REPORT OF EXPERT.

YUMA, A. T.; March 27th, 1897. HON. J. w. DORRINGTON,
 Foreman Grand Jury, Yuma, A. T
 SIR.-I, H. w. McKean, your expert appointed to examine and audit the accounts of the various county officials of Yuma county, Arizona for the two years ending December 3lst, 1896 have the honor to report as follows:
 That have audited the records of the treasurer's office for the above mentioned period and find them cor rect, The amount of cash on hand December 3Ist, 1896, Gas shown by said records), was $27, ,678.63, which amount less sum of $715.00 has been turned over by Ex-Treasurer F. $. Ingalls, to his successor, Charles H. Rise and receipts therefor filed in the office of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. Pending settlement of the $715.00 which is still due the county by MT. Ingalls, have instruct ed the present treasurer, MT. Rise to carry same in Suspense Account" charging said amount to MT. Ingalls, until paid.
 Owing to lack of time allowed by your honorable body I have not as yet been able to audit any accounts of other officials.
 ! I desire to call your attention to Par No. 523, Sec. 3, of the Revised Statutes and state that that portion of same which requires the filing of receipts issued by the treasurer with the Clerk Of the Board of Supervisors, has in some instances, not been com piled with, I would suggest that the Board be instructed to see that this is done in the future. I would also re- commend that additional facilities for the filing and preservation of records in the office of the Clerk of the Board be furnished as those Tn use at present are entirely inadequate for proper care to be taken of same. I have the honor to remain.
 Very Respectfully,
 H. w. MCKEAN.

Beaming with Smiles.

Are the countenances of people who have found speedy and thorough relief from malarial, kidney, bilious, dyspep- tic or nervous troubles through the aid of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Such countenances are very numerous. So are letters from their owners at testing the efficacy of the great family medicine. Among the signals of distress thrown out by the stomach, bowels and liver in a state of disorder, are sick headache, heartburn, nausea, loss of appetite, sallowness of the skin and eyeballs, and an uncertain state of the bowels. They should be needed at once. If the Bitters are resorted to, the woe begone look which accompanies sickness will give way to cheerful looks produced by renewed health. If you are drifting on the coast of disease, throw an anchor to windward by summoning the Bitters to your assistance. It will keep you in safety.

YUMA, March 27th, 1897.


 J. w. DORRINGTON,
 Foreman of Grand Jury.
 We, the undersigned committee ap- pointed to investigate the Recorders and Sherif's Offices, would respect fully submit this our report. We find the office of Recorder conducted in very creditable manner. All books are kept in way that it leaves noth- ing to be desired UT suggested by this Committee. We find however that the office needs the following articles and would recommend, that they be supplied: l desk roll top, 6 office chairs, l large table for Supervisors, 1 file for vouchers, tax receipt books exparte blanks, etc, 1 Record Book 6le, and new map of town of Yuma, and we would further recommend that book safe be provided, as we find the present capacity of safes in adequate.
 In regard to the Sheriff's office we find that Yuma County is not repres- ented to great extent, as to furnl- ture and fixtures that should pertain to Sheriff's office. We deem 1t ab- solutely necessary that safe be provided for the use of the office. As there are records of value, books and papers that would be an irreparable loss to the County if such safe is not provided. We would recommend that the Supervisors purchase one high desk, that is in the office, the property of the Sheriff. We would also recom- mend the constructions Of high rail ing, which to connect with the desk would partition the Sheriff's office to be located as the Sheriff suggests. We would also recommend that high desk be constructed, containing pigeon holes and cabinet to contain papers, books, etc, to be placed on the east side of room, extending from window to the Southeast corner of said room. We regard it as necessary that there should be a partition in the office, thus afording degree of privacy in the handling of papers and other business pertaining to the office.
 Respectfully submitted.

 the Picacho and other districts along this "Nile of the West" With it's warm dry climate, and it's great river navigable the entire year, Picacho is coming to the front as one of, if not the best and most important mining center upon the Pacific Coast. The
 best mining men in the west have become interested, after having visited the mines and most carefully inyes- tigating the value of the ore, and all the conditions of mining and milling the same, and they agree in the one opinion that Picacho has no equal Tn the west, even if it has in the world, its bodies of ore, in extent and value, that of any other section now known.

DAN STUART PASSES THROUGH
 YUMA.
He Says C0rbett was an Easy Game fer FitzsimmOIS and Thinks Kid Mccoy is the Likeliest Candidate for Heavyweight Championship HOnOrS.

Dan Stuart, the sport and great promoter of Prize fighting, was pas senger on Tuesday evenings express for his home at Dallas. Texas, after having made a success of the great ett-Fitzsimmons battle at Carson City, New, on St. Patrick's Day.
 Stuart is not particularly elated over the outcome of the big Carson fight. The attendance was not as great as it should have been, and the receipts fell far below the figures cal culated upon. This, explained MT Stuart, was principally due to the greed of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, the officers of which, seeing that they had something like cinch refused to make reasonable rates from Pacific Coast points. Return tickets from Chicago were sold for $70, while $50 was charged for the round triE from Los Angeles. This high com parative rate from Coast points, Stuart declares, kept at least 4o00 people away from Carson.
 Speaking of the fight, the noted Texan said: "Talk as you please, you can't find man anywhere at the o,oeoo+ +;,,,o ubo ,,,o,,I1 havo apy chance with Fitzsimmors. It would be simply exercise for him to beat Corbett to death Tn four rounds. Of course, Bob didn't know this when he faced the California on St. Patrick s day. He really had no idea what an easy game he had, and accordingly made waiting and careful fight. He didn't propose to take any chances. He saw the opening for his finishing body blow as early as the third round, but didn't deliver 1t because he feared it might-have been made for the pur- pose of drawing him on. In the elev- enth it showed up again, and this time Fitz, feinting with his right, and caus- ing Jim to throw his guard up, shot his big mauler into the San Francis can's ribs. It was jolt that took the heart out of MT. James J., though it wasn't anything like the one which finished him in the fourteenth, when the willy Cornishman, certain that he was taking no chances, threw all his strength into one blow, and sent home the finisher. Boys, you can't lick this fellow Fitzsimmons-nOt now, not yet, but wait In two years I'll show you a fighter who will just about take care of the Australians case. Who is he? Why, who could he be but Kid Mo Coy? Just wait until the Kid gets a little heaver and you'll see him take few kinks out of Mir. Fitzsimmons, or any other heavyweight in the world. l have been passing empty plates so long that I have about made up my mind to let fighters alone, but would like to get the Kid and Fitz together. It would be worth looking at, and there might be an odd nickel or 80 in it."

yol;po certain repairs per

] SdIlG- ON'SN Labor on seats, hooks, etc.. ll.5O Total, .......- ....... po|o.4o As regards small school house, we find no defects but think, to the best of our judgment, that same could have been done more economically.
 We also find that such repairs that has been done on or about school house, were necessary repairs and we found bills for all that had been done and to the best of oar knowledge all work was procured at least possible expense.
 We find that in examining the main school house that the plastering in the new portion which has just been finished is in very bad condition and in some places dangerous, for the reason of it's being liable to fall at any time, also the black boards are in q very bad condition and need repair ing before being used much more. A great many of the seats are loose and for that reason are coming to pieces. we would suggest that they be over hauled.
 In regard to supplies for the school, such as wood, ice, etc, we find that all of same has been purchased at the prevailing market price.
 We also ind that there is $SO0.41 in ths special tax fund of School district No. l
 Your committee also beg leave to report in regard to investigation of offices and books of Justice oi Peace, as follows.
 In examining the books and offices of Justice of Peace we find that great deal of carelessness has been exercised in conducting same and thereby causing avoidable expenses to the county which could be averted. We find great many cases on the books that have no evidence to con vict party or parties arrested.
 We also recommend that the Dis trict Attorney of Yuma County be instructed to examine the cases more thoroughly than has been done here tofore, also that it be arranged that the office of District Attorney be located in or about the Court House so as to be in close proximity to same that he may be able to give closer attention to all matter appertaining to court business.
 All of which is respectfully sub mitted for the consideration ot this Grand Jury for it's approval or re- jection as it may find.
