TIMBER LANDS OF ARIZONA.

"The extent of the timber belt oi this territory is very little known out side of our own people Many people , imagine Arizona a region of treeless plains, bare and bireless mountains but the fact is th,t few countries oi che west have been so generously sn dowed by an abundant tiInber supply and the magnificent forest of pine, o:k cedar in the Mosollon, the Sierra Blanca, the San Francisco, the Santa Citllina, the Chiricahua, and other ranges; are surpassed by few states or territories west of the Missouri.
 Nearly all the lumber required in the construction of the Mexican Cen tral railroad, came from the forests of Northern Arizona and Los Angeles. "The treeless plains of southern Cal ifornia, AS well as the valley of the Rio Grande down to Fl Paso, receive the largest portion of their lumber supply from the mills In the San Francisco mountains.

The following is the way the Phoe' nix Herald talks about statehood: Statehood will give an impulse to -Ariz- ona's development in mines, live stock and agriculture that she never can get till she is a State; it will encourage the confidence of capitalists, bring her railroads, give her public school system a standing and turn into her cofers millions of dollars that she would not otherwise get. Upon her admission as a State 100000 acres of land will turned over to her for University pur- poses outside of the sixteen and thirty sixth sections for public school pur- poses. and the probabilities are that the entire area of aiid land will be turned over to Ter for her own purposes Arizona cannot afford to remain a Territory any longer than she is com pelled, to do SO.

Two rather interesting decisions were handed down in the supreme court of the United States this week. The fist affirmed the constitutionality of the orignal package law. The sec. odd detirmined point raised by Mir. Cleveland while president. That off. cicial removed territorial judge of the United States for Alaska, and the decapitated official sued for his salary on the ground that it was not in the power of the president to remove a federal judge during the term of which he was commissioned. The supreme court, Judge Hsriand delivered the opinion of the bonch, holds that a terr- itorial Judge is not federal judge, and that the president consequently only exercised one of his rightful powers in making the removal in ques- tion. There wore thee dissenting opinions in this case, Justices Field, Gray and Brown, Justice Field main tainod tbat the mere will of the presi- dent was not sufficent to remove judge of court created by the United States, and that the constitution did not contemplate that judge should be responsible to any man for his continuance in office. It seems to him that some of his brethren overlook ed the charter of the idical branch of the Government when they made distinctioa against the courts of Terr- ltones, tbsss courts hla similar pow,

TIE grand jay or Maricopa county made a report last week in which they made severe char ,es against the sheriff, supervisors, recorder .and the county physician. These charges have not been proven, and am said to have been made out of pure m ,lice. The jury is turned over by the press of Phoenix for their york. The Gazette says: ''There never was grand jury impan- neled but what thought the superstruc- ture of the universe rested upon their shoulders, when as a matter of fact no one gives any attention to the gran nies, aud the public have rightfully came to the conclusion years ago that this silly system should be abolished " The Republican sarcastically remarks "That Maricops grand jury made a fatal mistake in not returning an in
 dictment against Matt Quay of Penn sylvanis and the Akhoond of Scwat of Asia. Both these gentlemen were as much in the province of this grand jury as Dr. Toney, who should have been Investigated The fact that the Akhoond of Scwat is not repub. lican may have preserved his bacon. ["

---------------------- SAYS ITS GOUD LAW.

In Phoenix on the 18th instant, Chief Justice Cooling rendered de, cision in the case of the National Bank vs Supervisors to restrain trauster ct monies from general fund account to the new county expenss fund created by Council bill Is of the 18th lsgislat- lature. The injunction prayed for was denied.
 THE DECISION:
 "My theory is that no statute can be held to intend to put it beyond the power of the author. ies to keep the courts openei. AS have said o:fore, unless the coust' are in operation. mort gages are not worth anything, notes are not worth anything and lfe Is not secure. Tue courts are the prote ;tion to lie and roperty, and any statute general in it's terms cannot be con strued as intending to close the dours of the courts. Neither can it be pre- sumed that the officers are going to perform their duties at their iudiv. idual expense without receiving any compensation 1 think the necessary ex- penses of ope,utlns court and carry ing on the government of "A couaty, are preferred claims. think whe.l tax Is levied for a current year the money collected is appropriated by the levy, first to the necessary compul- sory expenses ot the county, and after that any surplus may go to discharge the previous indebtedness of the county. 1 do not think the Board of Supervisors have the power to take the money that Is necessary to pay the operating expenses of the county, the run,hng current expens' of the coauty, aud to appropriate it to the payment of old deot and leave the treasury without any means for carry. Ing on the courts of the country. If 50, If they have that power there Is no compulsion that sheriff shali pay the money out of his own pocket to pay the fare of prisoners iron PhoenIx to Yuma. There IS no law requiring the sheriff out of his own pocket to pay the board of prisoners in the jail in Phoenix, and it cannot be presumed that he will keep them locked up there and let them starve, and if 1t were in che power of the Board of Supervisors to appropriate the money collected for the purpose of the operation of the gov ernment of the county to the payment of old debts and leave the treasury empty, that would Ie the result. 1 cannot conceive that law ever con templ,ted result of that kind.
 "My theory is that the necessary current expenses, thas is, the compui- sory expenses must be first paid, when they are paid the deots of previous time should be paid, and if they are debts of a character; they are necessary expenses, that they do not come within the contemplation of the Harrison act and are therefore valid debts and must be paid sooner or later and 1 know of no reason, unless there IS some reason growing out of the facts set out in the pleadings, why the warrants should not be issued by the board of supervisors; but not to interfere with ths pay pent of the current expenses.

A River That Flows Inland.

There is an interesting instance of
water flowing iuland from tho sea. 1t
is found on the island Of Cephalonia,
in the Ionian sea, west of Greece. Tho
phenomenon occurs on the southwest
lide of the island near the small town
Iind port of Argosioli, Two streams
flow at short distss.Ee from one an
other, straight from the seq, for few
yards, and then follow different
courses. One turns at right angles
and runs for some ways parallel with
the shore and close TO it. Then it turns
again toward the sea, and running, of
course, deeper and deeper, doubles
completely under itself, thus forming
a loop, and finally passes out of sight
deep down in landward direc-
ton. In its course it turns two -four
mills, which will give an idea of the
strength of the current. There is no
tide in the sea here, and the flow of
the salt water brook is perfectly
steady and continuous. The other
stream disappears in the ground in a
similar way. The curious phenomenon
has not attracted much attention be-
cause Argostoli is not one of the reg
ular tourist routes. No one knows
what becomes of this water, but it
probably flows in some subterranean
reservoir, and it may have something
to do with the earthquakes that occur
in that neighboohood once in a long
while, or, possibly, it feeds some dis
tsnt volcano, for, as is well known,
the most generally accepted theory of
the cause of volcanic eruptions is, that
they are due to the steam. generated
from water, admitted through cracks
in the earth's crust, or in some other
way.-[Goldthwaite's Geographical
Magazine,
