me O,se Side.

ED. PRosPEcToR- y attention has been called to an article from Dos Cabezas published in your paper of March 27th which as far as it relates to me is most outrageous distortion of facts.
 do not here pretend to discuss the matter of the suit at law between the heirs of McGregor and the Casey Bros, "when the trial cones on the whole truth will come out" The fol- lowing paragraph will mislead those who are not familiar with the cIrcum- stances:
 "When John Casey gave Stewart X Norton the Ewell Springs location on the Juniper lode without any consid- eration than friendship"
 Had your correspondent taken the trouble to satisfy himself on this point by reference to the records, he would not, unless prompted by malice have made such statement public. MT. Norton and my self bought one half interest in the ESell Springs lode from Lieut.. now Capt. Gordon U. $. A The purchase was made in 1876 as nearly as can remember, since which time, we, in connection with MaJor Madden, an original locator, have ex. pended $500 in assessment work alone and some three thousand dollars in development work. Again:
 "It is alleged that MT. Stewart is now trying to force the Casey's to sell or consolidate their valuable property with this unsaleable claim" To this I answer that for nearly if not quite two years no negotiations have been had looking to the sale of Ewell Springs mine. Tn one respect the mine is unsaleable; why it is un- ssleable will be understood by every one in Dos Csbezas at least, but I doubt if any of the pioneers of that charming but unfortunate burg will say that the mine is not 8 good one. Very Truly Yours, NJ. W. STEWART.

Is censuring these who are blamed for the escape of ten prisoners from the county jail last night, those who are responsible for their gross injustice of derriving them of their liberty with out giving them an opportunity to be tried, should come in for a good share of the reproaeh. A man is sup posed to be innocent until proven guilty, according to the legal way of putting it, and the incarceration of nine innocent men, for months, with out a trial, should receive the strong est condemnation.

The decline in the price of silver has had the effect, in one instance, of putting stop to preparations being made for starting up one of our long idle mines in this district. It had been the intention of putting 30 men to work on the Head Center & Tran quility property, but it is understo cd that plans have been changed during the past two or three days, and noth- ing will be done until silver gives some sign of life again.

MUCH comment will be made upon the opionion of Attorney-General Herring as to the legality of taxing mining claims. It will be q source of revenue that will aid materially in reducing the rate of taxation. There are in the neighborhood of 2OOO loca- tions in Cochise county that will pay on an average of $4 each, which will bring in $s0O0. This will come with in a few dollars of paying for the pulp iicstion of the delinquent tax list and materially aid in as isting the news papers to boom the resources of the richest county in the territory.

The honest, fearless press of the territory will approve it and endorse i': A muzzled press has no weight. Money and influence viii be brought to bear against the bill, and are strong argu- ments to combat in any struggle. An overwhelming public opinion alone can force favorable action.

It is the gov ernment's duty to protect the weak, as against shese avaricious leeches, who would crush them by the enactment of unjust laws.

 This would seem a contradiction IS so, in fact, to the eye. But exper- fence has proved its possibility. Take the case of the individual who dwelis in a malarious region. A robust con- stitution is no certain defense against the dreaded chills. What is, Re- corded testimony, covering period little short of half century, proves that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is precisely this. This continent does not unit the field where the medicine has proved it's efficacy, In South America, the Isthmus of Panama, Mexico, everywhere, in fact, where miasma born disease takes on it's most obstinate and formidable types, the Bitters is recognized specific in il- lImitahle demand, and prescribed by physicians of repute.

WAsHrNGToS- Speaker Crisp ex- pressed himself freely to-day upon the silver question, and refuted the charges that have been made against him by members of his party, As to Mir. Blands reference to the speakers op- position of free silver or duplicity, the speaker said he had nothing to say except to recall that by his casting his vote he had prevented the bill from being tabled and 10 stand. As a rep resentative from Georgia he favors and will vote for the free coinage of silver. To show that he was in favor of the free coinage of silver the speaker recalled the fact that he had appointed committee which favored the meas ure and had appointed Mir. Bland at the head of that committee, notwIth- standing MT. Bland had been an active opponent of MT. Crisp in the speaker ship contest. Although in favor of

THE BREAK IN SILVER.


 NEW YoRK-The Post says: New York selling was not responsible for the sensational break m silver yester- day and today. On both occasions the London silver market went to pieces early in the day and our quo tations were merely marked down to correspond. There is an impression to the contrary in London, but it is undoubtedly mistaken. London transactions have in fact controlled he mo yement of silver absolutely for a month past and have been the pre- pondering influence for very much longer. Here in New York trading m silver has virtually become limited to tbe sales of produces to exporters, usually conducted for storage facilities through stock exchange certificates.

THE DROWNING SEASON.
Four Persons Have Lost Their Lives During
the Past Week.

the fa<f week.
During the past week there have been four
cases of drowning in the waters of the Eastern
branch and the Potomac river in the vicinity Of
this city, one case resulting from the upsetting
of q boat and the others happened TO persons
who were swimming The first OF the sad
chapter of accidents happened TO Mr.. z. H.
Underwood. who was thrown into the river by
the upse;ting of boat. AS published in TER
STAR at the time. The accident happened Sun
day evening the unfortunate man and COM
panion were returning home from a pleasant
sail down the river. His funeral took place
yesterday afternoon.
Tuesday Mr. F. W. Cber lost his life in Little
river near Analostan Island. where he was
swimming. His body was recovered with but
little difficulty and taken 10 his late home, from
where his funeral took place last evening.
The next victim WAS George Davis, who lost
his life in the Eastern branch. where he went
swimming "wednesday. George a Young
colored man who lived in East Washington. and
his body recovered this morning.
The Inst Of the unfortunate quartet was
Michael Gleason. who was drowned in the East
ern branch yesterday. published in yester-
days STAR. His body had not been recovered
this morning
Tuesday might the body OF some unknown
person seen floating in the river near Four
mile run. and Wednesday morning it was again
seen in the river by some boys Ii lis probable
that the body was that of Underwood although
one of the inmates of 81. Elizabeths escaped
Monday evening. and If is possible that he got
into the river and was drowned, and that it was
his body.
Friends of the bathing beach use the numer-
Gus cases of drowning as argument in favor
of the beach. As it is, with the beach closed.
the swimmers will go to isolated places. and in
the course Of the season more will probably get
drowned than were lost al the beach last year
The Eastern branch is being dragged for the
only body that is now missing.
