PeriShed on the Plains.

Thursday afternoon a Mexican brought in word that the remains oi a Chinaman had been discoyered across the river near the Tempe road Ex-oficio Coroner Stillman jmme. diately empaneled a jury consisting of John Whitlow, A. Lancer, Dave Gibson, John Buckelshausen, c. F Palmer, T. L. Stoufer, foreman. They took the informant with them for a guide.
 Arriving at the scepe, the remains proved to be of a man who had been dead two or three weeks. The body was wasted almost to 8 skeleton, the flesh having either decayed away or been picked off by the denizens of the plains, with the exception oi the legs below the knee, protected by the boots. The drawn skin of the face was, however, sufficiently intact to make recognition possible to an intimate acquaintance.
 The type of the features favored the Mongolian race. A Chinaman present at first thought it to be the missing Lee Look. The head was brought to town for identification and at the inquest held the next day was definitely identified by a num- Der as that of a Yaqui Indian, known about Florence as "Zachari- as." His real name was Jose Checo, and his residence at Adamsville. His wife died several months ago. He leaves daughter in Mesa. Peo- pie who employed the man speak highly of him as a steady, hard worker.
 It appears that the man attempt ed to walk from Mesa city to Flor ence, and probably fell exhausted in the sun, from exposure and thirst.-Florence Tribune.

Mounted Inspector G. W. Graham of La Noria, came in Friday morn- ing and reported to Collector Christ that Deputy Collector Reppy of that port had been arrested while taking drive across the line with Mrs. Reppy. It seems that MT. keppy was at the time without coat or shoes, simply wearing his slip pers and had gone out for a buggy ride-eyen neglecting to wear his official badge. Mrs. Reppy was re- leased and permitted to return home but Reppy was held. As soon as word reached Collector Christ he called at the Mexican custom house and Commandante Chapital sent a messenger with Inspector Graham ordering the release of MT. Reppy.
 It is claimed that the Mexican force in that locality is composed entirely of new men and that Mr. Reppy being without his badge was placed under arrest. Another ver- sion of the affair is that the arrest was retaliatory step occasioned by the arrest short time ago by Reppy of a Mexican smuggler who was held to bail.
 The matter we understand is to be thoroughly ventilated.-Nogales Herald.

Bill Nye as a EorSeman.

Bill Nye has taken to equestrian ism for insomnia. He relates his experience as follows 1.-Two weeks ago I began horseback riding at the suggestion of my physician, who is a thoroughly good man and senior warden and tyler in our church here.
 "Today my pulse is normal.
 Respiration noticeable.
 Temperature 734.
 "My physician reports some abrasions and one severe concussion of the cornice. He says that if I had been fatter there would have been number of flesh wounds.
 Il was trying my new riding hab- 1t from Boston. My riding habit was formed there. But where erred was in trying the habit with out blinding the horse. You can't come into full bloom that way all of sudden on a horse that has had no advantages and who has never been accustomed to a great burst of loveliness.
 "So we came home from the trial by different roads. When my wife saw the palfrey coming home wear ing the saddle over his stomach she saidit was just like me to send home the horse draped that way just to please the dear one, before I got there myself.
 My fall reminded me very much of Adams. it was so sudden and so hard. I fell more painfully than the author of Beautiful Snow,' but I can overcome it in society quick CT. It was the most painful thing that has happened since the war and inside of twenty minutes I met all the people of North and South Carolina with whom I am acquaint- ed, besides 70 or 80from New York, who are here for their health and watching to see better people fall off their horses.
 "Ihave always said that the roads here should be macaiamized, but if they can be upholstered at the same price it would suit me bet ter.
 "This horse grew up on the from tier, andis a sort of self-made horse, Civilization seares him almost to death. So he unseated me as though I had been the snap delegate of 8 rump convention. I still remain so."

The proprietress of the Pioneer hotel has an elephant on her hands, not very big one, but just big enough to furnish her a daily and perplexing problem. A couple of weeks ago a woman named Louisa Baxter was locked up for drunken ness. It was discovered the next day that she had baby about eighteen months old and neighbors who called at the house found the little fellow sitting on the floor, fearful and hungry. He was cared for and a day or two later was ta- ken to the Pioneer. He is there yet and his unnatural mother is, no one knows where. The child is unusu. ally bright and handsome, but he happens to be just now a sort of elephant.-Phenix Republican.

Some of it's mines have been paying properties for years.- Phenix Herald.

SiIyerpeg's Faro Game.

Whenever I see a faro game am reminded ot a story told on Silver peg. an old prospector. He was a taciturn man and spent most of his time prospecting in Sonora and Arizona. He got his nickname from the fact that one of his legs was amputated at the knee, necessita ting his wearing a wooden pegsand the additional fact that he was al- ways prospecting for silver. Silver peg had two ambitions in life-one was to strike rich silver mine, in which event he swore he would make himself a silver leg to replace the wooden one he hobbled around on l; the other was to beat faro by his system. His system was for cer- tain cards to win clear through and others to lose in the same manner.
 For years Silyerpeg had spent his summers in prospecting without finding "rich silver mine." On the advent of winter he would come to town and endeavor to break the faro banks with his system. The day the earthquake occurred he was at Bavispe, Sonora, and was playing faro; he was playing his system and had been coppering the jack. The jack had lost three times. Silverpeg was in a happy mood, as his system was proving a winning one. He coppered the jack clear up to the limit, being sure that his system was right and that the jack would Jose out. But, before the dealer could make turn, the earth quake came, the walls of the house shook and chairs and tables began to slide over the floor, and the deal CTS and players, being badly fright ened, made rush for the door. When they got out on the street the shock was over. The players, after recovering from their fright, re- sumed their places at the table. They had been so suddenly sur prised by the shock that they had not gathered up their checks, which, on their return, were apparently just as they had placed them. The dealer took his seat, made a turn and the jack lost.
 The shock had knocked the cop per off of Silverpeg's bet and he had not noticed it. The dealer took the bet in and Silverpeg was dumfound- ed. He saw what the earthquake had done. His disgust was intense. Gathering up his remaining chips he cashed them in and turning to the players he said: Boys, I play ed faro before I learned the Lords prayer; I have tackled brace games before, but this is the first time I ever struck bank where Providence stood in with the house. My sys- tenn was all right and if the Lord had held back that shock few deals l would have broke the bank. I can beat the box, but I can't beat Providence. I will never play faro again, the odds are too great"
 Silverpeg kept his word and no inducement could ever persuade him to play faro.-Anaconda Stand ard.

The Grand Canyon.

1 The great river of Arizona is the IColorado. This river drains th'
 whole Territory, every stream with
 in limits being tributary to it. The
 Grand Canyon of the Colorado commences few miles south of the
 point of the entrance of the river
 into this Territory and for distance ofover 400 miles of it's course it plunges through the most stupen- dous chasms on the face of the earth. The gorge varies Tn depth from 1 ,O00 to8, 1000 feet and in width from one to eighteen miles. It is impossible to present word picture that will give anything like an adequate idea of the marvels of this canyon or group of canyons, for within the gorge there are hundreds of other ,chasms, some of them thousands of feet in depth. Stand ing on the cliff of the Marble can yon the huge, turbulent stream at the bottom looks like silver thread. You can travel down to 1t in a days journey, and it will take you another course of the sun to climb back to the summit again. In some places it is so deep and abrupt that the stars glisten in all their nocturnal beauty at midday, while not even a stray gleam of sunshine has ever penetrated the abyss. Think upon it {! miles upon miles of the grandest scenery in na- ture which has never seen a sun- beam, and into which the stars are continually peeping. But the sum- shine can be seen gleaming afar off, making the distant crags ook like burnished gold set with opals and diamonds, the lights and shadows creating strangearchitectural forms palaces, eathedrals, obelisks and bold battlements, behind which Iii tans might have fought Fantastic rocks take the form of huge cities with silent streets, on which there are no footballs, and away behind with their shining towers piercing the azure vaults of heaven, are the temples of the gods. It is a land of dreams and wonders, and any at tempt to describe it in sober, mat
 ter-of-fact language would be out of place. It is undoubtedly the greatest wonder of nature to be found on the eartl and it must be seen before any comprehension can be had of it's marvels. A visitor might spend months here and never tire of it's ever varying beauty. Imagine, if you can, a huge cleft longer than it is from New York to Pittsburg. In places il is nearly as wide as the sea between England and France; in other places so mar row that a rifle ball can be fired across it, and deeper than Pike's Peak is above Colorado Springs. But this only gives an idea of mag nitude. Its myriad marvels and weired beauty are reserved for only those whose eyes are permitted to look upon this wonder land away below the crust of Mother earth.
 A new stage line, connecting with the popular Santa Fe route, has been established between Williams and the Canyon. Tourists can now reach this greatest of all wonders with comfort and ease. Only twelve bonre etoo;o0 IV;II;o,,,o Nocv.

has reduced prices and enlarged the

mas reuuc0C pTlce6 dllu eiliii bcu VI foreign commerce of the country.
 That was not the purpose of th' authors and supporters of that law at the time it passed Congress, al is conclusively shown by the repor which was made to the House o 1 Representatives when the bill was presented to that body. In that re- port Mir. Mckinley, speaking fol himself and all the Republican members of the committee, said:
 "We have not been so much con- cerned about the prices of the arti- cles we consume as we have been to encourage a system of home pro- duction which shall give fairremun- eration to domestic producers and fair wages to American workmen, and by increased production and home competition insure fair prices to consumers"
 And again, the report says;
 "Your committee has not sought by the proposed legislation to fur ther cut down prices at the expense of our own prosperity, but to pro- vide with certainty against that in- creasing competition from other countries whose conditions our peo- pie are unwilling to adopt. We have not believed that our people, al- ready suffering from low prices, can or will be satisfied with any legisla- ton which will result in. lower prices"
 Here IS a clear and emphatic dec laration by the authors of the meas ure that it was not intended to re- duce prices, that it would not, in fact, reduce prices, and that the peo- pie would not be satisfied with any legislation which would produce that result.
 The theory that high prices of commodities are beneficial to the community at large, and that the Mckinley law would increase them, was abandoned by the advocates of that measure immediately after it's passage, and in every part of the country they faced about and either denied that higher prices, in fact, prevailed or that they were not pro- duced by the tariff act. The peo- pie, however, knew better from per- sonal experience and observation in their daily transactions. and Tn No- vember, 1890, the authors of the tariff actwere swept from the House of Representatives by majority of more than S600O0 votes. Never in the history of the country has there been such a storm of popular in- dignation against any single act of legislation as that which over whelmed the advocates of this mea- sure in 1890, and as result we now have the Senator from Rhode Is- land and all the other friends of the protective system who have recent ly spoken upon the subject confess ing that high prices are not beneE- cial to the people and that the orig inal and avowed purpose of the act was wrong; in other words, they now contend that the act has been a success solely because it failed to accomplish what it was intended to accomplish.
