Sailors on the Great Lakes.

New York Evening Post.
The lake sailors, whose head
quarters are at Chicago, the largest
inland port in the world, have the
prospect of a. very dull season be-
fore them. Wages open this spring
at $3.50 day, as compared with 50
last year, and even at the lower
figure steady work is hard to find.
The pay of these "sweet water"
sailors as they are called, is usually
so much higher than that received
by their ocean brothers. - ruling
as high as 50 day late
in the season, when winter is
setting in and navigation is haz-
ardous--that the service has prov
edvery attractive to men who have
been accustomed to ship for vOy-
ages half way round the globe and
accept $25 a month as full cOmpen-
sation for the hardships they en-
dure and the rough usage expert
enced. Moreover, on the lake ships
the sailors are we'll fed, and make
port so often that they enjoy a
great deal of personal liberty. The
result is that the Atlantic craft
have contributed largely of their
crews to the fleets on the
lakes Most. of the sweet
water sailors are Germans,
Danes and Norwegians. Usually
they earn money enough during
the months from spring to autumn
to take life easy as long as winter
lasts. But everything seems to be
against "Jack" this year. To be-
gin with, a late cold snap filled the
Lake Superior channels with ice
just as navigation babe fair to re-
main open. Then it came out that
hundreds of vessels loaded with
grain at their docks all winter to
save storage could not dispose Of
it, the market being so dull, and
finally the ore tonnage contracted
for by the Lake Superior mines
has fallen off one-half.

THE Chicago Typographical Un- ion has bought a large tract of land in California, and is also purchas- ing land in the Pecos Valley, New Mexico, with view of establishing fruit-growing colonies composed of printers entirely. This movement is to provide homes and vocation for members of the Union who 1t is anticipated will be, at no distant day in the future, thrown out of employment by the introduction of type-setting machines into gen eral use.

Doc. Thorn Mine Discovered.

l A letter received yesterday from Globe brings the intelligence that the old Doc. Thorn mine has at last been discovered by party from Globe, The iocators are Charles
 Edwards, Sheriff J. H. Thompson, Williams Beard, a we'll known mi her, and William Scott. The prop
 erty was first seen by Carrelman Cresswell, last summer, and was found by the exploring party above named with but little trouble. The property they found shows all that the old legend chronicled: A broad ledge, rich in free gold and bearing evidence of extensive workings. The ledge has been opened in a manner that indicates that some skilled miner had at some time worked the vein, and thousands of dollars worth of effective work has been done. The party slipped back to Globe and then quietly back, telling few of their find, and they have no doubt that a wonderful bo- nanza has been struck. The mine lies north of McMillen on Cibucu Greek. The "Doc. Thorn mine" has for many years been the favor ite theme with miners, and score of outfits have been fitted out for no other purpose than it's discov- cry, It was found early in the six ties by Dr. Thorn, a captive among the Apaches, who had been saved from torture and death, by reason of his skill with wounds and knowl- edge of healing herbs. Escaping from the Apaches, he headed par ty of about 100 men from Mexico, leading 1t back to the White Noun tains and nearly to Cibucu Creek, when they were scared out by the Apaches. Thorn to the day of his death protested that the greatest gold mine of the world lay conceal ed in the hills to the north of Salt River, but till now none have found anything that approaches his de- scription.-Gazette.

Yavapai's board of Supervisors are seriously considering the matter of payment of interest on P. & A. c. Railway bonds, or rather of the non-payment of the interest. They take the ground that the county paid $300,000 for an operating rail road, and that when there is no such railroad in existence, the coun- ty is not supposed to pay for some thing which 1t has not obtained ; that the county agreed to pay so much for live railroad and that a dead railroad cannot legally draw the interest. There are said to be many strong precedents for this stand, which appears to the Courier to be a reasonable one, at least, as no one is supposed to pay for goods which are not delivered. The dis trict attorney has also been instruct ed to test the constitutionality oi the exemption act, which ought tc to be knocked sky high.-Courler

It has no doubt often occurred to you while walking on the street that you have met pedestrian going in the opposite direction, and, in the attempt to pass you, bob from one side to the other, both being imbu- ed with the same idea. The result is lodging two or three times from one side to the other before either gets by. The other day a reporter met with that experience, and gay young colored girl was the pedes- trian coming in the opposite direc- ton. After two or three manou- vers the colored woman exclaimed : "For de Lawd's sake, man. what is this a-gwian to be-a waltz or a schottiche?-Philadelphia Call.

Temporary Certificates.

There is practice very general in the territory for unqualified per- sons to obtain schools during the interim between teachers examina- tions, and then, after teaching two or three months, fail to appear for examination, draw their pay for the time they have taught and then drop out of the pedagogic profes- sion. Instances have been known when the temporary certificates held by such persons have been ex- tended for three months more, till the time when the generality of the county schools have finished their short terms. The recipient of the temporary certificate is usually a resident of the district wherein he or she is to teach, and frequently Q daughter of the main trustee, who thus gets his children taught at a profit to himself.
 Complaints are already coming this year from several of the coun- tics as to this practice, which does much to injure the cause of educa- tion in the localities where 1t Is al- lowed. The natural deduction is that no person should be allowed to preside in school room without territorial certificate, unless such person has previously filed with the county superintendent satisfac- tory written evidence as to his or her fitness and qualification for the position, and furthermore agree to forfeit to the school fund at least half the salary of the place in the event of failure at the examination next coming-Phenix Gazette.

The Prescott Courier states lions are plentiful and a great annoyance to live stock men in Yavapai coun- ty, Over $500 worth of lion scalps were brought in from various parts of the county during the past quar- ter, in addition to several scalps of bear and a number of lynx scalps. The lions in the neighborhood of Walnut Grove alone have we'll nigh destroyed the horse industry, one stockman alone having lost fifty colts in that neighborhood.

A DISPATCH from Denison, Texas, of a recent date says: With the be- ginning of the year the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, Santa Fe and
 other systems determined to aban- don the practice of issuing free passes to livestock shippers and their subordinates. The cattlemen of Texas are making arrangements for a meeting to be held at Fort Worth to see if they cannot make an issue with the railway compa- nies to have the free pass privileges restored agains The plan agreed upon is to concentrate all shipments as near as possible to one road, with the understanding that passes be issued as heretofore. This, 1t is believed, will compel the other rail- way companies to respond to the shippers dictations. All of the prominent cattlemen in the State are corresponding with each other on the subject, and date is being made for the meeting at Fort Worth.

Arizona will not be admitted to statehood this year, or next year or in all probability during President Cleveland's administration. If the bill does pass it will be vetoed.
