Heavy Suit.

On June 25th, 1891, Messrs, Barnes & Martin, as attorneys for Chas, c. Lewis, of London, Eng land, flied complaint against the county of Pima to recover the sum of one hundred thousand dollars, being the amount claimed as due for interest upon the county bonds issued to the Arizona Narrow Gauge Railroad Company. The trial of the case is set for November 9th. 1.-the county loses the case it means not only that 1t must pay one hundred thousand dollars as interest on tbe bonds, but that it must pay the bonds themselves, amounting to one hundred and if ty thousand dollars, and the inter est that will accrue 10 the time of maturity, amounting in all to about four hundred thousand dollars.
 Again, if MT. Charles c. Lewis is successful in his suit, the board of supervisors of Pima county would have to levy a special tax to pay the hundred thousand dollar judge ment.
 As the issuance of these bonds was illegal, the board of supervi- sors should resist their payment by all legal means, and should make a hard and determined fight in the courts. Eminent and able counsel should be employed to assist the district attorney, as he has other duties to perform, and cannot de- vote his entire time to the case. Certainly the responsibility of a case of such magnitude should not rest OF one man.-Tucson Citizen.

Lest Treasures Located.

A press dispatch from Indepen- dence, Missouri. gives the following interesting bit of Arizona news:
 "An expedition is being fitted out here by James B. Cusenberry, a wealthy miner, to go to the south ern part of Arizona in search of the "lost mine," a marvelously rich mine worked a century or more ago by the Spaniards, but who were driven away by the hostiles. He formerly lived in that region, and while chasing a deer through the mountains near Arivaea some years ago, ran across the mine and exam ined some of the quartz on the dump, which he found to be a very fine quality of ruby quartz. He had not heard of the "lost mine" at that time and supposed it to be an abandoned mine. Two years ago he met United States Judge Barnes, who told him the story of the mine, how it had been worked a century ago by the Spaniards, and their being driven away by the savages. Charts show ing it's location were preserved which were found years ago among some church papers in Spain. They were brought to this country by a Jesuit priest in 1887, who located a large amount of bullion, but could not find the mine. MT. Cusenberry is satisfied the mine he found is the right one. The party will leave here Tn October"

Ostrich Farming.

According to the best authority, there is no other country than this, raising young under four years old. The old bird on the Harbert farm is setting on fifteen eggs that began matching yesterday, which, should they all hatch, will make over forty chickens brought out by this bird before she is four years old. Ari- zona leads the world in more in dustries than one and 1t will only be short time till ostrich farming is one of the leading businesses in Maricopa county. It is not gener- ally known yet that this country IS so we'll adapted to ostrich farming, but when it is found the experi- ment here has proven such grand success, there will be a regular boom in the business.-Phenix Gazette.

Prospector A. D. Brewster is in from Wickenburg today. On his way hither he ran out of water, While looking for some he stum- bled over an immense mineral vein somewhere near the Agua Fria. The ledge crops out as high as an ordi- nary red liquor bar and is as wide as half a street. The mineral in part is heavy galena and in part carries something that may be almost na' tive silver. Afterwards Miner Brew ster got water but meanwhile wealth untold may have been his lucky strike.-Hhenix Herald.

THE Phoenix Gazette speaks of woman suffrage in the following plain, sensible way; It is a pity that some women have so little ap- preciation of home and it's pleas ures that they are ever raising the cry of equal rights with men, As a general thing these women, poor things, are childless creatures who do not know the honor and the gentle emotions which the little mother produces in the breast of women who are raising up our tu- ture men of church and state. The less grasshopper legislation in Ari- zona the better.

The fee system with office holder, is a wrong one and should be abolished and salary paid in all cases where officers are liable to over step the bounds of reason to make ends meet. The wholesale arrests of persons charged with not living up to the Edmunds Act may be carried too far and where 1t IS, trouble is liable to follow. The senator from Vermont must have had the Green mountain boys in hls mind when he framed the famous bill bearing his name. When a man or woman in Arizona is falsely ac- cused of transgressing the laws of society, something drops besides tears.-Prospector.

All the returns have been made in the summons in the suit of Camou vs. the settlers on the grant claimed by them. It will be now in order for the settlers to defend the suits at an expense to them selves. It Is dawning upon the peo- pie each day that the land court bill is simply a bill for the relief of the claimant and not the settler, otherwise It would not allow a claimant to commence a suit against the settlers while it-the land court-is practically in session to settle just such controversies without expense to the innocent settler, who took 1t for granted that Uncle Sam was on his side when he drove the first stake on the spot he calls home.-Tombstone Prospec' tOr

THE Tombstone Prospector puts it thus: The Phoenix Republican sails into Mark Smith, and repeats the old campaign cry, What has he done for Arizona?' The Prospector has not time to write to the editor of the Republican, but he can find out what MT. Smith has done by asking the industrial classes of Ari- zona who sent him to Congress three times for what he had done.

The report of the rainfall in inches for ten years in Arizona, shows that in the southern part as we'll as the northern and central portion, the bulk of the precipita- tion is in the winter months or be- ginning January 1st and ending June 31st. While July and August are the wettesG months of the year, January and February are a close second while the month of Sep tember shows a very slight fall, be- ing an average of about three-quar- ters of an inch for the month. An other peculiar feature ofthe record of ten years IS the fact that from the year 1880 to the year 1884 there was a greater fall of rain, as record ed by the government observers throughout southern Arizona than for any other four years on record. These years will be remembered as four years of the greatest activity in mining circles in the territory's history, especially was it so in the southern part where there was to be heard in every mountain range an almost continuous report of the discharge of giant powder. It is not within reason to suppose that it was this fact which caused the heavy precipitation in these years.-Prospector.

According to the Yuma Sentinel

According to the Yuma Sentinel several old prospectors are getting ready to go into the different ranges of mountains below the boundary line to prospect during the coming fall and winter. That their chances are good there is no possible doubt The area of lhe country covered with placer gold, that has never been washed or worn, but rough and often in quartz, indicates that it once existed in the formations oi that section. The veins of silver ore found in the breaks of the lime, stone and slate belts, and the gold bearing quartz found in the belts ot porphyry and schist present coun' try to the prospector worthy of his careful attention.

There are some wild shooters around town who had better either improve their aim or go out on the desert to practice, instead of on the bridge. A few evenings ago as Frank Wightman and wife were sitting in front of their house at the Quartermasters, a shot whizzed over their heads, fired by some one on the railroad bridge. Such wild shooting gives the town bad name. Yuma Times.

Questionable economy that of the prison management, in cutting down the salaries of guards $15 per month, and allowing each guard his room rent, board and washing This economy operates backward, and rather increases the running ex- penses of the prison than decreas- ing same. Is this the economy sev- eral of our esteemed republican contemporaries and the Tucson Star are talking about?-Gazette.

THE Scientific American says it was long thought that the water from melted STOW was the purest of all. The idea has proven incorrect, as the reverse is the case. Snow Is really purifier of the atmosphere, attracting from it as it falls, various impurities, and these are found in the snow water.

Arizona is a whole nation of it.

Arizona is a whole nation of it. self in extent and characteristics. Surveyor Chlllson, just from the Navajo country, in the northeastern portion of the territory. tells of top ography certainly different from that seen in southern Arizona, The country is all sand says he. It rises in great plateaus, one above another, and separated by great chasms hundreds of feet deep. This region has evidently once been a great forest and the woods petrifed and are largely buried. Great logs of petriied wood can be seen, many broken off as evenly as though sawed, and bearing strong resem- blence to shingle bolts. Large de- posits of sea shells are also found in the region.-Yuma Times.

Iron ore abounds in Yuma coun- ty. This being true why should not this valley with it's immense water power become the centre oi great iron manufacturing industries with the inexhaustible coal fields oi Apache county and the Gallup re- zion on one hand and the iron fields of Yuma county on the other. The only thing needed in the premises to bring out this industry is rail road between the points named, which must pass through this val ley, and that road is already pro jected by two companies, one ot which has considerable of the di- rect line built in California and the other is already Q great railroad corporation.-Phenix Herald.

An Important Decision.

As will be seen by reference to the supervisors proceedings a war rant has been ordered drawn in ta- of Sheriff Kelton for balance due him in accordance with decision of Judge Sloan.
 The circumstances connected with the case:are important as pre- cedent to govern the actions of oth- CT counties as we'll as Cochise, in the matter of compensatiDg their sheriffs. Sheriff Kelton took a number of prisoners to Yuma. He took with him deputy guard, and in due time put in his bill for mile age for each prisoner besides his own and that of his deputy, besides the expenses of the trip, fares, etc. This the board refused to allow claiming that the mileage on each prisoner was not warranted by law. Sheriff Kelton took exception to this rullng and an agreed case was submitted to Judge Sloan who has decided that the board must pay mileage on every prisoner convey ed.-Tombstone Prospector.

The Tucson Citizen says that the Chinaman Flang Ting, was taken to Nogales by Deputy Marshal Jno. Paul for the continuation of his ex- animation. The Celestial told a story in jail indicating that he is an undeserving victim of immigra- tion laws and international usages. He says he is, and has been for years, a restaurant keeper in No- gales, Arizona. His business re- quired his presence often on the Sonora side and he was allowed to cross and return by verbal under standing with the line officials. His last trip over was disastrous. On his return Line Rider Smith picked him up as an unlawful immigrant his incarceration and present woes following. He IS very fearful ol being returned to China.
