MILITIA MATTERS.
An Encampment at Tucson Projected
 A Regimental Band.

Since its organization much interest has been taken by the Tucson militia in their work, and now it seems thelr long hours of drill will be repaid in an en campment, and possibly in a reglmenta band as an adjunct.
 The encampment is projected to take place for week in October, to consist of the 2d and 3d battalions. including tho Phenix, Florence, Yuma, Tom bstone and Tucson companies. 1t will prcb- ably be held somewhere in the Silver Lake vicinity, Fort Lowell being re- garded as rather too remote from the city for convenience of visitors. Re duced rates will be obtained for the visitors, and everything done to make them welcome The encampment VII be largely provided for by the govern ment, Tn the furnishing of tents and camp equipage, bat cannot be success without the cooperation of Tucson friends. About Sl2o0 will be needed, all of which will be repaid the cIty in the augmented business, made by the outsiders 10 join or visit the encamp ment. Major Martin, Adjutant GIlI and Captain Bernard are back of the move ment, and will make big ,uccess of ii if carried through.
 The regimental band project is that the Philharmonic band join the militia DO drill being required of them. Should they join 1t will be as separate com many and uniforms and eoulnments will be issued them. The band meets to- morrow night 10 discuss the matter.
 T Company D was inspected last nigh by the adjutant general, who expressed himself as well pleased with the work ings and drill of the company.
 Much improvement was noticeable iI the general maneeuvres of the battalion in their last general drill.

A Snnke Story frnrn India.
YUMA, Aug. 24

Thsre is belief current in all parts of India that certain variety of snake called Shesh Nag. when it attains the age of 1,000 years, has precious jewel formed in it's head. The jewel. it is affirmed, possesses the quality of sucking up the poison of the deadliest snake if applied to the wounded part. Strangely enough Paris gentleman is repUted to possess this invaluable jewel, according to correspondent of Gujarati weekly, published at Wadhwan. in Gujarati The correspondent says that when the present owner-who, by the way. is now sixty. three-was twenty-three years old he lighted upon snake of the above mentioned var.ciy .: :e killed. Then he found the jewel in his head It has already saved several lives.
 When Mir. Vidal. the collector of the district. vas there, it was shown to him too. The jewel is said to contain thin crescent like fiber, which unceaSingly oscilliates in the center. The gaikwaI of Baroda, the Inahar;ljah of Kolhapur, and several of her native princes are said to have offered several hundred thousand rupees for this unique jewel. The name of the owner is Mir.

Csnyon reservoir. od ths Gi!a siYef, { few miles east of the boundary l.ns oi | the county.
 AL this point the river is subject to heavy flo ds that will ensure the filling of the reservoir every winter and spring. the heavy showers lasting till May. This s;heipe has been favorably re- ported upon by J. B. Steiger, c. E.. but so far no actual work on the reservoir has been commenced, though the ad- Vantages that will arise from its consum- nation ara very great. They are two fold: First, they will furnish large sup ply for the season when water is very low in the river, and second, it would afford the means of retaining the lower bottoms (which amount to about twen- ty five per cent of the valley land) by storing ths surplus water that would otherwise flood the surface.
 From what facts 1 have attempted to furnish in this article, ths storage works already inaugurated and being decided upon are of sufficient capacity to irri- gate most of the accessible land of the copnEy lying below the reservoir, and thereby remove the present cause of non development of this fertile dist jet In my next article l shall treat of some facts that came under my observation here relative to the cultuTe of fruit and other crops, and the opportunity await ing those who do not sit and wait, but are prepared to work and wait for the fruits of their labor to mature.

FrightfuI | JOSS of Life.

Of the many disasters with which mankind has been visited, one of the worst is that class of ailments which originating slm:ly with inactivity of the kidneys and bladder, causes such flight fui loss of life. Under this palling cat egory come Bright's disease, diabetes, ordinary Dephitis and catarrh of the bl dder. No class of organic maladies, against which medical skill IS pitted, so often bsfiles lhe expert practitioner and sets his skill at naught. Easy 1t IS, how ever, 10 arrest these direful ailments at the start. ihe diuretic action of Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters is just sufficient to set the bladder and kidneys at work, preserve or rescue them from fatal in- activity without exciting them. The unmedicated stimulants of commerce excite without either strengthening or regulating. Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters does both. It IS unfailing for ma laria, dyspeps.a, debility, rheumatism, liver complaint and constipation.

Lsaching Low Grade Ores

On Wednesday We took look at the teaching works lately started by H. W. Kearsing, and with whom D. Van Wagenen is now associated. They have had a good deal to contend with in constructing plant. and the capacity of winch IS as yet small (Jhres tons per day) but they have demonstrated to theil own satisfaction the practicabIiity of working low grade ores, which are abundant In Globe district. At present they are working the dump of the Black Prince mine, which assays Sl5 to SIS per ton. and find it profitable. A part of the process employed is the discovery of Mir. Ksa sing who has ihe reputation of being an experienced chemist and assayer, having been in the employ of the U. s. government at one time. NIT. Van Wagenen has also had some ex- perience ia teaching ores Tn Nevada and elsewhere. Their knowledge enables them tC not only produce the amalgam, but to reduce it to fine bullion by smelting. Messrs. Kearslng and Van Wagenen will add additional talks soon, and expect eventually to increase the capacity of their works to twenty tons. and will then be prepared to work custom ores. The experiment will be watched with good deal of interest, as its success would doubtless lead tn the working of very many mines in this district, which are now practically valueless, as the cost of shipping and reduction Is prohibitory,-Silvsr Belt.

A. LIvELY CotiET,
Indian and Edmuuds Act Cases.

Land laws violations, Edmunds act
 violateons, violations of the laws against selling liquor to Indians, big bail bonds,
 escaped prisoners aud prisoners who
 didn't escape are reported in plenty by Deputy Msrshal John Paul, as a result of the deliberations and acts of the late fourth judicial district United States court, at Prescott, which adjourned
 Wednesday, and from which he has just returned.
 Under the Edmunds act came num- Der of cases. Of other five plead guilty and one or two cases were non-suited by reason of contract marriages. 1n one case man named Doherty was in the east and the woman in the case had reached Prescott Junction when brought back. Doherty's brother gave bail for the delinquen.'s appear ence. which was made in due time. Ths pair marrying, 6 nominal tne of So each was imposed. Iu the three cases fines of $50, S15 and s1OO each were paid.
 About a like number of charges, for selling liquor to Indians, were sustained. The marshal and deputy took to Yuma Mike Nugent, Juan Zamora, Steven Davey, Den! is Harrington, Julian Lo- peg and Paul Garcia, all of whom serve terms of under & year. A prisoner named Jack Sullivan, sentenced to a year ct San Quentin, also for selling li quor to Indians, made an escape from the county jail at Prescott, through the carelessneess of guard, a week ago. The guard had gent hiIa after pail of water, keeping not over close watch on the man, who dropped the pail and ran. Search was of course made, but at pres ent there seems no probability for the immediate beginning If that one years term.
 An Indian, formerly scout. made plea of guilt of manslaugher and WIS gwen light sentence three years and a fire of S10O. h view of valuable ser vices to the government es scout the president has been petitioned for the man's pardon, and pending answer he is held ia jail. The Indian shot his wife and mother ID law, the ball passing first the mother in law. She was not killed, but the wife was less fortu- nate.

Work at Sheriff Browns Dam

Sheriff Brown. just returned from hls ranch, tells that the embankment for his new dam is progressing, being now about five feet high. All going we'll, it will be completed in about two weeks.
 Already this season from the late rains the arroyos from the mountains, the in- ended source of the reser .oir, have carried by enough pater to fill it many times.
 The dam at Hartt's ranch adjoining, on a similar plan, has been filled and in less than twenty-four hours. Owing to headgstes not being in the dam 1t was emptied, the water being utilized for ir rigatioa purposes. The headgates have now been put 10.
 Sheriff Brown expresses the opinion that on demonstration of tho success of bis system of water storage 1t will be uumerousiy initiated throughout the territory.

 We endorse the sentiment of Ger. McCook, Of Colorado, who says: We think if the coIored man was good enough to shoot and fight in the same line of battle during the war, he is good enough to remain in membership with him in the grand army" The fraternity of the grand army is founded upon prIn- ciDle. not pedigree. Loyalty is the key stone that binds the arch together and gives it it's strength. The questions O! nationality, rank, soclal condition, re ligion or politics, are forb dden to be considered by this organization. It is as much out of order to raise the ques tion now as it would have been at An tiefam, Dona' son, Gettysburg, Vicks burg or Petersburg. when we stood shoulder to shoulder facing the foe that
 was trying to dIsmember our union.
 Loyalty was the watchword then that
 made hearts touch, let Joy lliy and the
 memory Of what 1t did fo- the nation
 and our age, keep the f. u ,h of hearts
 sacred until the taps sound over all our grares.
