Deputy United States Marshal

Deputy United States Marshal Morrell arrested, during the week, Jim Lavelle, a we'll known sheep herder, on the charge of selling liquor to an Indian, and lodged him in the county jail. The particulars of this mans crime are revoltlng in the extreme, none the less so on account of his victim being an h. dian. From the information at hand it appears that Lavelle met an Indian and two squaws in town here while he was intoxicated, He purchased a bottle of whisky and induced the Indians to lead him to their camp, just outside of town, where he furnished the buck with the whiskey until he also become intoxicated, when he forced the two squaws to submit.-Williams News.

The total expenditure of the Government for the past fiscal year for pensions, and for the army and the navy, amounted to about $240,- 100000. The significance of these figures may be suggested by the fact that they represent more than one half the total expenditures of the Government, and that they are near ly double the amount of the mili- tary expenditures of either France or Germany, both of which are prac- tically upon war footing, and are straining every nerve to put the last man in the field and spend the last dollar upon him. Years ago, Gen. eral Garfield declared that the max imum sum to be expended upon pensions ought not to exceed ESQ., 100000. It is now fast approach ing $200,000,000, and it is high time as the Financial Chronicle says, to call a halt. All honor to the worthy men who are there; the country would willingly do more for them if the unworthy men could only be taken off The Outlook.

A prisoner by the name of Lo- peg, 20 years of age, was found dead in his cell at the prison yes terday afternoon. The prison phy- sician, not being satisfied as to his death, recommended that a coro- ner's jury be summoned. The jury met at the prison last evening but being unable to ascertain any cause for the death of Lopez, decided to have an autopsy made, which was done by the prison physician who found the vital organs in a healthy condition. The verdict of the jury was in accordance with the autopsy, that he died from paralysis of the heart.-Yuma Sentinel.

Although the Territory of Ari- zona has been organized since 1864, a period of nearly thirty years, the entire furniture and finishings of the executive department thus far will not exceed S250.

Something should be done to pro- tect women and children from the intrusion of ruffians, drunken or otherwise, Owing to the high tenn perature in Arizona in summer it becomes necessary to sleep out of doors, and any one who intrudes on the privacy of our citizens should be given the full benefit of a dose of buckshot, or if that misses fire, the intruder should be notified that this summer climate is likely to cause our citizens to forget them selves and do something that would be very unpleasant to such vermin.

 OFFICE OF GENERAL MANAGER,
 PACIFIC INSURANCE UNION,
 San Francesca, Aug. q. '93. Resolutions of the Executive Commit tee, adopted Aug. Is, 1893:
 WHEREAs-The expense of transact ing the business of fire insurance in AIi- Zona. has been increased by the law passed at the last session of the Terri torial Legislature, which imposes a li- cense tax upon each agent doing busi- ness in said Territory,
 Resolved, That on every policy taking effect on and after September l, 1893, an additional charge, equal in amount to ten per cent of the premium, shall be added as a specific tax, to be collected and remitted by the agents.
 The above rule applies also to all pol icies written to replace policies cancelled after the date of this circular.
 THos. J. CoNRoY,
 Acting Manager. This and the license tax upon merchants and others doing busi- ness in the Territory, is simply device to tax the people. It acts precisely as the tariff does. Impor- ters, it is true pay the duty at the custom houses, but the duty is add ed to the cost of the imported ar ticles and in the end the people pay IL. It will be so in this case. The people have 10 pay it at last.

The work of sinking for artesian water with which to wash gold from the thousands of acres of gravel deposits at San Pedro and Golden goes steadily on day and night. Mir. Armstead, of New York, has suc- ceeded MT. Jenkins as manager, and the prospects are daily growing brighter for success. The drill is now 400 feet and water rises in the casing to within about twenty feet of the top of the pipe. The com pany will go down at least 1000 feet if an artesian flow is not de- veloped before that depth is attain ed. Recent visitors all agree that 300 feet more will probably bring that flow to the surface.-Santa Fe New Mexican.

Jack Owens, better known as Chloride Jack, says the Kingman Mineral Wealth, has struck aa enor- nous ledge or dyke of quartz in a box canyon of the Santa Maria, about mile above the moth of the canyon, that is the biggest and best gold mine in the United States if it runs as high in gold as is reported. The ledge IS from 4 to 200 feet wide, and is said to run from $26 to $200 in gold. The gangue is peculiar looking quartz and it does not horn free gold, but when burnt or roasted shows fine prospects in a hornspoon.

Officer Morrell took trip to the Supai villages, last week, in Cata- ract Canon, and returned greatly pleased with what he had seen in that interesting region. He says if anybody wishes to disprove the statements occasionally sent out concerning the starving condition of these Indians they need but make trip, and they will discover that they are abundantly supplied
 with all the necessaries of life. On all sides he found signs of prosper ity and the growing corn and heav- fly laden fruit trees indicated any, thing else but want. One of the head men of the tribe informed him that they had enough provisions stored away in their peculiarly con- structed store houses to last the en- tire tribe three years and more, and that if their crops should prove a failure there would be no uneasi- ness felt among the Indians. Off,
 cer Morrell reports the range along the line of his travel to be In excel
 lent condition and that he has nev- CT seen as much water in the coun- try as at present.-Williams News.

There are two little nuts t,lt fnanciers have not yet cracked One is the entire parity in circula- tion between silver certificates which are redeemable in gold and other kinds of currency. These certificates call for nothing except silver dollars, and yet they have, notwithstanding the stringency SUD- posed to be due to apprehension of a silver standard, brought premi- um in the market. They are as eagerly snapped az the treasury notes which are being redeemed in gold.
 The other puzzle is the financial calmness of Mexico under a single silver standard. While European bankers and United States invest ment managers are talking of silver as if any country where it is freely coined is on the declivity of de- struction. Mexico goes along with her 377 grain dollar and has not yet had bank failure.
 Why are these things thus ? It may be suggested that our gold ad- vocates have not exhausted our cur rency problem.-St. Louis Repub- lie.

ANCHORS NEAR WAIKIKI BUT
CLAIMS SHE WAS NOT
ON TIE REEF.
The Captain Explains Why He stayed
There 50 Long.

At daybreak on Sunday morning
a full rugged ship was seen off
Waikiki, apparently on the reef.
The report was sent in town, and it
created no little excitement in
shipping circles. A number of
people fastened out to the beach to
catch 3 glimpse of the vessel, and
from statements made by people
who saw the ship she was resting
broadside on the coral reef. About
9 o'clock ON Sunday morning the
tug Eleu went to the rescue, and
four hours later the vessel was
towed into the harbor. She proved
to be the American ship Kate
Davenport, Captain Reynolds. She
is from Port Blakely, and is laden
with lumber for Allen & Robinson.
According to the captains story
the vessel was not on the reef and
the people who thought they saw
her in that position must be mis-
taken. He claims that he arrived
off port on Saturday night and on
Sunday morning about two o'clock
he dropped both anchors. The
vessel was in ten fathoms of water
and in no danger of being dashed
on the rocks as the wind from land
counteracted the force of the break
ers on the port side. He explains
the delay after the tug arrived with
the statement that his donkey en-
CINE would not work and it took
some hours to get up the anchors by
hand. There is something very
strange about the whole affair and
the question naturally suggests
itself, "why did the captain an
Choir off Waikiki"
