claim on which no assessment work
has been done this year. The provi.
sions of the act amending section 1872
of the United States revised statutes
exemptlng the miners from doing the
annual 500 worth of work on the
claims, requires that notice of intention
to hold and work the claim shall be
filed before January l, 1895.
Mr.. Mullin of the Blinn Lumber
Company says that every rancher who
buys board remarks nowadays with
the air of man who is administering a
stab in the side. when the north and
south road gets here we will get this fo1
one half what it is now" A feature OF
the new order of things to which Mr..
Mullln directs attention is that it will
then be possible to carry an equal stock
with much less capital invested, which
is surely desideratum to any business
house.
One of the principal objections to the
cloaks of which the Alkire Company
have sold SO many this season is that
they cover a considerable portion OF the
| dress beneath. Now the average lady
who buys her cloak of the Aikire Com
pany has also sufficient sense not to
overlook their choice line OF dress good
and there is the dilemma. 1t is impos-
able to display the entire beauty of the
dress and at the same time wear the
cloak.
A systematic effort will be begun to-
day to raise the $3.50 estimated to be
necessary for the entertainment of the
visiting teachers of the joint institute
which will convene next Mondvy. Mr..
D. L. hurry of the school board will
start out with a subscription list and
will expect all who are interested IN
educational matters and in the good
name OF Phoenix for hospitality to con-
tribute literally. The committee of
local teachers has been working dill
gently. Arrangements have been made
for the board and lodgings of the guests
during the week of the institute.
A few days ago, a horse old and hope
lessy crippled, hobbled up to the barn
of Hon. J. A. Marshall. With a merci-
full motive he hired man to take the
horse out and shoot him. The execu-
toner was not fatal expert; he put
bullet through the neck of the doomed
animal and he fell so apparently dead
that the executioner decided to waste
no more ammunition. Dsregarding a
territorial statute he went away leav-
ing the carcass unburied. The next
morning when Mr.. Marshall got up
the first animate object he saw was the
old horse standing in front of his house
winking derisively.
The oldest Hassayampers had to ad-
nit last night that they never saw any
thing like it before. They had known
1t to rain all day, and that was consid-
cred remarkable thing. But when it
got to raining day and two nights at
a single stretch it was something mirac-
ulous. Some of them are trying to es-
tablish some sort of connection between
the aqueous circumstance and the re-
suit of the late election. Farmers are
Jubilant, protesting to believe that the
water problem is in process Of solution.
None OF them, though, have offered |
their water rights for sale below the
regular market price, or have made ar
rangements to fill up their bitches.
Concerning the return of the Apaches
the Silver Belt says: The apprehen-
sion of Geronimo cost the government
more than million Of dollars; the re.
corded distance which he was pursued
was over 81 900 miles. The action of
government in the present instance is
only premonition of the recurrence of
The bloody days Of 1881, the beginning
Of the Cibicu outbreak. The idea I
ot resting on the promise of the
Chlricahuas to maintain peace is
ike leaning on broken reed Those
who know them best scout the relia-
oility of their word. The future will
realize the broken pledges of these re-
Gently returned Indians. The lives and
property of surrounding settlements
will pay the forfeit of the governments
When the evil day comes,
md it is already foreshadowed, then a
of the entire military of
he west, as in 81. will be required to
ubdue them. That, however, will not
Do breakfast spell, but the chase may,
Is has already been witnessed, lengthen
rom months, perhaps, into years.
