AS rule most people are intensely
exasperated when, after wading through
some exciting story in tho newspapers
which they have devoured with
breathless interest, to find at the finish
it is only a trap to advertise some
wonderful soap or patent medicine. or
course its disappointing, but just con-
slider how cleverly it's DONE and, by the
way. what a wonderful industry has
been developed in this mode OF adver-
Using, Some of the great medicine
firms pay their ADVERTISE ,g agent as
high as ten thousand dollars year,
and certain manufacturer OF soap
pays his advertisers twenty. We thou
sand. Just think OF it, and while you
are thinking just remember that "She
Couldn't Mary Three" is the best show
on the road.

SAYS the Graham County Bulle- tin: John w. Young, of Utah, se- cured from the Mexican govern ment what was supposed to be a valuable concession for building a railroad south from Deming. Some work was dono on the proposed road, debts contracted which may never be paid and a number of peo- pie duped, some of whom are in this county. The concession ex- pired last week and the government having lost confidence in Young as railroad builder, will refuse to re- new it and an English syndicate will complete the work Young fail led 10 accomplish.

The law regarding cruelty to ami malls was amended by the last leg islature and it becomes all who have sympathy for brutes and beasts of burden to see that it's provisions are enforced and those creatures in human form who so cruelty abuse animals unnecessarily be made to suffer condign punishment. If all the teamsters on the road between Wilcox and Globe who deserve prosecution under the law should be arrested and tried fer brutal treatment of starved and overwork- ed horses and mules the justices courts in three counties would be open seven days in the week and hold night sessions,-Solomonville Bulletin.

While a great number of beef steers have been shipped out of this section, cattlemen tell us that there are thousands of steers in good con- dition still on the ranges, which their owners are ready to round up and dispose of whenever a bona fde cattle buyer puts in an appear ance. There are said to be 2,00O beef steers rangingaround the Camp Wood section alone, which the own CTS would gladly round up and sell Inquiry also comes from Kansas City regarding our supply of beel steers, and several cattlemen have requested the Courier to state that there is an abundance of beef steers yet.-Prescott Courier.

A good likeness of Kid, the noto- rious Apache. whose ingenuity in eyading capture is as remarkable as it is exasperating, is on exhibi- ton at Fly's gallery. The picture was taken some two years ago on the San Carlos reservation when he was in the service of Uncle Sam and before he killed Reynolds, conse- quent to which, it will be remem- bered, he escaped while being taken to Yuma. According to his photo graph, he is a man of medium build and has an intelligent face that does not bear the impress of villainy, much as he subsequently, proved his abilities for; his coarse hair IS cut low at the back of the neck and the front shows a crude attempt at cen ter parting.- Prospector.

The Tribune has been inclined to discredit the reports of the extreme ly rich finds in the Superstition mountains, which have been an nuunced with so many scare heads in the Phoenix papers. But on Sun day the writer was shown specimens of ore from that district that were calculated to make any mans eyes "bug out" To be sure the speci- mems were only float, but the ledge from which they came is somewhere in that neighborhood. The speci' mems were plentifully sprinkled with gold, and some of 1t was SC loose that it fell from the rock as Il was being handled. Mir, Chrismor is the finder of the float, and he if engaged in a vigorous hunt for the ledge.-Florence Tribune.

"I knew old Pegleg Smith," said Capt. Polhamus to The Times a few days ago, "in the ffties when I was running a steamboat on the Sacra- mento before I came down here. He was simply an old bum and got free passage on the boats by telling his wonderful stories. The bar keeper would get him started in or der to draw a crowd to the bar, which he always did. Old Peg was a marvellous liar and told some of the biggest yarns I ever heard. His ability in that line got him free grub and drinks, which was all he cared for. 1 don't believe such a thing ever existed as the Pegleg mine, about which so much has been said. I know considerable about the des- ert myself, and the thing Is an i'm possibility the way old Peg describ, ed it as have heard him many a time. Anybody who looks for the PegIeg mine is simply throwing away time and money Tn my judg- ment. ."-Yuma Times.

On Tuesday last, Jerano Beltran and his wife, left for the Picacho gold mines on foot, accompanied by two dogs. When about ten miles from Yuma, their supply of water gave out, when he told his wife to remain in the shade of tree, while he went to the river for water, dis tance of some five miles. When he returned he found that his wife had gone. He searched for her for two days, and finally found her on the bank of the Colorado asleep Sup posing that he had lost his route to the river, and suffering from the bangs of thirst, she left the spot where she last saw him and started for water. The two dogs died on the way, but she reached the river nearly exhausted with a hen, chick en and cat with her and alive. Not wishing to try the trail again, they left for Picacho on the steamer.- Yuma Sentinel.

NEARLY one-third of the United States ConsulS have been changed, owing to the pressure brought to bear on Secretary Gresham. The screws ought now to be applied to Secretary Smith. There are any number of good democrats in this territory who are just as we'll qual- flied to act as registers and receiv- CTS of the land office as the present incumbents, and the Secretary of the Interior, by making the changes, would not be subject to the charge of giving aid and comfort to the common enemy.

Word has reached Prescott that on June 18th, two highwaymen held up the Phoenix stage, three miles the other side of Briggs. No par ticulars further than that the rob- bers took the sack containing Uni ted States mails. Later news comes in that the highwaymen were on foot and robbed the stage driver of $4.20 and his watch. They also took a sack of money being sent to pay off the men at the Castle Creek smelter. There was no per- son on the stage except the driver. Courier.

MT. James T. Dryden, who came in from the new diggings below the line, is an old, experienced miner, having mined and prospected in Mexico and Arizona for the past 12 years. He says there is no doubt plenty of gold there, and it can be profitably worked. The diggings are some thirty or forty miles below the line and there are evidences of their having been worked many years ago, but the early workers had by no means got into the richest dirt. There are some thirty Mexi- cans there and six Americans, who are working the ground in prlmi- tive way and are realizing from $15 to $20 a day each. Since work was begun, about three weeks ago some $1O,O00 has been taken out. Pro- visions are high priced and scarce, and those contemplating the trip are advised to outfit themselves ac- cordingly. Flour is worth $16 per hundred; beans are a luxury and command 25 cents a pound, and hard to get at that price.-Pros- hector
