Secretary Proctor states in his annual re-
port that there are 80 national cemeteries
in the country, in which are buried 32S, ll5
soldiers. Each cemetery is under the care
of a superintendent who served in the army
of the United States and was disabled
from active service in the line of duty.
Few people who know all about macadam
roads are aware of the origin of the name.
1t belongs to the inventor of the system,
John Loudon Macadam, a Scotchman, who,
in 1915, when go years old, devoted his
whole mind to the subject of improved
roads. He was the first TO discover and
prove that bed of a few inches in depth,
composed of fragments of primitive rock
granite, greensboro or basalt- broken
small enough to pass through a circle OF
~ inches in diameter, was the best mate
rial for level and durable roads.

Firebugs and burglars at CostIeton.

Fire was discovered in f. l.. Ponds
store in Union block at Castleton Sunday
night, but it was eXtinguished. The loss
from water was quite severe. Two lights
of glass had been removed from the rear
door and the lock taken off, and it is there
fore thought that the fire was started by
burglars. On last Thursday evening fire
was discovered in an ice house connected
with Armstrong; drug store in the same
block. Within the past three months six
or eight stores in the vicinity have been en-
tered. Ldtcr-Castleton had another fire,

\ Maine Farmer Plays "A Sharp BuncO
Game.

Lewis Cowen of Palmyra, Maine, who
has always been considered weak-minded
farmer has performed brilliant piece of
bunco work and left for parts unknown
with $1,000. A short time ago he went to
the savings bank at Dexter and represent
ed that his farm was free from incum-
brance, and that he desired to mortgage it,.
The bank took the alleged security and
advanced $1,000. Two days later Cowen
borrowed $500 from his Neighbor Blaisdell,
claiming that he wished to raise the mort
gage on his place. 1t now appears that
when Cowen bought the farm several
years ago it was mortgaged for $1,000.
When Governs farm was visited few
days ago it was deserted, and the furniture,
tools, stock, ETC., had been moved away.
No trace of him can be found. Before
disappearing Cowen sold 25 sheep belong
ing to another neighbor and pocketed the
proceeds.

C.. P. Sykes and "Brick" Pomeroy, who were formerly connected in the publication of the "Pomeroy's Demo- crat," at Lacrosse, Wisconsin, are two of the greatest schemers in America. They have been widely separated for many years, but both men are running in the same groove. The Atlantic and Pacific Tunnel Company is Pomeroy's great undertaking, by which the Rocky mountains are to be tunneled and bring to light millions of wealth and also make short cut from the Allan tic to the Pacific.
 MT. Sykes is taking hold of propo- sition to build road from Calabasas to Tucson and erect $1OO,OOO hotel at the latter city.

Westinghouse Luck.

It is claimed that there is enough ore on the dumps at the Washington camp group of mines, recently worked by the Westinghouse company, to pay back all the money expended by that company in prospecting Although this company has been very unfortun- ate in its copper mines in the territory they have taken hold of silver prop erty at Olive camp which will give them courage to go ahead. They have uncovered 8 big body of high-grade ore and are going ahead with shipments on big scale. The mine in question was hawked around Tucson for two years and offered for $1 ,00O. Dr. Peters took look at it; wouldn't pay 1000 for it but $50,O00 working bond was taken on his recommendation. They struck big body of lead ore before they had expended an hundred dollars on the property and although the embarrassment of the Westinghouse company has crippled the work for the time being the new purchase will be the making of big mine. The ore is pure galena carrying about 100 ounces of silver.

Annexation.

The proposition recently put forward by Vandivere, of California, for the annexation of Lower California does not meet with the appreciation of the off cial organ of the Mexican govern ment, the Diaro Official, which says:
 "Neither the people nor the govern ment of Mexico would ever admit even the thought of alternating to any foreign power one single inch of the national territory. And to this firm resolution may be added the lack of faculties on the part of the federal authorities to treat on matters of this nature. It would be necessary to amend our constitution, and we are sure no one could be found who would venture to initiate such an amend. mcnt, because he would be despised by the whole country"

The Bush Killing.

Further particulars Ot the kllnng o
 c. J. Bush in Nacosari canyon goes tc
 show that the work was done by a
 white man with whom Bush had had l trouble. He was on his way to Tomb stone with team and wagon. John
 Dart was few yards behind, also with
 team and vehicle. The country is
 thickly timbered. Dart had his atten-
 ton called by Bush, who shouted to him to "look outw Bush was point ing his shot gun at clump of bushes and simultaneously shots from Bush's gun and from the bushes went off. Neither shot was effective, but another shot from the brush and Bush fell of the wagon on one side, his gun falling to the ground on the other. A man
 arose from behind the brush and ran off into the timber. He was evidently an American. Dart went to Bush and found him dead, the bullet having en- tered his breast at his left nipple. passing through watch and carrying the works with it into his chest, tear ing an ugly hole. The bullet did not come out.
 Dart went on to Smiths place which was a mile and 8 half from the scene of the killing, and three men returned with him. They followed the trail of the murderer a short distance and came to where he had tied his horse behind knoll before sneaking down to the road, where he lay in wait for his victim. The horses tracks lead toward the Oso Negro. Two empty 45-6O shells were found behind the clump of bushes where the shooting was done. Bush had been warned to look out the day before and one man was heard to say that Bush would never get out of the country alive. He had had trouble with several per sons and was continually in hot water. The killing occurred about six miles from Nacosari. Bush was we'll known in Tombstone, where he lived for a number of years. He was in the em- ploy of the San Pedro Mining com pany at the time of his death. His family resided there. The killing hap pened on the 5th inst, and his re- mains were taken to the camp and buried on the following day.

Coinage i'm Mexico.

It may not be generally known that Mexico has had and has now the free coinage of silver similar in it's work. ings to the proposed silver coinage law in the United States. In discussing the agitation now in progress in this country over the free coinage of silver, the Two Republics of the City of Mex ico says:
 While all this battling about the white metal is going on abroad Mexi- co is quietly taking the silver out of her mines and having 1t coined in her hints. The producer or owner pays the cost of the coinage with little profit to the mint. and receives hls dollars with the eagle and the old ser- pent clearly shown on them, and is perfectly contented and happy, con- scious that he is personally gradually getting wealthy and the nations credit steadily growing on the basis of the dollar-that almighty old Mexican dol lar.

EmbeZZlelnen m ts fin 1890.

A complete list of embezzlements in the year 1890 is published by the Chicago Tribune, filling two newspaper columns. The most notable month for events of this nature was Novem- Der, the misappropriations revealed then amounting to $1,550,SO0. The total amount for the year is $S,622,- 956. Pennsylvania leads in the great est amount of funds embezzled-$2,- 328,S37. New York comes second, with $1 ,929,2 9,270; Missouri is next, with $596,384, while Illinois ranks fourth, with total of 4O6,S3S. The treaty abolishing the Dominion as harbor of refuge for embezzlers and other de- faulters was ratified last March, yet the total of $S,565,956 for 1890 is greater than in any one of the many past years, the single exception being 1884, when the aggregate exceeded 22,OOO,OOO.

J. M. Cunning has just returned from the Rockers Hot Springs where he has been for g month undergoing treatment for rheumatism. When he left Tombstone, he was just able to crawl around and his body was swollen to twice its natural size. He arrived at the springs and was carried into the house. The next day he took a bath in the water and remained in it one hour; he swears the temperature of it was 13O degrees; when he came out and was rubbed down, every par ticle of swelling had disappeared and at the end of the 22nd day every pain had left his body. He had been un- able to work at his blacksmith shop for three months until to-day. His case is certainly strong testimonial in favor of the healing properties of these springs.

CLARK'S REPORT
Of His Pursuit of the Apaches
 Who Killed Smith.
Hos Ange'es Expres ss.1


 Gen. McCook has just received the report of Lieut.. Clark. 10th Cavalry, who commanded the detachment of men and Indian scouts that has been in pursuit of the Indians that killed Chiquito Smith at McGowan's ranch on the 18th ult.
 Clark followed the trail for a week over the toughest section of Arizona. Most of the time it was so rough that his men could not ride their horses. and two of his troopers lost their horses, which rolled down precipices. On the 18th the Indian camp was dis. covered on the east slope of the Chiri- cahua mountains. While the scouts were surrounding it one of them ex- posed himself and the party was dis. covered and fired upon, the Indians in the camp firing and disappearing.
 The scouts say they saw two In dlans and recognized one of them as the Chiricahua named "Massay," who it will be remembered escaped from Geronimo's band at Springfield, Mo-, in 1887, while en route to Mount Yer non barracks, Alabama, and who made his way on foot back to his native haunts in the Cl irie ,hua mountains.
 The captured c; mp gave evidence of having been occupied for months and a large number of blankets, provisions and cooking utensils were captured. Apparently the Indians saved only their guns and ammunition.
 The trail could be followed only for a short distance, for it was soon lost among the rocks.
