TAM O,sHANTER TALKS.
To the Citizens and Taxpayers of Pinal
 County.

Now in my humble opinion, is the time, while both parties are at loggerheads, to get together, throw your parties and pre- judices to the winds and look for some element which promises, and must, to succeed, carry out such reforms as are equal and practical, and save the county from the monsters that are gnawing the vitals of the taxpayers, and trying to put everything into the hands of a few who have no interest but their own at heart. Of what benefit tell me, is 1t to be dem ocrat, or a republican? The first are not in power at present, and if you don't come from the states you cannot get any favors from the second. So leave your politics to one side and use your best endeavors to benefit your own county and territory. Look well who you elect to office this fall; see that you know them well, resi- dents of good and long standing, under no obligations to monopolists of any kind; taxpayers that have their county's interest at heart; honorable men of educa- tion and experience.
 Pick out good ticket; the county Is a large one and lots of good material to choose from. Don't try to hog it all; there are taxpayers in other portions of the county besides Florence.
 Be very careful who you vote for to the legislature; remember the farce of two short years ago; never let your county be disgraced in such manner again.
 A large part of our legislators spend more money in a session than their pay or mileage amounts to. I hope none will think my information news to them; l merely speak this as a reminder, and so the farce will be continued, until different material Is elected and sent there.
 These are offices that should be filled with the best material the county can furnish, no matter what his politics may be, and in my humbleness will insist as long as I have breath to at least try by word and deed, to assist in placing such men to make laws for us which will have a semblance of equality to all
 The expenses of running this county are out of all reason, one little item the grand jury should look into this session. think they could not employ their time any better; it is impossible to imagine where and how they get away with the money and bring the county ln debt more and more every year.
 And now tell me of what use can there be in waiting to make change. Re nounce at once allegiance to the parties whose daily actions you must justly con demn.
 It is peculiar duty you owe to your selves and to others that you should not only refuse to support the party that does not serve you, but you should go further and assist in their disgrace and utter ruination. Self preservation ssis the first law of nature.
 P.S.-In late;issue of THE ENTERPRISE I see that Tom Mcclellan and George Apsey, the murderer" would sit for hours spinning sea yarns together. Who ever gave THE ENTERPRISE such infor- nation, lied" Tom Mcclellan has no liking; and never had, for the man or any of his kind and you will never find him in snch company. He is not struck after such kind of people" and don't want the notoriety either. TAM o. SHANTER.

From Florence.
Tucson Star.


 Fabian Moreau, of Florence, Pinal county, is in the city. He reports times there somewhat dull just now, especially in town, but thinks they will soon pick up, as the great Silver King mine is about to startnp.
 A large vein has been struck which pays as the mine ever paid during the bonanza times.
 Thevein gradually widens as they sink upon it and will soon reach fifty feet when all who may desire to see and inspect this great mine will be permitted to go down it's shafts and tunnels.
 The cattle interests were never better. All kinds of stock are doing well. Crops were somewhat short on account of the scarcity of water in the canal during the time it was most needed, TLere Is plenty in it now, and when the rese rvoir is. filled, which will be as soon as finished, the water problem will be solved and yearly crops may be assured.
 MT. Moreau will return home on to- morrow; he came here to attend to some business before the United States Land Office.

 About Sea-GDlls.
From the Seattle Morning Journal


 "One bitterly cold day." said the old traveller, 'we-a ship load of us-were ly- ing at the wharf at Astoria. The river was frozen and we were waiting for the ice to break, Astoria, on its innumerable piers, with its dull store houses and scat tered houses struggling up the hill among the burnt pines, does not offer many at fractions to the tourist at any time, When 1t is buried in snow it Is desoiate. The long days were unkroken by any event, the ice seemed to be getting irmer. We were perishing with ennui. That is how we got to watching the crows. These poor things were dying of starvation and they could not resist the temptation to hover about the ship. They could not get the food out of the water, but stood on the blocks of ice and looked envious- ly down into the waves at the drifting bits of refnse. The poor black wretches could not stand still on the ice or their feet would have frozen fast, so they shifted from one leg to the other in manner which gave them the appearance of danc- ing.
 All about, with screams and Tapping of wings, flew a flock of gulls, snatching the food from the water and fishing in fierce good fellowship. Soon we noticed a sort of understanding between the black birds and the white ones. For a while the sable birds pranced and danced sur rounding them, picking up bits of food and depositing them within reach of their starving neighbors. And we all looked and wondered to see dumb crea- lures helping each other in their sore dis tress, and pondered on the language of those creatures we arrogantly call dumb. J

From Silver Bell.


 Mir. H. b. Underwood returned from Silver Bell Monday
 The Silver Bell Mining Go. is working 20 men, who are mostly engaged in build ing a road in the mine, which will be completed during the week.
 The lumber Will be shipped to-day for the company sssbuildings. including dwell ling, boarding houses, store, assay office and stables
 Until the mines are sufficiently devel- oped te supply ore for the smelter, the ore taken out will be shipped to some of the other smelters.
 The important consideration now Is th;: opening of new road to the district. MT. Underwood says the distance can be so shortened that it will be out 35 miles and over easy grades, This is matter of importance to Tucson and the county and it is hoped the supervisors will give this subject their attention at their next meeting.
 c. s. Morton is the general manager of the Silver Bell Mining Go. and R. J. Cleary the superintendent of mines.
 The company begins operations under the most faYQtable auspices, as it has most excellent mines and the manage ment is all that could be desired.

Choice Cattle Steadily Advancing.

Rather more than the usual activity has characterized the live stock markets during the past week and the tendency of prices for hogs and sheep and the best grades of cattle have been in the direc- tlon of improvement, despite the fact that the receipts have continued of unusually liberal proportions. The choicer grades of cattle are arriving very sparingly; in fact there IS just now scarcity of that class. As result we note 6 further enhancement of values, the market hay ing moved up to $500 to $5.50 for choice to extra, which is an advance on the prices current week ago of from ten to fifteen cents per 100 lbs. The strlctly choice cattle will continue scarce during the remainder of 1890 is a conclusion that seems fully warranted, and prices bid fair to score a further substantial advance, despite the machinations Of the dressed beef combine. The market for common and medium cattle continues to be largely overstocked. We are re- ceiving of range cattle from 30,000 to 40- GOO head per week, and as a very consi- derable part of the natives now arriving do not grade better than medium there is slim chance for any improvement in prices. The grades below good have declined fifteen to twenty five cents with in the week
 Sheepi and lambs are higher, notwith- standing the continued heavy receipts. Increased activity among feeders relieved the market of a large part of the common and med;nm grade, and at no time was the supply of good qualities equal to the demand; hence there was strengthening of values all along the line. Further i'm provement in prices is among the proba- bilities-Breeders' Gazette.

J. s. Hall Withdraws.

The following communication of J. s. Hall, republican nominee for district at torney, withdrawing his name from the ticket, fully explains itself:
 FLORENCE, September 9, 1890.
 Hon. w. R. STONE, Chairman Repubi- can Central Committee, Pinal County.
 DEAR SIR:-With many regrets l must retire as candidate for district attorney.
 The nomination of the republican con vention was surprise to me, and without due consideration and acting under the impulse of the moment l accepted. Never in my life having been a candidate for any office did not appreciate the person. al odium of the position.
 Now upon reflection 1 find that my pri- vate business and my obligation to my clients in the approaching term of the district court here as well as at Globe, will tax my strength and health to the utmost, and take up every moment of my time, so that shall not be able to enter into political campaign.
 Assuring the gentlemen of the conven- tion that I appreciate keenly the compli- ment paid to me.
 I remain sincerely and respectfully yours, J. $. HALL

Carrying Concealed Weapons.
From the New York Star.


 The law against carrying concealed weapons Is supposed to be in force in nearly all the northern states east of the Mississippi. Though it is generally known and understood, 1t Is enforced on ly in rare cases
 Tt is a peculiar law, anyhow" said Charles Hammond, a young travelling man who had drifted all over the country Tt is designed to operate against desper- ate characters, and can not be strictly en- forced without doing injustice to many respectable people who have to be armed in case of self defense Men who have the handling of large sums of money, or whose duties call them into dangerous localities among all sorts of people often, have to be armed. 1t is often 6 good law for the police. It gives them, in many cases, ground on which to arrest and hold a suspicious character when there is no other charge at hand In this city one rarely hears of an arrest for carrying a weapon, although hundreds walk Broad way with pistol within reach. If man gets in trouble and is arrested for any thlng,. the weapon Is confiscated and may be used as evidence against him. Phila- delph1a Is very strict about the matter There man is arrested and fined with no other charge against him than carry ing pistol. But that is the only city in the country, l guess, where this holds true.
 Tn Pittsburg a man is safe unless he is arrested. Then second charge for carrying a concealed weapon is pretty certain to face him if a pistol is found in his pocket. In Chicago the police per mits, giving man permission to carry 2 concealed weapon, has long been in vogue. But the courts have just decided that such permits are illegal. Now the police are making great stir over suppressing concealed weapons, yet there are 10000 men in Chicago who carry them, and who have never thought Of getting any permit. Throughout the far west and south the law, if there is any on the subject, is rare ly enforced"

A Foolish Request.
Ias Vegas Stock Grower-


 One of the biggest blunders into which the National Farmers congress fell at it's late meeting in Council Bluffs was the adoption of the resolution asking the en- aetment of law which would make it compulsory cn those whose stock range upon the government lands to pay tax for the same equal to the rental charged by owners of land. The eastern press in in this country has so educated the peo- pie that they really think they are being wronged by the pioneers. who, with their herds, are leading in the opening up of this country to settlement. So deter1nin- cd were Gaeay of the delegates that tbev were unwilling to hear the protests of a western farmer, and it was with difficulty that the few representatives of North and South Dakota and Montana could get hearing on the subject. And the ignorance exhibited by the promoters was so glaring that some members who stood against the resolution declined to take any part, contenting themselves with the knowledge that the measure was wholly impracticahle and could never be enforc- sd. The promoters and their allies seem- ed to lose sight of the fact that this priv ilege of grazing upon the public domain is no more than has been indulged in by all settlers of new countries, and were bent on passing the resolution without even considering the justice of it. They were told that nothing would please the large owners of cattle and sheep more than the privilege of leasing the grazing lands whereby they could monopolize them to the detriment of tie thousanfs 8 of people seeking homes. And while their inclinations seemed in all other matters to be averse to monopolies, they would not reeede from the well.seated idea that to tax the herd owners for the use of the range would reduce the num- Der of cattle and sheep raised in the range districts, and thereby lessen the opposi- tion to themselves as producers of beef ard mutton,

A BRIGHT PROSPECT.
ED. WELLS OF PRESCOTT TALKS OF
 PHOENIX'S FUTUGE.
Believes it will Yet Have 25, ,cco Inhsbit- ants---A Railroad Needed tn Con. meet Marfcopa and Yava-
 pal Counties.
Phenix Republican.

Ed. Wells, of Prescott, is one of the best known and highly appreciated men in Arizona. An attorney of acknowledged ability and successful man of business, it is indeed hattering to Phenix that he has evidenced his faith in the develop ment of the Capital City by erecting in 1t two substantial and handsome dwell lngs.
 MT Wells has been in Phenix the past week, attending to the furnishing of l IS new buildings, and expresses himself as more than pleased with the prospect for the winter, and indeed for all future time.
 That Phenix will be city of 25,000 inhabitants, and that soon, I have no doubt" said MT. Wells yesterday to Re publican representative. This valley has wonderful range of products and mar vicious fertility and will raise Phenix to high position.
 Whatever prejudice may have existed in years gone by in Prescott as regarded Phenix, has, in my opinion, largely dis appeared. There was never any cause for its existence, for the interests of the counties of Yavapai and Maricopa are identical. Being entirely dissimilar in products and industries, they will never clash in a common market, but will find
 mutual prOnJ ln oXcnanGlng W1tn eacn other their commodities. That this may be done requires connecting railroad. That this railroad should be built is be- yond dispute, and the counties should confer together as to the best means of accomplishing it's construction.
 Prescott needs barley, hay, fruits and other products, while from the north can be exchanged lumber, of which you now stand so much in need. Phenix will be benefited from business and agricultur- al standpoint while Yavapai would gain in securing the necessaries of life much cheaper and in the added development of the magnificent mining resources of Yavapai county. When the heat of sum- mer is willing the people of this valley they could take transportation and in short time be among the peaks of the Bradshaw mountains; while, when the bit ing cold of January and February is pre- venting work in Prescott, how pleasant it would be to slip down to Phenix and en- joy the sunshine and balmy air Yes, Yavapai and Maricopa counties have identical interests and with proper effort may become also profitable to eaeh other'

More Mining Machinery.
Yuma Times.

uind llllGS.
 MT. B. Harazthy, who Is the manager of the Eclipse Mining and Prospecting Company, of San Francisco, was in town this week from Gila City, where the pla- cer ground owned by the company is To- cated. Their ground adjoins the claims Of the Monitor Mining Company, of Mo berly, Mo, and IS believed to be fully as rich. The Eclipse company is composed of several prominent San Francisco capi- talists, among whom is Arpad HaraztaY, of champagne fame, and others of eqL \ financial solidity It is their intention to thoroughly exploit their property and for this purpose they have purchased machin- cry to the amount of $l5,000. which has just been shipped from San Francisco. It comprises large Knowles pump and boiler, with the necessary piping to con- duct the water from the river to the sluice boxes.
 The Gray Concentrator Company will set up one of their concentrators on the property of the Eclipse company, for the purpose of demonstrating that the heavy cement, which is found in large quanti- ties on the placer ground near Gila City, and which carries considerable gold, can be successfully worked by their process. If this proves to be the case the Eclipse company will purchase the machine and continue to use 1t.
 MT Harazthy Is an experienced and practical mining man and under his able management the company hopes to receive large returns on their investment.

Date Culture.
Yuma Times.


 Within comparatively short time the culture of dates for market will become a prominent local industry. There is not the slightest doubt that the results will prove entirely satisfactory, it having long since passed the experimental stage, as is demonstrated by the trees at MT. A. Hanlop's ranch, which are thriving magnificently. Date growing is indeed destined to yield for Yuma county splen- did revenues for the reason that no other locality in the union can produce this de- hcious fruit in quantity sufficient to make it remunerative. Here, the conditions are admirably adapted to its culture, the soil, climate and other accessories amply meeting every requirement. Hence our people will observe with satisfaction the planting of date palms contemplated by MT H. w. Blaisdell.
