Tombstone epitaph., 1891-01-11

The Supreme Court of Minnesota held, in the case of Lathrop ct al. vs. Clayton, that where personal property capable of actual delivery, has been sold while in the possession of the vendor, or under his control, such de- livery must be made and must be fol- lowed by continued change of pos session, or the sale will be presumed fraudulent and void as against the ven. dor's creditors, but that when it hap. pens that the subject of the sale is not reasonably capable of actual delivery, a constructive delivery will be sufficient, AS in cases where it might not be inn possible, but would be injurious and unusual, to remove the property from where it happened to be at the time of the transfer.

 In alluding the copper deposits of South Eastern Arizona and New Mex co the Denver Republican says "Some day an enormous amount of capital will be invested in the develop ment of copper mines in New Mexico and Arizona. The wealth of the South West in copper is very far from being confined to one district.
 In Southwestern New Mexico and Southeastern Arizona there are vast deposits of copper, some of which is al- most pure. When the demand for copper becomes great enough for the development of these deposits, the out put of the Southwest in that metal will make New Mexico and Arizona rank with Lake Superior county in copper production.

The sentimental Mail and Express of New York says in sermonizing upon the recent battle with the Sioux in which the seventh cavalry was nearly annihilated.
 "To war against Indians as against civilized nations is to invite disaster !; to shoot them down, like mad dogs, in the face of their profe ssions of submis- sion, is palpably inhuman. It is likely that this outbreak terminates the struggle, for the agency Indians are more likely to be intimidated than in spired by it's consequences. But again it advances the old demand: How can we best deal with the Indian ques- tion? Is the solution in force or in philanthropy, or in both, or in neitheri But let our charity never fail, in any case."

CRITICISMS.
Of the Press Upon the Removal
 of General FOrsythe.

Gazette: General Miles fights his Indian battles in palace car, and il ever he is killed it will be by the train jumping the track. In all of his Ari- zona warfare he never lefs the line of railroad, but succeeded in gathering in all the glory.
 Phenix Republican: Every man who ever servhd under Sandy" For sythe knows him to be as brave, fear less and able soldier as ever smAlled gunpowder. There is none of the playing for the applause of the gal lerys" with him. He is the typical frontier soldier, cool, self-possessed and fighter. His troopers love him for his many noble qualities, and next to Cnster no man ever comman- ded the crack Seventh Regiment, bet ter fitted to lead the brave men who compose it. The people of the Great West will not be fooled by Miles cam paign in q palace car, and there will go up such an ouLburst of just indig-. nation at this suspension of one of the best officers in the army that his little Presidential boom will die a-bornin'
 PheniX Herald: At the very mo. ment that Col. Forsythe is in the pres- ence of armed hordes of savages, he is removed from his command because his men were obliged to defend them selves in the heat of battle from the Winchester rifles put in the hands of squaws and boys by this same senti- mentality, and who fight with equal vigor with the men when they have chance. Is soldier to allow a squaw to kill him because she is squaw and he is a white soldier? How long is this wretched policy to continue?

Some Facts.

It is strange sight to witness the hundreds and thousands of fre,ful health.seekers pass through the very
 Mecca of their hopes onward to the dampness and fogs of the coast in California without realizing their fatal error. Upon leaving Arizona at Yuma, regardless of the season of the year, the car windows are open and de- lightiul breezee, dry and pure, prevails. After passing over the desert, on the grade leading up to San Gorgonio pass, the windows are closed and little later on fire is built and if storm pre- vails much discomfort is felt. Even after reaching the coast side ot the mountains, the winter breeze is damp and chilling. The contrast is even more striking upon leaving California and the delightful change is ex- perienced as the train drops down to lower level, the fires extinguished and the windows reopened. These circum- stances, while seemingly trifling, are significant to the invalid and should warn him of the mistake he is making. There is without exception, no better climate for people suffering with pull monary complaints than right here in Arizona, and the doors of this natural sanitarium are open to the whole world.-Florence Enterprise.

The Tucson Citizen has been in- formed that MT. G. w. Lang started with about 500 head of cattle from near Benson the 1st of December, to drive through to California. When near Maricopa he lost 70 head and only recovered three head at cost ex. ceeding the value of the animals. He shipped the balance from Gila Bend on the 3lst of December. The cattle are said to have been in very poor con- d'ction when shipped.
 The PRosPECToR thinks there must be mistake about this, as Mir. Lang crossed the Colorado river recently with his cattle in good order.

INDIAN NEWS.
The Latest From The Scene
 of HOstilitIos.

CHICAGo,-A Lone Pine Nebraska special dispatch says: "All along the Elkhorn and Missouri River Valley road the people believe themselves in great peril in case the battle that seems imminent at Pine Ridge, should result adversely to the troops.
 A part of the National Guards of Nebraska, 100 men is already in the field and Governor Thayer has ordered re-inforcements.
 General w. L. Colby. of the state troops is in command, with headquar- ters at Nashville, where the larger body of militia is stationed. Colonel Cody Buffalo Billy chief of staff to Governor Thayer, will confer with General Colby at Nashville and the two will decide upon the best point at which to station troops. The report that Colonel Cody was to join General Miles at Pine Ridge is untrue. Buffalo Bill takes gloomy view of the future and expresses his opinion that a big battle is almost sure to occur within few days in the immediate vicinity of Pine Ridge. The Indians, he said have reached the edge of their mad ness in which they are worse than ever and the Messiah craze has made them fatalists to that degree that they firm- believe that if they ga under in battle they will come to life again in the spring. Should the Indians mass and make an attack on the troops at Pine Ridge and overcome them there would be an over running of the country that would mean more than reppetition of former horrors.
 The fear of this more than any be. lief that the Indians will raid the country before offering battle to the regulars has led 10 throwing out of line of state troops along the Nebraska frontier.
