NatuI al y, each real overseer has a separate and distinct idea of constructing or building road and the result is obviously un- desirable A superintendent of read would easily remedy this defect by laying out one general plan of actlon and although the roads may vary in dependant upon len7s tributary and amount of travel, ye5 the one general plan would be constantly in view and the accomplishments hal- lnonious.

AN ENGLISH JUDGE REBuKED
Twas Very Improper Sentence. ''
 Said the Convict.

London, Feb. 10.-The British judges of the high court have given some amazing exhibitions during the recent criminal assizes. Judge Ridley, after the passage of a law enabling the ac- cused to testify in his own behalf, rounded on a prisoner before he tegan his testimony, saying: Look here, know what you are going to say. It will be worse for you to proceed" He continued to hector the poor man in later speeches. and ended by the sen- tencing him to five years.
 It was the prisoners turn last week, when Judge Ridley, trying a case from the north of England, before sentencing the man had read a list Of previous convictions. He was as tonished to find that he had sentenced the same man five years ago. He said it must be a mistake that the ex-con- vict was at large so soon. The prisonsr answered.:
 T was released by your brother. Twas werry improper sentence.
 Judge Ridley is brother Of the home secretary. The latter had can celled the judges sentence.

argued on the part O. the appellant by
 Judge N. D. StOcker, and for the ap-
 police by MT. Robert E. Morrison. Tnls
 , one of the most important suits On
 the calendar in that it brings up a
 question never before considered by the supreme court Of the territory, the constitutionality of a verdict by three fOurths of the jury in other than statu- tory proceedings. The case itself is in
 teresting on account of the property involved and the manner in which the litigation arose.
 The Providence Gold Mining com pany made application in the land of fee at Prescott for q patent on the Yum Yum, Hillside and Francis min
 ing claims i'll the Big Bug district. The application was met by an ad- verse claim by Dennis Burke who con tended that it was in conflict with his interests in the Wizard mining claim. The ease was tried in the district court, as the statutes provide in cOntrover- sics Of this kind, and a jury disagreed. At a subsequent trial nine members of the jury found fer the contestant and the verdict. was accepted by Judge Sloan. An appeal was taken on the ground that this did not belong to the class of cases in which a three-fOurths verdict could be found. The appellee contends that this is precisely one of the cases intended for settlement In this way It was both a statutory and equitable proceeding, quite distinct from a common law trial in which the verdict of the jury must be unanimous. Judge Sloan in this case made the ver.~ dict of the nine mem 0ers his findings of facts. He could have set aside any part of the verdict or all of it, but he accepted it in it's entirety.
 The contention of the mining con- paDy at the trial was that Burke's in tecest in the Wizard claim had lapsed by reason Of failure to do assessment work An eleven foot shaft had been sunk by him upon the property A half dozen witnesses on his side swore that the work was worth from SIP to S15 foot. T;>? witnesses on the other side, all but,One employees of the com pany swore it was worth from s to 8 ! foot

AN AppEHL TO GOVERNORS
To Work Together for CesSion Of
 Public Lands.

Governor Murphy yesterday ad-
 dressed the following letter to the
 governors. of all. the states and terri tories of the arid region, asking for a
 concert in action in the matter Of
 memorializing congress on the subject
 Of a cession of the government lands in such states and territories:
 Sir: l think enc Of the most inn portant questions affecting the devel-
 cpment and progress of the western
 states and territories is the recl9ma-
 ton of the arid lands within their borders. The question has received much consideration from congress, but 1t has been impossible to secure con- gTessiOnal help based upon any specific and sufficiently comprehensive plan
 Different measures have been enacted and repealed, limited sessions Of land have been granted and prayers in pumerable have been made to con gress to appropriate money in large amounts for the construction Of dams, reservoirs and canals for the conserva- tion of water and the reclamation Of lands within the arid regions. So far, however, very little has been ac- cCmplished. There hasIpeen an un- willingness on the part of congress to appropriate money for these purposes, and one of the reasons given is that the great farming communities of the Mississippi valley and the middle west will net consent to be taxed to bring large areas of farming land into com petition with them; be that as it may, congress has failed to do anything and does not plead economy as the reason. Many claim, and l think correctly, that if it were decided to foster the work of reclamation under the direct super vision of some bureau of the govern ment, the location Of reservoir and canal sites and withdrawal of land under them pending constructions practically as provided by the act of October 2, 1888, subsequently, re- pealed-that such action would retard the development of the country inso- far as the usually slow work of the government, the difficulty of securing continuous appropriations, would pre- vent occupancy of the land proposed to be reclaimed for an indefinite period; for such reasons the act of October 2, 1888, was repealed It is be- lieved, also, that the official ma chinery and management would be unWieldly, and that conflicts of juris- diction and control between the states and federal authorities would result. I am firmly of the opinion that the conservation of water, it's distribu- tion and the reclamation (of land should be controlled by the local authorities, and Il believe the surest, best and quickest solution to the veXatiOus problem is for congress to enact 3 law ceding all the arid lands to the states and terri tories in which they lie. and leave tho question of development and reclama- 1

TERRITORIAL RANGERS.
An Experienced Texan Speaks Of the
 Proposed Organization

Captain John R. Hughes of Troop D, Texas rangers, is much pleased with the prospect of troops being organized in New Mexico and Arizona, and says ssthe territory should have had such an organization long ago. It is to the credit of any state or territory to en- pl0y an organized body e men to hunt down desperadoes and fugitives from justice and bring them before the courts where they can be given their just deserts If a troop of New MeXi- can rangers is organized, and George Scarborough is placed in command, it
 will not be two weeks before l will have two men whom l have been want ing for some time, and the country will be made too warm for many of the out law gentry It will be a great help to Arizona and Texas. As it is, if a fugi- tive in Texas can get over the New Mexican border, he is perfectly safe, as our men must quit at the line, while the outlaws do not. New, if there was a troop of New Mexico rangers, we could work in concert with them and rid the southwest of some very tough characters. Yes, by all means, let New Mexico have territorial rangers, and George Scarborough is the man to place in command of them.
 Captain Hughes is one of the most experienced criminal hunters in the southwest, and has been the means of cleaning west Texas cut of scores of very tough gentlemen. When Hughes is after a gang the outfit knows that it is time to leave the country, and they dc not stand upon any order of going, but go at Once.-NeW Mexican.

London, Feb. 10.-Evfdence received since the earIs death has been over whelming in favor of the organ grinder succeeding to the Pou' cit title. The fathers repeated assertion that he had separated from his wife immediately after the first sons birth proves to be false.
