J. K. Hall, the we'll known fruit man of Lynx creek, brings the some what startling information to town that an earthquake has visited Lonesome Valley, and left its un- mistakable mark. He states that his household was awakened short ly before ten o'clock, by his son, and upon arising plainly felt the vibrations of the earth. The next day he made an examination of the immediate vicinity, and followed a crevice, three feet deep and two feet wide, for a distance of over two
 miles. Other parties. also, remem- Der the unusual occurrence of that night, but as earthquakes hereto
 fore have never been attributed to this land of gold, much speoula- ton and interest has been mani fested as to the cause of this sub- terranean outburst.--Journal-Min

AS an evidence that schools for Indian boys and girls remote from the scenes of their childhood should be provided with hobbies is evil denee by the fact that seven boys, of tender years graduated at Grand Junction, Colorado, without the knowledge of the faculty, and gray itated in the direction of San Car los, on foot, a thousand miles, to them through an unknown country, reaching the latter place last week apparently as fresh as lasies, just kissed by morning dew.-Arizona Silver Belt.

Governor John N. Irwin, of Ari- zona, has been spending few days Tn Washington, writes a New York World correspondent. A good story is told at his expense. In 1884 he was appointed Governor of Idaho. With hls commission in his pocket he started for his post. The country was very wild, and af- ter wandering about in the sage brush for three weeks he concluded he didn't care for the job. and re- turned to Keokuk, Iowa, and sent in his resignation. II was supposed in Washington, however, that the Governor was still at his post, and when his successor was appointed several months later a check for $1,700 salary was sent him. He returned the check, requesting that it be covered in," under the gen. eral head of "unexpended appro- priations," The matter was laid before Comptroller Lawrence, a rather testy old gentleman, who de- clared the money must go to the conscience fund.-" Irwin was fu- rious. He wrote protest after pro- test, and finally got Senator Ali son to move to have the record changed. Lawrence was obdurate, however, and so Governor Irwin to- day stands on the Treasury Depart ment books as a contributor to the conscience fund to the amount of $1,700. He has made large for tune in various business enterprises, but recently dropped $50,000 in the Chicago Times.-Ex.

On Thursday four tramus broke

On Thursday four tramps broke into a freight car on Conductor Campbell's train between Winslow and Walnut. They were discover ed by the train men, and the matter reported to Sheriff Francis. The tramps left the train at Walnut, and Sheriff Francis, and Chas Can all, left here on a yelocipede car, and met the vagrants at Cosnino. They were arrested and brought to this place. A number of articles which were supposed to have been stolen were found on the tramps. Three of the tramps had a hearing before Justice Gibson on Friday but will be held until further infor- nation can be had concerning oth- CT goods which were stolen from the car. The other member of the gang does not seem to be impli- cated with the others and appears to be stranger to them, he will be retained as witness in the case.- Coconino Sun.

The Tucson Star says: If the truth was known" remarked one of our citizens yesterday, "our whole sale houses are kept up by our small Chinese, stores. They buy from slO,OOO to s15,OOO worth of goods per week, and often their purchases reachS1OO,OOO per month. The person who made the above re- mark is business man, and has means of arriving at this conclu- sion. As there are between forty and fifty Chineses merchants in this city who are almost wholly supplied by our wholesale merchants, the above statement seems to be true.

Ricardo Diaz, a Mexican, was killed on Saturday last at a rock quarry near Fairbank. The testi- mony went to show that the de- ceased was at work against a bluff of rocks and that one heavy rock slid off and struck him on the head. All the rest of the workmen got out of the way with exception of Diaz who had ample time to escape had he had less bravado and more dis cretion. The coroner's jury brought in a verdict of death by a prema- ture blast.-Prospector.

The Nogales Herald distinctly

The Nogales Herald distinctly remarks: It seems that ex-Gover- nor Wolhey is incapable of learning anything from experience, however bitter it is. He has recently sent broadcast over the Territory a cir cular letter marked "Personal, 'reit- erating the charge of bolting against MT. Christ, whose mail is loaded down with copies of the same, which have been sent him by personal friends from all over the Terriorty, accompanied by pointed remarks. If Wolaey could read some of the comments on his fool letters he would certainly be con- yinced that it has made the same impression that everything else he has done since his unfortunate ap- pointment as Governor.

The gain for the rest of the country was 43 ? per ct. showing that the rate of growth is now greatest in the South. Popu- lation. in the South increased but 1S8 per cent, so that the per capita wealth of$181.2S in 1880 increased to $219.OS in 1890. If railroads and the like had been included in the census figures the aggregate of of Southern wealth in 1890 would have been some hundreds of mill lions greater and the rate of in- crease perhaps greater.-Baltimore Sun.

 hogs are laying up an unusual store, and the bees are making unusual preparations for winter. These in- dications may be superstitious, but they are nine times out of ten more reliable than Fosters, Wiggins' or other prognosticators.-Stockman.

Uncle Josh Bailey was:down from Bailey's Wells this week. He says there has been but little rain in the San Simon Valley and the outlook for a grass crop is not good. The best grass is about his place, and as a result more cattle are gathering than he is able to water. If it does not soon rain the owners will have to remove some of them from his neighborhood or they will perish. Graham County Bulletin.

The general business situation is improving; all lines report greater activity and a promising outlook The tone of the iron market has improved, the boot and shoe men report perceptible increase in or. ders, and the dry good jobbing trade is quoted as showing a de. cided advance over the same time year ago. The iron trade is rally. ing from the depression in which it has been for a year or more, and shows its improvement in frmer prices and a slightly better demand.
