The report published elsewhere in ihis issue to the effect that the Peralta land grant claim has been revived and that the alleged heirs, living in Mexico, are about to bring suit for recovery in the land court at Santa Fe, will not oc- casion alarm amongst the resident upon the alleged grant in Arizona. The Peralta grant was shown to be spurious by Surveyor General of Ari' zona Royal A. Johnson, in very fall and able report, after an exhaustive search had been made, at the instance of the United States govern, ment, both in Mexico and the archives at Madrid, Spain. The trial of Reayis claim furnished additional proof that the Peralta claim is fraudulent, ana there is no likelihood that it will ever be reopened in the land court.

The production of copper for 1896, according to the Mineral Industry, supplement to the Engineering and Mining Journal, reached the largest total ever reported, 467, ,S22, 923 pounds, equal to 2OS,s5O long tons, or PIP, 240 metric tons. Over half of the production wss sent abroad, the ship ments to foreign countries amounting to no less than 125,605 long tons, or 59.2 per cent of the output. Had it not been for an extraordinary foreign demand the production of copper must have been very much curtailed, in stead of showing, as it did, an increase of Sl, 1869, ,423 pounds, or 2l per cent. The foreign demand also kept up the average price, which was l0.Ss cents per pound. for Lake copper in New York, against 10.66 cents in 1895. This price is probably about half a cent above the general average for the metal, when the large sales of cleo trolytic an. casting copper arc con sidered.

That old veteran newspaper man, Judge Hackney, of the Globe SILVER BELT, puts quietus on Attorney Gen eral Wilson's learned CD dissertation on the Harrison net. Judge Hackney claims that as the counties have overreached the limit of per cent nc levy can properly be made for other than the actual necessary expenses of the counties and territory. The nor nal and reform schools, jail buildings, courthouses, etc., cannot become ben eficiaries where the limit has run. The judge is undoubtedly correct and J. Furioso Wilson is wrong.

 Considering the value of the prop erty involved, less care has been taken in perfeoting titles to mining claims than in anything else. Of course the laws have been faulty and left much to the individual locator, and his careless ness has been the cause of an immense amount of litigation and confusion. Until n patent is obtained the owner ol the claim can never be certain of his title

HAVE YOUR CLAIM PATENTED.

If tho owners of mining claims would, whenever they have complied with the requirements and are able to do so, obtain patents for them, they would remove a very fruitful source of litigation, says tho Mining and Scien
 tific Press. There are very few mines located correctly. Proper surveying and accurate measurements are seldom made when mines are located. It has been proposed that the state legisla- fnre enact that where locator has the Boundaries and corners of his claim established by United States deputy mineral surveyor and his claim con- sestod with corner of the public sur e'y, and incorporates in the record of

fused to commute, made his escape from the Solomonville iail on the n;gl.t of June g.
 From the Bulletins account of .,,o air it seems there must have been gross careleBsness on the part of the iailors Joe Reaves and George Burkner. charged with Chacon's safe- keeping. Both officers were asleep in the iuil at the time and it is singular that neither of them were disturbed by the noise which Chacon must have made in saw . ing and digging his way out through tho wall. After saving through the double layer of two inch pine boards which lined the adobe wall and which were spiked together with five-inch spikes, Chacon prized tho boards off with m iron bar, pulling the long spikes with it, and which operation must have made considerable noise, yet his escape was not discovered until the next morning.
 Sheriff Birchfeld and Undershcrifl Olney were both out of town. The Bulletin says;
 Ut has been known ever since Chacon was convicted that he had friends who would render him any assistance in their power. Last fall il was rumored that his friends would make an attempt to rescue him from l jail, and Chacon was removed to tho Tucson jail for safety, where he re mained until last month. This should have caused extra precautions to have been taken in guarding him."
 Sheriff Birchfield has offered .a re ward of S700 for the arrest of Chacon but there appears to be little hope o capturing him and he is probably now safe in Mexico. Chacon is known t. some of our Mexican population having lived in Globe and on Tonts creek for short time. He has aIway, borne an unsavory reputation.

AN EXCELLENT APPOINTMENT

William M. Griffith was nominated dn June 10, to Do United States mar sbal for the district of Arizona, vice w. K. Meade who WIS removed, it is alleged, for interfering to prevent the confirmation Of NJ. II. McCord as governor
 The appointment of Vim. NJ. Griffith meets with approval throughout the territory and nowhere does it give greater satisfaction than in Gila county, where he has resided for many years and has won the confidence and respect of everyone acquainted with him. The editors of the SLvEx BsST are espec- ially pleased by his appointment and tender congratulations.
 The Star says: "Mr. Griffith, the newly appointed marshal, is native of Chester, Chester county, Pennsylvania. He has been ia Arizona more than twenty-five years. Ho was for long time connected with the overland stage and mail lines, and later was of the firm of Kearns & Griffith, mail con tractors, and in later years he has been Rr the stock business at Dripping Springs, Gila county. He has always
  been Q strong Republican, Mckinley man,, and is now the national commit teenan for the territory. No man stands better in the territory than MT. Gifiith, or who is better qualified for the office of marshal than he; a man of courage, integrity, honesty and every inch man.

THE PERALTA GRANT.
lt is to Be litigated Again in the
 United States Land Court.

The Peraltn grant of 5O,O0O, GOO acres in Arizona, in which Phoenix, the capital of that territory, is situated, and also great portion of the Gila river valley, in which large number of valuable farms and towns exist and have their being, is about to come up in the courts again to be litigated, and this time, it is thought, successfully.
 The heirs of said grant live at San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and the eminent Mexican attorney, E. D. Garza, who does business in San Antonio, Texas, and Monterey, Mexico, is in Fl Paso on his way to New Mexico to file the claim before the land court now sitting at Santa Fe, for the heirs of said grant. He says thAt the grant was originally given to Marquez Falces de Peralta, ,, Baron de Arizona, by the Spanish gov ernment for services rendered the queen in 1774, and that the title is as clear as the monday sun.
 Attorney Garza is very enthusiastic over the matter, and having as he has clear chain of title signed by the queen herself, properly authenticated and designated on old maps of the grant, Mir. Garza thinks that be will be able 10 establish the Peralta grant beyond the possibility of doubt, as he has ample authorities at his com mand to convince any court in this country of the genuineness of the grant and of the legitimacy of the heirs of the same. me.--Albuquerque Citizen.

BRUNSWICK'S BUDGET.
A New City CIOck-Larger Sewerage
Pipe a Necessity.

Brunswick, Ga, Nov. 12-Brunswiek, for
the first time in her history, has city
clock. 1t is located in the city hall tower
and plainly visible to the entire popula-
ton. The tone of the bell sounds loud
enough to be heard all over the corporate
limits. Al night the clock is illuminated.
Two measures brought before council
last night and briefly reported in these dis
patches meet with almost unanimous APP
prevail One relates to national quaran-
tine In this Brunswick has had a practk-
cal lesson and it has proven less eXpen-
sive than local, besides being more effect
i've. The other relates to thai local eye
sore, the market. This piece of building
has remained for years monument to
mossbackism and the slight opposition de-
Veloped toward it in council does not meet
with popular favor. Alderman Atkinson
gave an explanation of his opposition to
the Morning News correspondent, which
brings to the surface Brunswicks sewer
age system again. Alderman Atkinson
states that the city is not able to improve
the building just now for two financial
reasons. One is that $500 has just been
spent on the clock. Another is that 5000
or $1,000 will have to be spent on the
sewerage system in laying new pipe. This
laying of pipe is made necessary, Alder.
man Atkinson says because the sewerage
engineers made a mistake in their esti-
mate. They estimated that a certain sized
main pipe would carry off all the drainage
water, but the pipe has proven too small.
| The trouble seems to be that the system
works so quickly In draining off water
that during hard rainy weather the vol
ume of water coming in overtakes the
main drain pipe running down Mansfield
street TO its outlet in Oglethorpe bay. 1t
seems that the city will have to foot the
bills for the mistaken estimate of the
sewerage engineers, as the city accepted
the plans and paid for It. Alderman At
kinson says there is nothing else to do but
to pay the bills and get rid of the trouble
the best way possible. City Engineer
| Wylly informs the Morning News CORE
spondent that the only trouble with the
sewerage system is that it drains the city
too quickly for the size of piping that IS
to carry the water off. In consequences
he has reported several times that unless
larger main piping is put in, the entire
system may collapse during any hard rain.
! The quick draining from a sanitary stand
| point all agree, is excellent but viewed
| from an engineering standpoint, the size
! of the main drain pipe should be in
creased large enough to carry off the I'M
mense volume Of water which flows in
| during a hard rain.

Alleged That Charges Against Him
Are Part of a Plot.

Are Part of a Plot.
From the New York Press.
Washington, Nov. 10.-Capt. o. NJ. Car
ter of the engineer corps, charged with
changing plans for the Improvement of
the Savannah harbor without sufficient
authority, is in Washington A board of
investigation which has. been making in
quiry in this case has just completed its
labors in New York, and the war depart
ment is awaiting the report. Gen. Wilson,
chief of engineers says the finding of the
board will not be made public until it Is
in the hands of Secretary Alger.
Stories have been printed of alleged col
fusion between Capt. Carter and the con-
tractors who executed his work, but these
reports have received no credence in army
circles, where Capt Carriers reputation
for probity is vouched for
The trouble is said 10 date from the as
signment of Carter to the Nicaragua canal
commission. He was reported to have
made remarks unfavorable to the present
management of that project, and the
charges which are now the subject of such
interest were Immediately forthcoming, al
though the Nicaragua canal people deny
any connection with them.
The report of the board will be volum-
nous one, as the investigation has COW
cred a field wider than a regular court
martial could have done.
