The Land of Promise

Is the mighty West, the land that "tckled with hoe laughs at harvest" the Fl Dorado of the miner; the goal of the agricultural emigrant. While it teens with all the elements of wealth and prosperity, some of the fairest and most fruitful portions of it bear 6 harvest of malaria reaped in its fulness by those unprotected by a medicinal safeguard. No one seeking or dwell ling in malarial locality is safe from the scourge without Hostetters Stomach Bittcrs' Emigrants, bear this in mind. Commercial trav- elers sojourning in malarious regions should carry 6 bottle of the Bitters in the traditional gripsaek. Against the effects of exposure, men tsl or bodily overwork, damp and unwholesome food or water, it is an infallible defense, Con- 6 ipaton, rheumatism, biliousness, dyspepsia nervousness and loss of strength are all reme- died by this genial restorative.

LARGE numbers of Bohemians are being employed in the canner- ies in Delaware. Twenty-one wag- on loads arrived at the village of Odessa, in that state lately and went to work. What the end will be of this wholesale importation of cheap foreign labor into our coun- try does not require much of a prophet to forecast.

Some sample of ore brought in this week from the Maloney mines in Gro Blanco district equal in ap- pearance anything ever produced Tn Arizona. We have seen prettier specimens, but as samples of con tinuous vein matter nothing to
 surpass. The rock is a rusty quartz, that would crush like chalk under battery and is full of free gold plainly visible without a glass. If the boys have a quantity of this ore in their new strike, they have a fortune assured.-Vidette

Sheriff Scott White returned last night from the Sonora line, where he had been on the trail of man who broke into M. Larrien's ranch house at Contention and stole sev- eral pairs of blankets and Win chester rifle. He followed the man to Huachuca where he recov- cred the rifle, and then set out on the trail leading south. He travel ed all night and part of the next day, coming up with his man at the line and capturing him just this side. He was in wagon and made no resistance. The fellow gave his name as Francisco. All of the stolen property was recovered. Itis rare- ly that Sheriff White fails to get his man, and this last instance is another proof of his staying qualities.-Prospector.

Criticism of New Mexico.

The follwing, in defence of our sister territory, New Mexico, ap- pears in the Boston Transcript. It is from the pen of MT. Haywood. who is now an editorial contributor on that leading journal:
 "Caustic criticism of New Mexi- co has been excited by the bloody affrays at Las Vegas last week in which two Mexicans were killed and several wounded. The terri tory has been held up to derision and scorn as an unworthy subject for statehood in the near future. But the affair in question deserves consideration entirely apart from the political issue of the pending statehood bill. The unqualified arraignment of the territory is due to ignorance of conditions, existing there. Instead of New Mexico be- ing in the midst of a blody reign of terror by Mexican banditti as alleged, it is just emerging into freedom from their attacks.
 "UntiI within year there has existed a secret society of Mexi- can assassins and thieves, having members in every community, who preyed upon the upper class of law-abiding Mexicans as much as upon the American residents. It was as vicious and deadly as the Mafia and Mollie Maguires. It had previously terrorized the judiciaray, defed the federal authorities and secured the connivance of the coun- ty officers, most of whom were un- scrupulous Mexican politicians. There has been a concerted effort to break up the gang of outlaws. At the head of this movement are Governor w. L. Thornton, Thomas Smith, United States District judge of Las Vegas, and Don Felix Mar tinez, clerk of the county court of that place. These fearless and in corruptible men caused to be ar rested, convicted and hanged four of the ringleaders and are pursuing the rest so relentlessly as to have practically broken up their nefari- ous organization, and several more legal hangings may be expected within few months. This repre- sents in a more lawful way the uprising of the loyal citizens to stamp out band of criminals such as occurred in the vigilant com mittee days of California"

Mark Smiths Record.

The unfair and false charges made by partisan papers of Arizo- na that Delegate Mark Smith has practically effected nothing for Ari- zona during the time he has been in Congress, has led the Gazette to investigate the columns of the Con- gressional Rscord, where it finds the following refutation of the ma- licious islanders of his enemies: He passed through the House the bill for the admission of Ari- zona and Secured from the Sem ate committee favorable report thereon.
 He has passed through the House a bill repaying to counties in Ari- zona the expenses incurred in the trial of Indians charged with crime. This will aggregate some $50,000 to the different counties.
 He has had placed on the gener- al deficiency bill a clause requiring the Attorney General to pay Arizo- na what is equitably due her for the keep of Indians confined in the Yuma prison. This amounts in round numbers to $30,000.
 He has passed through both hou- ses the bill granting to the Territo- ry of Arizona for prison purposes 2,O00 acres of land in Yuma Coun- ty which, it is hoped, will in the near future make that prison self sustaining. This bill has been signed by the President and has be- come law.
 He has, as member of the Com mittee on Indian Affairs, procured a large increase for the support of the Indian school at Phoenix over the amount reported in the origi- nal bill.
 He has procured large increase in the appropriation bill for the support of the Surveyor Generals office, thus enabling settlers to ac- quire title to lands which have been long surveyed, but not finally set tied on account of lack of clerical hire in that office.
 He has passed through both hou' ses a bill, which is now law, per. hitting Coconino County to issue bonds for the erection of a Court House and safe vaults for the pro lection of county records.
 He has passed through the House and has secured thereon favora ble report from the Senate Com mittee, a bill empowering the Chic Justice of the Territory to appoint commissioners, not residents with | in 30 miles of the land office, tc take testimony in land cases, thus saving the settlers the immense ex pense incident to long journeys tc the land office.
 He caused an appropriation o $15,000 to be applied by the United States Attorney in the court of pri vate land claims in defense by the government of the settlers on Mex ican land grants. He also procur- ed an appropriation of $10,OO0 fol the defense of the United States 1T the Peralta land grant case.
 He introduced bill and had il referred to the committee on pub lie lands extending the time fol making improvements in desert land cases for one year, thus enab ling those who were not able to gel the water on the land, an addition al years time to accomplish it.

charge at this place, and the sentiment
Of the community outside Of the active.
church membership IS equally as pro
nounced in desiring his retnrn, all feeling
that it would be a public misfortune to
lose the services of Mr.. Nazerene for the
coming year, and it Is hoped that the con-
ference will see the advisability of re-
turning him to this place There would
be no question but this would be done
by the conference, but owing to the bus
mess depression aud crop failure the
church has got considerably behind
with the pastors salary, and this may
initiate against his return. 1t is hoped
that this matter will also be arranged,
but the:necessity for prompt a response
by those who have unpaid subscriptions
for this cause can be plainly seen.
