 In the case of Sixto Garcia vs Rob- ert Stiggall, a contest case before the United States land office, Binger Her man, commissioner of the general land office, decides that as the Gila river, on which the land in controversy is located, part on each side, is less than three chains wide, the said river should not have been meandered. In his case the claimant having inn proved the said land on both sides in good faith, the contest of Garcia was dismissed and the homestead en- try declared valid.
 ''El Bonancito," the scene of the late reported Yaqui strike, is a roil- ing valley, about thirty-five by sixty miles in area, and the locality therein visited by Captain Cox is only thirty five miles from Ortiz station, on the Sonora railway. The road from the station is good being almost level the entire distance, but one small canyon to pass through and only two or three low hills to overcome The formation is decomposed granite, the gold is coarse and heavy and all the water necessary for operation is easily pro- curable.
 The Arizona game law as amended 1 by the Nineteenth legislature seems to be little understood and is being violated almost daily in Yuma coun- ty. The law when enforced positively | prohibits the killing of ducks and | quail between the first day of June and the 10th day of October. It is also illegal to trap or snare quail at any time of year. The law will be | rigidly enforced in Yuma from this time on, both as to killing quail out of season and to trapping them at any Sentinel.
 Some enterprising citizen ought to l take up a subscription for the purpose Of buying Buckley O'Neill a wooden h. dian so he would have some one to relate his troubles to without burden ing the press with "open letters" to people who do not ask his advice on matters pertaining to the public well fare of Arizona. Buckey does not take up room enough in the world to be in the way of anybody, and for | this reason his commissions and omis- siors are devoid of interest and his 1 shrill, small voice, though often pitched in high key, for or against som ebody or something, is never rest ful.-Arizona Sentinel.
 Quite serious cutting affray took place this morning in the kitchen of l the Can-Can restaurant A strange
 coincidence in connection with the affair is that the alteration occurred
 between two employees of the estab- lishment of widely different nationali- l ties, one named Charles Black. who 1 is white, and the other John Whight. who is black. Charles Black became so infuriated at the taunts of John | Wright that he grabbed a large | butcher knife and rushed at the negro. In his mad fury he knocked l down stovepipe used for carrying off smoke from the range, and the pipe fell upon him in such way that it | completely covered him with soot. | At this crisit Proprietor Hanninger rushed in, and while attempting to separate the combatants received a 1 deep cut in his left hand. When peace was restored, there, crouched in the corner, was John Whight, who was l black, now white as a sheet; and across the room stood he upon whom 1 the scot had fallen, Charles Black. who was white, but HOW as black as the ace of spades.-Bisbee Correspond ence Tombstone Prospector
