VEST AND CAMERON.
The Disclosures of the Southern Senator
Are Explained.


I. c. Crawford in New York Tribune.I
1t has been one of the puzzles in the political
world why Senator Vest, of Missouri. men-
toned the name Of Senator Don Cameron in
the investigation of the alleged silver
pool. 1t is SO rare that any official wit
ness before a committee volunteers any
thing not concerning himself, that
everyone has wondered why Senator Vest
could have brought himself to say anything
about Mr.. Cameron in this case. particularly as
the two are great friends. 1t is now explained
that the Senator mentioned the fact because
Senator Cameron requested him tn.
The Pennsylvania Senator had been sum-
preferred to have the fact made known that he
once had speculative interest in silver.
through the declaration of friend, rather
than to be called upon to make the original
statement himself in answer to the direct
question which would have been asked him as
soon as he appeared upon the stand.

Good Work.

This office was in receipt of dispatch yesterday morning giving the gratify- ing news that the district bill, includ- ing Cochise and Graham in one dis trict, had passed the council. Cochise has long been subjected to the mortifi cation of being first-class county, in name only. Ever since she was cut off from Pima, she has been paying tribute to the old county seat of Tue. son. There was great rejoicing among all citizens that our legislators had determined that she should throw off the yoke and assert her rights when the time had arrived for her to do so. This measure means the keeping at home of $5O,OOO per year which has been annually dumped in the pockets of our parents, Tucson and Pima. Al though Cochise is not 2l years of age her guardians have proved that they have reached the age of reason.

Geronimo Elisaldo, returned from his trip down the Gulf of California Monday. He went as far south as Los Angeles bay, nearly 300 miles soush of here in small open boat P feet in length and 54 feet wide. He and his companion left here the first of November last, called at San Felipe Diggs Point, Point Fermin, Fermin Bay and at the upper end of Los An geles bay. They saw wrecked schooner from San Diego, loaded with fence wire lying on the beach, Llso the rema ins of the Mclean and Sykes boat.
 They met two Americans south of San Felipe who crossed the gulf to Port Isabel. MT. E. thinks that sec tion of the country is a good one to prospect in. at least good enough ss that he will return there and try it.

PHENIX, March IT. The governor has signed the Tomb stone economy bill which is to take immediate effect.
 He has also signed the 20.year rail- road exemption bill, which exempts from taxation all railroads hereafter constructed, for a term of twenty years provided they perform certain obligations.
 The apportionment bill which was passed in the council over the gover- nor's veto met with disaster in the house, the latter failing to pass it over his head. When the vote was an nounced and the declaration made that the governor had been sustained in his veto, the republicans went wild with joy.

1.-THE PROGRESSIVE l6th.'
Thi- is the Name of the Song
 We'll Sing.

The old worn out song is given up just now from thousands of throats of Arizona citizens, the words of which are: "What has the legi .lature doneY why. nothing.". Let us zee about that:
 They have passed the Australian Ballot bill, one of :he systems which will do away with tine voting of men by one dictator, to suit his ideas.
 They have cut down the salaries of Territorial officers over one half. and abolished useless ones.
 They have given to tex ridden cities oi small population, an opportunity to curtail expenses.
 They have passed economy bills in places where extravagance has reigned heretofore.
 They have fostered the building of railroads by exempting them from taxation for term of years.
 They have thrown out an induce ment for capital to come to our Ter ritory and erect machinery for the manufacture of beet sugar by exempt. ing them from taxation for ten years.
 They have turned deaf ear to all county division jobs. It is the first legislature in the his- tory of this Territory which has dared to pass freight and fare bill, cutting rates down nearly one half.
 Money which has been squandered on fat offices has been turned into a channel of usefulness by offering in- ducements for hundred different undertakings for developing our re- sources.
 Or the Cochise county delegation we feel justly proud, they have guard ed our interests and fought for old Cochise as true as any men could have done. MT. Vickers in the council has proved trustworthy servant and unselfish devotee to our welfare. The solid democratic delegation in the lower house will bring home many victories on its banner for their col = stituents.
 Yes, they have done we'll; place the record side by side with any previous legislative assembly in Arizona's his tory, and the Progressive 18th" will shine the brighter for the compari- son.

No man who respects his wife and cherishes his home as he should, can be found who would willingly submit to have the barriers broken down and see her subjected to the humiliating discomfiture of sitting on jury with men and women whom he would not allow to cross the threshold of his abode. A law granting the franchise to women should entail all other bur- dens attending the granting of suffrage to men. Let women decide for them selves whether they wish to sink into the pool, before they are dragged m against their wishes.

A Rich Strike.

Southern California is ablaze with excitement over the rich gold fields discovered at Orc Grande, in San Der nardino county. The Index says:
 "The gold bearing vein is from two to eight inches wide. In taking out the rock fruit can full of nuggets has been picked up. Six hundred pounds of the richest quality of ore has been sacked and sent to Los An geles. Two tons of the second class ore. going $2O.0 900 to the tor, has been taken to the surface. The vein is getting richer and wider all the time and it is safe to say that nothing equal ing it in richness was ever found in the state.
 The mine is located in a country similar to Leadville, being a carbon. ate ore carrying silver, gold and le On top the mine was not rich, and nothing unusual was found until the the shaft was sunk 200 feet. Since the discovery was made ten days have elapsed, and men have been carefully saving the precious metal, but as work progresses the mine grows richer. The shaft is down POS feet.
 A second shaft. one hundred feet distant form the other, has been sunk to depth of over on @ hundred feet where vein three feet wide is found going from $2,oOO to $6,OOO per ton in both gold and silver.

CAN IT BE? Geronimo Said to Have Re. turned to the Sierra Madre
 Mountains.
A Mexican Brings the Report WHo
 Says He Saw Him.

There are many old frontiersmen who believe that Geronimo is back in his old haunts in the Sierra Madre mountains. The authorities do no seem to know where he is. The bal. ance of the tribe are at Fort Wingate, a short distance from San Carlos, but the old murdering outlaw is not with them. Not until last night, however, did any reliable news come to hand concerning this rumor.
 A Mexican who has been in the pla- cer district where the new excitement came up last night and reports tha last Monday, March 9th, four Apaches came to his camp and asked for some flour, saying that they would not harm him or his people as long as they would not modest them. The Mexican swears that the leader of the party was no other than Geronimo. He asked him if his name was not Geron- imo and he answered, yes. He told the Mexican that he spent all of his time in Florida in trying to deceive the pale face and worked on the senti. ment of the women to aid him in get ting sent back to San Corlos. The entire band, he said, started for Fort Wingate, but he escaped and made his way to San Carlos, where he shook hands with his people and started for the Sierra Madres. He said also that the balance of his companions would join him this summer as fast as they could get away, and that he had sworn vengeance against the whites for send. ing hlm to the swamp lands. He said the "Great Father" at Washington has good heart and is friend of the red man. After procuring the flour he paid for it out of c sack containing gol'l twenties and smaller pieces which one of the men carried upon his back. In the sack win the money was a small Bible with his name written in a fine handwriting on the fly leaf and underneath it was written in his own handwriting, "Jesus loves me, this know"
