ENTERTAINMENTS REPORT.
 Territorial Prison, Yuma, A. T.) Office of the Superintendent, 3 Yuma, March 31, 1895.) To the Honorable Board of Control
 Gentlemen:-I have the honor to hand you herein, my report as Superintendent of the Territorial Prison for the quarter ending March 31st, 1895.
 At the close of last quarter, December 31st, 1894, there were in confinement one hundred and elghty-one ISL male and one CD female prisoners; there were re- ceived during this quarter eight. Seven by commitment from the Territorial courts and one by re- turn from the Insane asylum, making the total number in con- fnement one hundred and ninety (190); during the same period thirty-two (32) prisoners were dis charged, as follows:
 Internationally pardoned, 5; par doned to restore citizenship, II; by expiration of sentence, 12; by by order of Supreme Court order ing discharge, 1; by order of Supreme Court granting new trial, 1; by escape, 1; by death, 1. Total 32. There are now in confinement, March 31st, 1895, one hundred and fifty-eight (158l male prisoners.
 EXPENSE.
 The gross total of expenditures for the quarter was $11,193.72, The average attendance of prison CTS for the same period, $171; the gross per diem expense $I24.374; and the gross per capita per diem .72733.
 As credits against the above ex- pense, are the following amounts:
 Due from United States for maintenance of U. s. prisoners during the quarter ending, March 31st, 1895, .$169 "A Proceeds of sale of hogs. -. 20 S5 Proceeds of sale of gravel. 6 % Proceeds of sale of con-
 demned property ...... 17 75 Discounts on sale of prison
 CTS manufactures .. 53 49
 Total -. ....... $267 o3
 The total of these amounts de- ducted from the gross expenditures, leaving the net total of expendl- lures $1O,925 89; the net per diem expense $121 398; and the net per capita per diem .7O993.
 From these figures it will be seen that a very material reduction has been effected in both the gross and net expenses of the prison.
 This saving has been accomplish ed simply by strict attention and close supervision in the matters of purchasing and disbursing and considering the fact that the re- venue from all sources, has fallen far below what it formerly was, the result is certainly gratifying.
 The decrease of prison revenue above referred to, was occasioned by the loss of earnings hitherto accruing from maintenance of U. s. prisoners, there having been during the quarter but two such prisoners in confinement and by the discharge of one of them, the number has nov been reduced to one.
 1 deem the occasion proper to call to your attention the fact of there having been effected during the past two years what practically amounts to a net gain to the Ter ritory of BPS, ,518.86, as will appear from the following figures; during the two years 1893-94 there was effected in the gross prison expense, a reduction from a corresponding expense of the two preceding years 1891-92 of $11,631.63; during the past year, there was accured from the United States for the mainte- nance of Indian prisoners at this institution, the net sum Of $16,886.. 93 these two amounts make total
