An Old Arizona Miner Comes
 Out With SS0.O0O Worth.

One can hear of almost any kind of news from the Isqui country. The following is a dispatch from the City Of Mexico, and we give it for what il l. worth:
 "Advices received in this city by a well-known mining man confirm the stories that there are some rich plGcers in the Ysqui country. Within the pas, Unity cays over 2Oc prosr ector- have gone iuto the Isqui country. All were well ouifltsG. Parties con- ing dewn from tie gold iel Is say ths | there is an abundance of geld in lh, country hnd a wide field for explora- lion. The st)ry that Henry Ander son, an oll Ar.ZJua nIinCr, has come out with Ss0,CO0, the product 0! tLe work of three men Tor three m nthr, is correct.

FROM THE KLONDYKE.
An AriZ0nans Observations
 on Alaska.

The Star has the following o5serva- tions of trip to Alaska by Dr. Gal, who is well known in Tombstone and thi. county, aud who has jus; re- turned to Tucson:
 After a half hours talk with pr. Gsfl, who has JHst returned from q trip to Alaska points, il is no trick to zee, in the minds eye, the camps planted along he route to the rich gold fields, and the thousands of for tune hunters who have halted ss near ss possible to the Fl Dorado, waiting z for the rigors Of wint-r to pass.
 "The Doctor saw a chance to make nes, speculation by taking load Of horses and hay 10 the norIhland, and immediately earned out the plan. At the foot of Skaguay trail horse s brought s250 each and hay $7O a ton but O course this wac for short time. Soon after the Doctors ariivsl prices ha .allen to 8 for horses, and hay s20 a ton, which was less than the freight.
 "Skssusy is the tes town for booms. In a single week two hun drei houses were erected there, mostly of rough boards, though occasionally one was built of logs. Any one who wanted work could get it at g day.
 Packers on the Chilcoot pass re- ceived pay from 40 cents to sl per Louad for carrying goods, and this work was monopoiizsd by the Indians.
 Part way over the pass horses might be used, bu. it was an unior- tunate man who put on too large a pack, ss in that Case tbe horse would be crowded from the trail by over- banging crsgs to the gulch below.
 "The sale of liquor is not allowed in Alseks, but nevertheless the stuff IS not scarce, as saloons are thick. A large quantity of whisky was contra band ed one day recently, but not de stroyed. and day lster the origin a! owners were in possession,
 "Dr. Calf left skaguay the middle Of September, and at that time there had been no snow and httle ram. He thinks there is little danger of suffer ing from hunger this winter in tn. gold fields, though prices may ruu very high on goods"

Agreeably Disappointed.

One of the richest men living, whose
immense wealth makes him target fol
poor people, has recently been in Paris,
and the way in which he repealed one OF
the applicants for his generosity is re-
lated like this: On the opposite side Of
the hotel table sat woman who had
once been rich.
Monsieur, you Englishmen are SC
chivalrous-so ready to assist those in
distress.
YES" said the man of wealth, hest
Eating. He had heard that before and
thought he knew what was coming next.
Would you, with your usual gener'
osity, do me favor and great kind
ness?''
Eyes, madam-that is, it depends
somewhat"
''Think well, monsieur, before you
promise, for it is great kindness.
1t was the same old plea that he had
heard many times before from people
who wanted a loan.
81 am afraid, madam, that shall
have to But what is it you wish?'
"Only that you would be kind enough,
monsieur, to pass me the mustard. You
have everything on your side of the ia

served one of the men standing on the
scaffolding, with his hands in his peck

the ladder, and. stepping in front OF
him, said:
Now I've caught you. Well have
no more of this. Here's your four days
pay lit being Friday, and you can con-
slider yourself discharged. "
The man pocketed the money and
went away rather quickly. Just then
the foreman came up, and the builder
told him what he had done.

His Way of Telling a Horses Age.

A well known Portland man, who is
tho owner of a fine young horse, has a
pet hobby, and that is telling a horses
age with the aid of long hair from the
animals tail, gold ring and a glass Of
water.
His idea is to take the ring, place it
in the center of the hair, and, holding
both ends, put the ring in glass. He
claims that the ring thus suspended will
strike against the glass, giving the cor
rect age of the horse. To prove this as
sertion he invited veterinary surgeon
and several friends one day the past
week to sec the trick done. The doctor
was to examine the horse and tell if the
test was correct.
The young man pulled long hair
from the animals tail, put it through a
ring and gave it to friend to hold in
the glass of water. At first it did not
seem to work, aud there was a look of
anxiety on the young mans face, but in
a few seconds there was click, and the
ring began to strike against the glass so
fast that it was hard to keep count The
man who was holding the hair asserted
that the ring tapped 80 times, the cor
rect age of the horse, but the doctor
claimed that there must be some mis-
take, either in the test or the horse,
for the animal had every appearance OF
being only few years old, and a good
horse at that -Kennebec Journal.

at least eighty per cent of the individual
taxpayers pay taxes on real and personal
property valued at less than $500, aud
less than tWo-thirds Of the male persons
