Casa Grande Ruins.

The government appropriation for the restoration of the Casa Grande ruins is about expended. The foundation of the walls which were likely to fall on account of the destructive weather, has been strengthened by underpining them with brick, which has been covered with cement and leaves the walls of this ruins much like their original appearance. The earth has been removed from within the interior of the walls for about one story in depth. Nothing of importance was found in the debris save quan- titles of charcoal, which was evi- dently produced by the confagra- tion in the building. The opening on the doors and windows have been restored to their original shape with brick and cement. Iron gird- CTS have been run through the build ing to strengthen it and to main tain the walls in place.
 An additional appropriation will be applied for to the next congress to complete the restoration and cov- CT the building.-Star.

Chicago, Nov. 19.-One hundred men representing manycattle breed ers' associations, and nearly every section of the United States met at the Grand Pacific to-day, for the purpose of forming a national cat tie breeders association.

New Timber Cutting Regulations.

Commissioner Carter, of the gen. eral land office, has issued the form ofa permit to be granted to persons applying to cut timber from the public lands. Among the stipula- tions is one forbidding the cutting of more than fifty per cent. of the timber of each class growing on any acre. Monthly statements un- der oath are required giving de- scriptions of the tract from which timber is cut, the amount cut and how disposed of. No tree shall be cut or removed which are less than a specified number of inches in di- ameter except for needed roadways through the timber. A person cut ting timber is required to cut, re- move and burn or otherwise dispose of the tops and brush of trees. etc., to prevent forest fires, and he will be held liable in damages for the spread of any fire attributable to his neglect.-Journal Miner,

THE New York Herald says that the influenza, or "la grippe" has again made its appearance in Lon don and Paris, and is epidemic in Vienna, and expresses the convic- tion that 1t is on its way to Amer ica. This is the same disease that ravaged the country last spring and in 1889. We are now free from it, but that is no reason that it may not come again, especially as the same conditions are now said to exist as heralded its advent on the previous occasion. The Herald sug- gests that precautions be taken against it. but he is a wise man who can name the precautions that will keep out so insidious and little ua- derstood a disease.

'Rah for the Constitution.

There were 116 votes cast in the St. Johns precinct, of which 112 were for the constitution and four against. Majority for 10S. Were unable to hear from any outside precincts up to the hour of going to press; but, from the best inform ation obtainable, think the consti- tuition will have majority of about three hundred in the county. which is twice as much as was expected by its advocates.

he shall not be nominated without serious contest.
 The success of Governor Boies in Iowa, carrying the whole Democrat ic state ticket with him, presents him as the most hopeful of all the candidates for the second place. His nomination would make Iowa debateable, while Cleveland's nom- ination would make Massachusetts doubtful and a Democratic ticket that makes Massachusetts and Iowa uncertain states could not be de- feated.

Harry Scott who was indicted by the grand jury for attempt to com init murder was brought before the court this morning and pleaded not guilty and said he did not want an attorney. The charged preferred against Scott is for having waylaid V. Fl. Igo a few days ago in the Huachuca mountains and attempt ing to kill him with a rock. Igo claims that he was riding along the road when Scott jumped from be- hind bush and struck him with a rock, knocking him off his saddle after which he straddled him and began beating his brains out. Some one came along and stopped the performance before Igo was killed. He has hard looking head to vouch for his story.-Prospeetor.

TIE Democratic national ticket seems to have been clearly settled, says the Philadelphia Press, by the people themselves. The obvious Hull in the silver craze. the political annihilation of the Farmers Ali ance as political power, the logi- cal prominence given the tariff is- sue and the success of the Demo- crats where CleveIand's political theories were accepted, all point to Mr. Cleveland as the candidate, and there must be revolutionary change in Democratic sentiment if

Despite all that is said and done

Despite all that is said and done there is an element of chance in mining that makes it attractive to all mankind, and probably a ma- jority of those who invest in mines, do it in a gambling spirit, as it were. We have several instances in mind where tenderfeet have gone in where old hands saw no encour- agement, and struck it. Then there are cases of mining done in a sem sible business-like manner that fail ed to connect. These are doubtless exceptions to the rule but just now the exceptions are prominently be- fore the public eye.-Pueblo and Metal Review.

The Apache Indians religious belief prevent them from commit ting murder in the dark, If a doz- en Apaches should discover a man sleeping by his camp fire at night, no amount of money would induce them to attack him until the sun came up. They believe that if they kill man at night their own souls will walk in eternal darkness for ever. Knowing this curious super stition, hunters, scouts, trappers and others travelling through the Apache country, move about during the night and lay in some safe re- treat during the day.-Mine and Lariat,

W. H. Hardy in boring for water at Yucca this week struck a sub- stance at a depth of sixty feet which is reported by competent judges to be coal of the finest quality. It will float on water, but when ignited gives forth bright flame similar to the light of a kerosene lamp. The extent of the coal bed is as yet un- known, but immediate steps will be taken to ascertain the area of the find. Should a large body be encountered 1t would prove of in- caluable benefit to this county and old Mohave would add another in- dustry to her already long list. Everyone who has seen the speci- men which came up in the sand pump, are confident that the sub- stance is coal and Capt. Hardy in forms us that he is assured of ind ing an extensive deposit of the car boniferous substance. Hope he is right, but it sounds too good to be true.-Mohave Miner.

YESTERDAY the Atlantic and Pa cifc Railroad Company paid taxes in this county, paying in the sum of $16,4 4S3.56.-Albuquerque Citi- zen, Nov. 24th.
 The people of Apache would be pleased to hear of their doing the same in this county. It would afford our Tax Collector a great deal of pleasure to write the Rail- road Company a receipt in full, not only for the taxes of 1890, but for two or three years back taxes which should have been paid long since, according to the ter ms of the compromise made with this coun- ty. Had the money been paid at the time specified, the Treasurer could have called and paid out standing warrants to the amount of $45,0O0 or s50,000 and stopped the interest, thereby saving the tax-pay- CTS several thousand dollars. But those whose duty it is to push this collection are, to all appearances and perfectly indifferent to the matter; let things take their own course, rather than take steps to force collections.

\ Famine in Mexico.

Durango (Mex ), Nov. 14.-The total failure of the corn and bean crops in this State, owing to drought is causing intense suffering among the poor. The price of corn has risen to an enormous figure, selling in some parts of the State at over $1 a bushel. The laboring people of Durango have neither work nor food. The better classes who are so fortunate as to have food are compelled to guard their supplies closely to prevent the famished horde from robbing them.

A thirty pound chunk of solid native silver was recently extracted and forwarded to Denver, Colorado, as a specimen, and solid chunks of native silver as large as ones fist are being'taken out almost daily with the ore, The specimens closely resemble the rich rock taken from the Rural mine, several years ago by the late T.J.
