EDITORIAL NOTES.

Indications point to the election of Sherman as senator from Ohio. Ex-Congressman Perkins of Kan sas, has been appointed United States senator to succeed Senator Plumb.
 Only 7,73S votes were cast m the entire territory at the recent cleo ton on the adoption of the consti- tuition.
 It now looks as if Slavin and Sul- livan would do their fighting with their jaws. A sort of another Chil can affair.
 If Edward Nj. Field wants to starve himself, who should say nayI It is stated that the world IS over populous any way.
 The Worlds Fair management has decided to allow the sale of liquors on the grounds. This is probably for the pursose of accom- modating the Bourbons in attend ance.
 Hon. John J. Cresswell, who was postmaster general under Gen eral Grant during his second term, died at his home at Elkton, Mary land. Decembe 23d.
 It has become a sort of epidemic for cranks to try to kill millionaires. Attempts were recently made to kill Cornelius Vanderbilt iii New York, and George W. Chiids of Philadel- phia. Both attempts proved unsuc- cessful.
 We are glad to note that the good resolutions of the new proprietors of the Phenix Gazette. to refrain from indulging in personal abuse, has been kept up to date. John Dun bar has the ability to make good paper out of the Gazette if he will only refrain from his former prac- tice of abusing everybody that does not happen to agree with him, and we desire to congratulate him on the success he has achieved in this di- rection up to date.

A Montana exchange states that the cattlemen of that state are now
 ia fear that they are going to ex-
 perience great opposition and hard
 ship in bringing cattle into that
 state from the south next spring.
 The disposition of the cattlemen in
 Wyoming is such that will throw
 every obstacle in the way of unload
 ing cattle to be driven to Montana,
 and it is certain that Dakota will
 not allow the southern cattle to be dumped in that state. This puts things in bad shape, as fully
 as many cattle are expected to be shipped north the coming spring as were shipped last spring. Our exchange says southern cattle must of necessity be brought in, and not withstanding the opposition of the Wyoming cattlemen, the cattle will have to be driven from points in Wyoming if no way out of the di lemma appears. On account of the close drawing of the quarantine lines in Texas, the main bulk of northern shipments will necessarily be made from Arizona and New Mexico, and it is hoped the difficult ties now existing between our north ern brethern may be amicably ad- justed, although northern buyers really anticipate that the bringing of cattle in next spring will be an ordeal beset with hardship and loss.

The Financial Outlook.

W. J. Chamberlain & Co.'S Den
 yer financial circular of December
 30th, gives the following very cheer
 full and encouraging view of the
 financial situation:
 The general reports of last weeks
 business are necessarily so restricted
 as to form no just comparison, since
 all exchanges were closed from
 Thursday to Monday. The situa-
 ton, however, brings the year to a
 close with truly brilliant prospects
 for the near future. Grain is at present leaving the country at the rate of five million dollars per week, and cotton and petroleum in equally large proportions. The estimate is that $2O0,OO0,OOO will be the value coming back to us from Europe. Already the gold flow from the other side has reached close to S30,0O0,0O0. The staples feel the improved and quicker pulse of the money market. The surplus reserve at New York stands above S20,000,0OO, and money is easy, with prime paper and de- mand at five per cent. discount. The railway dividends now being de- clared have all been very satisfac- tory. The Lake Shore, Michigan and Kansas Southern have all declared their regular dividends, with additions respectively of an extra l, x1s and ] per cent.
 The copper market has taken sudden turn. Just how, why or where, no one seems to know, except on the principle of the natural con tradictory quality of markets. The whole situation looked like tumble to ten cents, when, "presto change" 1925 is bid with nothing obtainable; then l02 follows, with sales of 2OO,- )OO pounds; and sharp on its heels come sales of close to 100000 pounds Lake at 10.50, and finally one lot at 10s. The Calumet & Hecla having unloaded trifie, assumed to hold the price at eleven cents, and other companies promptly followed suit, and marked up their price to 105.

While most of people stand in mortal dread of la grippe, with all its dangerous complications, there is one man in Prescott who sings its praises. That gentleman is Hon. John G. Campbell. The reason of his apparently unreasonable senti- ment in regard to this disease is ex- plained by him as follows: He has for several years been great suf- ferer from asthma, and for five or six years has not been able to lie down in bed and sleep but has been compelled to woo the god of sleep in a reclining position. A month or SO since he had an attack of Ia grippe, which gave him a very lively tussle, as he was quite sick with it. But since his recovery of this disease he has not had any asthmatic troubles and can now stretch himself flat in bed and sleep as sweetly as an infant, something, as already stated, that he has not been able to do for six years. Wheth- CT 1t will prove permanent cure of his troubles remains to be seen, but up to date his experience has been most satisfactory.

Mining inte,Ilrenes

A party who went out to locate mine, in the Hassayampa district on New Years eve, says that lit le before midnight beacon lights coulc be seen on every hillside nearly, o people who were either doing theil assessment work with lead pencils, or who were intent on jumping some other fellows claim.
 County Recorder C. H. Akers in forms tho JoURNAL-MINER that his records show a greater number o aflidavits of assessment done or mining claims during the year 1891 than n any previous year in the his tory of the county. This certainly speaks we'll for the mining outlook as it is an evidence that owners ol mining claims are taking nor, active interest in their development It is evidence also that they mus be showing up better, and that they are not willing to take chances or losing them
 The first instrument filed for rec ord for the year 1892 with the coun ty recorder was the location notic, of the Dick Deadeye mining claim. It is scarcely necessary to add, for the information of our Prescott readers particularly, that the loca tor of the claim was old Dick Dead eye (Jules Bauman) himself, of the Prescott Pinafore company. TC judge from the energy spent and the hardships experienced ill To- eating it, Mir. Baumann evidently thinks the claim a good one. He left Prescott on Thursday night be. tween 7 and s o'clock, walking through eight inches of snow, with the thermometer ranging uncom- fortably close to zero, about nine ol ten miles, to Lynx creek district put up his monuments, and filing location notice in one of them re turned to Prescott, reaching here about six o'clock Friday morning in an exhausted condition. He says that if he had had another half mile to have gone he thinks he could not have made 1t. As it was, his feet were badly frost-bitten, and he is still sore and suffering from the effect of his trip.

New Year Notes From Tip Top.

TR Tor. Jan. 2.- Regular cor respondence. Tip Top is about the same old camp as in days of yore. Regular shipments are being made by the chloriders, the lucky ones being Messrs Minges, Odell, Johnson and the Tip Top Co.
 The Wallapai Go. has been rein forced by Messts. Joe Geestring, De Gent and Waldenmeyer.
 Tom Wade and Go. began opera tions on the once famous Arizona mine, with good prospects.
 Bill Tyack is still prospecting the Foy mine. He has just shipped a couple of tons of about 3OO-ounce ore.
 Xmas was observed here in the usual way during the day, and a pleasant dance at night given by MT. and Mrs. Geo. Wager. Prof. Uncle Dick Gordon, and assistant, furnished the music. H. Helm walked off with the cake, for the most graceful dancing.
 Claim jumping was Tn order on New Years eve, although only two or three claims were jumped, which have caused rumors of war between parties in Tip Top, heretofore sup posed to be peaceful and law abiding citizens. Outsiders will watch the case with interest and see how they will come out.
 The new quartz mill on Humbug will be completed in about four weeks, when they propose to do custom work for the miners of this section. Something of this kind is much needed in the district, and with north and south railroad via Black Canyon will make this one of the most prosperous camps in the Territory. Hopingto hear the loco motive whistle soon, we remain, as ever, WIDE AwAK. {.

An old Prediction.

As our last Christmas came on Friday, the following old English prediction, which is in the Harleian Ms, No. 2252, in the British Mu- scum, will be of interest: "If Christmas day on Friday be, The first of winter hard shall be; With frost and snow, and with great
 flood,
 But the end thereof it shall be good. Again, the. summer shall be good
 also;
 Folk in their eyes shall have great
 woe;
 Women with child, beasts, and corn, Shall multiply, and be lost none. The child that is born on that day, Shall live long, and lecherous be al
 way,
 Who stealeth aught shall be found
 out;
 If thou be sick, it lasieth not"

Garza is making things quite i,

Garza is making things quite in teresting down along the Texas bor- der, He started out as a simple, plain Mexican bandit, but has been increasing in strength at such a rapid rate that within a very short time he may develop into a revolu- honist. The Mexican government has offered reward of SSOO,OO0 for Garza's head. So far, the Mexicans nave killed over 100 men on suspi cion of being revolutionists, and this has tended to drive the poor ranch CTS to join the revolt. The persecu- ton of Catholics by the govern ment has also been a source of strength to Garza, as the clergy in many places have pronounced in his favor. Carza may yet lead a revolution, although the chances are against him, particularly if he persists in remaining on American soil.

Russell Sage is mildly spoken of as an abstemious man who neither drinks, smokes nor indulges in big feeds. About the latter there can be no doubt so long as the feeds were to be paid for, but when his brother directors instituted a free lunch in their board-room the old man could get through three coures and a remove as readily as a hot knife through a pat of butter.-Ex

Horse thieves have been opera ting in the Yellowstone country, on a gigantic scale during the past month. Ranchers and grangers along the Wyoming line estimate the losses at 800 head.

Oui contemporary ClOSSS us art
 icle by an indirect fling" personally
 at the editor of this paper by saying
 that the people who advocated the
 test oath are 'most generally found
 holding down some federal position,
 etc" Does the fact of man hold
 ing an appointment from the general government debar him from ex- pressing either his individual views or the views of the party he repre- sents, without being the subject of attempted ridicule. So far as the is concerned its posi- tion on the question of Mormonism was we'll defined years before its editor ever thought of ''holding down" a government or any other position. It has for over nine years consistently and consistently fought against the encroachment of Mor- monism and every other ism, which, under the cloak of religion attempts to control the politics of the terri tory, by issuing mandatory orders to its members how to vote, and which, under such guise, robs its members of their personal liberty and freedom to act according to their own individual convictions. It will continue on the same line too whether its editor "holds down a federal position with a death grip" or not, and it again sounds the note of warning that the admission of Arizona with its present Mormon favoring constitution means the es- tablishment of a Mormon state.
