 An item appeared in last even ing's paper as paid local adver- tisement, which was intended to convey the impression that visitors were not welcome al Sam Flint's dancing class.

Visitors are welcome, but parties desiring to participate in the dances are expected to pay for the same.

 "The total assessed valuation of the Prescott & Arizona Central rail way is Si2l ,9O6, and according to d Phenix organ, the $. F., P. & P. Co. offered Sl00,O00 for the entire road!" The above item is clipped from the Prescott Courier. Whether any such offer has been made or not of course this paper is not informed, but such an cffer would be a magnificent one when 1t is taken into consideration that the S42l, ,906 railroad is mort gagged for Sl ,550,000 The private indi- vidual who owned SI2l .906 worth of taxable property, upon which there was mortgage for over Sl,500000 would certainly feel himself pretty lucky to have some one come along and assume the mortgage and pay him Sl00,000 for the privilege.

The moaui Snake Dance.

A telegram from Fort Wingate gives the following description of the Moqui snake dance:
 George Wallace, one of the scouts attached to the Fort has just re- turned from the Moqui country in the northern part of Arizona, where he has been to see to what extent the reports of trouble among the Indians of that tribe are true. Wal lace says that the whole story is the result of two things: Indisposition of the Indians to have their children sent away from the reservation, and the annual snake dance. He was a witness of the rites of the dance, and gives a most graphic description of the orgies. This annual festival of the Most Ancient Order of Snakes dates back to a period in remote antiquity. It is not religious cere- mony, but is simply public demon stration of mysterious secret socie- tv similar to the Masonic Order in some respects.
 Wallace says that the participants were composed of two bodies of men, thirty-six of whom danced | with the snakes, and smaller num- Der who formed chorus of singing men. These latter were the first to come upon the scene, and were dressed in bright colored embroid. cred kits. sashes, anklets, and beau tifully tanned yellow fox skins hang ing down behind the body. They bore small rattles in one hand while in the other was held stick to which were fastened couple oi turkey feathers. This stick, they claim, carries the necessary protec, tion of ones life, and lets the snakes tutelary God know that none oi his progeny will be injured or car ried to remote lands.
 These men made four or five cir cults of the small plaza, and then took up position to the west side of it. In the center of the plazs was cottonwood shed. After they had arranged themselves properly in a state of extraordinary exulta. tion, the snake men came marching in with tremendous energy, a: though inspired to bound across the mesa with single stride. This mo ton adds greatly to the impressive ness of the serious scene and thrill: the spectators to an excited state oI mind for the ensuing act.
 These dancing men, like theil predecessors, made four circuit. around large rock which stands in the center of the place. They ther faced the chorus and a song wa: gone through with. After this cere mony the snake men were divided into groups of three, and one from each three went into the cottonwood shed and extracted snake from one of the logs, and after putting it into his mouth and firmly fixing it there with his teeth, he started. on hi, round. His companion, with hi. arm around his neck, kept the tai

 The attacks of Governor Wolfley's paper on Acting-Governor N. O. Murphy. are as malicious, vindictiye and as devoid of truth as the fight formerly made on the now ex-gov- ernor by John O. Dunbar in the Gazette. The editor of the Phenix Herald recently interviewed John \. T. Smith in regard to the accusations made by the Republican with the following result: In regard to the measures taken to dispose of bonds under the funding act the Herald editor called upon ex-Treasurer Hon. John Y. T. Smith today. Mir. Smith asserts very pointedly that every safe means were used to dispose of the bonds; that he advertised them, that he answered by letter and by telegram large number of inquiries respecting these bonds and says that there were several propositions made to the funding board to sell the bonds on a commission, but de nounces Mir. Woliley's statement as absolutely false" that any proPosi- tion to take the bonds was ever made to the funding board while he was a member of it, or up to April lst, 1891. There is not a man in the ter ritory. Mir. Wolfley excepted. that will discredit Mir. Smiths statement in the matter. In fact the evidence against Mir. Wolfley's statement IS overwhelming and vet he so far for, gets the honor of a business man and the decency of a gentleman as to re- l sort to these bald misrepresentation in his attacks upon the administra- ton in general and Acting Governor Murphy and the funding board in particular.
