Prof. $. P. Langley of the Smith. sonlan Institution has devoted seven years of study and $5O,0OO for the completion of the air-ship, with which he hopes to solve the worlds greatest problem. His eff forts represent the highest scientific thought ever brought to bear on the subject of aerial navigation, and the best devised mechanism. The world will be gratified to know that he is to-day surer of the feasibility of aerial navigation than when he first began his experiments. The air ship will be the next great step in human progress, and it is possi ble that that step is soon to be taken. Los Angeles Times.

MANUEL AMADo, large rancher near Tucson, according to his own statement, has been a heavy loser by the drouth. He says that fully three-fourths of his cattle and one half his horses have recently died. Last year he was assessed on 2500 cattle and he says he is positive that his herd will not now number over 400. A strange feature about this death rate is that the males died much faster than the females.

The news was brought to the city, this afternoon, at too late an hour to give full account, of most dastardly deed committcd'at Pagosa pasture, six miles out, last night. A man named Cerilio Delgado is authority for the statement that two bodies beaten almost into a jelly, with stones, and supposed to be those of Manuel Maldonado, and sheep herder in the employ of Trinidad Griego, were found to-day, tightly bound to wandering burros. The faces of the unfortunate men were beaten almost beyond recog- nition.-Las Vegas Optic.

The Chinese may peddle regeta- bles at lower prices than white men ask, but Chinese immigration does not tend to raise the value of cor ner lots. Let a Chinese shanty be erected anywhere in the city, on a block where there was no Chinese before, and down goes the price of all property in the neighborhood. Even those who favor the immigra- ton of Chinese would not relish any of them as neighbors.-L. A. Express.

 ABSOLUTELY PURE

An Wah, the Chinaman, who was arrested, and subsequently, released on a charge of selling liquor to h. dians, was found lying in lot back of Aberley & Stephone's saloon at 12 30 to-day with his throat cut. A razor lying by his sids was the means by which the deed was done. He had made asmall depression in the ground by which he firmly bareed himself, and then taking the razor made two slashes at his throat. He was conscious when found and could speak, but when breathing some difficulty was experienced, showing that the trichea was cut, if not severed. Dr. Chas. H. Jones was sent for, and the wounded man was taken to his office where he could more properly attend him. He was laid on the operation table where his throat was washed and sewed up. The physician says that his injuries are liable to end fatally, as he seems to be bleeding freely iEternallY.-Arizona Gazette.

A. B. Ellitt and wife left this morning for their home at Golf, Kansas. Mir. Ellitt is the gentle man who came into considerable ethroughoutA Arizona last winter on account of dream he ex- perienced prior to coming here. In this vision he saw wonderfully rich treasures in a mining claim in the Bradshaw mountains and on his arrival here he visited the section named and located a claim, as seen in his dream. He has men at work now developingit and silver, copper and lead have been found in it as far as developed. Mir. Ellitt leaves with unbounded faith in the rich ness of the claim and he says that nothing can shake hls belief in the ultimate realization of his dream. He expects to return to Arizona again in the fall.-Journal- Miner.

A Chinaman, of more than ordi- nary intelligence, was asked yester- day by the Star man if there were any of his race here who would be glad to be sent back to their native land at the expense of Uncle Sam, to which the willy Celestial replied "me don't know" The truth is that while few will admit it, there are many Chinese who would be thank full for the opportunity of going to China without expense to them selves. This class are disposed to stay here as long as the government will allow them to do so, but when the time of deportation arrives, the alacrity with which they will obey the order to go will be surprising to many people.-Tucson Star.
