An Old Prospector's Advice.

Frank Osborne, the old prospector who has been following his vocation in Lower California for the past twenty five years, previous to that being engaged for sever al years in the same business in South Amerlca, gives the following advice to prospectorS concerning the COcOpah and other deserts on thus Peninsula:
 First" he says, "never make trip in midsummer, and always prepare yonr system two or three weeks before start ing by eat ng little or no very salt food Never take lIquor of any Kind as drink, and if any, OnlJ as medicine. Do not take horses-mules and blrros are the best, ridden; no wagons. Never leave water In the morning, b ut travel a little iu the afternoon and as late at night as you caE, starting ous again as early af possible In order to reach water befJre noon the next day. If water is not reached in time, halt and rest during the heat of the day, by all means starting again 8s soon as 1t gets cooler. In case of real danger, be as sparing of the water you have as you can, and do not think ot 1t. and as last resort take the saddles off the animals, leaving on only blan- ket, mount, and let the animal take his own time and direction in travelling; nev CT hurry him or rein him, just let him go free, and nine times out of ten he will take you to water.
 "As for food your trIp, take no real salt meat, but meat that has little or no salt and that has been dried in the sun 0erky); lake plenty of dried rasins and other sub-acid dried fruits. and above all take plenty of pinole. This is nothing more or less than good parched corn ground fine with the Mexican sugar, pan oche, O. it can be mixed with common brown sugar. Simply mixed with cold water to any consistency 1t is o1e of the most wholesome and ,neurishing foods eaten, and also assuages all thirst. It is good even eaten dry.
 "Doves are the birds nearest water, and never far from it, which may be in some crevice of a bluff in the driest of places. Twice 1 have crossed that big desert, but in zig-Zag way, always turn ing of just before noon to water or to some good shade near the mountains or hills, but in the winter, 1t was so cold at night in travelling that l had to get off my animal about every three miles and burn any dry brush 1 could find; tke days. though, were awfully hot,
 "In all this deceTt travelling be cheer ful and plucky, and you will pull through. Keep your mind off of water."-Lower California.

CONGREGATIONAL.

A good sized audience gathered in Court Plaza to hear Rev c. B. Carlisle discuss the topic Christian Science" or "Fai,h Healing" His conclusions were. that it was both unscriptural and unsclentific. He showed very clearly that in scripture the ministry of the physician and of remedies for sickness is always recognized and enjoined. It was unset enti ic because science no- where teaches the existence of any law which declares that 1t is ever right to think wrong or to do wrong. It is not even philosophy, it is a mixture of Pan,halsm and ldealism. During the address Mir. Carlisle paid just tribute to the reformation principle in the bi- chloride of gold treatment, saying among other things, that while it was largely physical, it is also moral and that every right thinking man will add his help in uplifting and sustaining the brother man who is strlVIng to create the change that shall put his higher and Letter nature Tn control.

THE LAND GRANT CASES.

Some time ago 8 large number of
 suits were commenced in the District
 Court of Pima County, to dispossess settlers of their holdings on what were claimed to be land grants. Prominent among these was the Nogales de Elias grant, upon which the hourishing and energetic town of Nogales is situated. If these cases were to be tried in the District Court, each settler would have to defend his own case and thereby in- cur all expense and loss of time which none of them could afford, and which

IN the Cook County Democratic Con- ventlon recently held at Chicago. there were 435 delegates present, and of this number 20 were saloon keepers.

THE Star states that since Lawyer Adams took the bi-chloride of gold treatment he has joined the Republican party. Yes, and We know of 8 good many more Democrats that would do the same if they would submit to the same treatment that Adams did. Get the muddle out of a mans braln and his political path of duty is at once plain.

OK the 3rd day of September all over the state of California the Republican party enter upon their campaign for the coming election. Arizona IS put ting on protective armor, and at the proper time her musical, logical and properly ranged guns will be distinctly heard all over the Territory.

IT is not good Republican sign to be continually boosted by Democratic paper. This is plain simple proposi- tion and one that is readily understood. Sabe?
Arizona weekly citizen., 1892-09-03

TAKING Lawyer Adams political course as a criterion we would suggest the formation of bi-chloride of gold fund for campaign purposes Every Democrat that the Republicans can induce to sub- mt t0 the treatment would mean just one more vote for the Republican party.

REPUBLICANS that would strengthen their party should bs made awake to two things: To induce voters to register, and Democrats to take the bi-chloride of gold treatment.
