 In the death of old Eskiminzin at
 San Carlos, says the Citizen, Arizona is rid of 2 bloody monster that was long conspicuous Tn Arizona history. For years he lived in a rancheria on tho San Pedro, and was believed to bo friendly to the whites, but in the end the exposure came, and tO save him self from the wrath Of injured settlers, he was compelled to fee to San Car los with his entire outfit and has re- mained under military protection ever sInce. Prior to his settlement on the San Pedro he was a bold and bloody leader in Indian forays and has to his credit as many murders as any Indian living. He was large Of frame and powerful of build. He at one time killed man by the name Of and he killed him because he was his friend. He justified his action by saying that any coward could kill an enemy, but that it took 6 brave man to kill his friend. But the old devil bas gone at last. and good rid dance to him and his kind.

IT is encouraging to note the activ- ity of European bimetalists. A hope ful spirit was shown at the conference of the Bimetslic Leagues of Great Britain, France and Germany, which convened at Paris on the 10th inst The delegates were received by NJ. Faure, President of the republic, who testified to hIs interest in the work Of the league. M. Loubt, president Of the French League. stated at the re- ception that the delegates were con- pletely agreed upon the programme to follow in order to transfer the ques- tion Of international bimetallism into actual practice. M. Doumer, French Minister of Finance, said that the gov- ernment could but regard fsvorably a campaign undertaken with . view to check the effects Of @ crieis which mo- body thinks of denying, as all were agreed upon the gravity of the evil. It is apparent that the French officials spoke without having consulted the lone fsherman, who is chief executive of tte greatest silver-producing coun- tr, on the globe, or his cuckoo secre- cary, both of whom would regard such expressions as the rsnkest of heresy. -EY

Chrisausas Eye at the Churc h.

Christmas, with all is charms. has again come and gone, sld the children have been made happy by the coming of theIr annual festivities. At the Methodist church a handsome tree had been prepared and loaded down with sweet meats for the htile ones, and many of the older children was not forgotten.
 At1 o'clock the doors of the church were opened and the children, accom- panied by their parents, began filins in until about s when the rendition of the literary and musical part of the evenings programme began with n song by the choir, which was followed in rapid succession with recita,ions sni songs b. the children of theSunday school until q very select and lengthy programme had been completed.
 At this iuncture a dispatch from santa Claus was received announcing his approach, after which sorg by the choir was sung, and at it's close A rustling was heard at the dood and in a moment Of hushed silence Old Santa, in all his mythical majesty. came stirling in and marched straight down the aisle to the altar, and after a hearty hand--hake with the children faced the audience and announced that his journey had been long and tedious one" and that he was pretty well tired out, stil! it gave hIm great pleasure tO be able to reach Tombstone at all, and that the many brigh. eyes and happy faces which beamed thelr welcome upon him more than repaid him for his wesri-ome trip" The dis tribuiion of presents now began. some handsome tokens being passed to many, while every child received a bag Of nuts and candy, with an orange thrown in for good measure.
 The Christmas tree having been unburdened of its load of sweets, the people began 10 disperse, and soon the sacred edlfce was rapped in darkness and silence. while the happy children who filled it but moment before dreamed sweelly of :he morrow.
 And thus the most joyous Christ mas tides ever experienced in Tomb stone passed away, and now the little folks are living in blissful anticipation of the coming Of the New Year.

A vegetarian editor advances the

A vegetarian editor advances the following:
 The average of beef is estimated to contain tbiriy-fve per cent. of solid food, so one pound will give 5.60 ounces. Milk has thirteen per cent. of solid food. and a- quart weighs PIP pound, this will contain i Il ounces. Three pin,s of milk will supply 66l ounces of solid food. which is one ounce more than is in Q pound of beer. At g cents a quart three pints O! milk will cost twelve cents, and is cheaper than beef at twelve cents pound. As pure milk contains all the elements of food in a soluble form, and these are almost the same ss those found in meat and are more easily diges,ed, it will be seen that milk is cheaper and bett-r article of diet than meat, and should be used nor freely.

An ald timer tells the following Imaginable story: Il heard story once about young man, a tenderfoof, who after long wondering what made the beef in Arizona so fearfuliy tough, at length arrived at the solution, as he thought, and that quite by accident. He was riding out with friend, an old resident, when they chanced to come upon bunch oi cattle. The young man seemed to be studying over something, and finally he pointed to an animal which bore the brand B. c. 45.' Look at thatT he exclaimed. How can you expect those antediluvi- ans to be anything bu. tough? Why don't you kill your Cattle before they get to be two or three times as old as Methuselah?"-Ex.

INTERESTING STATISTICS.

The report of Hamilton Smith on the Auaconda Copper Mining com pany, made to the Exploration com. pany, limited, of London, is published by the Engineering and Mining Jour- nal. The uost important mines Of this company are the Anaconds, com pris;ug three mines. and the Syndicate Group of five mines. These mines have been developed to depth Of 1900 feet, and since 1880, when work was commenced, have produced ore yield pg nearly 100000 tons Of fine cop per, together with large amount Of silver and gold. The reserves ci ore in sight in the two groups are esti- mated by Mir. Hague. expert, at 3.OOO.- 900 tone. The extent Of mining ground known to be productive is 20 great ss to indicate long life for :he property. MT. Smith says the mines can easily supply ore which will yield 5000 tons of fine copper per month.
 The average of the Anaconda ore during the first six months Of the cur rent year was over 6.75 per cent cop- per and 6.5 ounces silver to the ton, and the gold in six months amounted to about F 900 ounces fine.

 NO EXEMPTION WANTED.
 A report was published several days ago ID @ California paper that parties interested in mining deals were claim ing that they had a pull with certain senators and representatives 10 such an extent that they could have law passed eIempting all work on theIr claims for this year. The genuine prospec.ors are very much opposed to opposed to having the assessment work done away with. as they claim it re- tsrds the development of the various mines and camps. It is the opinion of many mining men that this propo- sition is 6 scheme on the part of cer- jain snide mining speculators for their own benefit, it being supposed that these men are too lazy or do not care to put in a lew dollars on the claims which they are holding for speculation. The prospectors Of Southern Arizona and Mexico have had enough of tni. sort of speculation, and bogas prom i.es, and hope most sincerely that n" such law will ever bs passed for the
