Intellectual Culture.

A cultivated mind may be said to
have infinite stores of innocent gratih-
cation. Everything may be made In
~teresting to it by becoming a subject of
thought or inquiry. Books, regarded
merely as a qualification, are worth
more than all the Injuries ON earth.
A taste for literature cur cheerful
occupation for the unemployed and
languid hours of life; and how many
persons in these hours, for want Of in
nocent resources n now impelled to
coarse and brutal pleasure. How many
young men can be found in this city
who, unaccustomed to find q oompan-
ion IN a book, and Strangers to intel
lectual activity, are almost driven in
the long dull evenings Of winter to de-
PRAYING society.-New Y0Sk Ledger.

Lieut.. CIark'S Report.

Gen. McCook has just received the report of Lieut.. Clark, 10th Cavalry, who commanded the de- tachment of men and Indian scouts that has been in pursuit of the In dians that killed Chiquito Smith at McGowan's ranch on the 18th ut.
 Clark followed the trail for week over the toughest section of Arizo- na. Most of the time it was so rough that his men could not ride their horses, and two of his troop CTS lost their horses, which rolled down preciplces. On the 18th the Indian camp was discovered on the east slope of the Chiricahaa noun tains. While the scouts were sur rounding it one of them exposed himself and the party was discov- cred and fired upon, the Indians in the camp firing and disappearing.
 The scouts say they saw two In dians and recognized one of them as the Chiricahua named "Massay," who 1t will be remembered escaped from Geronimo's band at Spring field, Mo-, in 1887, while en route to Mount Vernon barracks, Ala bama, and who made his way on foot back to his native haunts in the Chiricahua mountains.
 The captured camp gave evidence of having been occupied for months and a large number of blankets, provisions and cooking utensils were captured. Apparently the h. dians saved only their guns and ammunition.
 The trail could be followed only for short distance, for it was soon lost among the rocks.-LosAngeles Express.

The NayajO Reservation.

A Washington dispatch of the 12th says: Acting Secretary Chan dler, of the Interior Department, to-day sent the House letter from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs recommending that an item be in- serted in the Indian Appropriation bill to enable the Secretary ot the Interior to negotiate with the Nav ajo Indians of New Mexico and Arizona for such changes of their reservation boundaries as may be deemed desirable.
 The Commissioner calls attention to the fact that for more than two years rumors have been rife of the existence of rich gold and silver deposits in the Carizo Mountains, within the Navajo reservation, and the Indians have been watching with keen apprehension the visits made by whites to the place for the purpose of prospecting; also state ments in the local newspapers to the effect that determined purpose ex- ists to take possession of the mines whether the Indian title is extin- guished or not.

Experimental Station.

A work is going on in southern Arizona at the present time which is of much importance, and very lit tie knowledge concerning its scope of usefulness has been dissemi- mated. Bulletin No. 1, issued from Tucson, gives one an idea of what a great undertaking has been in- augurated. Four stations have been established and others will be started as soon as practicable. The one at Tucson will be watched with more interest by the people of this section. It is located on the University grounds and the soil Is described as a gravelly loam overlying a soft lime rock of from two to SIX feet. Permanent water is found at so feet and a small piece of adjoining land with no hard pan and water at 30 feet. In speaking of the future work of this department the report says:
 "A large number of varieties of fruits, including nearly all that have been found of value i'll California, will be planted at the four stations during the winter, as we'll as other plants of economic interest, includ- ing the sugar beet, sugar cane, cot ton, grasses, forage plante, etc., etc., and the results obtained recorded and published from time to time.
 As soon as the chemical labora- tory is equipped, which will be about the last of January, we shall begin an examination of the waters of the several streams and of the wells in the Territory used for irri- gation, and a chemical analysis of soils and of other materials.
 Analysis of soils and of water of the Territory will be made free of cost when such examination is of public interest Correspondenceis solicited from persons interested in having such work done."

IT IS said the Territorial Supreme
 has decided that the Supervisors oi
 Mohave, Yavapai and Apache coun-
 ties had no right to compromise the
 tax suits with the Atlantic and Pa
 ciic Railroad Company. The ob- jection to these compromises was
 raised by the Attorney General of
 the Territory after they were made,
 on the plea that Supervisors had no authority to compromise suits in
 which the Territory was interested. Suit was commenced by Apache county against the railroad com panY to recover taxes during the time the present Attorney General was filling that position under Gov. Zulick. His voice was never heard in the case. So far as appearances went, he did not know such suits were pending, although they were taken to the Supreme Court of the Territory. If the Territory was in terested, she should have her Attor- ney General help the counties in these suits. If the Territory was interested, she should have helped the counties pay the costs of these suits. This county carried one of it's suits from the Territorial Su- preme Court to the Supreme Court of the United States. The Terri tory, as she was a party in interest according to this decision, should have come to the aid of Apache in these suits and borne her just pre- portion of the expense, But not a word was said-not a move was made, until the Supervisors, feeling the burden too great for the tax
 payers, determined to compromise these suits-did compromise them then the learned Attorney Gene ral all at once discovers that the Territory is interested, and makes a motion to set these compromises aside. It either took that legal lum- mary a long time to find out that the Territory had an interest in these suits, or he has been derelict in his duty. About the best thing the legislature can do is to vacate the office of Attorney General. He is certainly working a great hard ship on the people of this county by his present course.

The Bush Killing.

Further particulars of the killing
 of c. J. Bush in Nacosari canyon
 goes to show that the work was
 done by a white man with whom
 Bush had had trouble. He was on
 his way to Tombstone with a team
 and wagon. John Dart was a few yards behind, also with a team and
 vehicle. The country is thickly timbered. Dart had his attention called by Bush, who shouted to
 him to Hook outw Bush was point ing his shot gun ata clum of bush es and simultaneously shots from Bush's gun and from the bushes went off. Neither shot was efec- tive, but another shot from the brush and Bush fell off the wagon on one side, his gun falling to the on the other. A man arose from behind the brush and ran off into the timber. He was evidently an American. Dart went to Bush and found him dead, the bullet having entered his breast at his left nipple, passing through q watch and carry ing the works with it into his chest, tearing an ugly hole. The bullet did not come out.
 Dart went on 10 Smiths place, which was mile and half from the scene of the killing, and three men returned with him. They followed the trail of the murderer a short distance and came to where he had tied his horse behind a knoll be- fore sneaking down to the road, where he lay in wait for his victim. The horses tracks lead towards the Oso Negro. Two empty 45 50 shells were found behind the cIump of bushes where the shootingwas done. Bush had been warned to look out the day before and one man was heard to say that Bush would never get out of the country alive. He had had trouble with several per sons and was continually in hot wa ter, The killing occurred about six miles from Nacosari. Bush was well known in Tombstone, where he lived for a number of years. He was in the employ of the San Pedro company at the time of his death, His family resided there. The killing happened on the 5th inst, and his remains were taken 1 to the camp and buried on the following day,

Friday morning there arrived on the Sonora train party of Greeks who are about the flthiest and loudest smelling lot of human be- ings that one would see on a long journey. The customs officials did not deem them desirable citizens and refused to permit them to cross over on the American side. They claimed they were en route to the City of Mexico, but it was found that they had tickets for Tucson. The same outfit was not allowed to land in New York and went to Guaymas by steamer, hoping to get into the United States by this port. Tucson Star,

BUYERS of southern steer cattle, says the Northwestern Live Stock Journal, are already on the lookout for bargains in New Mexico and Texas. That there will be a de- mand for southern steers to fill northern ranges is patent to all ob- servers of range conditions, but the size of the demand will depend on the weather between this date and April 1st. Snowfall anu rain in quantitysulficient to insure an abun- dant growth of grass next summer will more than double the demand for steers, while little moisture will render present prospective buyers timid and curtail their purchases.

TUCsoN Star: According to Sec retary Noble, the pension bureau is now issuing between 14,000 and 15,- 0OO certificates a week. AS pension attorneys get S10 fee on each cer- tifcate, this means that the govern ment is paying from $140,000 to $150,0O0 week to pension lawyers. These are the patriots who swarm about the lobby and demand libe- raI pension laws for the soldiers. This fee should be cut off entirely and government agents transact the business without charge.
