William Washington, Now mt Jackson
for Nine Years TO Have New trial.

for Nine Years TO Have New trial.
Judge Burlingame granted a new
trial, yesterday, to William Washing
ton, convicted of burglary and sent to
Jackson for nine years. The burglary
was that OF the residence of William
Bedell on Sheldon-st., last summer.
Clifton Lee and Washington were tried
and convicted IN the Superior court,
but Lee made his escape from the win
dow OF the clerks office while waiting
to be taken back to jail.
The grounds upon which the new
trial was granted were the frivolous
and insufficient character of the testi-
mony and the untrustworthlness of Lee
as witness, and also the strong charac-
ter OF the alIbl which Washington sus-
tanned by seven unimpeached witnesses.
In Its decree, the court stated its fear
that the Jury had laid more stress on
the fact that Washington had before
served time tor burglary, than upon
the testimony which he had introduced
To show his innocence. Washington
will be brought from Jackson and kept
in jail until the court makes further
order concerning him.

SeTeR Dollars Fairly In Sight.

Within the last six days prices
 for cattle have experienced an ad- vance of from twenty to thirty cents
 per 100 lbs. There was a small in-
 crease in the receipts as compared
 with the previous week, but the to-
 tai was 19,000 less than for the cor
 responding week last year and was short of the demand. There was
 loss during last month of 5S,OO0
 head, while the decrease sirce Jan.
 is in excess of 100000 head. The
 foreign market shows an improving
 tendency and the indications are that exporters will soon again be in the market for liberal proportion of our good cattle. If they were now taking from 5000 to 5000 head per week, as they were but short time ago, it is safe to say prices would be at least fifty cents per 100 lbs higher than they now are. The outlook is as encouraging to-day as at any time since prices started up- ward, The number of fat cattle to come on the market during this month and next is unquestionably much smaller than was generally supposed, and if prime beeves do not in the meantime soar to $7 it will be by reason of unexpected weakness in the foreign demand.
 Nothing has occurred to check the advancing tendencyin the sheep market. Apparently the situation is as strong to-day as at any time since prices began to climb, and they are 75 cents toS1 higher today than they were three weeks ago. Although the receipts are larger than eyer before at this season they do not equal the requirements of the trade, as is evidenced by the rapid advance in prices. Choice sheep have now reached S5.5o to $6.8 .85, while lambs of correspond- ing quality are selling around at $7. .50.-Breeders' Gazette.

VOLUME 7.
The Devil and the Lawyer.

 There runs quaint legend of ancient-day lore Of quarrel 'twixt Heaven and Hell, Der the boundary line, the eiamor grew high, But how it ran no cue could tell.
 With the tools of a stray engineer, But the Devil he said, with quizzical smile, That it couldn't be right, it was clear The angels grew tired of sitting on clouds, And watching the endless dispute, So they packed up the harp and folded fAeir
 wings,
 And 1oGted away with the lute. There came no decision, St. Peter grew mad, And sad the long look on his face, When the Devil suggested an admirable plan, That jury should hear the case. And each lawyer should bring the next day To decide who hsi been in the right. So the saint strokcd his chin, and upward he
 flew,
 While the Devil took downward his flight. Bright and early uext morning the Devil ap-
 peared
 And knocked at the heavenly door While iar ont behind, were stretched out in line, Five hundred of lawyers, and more. All alone stepped the saint from the portals of
 geld,
 IS he heard the clock strike eleven, And sadly he sighed to his smiling old foe, There's not even one lawyer in Heaven

A Black Range, N. M., correspon- dent writes The Stock Grower: We have had our annual Indian scare Luckily no one was killed this time, but it will take some of us all sum- mer to get our wind again. The red murderers are travelling this season under passes signed by ranchmen living near the reservations. A fine business that, and a nice state of affairs at the agency where it is al- lowed. One of these days the gov ernment will have another "Sand Creek" row to investigate; this sec ton is ripe for it and is only wait ing for a Chivington to lead.

Trampled by a Mule.

R. V. Bloxton returned yesterday from Nogales, where the past week he has been called to nurse his brother-in- law, Frank Lauranee, who was badly injured by a mule at Sanford's Sonoita ranch, on the 25th of April.
 The animal was not vicious, but was standing with rope attached when Laurance approached to ex. anime its mouth, which was sore. The mule jumped when the sore was touched, and in such manner as to entangle the rope around Laurance and throw him under it's feet. This frightened it yet more, and in endeavoring to loose itself from the young man, it kicked and trampled him terribly. Before he could release himself from the rope he was trampled and kicked from head to foot, and his left leg broken at the thigh. He was taken to Mo- gales, where he is slowly recovering from his injuries.-Citizen.

In a paper recently read before the American Philosophical Soc1ety R. Meade Bache announces that from experiments by himself and others he is led to believe electrici- ty may soon be applied to the epuri- fication of water. The exact meth- cd by which this result is to be ac- complished is not divulged, but it will consist of such an operation upon the predatory bacteria as will destroy the dangers now prevalent in the drinking-water they befoul, Every consideration of good health adds emphasis to the hope that Mir, Bache is not deluded prophet, Electricity will score it's grandest triumph if it eliminates the perils that turk in contaminated water.

The first funeral rite eyer per- formed by the Wallapais after the American fashion took place yes terday. One ot the several squaws of Charley's harem passed over the silent river Tuesday night, and couriers were sent out to notify all the relatives of the deceased, and active preparations were at once made for the funeral. Horses were gathered and the funeral pyre pre-, pared. But Charley had been con- verted to the customs and usages of his white brethern, and concluded he had other uses for his ponies and blankets than offering them as q sacrafce, and ordered a grave dug and the body consigned to the silent tomb on the hillside. where the cactus blows and the coyote will howl a requiem over the grave of the first of the tribe to be placed beneath the sod.-Mohave Miner.

 Platicville, Colo, comes forward and records the top price for cattle. Three days ago Thomas Hewlett sold twenty-six steers for $77 each. They were bought by the Denver Packing Company. They were al- fAlfa fed and brought $i75 a hun drel.-Stock Grower.
 Tte Floyd County, Texas, Times, says: "The prices of cattle have ad. vanced at least 30 per cent above last years quotations, and the out look was never better for still far ther advance in price. It will pay to hold for better prices. A reac- tion in the cattle market has al last set in, and the stockman will be able to realize handsome divi- dend on his investment.
 A spring roundup has commenced on the San Augustin plains for the purposes of branding calves and of collecting l,500 head of steers, which have been bought by Mir.

 "business" to cattlemen. We do not
 question that the turn in the long
 lane has been safely made, and that
 the advance steps, recently taken
 are not to be retraced."
 Nebraska as one of the best live
 stock feeding states of the Union
 was becoming known by stockmen everywhere when last years failure
 of crops greatly checked feeding
 operations, but this season she will
 make good her losses of the past year, by producing great abun- dance of feed, and the feeder that is wide-awake and ready to take ad- vantage of the present low prices of live stock will buy without limit and sell later at a good profit to the stockman who is not awake to the situation of affairs at present. The man who has managed to bring his live stock through to the present time is in luck and will receive his reward in getting good prices for all the breeding stock he has to spare. Nebraska Farmer.
 From all over the west comes the cry of shortage of bulls on the ranges and the calf crop bids fair to be much curtalled on account of the parsimony of some ranch own CTS who depended on their neigh borg bulls for service last year and seem disposed to continue the same plan for the coming season. Good pure-bred bulls, saying nothing of grades, have been in abundant sup ply the past two years at prices which the ranchman could easily afford to pay, so that the men who brand far less than the expected number of calves this spring have! no one but themselves to blame for their loss. It is a policy so short sighted that it passes wonder that men claiming any business sense whatever would adopt it.-Brecders' Gazette.
 The Omaha stock yard manage ment propose to make an effort for southwestern business this year, and as basis for their work show up the increasing business of the past few years, and the very satis- factory results which have come from shipment of stock to that point. That market, situated as it is, in the center of great corn belt, should be a splendid stocker and feeder market, and we believe it will be to the interest of southwest ern stockmen to give 1t a trial. It is certain, that a division of ship ments to the various markets will help the cattle growers, as it has been too often demonstrated to the loss of shippers that great fall in prices always follow large receipts at Kansas City and Chicago.-Las Vegas Stock Grower.

New Camp.

f among the chlet industries ot the |, territory. To touch the pulse O. f its prosperity is to note the mines
 and mineral properties both de.
 veloped and undeveloped, scattered
 through it's great domain from the } forest covered hills of Yavapai to l the dry and treeless mesas of South l ern Pima, and from the extreme , east of Graham to the extreme vest !, of Yuma, Everywhere the miners pick has made its showing and the mining outlookis constantly bright ening. From the chloriding pro positions worked by a couple ot hardy toilers to the great camps furnishing employment for hun dreds of men, the improvement is ever noticeable, and new camps are springing up where short time since the patient working of 2 or 8 prospectors mi ight have been noted.
 The next camp to be opened will be in the Quijotoa country, about twelve miles south of Quijotoa in the properties known as the Kahn Kuhn, Halifax and Brooklyn mines. A 20 stamp mill with capacity of 50 tons of ore very 24 hours is now ordered in Denver, and will be on the ground in readiness for working by July 1st, Mining men will at once recognize the properties as those of the Cababi Mining Com pany, and in which J. A. Conlee has been interested. To MT. Conlee everything is due for the new camp. During the past year he has worked jealousy and well, and found him. self much aided in his efforts by his we'll merited record of a practical mining and milling man. He has beep instrumental in the opening of 5 other prosperous camps in the territory, none of which have "gone by the boar" First was the furnace and mill of the San Xayier, opened in 'S2. In 'S5 Mir. Conlee opened the Humboldt properties, now said to be among the best paying in Ari zona. The camp he opened last was the Leila Co.'s mill, three miles miles from Casa Grande in the Ve- kol district. His present labors promise at least as we'll.
 The mines are all on the same lead, but tl,e ore is of two grades. The vein is 4 feet thick, and 8 feet of this is free milling and 1 foot is refractory ore. The free milling ore is friable and runs about $25 ton. It will be shipped to smelt. The re- fractory ore is much richer. though much more difficult of reducing. It is gold amalgamating and concen- tratiEg rock and contains almost no silver. Of the lead there is from 40 to 50 per cent, and in gold it runs $100 to the ton. MT. Conlee estimates the cost of working the free milling ore at $5 a ton, and the refractory at $40 a ton, either yield ing very handsomely. Water will be sunk for, and pro- bably found 400 feet down, that be- ing the depth of the we'll at Quija- 1 toa, the two places being about of a | level.
 The greatest depth the properties have been worked is about 100 feet. | Something like 20OO, feet of devel- opment work is the present total. | There is now on the dump from 400 to 800 tons of ore, in the proportion by bulk. of the free milling ore to l of the refractory.
 About 40 men will be employed at this camp, 30 in the mine, and 10 at the mill.
 The mines were worked by Mexi- cans for many years, coming into the possession of Americans about | s years aGo. The neW nrOnerty is |

The Advance In Beef.

meats has become general through
 out the countrywide increase being
 from two to five cents per pound or ] nearly all cuts. When, two years
 ago, some of the best posted writers
 warned the public, and cautioned
 the stock raisers, they were laughed
 to scorn and their predictions were
 held up to ridicule as the croakings
 of alarmists or the utteranees of
 monopolistic tools. Sound reasons
 for the predictions were brushed
 aside by mere assertions and were
 met by some would-be authorities
 with the statement that the ratio of
 beef cattle to population was stead
 fly increasing, notwithstanding the
 heavy drafts made for the export
 and the numerous causes cited as
 tending toward a decrease. The un-
 precedented marketing of calves
 and COWS and the great increase in
 the practice of spayIng heifers were
 pointed out as certain to produce
 shortage before the lapse of three years, even if there was no increase
 in the exports of beef products. This increase, however, has been
 very great, and, combined with the causes named above, has produced the exact result predicted by the few and secuted by the many. From every quarter of the county come of high price for beet, and there appears no prospect of an early decline. The recent large pur- chases of range cattle by the West ern packers indicate a conviction on the part ot those engaged in the dressed beef industry that there will be no decrease in the prices now prevailing, but rather that they will advance still further. High prices for beef will lead to the sub- of cheaper food, and nut. ton is likely to become, in a meas ure, substitute, as 1t has in Great Britain. Those who are always ready to lay every grievance at the door of the dressed meat magnates of the West are silly enough to have stated that the advance was directly chargeable to them, when the fact remains that range cattle are considerably higher Tn price than they were a few months ago. Some of the journals which make it a point to distort facts in order to appear to be argumentative, de- liberately falsify and change relia- ble figures in order to support their position. Such journals, and even prominent stockmen who know bet ter, have stated the Western dressed beefcompanies control the prices of meats throughout the country and have brought about the present ad- vance without any reason but to put more money in their coffers. Such statements are too ridiculous to be worthy of serious contradic- ton, especially in view of the facts presented above. showing the best of reasons for higher prices. From Helena, Mont, comes the report of a large sale of three and four-years old beef cattle at fifty dollars per head, which is the highest price paid for beef cattle for several years past. This is one case of many which shows that there has been a marked advance on the ranges, which necessitates an advance all along the line. The advance is due 10 natural and legitimate causes, md will be governed by the legiti- mate demand of trade.-The Ma ,ional Proyisioner.

 William Green, the all-around sporting man, and old-time cattle
 buyer of Hastings, Colo, was in
 Las Vegas this week, on his way to
 Fort Sumner, to negotiate deal for
 a big bunch of steers. He is buy
 ing for North Dakota parties, who
 accompanied him on the trip. He also has commissions to purchase for several Colorado parties, and is in the market for some stock cattle, the first inquiry for such stock we have heard for some time.-Stock Grower.
 A dispatch from New York says |: Within the month of April the advance in the wholesale prices of meats of all descriptions has aver aged 4c per pound, and this in crease, it is the opinion of represen- tative retail dealers. is likely to be maintained throughout the summer. It is predicted, though, that when the summer is over prices will be normal. The retail butchers of Washington market of tise first class, as they say, have added 5c per pound to their old price.
 An exchange says: In Denver there seems no limit as to where the price of beef will land. It is still climbing heavenward and fit keeps up, poor people will have to find something to eat that doesn't cost so much. Choice steers. dressed sell for nine cents pound, COWS eight and half cents by the carcass, hind quarters at the packing houses eleven and a half cents, while Joins bring fourteen to sixteen cents. For wholesale prices these figures are remarkable for this point.
 The presence of northern men in New Mexico inquiring for stock cat tie is most encouraging sign of the times, and substantial evidence of the truth of the statement made in dispatches some time since, that the favorable prospects for the cat tie business had tempted invest ment again. and farmers and others who had sold out their she stock during the depression were in the market again.-Stock Grower.
 The Mexia, Texas, Ledger says: "A train of twelve cattle cars pass ed the city Saturday evening en route to New Orleans. There was nothing remarkable about this train except that these cars were loaded with the products of a Texas insti- from the Fort Worth company. This meat will go to Liverpool, England. The hogs slaughtered in this Texas in- stitution are mostly shipped here from Kansas, but we trust the time is not far distant when Texas can furnish her own meat for her own packery.
 Chicago, May 1.-Within the last month there has been an increase in the wholesale price of meat throughout the country. In Chica- go the advance in both wholesale and retail prices has averaged 334 per cent. Talks with several local meat dealers in Chicago indicate that there will be no decrease in prices before July 1, and before that time the tendency may possibly be toward a still larger increase. The cause of the advance is said to be 4 f
