AHard Working Prospector.

George Hawlin, of the Relief mine, is in town. He says things are looking away up on his property. On being ask ed how much work he had done, he said "Work is little slow, which of neces- slty it must be when have only an 'arm strong hoist to pull dirt out of hole 1S0 feet deep. The fact of tte matter is I have done a whole lot of work which 1 will tell you all about if you will just wait. You see on the Venus, which is westerly of the Relief. at a point about 200 feet from the center, there is shaft twenty feet deep with 320 ore. Three hundred feet from there is 112 foot shaft of SIP ore. Five hun dred feet further, 20 foot shaft with a streak of $50 rock. Thirty feet from that is the Relief, where there is IT foot shaft with Sl7 ore. Twenty feet north of that is hole 10 feet deep that has 560 ore in it. One hundred feet east of that IS a 10 foot shaft with S7 ore One hundred feet from that is a 9 foot shaft, Sl0 ore, Easterly 100 feet, 20 foot shaft, Sl0 ore. Sixty feet eaeterly is the lS0 shaft, which has a 20 inch vein of SIG rOck. Further easterly, on the Re- lief No. ,, l have three feet of BIO ore on the surface. Now, that is all there IS to it. and if you don't believe it Just come ont and we will prove it. But for Gods sake don't say that 1 have got a b0nanza." a."-Pheonix Herald.

A Real Snake Story.

A. E. Sampson is not afraid of snakes; in fact he rather likes to hear of them at long distances, but broadly and fiatly repudi6tes the home production. This was demonstrated in his recent trip to the mouotaIrs, where he killed rattle snake for presumiug on 8 too close scquaintanceship. The house in which
 Mir. Sampson was sleeping is reached by flight of four steps and contains several rooms, one of which was occu- pied by Mir. Sampson and another by his partner, Mir. Chas. Bent.
 Shortly before daylight the other morning the latter gentleman was awak- ened by rattleenake serenade which was beiGg given in honor Uf Mr. Samp- SOB. He awoke Sampson, who then re- aliZed that q raitlesnake vas doing the handsome not more than a few inches from the bead of his bed and within striking distance For a time be did not dare move, as his visitor was be- tween him and the door. Mir. Bent, however, shortly appeared with & light and the life of the rattler went with the report of shotgun which stood con- veniently near.
 The reptile was about i've feet long, ana less than foot thick, although for a while it looked bigger than the sea serpent lately seen by the Young Mems Christian association iu Oregon. It was well rattled and vicious Gs such
 brutes generally are when at dinner. Near the bcdy of the snake wRs found large house rat in semi dsZed condition. It could rot run but permitted itselt to be pushed about with stick. It had
 certainly been hypnotized and was most probably intended as breakfast for the
 rattler. Preparations for the meal had evidently heen made in silence and it was not until Mir. Sampson moved in
 his bed that the snake was aroussd to anger and began to rattle. Th's he kept up without cessation till killed. People who are given 10 overmuch doubtiHg can be shown the hole in the foor out of which the snake crawled, and the steps up which the rat had the evening before been seen to climb to his doom.

EVIDENTLY TRUE.

The Rocky Mountain News, publish. ed at Denver, Col, 8 democratic news paper of undOubted influence, has the following statement to make of Brice
 and Cleveland:
 Tke report that came from Washing
 ton that Senator Brice and President
 Cleveland have entered into an offensive and defensive alliance is undou btedly
 true. With the Ohio democracy in his
 vest pocket, Bsice becomes man whom
 the administration cannot afford to lg-
 nore. On the other hand, the Ohio sen-
 ator needs the influence of presidential
 patronage in his own behalf, ond hence
 6 compact between the two was the most natural thing in the world.
 It will be observed tlat th;s rnbina-
 ton IS in the interest of "sound
 money" The two men had differences
 over the tariff, and fNr long time the president felt sore over the actions ofthe Ohio senator. But the the tariff ques- tion s disposed of until after another presidential election at least. and the presidents sole am bition now 1t to fast en the chain cf the gold standard on the treasury and tte country, in this obje ct he will fi1i Rn able and willing assistant in the person of this million aire senator, who fully sympathizes with the presidents purpose and at the same time will advance his own political fortunes by becoming factotum in chief for the administration in it's crusade against the money Of the constitution.
 Attention need hardly be called to the fact that all of the presidents chosen ard favorite lienteu8nts are men Of extreme wealth, with Rristocratlc pre- uud no sympathy with the aud producing classes. The fact indicates the nature of the struggle. 1 It is the millionaires against the mill ions, as au Ono delegate ssid, pointing l bis finger at Senator Brice. The mill- ! o1aires have heretofore won because they were united. they will continue to win until the millions adopt the tactics l ,f their opponents, anc present united 1 md solid phRlRnx at the ballot box Tn avor of a restoration of silver to the i coinage.

HILL AND CAMPBELL.

Ex-Governor CGmpbsil of Oaio heroic ally follows Senator Hlfs example in accepting nomination which carries ID chance of an election. Senator Hill, who had an unbrcken record Of sue cesses, yielded 10 the demand Of the democracy ot his stale that he lead them In the hour of defeat as well as Of vic tory. lie would much rather that some aspirapt of less political importance would have volunteered to lead f,rlo1r hope but the party did not want a new leader just then. Hill had bis eye on the presidency and he believed that 8 display of the white feather would be fatal to presidential aspirations. He does not expect nomination next yesr but he doubtless considers his chances as good as those of any mar west of New York. He will make a vigorous cam paign, not with any hope of election but with 8 hope to greatly reduce the republican majority Of lest year.-S. F Bulletin.

As GOES Ohio in ,95 so vii, the cour- tIy go n '96. God end thoughtful dem ocrat5 everywhere are wiling to sub- init the presidential contest to the GTbi- trament of the people Of Ohio this fail. Star.
 Divine philosophy. The good book IS not Tn it, but unless reports belle then the Ohio democracy pumped their tires too tight when tkey nominated New York gold bug for governor. The rich of Wall street are the money lenders of the country and favor monometaliism but the poor want cheap clothing and cheap food, consequently favor parity of the two money mstsls, anu without this parity it will take more than Peter or a John to heal the situation. But so lolg as our worthy contemporary holds office gold bugs have brother bones in AIiZ1na.

Calls Her Coconino.

There was considerable commotion at the depot last Monday evening when the train arrived from the east. Dr. D. J. Brannen was hastily called from his boudoir to tourists car, where he found summons of great plth and moment. Between trains that are supposed to meet here at the same time he officisted at the birth of little one who is now sestling at it's mothers breast in Flag staff. The mother is Mrs. Hayes, who was ticketed to San Francisco, where she intended to visit relatives.
 The uItoWard circumstances Tn the lady's career necessitated her transport ation to a hotel upon stretcher and tho amiable doctor brought up the rear with the precious burden in his arms.
 There were many wild speculations as to the cause of tbe unusual procession.
 "Dear me-" exclaimed we'll known lady. Has there been a wreck, doctor!"
 ''No, madam" replied the doctor, with characteristic imperturbabllity. "only a birth"
 The mother and the oherub are flour ishing.
 Coco0ino has been suggested ss the middle name of the little dear.-Flag- staff Democrat.

THE coroner's jury who examined the body of the dead man found in the Chi
 ricahuas the other day were unable to learn anything of the poor fellow. Be- yond his mutilated hand, there WAS TO recognizable mark because of the vast ed condition of ths body. He was buri- cd by strange hands. Or unknown graves Arizona has her full share, possi- oly more, for her unknown dead lIe scat tered in hill and plain. Thirst has bleached more bones on the desert sands | Of this territory than Indian warfare.
 Thirst for gold wRs the hand maiden to the thirst for water. It beckoned men on to where danger rode the spectral
 horse and scattered bones, or lonely grave, marks the closing chapter Of on adventurous life, and that is all there is.

DUELING IN MEXICO.

Dueling ID Mexico can hardly be call ed a popular amusement considering the results of the VerBstigui, R9mero meet on the field of honor. Verastigui was killed and probably Romero wishes by this time that he had shared @ like fate. All connected with the meet were acquitted by the courts into which the case was taken with the exception of Romero whose trial closed on the 27th instant. A press dispatch Of that date l from the City of Mexico states that the public prosecutors asked for a penalty of five years for Romero. The judge then sentenced Romero to three years ard four months at hard labor in the municipal prison, with liberty to choose the trade he preferred, and he was also sentenced to pay fine Of 1900 or 100 days additional Furthcrmore he was admoniehed that if he ever committed a similar offeuse the severest penalties of the criminal code would be applied to him. The judge then sen enced him 10 pay to the family of Verastigui for eie hteen years the sum of Si,500 yearly and to pay the cost Of Ferastigui's funer- al and gil costs in the case.
 The sentence of Romero establishes B precedent that man killing his antag- onist in Q duel will have to maintain the family Of the victim or remain in prison perpetuRlly.

A LITTLE cuticura and warm sbam- poo would work marvels with the Cock leburr inquiry which etili comes out of the ground and listens for something to drop. The movement to secure the governors removal shows no sign of either cracking or bending, but rather hardens under the weight of successive dsappoirtments that petrlfaction is liable to ensue. Ia that case Phoenix won't te in it wish her native son as there will be enough petrified men in the old pueblo to glut the demand at S6.00 a cord.

HAVANA is to Jubilate. Unless, how ever, the people Of that ancient city are much lied about, they will have as little heart in the publication as did the citi- zsns Of Mexico when Maximiilian enter ed the capital Of that country Urder the fierce prick of French bayonets the people cheered the invader, but time made all things even at Queratero.

The Philadelphia Press aptIy and truly

The Philadelphia Press aptly and truly says: The policy of send:ng natives of foreign countries U their old homes to represent the United States as diplo- matic and consular agents is ore deeerv- ing Of severe condemnation. The gov ernments to which such representatives are sent invariably disliks to have their former subjects come back in that way, and the United States suffers as result. Consul General Judd at Vienna is a native of Austria, and Consul Jonae, at Prague, was also native of that coun- try. Jonas was transferred few months ago out of the Austrian domain at the request Of the government of that coun- try, and now it IS reported that Judd will have to be recalled. Such appoint ments are in the line with the colossal blundering of the Cleveland Rdministra- ton infoTeIgn sffairs generally.

BATTLE WITH & BEAR.
The Fate of Michael Kennedy, of
 Gallup-Ths Boby Found.

The torn and lacerated body of Mich sel Kennedy, m old and respected citi- zen of Gallup, was found near Williams, Ariz, iast week by party of sesrchers who had been out several days. Ken nedy was killed by bear while on his way from Gallup to Jerome. In his company was man named Wm. Smith. Having lost the trail, they were travel ing on foot near the edge of a deep canon when about noon. says Smith, bear came jumping out of the bushes near them. Smith saw the animal first, yell ed and then started to run, and in his hurried flight fell over the edge Of the ridge and down some thirty feet, and then rolled down the side of the noun tain about 300 feet further, getting bad ly bI aised and cut, and while at the bot tom of the cannon he could hear Ken nedy crying for help. Smith was too weak to move after his fall and lay there in semi dazed state for the balance of the day and that night. Next day be called ct a ranch and related what had happened and went on to Jerome where he also told of Kennedy's fate, but Smith seemed to be half daft and few people paid any attention to his story. Finally however, travelling man who knew the Kennedy Bros. of Gallup, wrote of the circumstance and Mrs. Keunedy's friends went in search of the missing man. When found the body was badly decomposed. The left arm had been broken below the elbow and the throat was very badly lacerated, the clothing badly torn and covered with blood. In the clothes was found his watch and his scarf-pin still in the tie: his revolver and money were also found. It was plain to be seen from all indi- cations that he was killed by bear or mountain lion, it is not positively known which. Santa Fe New Mexican.

PLANTING CANAIG RE.
Rapid Growth and Adapability of the Plant-Indiginous in This
 Lat ftude.
From the Gazette.

Fowler Bros. are now planting five acres of canaigre as an experiment, and if this does well they will probably en- gage extensively in that industry, grow few thousand acres of this taunin plant and erect suitable works for the reduc- tion of it to tRnnic acid. While they call it an experiment, from the fact tnat they have not yet ascertalned just how to grow the plant most successfully, it has been well demonstrated that here the weed is indiginous.
 They are plating three, two and one foot apert ln rows, with a vIew of GScer- taining just how to get the best yield, They are also splitting some of the roots 10 zee if it will not grow just as we'll that way. The method of growing csnaigre is very similar to that of growing sugar beets. By planting in the early fall, harvest comes in early June, before there is possible shortage of water, thus insuring fuli crop each year.
 The plant is harvested with blow Then the roots are gathered and dried after which they are ready for shipment; or perhaps the most practical way is to have reduction plant on the grounds.
 It has been but few years since this plant became well known, but now it is almost certain to supply the world with jamie acid. Only few days ago a far mer of this valley had set of harness made, the leather of which was tanned with canaigre. Leather SC tanned seems soft, and does not harden by being ID the hot sun, making a finer harness leather than the usual product.
 Four years has developed the cansigre industry until now it bids fair to rank with mining, cattle growing, fruit rais- ing and growing alfalfa.

It was not John See.

 The object of Mir. Thompson's trip was 10 arrest man believed to be John See, the wife murderer, who had been located in the Cherokee Strip. Requis- i;icn papers were Issued by Governor Hughes npon the governor of Oklahoma, and a8 the description of the suspect tallied so closely with that of See, Sher- if Thompson was hopeful of securing his man. After hard ride into the in terior of the Strip, he found the man working on ranch, and who proved to be not John See, but counterfeit pre- sentiment of him. A year ago last Nov ember John See was seen and recogniz cd ID Fort Smith, Ark, by lady from Globe. At that time Sheriff Thompson telegrRphed the authorities of It. Smith to apprehend and hold See, but he had taken alarm and disappeared, and has not been heard of since Silver Belt.
