SAFFORD.
One of the Growing Towns of the Gila Valley Extensive Improve
 Inents in Progress.
From our regular correspondent

(trom our regular correspondent. oafOra ls the coming town of the val .,y. Tie ne~ paper is located here and
 the C.. V. G. S N. R. k. has it's principal
 depot here. The town has lately begun to put on little shape" The people
 here are becoming entnused with spir- 1t of improvement. New homes are be-
 ing erected, and business IS brightening ap. Jacobson's new brick store; Fry's
 nev social hall, and the new depot
 building, all point to Safford's future greatness.
 Thousands Of choice fruit trees have
 been planted this spripg in this beauti- ful valley and many acres of new land have oeen ciared and eowed to grain. The principal canals have been cleaned and enlarge and every preparation Is being made for a bounteous harvest.
 Tie Lone Star miniog district is com ing to the front, and in the near future there will be good camp established. It IS seldom that the mines and the SUD- porting farming communities are more favorably situated one to the other than in Graham county. Many first class prospects have been located and filed on in this district within the past few months.
 A company has been organized for the purpose of constructing large canal, tapping the Gila river at the narrows a few miles above $ lomonvlle and fol- lowing the foot of the mesas, making 1t cover all that choice land above the Union canal and extending to the base If Mo1nt Graham. This will be known AS the Enterprise canal, and when com plsted will recla m thousands of acres of our best land.
 District court will open at Solomon vile on the Sth of April. We will be pleased to see Judge Rouse back again | and trust that in the future he will live | Tlth us as the law requires. The last | clause of the organic law of Arizon9, | sec. 1865, Revised Statutes of 1887, page | '2 reads: ''Each (ds rict) judge after shall reside in the district to | which he has been assigned" Judge Rause's presence here would doubtless | nave prevented the ''reign of terror" carried on few weeks ago at Solomon 7ille.

A Mine Disaster,

PREscoTT, Ariz., April "A terrific explosion of hundred pounds of giant powder, in the OhiC Df the Mescal Mining and Milling Co. occurred at a late hour this afternoon.
 The mine IS located nine miles from Prescott and the particulars are very meagre, as the courier left immediately after the explosion to secure medical aid for the injured.
 Five men were working in the drift where the powder was stored and three had been rescued, seriously injured, when the courier left. James Newlin, foreman of the mine, was the most se- rIously injured.
 The explosion was caused by a cave of hundred or more tons of rock. and whether the other two men were killed and buried beneath the 6ebris, or are in the drift behind the cave in of rock, could not be determined when the mes- senger left. The miners set to work immediately to remove the rock from the drift, which imprisoned the men. Particulars are not obtsInsble before morning.

The Exodus.

The exodus from Tombstone for the new gold camp continues. Wednesday night no less than twenty persons left in the night for the scene of operations. They left in all kinds of conveysnces, anu vied with each other in getting first on the ground.
 The find made by Frank EDgle was the objective point, and he was follow closely on his way thither by several parties. He gave them all the slip, how ever, and no doubt reached his bonanza and located it before any one reached it. As far as heard from no one had found him or his location.

A RACE FOR WEALTH.
The Now Gold District still AbsOrbs
 the Attention of fProspectors.

A half a dozen prospectors returned last night from the new gold excitement in the Sulphus Spring Valley. The last stampede for this district went out Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning, the valley in the vicinity of the West Wells resemhled the pictures recently published of the rush to Okla homa. Men on foot and on horseback vied with each other in getting the choicest locations.
 Two men from Turquois or horses rode all day long locating as rapidly as possible on the course of the big ledge. Frank Engle the original dIscoverer of the ledge barely reached the ground in tune to get a location for Himself. The location of the claims IS about ten miles south of the Pierce mine, and the ledge crops out fifty feet in the air and runs along the low hills which rise up out oi the valley. The quartz is a hard close grain, honey comb Tn places and carry, ing much iron. It is quite similar to the Dos Cabezas quartz on the big ledge.

THE BRITISH ULTIMATUM.
Secretary Gresham Concerned ovel
 the Venezuelan Affair,

WASHINGTON, April 2-The Secretary of State is very much CO., cerned these days about the Venezuelan problem.
 The British ultimatum delivered to Nicarsgu8is is not a source of political ap- prehensiop, for 1t is not now believed that the British will take action in the way of acquiring territory in that direc- tion or to jeopardizs the property of Americans in Nicaragua by lombard in their efforts to collect the indemnity demanded from Nicaragua. These are the two moves that might cause the United States to interfere. But in the case of the Venezuelan border dispute there is much grave cause for spprehen- slon.
 It appears that our ambassador, Mir. Bayard, has not succeeded in inducing the British government to give heed to the request submitted by him, at the direction of Congress, that the bound ary dispute be submitted to arbitra- l tiOu.
 The British are profuse h their dec larations of willingness to aroitrate | the title ot the land west of the Schoom- berg line, but in the view of the State Department it is pure evasion of the real issue, for there never has been any real assertion of British right to this | territory, and 1t is territory lying east of this line that forms the substance of the contention.
 The situation is believed to be alarm ling, as armed bodies of British and tVenevuelsns are pressing each other lclosely in the disputed territory and there may be a hostile clash at any mo- fment. The administration bas been considering the course to be pursued in such case, and it Is entirely probable
 that if the British perslst in bringing about such a collision, their failure to
 hear the repeated warnings and requests
 of the United States to submit the mat
 ter to arbitration, then the United lStates will feel obliged to follow the
 moral aid 1t has given to Venezuela in in this matter by more substantial assis- , tance.

Strike Next to Congres Mine.
JournRI-Mi

Arrivals from Congress yesterday yesterday bring news of an exceedingly rich strike in the Remnant mine, a par allel claim to the famous Congress mine owned by Messrs. Hale, Bashford, Brumister and Parker, of this city. The strike made was at depth of about 250 feet. the ledge showing width of four feet of solid sulphuretts, in character aud value being identical with that of the big mine above named. Our infor- mant says that many miners visited the bottom of the shaft to view the ledge, and all pronounce it nothing more than a bonanza, showing also all the Dinera- logical features of the Congress, in for nation and character of the ore.

 Invested ss he is with the power to remit the taxes due from impoverished peasants he, also, has a chance to ap- propriate them to hls own use.
 Three years ago certain Mir. Pastu- choff was found to be systematically appropriating the sums collected. Arrest ed and tried for the embez2liment of government funds he gave bold excuse "My pay is smaller than my expenses. Curiously enough the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty on the ground that Pastuchoff's salary was insufficient to keep up the style of his social manner of living.

ON TOP.
The Bauer Gold Mines Still in
 Bonanza,

Bonanza,
 The Bauer gold district, about one half way between Tombstone and the Pierce camp, has been temporarily lost sight of, but it is still as solid, from 8 standpoint of value, as anything in sight in southern Arizona.
 At the present time he has two shafts upon tEe ledge one 20 and the other 24 feet in depth. These shafts are all in ore, and assays from the bottom show an average of S3S per ton in gold and about .9 ounces silver. On one side of the led ge is porphyry dike, it is mixed with quartz and assays SS per ton. Free gold is visible to the naked eye in many places. The owners have over 50 tons of ore on the dumps, taken from the shafts sunk.
 The richest ore is a lively looking quartz containing pyrites of iron iD small quantities, but nothing else of a base nature.
 Mr. Bauer is erecting a house on the mine and will work his claim in a sys- tematic mGnner.-Prospector.

PRICE AND COST.

The terms "priceD and scost'' are often used as if they meant the same, yet they are widely different in meaning. The price of an article is what it will bring, the cost is the expense of its production. Hence such persons confuse falling prices with falling costs, when they are perfectly dis tinct. The amount of labor necessary to produce the great commodities of life may be lessening from year to year, and yet the prices, the money value Of those things, be increasing. Costs and prices may rise or fall together, or one may rise as the other falls. A lowering of the costs of things is always advan tageous, meaning an easier living for mankind. A fall of general prices is always curse, unless it be &C., companied by corresponding fall in costs. In the Birmingham district the price of iron has fallen one-half in the past few years, but the cost has also fallen. Hence our ironmasters are still enabled to run their furnaces at profit. The Louisiana sugar planters have lost the government bounty. but they are going ahead planting as much sugar cane as ever. The price they will get for it will be less than with the bounty, but with improved machinery and more economical methods the cost will be considerably less and the profit almost as great. The cotton planters have sui fered from a fall in price without a corre- spending reduction in cost. They go on in the same old extravagant way, paying to the merchant twice as much for their bread and meat as they ought to pay, and hence the cost of growing the crop exceeds the profits. When they learn to reduce the cost by making their supplies at home, then it will correspond with the price and there will be profit in 5-cent cotton Same of them are already doing this and are making money.

NOTHING STARTLING
Developed in Yesterdays Search for Fraud in the November Election.
 This Is the Contestants -si
 Last Day. ta-

l.. c. Pettyjohn testified before Special Commissioner R. D. Thompson yesterday in behalf of the contestant in the contest case of Aldrich vs. UnderwoodA
 MT. Pettyjohn is republican and was an inspector of election at the Elyton box in the November election. He said ha saw several parties challenged on the ground that they did not live in that beat. He couldn't say whether they lived inlthat beat or not. He said that there were great number of deputy sheriffs at the polls, and one fight occurred during tte day. Of the twenty five or thirty who were challenged he thought a about fourth of them voted. He said all who proved they lived in the beat were permitted to vote. He said he watched the box all day and kept q separate tally sheet and it corresponded with the number of votes put in the box. He saw no bulldozing, aud believed the connt was fair and honesC. He said several ballots were thrown out for legal causes.
 Jesse Claxton, colored, voted in beat 37 for Aldrich. He was arrested for having in his possession a ballot which was a copy of the official ballot. He said he was tried and discharged. On cross- exam ination he stated that he could not read, but when he had finished testifying he wrote his own signature to the testimony.
 wEATHERLY AND MYERS.
 Messrs. D. F. Myers and 1had Weath- erly continued their investigation yester- day and until late hour last night. great deal of the testimony was concerning the municipal election held on the 4th of December.
 MT. Robert Warnock, the democratic nominee for mayor at ihaG election, was on the stand for considerable portion of the afternoon. He explained the conditions confronting the people at that election and the issues involved.
 MT. J. P. Stiles. chief clerk to the pro- bate judge, was on the stand in the fore noon. In regard to the Bessemer box, about which so much has been said, he said he put two tickets in the box for every voter in that precinct, and that when the box left the probate judge's office it con tained that number. He said MT. Aldrich was given representative at every box in the county. He explained the manner in which the wrong name was given for the Aldrich manager in beat 2. He understood Jerry Fountain, who was present when the election officers were selected as an AL drich representative, to say Adam Powell and not Adam Pow.
 All the testimony in behalf of the con- testant will have to be in by tomorrow night, as that is the last day allowed by law in which he can secure evidence. The contestee then has forty days in which to obtain evidence in rebuttal.

ASH WEDNESDAY AND LENT.

Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, is supposed to have received this name from custom in the church of sprinkling ashes on the heads of penitents then admitted 10 penance. The early church did not com- mence Lent until the following Sunday; the additional days were probably included by Gregory the Great.
 The word Lent comes from a Latin word meaning spring, and is applied to the forty days preceding Easter. It was ob- served by the Latin church as far back as the fourth century. Irenaeus mentions that the custom of keeping a fast before Easter Sunday was quite old even in his day, but that uniformity of observance had up to that time been established, come thinking they ought to fast for one day, others for two days and others having fur ther peculiarities. Irenaeus was Bishop of Lyons in the end of the second century, and was one of the most distinguished of the theoogians of the ante- Niceue church. Tertullian at later date gives his opinion that Christians ought to commemorate by religious fast all the time during which ''the bridegroom was taken away from them.' This period of fasting was gradu- ally extended, but still without uniformity of practice. The diversity of usage
  ferred to by Socrates as a source of perplexty to him. In certain countries it was the custom to fast thirty six days-a tithe, or tenth of the year, an idea which found wide acceptance. The fast of forty days seems to have apostolic authority, and refers to the fast of forty days by our Lord in the wilderness.
 As regards the manner of observing Lent various degrees of strictness have prevailed in the church. Perfect abstinence from all food every fasting day until evening is in theory at least required, and it has also been considered desirable that public wor- ship, with sermon, should be attended daily, with frequent communion, especially on Saturday and Sunday; public amuse- ments are prohibited, and the celebration of religious festivals, as also of birthdays and marriages, is held to be unsuitable and increased diligence in almsgiving and deeds of charity is enjoined.
