Terrible Disaster in a Mine.

HoUGHroy, Mich. May l4.-Ten men were
dashed to pieces in the Red Jacket perpen-
dicular shaft of the Calumet and Hecla mine
at noon today.
The miners were coming up in the cage to
dinner, and the engineer hoisted the cage
against the timber OF the shaft. The coupling
pin broke and the men and cage were dashed
downward over 8, 1000 feet to the bottom. The
names of the killed are;
Allen Cameron, son of Capt. Cameron, in
charge; James Cooking, single, supporting
widowed mother; Joseph Pope, leaves wife
and one child; John Rodgers, leaves wife
and several children; John Hicks, single, aged
"a; Andrew Edno, aged 40, married; Robert
Woupia, leaves wife and three childreni
Michael Leavitte, widower; James Trevni,
leaves wife and three children; Con ). Sui
livan, single, aged 40.
The men were aboard skip used in hoist
ing rock, and when the load of human freight
reached the surface, the engine did not stop
in time and the lift went to the top of the der
rick. where it broke loose and went back with
crash to the bottom of the shaft.
There is no way of reaching the bottom nor
of getting the dead men out except by going
through another shaft half mile away, SC
that it was nearly three hours before the true
state of affairs could be ascertained, and il
will be toward morning before the bodies can
be brought to the surface.
II is necessary to hoist the bodies $50 feet
nv ropes to reach the level of the next shaft,
then carry them nearly half a mile through
the drifts, and then hoist them by the man
car.
The wife of Pope was standing at the mouth
ofthe shaft with his dinner pail, and witnessed
the terrible fall Of himself and his comrades

s'Ihe purpose oil this section was 10 secure
the means Of readily identifying the Chinese
laborers present in the country and entitled
TO remain from those who may have clan
destinely entered the country in violation of
It's laws Those entitled to remain by having
a certificate of their identification would ena-
Bile the officers of the government to readily
discover and bring to punishment those not
entitle to enter, but are excluded. 10 pro-
cure such certificate was not hardship to
the laborers, but "A means to secure full pro-
lection to them and at the same time prevent
an evasion of the law.
The object being constitutional, the only
question for our consideration is the lawful
ness of the procedure provided for its accom-
plishment, aud this must be tested by the
provisions of the constitution and laws in
tended for the protection of all persons
against encroachment upon their rights
Aliens domiciled within the country by its
consent are entitled to all the guarantees for
the protection of their persons and property
which are secured to native-born citizens.
The moment any human being comes within
the jurisdiction of the United States, with the
consent of the government-aud such con-
sent will always be implied when not ex-
pressly withheld, and in the case of the Chi
nese laborers before US was in terms given by
treaty-he becomes subject to all their laws
and amenable to their punishment and
entitled to their protection. Arbitrary and
despotic authority can no more be ex-
ercised over them with reference to their
persons and property than over the persons
and property of native-born citizens. Ihey
differ only from citizens in that respect that
they cannot vote or hold any public offices.
As men having our common humanity, they
are protected by all the guarantees of the
constitution To hold that they are subject
to any different law or are less protected in
any particular is, in roy Judgment, against the
teachings of our history, the practice of our
government and the language of our constr
tuition. Let us test the doctrines by few
illustrations. If q foreigner who resides IN
the country by its consent commits public
offense is he subject to be cut down, NAL
treated, Imprisoned or put to death by VIC.

The Santa, Fe Prescott & Phenix railroad is completed in to Prescott and two trains run daily from Pres colt to Ash Fork and connect with Atlantic & Pacific trains going east and west.
 A passenger train carrying also mail and express leaves Prescott in the forenoon, in time to reach Ash Fork to connect with trains number three and four, the Atlantic & Pa cific mail trains, each way. Return ing it leaves Ash Fork immediate ly after the arrival of the east bound train, and arrives in Prescott at six o'clock p. m. The other, a mixed train, leave Ash Fork in the morn ing, bringing In all passengers who may arrive there on the night trains, and returning leaves Prescott in afternoon, so that parties wishing to connect with the night trains at Ash Fork can do so without being compelled to remain there all day.
 The running time between Pres colt and Ash Fork, of the passenger and express train, is two and half hours. The heavy Brooks engines, purchased by the company, for the road, being too large for passenger, service at this rate of speed, Master Mechanic Foote left Ash Fork and has gone to Albuquerque, to look at an eight-wheel passenger engine of the Atlantic & Pacific, with view of changing a Brooks for it, for pas senger service. Two of the coaches have reached Ash Fork, and the others will be there in day or two. -Phenix Gazette.

 ABSOLUTELY PURE

The officers of the boundary Line Commission survey, on their trip to the Tenejas Atlas last week found IT trails in 12 miles, east of the tanks, which were we'll worn and fresh with the tracks from present use. Two men with four pack an imals come to the tank for water. When asked as to whether they were prospectors or not they would not say word. It looks as if they might be smugglers connected with the three or four small contraband schooners which are known to be in the Gulf near the mouth of the Col orado.-Yuma Sentinel.

R. V. Bloxton visited last week
 Don Sanford's cattle ranch in the southern part of the county and says that of 1900 head of cattle which were there at the begin ming of the winter, less than 500 survive and that these are mostly yearlings, cows being very scarce, The num- Der of dead cattle near Calabasas has bred a myriad of flies which swarm upon the bridges over the arroyos, dense clouds, of them aris- ing the engineers say as the trains pass. The pests are already intense ly annoying to the ranchers who are often compelled to keep smok- ing at their work and continually fighting them. So says the Citizen.

Of the ninety laws enacted by the 17th legislature nearly all went into effect on the date of their passage, yet the people will remain in igno. rance of their provisions until their publication, in pamphlet form, and even then their distribution will be so limited that not one in twenty of the people in the Territory will gain knowledge of their requirements. Provisions should be made for the publication, in the newspapers of the several counties of the Territo- ry of all laws, as soon as enacted, the expense of which would not ne- cessarily be a burdensome tax on the Territory. as in view of the inn portance of giving publicity to new enactments the press of the Terri tory would willingly do the work at reduced rates. In no other way can the laws be given the desired publicity and it would be much more sensible and advantageous than the appropriation of large sums to favored newspapers at Phe- nix for the publication of the legis- lative proceedings, which give little if any information of the provisions of bills introduced and serve only to confuse the reader. At present person desiring to learn the pro- visions of any new law can by writ ing to the Secretary of the Territo- ry and enclosing a fee, obtain a certified copy of the law wanted.- Silver Belt.

Verdugo who killed Louis Kohn in this city in 1888, was shot in Sonora for another murder six months ago but the fact was not know until this week when it was officially announced in the official organ of the State. The first knowl- edge the family had of hIs execu- tion was when they read the official notice.
 The Verdugo family is quite wealthy and lives near Guaymas, The members were much surprised on learning the fate of the young man and all were in Quay mas Mon day in full mourning.
 He was executed at the village of Huatabampo, near Alamos, the old capital. A Mexican newspaper in giving the account of the execution unwittingly drops into grim sar- casms by the remark that he was "shot with a machete Ia short Mex ican sword) for the reasons that the officials had no firearms. ."-Nogales Herald.

It is simply the good fortune of Arizona in these days of deprecia- ton in the price of silver, that this is gold Territory. The gold mines in Arizona are not only numerous but valuable. The output increases and the development work progress ses. More discoveries are being made, and the greatness of Arizona as a gold producer awaits only the improvement in railway facilities. The solution of the railroad problem is the key to the successful outcome of the gold mining industry.-Phe- nix Herald.

Valencia COOnty Crimes.

Two more chapters have recently been added to what is already con- sidered a much over-crowded histo- ry of murders in Valencia county,
 Several nights ago a woman, named Beatriz Aragon, was abduct- ed from her home in the little town of Valencia. Victoriano Aragon, suspected of the crime, is now in jail at Los Lunas.
 The people are greatly excited over this continuous murdering of women, and attribute it to the bad moral effect produced by the result of recent celebrated case.
 The peoples excitement was car ried almost to frenzy by the news, which reached Los Lunas yesterday, of the murder of Eusebio Sais, a prominent sheep owner of Pinos Wells, of Valencia county. Accor- ding to the meagre reports, so far received, it appears that Mir. Sais was returning home from the store of Spence Bros, when he was at- tackled on the road by a vicious dog. The man drew his gun, presumably to scare the dog, when Julian Chaves, the owner of the animal, and who, by the way, has played a notorious part recently by acting the petty tYrant in his capacity as justice of the peace. shot Sais from behind with Winchester rife, the bullet entering the victims back, piercing the victims heart, and causing in- stant death.
 Chaves, who was arrested by his own constable, was taken to Los Lunas last night. He makes the fifth man now in the Valencia county jail at Los Lunas accused of murder, and all the crimes have been committed since the adjourn ment of the district court last Feb ruary.-Albuquerque Citizen.

J. M. Campbell, the most enten- sive sheep raiser in Western Texas, lost 22 per cent. of his flock, during the past twelve months by coyotes, Campbell has hit upon a novel plan of extermination. He entrapped twelve coyotes a month ago and shut them up with dog, which was badly affected with mango. The coyotes soon caught the disease and are now thoroughly covered with the parasites which produced it. They will be turned loose on the ranch in a few days, and Campbell expects the disease to spread among the coyotes so rapidly that there will not be one of them left in Tex as in two years.-Ex.

The treasury department has just rendered two important decisions in relation to stray cattle along the border:
 1st-When cattlemen who have ranches on both sides of the boun- dary line use the same brand for their cattle on their American and Mexican ranches, such brands should not be recognized as evi- dence of the domestic origin of the cattle in question.
 2nd-Calves born of cattle astray in Mexico may properly be regard ed of domestic origin, and admit ted to free entry in the absence ot evidence or strong presumption that they were born in Mexico, and calves born of Mexico cattle should be treated as of foreign in the ab- sence of positive evidence that they were born in the United States.

ADENvER dispatch dated the 2oth ult., says: The Navajo outbreak Is already assuming alarming propor- tions and the settlers are arming tor defense. James Handy arrived from Tom Whyte's trading post at Hogs Back on the San Juan river early this morning and after securing supply of ammunition for the set tiers, immediately returned. He returned to the post and said the Mission, Welsh's raEch and others are surrounded and a massacre probable. Agent Bartholomew has wired the Indian department regard ing the situation. but as the savages are beyond his jurisdiction, he can take no active steps to stop the up rising. The country exposed is on the San Juan river, twenty miles south of Pennington, New Mexico, and is quite thickly settled. Gov Waite this afternoon read tele' gram from Lieutenant Hummer the officer in charge of the agency asking that the state troops be or dered out to suppress the Navajo war. He has as yet taken no steps in the matter, awaiting further in formation from Durango.

There is a general impression that the appropriation for the offer of re- ward for the apprehension of the "Kid" did not become law. 'Tis, however, true that the introduction of the bill, authorizing the payment of $5,OOO for his capture, received so frigid reception that time was allowed members to thaw, and Hon. George Hunt, having the measure in charge, held it until the heel of the session and incorporated the 5000 reward in the general appro- priation bill consequently 1t IS now a law.-Silver Belt.
