This tariff law has given employ ment to many thousands of Ameri- can men and women, and will each year give employment to increasing thousands. Its repeal would throw thousands out of employment and give work to others only at reduced wages.-HarrisoE in letter of accep- tance.
 The workmen has not been pro- tected from foreign competition by the government. He has had to fight the battle for himself through the labor organization. Not only has he had to fight against foreign competition, largely attracted by our delusive tariff laws, but he has had to wage war with the employer for share of that protection which his government decreed by law that he should have.-Master Workman T. V. Powderly.

Another delay has been met with
 in the matter of the Territorial bond deal. The bonds had been duly ac- cepted by the Equitable Mortgage and Trust Co. and the contract signed, when it's attorney, MT. Dill lion, discovered a flaw which the company alleges makes the bonds non-negotiable. That is, they are negotiable. but the flaw deprives them of their desirability to such an extent that they might practically become non-negotiable for the pur- pose of the present purchases. The objection appears to be only tech nical one which cannot apparently affect the value of the bonds. Up- on the back of the bonds are the words, payable in legal money of the United States" To comply strictly with the law MT. Dillon says this should read, payable in gold coin or it's equivalent" and the company insists that the bonds shall be so amended. It is some what singular that this matter had not been discovered earlier, and it would seem that the objection had been entered too late, inasmuch as the contract has already been sign ed.-Phenix Republican.

A. J. Grice, in charge of Superin- tendent Alex Trippel's residence near the Buffalo smelter, during the latter's recent absence, was bitten under the left eye by'a small skunk, on Thursday night. He was sleep ing on the porch, and was awaken ed by the skunk bouncing upon his face. Grice brushed the vicious lit- tie beast off with considerable force, knocking it off the porch. and was so confused and blinded by the at- tack that he did no see it. But the odor was sufficient proof that it was a skunk, which had been prowling about nightly for some time previ- ous. MT. Grice had seen it repeat edly, and is positive that it is of the species whose bite is so dreaded, and said to cause hvdrophobia. He is, therefore. somewhat alarmed, and will go at once to New York, to be treated by the we'll known Pas teur method of inoculation.-Silver Belt.

There is some excitement in liar qua Hala over the discovery of a big iron ledge. The ledge has lam exposed to view for years and has been known as the iron dyke, but no one supposed it contained any mineral of any amount, and no. .un- til the other day, when an assay proved the immense body to con- tain a very high percentage of iron that will some time be worked with great pro(it.-Phenix Gazette.

One of the accused had sold a. horse to l.. Hernandez day or two ago for $50. The other two men had horses but these horses have not been found. It is thought all three are prominent horse thieves and that Sheriff Olney will recognize them

The Lest Pegleg Mine.

Another expedition has started
 on search for the lost Pegleg mine
 for which hundreds have prayed the
 terrors of the desert and many have
 died on it's burning sands. On
 Thursday of last week. according to the San Diego Union. Messrs. Converse and Grigsby left Campo
 prepared for an extended exploring and prospecting expedition. Mr. Converse has been trapping. and hunting on the desert, and up and down the Gila and Colorado rivers for years. and has been very success ful as an explorer.
 From his experience and observa- tions he is of the opinion that he knows just where the Pegleg mine is located. He says that the three little buttes which Pegleg Smith de- scribed are in a low basin in a de- pression in the desert and cannot be seen until one approaches them very close. He said before starting that he had been on one of them and that it was covered with volcanic glass. The middle one has yellow appearance about half way up, and on the summit it is quite black. In his opinion this is where Pegleg found his gold, it being the highest of three and one which a lost person would naturally climb to take observations. The expedi- tion will investigate that portion of the desert which has never been ex- plored. MT. Converse having pass ed through the locality during the overflow into Salton sea.-Phenix Herald.

There is certainly room m the market for medicine that will do what they claim for this wonderful prepara- ton. Although the price is 8 per bot tie, if it does one-half claimed for it the price should be $1O0 If the druggist has not got it, the remedy will be sent to any address by prepaid express on re- ceipt of price.

Arizona stockmen may do well to investigate the Denver market as a place to dispose of feeders, Re. ports show sale made yesterday two weeks ago of 700 New Mexico feeders at $22.5O q head, and the following day bunch of 25O New Mexico feeders sold for $21.5O per head. It must be understood though that to command such prices cattle must be good, as these un- doubtedly were; but at the same time it would appear that the Den yer market is a good one and would bear investigation.-Willeox Stockman.

A suit was filed in the office the district court clerk, against the Equitable Mortgage Co, of New York. bv the Buckeye canal compa ny, of this city. The writ is in the nature of a demand for fulfilment oI contract made with the New York corporation. whereby it should contribute about quarter of mil lion dollars toward the construction of the Buckeye canal, in the Gila valley, taking the ditch as security. It seems that only S60,000 has been put up on the contract by the Equitable, and now they desire to withdraw. This move the canal people will not stand, hence the suit. This amount of money is the sum for which the Buckeye people have so long been waiting, in. order to build their grand new canal and headgates.-Phenix Gazette.

Collector Christ has received tele- graph instructions from Acting Sec retary Spaulding to admit free of duty calves accompanying Ameri- cae stry COWS returning from Sono- ra. A former department ruling held such calves to be dutiable as of possible origin, but rather than submit to it's enforcement, cattle men have offered to surrender their calves to the government. Collec- tor Christ appealed to the secretary for a modification of the ruling which entailed such losses to the cattlemen with the result stated Yuma Times.

An ExaSperated- Egg Dealer.

Two eggs in lot which a Bath farmer brought to market Friday had the letters c and c upon their ends as clear cut and perfect as if they had been artilicially executed. An enthusiastic Democratic res taurant man bought them and has them on exhibition, declar- ing that the letters are a sign of good luck. He says even the hens have Democratic fever.

The reason shoes are so cheap is that there is no tariff tax onimport- ed hides. Sugar is cheaper because sugar is free of duty. The McKin- ley reciprocity plan is to say to for eign governments: "If you re- fuse to reduce your duties on American manufactures and other things we shall put high tariff on your hides and sugar" In other words, shoes and sugar shall be high to the people of the United States if foreign governments don't choose to alter tariff laws to suit the president. Who gets punished? The people of the United States.- Baltimore Sun.

One ol the biggest water suits ever brought in Arizona is to be com menced by the Mohawk Canal Go of this county, against ali, or near ly all, the other canals on the Glla river. The principal defendants will be the South Gila, Farmers, Gila Bend and Florence canals. The Mohawk antedates ali others on the river, so it is claimed, hay ing been made in 1883. The com pany claims to be first both in To- cation and appropriation. It will ask that all others be restrained from using water until the Mohawk is supplied if the water does not reach the Mohawk heading then the others be allowed to use it. The case will probably be tried before Chief Justice Gooding, at Phenix. c. F. Alinsworth, of Phenix, and w. H Barnes, of Tucson, have been re- tained by the Mohawk company. A bitterly contested fight may be looked for. as it will defend what they believe to be their rights Yuma Times.

A Sensation at ooeur d, AIene.

A huge sensation was unearthed
in Ceur d. Alene last Tuesday.
e. A. Mccarthy and Benjamin Dix
on, two of the most prominent citi-
zens were arrested for burning their
property, known as the Saginaw
Lumber Company.
1t will be remembered that about
a year ago the property was burned
at Ceur d. Alene, and the fire came
near destroying the whole city.
The town was only saved by spe-
cial train from Spokane arriving
with fire company.
There have been suspicious that
the fire was of incendiary origin,
but now it was known as fact that
such was the case.
John Sparlin, Waterman at the
mill, was arrested last Saturday
charged with the crime. When
confronted with-tfhe cr'~--e-he broke
completely down and acknowledged
all, claiming that Benjamin Dixon,
one of the owners, paid him $500
for doing the deed. The object was
to secure the insurance which was
very heavy. Dixon left Ceur d
Alene after the fire and went to
Bay City, Michigan. He has been
ordered arrested and requisition
papers have been asked for.
Owing to the prominence of the
parties, the exposure caused a great
sensation at Ceur d Alene. 1t was
certainly a henious deed, consider
ing that the city came near being
destroyed.

Buford held that male child born
to a white citizen of the United

member of the Arapahoe tribe,
might still be a member of that

der the treaty as a member of that
tribe, and that the laws Of descent
in Oklahoma applied to Indians,
