Instead of burying her in the great

slept her sisters insisted on her being
laid to rest just inside the boundary Of

Admiral Hatch started up the river
Wednesday morning on the schooner
McCord with a full crew and a cargo
of provisions and tools, for the pur-
pose of starting a wood camp on the
upper end of the prison farm. He
took twenty-four men who are willing
and anxious to out their way to lib
erty by having their time reduced one
month for each ten cords of wood
produced. Some of them have as
high as 800 cords to cut to regain
their freedom, but they all started in
with a willingness that means bust
ness. Trees are now falling right and
left, and the Territ ,ry will have to
buy no more wood for the prison, and
this will make saving to the tax
payers of about twelve dollars day

The appointment of Ex-Governor
Hughes as Regent and Chancellor of
the University, was one of the best
appointments that Gov. McOord has
yet made. To Ex Governor Hughes,
more than to any one else. is the
University indebted for it's present
efficiency. Before he was Governor,
during his incumbency in that Office,
and since, Gov. Hughes has embraced
every opportunity that presented it
self to do some good for the Univer-
sity, and has always been one of its
staunchest friends and supporters. 1t
was therefore meet and proper, and
just recognition of his services in be-
half Of that institution that he should
have received the appointment. 1t
is an office with but slight emoluments
but it is one of honor and usefulness.
Another thing in connection with
this appointment that renders it still
more graceful: Ex-Governor Hughes
has at all times been a ,staunch and
an ardent supporter of Gov, McCord i,
During his own incumbency he made
Col. McCord member. of the board
of control, and during the long and
bitter fight against COL McCord's con-
Armation, Gov Hughes was loyal te
his friend and made gallant fight fol
him. And nov it is a graceful ac'
for Gov. McCord to honor him with
one Of the most useful positions with
in his gift. No higher encomium ca,
be paid to a man than to say that he il
true to his friends. A man of tha
kind can be depended upon either il
public or private life.

BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT.


Trade in Southern California says:
The volume of business measured
by actual payments through clearing
houses, show large gain, not only
over the corresponding month of last
year, but also over 1892. Telegraphic
reports from all parts of the country
show both stock and produce markets
still tending upwards. The greatest
i, gain is for agricultural industries.
Manufacturers are rapidly Increasing
the output and prices generally are
expanding. es 5. Ia .4.s sg o
This immediate district, while shar-
ing in the advantage Of the great ad-
vance in wheat and other cereals, is
just now particularly interested in the
dried fruit market. Owing to light
eastern crops, an unusually heavy
European demand and the increased
prosperity throughout the United
States, the outlook for the grower is
brighter than for years past. There
is an activity and rising market in all
lines; even apricots, which are in
larger supply than for several years
past, are steady. saa s8.Id8j !.
The estimate of the raisin crop is
$500 to 3,4OO carloads, about 250
carloads more than last year. Some
good grades have brought 3 cents in
the sweat box. There are plenty Of
buyers, but few are being sold. There
is heavy crop in Spain this year
and we have eco carload legacy left
from last years marketing. The
Spanish can save enough in labor and
freight to overcome our | cent duty.
aCanneries are working full time, in
some instances day and night, paying.
good prices for green products. ,"
The crop Of almonds is fairly good.
The walnut crop is about two-thirds
of that of last year.. Prices will rule
a trife higher. All fears growing out
of the fact that there was an unusual
falling of the fruit when oranges were
in formative state have subsided
and there is general satisfaction over
the prospects of the coming crop. The
close of the beet harvest this year
will probably be little delayed. The
acreage is heavy, but the yield is be-
low normal, and the sugar percentage
at Chino is reported disappointing.
Money is easy and interest charges
lower. Collections are improving.

touch of midsummer dullness. Fail

aARIZONA'S GRANDEST
ACHIEVEMENT.

I Under the above heading the Tue
son Star says: The grand irrigaticr
canal to be constructed by the State
of Arizona Improvement company
and in the construction Of which Ter.
ritorial prison convicts will be en-
ployed, marks new era for Arizona.
Senator Ives, the promoter of this
mammoth enterprise. has purchased
the machinery and utensils which
when placed on the ground will have
cost $4,000. This will satisfy the
board of control of the good faith of
the company, and it, is understood
that the conVicts will be at once turn
ed over TO the company at seventy
cents per diem. This will prove of
much value to the Territory, for it
means profit over and above the
cost of maintaining the prison and
the institution will he more than self
sustaining. The reclamation to cul-
tivation Of 1900 acres of land COM
prised in the prison farm with water
rights attached (Which will be earned
by prison labor) at once increases the
value of the farm from com paratively
nothing to over 100000, handsome
asset for the Territory. The profit
Of which from its cultivation alone
will be greater than the cost of main
tanning the Territorial prison In fact
conservative estimates have placed
the profits of this farm, under convict
labor, sufficient to maintain tho prison,
the insane asylum and the normal
school. This is not all, as the compile
tion Of this great canal means the
reclamation of nearly, if not altogeth-
er one hundred thousand acres of rich
alluvial lands fed by the fat, vitalizing
waters of the Colorado river, at once
increasing the assessment of Yuma
county and the territory at least to
extent of $5,000.00O swelling the
farm value of the Territorial assess
ment roll. and the improvements that
will follow and the vast agricultural
output will be as much more. Here
are some Of the results which will
come from the construction of the
Yuma canal with convict labor. The
great work, if not impeded, will be
completed within the next four years
and the present administration will
be entitled to and receive the credit
while those who impeded the consum-
nation of the prison contract will
hide their heads in shame. This will
be the largest canal on the coast when
completed. 1t will result in more
berefit to Arizona at all times than
any one thing which can at present
be conceived, and to Senator Ives and
Governor McCord will be due tht
credit. Let the good work proceed
that the people may behold Arizona
grandest achievement.

THEIR RELATION TO THE MURDERER 8
MOVEMENTS.
This arrest is looked upon as an
important one and may figure as a
clue in locating Charlie Adams, the
gay bird who is charged with the
murder OF his aunt. The murderer
is believed to be staying on the New
Berlin mountain and switching over
TO kreamer occasionally. It ID
thought that the murderer was in
the vicinity of Kreamer the day that
Bird Adams, (nicknamed Doc and
Charlie Walker were there. 1t is
said that at that day three men we're
seen along the woods between John
Bickel's and Kresmer. One of them
had satchel. This 80 aroused some
OF the citizens that a number of
them armed themselves and secuted
through the woods armed with rifles
and revolvers for a whole day, but
found nothing. This is piece OF
detective work that would probably
not be sanctioned by the Regulars.
Just what can be found out from
these about the location OF Charlie
Adams is not yet known, but if
Walker saw Adams at all on that trip
to kreamer or at any other time, it
is believed he will confess. As to get
ting any information from Bird
Adams concerning the whereabouts
of his brother, there is as little hope
as getting rain on the desert of
Sahara.
RUMoRS GALORE.
All kinds of rumors are atioat con-
eerning the movements of the alleged
murderer Adams. Last week, it is
said, he was seen by ut least 50 peo-
pie near Cape May. He is said also
to have been seen at New Berlin
within the last week. The story runs
that Adams comes home at night
every week or so and that his moth
er prepares special meal for him
and he again escapes to the noun
tain. Ifthese stories are true, either
the detectives on the case are no
good or Charlie Alias Frank Adams
is too foxy for the detectives. But
wherever Adams is, We believe that
If Walker knows anything about the
habits and plans of the fugitive muir
derer, he will confess and give at
least q clue to tracing him up. AS
to the two prisoners in Jail, even if
they actually carried food to the fu-
gitive. We do no. believe they will be
found guilty of anything but the
first charge unless Landlord Thomas
has evidence he has not yet disclosed.
