4 Bill to Segregate MclIillen.

Tn the U. s. Senate, February Stk House bill 9527 to restore to thf pnblic domain a portion of tht White Mountain Apache Indial Reservation was reported from the Committee on Indian Affairs. with amendments, which were adopted and the the bill passed. The Wash ington, D. C., dispatch of the Sthin reference to the bill Is wrong as to the part to be segregated. District Attorney P. T. Robertson received letter from Delegate NJ. A. Smith recently stating that the bill only opens to settlement that part of the reservation where the town of Mo- Millen stands. It does not affect the coal fields at all, as many SUD- pose.
 The opening to settlement of the McMillen district will be good news to the owners of mines there, and to the people of Globe generally. It is one of the best rnineralized portions of Gila county, being rich in silver. There is located the fa- mousStonewall Jackson mine, which in 1877 produced the richest ore eyer taken, in equal quantity, from a mine in Arizona. Large slabs of almost pure silver were mined from the Stonewall Jackson, shipped to San Francisco and placed on ex- hibition there, attracting great at tention. Their location on the res ervatlon has hindered the develop ment of many promising claims, and prevented capital from invest ing.
 The country immediately sur rounding McMillen also affords the finest grazing to be had in this sec ton. The country is we'll watered by springs and there is an abun- dance of grass. Some of the finest beef cattle which supply the Globe market come from the herds which graze on the border of the reserva- ton in that vicinity. In the 70's McMillen was bustlIng, promising mining camp, rivaling Globe, but only few crumbling ruins remain as a monument to the blighting ef- feet of Apache sway-Silver Belt.

Vanderbilt, the new camp on the Mohave desert, gives promise, says the San Bernardino Courier of be- coming the greatest mining town in the country. Two of it's mines have been bonded by San Francis co parties for $40,000 each, and as the mines appear to become richer asthe sinking gprogessess,t the chances are that both will be sold. At pres ent the ore must be shipped to Needles at cost for frieght of $40 per ton. When capital takes hold and builds mill this item of ex- pense will be saved. The town at present consists of POO people, 40 tents and one small frame house. Lumber costs $90 per 1000 feet, water 39 cents per gallon, and po- tatoes 5 cents a pound. The rail from Goff's station towards Wander bilt is graded for IA miles and there are 5 miles of track laid.-Prospec- tor.

OUR Councilman, J. L. Hubbell,

OUR Councilman, J. L. Hubbell, introduced the following and asks that it be made a law of the land ::
 Sec. 1. No person who cannot read and write in the English or Spanish language shall be eligible to hold any Territorial, County, Precinct or District office in the Ter ritory of Arizona, whether the same be elective or appointive. and no certificate of election or commis- sion shall issue to persons so quail flied.
 Sec. 2. Board of Supervisors shall be sole judges of the qualifications required by Section 1 of this Act, when the question arlses over the election or appointment of County, Precinct or District officers or dep uties, and the Governor shall be the judge in cases arising from the cleo ton or appointment of Territorial officers, subject, however, in all in stances, to a review on appeal or certiorari to the District Court of the proper county,
 Why make this distinction? Why not include the Russian, German, French, Hottentot and all other languages, which few persons liv- ing in the United States may speakP One nationality is just as capable of administering laws which they do not understand a&d cannot com prehend, from the fact that they are unable to read them, as another. The Spanish speaking people have been living under government in which all legal and commercial transactions are conducted in the English language for almost fifty years-have had all the facilities for learning the language which a beneicent government literally ad- ministered could afford them. The people have, and are still paying, taxes cheerfully for the support of public schools, the advantages of which are free to all, and the fact that they are still unable to speak the English language should mili- tate against rather than in their fa- vor when it comes to legislation. That they have notlearned the lan- guage under which they live and by which they are governed, shows a lack of patriotism-shows a want of love of country-shows they are destitute of the principal elements which go to make good citizens. Instead of passing this law, there by fostering and encouraging their indisposition to learn the English language, the legislature should en act one compelling all children 0t school age to attend our public schools five months in the year or rather make It the duty of some one, in each school district, to see that the law already on our statute books to that effect, is rigidly en- forced.

It will be matter of surprise to many residents of Prescott to read that ust four miles south of this town lies probably one of the largest deposits of free milling gold ore in the west, comprising the Westlake mines, group of four claims. the property of Dr. Miller and Jeff Le- fors. These mines are developed by 300 feet of tunnels and 400 feet of shafts and drifts the ore ranges about $20 per ton and concentrates 20 tons into 1 ; the lowest assay had on the concentrates is $250 per ton ranging from that up to $400; the veins, as explored in various places, range from two to ten feet in width :; thre are 10000 tons of ore in sight and 500 tons on the dumps. The nature of the ore is such that one man can break down enough daily to run ten stamp mill. Develop ment work on the mines has been done in the most approved manner and the workings are all timbered. There is sufficient water near by to run mill and there is an abundance of wood all around. There ought to be several hundred men at work on these properties now. There are three other claims in the same vii cinity, of good ore. but not on the Westlake ledge. the property of the same parties.-Prescott Courier.

ARMY CONTROL OF INDIANS.
Some Ofiiccrs Are Dissatisfied with Their Duty
as Agents.

washington. .Isu. 2-~The plan recently
followed of placing army officers instead OF
civilians in charge Of Indian agencies has
proved successful and satisfactory to the
Indians and TO their guardians at Washing
ton, but il seems 10 he quite the contrary
with some of the army officers who have
been assigned to duty as Indian agents. os
course. IT they are regularly detailed TO that
duty. they must serve or else throw up their
commissions.
That il is regarded as an undesirable de-
tail is shown by the fact that two officers
recently assigned by the President to such
duty are doing all they can TO secure a re-
cation of the orders. These are Capt
Charles Porter, Eighth Infantry. detailed as
Indian agent at la Poin;e, Wis, and First
Lieut.. l.. A. Lowering, Fourth Infantry, de
tailed TO the Sis-eton and Wahpeton agency
in South Dakota. They will both prohahl,
be successful in their efforts and other Of
iicers sent in their stead.
Major Norveli, Tenth Cavalry, who has
been appointed Indian agent Mt Fort Bel
knap, Mou., will serve without objection,
as he has expressed Willingness to accept
such an assignment. 1t IL understood that
the chief objection to such duty by army
officers is that il is outside of the linr of
their regular military duties and thai they
are hampcred in their action by a divided
responsibility to the war and interior de
partments. to say nothing of the minor har-
assmcnts from contractors and the Indians
themselves,

IIiiI assumed charge of the Atndroscoggin

deputies have all been sworn in- oihn
and oBrien, the famous liquor deputies
have retired with the old year from the
field and the liquor dealers are
in their glory for while al least.
1t is surprising TO see the number of new
lob wagons that have come out to-day. The
iobbers expect To do a good business now in
transporting the cargoes of liquor thai il is
said have been ordered by local dealers to
arrive here tonight.
Deputies Ollin and O'Brieu have male
things warm for dealers in the contrabanA
article, aud now that the formers commits
sions have expired and no new liquor depu-
ties having been appointed the way of the
transgressor seems easy.
All the liquor raids now mus, be confined
to Sheriff Hill and City Marshal Me
Donough, and as neither can give his whole
attention to the business 1t appears possible
for the liquor sellers to experience a run of
good luck that they have not known for a
long tine.
City Marshal McDonough gives the peo-
Pile to understand that if the liquor sellers
think they are going to food the city they
will find themselves mistaken, and all com
plants made TO him or any of his officers
will be promptly attended to.
