New and Safe E,nInur.

"Schuebelite" is the name of a new explosive that is attracting con- siderable attention in France. 1t is not only most powerful agent, but can be handled with perfect safety, the only means by which it can be exploded being a temperature of $40 degrees Fahrenheit. 1t is especially adapted to mining be- cause the impact of the drill will not set of an unexploded charge re- maining in the drill hole. The chief ingredient in the explosive is chlorate of potash. For more than loo years chemists have been trying to overcome the dangerous proper ties of chlorate of potash and bring it into practical use as safe eXplo- sive. This has at last Eeen tccom. plished by two Alsatian brothers by the name of Schnebelin, one a priest and the other lieutenant of French artillery. Recent experiments go to prove all that IS claimed for the new explosive.-Ex.

duction of this deadly disease here. The disease is deadly. not only to horses, but to the human rsce as well, being absolutely incurable. The disease was first introduced in the Salt river valley some four or five years ago, and has obtained such s.foothold there, that the problem of stamping it out has become quite serious. Dr. Brooks, the veterinary surgeon of New Mexico, who visited Phenix with Mir Colin Cameron a few days ago, declares the epidemic to be of the most malignant order, and he recommends the destruction of every animal affected. One man has lost thirty six head of horses from the disease and another has lost fourteen head. There are now forty-o head in quarantine. The Phenix Herald has the following concerning the much to be dreaded disease The horse case, so per sistently followed up against ex- Territorial Veterinary Surgeon 4. J. Chandler, for killing a glandered horse, snd which has cost him over Sj0, though not to the benefit of the owner of the horse, Is bearing fruit now. The present Sanitay Commission Is powefless or will not act with the chances against them, aHd. as a result, the community will lose Is losing thousands of dollars worth of fine stock, and If some ex- traordinsry measures arc not soon taken, further great losses arc sure to occur, and tho territory will be quara stined against by her neigh bora The disease is incurable in man or beast, and only heroic meas ures will subdue it. Our county and city authorities cannot take the matter into consideration too quick ly, and do whatever the law will permit"

 Hon. F. M. Murphy. of Prescott, Arizona, president of rhe Santa Fe Prescott x Phenix Railroad. and a brother of ex-GoveTnor Murphy of : the Territory, is at the Great North ern hotel, en route to Washington. Mr. Murphy is indignantly grieved over a recent article in the Tribune devoted to description of Arizona. --" It was a syndicate letter, written by one Herbert Haywood" said Mir. Murphy, "and falrly reeked with misrepresentations of Arizona. It was so filled with inaccuracies, and so clearly traduced the people of ArizOna, with every apparent feel ing of malignity, that l cannot understand how any reputable paper was ever induced to publish lt.
 " Heywood's letter in the Tribune has aroused great indignation throughout Arizona. Mass meet ing have been held in Phenix. Pres AAkk aA4At bAA1tA AON GSs dAAAl INcOlI- tions have been sent to the papers publishing Heywood's letters, ask ing that they counteract whatever influence his articles may have had by repudiating them as untrust- worthy and untrue.
 " Haywood seems to have been influenced by sentiment opposed a-. sha .1,,,e.es,s, - A

Leaving the question of ad- mission out of consideration, the people of Arizona object to being classified as cutthroats, despera- does, greasers and Indians, or Teo- pie unfit and not intelligent enough for self-goverument.' The fact is, Arizona Is populated by a thrifty, enterprising and prosperous people. Its public school system Is credit able; the university at Tucson is a worthy institution and, notwith- standing the depressed business condition, Arizona Is prosperous.

OUR rHIRrIErH ANNIVERSARY.


 The JoURNAL-MNER to-day cele-
 brates its thirtieth anniversary, or
 the thirtieth anniversary of the es-
 tablishmeut of the ARIZONA MINER.
 The paper has been published con- tinuously ever since its first issue,
 thirty years ago. It retained its
 virgin name as the Arizona Miner
 until August l5, 1885, when it was
 consolidated with and hyphenated
 to the ARIZONA JOURNAL.
 Ex-Governor and Ex-Delegate to Congress R. c. Mccormick, now a
 prominent citizen of New York.
 was the founder. 1t had its birth
 in Chino valley, twenty-two miles
 north of Prescott, where the seat of
 the territorial government was first located.
 Judge Fleury tells many interest ing "reminiscences of its early history. Heya assistant secretary of the territ9Iy at the tune, but was pressed into service as roller boy. and so skiilfully was the work performed that it was several months before he was released from the position at each issue.
 The paper Is the oldest in the territory, and has been an import ant factor in aiding in the develop ment of the material resources of ArizonX. aad in recording its progress.
 The old Washington hand press, the first brought into the territory, but which has long since been su- perceded by the modern cylinder press driven by steam, is still valued adjunct of the office, not so much for the service it performs now, but for what it has been.
 The paper was first published as a semi-monthly, and later as a weekly, finally developing into a daily.
 Among the several owners of the paper that are now recalled and who have guided its deStinies in the various periods of its history, are  R. C. Mccormick, B. H. Weaver, J H. Marion General T. J. Butler, Charles W. Beach, $. N. Holmes, ". o. 0'Neill, the title being finally transferred to the present proprietor, as stated above, on Au- gust I5, 1885. Of these, R. C. Me Cormick lives in New York; B. H. Weaver, J. T. Butler and W. O. 0'Neill still reside in Prescott; Charles ". Beach was assassinated a few years ago; :. \. Holmes was burned to death in the Sherman House fire; J. H. Marion died sud denly two and a half years ago.
 This anniversary notice and brief reminiseence would not be complete were mention omitted of two of the trusted employees of the paper, Messrs. Orick Jackson and G. H. La Berteu. The former, who is now foreman, job printer and assistant editor. was initiated into the noble art of printing when a boy in the old MINER office. While he has at times from the office and has been employed on other pub he has always returned to his first love, and has for several years occupied bis present position.
 Mir. LaBerteu's first work in the territory was setting type on the MINER. and has ~held cases" with rery slight interruption, on it ever since.
 The JougNAL- MINER, on this, its lhirtieth birthday, sends greeting to Its friends, who have given it their support and who have contributed To its success, while it extends the olive branch of peace to its enemies.
