ing coffee, and there can be no doubt 1 as to the profit of the crop. The coffee plant needs plenty of water and re- spends well to irrigation. It is a rapid, hardy grower and but little cultiva- tion
 Writing upon the subject of coffee, correspondent says that the only variety of the plant which has any value known to commerce is the Aribica. It is a beautiful evergreen shrub growing under cultivation to height of from six to ten feet, and when wild much higher. It is of natur- al order cinchonace@. It's leaves, | oblong ovate, accuminate, are opposit-
 ly placed, shining, and of light-green
 color. The branches are slender, in-
 clining downward, giving to the shrub
 a graceful pyramidal shape. The
 flowers, which are small and white,
 with an agreeable odor, appear in the
 axilis of the leaves, one or more on
 each axil. One enveloping pericarp is
 borne usually in each axil at the end
 of short stalk composed of thin wall
 ed cells, easily separable, containing
 two seeds, which are convex on the
 outer side, and fiat with deep groove
 on the inner side, the fiat surfaces fac
 ing each other. Their value comes from the particular chemical property called caffein. After it is gathered by hand or shaken from the trees, the coffee is dried in the sun. cleaned by machinery and shipped in sacks. All the kinds of coffee grow on tht one variety of the plant. Each partic ular kind is produced by the particula temperature or degree of heat and alti !, tude at which it is grown. If th' | shrub is planted on the equator it vii
 produce Mocha; if five degrees iron the equator it will produce Java. Ri 7 and all other varieties and kinds out side of the producing belt ar
 grown within twenty degrees of tn 6 equator The shrub at about ten dc '- grees, at high attitudes, produce large 7; white Rio, which if shipped to an Al Il lantic port in an old steam vessel wi Il take on color that when placed i > Old Government sacks prevents it's b' l, nig told from genuine Java.-Yum n Sentinel.

A LETTER has been received at this office from the school trustees of Tue son asking the grounds for our state ment last week that "the opinion pre- vails, however, that the school funds have been expended with too lavish hand and that extravaganza has been the rule rather than economy" The statement was based principally upon the exhaustion of the school funds oi that district two months before the close of the usual school year; also upon the expressed opinions of resi- idents of Tucson.

GLOBE April 9th,

GLOBE April 9th,
 EDITOR ENTERPRISE Some of our newspapers declare that not one good point has as yet been brought out against Gov. Wolhey. Of course l come in for my share of this statement as I too took shot at the Governor. I will not attempt to argue the point further and will leave it for the people to judge which side has the better of the controversy-Woliey and his friends, or those who have been op- posing him.
 But would like to mention one little item which may lead some one to suggest a point which will commend itself to these people who like so much to side with some great man(3) like Wolhey fer instance. I have not tried to advance any ar guments as to the validity of the lawi further than that I think we are com pelled to obey them until our courts i decide the matter for us, and as said before, our own Legislature car re-enact all laws for us that may be o doubtful legality. But l am gettinl away from what intended to suggest It is this: If after a certain perio' Gov. WolHey considered the Legisla ture an illegal body, why did he no notify them that he could not official ly recognize themH Why did he seu 10 them for their official confirmation his nominations to Territorial o fices2
 Would it not have looked far bette in him if he had done thls than b recognizing them as he did until the could confirm his appointments an aid him out in his partisan scheme;
 Now do not offer this as abuse br humbly submit it thinking that it pertinent to the question at hand an that probably some one can gain son satisfaction from it. However do n' l expect it will comfort the Governt and his friends very much.

THE mere intimation that a partisan contest upon the legislative ticket this fall will be based upon the issue of the payment by the territory of the salaries of the hold-over officers af- iected by the recent adverse decision of the Supreme Court, has brought out the opposing response, twill the people of Arizona submit to such propositionH" This is a trifing issue upon which to array the two great political parties and it involves no principle of partisanship whatever.
 We do not suppose that one voter out of hundred cares straw whether these men are paid or not. They joined issue with the appointees of Governor Wolhey and took their chances of success or defeat and should abide by the result. They possess no just or equitable claim upon ! the territory, which has already paid | fat sums for the confusion that was
 worse confounded by the bitter con
 test, and their proper remedy lies in
 an appeal to the dernier tribunal. A
 contest between the two political
 parties based solely upon poodle would
 be unworthy of the support of the
 people, and yet, from present indi
 cations, that issue will underlie tn,
 approaching campaign. Affairs seen to go from bad to worse and they al the more urge the necessity of a strict , ly independent movemento of the pee ple in the interests of the public. Tn election of good, capable and homes f men to the legislature upon an ir dependent platform and pledges mean
 the elimination of all meaningles
 partisan strife from our legislativ n halls and the enactment of goo s and wholesome laws. This is whi Q the people need in the present eme If gency and it is what the exigencies ( If the situation require, and if the pc ,o pie are alive to their own interes ss they will at once end this expensi' ,o farce; this peculation and corruptio 10 that is bankrupting our territory ar 70 bringing it into disrepute ever ,o where.

 The sale of the Flagstaff jail has been postponed. It will be sold on the 21st of this month.
 A petition is being circulated in our city asking the appointment of Harry Buck for the clerk of the district court of Apache county. MT. Zuck IS young man of good habits and would serve his county in faithful and ef- ficient manner as clerk.
 The farmers of this section need have no fears about home market for every pound of produce. The mar ket is here, the soil is here, and the price is here, so nothing will be lack ing in the farmers welfare in any of these particulars.
 No man deserves greater encom1- um from the citizens of Flagstaff than conductor F F. Frians, who happened to be pulling into town just as the Sunday morning fire started. Never were the people made to feel more potently the power of a locomotive whistle than on this morning. He blew his whistle with all the power and force he could command, ant soon the fire alarm was carried iron one part of the city to the other b. this means. He deserves medal 10 his action in the matter.
 That Flagstaff is fast becoming tn stopping point for tourists from tn four different points of the compass none will deny. It is situated on tn line of the A. &t P railroad, and il the midst of one of the finest pin forests on the American continent. It scenery cannot be surpassed. It lie at the foot of one of the most majesti peaks on the Pacific coast, and ha many resources surrounding it nc found elsewhere on this line of raj road. It is the stopping place for pc sons who wish to visit the cliff an cave dwellers, the grand canyon, an !. many places of curiosity.

Juices Of CsiifOrnia's Vegetable Alternatives Almost Sensational.

lady formerly of l22l Mission St., but now of 400 Hayes St, 8. F., writes to the Edwin w. Joy Co. as follows: Mrs. II. T. Beverly, Of Se- attle, resided with me last winter. She had long been sufferer from dyspepsia and waterbrssh. Her stomach was so weak that for months st time she lived principally upon milk and the white of eggs. Among other things she tried one of the mineral sarsapurillas only to find that 1t gave her pains in the head and weak sinking spells. Having taken Joys Vegetable SarsaPa- rilla myself with great benefit i'll stomach troubles, I induced her to discard the potash preparation and try your Vegetable compound. It began reinvigorating her stomach and in 8 short time helped her astonishingly. It inl- proved her appetite and strength to that extent, that just before she left, she was beginning to return to solid food. She authorized me to write you this statement accordingly"

Died From Fright.

A Mexican family was on it's way to town last evening from the neighbor- hood of Warmers Lake, and when passing along the road by the Chinese vegetable gardens on the lands owned by the Catholic Church, a fierce dog owned by the Chinaman, jumped out after them and come very near catching one of the boys by the leg. The boy picked up rock to defend himself and threw it at the dog. At that instant q Celestial put in an ap- pearance with pistol in hand and followed the family for about two hundred yards, threatening 10 shoot them. Finally he leveled the pistol at the mother, who from fright tainted and fell in her tracks. The alarm was given to some Mexican neighbors who hurried to the scene. The woman was picked up insensible ane brought to town, but soon died, pre- sumably from fright. The Chinamar
