To the Editor OF Tho Post.
Houston. Texas. August 2S.-~The item
which noticed in your issue OF the s7th
presenting the official report OF st. Mary's
parish OF this city, under direction of The
Rev. W. X. Lloyd. is inclined to exasger-

The ves,ry OF st. Mary's have ever re-

Mohave County miner., 1897-09-18

A Washington dispatch of recent date says: The Secretary of the Interior has made final disposition of the celebrated case of w. H. Gowdy ct al vs. the Kis- met Mining Company of Cripple Greek, Col. This case involved the publication of mining claims in extenso. Some time ago the department decided this case and that decision if earned into effect would have compelled readvertisement of 90 per cent of all the mining claims in the United States that have not yet been patented
 This is the fourth and final hearing of the case, and the decision today directly reverses the original one. Under it's terms there need be no readyertisement of the old claims, but all claims pub- lished since the 1st of June must be ad- vertised in exact and absolute accord ance with all regulations.
 Secretary Bliss final decision recedes from the position of Hoke Smith to the effect that all the old claims must be readvertised with the same completeness of description that is demanded for new ones. It sustains the decision of Ex- Secretary Francis The case has been carried through hearings, and rehear- ings, and, as at last closed, relieved many thousands of mining claimants throughout the United States of the embarrassment and expense of readver- tisement

 There is ten pounds of glue in the hu man body, which is supposed to account tor so many people being stuck on them selves.
 A Warren woman fell from her wheel the other day and bit off piece of her tongue. The local papers report that the accident caused some of the meanest men in that town to buy wheels for their wives.
 The Phenix Herald sizes up the min ing situation in this territory as follows: "The mining interests of the Territory are going to bring in more money this fall than all other interests com bined. The fact is Arizona has a quiet little mining boom on right now, and has had all summer. The hunt for promising mining property is incessant and search. ing"
 An exchange remarks that a mosquito would make good advertisement be- cause he would never be satisfied with one insertion. He would make good collector, too, because he presents his bill before the work is done and he is such a persistent cuss that you settle with him at once rather than have him call again.
 Miss Kate Futile, daughter of E. D. Futile, has been appointed as postmis- tress of our neighboring town of Stafford. A better selection could not have been made, DOT could the position have been more worthily bestowed. Miss Kate was in this valley from childhood and her father is a pioneer in the Territory, hav. ing served in the first Arizona leglsla- ture from Mohave county.-Graham Bull letin.
 A curious sight is to be seen in the river near St. Johns, Ariz On account of drawing off the water in the reservoir at the Meadows for irrigation, thousands of fish are making their way up the river. On the rapids just below the bridge they are moving up in a continu- ous stream. As their further progress is checked by the dam ln the river above the bridge, the deep pool under the dam is crowded with the 6nny tribe.
 Egotism defrauds it's possessor; it makes man an unconscious hypocrite, for the reason that his actions beget deeds based upon his narrow conceptions of right. Every truth must conform to his preconceived opinions, and his opin ions being wrong he fails to receive the benefits of truth. If the selfidolator knew one millionth pat of what there is to know, he would lose his seIf-esteem by the realization of his own ignorance
 The Z1ni Indians tortured an old wo man few days ago until they extorted from her a confession that she had be- wItched the nostrums prepared by the medicine men so that the nostrums failed to cure the sickness of prominent In- dian. This would indicate that the Zuns have reached about that degree of civilization prevalent in the New Eng and States when witches were burned at the stake, although the z ms are more hu mane, being satisfied with torture of witches instead of burning them fo death. As the Zunis are savages. D. s. troops have been seat against them. In order that the magesty of the law may be fully vindicated and Zuni witchcraft given a fair show it m. .ht be we'll to prosecute these Z1ni medicine men for practicing medicine in violation ot the law of Arizona without first filing their diplomas for record.
