Hydrophobia and Snake Bites.

ORo BLANCO, August 70, 1892.
 EDITOR CITIZEN:-I note tue recent death of a Mexican boy near CritteDden from the effect of skunk bite develop ing raboies, and I wish to draw atten- tion to a reported cure for this terrible disease as well as a remedy for snake bites.
 On the 9th of July Francisco, a son of Octaviano, Mexican working on the AusterlitZ mine here, was bitten during the night whilst sleeping on the ground, by skunk which bit and lacerated his right fore finger severely and had to be choked to death before it would let go. The parents washed the wound with cold water, tied the finger up in a rag and next morning sent hIm to me. His finger had only been half washed and it and the enveloping rag smelt strongly of the skunk and his finger palned him greatly. 1 made him wash it thoroughly with very hot water and soap. | then poured tincture of cedron seed over and into the decorations and the pain was promptly subdued, then applied we'll carbolized vaselIne on lint and gave him internally six drops of the tincture on a lump of sugar with directions to take half dozen similar doses every four hours whilst awaSe, good dose of sul- phate of magnesIa, also change the dres- sing evening and morning, and to re- turn to me should his finger again pain him. He did not return, but l saw him three days afterwards when he said hie finger had not previously troubled him but was then feeling uncomfortable. 1 noticed that 1t was wrapped in a dry, neglected rag, and directed him to apply bread poultice and afterwards dress it as before.
 There was no further trouble, and all though it does not follow that rabies may not yet be developed, or that every person bitten by skunk must neces- sarily have hydrophobia, yet the fact re- mains that he is we'll so far, and the evidences of the remarkable value of the preparations of cedron seed for hydro phobia and snake bites is we'll set forth in the bulletin concerning the drug ob- taina ble from Parke, Davis & Go, of Detroit, Michigan, from whom I had just obtained a supply of the tinctrre at the suggestion of c. W, Kemp ton. M. E. to whom it had been recommended by pr. McGruder who had seen it tested in snake bites with successful results
 Should rabies yet develop itself in the case of thIs boy, intend to use freely the cedron tincture and will post the public as to results, but I trust there will be no further necessity for it's use and l merely write this for the benefit it's publication may possibly do.
 In reference to rattle-snake tites I am informed by pr. F. c. Mueller, of So- nora, that hypodermic injection of a solution of the permanganate of potassa proved promptly curative ln a case he treated of a Mexican badly bitten on the thumb. The value of that remedy is also known to many iD the profession, and the iodide of potassa is also highly endorsed. Used in the same way and also given internally in free doses.
 Respectfully,

The Water Supply.

Mir. Watts. of the city water works, was interviewed this morning as to the quantity of water in the rIver. He states that the water in the river raised some several feet immediately after the rain and then fell again that there is now some two feet of water in the river, that there is good pressure also obtalna ble through the pipes. He has just received a letter from his son in Fl Paso stating that the Rio Grande was quite dry in its most prominent places of heretofore water supply, and that the city was forced to pump water for some of its required needs. So this goes to show that Tucson has been very favorably treated as to water when 1t is considered that Tucson's ueIghbor the city of El Paso. has been forced to extreme efforts to supply her wants in that line.

Board of Supervisors.

The board of supervisors of Pima county met in the room of the county supervisors in the court house this fore noon. The route lately surveyed by County Surveyor Chillson from Tucson to Nogales, shortening the route, was examined closely and considered most favorably for accepting.
 The sealed bids for printing as lately advertised for ballot purposes and other requisites pertaining to the coming election were opened by Clerk Judd and submitted to the board. Bids were re- ceived from San Francisco, Los Angeles, the CITIZEN. Star and Enterprise of Tucson. The board after examining and comparing bids and also quality of paper as required in the premises, awarded the contract to the CITIZEN Thus the CITIZEN as usual got away with the baggage. There were present Supervisor Edward Bullock, Supervisor G. A. Avery and J. A. Judd, Clerk, Supervisor Lacey being absent in Cali- tornis.

The Poisoning Case.

The corOner's jury men met several times this week, in the court house, to examine witnesses in the Areras- L0ok case.
 The Areras family were in costant attendance, and were duly interrogated.
 The pri cipai evidence leading to the apparent crime was that the de; eased had told the Chinamap, Lee Lnnk, at one tune to keep away from the house.
 Quong You, for whom Lee Look had worked, was also examined. His princi- pal evidence is as to the sanity of the accused.
 Lem You, rather intelligent looking Chinaman, was charged wi h having bought strychnine recently at the drug store. c. W. French was certain as to him being the same person, but Lem You absolutely denied the charge.
 It was also stated that Lee Look told the deceased that he was going to die, before administering the dose, and sat around for half an hour until the spasms came on, when be hastily left.
 The Mexicans believe the Chinaman has gone to Sonora. Apparently no steps have been taken to intercept him in his flight.
 The general testimony as to Look s character was good. Opinion differs as to the cause of his poisoning Pablo Areras. It may have been an insane dread. for the Chinaman's mind has been rather unsound for several months past.
 A change of venue places the case before Justice Benson to-day.-Tribune.

Colonel Franciscn Arnizn.

Cslonel Fransisco Arvizo, who six years ago had some serious trouble on American soil at Nogales, Arizona, for which he was sentenced to death and afterwards obtained a communication of sentence O. 9 years imprisonment in the military prison of Santiago (this cIty) where he is now serving his term, is reported as being seriously i'll from the effects of various old wounds received in numerous campaigns and which were not properly treated at the time he receiv- ed them. In view of this fact his friends are making strenuous efforts to get the authorities to grant him permission to transfer his quarters to place more adequate for treatment than the place of his confinement.
 Considering the circumstances un1er which Colonel Arvizu was sentenced and his present sufferings it would be most graceful act of the people of Arizona to petition President Diaz for the purpose of procuring the unfortunate mans par don, Let the American papers in Tue son and Nogales take the matter up.- Anglo-American, City of Mexico.

ApoIlinaris and the Knight.

A Knight Templar is nothing if not gallant, and the more so if away from the codhng influence of his wife, when the bows and smiles of sun kissed Cnesterfields are at full swing for 3715 cents per yard. If the mailed hosts of Painim could be covered by a dot of French kid (size 21a, regular price S3.00) the doughty Templars would sheathe their trusty blades in the pleural cavity of the pagan's left lung, with oaths greater than the half fabled deeds of Barbarossa or a taxpayers kick when the assessor sees his tax return and goes him one better.
 A Knight from Tucson who had met the Gi,a monster on the desert and had smote the horned toad in lis upas lair, recently broke speech with Hospitali- tors of Denver. He became, while in that city of allurements, enamored of the enchanting figure of wax woman dancing the can-can under a sign "Ad- mittance to Men Only" The Knightly knee bert in courtly adoration, or rath- CT. as the envious said, for better ob- servation of the revolving houri, and hIs soul yearned for greater eyes than the lens in the Lick telescope, while he
 
 Poetical DedicatiOns.
 A Tuccon Knight, Tn the city of the Red State, ,oyerburdened with apollinaris and a grIp on his conscience bigger than the Peoples Party or newspaper mans liabilities, was for the nCnce a better drawing card than capital prize in the Louisiana lottery. Rising ma jestically from his recum bent position, he said, With Severus, I have seen all things, but, true Knight that 1 am, I will pass in where only men are ad- mitted." Unfortunately hls yoke of apo llinaris had not been properly ad> justed and as he strode forward be lurched unceremoniousy against young daEsel apparently tying one of her shoes. "J beg, fair maid, thousand pardons," sad the Templar, as he blushed more sweetly than gold en rose bles sed by the Pope, ''can I as- sist you?" and as he stopped appealing ly he declared, with the gallantry of a Sydney, that if permitted be would not change such blessed privelage for a bishopric in the M pTmon church. But he was Tn a show of wax figures, an eD- chanted vale, and the maid moved not
 Other Templers, who had met less apolliDaris in the lists, went to his rescue, and the Templar, wounded in heart and weighed with budge, was borne to his cloister, and the wax figure of the girl that had stumped her toe, had to go without coincidence.

EXHIBIT OF EAST INDIA.
It Promises to Be a Large and Attractive
 Display.

 Display.
 The East Indian exhibit is likely to develop into large and attractive dis play. United States Consul General Ballantine at Bombay, in a recent com municatiOn to Director General Davis. shows that interest in the worlds fair is becoming very general in the large cities and at some of the native courts of India. The native princes as we'll as Opulent merchants and manufactur- CTS are now fully awakened to the i'm pOrtance of a representation.
 Consul General Ballantine paid an of ficial visit to the court of his highness the guicOwar or maharajah of Baroda. The guicowar of Baroda is the most i'm pOrtant prince in western India. After showing Consul General Ballantine every attention the prince confirmed his promise of assistance given in a pre- vious interview by officially instructing his prime minister to give. every assur- ance of assistance, and added that he would get an exhibit from his principal ity representing a value of certainly not less than ten thousand rupees and probably much more. The guicowar added that he would possibly make this much larger and more extensive. His action in this regard is most likely to induce other native princes to follow it. The guicowar's brother, his excellency Sumgatra, has already promised to visit Chicago. With large retinue of off cers and attendants he contemplates visiting England next year. The visit of native East Indian prince, sur rounded by his official staff and retinue of native assistants,Avould be striking and attractive incident of the exposition period.
 The official jeweler to his highness, the maharajah of Clutch, has decided to send rare specimens of fiigree gold and silver work. The brahmo samaj of h. dia in Calcutta has chosen Babu P. c. MozOomdar. and the arya samaj of In- dia has selected Swami BhaSkaranand as representatives of their HindoO sects to the worlds religious congress to be held at Chicago ID connection with the exposition. \ HindOo gentle man is making arrangements for two hundred of his coUntrymen to visit the ras

The Tucson Athletic Club.

The association under the energetic management to which it has been en- trusted is making most successful head way. Close on to S1,000 has been sub- seribed already and large building is now negotiated for which will be placed in first class condition so that Tucson need not have any blush for the appear ance of the building in which this asso- citation holds forth nor for the lack of science that any one could attempt to charge up to its members, because its management have expressed themselves that the club shall be first class in every thing that pertains to it. Messrs. Tiche- nor, Tourney and Bowman are working earnestly in behalf of the enterprise and they are met with generous response from all sides. Success to the Tucson Athletic Association and applause for the heroes of the world of a'hleticism who in the arena of future contests will carry their flag to victory.

Mining Notes.

Chas. Leach and Col Herring drove out to the State of Maine mlne this afternoon. There is considerable activ- ity in that sec tion. Col. Herring owns the Guiding Star. one of the best pro ducers at present out there.
 The Herschel mlne owned by Ben Cook and Mark Smith, will be closed down soon. The low price of silver coupled with the fact that they both have sufficient means to keep the wolf from the door, is the reason assigned for stopping work. A shipment is about ready to be sent to the smelter.
 The Windfeld mine is being chlorided by Dave Jones. He has ten men at work for him and is shipping remarksb- ly rich ore.
 Since the Grand Central folks turned their properties over to chloriders, the shipments from Tombatone district have incT essed very materially. The fact is apparent to any observer of what IS going on, that more precious metal is being produced in this district includ- Ing Turquois, than for i've years past Prospector.
 NIT. Ignacio Calbilio, foreman of Res cue Hose Co. No. ?, has lost large silver badge. The badge contains an inscription: "Foreman of Rescue Hose Go. 2" Any one finding same will please report the fact to MT. Calbillo.

SILVER CONVENTION.
A Call to Meet in Fl Paso on
 the 9th of December.

FL PAso, Texas, Aug, 15, 1892. To the Prospectors, Miners, Mine and
 Claim owners of New Mexico, Arizona
 and Western Texas
 In obedience to the will and instruc- tions of the Southwest Silver Conyen- ton and mass meeting of miners held in thls city on the 10th, 16th and 17th days of December, 1891, your executive and subcommittee, charged with per petuating the annual assemblage of the miners of the southwest, in Fl Paso, do Tn virtue of the authority vested ID them, announce that the second annual South West Silver Convection and mass meeting of miners will convene in Fl PasO, Decem Der ,, 1892, at 9 am.
 The silver industry IS at this moment Tn critical condition, mines are closing down and the further exploration and development of the mineral resources Of the southwest have received a seri- ous check. During the past twelve months the enemies of bimetallism have been active, so much so, that on the l2th of August, 1892 silver reached the lowest figure in it's history, S215 cents, or but 214 cents above the estimated average cost of production of the ounce of silver Tn the southwest.
 Still greater dangers threaten the in- dustry of the future, at no time in the annals of silver mining has 1t be- come more necessary for those engaged in tLe industry to organize and take prompt action to preserve their interests and demand the restoration of a system that from the administration of George Washington until the year 1873, was one of the influences that made of the Unit ed States the greatest and most prosper ous nation upon earth.
 The restoration of silver to its natur- al and traditional ratio of value with gold 16 to 1, will engage the attention of the second southwest silver convention and the attempted introduction of any extraDeous question likely to breed dis cord among the assembled miners will be promptly suppressed by the presid- ing officer. Miners are urged to be pre- sent upon the occasion and to otherwise lend their assistance to a cause that now, if ever, requires friends and advo- cates. CHAs. LoNGUEMARE,
 President Executive Committee.

MIR. ORMSBY RETURNS
From the Great ConcIave.-Our
 Many Opportunities.

MT. Ormsby of the Western Union office, has returned to the city from his visit to Denver to witness the great parade of the Knights Templars He apeake in terms of great pleasure of his trip. Those who saw the great exhibit of fruit from Arizona were skeptical and dubious that they came from this Territory, supposlng they were pro- ducts of much advertised CaliforI ia. They were assured that the fruit vas from the we'll laden orchards of this fertile Territory and they expressed themselves in wonder and delight that such was the case. Mir. Ormsby says that the headquarters of the Arizona Knights were continuously crowded and most favorable impression expressed on all sides in behalf of the Territory. This celebration of the Knights Temp lars and also the now large assemblage of the Knights of Pythias afforded two beautiful opportunities to the board of trades of this Territory to have adver- tised ArIzona to the amount of millions in profitable returns. but outside of the energetic efforts made by progressive Phoenix there was hardly anything done m the way of attractive advertising.

Scene of Yesterdays Fire.

A visit this morning to the scene of yesterdays fire wherein a neat and pret- ty cottage was destroyed and comfort able home adjoining totally ruined found a number of young boys pushing aside and removing the blackened, burned and charred pieces of wood that were scattered over the ground. Some were digging to find a few souvenirs that might have escaped the cousumin 2 power of the flames. Mrs. Reed who owned the adobe structure adjoining and which the flames swept pretty eff fectually when approached and askt d if she had any insurance upon the build ing, replied that "there was none." When asked if she would build a brick building, she replied, "No, that she would repair the present adobe struc- ture." She stated that had there been sufficient water her building could have been saved.
