The Cost.

The Mohave Miner disposes of one of the fimsy objections to state in the following concise and truth ful paragraph.
 The additional cost of state government is so triding that it is not worth talking about. The Jour nal-Miner takes us to task about adding a heavy burden to the al- ready overtaxed people. Now let us look into the matter from husi ness standpoint. The additional cost has been figured at about S46,- GOO. one sixth of one per cent, on S2S, 100000, (the total amount of taxable property in the territory ) is little more than $46000. Now for the sake of illustration, We will say John Doe has property valued at one thousand dollars. The tax rate in this county is $3.3O on the one hundred dollars. Therefore Mr. Doe would have to pay the sum of $500 tax. Had he to pay the additional burden" it would just cost him $1.665 more, or d total of
 34.663, With 2S,O00,00O of taxa ble property the additional cost of state government will be one-sixth of one per cent. The amount will be so small that at the present time it will not be noticeable by taXpay- CTS. Should our assessment roll run up to $7O,OO0,OOO, as acting governor Murphy says it should've wonder if the kicker could find the additional cost with a microscope.

Among the most attractive novel, ties brought from our sister Repub- lie of Mexico, are the feather mats made by the, Yaqui Indians, who live near Guaymas. The mats are made from the breasts of large sea birds, six of them contributing to make one mat. The usual size be- ing 36x72 inches Some of these re- gently brought from GuaEmas were especially pretty, being made of skins of the Albatross. They are naturally too delicate for other pur- poses than ornament, but are very prettily adapted for screens by the MeXicans, who also use them for mural ornaments. The gray cranes also make very pretty mats and all sorts of birds are said to contribute to the large variety seen in Mexico. -Prospector.

THE Tombstone Prospector says :; If Arizona does not want statehood and should so decide at the election in December, her population will diminish and her property values depreciate just as they did in New Mexico after the defeat of her con stilution. In the latter Territory every one now clamors for state hood. Those who opposed it two years ago have seen the practical effect of their error and acknowl- edge 1t.

It seems that the pumping plant recently erected at Yuma by the Yuma Pumping Irrigation compa- ny, which has been completed and in operation for some months past
 is turning out we'll as was expected and is emonstrating that Water can be pumped from the Colorado river and conducted to the rich bot tom lands below Yuma proftably. Judge E. NJ. Sanford, the general manager and Harry Carpenter, su- perintendent of the pumping enter prise at that place, were in town yesterday, and purchased a carload of mules, and carloads of hay and grain which wereshipped this morn- ing on the Phoenix and Maricopa railroad. These animals are to be used by the company these gentle man represent, in clearing land and preparing it to plant vegetables this fall and fruit trees next spring.

\ Duel to the Death.

San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 19,- Vic tariano Velasco and Espinaro Com ires, two young Mexican gallants of this city, have for some time been paying their respects to the same Spanish senorita. She is a handsome young lady, but refused to encourage one suitor more than the other.
 The two rivals decided to settle the contest by a duel to the death. They chose small room in an old unoccupied hut in the Mexican quarter for the scene ot the combat. They went there alone at midnight Saturday night and stripping to the skin began the battle, each using a long stiletto.
 They had been fighting for some time when the attention of a police man was attracted to the place by the noise. He forced an entrance and found both men in a terrible condition. They were each covered with blood which was flowing from many cuts. They were separated and both taken to the hospital. They will probably both die.

The "Pr0tected" Sheep.


 In his latest report Uuncle Jere- miah Rusk has much to say of mushrooms and toadstools, and he is quite eloquent ont he subject of making it rain by shooting off the surplus, but on the number of sheep in Ohio and Iowa and the price of their wool under the Me- Kiui ey bill his silence is discreet and deep. AS Uncle Rusk is no more inclined to talk about sheep than is Mir. Mckinley, we are ob- liged to go back to the reports of his predecessors for information of the deadly effects of Rppublicanism on sheep in Ohio and Iowa. By ex- amining the statistics of agricul- ture from the administration of Andrew Johnson until the year of Harrison's election we find that under Johnson, in 1867, Ohio had 7,l59,177 sheep, while in 1888 it had only 4,O65,556. In 1867 Iowa had 2,399, ,425; in 1888 only 540,700. In these twenty one years of high-tariff taxation on wool and woolens Ohio lost 3,O92 ,621 sheep, and Iowa lost 1,857,728. Uncle Rusk withholds the figures of losses under the Harrison admin istration and the Mckinley bill, but as the price of Ohio wool has been lowered by the increased use of cotton and shoddy no one will be likely to conclude that the num- Der of Ohio sheep is increasing un- der the bill.
 In 1859, under what the Re- publicans call Democratic free trade, ,"medium American wool sold for 59 cents; in 1880 for 49 cents, while on Wednesday of this week. under the Mckinley bill, Boston prices were "29.cents for Ohio X 30 to 31 cents for xxx and above"
 This shows what the substitution of very coarse wools, of cotton and of shoddy under high taxes does for wool prices. As the tariff has been made higher and higher the number of sheep in Iowa, Ohio, Illinois. Indiana and other States of the Central West has steadily decreased, while the people of these States pay for imitation woollen garments of coarse woOls mixed with cotton and shoddy higher prices than they would have to pay for the best all-wool goods under a Democratic tariff.-The Republic.

A DISPATCH from Rio Grande City Tex, dated the 18th inst. says: The Mexican Consul here, MT. Jose F.
 Gonzales, requires all citizens to get pass for the other side, granting them only to those he deemss struly loyal. Without one, the passer will find himself in deadly peril in Mex leo. Three Mexicans were shot at the Guardado de Firiba ranch on the river nine miles above here on the Mexican side at 2 a. m., last Sunday. Two had just crossed from Texas, having been working in the vicinity of Victoria. The other, Juan Basean, was from Mier, an army meat contractor, it is said. The first two unconscious of the ne- cessity for them, crossed without consular permits, and were at once arrested at their homes on the bank by a cavalry picket. Gen. Lorenzo Garcia, on his way from Camargo to Mier with an escort the night they were shot, when notified of their arrest, ordered their summary execution, which took place in the presence of their pleading families
 The shots that ushered them into eternity and the cries of the wives and children for mercy were plainly heard on the Texas side. A num- Der of families at tn point, terror stricken, fled to this side, where they are camping in Inc open air.

THE National View says: The New York Chamber of Commerce has just declarced itself against any and all coinage of silver, and yetno one of its members can point to a place where, or tell of a time when there was too much silver money in use for the public good. If Eng fish capitalists should come to America with $1O0,O00, 900 to invest it would be hailed with delight. What is the objection to our own people digging the same amount from the earth and coining it?

ON the subject of negro demo- crats even the partisan Globe Dem ocrat talks phllosophically, saying "We are unable to see anything alarming in the intelligence that large numbers of negroes in Penn sylvania and in few of the south ern states are going over to the de- mocracy. Some of the republican papers are condemning this seces- sion, but this judgement will hardly be justified by n broad view of the situation. Partisan divisions on lines of race, nationality or class, are to be deprecated and ought to be opposed. The country requires no negro party, native American party, Irish party or farmers party. All such divisions are demoralizing, eorrupting and harmful. There was a necessity at one time for the ne groes to act together in a political way. That was during the var and reconstruction period, No necessi- ty exists now, or has existed l., tko past few years"

The Sa!tOn Sea.

A telegram from LosAngeles says : Dr. P. G. Cotter, of Yuma, in a con versation in reference to the present condition of the Salton Sea, said that 1t is estimated that nine -tenths of the Colorado river is flowing in- to it. The Sea is not increased in depth by this feeding, but it has lowered about three inches. It is now from four to seven feet in depth in several parts.
 The river leaves its bed about fourteen miles below Yuma. where the elevation above sea level is 143 feet. It flows in precipitous plunges many of them in the nature of ca. taracts, down dozens of feet, wear ing away the soil where 1t flows and making the soil constantly more precipitous near the break in the river. It is therefore the fact that to reach the bottom of the Sal ton basin. the distance of 137 feet, the height that the break is above the sea, plus 263 feet, the depth that the Salton basin is below the sea, one must descend 400 feet.
 Dr. Cotter states that the Cobra do river water is very heavily charged with solids, and that it will precipitate a half inch of alIuvium to every six feet of water. This matter is constantly being washed down the river and it is forming a bank in the river bed just beyond the break, so that it will shortly be that the entire body of the river will be turned into Salton sea. The win ter floods, he thinks, will raise Sal ton sea until it becomes a lake of 300 feet in depth and 150 miles long, and find it's outlet through the bed of New river into the Gulf of California.
 The cause of this break is ex- plained by the doctor in this man. ner: The Colorado river flows as far as a point few miles above Yuma directly south. At Yuma ii meets the Gila river and turns to the west at right angles. There il strikes small mountain called Pi- lot Knob and is changed again back to south course. Recently, instead of flowing to an acute angle at Pi- lot Knob, the river has been mak- ing d turn from Yuma down into the south course bed, not reaching Pilot Knob at all. This threw the force of the stream against the west bank of the river, which soon washed that bank away and formed the break. The break would not have occurred had not the river left it's bed near Pilot Knob.
 The people of Yuma, the doctor says, are glad of the change, and the new sea will be benefit to the climate, as we'll as provide them with means of a new method of transportation, as vessels can come into the sea from the Gulf of Cali fornia.
