A Modern Dick swivsller.

Now that so much discredit has been attached to Arizona, throughout the country, in consequence of the supposed miscarriage of the Wham robbery trial, Delegate Mark Smith don't seem over anxious to disclose his part asdefendant's counsel therein. Such, at least, would seem to be the idea received by the Washington Post of December 24th, concerning his fail ure to appear at the opening of Con gress. That paper then says:
 Delegate Mark Smith, of Arizona, was among the arrivals at the Riggs yesterday and was the object of numer- ous congratulations, having just taken unto himself wife. When the draw ing for seats in the House took place it was announced that MT. Smith was unavoidably absent, and unanimous consent was given to allow seat to be selected for him when his name came out of the box. The 'unavoid able feature of Delegate Smiths absence is not known"
 Delegate Smith was married, as his friends inform us, in 1885. Why he should conceal that fact from his Con gressional associates until now, and then spring wedding bells upon them at this time as a novelty, is queer, tC say the least.
 Perhaps he hopes in that way tc shut his ears against that more dis cordant ringing of popular clamol against his unavoidable" absence il Tucson, when Congress assembled.
 At any rate it looks as though the tattered garments of Dickens "Artful Dodger" had descended to the Honor able Mark.

X Big Enterprise.

The Journal Miner learns on good authority that the Electric Placer Com pany will shortly commence opera tions in Yavapai couty on an exten- sive scale. The plans which have been about Lonsummated, will involve an expenditure of from $250,00 to $500,- 900. The object is to work rich placer ground in the vicinity of Rich Hill, in Weaver district. A third dam will be built in the Hassayampa river between the two dams of the Walnut Grove Water Storage company, from which power will be obtained to run an cleo trlc plant, the electricity generated from which will be transmitted by wires to Weaver district. The mac kn- cry will be shipped by water to New Orleans, thence by rail to Phenix, from which point it will be hauled by teams to its destination.

Prospects For Water Storage.

A Washington correspondent of the Denver Times says the special Senate Committee on Reservoirs and Irriga- ton, of which Senate Stewart, of Nevada, is chairman, will make a very vigorous report in favor of immediate steps for the reclamation of the arid lands, and will take the position that this can only be done by the construc- ton of reservoirs for the holding of the surplus water. It will recom- &iend:
 l. That the geological survey be furnished with facilities for pushing it's work as vigorously as possible so that the sites valuable for reservoirs shall be known, and
 ?. That all possible aid be furnish ed to individuals for the construction of the reservoirs.
 The government will not probably undertake to build the reservoirs itself nor is 1t considered advisable that the State should do so. There will, there fore, probably be recommendation that individuals and companies be granted favorable terms upon lands which could be made irrigable and tillable by the construction of reser- voirs.
 In this connection it appears that the Rio Grande river was dry all last summer for 500 miles, the Colorado farmers using the water. New Mexi co therefore, as well as Arizona, will demand water storage provisions i'm mediately.

Senator Reagan's Opinion.

In speaking of his visit to Arizona, Senator John H. Reagan, of Texas, is reported by the New York World to have expressed himself as follows: q was very much surprised at the mag nitude of our great arid belt. It is simply beyond the power of man to describe; it's extent seems almost boundless, and its possibilities incom- parable. Now there is ancient Arizona the name of this territory has struck terror to the Eastern and Middle States men for years, but, of course, my home in Texas gave me better and more accurate idea ofits character than those eastern people. But I tell you I was not prepared for what the Sen River valley, in Central Arizona. It is land that is little known beyond the limits of the territory, but in can dor l can say it is the most beautiful country I ever beheld in my life, and what is even better than it's beauty, is it's wonderful productive qualities, and Phenix, its principal city, is a gem in it's way. It is said that God made the country, and man made the towns, but the same lavish hand of nature en- dowed this charming little city and its equally charming surroundings. l think like Senator Stewart, that Ari- zona has great future; it's mineral deposits are unbounded, and its agri- cultural lands extensive and rich, and with the fostering hand of the nation to assist in retaining the millions of acres of desert lands, now unoccupied, it's prosperity and progress is only o,1actiop of q short tin,a R

MANY of the largest tax.payers and

MANY of the largest taxpayers and most substantial citizens of Final county express their unqualified ap- proval of the suggestion of Mir. Samuel Hughes, of Tucson, as expressed in his communication to TIE ENTER PRISE, to disregard all party lines in the selection of local officials and, if necessary, to form a tax-payers' ticket for support at Che polls. This action is not any reflection upon their party fealty but it is a. a.measure of selfprotec- ton. They bear the burdens of the pub lie expenses and very naturally take a deep interest in the expenditure of the funds the law exacts from them. Party support brings no relief and they have grown weary of placing any faith in ante-election promises of candidates that are forgotten almost as soon as the polls are closed. Pinal county has probably suffered less from incom- petent officials than any other portion of the Territory, but if the principle suggested by Mir. Hughes is generally adopted 1t is very likely that encour- agement will be given the movement by its taxpayers.

It is evident from the experience of the last two winters that great change is taking place in the climate of Arizona, more particularly in this part of it. It has generally been be- lieved that this was one the dryest portions of the territory, but that idea will have to be modified, as it is evi- dent that crops of any description would have matured in the most perfect manner by the rainfall of the past two winters. When the immense extent of the fertile valleys of Mohave are considered, the importance of this change can hardly be overestimated. It is possible that few years may witness a great change in the condi- tion of business in this part of the country. Where now are stock ranges we may see well cultivated farms, with orchards and vineyards, rivaling if not excelling the Salt River and Gila valleys. As for climate take it all the year round, we have undoubt- edly the best in the territory, if not on the coast. With all these advantages we may yet see Kingman large city controlling the trade of a vast extent of fertile country.-Mohave Miner.

IT has required only the revolution ary methods adopted by our reckless and irrational executive to convince those most strenuously opposed to the admission of Arizona to statehood that our only safety lies in the speedy as- sumption of that condition. We are drifting from bad to worse, with little hope of even a feeble effort being made to paciiy the popular clamor for a settlement of the present difficulties that overshadow every interest of the people. The courts could determine the questions within a week, but the governor is evidently afraid to trust his bad cause to their impartial judg- ment and seeks justification through partisan prejudice in Congress. This course is not only childish, but Tn its evil effects it is infamous and as re- lief from the possibility of repetition of such outrageous tactics in the future every citizen of the territory wouli welcome statehood even though ! it doubled the rate of taxation.

A Sad Accident.

James Gregg, of Pima, met with a fatal accident at Bowie Station on Fri day last. He accompanied some friends to Bowie to see~tfiem off and got on the train 10 ride short distance with them. The train pulled out, and, be- ing engaged in conversation with his friends he paid no attention to the speed it was attaining. When he tried to jump of. the train was moving at a high rate of speed and in some manner he slipped, was struck by the cars and instantly killed. The unfortu- nate man had his neck broken and his shoulder smashed. He leaves a wife and five children in strengthened cir ces.-Solomonville Bulletin.

The Tombstone Epitaph sa

The Tombstone Epitaph says :- "Judging from the vigorous attacks on ex-Governor Stafford because of his criticisms of our misfit executive, Mr. Stafford seems to have upset the equanimity of the Governor and his friends. Instead of trying to answer his arguments, they descend to the disgraceful depths of raking up MT. Saford's unfortunate domestic trou- bles, which, according to the Prescott Courier, and Mr. Marion ought 10 know what he is talking, were not his fault Such tactics on the part of his defamers only increases our re- spect for MT.

Legal War.


 The Nepture Mining Co. suit bids fair to become a celebrated case in the history of legal battle in Cochise coun- ty. The recent relocation of these valuable mines by Ben James and M. Perasich is fresh in the minds of all readers of the Prospector The case is now in the courts and a decision will probably be reached during the present term. This will be but a be- ginning of the quarrel for we under stand that whichever way the case turns an appeal will be taken by the defeated side. That it is a desperate case and that it is one in which much i'll feeling is being shown, is evinced by the latest development, which was the serving by Judge Berry, who is working on the defense side for a con- tingent, upon Judge Stillwell attorney for the company, requiring him to show in open court his authority to act for the company. The picnic will be held on the 2d of January, and a pleasant time for all who attend is assured.-Prospector.
