NATURAL HISTORY.
Some New Species Discovered
 and Classified.

Some New Species Discovered and Classified. The Phoenix correspondent of the i Williams News has been recently in- teresting himself ill the enticing study of natural history. He has extended his researches in the direction of the fauna peculiar to our own territory. and publishes accurate and full descrip- tions of two rare and interesting spe- cies. The scientific writer has labeled them plainly, so that the average read CT will have little or no difficulty in identifying either of these animals should they be met roaming at large. Following are the results of the latest research in this field:
 NO. 1.-THE FRANKLoNIAN INCUBUS
 This Is large animal. latarally considered You will notic" that it has been preserved in all eohOl for better keeping.

Director Devol. of the Arizona Agri- cultural Experiment Station wishes the attention of those who are growing sugar beets in the Territory called to the necessity of their exercising great care Tn their production of the crop Not only is Arizona making these tests to ascertain how we'll suited is the Ter. rltOry to the production of the beets, but nearly every state m the Union is giving more or less attention to this important industry this year. It is evident that sugar factories can not be located at every point in the UnIon where sugar beets are being tested and only those who are getting the best re'urns stands chance Of securing the sugar beet facIorIes. 1t IS therefore of the utmost importance that growers of sugar heets in Arizona should give the experiments with sugar beets this sea son thelr best care. The aim should not be to grow large beets, but well formed beets, weighting iron two to three pounds each. B+eto of this size are found richest in sugar and there. fore are worth more to the factory aud will attract most attention by capita. lists

The Patent Office Scandal.

The following circular has been sent out from Washington by Chester A Snow, prominent patent attorney oi that city:
 It is not remarkable that bll has been int O. duced in congress imposing heavy fine or i'm prisOnment upon alleged patent attorneys who offer medals and prizes q an indu"ement to ap ply for patent. A more taking scheme for ob. taining money has seldom been invented Thousands have been caught by it, and have lost. not OIly the money they hnve paid the at. torney ard the government. but, in jack-o lantern pursuit of fortune, in promised. but dev,r to be obtained atent. hlve stopped work and ev mortgaged or sold heir property The aggregate misery from this source is pathetic 10 cOntemI late,
 These attorneys have advertised far and vida that idess are patentable and have a commer cial and marketable value-a most delusive and hurtiul d ,cept on The sts of patents want ed, which they serd to stimulate invention, as matter 0f course, embrace classes in which there are already from ten to one hundred pat ents granted. Indeed. it is i'm possible to print a list of one hundrei inventions without men, tiOning a; le st ninety ne that have been each covered many ,Ht-,
 It is a Ri. d es> the part Of the government tO refuse tie grant of patent; aS 1t does ill nine caEcs in ten, to these d'luded applicants, f T the grantO a flimsy. worth ess patent for an m st b -Olete device wvud on involve the owner in flu ther fIu te e p,nse.
 All these attorneys have so-. 'ailed sale agency anneXes, and, under the pretence of being able to sell th patent, sil further fleece the poor men and won en by getting their money for ad- vertising Of course, they never sell, for the patents they procure ar weak and wOrthle S, a ard no on pos ed in the class of invention to which they pertain would accept them as gift.

Governor Franklin yesterday issued a proclamation offering $500 reward for the apprehension of August Chacon. the escaped murderer who was con- demned to death next Friday. The sheriff of Graham county has offered an sdditoonal reward of S200 making a total of $70O for his capture. That any reward shOnld have to be awarded by the territory is a sad commentary on the efficiency of the officials who hy their carelessness gave the prisoner an opportunity to escape. The governor is much incensed at being called on to offer reward. for escaped prisoners, as this is the third time he has been requested to do so within the past SIX weeks.-Gazetie.

It is reported on good authority that an efortis being made to have the land offices of Tucson and Prescott consolf- dated and located at rhoenix. This would be mistake and a great hard ship on the people of both northern and southern Arizona, and of little ma terial benefit to Phoenix or central Ali- zona, as all of the available lands ID that region have been entered. The growing agricult tural regIOns of Arizona are in Yuma. Pima CochIse and Graham counties of Southern ArIZona, and all tributary to the Southern Pacific rail road. Tucson is in the center of this Igon, and it would be a sore hardship for the people of Graham and Cochise counties to have tJ go such long dls- tance to secure their titles. Again is would be equslly expensive for the citi- zens of Apache, Navajo. Coconino and Mohave counties to have to come away down from the north to Phoenlx to prove up their titles. No; it would be unjust and a great hardship on the people Go compel them to travel hund- reds of miles to secure their titles to their homes. It might be all right for Phoenix, as 1t would give the town two more offices and the hotels some more patronage, but the people seeking to settle their titles would have to foot the bIlls.-Star

OUTLOOK FOR CATTLE.
Prices Climbing up to Some
 thing Remunerative.
IProspeet0r.I

Cattle continues to bring high prices and the demand is largelyin excess of the supply. While the cattle market, like all other affairs in the business world, cannot be stated with the de- gree of certainty, the indications are to the effect that the present high prices have come to stay. Tins section of the southwest is protiting largely by the revlYal in that industry and the cattle owners who two years ago were almost discouraged by continual ill-luck, are making new investments and pushing their interest with vim which is cer- tain to bring financial suecess.

He Gets Home.
 The following dispatch from Wash ingtOn to the Phoenix Gazette. under date of June l4. gives the situation of the Arizona governOrship at that time. The matter has probably been settled by the unanimous confirmation of Colonel McCord before this paper reaches it's readers.
 The senate had short executive session to- day but did not reach the name of M H. Me Cord. The Committee on Territories, however. unanimously reported his name to the sena' e for confirmation. Senator Bate, of Tennessee who asked tine to inv estigste, became thor Oughly sati fed that th- charges against McCnrd were grOundless, and informed General Wilson that he woul vote for McCord's confirmation, and advised Wilson to let the matter drop, as he could no secure vote in the senale against McCord Wilson, acting on this advice left Washington to-day ia disgu-t, saying he had been made fool of. and he proposei to res at t
 General Wilson said today before leaving this ci y that he had given up the fight "I see see nothing for me to reu,iu here {, IT. said he My mis ion was to secure the rejection of Me Cord, but the senate evidently refus to be ieye my people under oath. and McCord will grt every vot' in the senate ltis the most D, cu- liar proceeding I ever witnessed, bJt wash my hancs of the wh le affair, and will now trans act some rub ic business in Washington. when will return to my law practice in Arizona Thus ended the unfair and unjust contest against Colonel McCord.
 Colonel MGCOrd, when seen to-nigh', said ''The senate is very considerate body My case expect to come up any day, However, am in no hurry, and feel assured of c nirma- ton when my name comes up, hence I am not giving myself any troublc about the matter D
