consequence of the absence of vibra-

The Moderno. a paper printed in

The Moderno. paper printed in Spanish to promote closer relations between this country and Mexico, says: "Mexico does her share in en. couraging commerce with this coun- try, but the United States seems to think that all the encouragement must come from one side. This is hardly fair, to say the least. As an instance of :he willingness of the Mexican gov. ernment to promote commerce may be mentioned the many millions of dollars which she pays annually to railroads and steamship lines. Mexico has not, perhaps, one-tenth of the commerce and less per centage of de- .veloped wealth than the United States but she gives more substantial encour agement to commerce than this coun
 try with its boasted wealth and devel- opment.o

What a Unit I>.

A Tombstone miner has written a letter of inquiry to the Fl Paso Bull lion, asking for information concern ing unit. The answeris is here given {:
 "In buying and selling ores a unit IS understood to be one per cent of a ton or twenty pounds. The price per unit of lead paid by smelter is de- ermined by its location, transporta- ton and all other costs of delivering the lead into the New York market in d refined state, in order that the New York price for may be obtained. The smelters' price for lead in the sou h. west is usually forty cents per unit (twenty pounds) of the lead con tained in ore, when tho New York price is $4 per cwt. When it is $4.O5 the price per unit is Al cents; when quoted a, $40 the price per unit is 42 cents, and so on. For each advance of five cents the price per unit is increased one cent, and for each decline of five cents below $4 the price per unit is decreased one cent below 40 cents The price, however, is subject to varia. ton, according to the character of the ore treated"

THE STORM.
some Idea of it's Extent and
 Damage Done.

Latest reports show that the storm Is about over. Serious damage has been done to railway property in the southern part Uf California especially.
 The line entering Los Angeles from the north is in almost as bad condi- tion as last year. Much Of the new and costly work which required ten months to complete has suffered from the storm. Two hundred feet of the bridge west Of Los Angeles has been carried away. The tunnel at the en- trance of the canyon is damaged badly.
 On the Yuma division eight bents of the bridge were destroyed and the tracks were six feet out of line in many places.
 The bridge near Monterey was car ried away. Several washouts of track have been reported near Pomona and east of Colton g feet of tracks, round house, sidings and everything nova ble have been swept away by the waters. Between Banning and Colton several bridges have been weakened.
 On Santa Ana branch the tracks are under water for long stretch. and in some places have been washed away. On the south of Downing station the new railroad bridge has deen destroy ed and the town flooded. Between Seven Palm. and Yuma the track is in bad contition. The wires are in bad condition and nothing def- nite is known of the condition of roads in other directions.
 The Sunset route will probably be in operation before a week, but no tickets to California will be sold at present.
 The Atlantic and Pacific is washed out near Barstow and they have sus- pended the gale of tickets via Mojave for one week. The passengers will be sent east over the Central Pacific, the latter route being in good condition as is also the Shasta line.
 The Gila and Colorado rivers con- tinue rising and the highest notch will be reached by morning. The high tmhankment thrown up to save property still remains. Yuma is out of danger and there is no immedia e prospect of railroad communication.

GOOD LAW.
The Reasons Why Rehan Gets His Salary as Prison Supe rin. tendent.

The decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Behan against the pri son commissioners, to compel them to issue warrant for his salary while holding on to the office after his suc- cessor had been appointed, was an nounce hy Judge Kibby, who said:
 "Tha' as a general rule the right to the emolument Of an office is incident to the title to the office. It has been almost universally held by the courts of this country and of England that a person who, although he may actually perform the duties of all office, and have been possessed of all the insignia thereof, yet he cannot recover or com pei payment of the emoluments of the office unless he shal! also have been lawfully invested with the office itself. In nearly, if not quite all those cases, however, in which that doctrine is as- serted, there was de jure officer, one who was legally entitled to the office
 "This doctrine depends upon the very obvious rule of public policy that is, that no person shall assume an office or attempt to perform it's du- ties until he shall have been legally appointed or elected thereto, and hay. qualified therefore as required by law; that if he do 50 he does so at his own risk and compensation there fore will be withheld and given to the one who has been elected or appointed and qualified. There may be some excep- tion to this rule. They are, however, not necessary to be considered in de- termining this case. In this case Be- han was not legally appointed to the office he claimed, although he was ap. pointed in pursuance of Territorial law that had been conceded for mum. Der of years to be valid. The office itself existed but no valid appoint ment had been made theresa. There Was, in other words, during the period for which he now claims the salary, no person legally appointed thereto. The court are of the opinion that where person in good faith and pursuant to d law which. though it is unconstitu- 'ional so far as the manner of the ap- pointment is concerned, but is other wise valid, and in pursuance of an ap- pointment hereunder assumes that office and performs its duties and there being no person legally appointed thereto, is entitled to the emoluments of office.
 "The prayer for the writ is there fore granted and the board is ordered to audit the claim up to the time of the appointment and qualification of Ingalls, to that office, less he salary already paid"

THE DOUBLE MURDER.
Scme Facts Elicited by a COrO-
 ner's Jury at Wilcox.

The mystery surrounding the recent murder of two Mexicans near Sul- phur Springs deepens with the addi- tional light thrown upon it by the testimony taken before a coroner's jury at Wilcox. From the Stockman the following facts are taken:
 "The men, Manuel Castillo and Guadalupe Castillo, cousins, came to Wilcox several months since from Sil yer City, New Mexico, and while here had no vocation, claiming they were looking for work. Tuesday morning, weeK ago, the men left here, telling MT. Ruth they were going to Tomb stone. to receive some money for a certain piece of real estate they had recently disposed of there, while other evidence showed they went for the purpose of looking for work. By a letter recently written, however, it would appear that the main object of the visit was to see the brother of one of them, who was recently committed to the county jail from Wilcox for lar ceny.
 "From the time of their lea ing here no word was received from them until the report of their being found dead, and it is supposed from the lapse of time that they were on their way back to Wilcox.
 "From the evidence of Messrs. Re- maud and Caldwell, it appears that the men had camped Saturday night near where their bodies were found. and earl, Sunday morning were surprised by their murderer or murderers and ran about hundred yards before being shot down. The one was shot through the right arm, the ball lodging in his right side, and a second shot delivered from close range in the temple, his face being powder burned. The other man was shot once under the left eye. Several A calibre center-fire Winches- ter shells were found close to the bodies, also an old bone-handled knife, which was recognized as belonging to one of the murdered men. On ac- count of the recent heavy rains all signs of any struggle were destroyed. The pockets of the men had been rihed, and their pistols. belts. blankets and saddles were missing; howe, CT, it is not believed the motive for the deed was robbery, as it is known fact that but very little money, if any, was in their possession"

Who Did ut?

A representative of the PROsPECToR
 was allowed to be present this after
 noon at an interview by the Sheriff
 with Carrillo, a brother of Manuel,
 who was killed SO mysteriously last Sunday at Sulphur Springs. He did not know till after he had been ques- toned what it was all about, and not until the Sheriff pulled some letters from drawer, which were found upon the dead man, did the truth dawn upon him that his brother had been killed; then he wept like child. He contradicts the story that his brother came to Tombstone, and says that he owns mule team and was freighting to Globe. He knows of no one who owed his brother grudge and can not account for the killing. It is certain that the two men never came to Tombstone. Sheriff Kelton telegraph
 ed his deputy at Wilcox to go to the scene of the killing and investigate every circumstance. This was done as soon as the report reached here last Tuesday and other steps to sift the matter have been taken. It is the opinion of several cattle men in the valley that the men were caught with stolen stock in their possession and fight ensued. Another theory is that they were followed from Wilcox and killed for their guns and saddles by some of their countrymen. They never owned property in Tombstone | and never came here.
