tempt made to reduce overland travel to

Gold Rock Found Near Tucson which

Mark Bradley, who is working the
Black Oak gold mine near Slate creek, is
reported TO have made one OF the biggest
and richest strikes in the above prop
erty that has taken place in recent years
in this section, says the Tucson Star. On
the surface the vein was but three inches
wide that gave only a $50 assay, but in
sinking the vein increased in size and
richness until 20 feet in depth was
reached, when the pay streak showed
four feet of solid ore that will run be-
tween $50 and $40 per ton free. j. w.
Wilson and J. l. Gardiner OF this city
are interested in the property. The
usual exodus OF miners from neighbor-
ing camps has taken place to the new
find. Everyone who has seen the mine
unhesitstingly pronounoes 1t the biggest
find yet to be chronicled. The ore is
silicious in it's character. and 1t is con-
sidered what miners would term q very
pretty vein. Every available foot OF

THE constitutional convention OF the
state Of New York, now engaged in re-
viaing the Fundamentally law of that etate,
adopted, by vote OF 96 to A, 8 section
forbidding state officers to accept free
passes from any railway or steamboat
corporation. The occasion was one that
gave those who wanted to ride free q
great chance to display their humor.
One delegate wanted to amend the reso-
luton go that it should prohibit treating
and to impose a fine upon any man who
had been treated to drink and con-
fesssd the fact. Another man thought
that portion of the law which deprived
officers of their Office for accepting
pseses, should be stricken ont, and
moved to insert that they should be
compelled to walk ior the rest of their
lives. Another delegate said it was a
case of sorehesdedness and that the
author had either teen refused pass or
put off train for refusing to pay his
fare. He thought the constitution
should be amended 80 as to compel the
railroads to carry state officers free of
charge. But despite ell the fun poked
at the new amendment. it passed by a
two.to.one vote and is now part OF the
organic law of the Empire state.

A Scheme to Reclaim Much Land Near
Yum7.
There is approximately so square
miles of land oyerhowed annually by the
Colorado river, between the town OF
Yuma and the Sonora line. A good
substantial levee starting from near the
town of Yuma and running to the Mex
lean line and there connecting with the
higher land, would reclaim q very val
u&ble tract, says the Yuma Times.
This land is subject to an overflow on
an average OF about three or four feet
deep for about two months each year.
With the levee then it might be settled
and the eettlers live on their tracts the
year round. and not be compelled to
move by the floods; and then the
foods would not kill fruit trees. etc.. or

probably various if not most all kinds OF

THE statutes governing the manage
ment OF all vessels propelled by steam,
require that all applicants for masters
certificates ahall be examined for color
blindness. This amendment to the
steam boat laws went into effect early in
1881. but no correlevant statute has been
passed with regard to the engineers on
our railways. If anything, the question
OF color blindness should have been
mooted on the railways before it WAS on
steam boats, because they accomplish
more night travel and at much higher
rate OF speed. The best authorities on
ocular defects agree that one man in
every 25 ia color blind, and that he is
born so and therefore incurable. Some
of the roads have Regular monthly ex-
eminstions for this purpose. and other
roads there be which do not. Such man
ayers deliberately assume risk to life
and property that is fearful to contem-
Rlate.
