That's Q Fact.

The action of the Supreme Court of
 the United States upon the emergency case carried up from this territory in.
 volving the legality of the acts of the alst legislature after the sixty days actual session, is fraught with deeper interest to the pc ople that at first may appear possible. A confirmation of the decision of our courts upon the grounds of expendiency, must cer- tainly revive an almost endless amount of litigation that has been considered settled, while the reversal Of their judgment will open the doors of the court beyond the expectations of the most rapacious Sylock the bar In the Inter con .igency the holdover appointments of Ex- Governor Zulick can recover their lost salaries and a whole chapter of chaos will follow. In any event it will be bad enough for every taxpayer. Florence Enterprise.

DEED,
How to help your digestion

Almost every day we feel the un- pleasant sensations of indigestion. Try Allcock's Porous Plasters and be relieved. J. F. Davenport, of Canar- sic, New York, writes:
 "I have been very much troubled. with violent pain below my chest bone. I was told by several physicians that it wss rheumatism of the dia- phragm. It resulted from cold and exposure. I had very little appetite and digested my food with great diff culty. I placed one Allcock's Porous Plaster below the breast bone and two on each side. In the course of twenty four hours all pain ceased, and I was able to eat and digest good square meal, something I had not done before in two weeks. I got better constantly, and the end of seven days found my self entirely we'll. Since then I have used Allcock's Porous Plasters for colds, coughs and pains in my side. and I have always found them quick and effective"

Send Arms.

The Tombstone militia are without arms. As there is every indication that the removal of troops from this section of Arizona will necessitate. at no distant day tine calling upon the militia companies of southern Arizona to take the field to fill some spasmodic outbreak on the part ot the Apaches, it would he well to provide them with guns and ammunition. It is not necessary as some people suppose for each member of the company to go to the front in person. During the late civil war substitutes were sent at g small expense and at the present time this plan might be successfully worked by those whose business en- agreements would not allow them to go to the battle field in person.

Apropos the recent census enumer- ation of Sunday schools in Arizona it might not be inappropriate to give a few instances taken from our Tomb stone Sunday schools to show that the seed has fallen upon good ground.
 "Did Solomon have very big ears?" asked youngster just home from Sunday school; "Why do you ask thatG" replied her mother. "Well the Golden Text to-day "wasBehold a greater than Solomon's ear."
 Gan any of the little children in my class tell me whatthe Golded Rule is, 2" asked teacher in a Tombstone Sum- day school, not long since,-"Mind your own business" confidently piped out small girl.
 "What can you tell me about Timo- thy?" was asked of another youngster not unknown to local fame. Those familier with the readers used in the public schools will appreciate the ready reply "Timothy was wood-chuck. !"

Treasurer's Contest.

The contest case of Geo. J. Rosk- ruge V. 8. Ben Heney for the office of county treasurer was closed yesterday. The court gave judgment affirming the election of MT. Heney. The contest was made on the grounds of MT. Hen. ey's ineigibility to reelection as treas. urer under the law which prevailed prior to Jan l, 1891 which declared that no county treasurer in the terri tory can be elected or appointed to succeed himself once. The court held Mir. Heney eligible to succeed him self and gave judgment accordingly.- Star

Two men met in Tombstone last night who had not seen each other in fifteen years. When they had talked together for ten minutes they dis covered that they had both been on a coroner's jury in Montana which to say the least was a remarkable one. The case was one of a man found drowned in the Yellowstone river. his body was brought to the coroners rooms, the jury summoned and the the body examined. In the hip pocket of his overalls was found a colts six shooter aud in another pocket a $20 gold piece. The Justice who was also the coroner as is also the rule in Arizona at the present time, fined the corpse the $2O for carrying concealed weapons and then went on with the inquest.

The government plan for the preser vation of the Casa Grande ruins is to build high brick wall abound them, for which it has appropriated about half enough money. A better plan says the Florence Enterprise is sug- gested by Judge J. D. Walker, who would have the walls repaired and re- stored to their original condition and roofed in the manner tradition speaks of it. Then he would have the entire reservation fenced and planted to the characteristic, products of Arizona for park, while museum of prehistoric relics would occupy the ancient castle
 Judge Walker thinks sufficient sum could be provided by local residents to do this work, assisted by the voluntary labor of the Pima Indians. who would gladly perform the necessary labor un- der his direction. He would also make it the nucleus of an Indian training school and by this combi- nation of purposes create in it an ob- ject of interest and curiosity that would attract visitors from all quarters of the earth, and at the same time re- lieve the government of further ex- pense in its care and protection.

Changing the ninim- Law.

There has just passed the senate and
 is now pending in the house a measure of no inconsiderable moment to the
 mining fraternity. It is designed
 to avoid many inconvenieces with mi
 ners now so justly complain oi, while and the same time not relaxing in the
 least the watchfulness of the law. One
 provision of this amendment to the U
 s. mining law authorizes a man own- ing, say, five claims adjoining one an- ether to do $500 worth of assessment work on any one of these claims if he chooses to rather than expend $I00 an- nually upon each of the claims as the law at present requires. Also another change provides that where sufficient work has been done to warrant the demand for a patent and the law has been complied with as to payments, no further assessment work is required, no matter how long the patent may be delayed in issuing from the land office. It also makes it lawful for one witness to certify, before any mo- tary public or any other duly qualified officer as to whether the work done is in accordance with the law, instead of requiring two such aflidavits to be made within the land district where the claim is located. Another change and one of special note in the mi. ming sections where the rigors of win- ter are severe, makes the mining year begins on October 1.
