Luke Compton and John J. Pool brought into the city today the hides or two mountain lions. (male and fe- mal,). The hide of one lion msasuI ed 3 feet aId IhD hIde of tue other 815 feet The lions were very fat when killed and Eeighod 300 pounds each. They were kilisd on the south side of the Riucon mountains, after MT. CumptOn and Mir Poo! had trail them with hounds to their hiding place. A few shots from their Winche ters laid these terrors of ;hs cattle raisers low, and the hunters were in the city today turning the hides over to the proper authorities and re- c5iving the bounty therefor.

Mining Notes.

The Comet is not shipping any ore at present. Ten men are at work prospect ing and opening up the mine.
 The T. NJ. $ M. Co.'s properties con- tinues to produce the same heavy ship ment of ore, there has been no change in the water since our last report.
 It IS expected that the Old Guard will start next month. The last of the judgment indebtedness has been paid and the property ia clear of all incum- brances.
 Ben Cook is taking out some very rich ore from the Herschel. This bon anza keeps up its reputation as being one of the richest producers in the is- trlct.
 A. Bauer and John Pierce have a claim in the Golden Rule district thatiis producing an abundance of very rich carbonate ore. A new character of ore wss struck last Tuesday at a depth of 45 feet. It is heavy grey carbonate carrying 90 per cent. lead and running all the way from 60 to l50 ozs silver. It is very desirable smelling ore and the ledge is the full width of the shaft.
 The ten stamps at Soldier Holes are pounding away steadily on Silver Bill ore. Everything runs like a char m. About B tons per A hours is reduced and there IS DO doubt but that with ad- ditionsl pars and concentrato-,' betwe D 50 and 60 tons can be easIIy passed through during every 24 hours during the month.
 The rich strike near tbe State of Main, which IS the property of Ingram and Fitts, continues to show up ere of marvellous richness. The shaft Is down 20 feet and IS being run on the foot wall. The hanging has not yet been seen, aud everything points to the finding of the richest and largest bcdles of ore when that wall is encouut sred. The ledge pitches at an angle of 45 degrees. A house will be erected at the mine for the convenience of the wCrkmen, and also for storing tbe rich ore which is being sacked.

A REV. COWBOY.
The Pastor Was a Reformed
 Pugilist.
And Showed that he Could Use
 His Fists.

CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Ind, July 9 There has been trouble among the members of the Universallst congregation at Whitesville for several days. There were two factions in the church and the greatest excitement prevailed, with fisticuff accompaniments, till yesterday, when a regular battle took place in court, the minister, the Rev. Thomas Jacobs, taking his own part with con- siderable success.
 The trouble arose over a sermon the Rev. MT. Jacobs preached on the Home stead strike. He wBs very eloquent in upnolding the action of the locked-out millmen. He IS converted cowboy and pugilist from Arizona and is very pro- nounced in the expression of his views. Many members in his congregation diff cred with him and forced him to leave his pulpit. The minister then brought suit for salary due to the amount of S70 and for possession of the church. He still had a number of friends in his congregation who upheld him, but they were quite mild in the support they gave their pastor. The majority, princi- pally farmers, declared that the preach CT was an anarchist and advocated mur~ der and riot.
 On Monday the Rev. MT. Jacobs was attacked by member of his church af ter heated argument on the Home stead sermon. The minister was badly whipped, it is said. Ills friends among the parishioners made an appeal 10 the sheriff at this city for protection for their pastor. The sheriff sent out noti- tication that he would send posse to Wthitesville and arrest all the partici pants in the affair unless peace was de- clared at once. He finally sent an officer to the scene yesterday to arrest any enc who interfered with the minister.
 The suit for salary blought by the pastor came up in court yesterday after noon. A great crowd was present. Rev. Mir. Jacobs incurred the ill-will of an- other parlshioner in the courtroom by declaring that he would blacken his eyes if he did not mind hls own business. This was a signal for a free fight be- tween the two church factions. The minister's old-time experience in the fisucuff arena stood him in good stead. He kDocked out 8 couple of his assail- ants and hIs friends finished the rest of his enemies. The single court officer was powerless to act and stood outside the battle line.
 After quIet was restored, the victor ious minister arose and surprised the court by declaring that he wished to withdraw the suit. He said he wanted nothing more to do with people who were quarreling sll the time and that IS prize fighting days were over. He saId He said thet his wife and he intended to leave the place and asked that he be permitted to walk out of town, he hay ing been put out of the church. Hts angry parishioners agreed to this and his friends passed around hat. The collection YVES not very large one.
 The victorious faction in the Rev. MT. Jacobs church have taken the Uig pad locks off the church doors and are now in search of new pastor. They declare that they have had enough of cowboy preachers who were converted late in life and now want a theologian who has been educated up to preaching all his Iifa

4 COLUMBIAN CUSTOM HOUSE.
Foreign Goods to Be Put in Charge of
 Exposition Directors.

Foreign Goods to Be Put in Charge of
 Exposition Directors.
 Question of the method of administer ing the customs at the port of Chicago on goods imported for use at the worlds fair, which has been under consideration by the officials at Washington, was set tied by the adoption of the policy sug- gested by Collector Clark, who received a communication to that effect from As sistant Secretary of the Treasury Spaulding recently. Provision will be made for the inspection of goods at the fair grounds by the worlds fair di- rectors, who will give a receipt to the collector of customs, describing the goods, their nature and place of de- posit, and at the close of the fair returns will be made accordingly.
 Exhibits will be received duty free, and what shall constitute an exhibit will be decided by the directory. Goods which are to be sold on the grounds will be stored in warehouses on the grounds and duty paid as goods are drawn. Exhibits sold subject to de- livery at the close of the fair will have duty collected when purchaser takes possession. Exhibits are to be immedi- ately placed in their proper department and kept there. This method, it is thought, will do away with the trouble experienced at Philadelphia, where the customs authorities collapsed entirely from having neglected to draw a dis tinct line between exhibits and dutiable merchandise.

Mohaave Miner.
WHITE HILLS, July 20, 1892.

White Hills camp had just had the first pay day since it's discovery and a good many of the boys find it necessary 10 buy bigger hats.
 A party of four with a first class pros- pecting outfit arrived today from Eu- reka, Nevada, and have commenced to investigate the surrounding hills.
 New tents and houses are being erect ed daily and the owner of desirable lot is very important parsonage, and sales take place daily.
 Money IS more plentiful than at any time since the discovery of the mines. and fourteen poker games stallion" and otherwise were in active operation last night.
 Quite a number of the boys lad of for a couple of days to celebrate the first pay day, but most of them go back to work in the morning.
 The Norma mine is making a great showing. The ore is keeping up it's hIgh grade as depth is gained. A car load shipment will be made from the mIne thIs coming week.
 The west extension of the Occident claim, owned by Patterson & O., is hav- ing the shaft run down as fast as pos sible. The shaft is now down nearly forty feet in good ore.
 Water is now selling at one dollar and fifty cents per barrel and will soon be further reduced. An attempt will soon Da made to get water by sinking wells near town, and it IS hoped that the att tempt will be successful.
 A number of new strikes have been made around the country, but as we have pot yet seen them and as the To cators have not yet gone to work we will defer comment until our next com munlcation.
 Prospecting continues with ucabated gal and groups of men can be seen at all hours magnifyins glasses in hand, oiscussicg the latest lind" and eagerly iuquiring of the hero of the hour the diIecticn of his discovery.
 All rumors to the effect that the Prince Albert has closed down are false, as the owners will put an increased force 10 work tomorrow. The temporary sus- pension of work was for purely business reas ms, and ihe break in the ledge which caused the widest rumors at the time has nov been passsd and the vein is resuming its former condition.
 Old Sherum (whose funeral We would all gladly sttend) is making life a bur den for Judge Schaefer by attempting to levy blackmail, and incItlng the In dian wbo first discovered the mines, to d. likewise. This ungrateful old william, who has been a pensioner on the judge for years and is daily buying goods at the store at his expense, harnesses his benefactor almost to death. After re- ceiving the price agreed upon for his discovery, he today made further de- mand for s400 and the judges horses. This was f1aUly refused, but the judge thinking to purchase little peace, and win his good will offered him present of S100 ir gold, which wes refused at the instigation of old Sherum who insisted on the full amount asked. Tbis so en- ragged the judge that he threatened to demolish the whole Wsllspai tribe with pick handle if they didn't leave him alone. Thus was 8 big pow-wow adjourned.

CHA BEND FIRE BUGS.
Mexican Laborers try to Burn the
 Booming City.

The hustling little town of Gi'a Bend was thrown into furry Of excitement Thursday night by the operations of a crowd of Mexican laborers who came in from work on the big canal to have a time. They proceed to load up with red liquor, and then the fun commenced.
 Part of them went to fighting, and the others turned their attention to different things.
 One of them, who gave his name as John Doe, was caught by Deputy Sher- if McPaul with lighted roll of raper in his hand as he was showing it under a house. The plucky deputy promptly took him, end then his partners became wild McPaul said to Herald repor ter that if the incendieary had not been dis covered when it was, the whole town would have been in flames within twenty minutes.
 He got "John Doe" caged and started 10 quiet the row. Pablo Luhjan was handling a sling shot rather caralessly and was doing some effec i've work. and he was taken care of. B-nito Corninto was using his ifs S and. as there was sev- eral pair of black eyes and bloody noses, he " as asked to ''coD De along" in man. ner that admitted of no fooling.
 They were ell locked up for the night snd given a hearing yesterday. John Doe was bound over 10 await the action of the grand jury; Pablo was fined s30 d COrninto was let off with 5. As there was TO money in the crowd, De- putty McPaul brought them up tn s morn ing. and they will have lay off for a time, unless they are turned over to the city marshal, when they will have to work h rder and get poorer grub than they would get shoveling dirt on the Wolfiey canal.
 The ci izens of Gila Bend all speak well of the way McPaul is attending to duties at that point, and one enthusias- tic admirer of Harry's said they were going to present his name as candidate for sheriff. Phoenix Herald.

Tucson Tauuery.

The tannery that was started in Tue son some time back and closed down was not the fau of the field being lacking for such an industry but probably t. indifference and neglect. This institu- tioa closed down like many others con- duc;ed upon similar platform. That there is a line opening at Tucson for a first class taDnery is readily ap- parent. Thousands of beef cattle are slaughtered yearly and their hides ship ped t0 Califonia. There is aD opening specially Tn this county for such an en- terprise and it will pay we'll if properly handled. Pima county has large cattle interests and the market for harness and saddlery is as good in Arizona as m any favored portion of the United States.

ESKIMOS AT THE FAIR.
Natives of the Far North to Be
 Brought to Chicago.
An Expedition Under Way to Secure Fifty People from Cumberland Sound-A Duplicate Village to Be Built at
 the Exposition Grounds.

Dr. Franz Boas has started out to ac- company an expedition that is going to Cumberland sound to bring a party of EslSimos to Chicago. They will form one of the attractions of the depart ment of ethnology, under the charge of Prof. Putnam. Theexpedition will go from Sr. Johns, N. F., to Baffin Land early next week-for the purpose of in- ducing about fifty natives to come to Chicago. Arriving there they will be given small section of Jackson park reserved for village, such as they in- habit in the far north. Huts will be erected In exact duplication of those in- habited by the EsSimos in their native land, and a collection of hunting inn plements, peculiar household utensils and many specimens of their strange handiwork will be shown in the village. Prof. Putnam has not decided yet upon definite plans for regulating the weath- CT to suit these visitors, but it is prob able that system similar to that em- ployed in cold storage establishments will be used.
 The expedition of Dr. Boas is likely to prove successful, for if any white man can induce the Eslimos to leave their. cold homes he can do it. Dr. Boas is professor in an eastern college. He has passed several years among the na- tives, living with them in their huts, going with them on fishing and hunting expeditions, and endeavoring as far as possible to adapt himself to their un- usual mode of life. He is acquainted with large number of the natives and Is said to exert an unusual influence over them. While living among these people Dr. Boas carefully studied their language and religion, as well as their manner of living. He says these peo- pie always locate their huts where the opportunities for trapping sea dogs are best and where ice plains arc most eX- tensive. In winter they live in large tribes. but during the summer months they scatter in all directions and hunt reindeer.
 The Bafin bay Eskimos do not re- gard the Greenland god Tornarssuk as the greatest of the gods, but their su- perior deity is Sedna. who gives them their greatest blessings. Whoever Obeys him fully will succeed in his un- dertakings. and if he is drowned or meets with a violent death he is trans fcrred in an instant to the happy land where there is no ice nor snow and where great herds of reindeer feed on every hill, all of them eager to be oannht
