A WASHINGTON special to the New. York Herald says that President Mo. Kinley shows signs of making some concessions to the demands of the placa hunters who find themselves barred out of many choice places in the civil service by Air. Cleveland's orders ex- tending the protection of the rules to many places heretofore regarded as party spells. Great pressure has been brought upon the president to have him revoke MT. Cleveland's orders entirely, but he will not go as far as that. He may modify them to as to allow larger nnmber of appointments to be made from outside the classified service, on the ground that the places to which they are appointed are con fidential and should be filled by persons in harmony with their chiefs politically and possessing their confidence.

HE PRospEcToRs WORK.
What He Has Done for Arizona, New
 Mexico and California.

During the past winter the prospector has done good work in Arizona, New Mexico and Southern California, and as a result there have been more reports of the discovery of valuable mines and the opening up of new discoveries in that part of the country during the past three or four months than there has been for several years before. What is best about all, says the Mining X Scien- tifc Press, is the fact that capitalists or representatives of capital have paid attention to these reports and followed them up, and as result 8 great deal of development work is being done and the prospector's labors will not go in vain so much as they have in the past decade and half, during which time the mining industry has been in the dumps and men Of means have sought other sources for investnent. For many years back the prospector's reports have not been noticed-even when he has
 made valuable discoveries. He has been neglected, looked upon as about played out' and treated with scant courtesy by capital. Now this is all changed. Capital keeps an eye on the prospector and is very glad to give heed to him.

Good Practical Advice.
From the Range News.]


 One practical essential to success in the cattle business is that of giving the same attention to calf as is accord a to a COW or marketable steer. Calves must be branded up closely if stockmen would realize the full profit which the business of stock raising is capable Of yielding. In consequence of the time consumed in gathering and driving to the railroad the steers contracted for spring delivery, some of our stoclxmen may be inclined to neglect the import ant duty of branding the spring calves. We style it duty because if you fail to brand the increase of your herd, you practically invite to your range the men who make business of maverick ing or "sleepering" You can not afford to let such characters get a foothold on your range; soj even if you have to buy Q few ponies or feed an extra supply of grain, see that everything on your r,4nge is branded-not only your own calves, but your neighbors. twill pay you in the end.

Crime Abolished.
From the Phenix Republican,

From the Phonix Republican,
 At Solmonville the other day in sentencing Augustin Chacon to be hanged Judge Rouse spoke of the change made by the late legislature in the law relating to homicide, and the effect of it upon defendants charged with murder, whose cases were pending at the time the change was made, All lawyers agree that such defendants are materially affected to the extent that they cannot be convicted of murder Some lawyers believe that conviction of murder in the second degree is pos sible and others believe that man. slaughter is the most serious charge of which they can be found guilty. United States Attorney Ellinwood, who returned to town yesterday morning, said there had already beer two bene- iciaries of the law in the northern counties and there were probably five others who would escape. The mistake made by the legislature has never been fully explained in print. In order to supersede law by similar one, the first is wiped out of existence at the instant the other is created. When the old law of murder was repealed the crimes of defendants under 1t ceased to be crimes. The new law could not be made applicable to acts committed be- fore its passages for then they would be ex post facto laws and unconstitu- tional. In other legislatures when such legislation is desired the repeating clause contains saving clause some thing like this ''save and except as to such cases as may be now pending" But the Nineteenth Legislature did not think of this. It had no lawyers to speak of.

TIE people should not let up on the Buttes reservoir proposition, as it is the only salvation of our valley. Every effort should be made to influence Con- gress to make an appropriation for be- ginning the work. The strong point to be urged is its necessity for the h. dians on the Sacaton reservation. Other sections of the arid west have secured such appropriations, and the needs of Arizona are no less than theirs. An Associated Press dispatch from Laramie, Wyoming, says:
 The city council has given instructions to Engineer Whiting to make thorough sur yey of the big basin between this point and Sheep mountain. strong effort is now be- ing made to have tbis basin accepted as the site of one of the two great reservoirs to be located by the government in Colorado and Wyoming. The survey work now being done by the city is for the purpose of fur nishing data to the government engineer, who is expected here shortly to make Q thorough examination of the ground.

The Chronicle has dispatch from Stockton giving an account of tue marriage of Frank Leslie who was sen tenced to Yuma for fife, but pardoned recently by Gov. Franklin. The dispatch says:
 "Stockton-On December 1st last Nashville F. Leslie, giving his resi- dence at San Carlos A. T., was married by Justice Parker to Mrs. Belle Stowell, whose residence was put down upon the license as Warren county, Ill.

He was released after serving eight years of life sentence for nnr- der. Three years ago the Chronicle wrote up Leslie's exploit, in the course of the biography of the murder, pub fishing picture of him. Mrs. Belle Stowell, who then lived in San Fran cisco, and was the ex-wife of man in the employ of the Southern Pacific Company, read the narrative of the scouts adventures, and, it is said, fell in love with him. She has just been divorced from her husband. and she be- gan to corresponed with the murderer

ITS Body Viewed by 400 People and
 Fully Identified.
 Through the kindness of Marshal meaoe, the Citizen is enabled to give me Following particulars of the killing 0i Dlace Jack" the noted outlaw: CLIFTON, A. T., May 2nd, 1897. ". K MEADE, U. s. Marsha. Tucson. SIR:
 
 expecting that Black Jack and his band would pay this county visit be- tween the 2Oth and the last of the month the officers of the county have been wide awake and gathering in all information possible so that they rniyht know just when they did come conse- quently on the evening of the 28th of April learned that u man iron, what is known as the "goat ranchu on Cole creek, this county, had purchased from one of our merchants 200 rounds of cartridges, such as are used by no one in the county except Jack. he l,a.ins the only gun in the county shooting these cartridges. Learning this I at once began to make preparations to give them chase. Later in the day (about 9 o'clock at night), Deputy U. 5. Marshal Fred Higgins, of New Mexico, was informed that Jack and two companions had been seen during the evening, just above the Goat ranch, on Cole creek.
 At F o'clock at night, in company with ". T. Johnson, deputy sheriff of Morencl; Wm. Hart and chas. Paxton specials. and Fred Higgins. deputy marshal, l started for Cole creek. af- teen miles east of here, and arrived there about 2:30 in the morning Of the Eth. q want to say here that this Goat ranch has been Jacks holdout for for some time). Upon arriving in Cole creek canyon we stationed ourselves about l5O yards above the house and 1t the mouth of the box canyon, about zJO yards below where we were partly sure they were sleeping. We remained there until about sun up, when we heard talking at the house below us. and believing that our game was located there we began to make our way down the canyon to the hense We had not gone over seventy wards when Jack and his two pals showed up in our rear at the month of the box canyon, about twenty feet from where we had first taken our stand. Jack was in the lead and presented his gun, when Marshal Higgins fired. They turned to run when the potse fired eight or ten shots, one shot catching Jack just above the hip on the right side and coming out on the opposite side abut two inches higher up. He threw himself back as he turned to run. Jack ran about twenty steps further and fell in the brush. He lived about thirty minutes. His two pals escaped into the brushy box canyon. The body arrived in Clifton the next morn ing at O'clock where an inquest was held. The body was positively identi- fled to be that of Tom Keehum, alias " Black Jack" It was recognized as such by men, women and children. He was buried in Clifton on April 30, at 3:30 o'clock. More than 400 people viewed the dead outlaw.
 The officers of Graham county intend to keep up the chase and I have no doubt but that with the assistance of Marshal Higgins much more good can be accomplished.
 Yours very respectfully,
 BEN CLARK,
 Deputy Sheriff Graham Co.
