HIS HAND BLOWN OFF.

ierious Accident From Picking Up Hot
 Dynamite Cartridge.
 From the Mohave County Miner.
 An explosion took place at the Star Spangled Banner mine, Stockton Hill, last Friday, in which M. A. Knapp and David Southwick were seriously injured, The two men had just eaten lunch in the ore house and were preparing to go back into the mine when Knapp ob- served that a stick of giant powder placed near the stove was getting 50 hot that the glycerine was exuding from it.. Stepping down he picked the powder op, and at the same time pressing it in his hand, when terrible explosion took place, tearing his hand in a hor- rible manner and filling his eyes with dirt and gravel. Southwick, who was some ten feet away, was thrown down ty the force of the blast and badly in jared, the flying sand and gravel tear ing his flesh wherever it struck. knapp's cries for help brought assist ance and the two men were kindly cared for until the arrival of the doctor. knapp's hand was so badly injured that it had to be amputated at the wrist. He was removed to town Saturday and is now at Mrs. Reeds lodging house, where he is getting along as well as could be expected. Southwick, although having no bones broken, is a mass of bruised humanity and it will be several weeks before he will be able to get around. It is also feared that he may lose the sight of one of his eyes.

SAYS the San Francisco Chronicle 'How the free traders will be surprised
 to learn that the glass trust has gone to smash This is trust which protec- tion was supposed to have called into existence, but it appears that the much detested system is really responsible for it's going to pieces, for the fact that tine competition is so great as to prevent anything like cohesion is only explaina- ble on the theory that high tariff has tempted numerous concerns to engage in the glass-making business. Now we are informed that brisk competition is bound to ensue upon the disruption of the trust, and that prices will be greatly reduced in consequence. The reductions during the past few years have been very large, and we may fairly assume that when this further one takes place the most skeptical free trader will be convinced that by plomot- ing competition among an active and intelligent nation of over 60,00O,C00 oi people the protective tariff has really been instrumental in reducing prices.

TIE combination of the Mesa canal with the new South Side Canal enter prise is one of the most notable events for many months. The canal has been turned over to the new enterprise on terms by which the Mesa shareholders will obtain their water for less than one-third what it before cost them, and yet the new canal will lose no money, The proposition is to go far up the river, but short distance below the mouth of the Verde, to take out head for the new supply ditch, but for the present the Mesa canal enlarged and improved will be made to answer the purpose. It is to be expected that the Utah canal, which runs parallel to the Mess. for some distance, but on lower plane, will now enter the pool and eventually taat that aged giant, the Tempe canal, will join forces. At present frorp the Arizona canal head to the dam cf the Tempe there is wastage of fully 5000 miners inches in the dry season and for saving this amount of water, 1T for no other reason, the south side canals should combine. Then again, the water power that could be formed at the edge of the Mesa, above the Tempe canal, would be grand, equal to the falls of the Arizona canal, and would be especially adapted by location for the driving force of large Touring mills.

THERE is peculiar significance in the statement from abroad that Italy will take part in the American national ex- hibition. Italy, of all countries in Europe, ought to be represented, for it is an Italians mighty achievement that is to be celebrated. But it should also be remembered that but for McKin- ley bill passed in Italy few years ago, that country would have nothing to ex. hibit except it's pictures, it's statues and the relics of splendid antiquity. Ital. ian industries are thriving wonderfully under protection, and French and Brit. ish capital are seeking investments in manufactures beyond the Alps, and in Italy's exhibit we will see not only the products of genius, but of number toil and skill, the fostering of which is of far more importance to the national well being than the most marvellous produc. tions of Rapheal or an Angelo.

AN estimate of the staying qualities of Alfalfa-fed colts is furnished by a colt raised by Robert Hanna. An employe was sent to Gila Bend on horse back, forty-five miles distant, to inform Mir. Hanna of the serious illness of his wife. One of the horses Mir. Hanna was driv- ing having given out, the colt was im- mediately put in his place to buck board and driven home, the wagon con- taining four men and camping outft. The entire ninety miles was covered in- side of fifteen hours, and the colt is in as good condition as ever. It has been claimed by many that alfalfa-raised horses do not possess the power of en- durance that mountain-raised horses have; but this and many other similar instances, that have never been recorded, would seem to disprove that idea.

TIE Fish Commission should pro- vide Arizona with carload of fish for placing in the streams of the Territory.
 Why should we not have the lordly salmon of the coast rivers, as well as the white fish, commonly called that, which is caught in the waters of the upper Salt River. The "hump-back" and the "sucker" and the Verde trout, though toothsome in cold weather, are not ex- actly all that might be desired in the fish line, and really the German carp are but little improvement. Still there is one thing about the carp that renders the fish especially valuable. It will live and grow rapidly in neglected ponds or anywhere else where there is water and mud. Almost any farmer in the valley could raise all the fish his family would desire in an ordinary ''adobe hole" reservoir, providing he had some sort of shelter at one side where the fish could hide during the warm days of summer. And carp make a pleasant variation of diet from bacon and beans.

THE Boston TraUelier exhibits what, in view of the fact that it is printed in Boston, is surprising amount of good sense on the Indian question in saying that "the care and control of the Indi- ans, which the Government feels bound to exercise, should be given entirely to the War Department. The army should be made the one responsible party" This is the position we have taken, and it is undoubtedly the correct one. The Indian Bureau, under it's present man. agement, has shown itself incapable of properly directing Indian affairs. The War Department would apply common sense methods to the government of the Indians, while at the same time it would do just as much towards civiliz- ing them as the Interior Department can do.

ANENT the election of Judge W. c. Hazledine, of Albuquerque, to the Presi- dency of the New Mexico Bar Associa- tion, the Santa Fe New Merican has the following; "The election of Judge w. c. Hazledine as President of the Bar Association of New Mexico, is proper and well deserved compliment. Judge Hazledine is in the front rank of his profession; he is an able and honor able man; he is patriotic and good citizen. Judge Hazledine and the Bar Association are to be congratulated upon his selection"

CouLD there be a good wagon road constructed to Globe over Hayden's Pass, it would be worth many thousands of dollars annually to this valley. With little effort Tempe might be made the shipping point for nearly all oi Globes supplies. Indeed, it would seem as though Globe should assist bountiiully in the construction of such road, for by it the cost of supplies, especially grain and hay, would be lessened fully 30 per cent.

GENERAL MILES has grown tired of depending on the false promises of the hostiles and has given them notice that if they do not come in as he has ordered he will go after them. This news has the right ring to it and we may expect some good Indian news from the north west within the next forty-eight hours.

ON the southern slope of the Sierra Ancha mountains, in Gala County, is one of the most superb bodies of pine in the Territory. Much of it is in the pre- cipitous slopes of the mountains only a few miles from Salt River. It would seem as though some plan could be con trived for floating the timber down to Phoenix during freshets.

Dwarfs of the Atlas Mountains.

Every now and then some traveller is well
coined back by the civilized world and
treats it to an ethnologic surprise. That
adventurous Englishman, Mr.. Halliburton,
arrived in London recently, and later on
read before the oriental congress fasci-
mating account of his experiences with a
hitherto unfamiliar people. 1t seems that
in the Atlas mountains only a few hun
dred miles from the Mediterranean, there
is a race of dwarfs under four feet high,
who are regarded with such superstitious
awe by the Moors that for thirty centuries
their existence was kept profound secret.
Some of them, however, have apparently
knocked about the world at odd times as
smiths, thinkers, acrobats and practicers of
the light gypsy crafts, but they have
always avoided towns where Europeans
are. They shave their faces; they are not
good Mohammedans; some say they are
Christians. and some that they worship
"Didoo Isiri."
1t is possible, suggests The Pail Mall
Budget, to connect branch of them with
the troglodytes of Herodotus, and to iden-
tify another with some dwarfs represented
on the monuments of the fourth dynasty
of the Pharaohs. Somewhere in the bowels
of Mount Atlas theyG seem TO have run in
prehistoric times thef Birmingham of the
bronze age. There are all kinds of stories
about them, to say nothing of the oldest
fact Of all-that the surrounding peoples
decline to repeat the stories. These dwarf
races, whether in Central Africa or else
where, are no doubt responsible for many
of the legends about trolls, which in some
form or another are found all over the
world.

ing, recluse, for he has many occasional
visitors, and among them Governor Ru8-
sell is an honored guest. Mr. Walton
went to live in the woods to regain his
health, and in doing so became so attached
to the place that he remains.
He was born in Oldtown, Me-, some
f1fty-three years ago, married young and
had family: but his wife and children
died early, and for many years he lived a
rather unsettled life in the west. He re-
turned to Maine about the time the panic
of 1873 brought the money question into
prominence, and after study of the situ-
alton withdrew from the Republican
party and became Greenbacker.
His life for some years thereafter was
quite active. He spoke, wrote and de-
bated, holding at one time a joint discus
sion with Senator Hamlin. He then es-
tablished, and for awhile edited, a Green
back paper in Bangor, and had much to do
with electing Ladd to congress over Bou-
telle. He took an active part in the But
Ter campaign also, but in the meantime
his health failed and he was threatened
with consumption. After trying various
devices, he finally located in the woods,
where he still lives.
His cabin is about six feet by four, and is
for sleeping purposes chiefly, as the recluse
spends most of his time in the open air,
and in summer he is in his tent much of
the time He has made special study of
the habits of birds, and his publications
thereon are read with much interest He
has acquired great liking for Governor
Russell, in their many tramps together.
One of his discoveries in natural history is
that the crows are divided into clans, and
each clan employs scouts to report by ar
ranged notes on the safest regions to feed.

Anchors of the Early Explorers.

The Latin American department of the
Worlds fair now has in its possession two
anchors. probably the oldest in America
one from Hayti, the other from San Do
mingo-the first dating from the Fifteenth
century, the second from the Sixteenth.
The first was found by the commissioner
sent to the West Indies while be was visit
ing the sites of the settlements made in
America by Columbus. The second had
lain two or three centuries imbedded in
mud, on the left bank of the Ozama river,
opposite the house of Don Diego Columbus.
