GOOD WORDS FOR ARIZONA.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean of Au- gust l2, contains a lengthy and very interesting interview with C. B. Scammell, of Prescott, in regard to the mining resources of this s. ction of Arizona. Mir. Scammell takes occasion to refute and brand as false the common report in the east, to the effect that Arizona is inhabi- ted by outlaws and brigands In speaking of our mines he becomes very enthusiastic and says:
 Arizona is rich territory, and has a mining interest second to none in the country. 1 really don't be- lieve there is as great a gold field in the world, aud | don't except Africa, where Paris capitalists have recently invested $63,0O0,000 in gold mnes.
 For some reason false impres- sions have been formed about the territory. and my loyalty to it makes me want to set right those who have gotten hold of these erroneous ideas. During the past few years there has been a large amount of Chicago and Eastern capital in- vested In Arizona, especially in the gold mining districts around Pres colt. When these districts which are not new, were spoken of it was said that they were of no depth. This IS also proven false by actual facts. Take, for instance the Con gress mine, which is owned by F. NJ. Murphy, brother of the Con gressman-elect from Arizona; F. B. Gage. a brother of the proprietor of the Wellington and others. This mine has a depth of nearly l.500 feet, aud is a good producer. One of the richest mines in the world is the United Verde, in Yavapai coun- ty. The Congress mine recently sold for a million and quarter dol lars. This mine shows conclusively that Arizona is a deep mining coun- try. Why, that mine works 300 men, with a pay roll of $25,0J0 per month, and easily nets S50,0OO month to the company.
 Over in the Chapsrral District, at depth of 500 feet, we find such mines as the Little Jessie, running from S2O0 to $500 per ton. This was opened by Hon J. s. Jones. The Cleveland and other smaller prop critics owned by men who have not the means to extensively develop the mines are making a good show ing. The output of gold for Ari- zona is increasing aud with the necessary capital Arizona will be the marvel of the age. The McCabe mine last year with a twenty-stsmp mill paid each of her four owners $2,0O0 per month and they are pre- pairing to triple this by the addition of machinery.

GETTING RErrER CITIZENS.

Citizenship Is becoming harder to obtain m New York, under a new law recently passed, and in conse- quence, that state is naturslizing fewer foreigners, but is getting a better class of foreign born citizens. To illustrate what difference has been made, it appears that the Court of Common Pleas has only natural ized l50 persons in two months, whereas 2O,OO0 were natuIalized in lSSS, and 42,0OO in 1868. The usual naturalization in presidential years has been from 5000 to l5,0O0
 A New York paper, speaking of the operation of the new law, says;
 "The new law requires that before an application for citizenship is acted upon by the court, a petition must be presented by the applicant. The petition sets forth certain facts connected with the applicants resi- donce and personal history, so that he can be readily identified. After this paper is filed, the county clerk prepares a statement setting forth the age, residence and other facts with the name of the applicant. A list of the applicants names, with the facts concerning them, which the law requires to be stated, is posted in some public place for a week. One of the lists appears upon the wall in the lower corridors of the court house. The Judge desig mates the day, at least fourteen days after the application is filed, in which it will be called up by the court. ThSse provisions necessitate great care upon the part of the ap- plicants and the officials, and, to- gether with the clause in the con- stitution requiring ninety days citi- zenship for a voter, they entirely change the system under which per sons are admitted to citizenship in this city,"
 "The effect of the more careful methods of examining those who desire to become citizens hs led to great change in the applicants themselves, and in the means which they adopt to secure admission to citizenship. They no longer seek the committee of some political party to secure the payment of their fees, as the state courts are now for bidden to receive fees from com mittees, and the United States Dis trict Court has voluntarily given up its dealings with the political com mittees. The applicant, instead provides himself with a copy of the Constitution, in English or some foreign language, and proceeds to study it. Regular summaries of the provisions of tho Constitution, with a series of questions upon them, are now printed in Italian and distrlb- uted through the Italian colony. Similar publications, it Is said, have been made in Hebrew and in the jargon" spoken on the East Side. Many of those who present them selves really show much acquaint- ance with political methods in this country. One of the questions which Judge Brown almost univer- sally asks IS, Are you an Anarchist or Nihilist!" or sometimes, in the case of an Italian, Are you a mem- Der of the Mafia2"

If there is any humor or point in the "Tonto Howler" department of the Phenix Riata, it has not made itself apparent to the editor of the JoURNAL-MNER. This attempt to be funny at the expense of the reputa- ton of the territory, with an array of six shooters and Winchesters forming a border to the alleged Howler, to say the least, is not cal culated to promote the interests of the territory, while the feeble at tempt to initiate the stale wit of NJ. Quad is not success. The Tonto Howler should be suppressed.

4 BuckIng Turro's Experience With Ills
 First Pack Load.
 George Conrad tells a wonderful story of the escape of a burro from instant death at the copper mine, near the Grand Canyon. This mine is reached by a trail cut through the sand stone from the bottom of the canyon, and MT. Conrad is pack ing ore over this trail to Aubrey valley. where it is hauled by wagon to Z .pai station. Last week Mr. Conrad took out several bronco burros, and one of the number was saddled up on the dump of the mine and two sacks of ore put on him. He went along quietly for short distance, when he became frightened, and tried to turn around on the trail. It was too narrow, and the poor brute went over and down a straight shoot of thirty-fye feet, landing on a ledge of rocks and bounding on again another thir- ty feet, striking another rocky ledge and on again to the bottom of the tduNOls q AOtdl htSNtuN Ol dbOAN OnC hundred feet. At the first ledge, the ore sacks burst open and the ore scattered to the winds. The specta- tors above looked down expecting to see the animal dashed to pieces, but what was their surprise to see him bound on to his feet in the bot tom of the canyon and race up and down seeking some place of egress. Tbe pack saddle had turned over, and the jack was soon fastened be- tween two boulders, where he was captured by some of the packers. He was taken up to the mine and carefully examined, but not a bruise could be found on him. The saddle was readjusted, a new load put on him, and the train moved valleyward as though nothing had happened Mohave Miner.

Burmese Girls.

In every household the daughtsz has
her appointed work. In all but the rich
er merchants houses the daughter S
duty is to bring the water from the we'll
evening and morning. 1t is the gossip
ing place of the village, this well, and
as the sun sets there come running down
all the girls of the village. AS they fill
their jars they lean over the curb and
talk, and it is here that are told the lat
est news, the latest Irritation, the latest
marriage, the little scandal of the place
Very few men come. Water carrying is
not their duty, and there is proper time
and place for filtration. So the girls
have the well almost to themselves.
Almost every girl will weave In ev-
cry house there will be loom, where
the girls weave their dresses and those
of their parents. And very many girls
will have stalls in the bazaar; but of
this will speak later. Other duties
are the husking of the rice and the max
ing Of cheroots- OF course in the richer
households there will be servants to do
all this, but even in them the daughter
will frequently weave, either for her
self or for her parents Almost every
girl will do something, if it be only to
pass the time. -Blackwood' s Magazine.

Does Hutchinson Salt XIII Cattle2

Neal A. Pickett Of Guelph is one OF
the closest observers in Sumner coun-
| ty. He has been watching the many
accounts Of cattle dying from the
alleged cause Of smut on the corn fod-
der; he has also been making some OBJ
servations In his own neighborhood.
In personal letter to the editor Of
the Mail he says:
"Some six years ago when shipping
stock to Kansas City was among
livestock feeders a great deal and
there was considerable complaint
among those Of them who used
Hutchinson salt. They complained
that their feeding steers died and my
recollection is that their symptoms
were very similar to the sO-called
cOrnstalk smut disease.
Upon inquiring l find that every
man who has lost cattle this fall had
been told to feed plenty Of salt and
had followed these directions. Wal
lace Wentworth lost seven head in
one day. Some one told him, when
he found them sick to give warm
salt water and he found that it took
it just ten minutes to kill them. L
have had forty-1ve head on stalks
since September 18th and have fed
out three stalk fields. At first my
stock had rock salt but for more than
a month have had no salt. My broth
er is a.so feeding on corn stalks; he
uses no salt at all and has not lost any
cattle.
81 believe thatif it should be tested
it would be found that Hutchinson
salt is injurious to livestock especially
il much of it is fed. My understand
ing from stock men is that the Hutch
inson people mine and then grind
their salt without evaporation and it
is supposed that some substance is
thus left In it that is injurious to live
stock.
"You might make some inquiry and
learn whether there is any founda-
tion for these ideas.'
We suggest that those who have

were adopted. The society meets
semi-monthly on Friday afternoon.
The next meeting was appointed for
Mrs. Buttrey's. Each member is to

the constitution prescribes the exact
