The story Is now being told that # was
Judge Caldwell who pulled the strings which
secured tho rejection OF Wheeler II. Peckham
for Supreme Court Justice by the United
States senate. 1t will be remembered that
when Caldwell at Little Rock appointed re-
ceivcrs for The Atchison, Topeka X santa tc
railway company there was great objection
raised to that appointment by the Union
Trust Company Of New York, one Of the
principal creditors OF that railway company.
Mr. PUekham, rs attorney for This trust COM
pany, sent a brief aud insulting telegram TO
Judge Caldwell, declaring that his company
would not recognize that appointment, Cald-
well made no reply, but When Peckham's
nomination was sent To the Senate by the
President It Is said that Judge Caldwell sim
ply sent the telegram to an influential senator
With whom he was acquainted and II was the
circulation Of this telegram which changed
so many votes. The opinion Of those who

The Prison Farm,

Through the courtesy Of Assistant Superintendent shaw, an inspection was made this morning of the prison farm which is being opened up near town. The location IS in the tongue of land between the Colorado and Gila rivers sDd opposite the prison. A rope ferry crosses the latter stream. Yardmaeter w. H. Moore has had charge of about 20 meE for two weeks and in that length of tune ovrr 20 acres of land have b-en cleared of a dense growth If brush. This will be burned, afte- which plow- ing will commence. Very little level- ing ls needed, and 30 acres will be pre- pared for cultivation this seasor. Ore acre has already been leveled and fenc ed and planted to variety of vegetabls. A pump has been rigged at a cost of three dollars to raise Water from the Colorado for irrigation. The land has not overf1owed iu the past two years, and levee three feet high will protect the land from high water. The soil is of the richest and will raise anything with very light irrigation. Besides vege- tables the crop.this year will consist of barley, beans, pumpkins, melons, pota- toes aud corn. Several aSres will be sown to alfalfa.-Yum6 Times.

GENUINE AMERICAN TIN.
A Property Found Carrying Tin in
 Paying Quantities

Arizona is to the fore with a new kind of mine. We have here gold mines, silver and copper and lead ga lore, thousands of them, but the first tin mine, or tn property rather, for Ii has not beer worked any yet, has just been discovered. The prospector who found Is Gap Jones. He has secured the mountains for the past twenty years and the present find is his best.
 The mine is located up the Colora6o river 125 miles from Yuma and fifteen miles from ths river. It Is called the Tin Cup, but the CITIZEN suggests that it be called the Mckinley. The ore is of a greyish black resembling galens, but old prospectOrs would never call r galena eamE Is was sent to Phoenix for assay, and the Gssayer pronounced it unmistakable tin, running about forty per cent of that va uabis metal. The assayer rather stunned the owner, but he is complacent over it. He sent samples to Assayers Price of San Frao- cisco and BurlIngame of Denver. A Yuma sssayer also pronounced it tin without doubt.
 Forty per cent tin is of course impos- sible. The sample went forty per cent but It Bs prospector's sample. How ever, 1t IS seriously declared that it will go ten per cent tin, which must be a good thing. Copper properties runnir g ten per cent pay to work, so tin mine of such yield must be B bonanza oi bonGnzas. The Temescal tin mines run 15 per cert.
 The ore lies in a bed apparently oi several hundred acres, and appears to have slid down mountain. It IS mixed with red and yellow oxides, and IS coy- cred with lay CTS of quartz and talque Mir. Jones is now in Yuma awaiting re turns from the assays sent to San Fran cisco and Denver.
 This tn mine is strictly republican institution. The present tariff bill offers no particular encouragement to Ameri can tin plate, making rate that lets iu the article from Wales at figures ex cludiug the home article. All the tir mines of note, mt least so far as this country is concerned, are in Wales Perhaps. however, Arizona may furnish one, and perhaps another republican congress with Mckinley for president may do something for American tin.
