COMPLAINTS just and reasonable are being COTS gautly made by mining men and prospectors, against the fencing of lrg eareas of land by cattle men. No man who is acquainted with the confgura- tion of the uplands of Arizona, but what knows of the almost imposslbility of road making along the foot of a noun tain range. Deep and impossible can- yons cut the mesas at right angles with the mountains and thus compelling travellers to follow the valleys till oppo- site the particular portion of the noun tain they wish to enter and then drive directly toward it. This, however, is now often prevented by milas of con- tinuous fencing in the valleys, thus virtually shutting out the miners from the mountains or compelling them to follow difficult and circuitous route. This can easily be remedied by the legislature passing bill vesting the beard of supervlsors of the several counties with authority to open a road every mlle if necessary, for the conven- fence of the public. Arizona is a mining country end nothing should be put in the way of discovery and development of its mineral resources.

WHETHER the International Monetary

WHETHER the International Monetary Conference will be reconvened is a ques- tion which canuet be regarded as de- finitely settled as yet. Of course, Il great deal depeeds upon the attitude of the Union States. The free-silver men are preparing to secure, if possible, a declaration from the Senate in favor of reconvening the conference, on the ground that there has been a change Of sentiment respecting the monetary ques- tion since the conference adjourned. What success they will meet with re- mains to be seen. The attitude of Great Britain IS also factor of importance in the direction of the question whether the conference is to be reconvened, and this will depend Of curse upon the view taken of the matter by the present administration there. An indication of this view is found in the declaration made this week by the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, who said in reply to ques- ton in the IHouse of Commons, that if the proceeding in Brussels should be resumed the English delegates would be instructed to oppose every bimetall c scheme proposed at the conference.- Rradstreet

LAID TO REST.
Hiram Stevens Followed to the
 Grave.
One of the Largest Funerals Known in the Histoay of
 Tucson.

The funeral of Hiram s. Stevens took place this afternoon and it was one of the largest processions ever known in the history of Tucson.
 The interment was in charge of the Pioneers society, but he was buried with the service of the Catholic church.
 Last evening the remains were placed in casket and then laid out in the hall of his residence.
 All day long a crowd of those who knew hlm in life passed his bier to take a last look at the man who had the re- spect of ali. They were people of all ages and nationalities, from the child of few years to the old dame who had seen nearly century of life.
 Shortly after 3 o'clock the Pioneers arrived at the house and formed in marching order.
 There were six pall-bearers: l.. Zeck- endoff, J. s. Mansfield, Chas. A. Chibell, Chas. Etchels, A. Osborn and F. Fish.
 The gentlemen took their places be- side the coffin and tenderly raising it carried it 10 the hearse.
 On the way to the grave there were many moist eyes caused by thoughts of him who was taking his last ride on earth.
 The mterment took place at the Catholic cemetary.
 The priest spoke few words, touch ing on the uncertainty of life, and then the body YVES lowered into it's last rest ing p ace.
 The lest words were said and the cold clods fell on his coffin with a melan- choly sound.
 Soon the grave was filled and the mound piled up and the mourners sadly returned to th cir homes.

An Ancient EritIsh Village.

An interesting discovery was recently made at Glastonbury. SOmersetshire, O. the remains of an ancient lake village. From sixty to seventy low mounds, ris- ing from one to two feet above the sur rounding soil, and from twenty to thirty feet across were found on the level moor which stretches to the British channel A section of the mounds revealed nor ticed oak beams, resembling those of the well-knOwn palisades of the cran- nogs of Scotland, and well-defined stra- ta of clay, charcoal and ashes. The total thickness of these beds was three feet six inches, and within them were detected three separate hearths, super imposed one above the other. Bronze objects, four fibulR of the La Tene type, and massive spiral finger rings were discovered among the relies, with few objects of iron too much corroded to determine what they were intended for Numerous objects of bone, an abun- dance of pottery, much broken, and or ganic remains, including beans, wheat, rye, nutshells and large number of bones, presumably of domestic anim als, were also discovered.

.sWHAT's the matter with Carlisle, anyway?" was eiaculated by more than one good Democrat on the appointment of General Logan's son to lucrative and responsible position in the treasury department. But if that app intment merited censure what will they say of him LOW? Two applications for light house keepers were recently filed in his department and on the cases of the ap- plicants being pressed by the "pull" the Hon. Secretary sad that he was 'look- ing to efficiency in the service rather than to political preferment.' There was not so far as he knew, any vacancy nor had any complaints reached him that would cause a vacancy to be ere ated. Such talk as this will break any pull and make sad the heart of the yearning Democracy.

THE Live Stock Sanitary Commissions is farce and should be abolished. What does 1t do or what has it done to merit existence at a cost of thousands of dol lars a year? Absolutely nothing. If the legislature ever had an opportunity to lop off a useless expenditure of the peoples money they certainly have one in the sanitary commission. Of the 10000 or more dollars already paid out in that direction not one penny has been meritcriously or deservedly earned.
