SENSATION AT ISHPEMiNC
ID composed BODY of "a Child Found In
an Attic,

ID composed body of a Child Found In
Quite a sensation developed in Ishpem-
ing Tuesday when the body OF Adolph
Lafrenier's 5-year-od daughter, who
disappeared very mysteriously on the
evening of June "a, was discovered IN
the garret of Mrs. G. l.. WendeFs resi-
dence, within half block of the child's
home. The night the girl disappeared
she was last seen at Wendel's, and all
parts of the house, were thoroughly
searched at the time.
All hope of her recovery had been
given up when on Sunday last Mrs, La
frenier was directed by Mrs. Wendell to
20 into the garret 20 procure some car
pet rags. While looking thro Ugh the
rags she found the child's shoes aud
cap. Being satisfied that this was clue
to the mystery, the woman Informed the
police authorities Of the affair.
In searching the garret Tuesday Dcpu-
ty Marshal Nolan found the body lying
concealed back of the chimney. The
body was decemposed beyond recogni-
tion, but the clothing the child wore was
identified by her mother. The physi-
clans who examined the body report that
the skull was fractured and blood
stains were on the clothing. A portion
of the garments were partially removed
and were somewhat torn. 1t is generally
believed that the child was murdered,
but no clues have as vet been obtained.
There are several officers working on
the case, and 1t Is thought there will he

WALKING AROUND THE WORLD.
William John ThaIer, of Montreal, Has
Undertaken Seven Years Jsb.

Undertaken n Seven Years Jsb.
Thursday evening William John
Thaler, of Montreal, arrived in this city,
having walked from Ishpeming that day.
On the thirteenth day of last May Mr..
Thaler left Montreal on a rather novel
(and decidedly tiresome) trip, to walk
around the world. He had prepared an
accurate outline OF the long journey,
and the names OF the places he proposes
to visit, but has become SO familiar with
the details that he does not have to even
look at the little book which is safely
secreted In his inside vest pocket.
When seen by The SENTINEL scribe
yesterday morning John had just
emerged from the court house where he
had 'registered" with the county clerk,
A custom which he strictly adheres 10,
mot necessarily for publication. but as
a matter of good faith.n In fact. the
registering business is his credentials,
which he shows. thus proving that he
has actually visited places claimed. and
not Jumped fences or cut across lots"
John is about 35 or 40 years OF age. tall
aud slim. speaks four different Ian
guages. is a decidedly jolly fellow. and
seems TO be deliRhted that he is on a
journey covering So. 600 miles and which
Will require seven years lively walking
to cover.
Each Sunday he devotes his time to
writing events of the week. ana when
his arduous task is completed he pro-
poses to write book. and thus win fame
aud fortune.

Live Stock Report.

The report of the live stock sanitary
 commission and of Territorial Veterin.
 ary Surgeon Norton have been com pleted.
 During 1893. 1926 head of cattle
 were inspected on shipment from the territory; during 1894 the numhe, reached S9, 107. The cost of all the services of veterinary surgeons and board for the past two years reached 5,0se,67, being S3,600 less than dur. ing the previous two years.
 Glandcrs has been more prevalent during 1891 than ever before. The disease was imported into the vicinity If Mesa in horses owned by John Bark ley. Of fnrtv-four animals. three were destroyed by the owner and eleven by the commission. The remaining ami ma's were then tested for disease by the Mallien test, with the result that four. teen more were found to be affected and wcra killed and the earcasses burnt. Barkley's ranch was rented, doubll .rire placed around it and it has since been held a" quarantine farm. Suh- scqusntly 43S suspected cases have been examined by the veterinary surgeon, with the result that forty.five have been found infected and have been destroyed with the ready consent of the owners. Many of these cases were from direct infection from the herd.
 Hog cholera has not been found, though one instance of milder dis ease, swine plague, is noted, several hogs imported from Illinois dying withlu few days of their arrival.

CONVINCED that the time has come when CoeoniaO county, her matchless climate. rich soil, large agricultural. grazing and mineral resources and her charming scenery should be brought prominently fO public notice. We have determined to issue a special edition of TIE SUN for general aistIi button in the east and in Europe. pro. Viding sufficient money can be raised to meet the expense such A work will involve. This edition will no doubt attract capital and population and so enlarge our productions, increase every branch of trade and double all values many fold. Our valleys produce as large Iariety and as valuable crops as California. our climate is better, and our scenery excels. With capital and industry to develop our manifold resources, Coconino will take fir { ra ,S
 in all the Pacific coast. But this can only be accomplished by the proper effort-not by folding our arms and waiting. We must march out and tsisA the tide while it is Lowing.

l Now In Session.
 The 18th Arizona legislature has it. nose down to the grindstone, and thD lobbyists are getting their throats in z state of fabrication. Hon. A. J. Doran. at the first session last Monday, was elected president of the council, and Charles F. Hoff, one of Tucson's most prominent merchants. will be the chief clerk.
 Harry Carpenter, of Yuma county, was elected speaker of the house, and 1 Charles D. Reppy, . welI-known news, paper Wap, got the chief c!erkship plum.
 Minor elections were as follows; Enrolling and expressing cierk. 4. R Edwards; sergeant at-arms J. Frazier: watchman. Frank Martinez; paga, c N. Williams.
 This promises to be a long and hig . ly interesting session. one which will result in much good and valuable work being dope. Many new bills will be introduced and amendments galore of fered to old ones.
 It is likely that there will be hot fight over the segregation of Pima and Cochise counties. especially the first named county.
 An effort will, without doubt, be made to secure the repeal of the mer- chants license law.
 Eddie Babbitt. having been delayed at Prescott, and J. s. Jones, of Yava- pal, had not arrived in time for the 6rst session.

THE VERDE MINES.
Excellent Opportunities for the Safe
 Investment of Capital.

| Excellent Opportunities Tor the Sai
 Investment of Capital.
 Mining has been carried on in th' Verde and Bradshaw mountains, Ari zona, for about quarter of a century and although many fortunes have beer amassed there during that time it l. yet an undeveloped region. Particular mines have been developed but there are scores of others still awaiting en terprisc and capital to demonstrate their value, and that is the true rOat to wealth in mining. Purchase goof prospects and open and work them fol what they will yield. The outcrop pings of what is now the Jerome m'ne were as well known to all the pros pectors and miners of the Verde range, for years, as the range itself Ulti' mately the claim was located and as much work done on it as the To- cators were able to make. But nc man wanted to buy the prospect. Everybody wants a developed mine. The property changed ownership many | times, at the merest nominal figures, from one poor man to another, until al last it fell into the hands of a man who knew his business and had the neces. sary backing. He developed the prop. erty and erected approved machinery and went to work taking out the bull. ion. Since that time ths mine has produced double the purchase price, including the cost of development and machinery, and there is now estimated to be $20. 1000, 900 worth of ore in sight. The real value of the mine is beyond computation. It is not for sale at any price. This is the result of buying a mining prospect and Ge ;eloping it. It runs into millions.
 The Peck mine. now owned by some New Workers, is another illustration of the same principle. It was pros pect for long time before capitalists were found to buy and develop it. But since that time it has given its owners sl,S00,000 and it's value can scarcely be estimated.
 The Grown King is another illustra. ton. The Tiger mlne is another. The Black Warrior is another, and the Boggs mine another, and there are scores of others that could be men, toned.
 The Verde range, for fifty miles south from the upper box canyon, is an almost unbroken line of mineral bearing quartz. Some of the claims are enormously rich. During recent trip there the writep saw several groups of mines, or rather prospects, that with development and machinery would equal any paying mine on the Pacific slope and in face of the many striking illustrations, proving the wis dom of buying good mining prospects and developing them into bonanzas. it is astonishing that some of those choice locations have not been bought and utilized on business principles. Parties with money seeking safe and lucrative investment cannot do better than to purchase a good Verde pros- peet and develop it into rich paying mine. In the Cherry creek district there are some particularly promising prospects that are owned by poor men who are unable to work them. In the hands of able parties they could be made to rank as first class mines

It is the general opinion throughout the territory that the disagreement ef the jury in the Tewksbury case will end further trial.
 The staid and peaceable community of Tempe was mortified at the news of a double tragedy there last week While suffering from an overdose of Arizona whisky w. C. Bascom shot out the eyes of Hardy Atkinson. Bascom. armed with Winchester. had taken to the roof of \ hotel to fight imagin- ary foes. and Atkinson, who was an ac- quaintance of the maniac, bravely mounted the stairway leading to the roof. When his head appeared within range, Bascom fired and Atkinson fell to the ground with bullet in the tenn pie that destroyed the sight of both eyes. Then the militia was called ont and the insane man was brought down with volley of bullets that termina- ted a career of dissipation. Bascom's life has been ruined by drink. His grief over the death of his wife was so deep that he eventually succeeded in drowning his sorrow in the cup that sometimes maddens as we'll as cheers. Atkinson is in critical condition.

THURSDAY. JANUARY 24, 1895.
IRRIGATION.

Recourse to the artificial application of water to arid land dates back to pre- historic times, and wherever practiced the results have more than compensa- ted for the money and labor invested. This compensation comes from the in creased value of the land, the quantity and quality of the crops produced and the annual revenue therefrom.
 In looking over the official report of McMortimer, British vice copsul at Los Angeles for 1890, we find him saying that "sn inch of water, miners meas urcment, will irrigate from five to eight acres according to the nature of the soil and is worth from El00 to E300," and that other lands worth, when dry, from f2 to f3 an acre, will produce enough to pay interest on f40 or f50 RI acre. Experience in all the western states and territories for the past quarter of century rroves Me Mortimer's position to he correct. Ar gument or illustration is scarcely nec- essary where examples are all around in proof and no man will dispute them. Flagstaff has some lands near oy that produce good crops every year withou, irrigation but the quantity is limited in comparison 10 the large amount that they would produce with irriga- ton.
 The question of irrigating the Verde valley is one of keen interest to all our citizens and it has long been a subject of earnest consideration by all who have the growth and prosperity of Co. conino and Flagstaff at heart. In fact it is an absolute necessity. We can't prosper without it. But with it every commercial. business and prop erty interest of Flagstaff will be in- creased, as experience teaches. from fifty to an hundredfold.
 The irrigation of the Verde valley means the construction of a railroad from Flagstaff to Camp Verde, and the control of the Tonto Basin, agricultur- al and mineral; and the extension of the Toad north to the great coal fields and south to Phoenix means the devel- opment of enormous latent resources agricultural, horticultural, viticultur- al, grazing and mining, and in ad dition large increase in passenger traffic to and from the Grand Canyon, the Montezuma We'll. the Great Cave, the ancient ruins and other local re- sorts of interest. And it means the establishment of mills, factories. foun dries and machine shops and the build ing of Flagstaff up to the proportions of large inland city. The enier- prise is one of some magnitude, yet it is small in comparison with many that have been undertaken under infinitely less favorable circumstances and car ried to speedy success. This is an age of great undertakings. of great suc- cesses, and thcre is an abundance of money for every undertaking when it can be demonstrated that the enter prise stands on solid, meritorious and the revenue to be de- rived from the work will justify the ex- penditure.

THE terrible fatality reported from Butte, Mont, teaches lesson that should be needed by every town that has been in the habit of allowing ex- plosives to be stored within the corpo- rate limits. The lOoal officials should look to it that the habit is not persist ed in in Flagstaff. The law in this expect, as in all others. should be rigidly enforced.
