Arizona weekly citizen., 1893-09-23

WHEN the Allison brothers began the
building Of their irrigating ditch, on the
west side of the valley, the wise heads
of this town belittled the enterprise and
predicted failure of the project and
foresaw financial ruin to the enterpris-
ing firm. Strange as it may appear,
however, the enterprise has been more
successful than even its sanguine pro-
moters had reason to anticipate. The
recent floods cut back the head of the
ditch and reached a supply of water
that an expenditure of thousands of
dollars could not have uncovered. The
result is more water in the canal than
there is land available for its nse. Ad-
ditional land is now to be brought under
1t, and still more must be cleared for
the coming year. If Tucson is ever to
be again a prosperous city the fertile
lands adjacent to her must be brought
under cultivation. This can only be
done by an expenditure of money and
the vast underlying currents of the val
ley brought to the surface. The Messrs.
Allison have boldly pointed out the
way, let others have the courage to
follow.

dead faint. Upon being resuscitated he
had seen Ell Espiritu del Orc. On the
very next day however, he went into
the same gallery and few hours later
was found dead from suffocation. To
| the Indian mind this was sufficient, and
dozens of rich properties are today left
| unworked in the state of Durango. be-
cause the Indians have an idea that they
are haunted by this demon.
VI course the miner will recognize at
once that the cause of all the trouble is
choke damp. 1t puts out the light at
times; does not cause death, but instead
a falntless that lasts for hours, and
comes in the form of shadow or dense
mist. The idea OF the personality Is of
course the creature of superstition, but
the fact remains true nine cases out of
ten when a company of workmen are
met by it, none escape.
The myth goes further, and a man
who has gold that came out of a mine
cursed by the demon is at all times
subject to annihilation. The course
follows the metal through all channels
in which it circulates, and when high
wavmen are captured and killed it is
often laid to the fact that they IN their
robbery came into possession of the
accursed metal. 1t is the unholiest of
all uEholy things and its purification is
q matter of impossibility. Still, the idea
that it is not all cursed leaves them an
opportunity to violate a safe rule of
preservation, as we violate our philo-
sophie injunctlons. and amass money,
though its love is the root of all evil

ARIZONA AT THE FAIR.

Hon. Tom Sorin, now in charge Of the
Arizona exhibition at the Worlds fair,
writes the Enterprise in reply to an arti-
Gle in the CITIZEN, printed some time
since, over the name of Progress" We
rise to remark right here that prog
ress" is a reliable business man, a resi-
dent of indianapolis, Ind. and we regret
to say that what ne SAID of Arizona's
display. e., the display made by the
territorial commissioners, out of the
$4,000 appropriated by the legislature
for that purpose, was true and "pity tis
tis true"
IL Mr.. Sorin's very elaborate defense
not one word is said of the work of the
commissioners, even the tour Navajo
blankets are omitted by his eulogistic
pen, but he devotes his entire attention
to the compliments of visitors on the
private exhibits of Arizona's enterpris-
ing citizens. The display made by the
Copper Queen company, of Bisbee, the
Arizona Copper company, Detroit Cop
per company, Old Dominion, United
Verde, Commercial and United Globe
companies are such as to WIN universal
praise from all, but the magnificent pro-
ductions were the result of private en-
terprse, and did not entail one dollar OF
expense to the commissioners.
Even the onyx display, as may be
gathered from Mr.. Sorin's own state
ment, was borrowed from private firms
in Chicago. OF this he says under his
9th: Notwithstanding the fact that
owners OF onyx properties in the terri
tory declined to send any lines of sam
ples, Arizona will take the cake for the
finest sample of onyx at the fair, the
same being from the Big Bug quarry.
1t is one inch thick, twenty five inches
wide and ninety-one inches long, is
beautifully variegated, handsomely pol
ished and has not a flaw. This l secured
from Sherman & Flavin, on State street,
10 this city, and it is backed up by five
other samples from private firm on
Washington street."
We are not denying these things.
Private enterprise has been every thing
to us, without it We would, indeed, have
cut sorry figure. The exhibit in the
mineral building is one of the grandest
if not the very finest on exhibition, but
for this. Arizona must thank the gene
rosity of her citizens who, without q
dollar of expense to her, redeemed hel
good name from disgrace. We hope
that these same private citizens will wiz
every medal offered, but when the
awards are made they should be made
to the citizens and companies whose In
dividual and united efforts won tn,
Cross and crown of merit from compel
ing states.

FREE COINAGE OF SILVER.

At the next general election the free
coinage of silver will be an Issue before
the people, and the two old parties will
be forced to do some tall trimming if
| they wish to maintain a national su-
premacy. Silver is bsyond doubt the
money of the people, and the party first
to recognize this important truth will be
| the first to sound the paen of victory
Ii this is not done the allegiance of tie
producing class will be alienated from
them and another party will rise on
their ruins into power. Even staid old
Massachusetts,, now mlsrepresented In
both houses of congress, declared In
convention, few days since, in favor of
the free coinage of silver, ard on that
issue the coming state election is to be
fought by the peoples party. The fol-
lowing plank was embodied in their
platform:
We emphasize the insufficiency of the
circulating medium for the business
needs of the country. We insist that
the refusal of congress. while repealiug
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act, to give to silver any money func-
ton, plainly proves that both the old
parties are determined to force upon US
a single gold standard. The worlds ex-
changes increase several times as fast as
the supply available for coinage. Thus,
on gold basis, the purchasing power
Of a dollar is increased, the debtor
robbed and the creditor enriched by a
vicious and arbitrary change iii the con-
tract, time obligations made contingent
upon the luck of the miner and the
Vaccinations of speculators, and period
ical panics precipitdted in a land OF
plenty. We believe the time has co me
to take the nations money completely |
out of the realm os private speculation, |
and to look to Washington and net Lon |
d N for stable conditions of commerce. |
If silver is to be permanently deprived |
of its morey function, gold also should |
be demonetiZed; and, therefore, We call |
for a system of legal tender treasury
notes, issued only by the goverr ment, t.
be irredeemaole exceUt AS they are re-
for government dues and regu-
lated in volume as the market price of
commodities may indicate, SO that the /
supply Of money shall keep pace with
the legitimate demands OF business and
demora izing huct ations in the pur
chasing power of the dollar cease for
ever. In default of such an issue of
legal-tender notes, we favor free coinage
of silver as affording with gold more
honest money than gold alone.

THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

Olapp & Co. in their weekly
market letter thus punGently sum up
the financial outlook.
political kites are frequently attached
to public measures. The redundancy
of currency is not as plain as the redun-
dancy of words. Amazing stupidity
appears to prevent bars from becoming
com. FInacial incapacity appears pre-
venting the government securingsne5ded
reserves to preserve credit. Mill owners
and manufacturers stand ready to
beckon back their men. Tariff schedules
stand like a spectre between them.
Money stands on bauk doorsteps un-
certain whether to enter. Promotion
is full of energy but dare not go
into action. The people long for pollti-
cal funerals to diminish the list OF op-
portunists who neglect duty. Their
elected agents will do double duty if

STRUCK A BONANZA.
A Thirty-FOot Gold Ledge in
the Santa Ritas.
A Surface Assay Shows 50 Ore
Wood and Water Adjacent
in Abundance.

A gold mine of one of the biggest
lodges of low grade ore in Arizona has
been discovered in the Santa Ritas by
James Maish and Mr.. Warford.
Some time ago Warford was hunting
in the mountains and while in close
pursuit of game spied rock that looked
to HIM like something rich. He hastily
put piece of it in his pocket and con-
tinued his pursuit. When he brought
it to town an assay showed that it was
very good rock, carrying gold in very
paying quantities.
With Mr.. Maish he started out a
short time ago to find the ledge. They
did not find the one sought, but another
was revealed 10 a reddish soil. The
ledge was thirty feet in width, and could
be followed a mile. The ore wss so
frlable that a pick would 60 right
through it. Float extended even be-
yond the thirty foot ledge. The rain
came pouring down and drove the pros
pectors back to their wagon and home,
though not until they had the best of
the ledge located.
They took samples which assayed over
50 to the ton. This, considering it was
surface ore, easily worked, of so great a
body-miles long and thirty feet wide
and that it will probably be richer un-
foreground, particularly next to the
foot wall, makes Messrs. Maish and
Warford think they have big thing.
The ledge is right among the timber
and below it is big spring. They say
that with a chute from the proposed
mine the spring vicinity would make
good mill site where ore could be
worked at small figure.
OUTSIDERS SEEK IN VAIN.
Practical mining men have said that
from all descriptions the property must
be good one. In fact two of them few
days ago drove out to the Santa Ritas
to seek out the ledge, and locate the
extensions. They failed in the quest,
however,.
Fourteen years ago Frenchman
brought a piece of surface rock from
the Santa Ritas, from what is now sup
posed to be the same vicinity. He had
an assay taken which was of astounding
richness. He died soon after, however,
without revealing the ledge. 1t is quite
possible that the ledge has just been
rediscovered.

A DRIVING PARK.
Organization Under Way. The
Probable Outlay.

Organization Under Way. - The
Probable Outlay.
Everything is favorable for Tucson
having driving park-race ira OK, grand
stand, baseball ground, etc. The COM
mittee are in receipt of numerous offers
of land near the city, some of it we'll
adapted TO the purpose.
Offers have been made by Knox Cor
bett, for 800, Of property south of the
city; Mrs. Kicker has made an offer of
some at a reasonable figure east of
town; j. Soldini has named a rental Of
81 year as the compensation he would
demand for good grounds north of the
city; X. Starr has some land west of
town he offers, which he says could be
irrigated at the expense of building
bitches; Joseph Goldbau also offers
land adjacent to the city, naming his
price, it is understood, as 500. At all
events land IN plenty is available, and it
will not cost much.
AS for the other expenses, of lumber.
grading, etc, it is estimated that they
will be about $500. A close board
fence for third d-ofs-mile track was Of
fered by Thomas Wilson, of the Tucson
Lumber company, for $3.50. For a half
mile track the lumber expense would
probably not be more than would make
the total cost $500. The intention now
is to make the park an embracing
affair. The race-horse men, the bIcy-
clIsts, the gun club and the baseball
people are all expected to take an inter-
est in the concern that will result in a
park being made. An association will
probably be formed to include the
various foregoing interests, in which the
public of Tucson will be more than
welcome to invest. Gate receipts will
undoubtedly be big item, probably
enough to make the investment satis-

DEATH OF LUKE SHORT.
Something of the Career of a Noted
Killer Known to Many Africans.

L
Luke Short, the noted cowboy and
kIiier, died at Gueda Springs, Kansas,
at clock lsst Friday morning. De-
ceased was SO years of age, and native
of Arkansas. He came to Texas when a
mere child, engaged in the cattle
business as a cowboy and made money.
Subsequently he became a scout under
General Crook and went to the Black
Hills. While travelling through that
country alone with dispatches he was
attacked by fifteen Indians, five of whom
be killed, when the others stampeded.
In 1877 he lived in Nebraska, but got
along for year without killing any.
body. In 1878 he went 10 Dakots and
started monte game, over which he
killed two men who demanded back
the money they had lost at the game.
Later on, in the same region, in much
the same manner and for much the
same cause, Short killed two more nen.
In the spring of 1881 Short went to
Tombstone, Arizona, and was dealing
faro for Lou Rickabaugh.. when Char
ley Storms, one of the bad men of that
bad camp in those days, first went af-
ter Rickabaugh and then after Short,
when the latter put one bullet through
his heart and another into his bowels
thus killing his tenth man.
His most notable killing, however,
was that of Jim Courtwrght, the des-
perado and dead shot, in Fort Worth ou
the Sth of February, 1887. Courtwright
was Shorts eleventh and last victim.
though he took shot at a man named
Wright, in Fort Worth, in 1891, after
Wright had put a load of buckshot
through his left thigh, tearing away the
tips of his left thumb and two fingers

A Day of Record Smashing.

CHICAGO, Sept. Is. - The stallion
trotting record was today broken to
2O:61s, and the worlds pacing record OF
2O4 equalled at four heats was desper-
ately fought from wire to wire in the
greatest race trotted this year. The
sport WAS witnessed by $4,000 people at
washington park today. The day was
not one for speed, the wind blowing in
the horses faces, all the way down the
home stretch. Before Directum was
brought out it was announced that
owing to the high wind he would be
sent against his own record of 2O:7 in
stead OF against Nancy Hanks record
OF 2O:4, 1t being conceded that to equal
the latter time on such a day would be
impossible. Directum made the first
quarter In thirty three, resched the half
In lO:3 and three quarters In BAL. Turn
ing into the home stretch he met the
full force OF the strong wind but came
to the wire in 206115. 1t was almost dark
before Flying Jib was brought out. 1t
had been the intention to send him
against the pacing record of Mascot,
but on account of the wind 1T was de-
cided to send hlm against his own rec
ord of 2O515. He made quarter in 32I
half in 1:O215, three quarters in 1:32
and mile in 2O5.
Monroe Salisbury, of California, who
owns both Directum and Flying Jib,
was apparently the happiest man on the
earth.
Four heats were trotted in the free
for-all, and it is still unfinished. Wilde,
who was injured yesterday, was with
drawn, and 1t is stated she will probably
never race again. In the sixth heat,
Plxley set frantic pace from thestart
and made a mile in 20934, which con-
sidering the high wind, was a woun-
derful performance.
On today's heats the horses stand:

A CORRESPONDENT writes the Los An
geles Times to ask the meaning OF the
word "cIoture," which has been used in
connection with the actions OF the
United States senate within the last
few days. ''Cloture" is a method of
putting au end to debate and securing
an immediate vote upon a measure be-
fore a legislative bedy. 1t is similar in
effect to "tte previous question" 1t
was first introduced in the British house
of commons in 1882. The French word
"cloture" was originally applied to this
proceeding.
