The Arizona sentinel., 1894-04-07

l ne court mousse IS a OISgI aCo 'O e@HJ NO'N"J and unless Yuma can show up greater de- gree of poverty than we suspect she has we are at a loss to know why this charge should remain against her good name another year.
 Gandolfo & Sanguinetti are possessed of brick building and warehouse which would adorn Chicago or Boston. The half hour we spent there caused us to believe that we were in the boss establishment of city of 100000 inhabitants. This firm does big business. They are enterprising and deserve the success which is theirs. One difference we noted as between their store ill Yuma and their store here. We strolled in twice during our stay in Yuma and cigar was handed to us each time Likewise we were requested to ''join'' in mission to quench thirst each time. We stroll into their store here a dozen times every day in the year and we don't know yet whether it contains either cigars or mis- sion material, although we have heard that it does. We have never posed as a prophet before Alex but he must look upon us as one and therefore fails to recognize us.
 Dr. Cotter is the physician of southwest ern Arizona. His new, large, commodious brick with all the modern improvements, is monument to his skill as medical and surgical man, and a credit to him as demon strating the fact that he possesses practical ideas of business in no small degree, A model drugstore on the corner in front with regular city offices of doctor in the rear, constitude a prescription in them selves
 Walking through the principal portions of the town we notice that brick buildings predominate, all of them, whether large or small, presenting neat, and city like ap- pearance.
 Every body knows Sam Gillespie. Sam who keeps the hotel. We had never seen him before but we knew him the first shot, and almost called him Sam before being introduced. We'll, he keeps frst-class l IlOl6ly dllNl sSlNCu uP SOON o1ueNi ' meals last Monday, whatever he may have done in that line since. Mo- sir, we didn't play the newspaper racket on hin. We paid our hard.t get for each and every meal, and he probably hasn't learned yet that the fellow who ate the most at his table last Monday was newspaper man.
 Jack Taylor, ''big hearted Jack," once conductor on the S. P, R. R. now sole own . CT of the road but still taking up tickets along the line just as a pastime, took us in tow for little while, and, after many windings through narrow and dangerous gorges and passes, landed us in the cabin of the Examiner This boat, schooner. vessel, or yacht, whatever they intend tC call it, was built right there in the ship yard, and is intended for Robinson s alleged trip of peril down or up the Colorado on a prospecting, or sort of north-pole discovery expedition, all in the interest of the San Francisco Examiner, 50 i t is said by Rob, inson or somebody else. We didn't say anything but we thoughts heap as the bo- sens mate showed us compasses, sun-read CTS, trigonometers, highlowgrometers and 8 lot of other nautical stuff. and we came away from the craft with an idea in our mind which he trust time may dispel. Il was and is that if we wished to smuggle or good sized scale in a small stream, we should build boat just like that. Judge c. NJ. Wright and Atty General Heney. both of Tucson where they no doubt obtain. ed all their knowledge of S hips and naviga tion visited the ''Exanine r. later in the day. and told us that they believed she wa; cut out for a smuggler.
 Up on the hill, delightfully."- situated stands the penitentiary. Superintendent Gates did the honors and we were giver the keys to the city where fiber ty is not We have been through number of public institutions of this kind, in a number oi states, and without hesitation or fear o1 contradiction pronounce this the cleanest best kept and most orderly penitentiary we have ever visited There is a degree of liberty granted the prisoners which al first surprised us, but when Mir. Gates gave us the benefit of his policy that sur prise made way for endorsement, and, if for no other reason, we there and then voted that Mir. Gates was the proper man for the position he fills so well, and in the conduct of which he is winning golder opinions from every source.
 The prisoners, with one exception, ap peared to us to be cheerful and reasonably happy. They looked sleek, well fed anC contented The exception we note wal Pete Spence, who our citizens will remem Der as having been recently sentenced tc five years for shootiSga sleeping Mexican at the South Gila dam last fall. The guard informed us that Pete was failing every day, not from disease, but from the fact that his spirit was broken, and his "sand' had entirely left him.
