NJ. J. B. Wagstaff, special agent of the treasury department, return ed Sunday from a tour of inspee- tion of customs matters in south ern New Mexico and Arizona. He went west some three weeks ago for a general inspection of offices, and for a particular inquiry into the conduct of treasury employees. He found customs officers generally alert and the books of tue offices correct. But he is more than ever impressed with the insufficiency of the force of inspectors. He de- clares it not only impossible for the present force to prevent smuggling, but that it is absurd for them to be expected to do so. The guard is actually not large enough to seri- ously interfere with the business of smuggling if the smugglers do not object to little inconvenience. If Mir. Wagstaf makes his chief rec concentrations in accord with these facts he will do great service to American interests along the bor- der, according to the opinion of a majority of the best business men of this and other border towns El Paso Times,

A RECENT dispatch in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says that charges of very damaging charac- ter have been preferred against Gov. Hughes and that Secretary Hoke Smith has asked our delegate to name his successor. Col. Hoge, who was appointed minister to China, and who was recalled from San Francisco while on his way to the Flowery Kingdom, is said to have a hand in the matter. Gov. Hughes is said.,to have been instru- mental in Col. Hoge's recall and the latter named is paying him back in his own coin.

Mining and Scientific Press = It has been suggested that the saf- est way for claimants who give mo- tice that they intend te hold and in good faith to work unpatented min- ing claims, in order to secure the benefit of the assessment work sus- pension act, will be for them to have the recorder to return their notices after they have been record ed. with his certificate thereon showing that due record has been made. It is not necessary to put up duplicate or any notice at the mine. It is probable, too, that the law will be fully complied with if the owner or owners of several mines in one district unite in one notice. Still, it would be better, perhaps, to give separate notices.

THE following from the Prescott Courier applies with equal force to all localities: Any move which will help any one interest of this coun- ty is bound to help all the others If a man sells mine fos 5000 cash the money will change hands fifteen times in a few days and have a paying up capacity of $15,000. There has never been a mining sale in this section but what a lot of people who never saw the mine rushed in and paid up back bills 10 the extent of an hundred dollars or more. If your neighbor makes money, rejoice, for he will circulate it and you will get your share as it passes around.

A DISPATCH from Durango, Mex leo, dated the 22d ult., gives the following account of the kidnap- pinb of an American girl: The pre- feet of the district of Concordia and a party of rural guards are in close pursuit of the bold trio of Mexicans who kidnapped Miss Charlotte Newman, a pretty Ameri- can girl, few days ago. Miss New man lived at Mazatlan with her mother, who is highly respected. She was on her way by stage from Aguas CalIentes to Mazatlan, when the drlver suddenly refined up at a call from the roadside, where four men on horseback sat coolly point ing reyOlvers at his head. There was no demand for coin, and from the quiet manners of the highway men the driver could draw no idea of the nature of their demands while one man held a gun on the driver and attended to the horses, the other-two dismounted and step ped to the end of, the coach and courteously requested the young lady to come out. The frightened girl recognized the larger man, a magnificent looking fellow, as Jose Valdez, her rejected lover, and di- vining the plot, she begged the pas sengers to save her. Valdez warned them to do nothing and as they had no firearms they dared not protest against the actions of the bold rob- bers. After urging Miss Newman to come out without avail, Valdez and his companion laid hold of her and carried her to the horses, plac- ing her upon one, tying her to the saddle and lead the horse into the mountains. The Mexican authori- ties were at once notified of the kidnapping of the young lady.

A decision has just been render ed by Judge Van Dyke, of Los An geles, which IS of the utmost inter- est to persons concerned in the re- clamation of arid lands. He holds in effect that rivers in arid regions running subterraneously through layers of sand, pebbles and silt are governed by different laws than those rivers which have we'll defin- ed riparian boundaries and flow above the surface of the ground. Percolation, as he defines it with regard to rivers in the arid regions, can only be applied to waters per- colating at the headwaters of a riv- CT in the mountains, before any we'll defined course is manifested by the flow of the river proper itself. Af- ter having a we'll defined course, all waters gathered near the river he declares to be part of the river wa ter. Owing to the gravelly and sandy characteristics of the soil any one might divert the rights of prior appropriators by the sinking of pipes to catch the waters perco- lating through the soil adjacent to the defined course of river.-En- terprise.

Ix,view of the fact that Arizona

IN>view of the fact that Arizona is almost certain to become one of
 the sisterhood of States, 1t be-
 hooyes the Democrats in all the counties of the territory to close up their ranks. All past differences should be healed-all petty prejn- dices should be buried-all animos- ities for fancied Or real grievances put away out of sight. To carry the election in case of statehood, the above is an absolute necessity. No true Democrat, in view of the importance of the coming election, will let anything that may have transpired in the past influence his political actions in the future. When we become a state, we will, of course, have voice in national affairs. The success or defeat of a party will have some political sig nificance beyond it's immediate sur roundings. The result may be so close that a few votes may turn the scale. There was disaffection in the Democratic ranks in this coun- ty at the last general election. The Republican candidate for delegate to congress carried it by small majority, and a few Republicans were elected on the county ticket. This was the result of the disaffec- ton before spoken of. The Demo- crats of Apache county cannot af- ford to gratify any private pique, no matter what the cause, in the coming election. When the party is united and casts her full vote, there is no doubt aS to the results Our leaders should go to work at once to organize the party for the approaching conflict.

Some Early History of Yuma.

The first ferry established in
 Yuma was by Dr. Lincoln in 1849
 Soon after he was joined by the ia
 snous and notorious John Glanton
 and hls twelve followers from Texas,
 who had a contract with the States
 of Chihuahua and Sonora for In
 dian scalps, at so much apiece, and
 who never stopped killing though
 it was a Mexican, provided his hair
 would pass for that of an Indian.
 With the ferry they reaped a rich
 harvest here at Yuma. They were soon at outs with the Yuma h. dians, whom Glanton accused of robbing and murdering passing im-
 migrants, crimes committed by himself. A great amount of bull' ion, gold, silver and jewelry are said to have been buried by Clan ton and his party under mesquite tree on the bank of the Colorado. just below the bridge. Though searched for, it has neve been found. Finally Glanton killed man who was friendly to the Indians, when they attacked and massacred the whole party except three, On the 11th of July, 1850, and just after the massacre, Don Diego Jaeger, Ben Hartshorn, Geo. A. Johnson, Dr. Ogden, Dr. Minturn, and Blake, Turf, Moses, Ankrim and Archi- bald arrived in Yuma, and the fer ry was re established. During the fall of 1850 and spring of '5l more than 60,O00 people crossed the Col orado on their ferry. To protect the immigration Fort Yuma was estab- lished in December, 1850. Owing to want of supplies it was aban- doned in June, 1851, but re estab- lished in March, 1852, by Majors Heintzelman and Stoneman with six companies of soldiers. The h. dians kept up their warfare until February, 1853, when they were soundly thrashed by the troops, near the boundary line, and 143 of them killed. Under the protection of the troops, sprung up the town of Colorado City, afterwards Ari- zona City, now included within the limits of the village of Yuma Sentinel.

The verdict of the coroner's jury in the case of the Yuma Indian, Pelon, supposed to have fallen from a freight train below Gila Bend, is that he was killed by the stroke of some blunt instrument. Pelon was one of the scouts employed in the pursuit of the outlaws, Sontag and Evans and was present at the first cabin fight when Evans and Sontag shot down two of the posse. Pelon was said to be on his way to testify in the Evans trial,-Phenix Her. aid.

Sonora advices state that Fran cisco Rivera, one of the most dar- ing desperadoes that ever infested the border, was fatally shot by the chief of police of Imuris, forty miles south of the border, in So- nora, last Friday, while resisting ar- rest, For years Rivera has been a terror along the Mexican line, and his robberies are counted by the hundreds. His extraordinary cour- age intimidated officers and citizens alike. He was wanted for a rob- bery recently committed near Imu- ris, and when the chief of police undertook to arrest him he made bold stand, but the officer knew what to expect and got the drop on Rivera, firing three times, each shot striking the man. One bullet pass ed through the lungs and caused death.-Enterprise.

IT may be an interesting bit of news to many readers to know that Minnesota was admitted into the union with a population of 5000 people, Oregon with 5000, Nevada with 6,S00 and Illinois with 12,00O. Admitting that Arizona had but 60,000 souls at the last census, where does the argument come in on the ground of inadequate popu- lation?-Prospector.

@1!A!:'!,!! 1!!:'!,! Bski;'s Bs1x5ss1: ABSOLUTELY PURE

With full understanding of the
 anxiety of the settlers on tfe land
 grant questions, Lieutenant Flip
 per advises them not 10 push their cases too much. It is better to wait and be thoroughly prepared. The Algodones case was lost mainly for lack of sufficient preparation. The attorney for the government and his assistants, as we'll as the seve- ral attorneys employed by the set
 tiers, are using all due diligence in working up the cases and want to be ready before they go to trial. Several new points were brought out by attorney Parker in the Mo- gales case, and the poor showing made by the grant attorneys after nearly ten years preparation de- monstrates how difficult it is to pre- pare these cases and how little can be done without persistent dili- gence and intelligent research and study, The attorneys, and the court even, are just beginning to under stand the laws under which these grants were made; and the better they comprehend the laws and cus- toms of Mexico, the sooner we are to win. Wonder if Cameron catches on? The great attorneys i2 the Nogales case have discovered, if they have discovered anything, that to be a thorough Spanish scholar, and to be conversant with Spanish and Mexican laws, it is not neces- sary to be Mexican; and per con- tra that one, in whose veins there is not a suspicion of Spanish blood, may be both.-Daily Nogales

THE general land office has re- gently rendered an important deci- sion as to what constitutes cultiva- tion under the desert land act, says an exchange, in case where it is claimed that the raising of hay crops for two seasons was sufficient. The Commissioner decides that this is not sufficient, and says: "The term cultivation in the desert land law is held to mean the tilling of the soil by agricultural processes in order to raise crops; not mere irri- gation. It is impossible to deter mine in this case whether the hay raised was the product of native grasses or not. Ii 1t was, though produced by irrigation, there has not been such cultivation shown as required" This decision will have a widespread effect and it seems that the proof must show the plant ing of seed and the resultant crop on one-eighth of the land sought to be patented. From this decision it will be seen that a hay crop, even if  it is produced by artificial irriga- tion, does not entitle the claimant to a patent, and as a natural se- quence land that will produce hay comes under the desert land head. The intent of the law is, that the land must be reclaimed and crops raised.

Free Press There is now over 60,O00 acres on the Mesa, cleared and under canals. This land is as fertile as can be found on the Pa- cific coast, and is destined, in the not long years, to afford hundreds of homes for industrious people. Besides this there are fully 500 acres more that only await the stor- age of water to make it one of the most productive sections on the coast.
