McClure's for July.

McClure's magazine for July opens with a very complete and instruc- tive account of the automobile as it is seen today, no longer a matter ol mere promise or experiment. but one of practical, constant use; the arti- cle explains what it costs, how it is operated, and just what it will uU, setting foIth the respective advan- tages and disadvantages of the var lous kinds. And 1t is illustrated with pictures of all the more impor- tsnt types. The recent develop ments will be a surprise to most readers, although they have been effected almost under their eyes.
 A biographical sketch of Rudyard Kipling by his friend Professor Charles Eliot Norton, the only authorized account of Kipling's life ever given to the public, is another interesting contribution. And yet another IS MT. w. A. Erasers ac- count of the Soldier Police of the Canadian Northwest" illustrating very finely their exceptional skill, faithfulness, hardihood and bravery. Miss TarbelPs account of "Lincoln's Great Victory in 1864" supplies new illustration of the immense hold that Lincoln secured, by his wisdom, shrewdness, kindness, and honesty, on the faith and affection of the people; There is a generous portion of strong, wholesome, and yariously entertaining fiction in the number.

Compromise With the Railroad.

The Los Angeles Times of Satur- pay, contains the following in refer snce to the recent conference of Arizona officials and Santa Fe rail road officials on the matter of tax ation:
 Yesterday the Arizona officials who were here in conference with A. P. McGinniss, tax agent of the Santa Fe, reached a conclusion which is said to be very satisfactory to the officials. The road has been paying taxes on a valuation of 5000 per mile, but the payment has been made under protest, as the road claims to be exempt from all taxation under the terms of the act of con- gress granting a right of way to the Atlantic and Pacific, to which the Santa Fe IS successor. The officials are very 10th to lose the taxes paid by the railroad, as 1t runs through several Arizona counties total dis tance of 40 miles. The assessment was S2.2O0,0O0. The officials set up the contention that 10 refuse to pay these taxes on that part of the road would cripple the counties through which it passes. They and Mir McGinnis went over the school and other funds to see how they stood The result was a compromise by winch the Santa Fe agtces to pay taxes on a valua 3a ~' ..-., it  was before, or $25OU per miie, a total assessment of Sl, l,l0O000

STILL ON THE SEARCH
Watching the Canyon for the Camp Verde Murderer.-TwoM Men Ar
 rested on Suspicion.

The sheriff and posse still stays with the hunt for the murderer ot Rodgers and Wingfeld. As an eyi- dence that they do not intend glv- ing it up, for a while at least, they sent into Camp Verde last night for another stock of supplies. They have trailed the man into a canyon and have been unable 10 obtain trare oi him leaving 1t, so they are convinced that be must be in hiding there and are guarding the places of egress from it. The cam on IS full of caves and it is thought the murderer had provisions cached in some of these before committing the murder. The officers have teen advised that the murderer's right name IS Bishor aud that he Is cousin of Ollie Bishop. of Luna valley, New Mexico. Wade, AinswOrth, Crow and to-, other names he has been ! known hv. are aliases.
 In addition to the man arrested at ! Flagstaff. whose name IS not known, ] but who is known as the "pock marked" man, a man named Steele was taken into custody at Jerome this morning. Both of these men are known 10 have been with Bishop prior to the murder. The pock marked" man was also known to ] have purchased a pistol and a lot oi cartridges from man on Beaver creek. The cartridges were Peters smokeless powder, identical with those used in the commission of the murder The nan, 1t IS alleged, was seen in Jerome t4c -lS.a.ng alter | the murder.
 Steele, who was arrested today, has told conflicting stories since the murder. He at first denied knowing or ever having been with the man arrested at Flagstaff, but when con- ! fronted with certain evidence show l ing that be had been, he acknowi- edged It. He went out with the 1 first posse from Jerome and for some reason or other the sheriff sent him
 back. On h.s return 10 Camp Verde he reported having seen Wade tor ! Bishop) on his way in. He was sent out again to inform the sheriff but inc latter sent hun back again. The conflicting storIes told by him caused the officers to be suspicious | of him acd they concluded It might ! be best to arrest him.

NOT A FRIEND OF ARIZONA.

The New York Miuing and Engi- neering Journal, of recent date, published a letter received by 1t from W. A. Clark, of the United Verde mines at Jerome, congratulat- ing that journal for decrying the merits of the United Verde Exten- sion compauy's mines which sur roInd Mir. Clark's mine on three sides. or course Mir. Clark is de- lighted at anything that will tend to retard the development of these claims According to statements made by the owner of these claims Mir. Clark has thrown every obstacle imaginable In the way of his selling this property. Mir. Clark does not want another big copper producer established so near his camp and hints have been thrown out that he may have other reasons for not wanting these properties developed. Bs that as it may there is no doubt that he has never done anything to encourage another company in get ting a foothold on the north slope o' the Black Hills range. In the letter of MT. Clark quoted by the above peper he says:
 "You have done more than any other journal 10 expose fraudulent schemes"
 II he had said tha. the Engineer ing and Mining Journal had done more against mines in Arizona in general than any other paper he would have struck the nail squarely on the head. That journal has been uniformly a bear on Arizona proper ties. It is true tat 1t has called at tention 10 a number of swindling propositions snd 1t is equally true that the only property that it ever boomed in the territory was one of the rankest failures-not to say fakes that ever occurred in the territory in mining circles. Under the per sistent booming of the Engineering Journal the stocks went up to a good price and then the thing col lapsed entirely and has never been heard of since. If the Journal would have more good words to say or the mining interests in general in Arizona, its expose of swindles would be more appreciated, but for about the only thing to appear in it con- cernirg the territory being of an ad verse nature, 1t naturally gives the impression to its readers that every thing in the way of mining in Ari- zona is fraudulent.

A Desert Mystery.

A south bound freight arriving at Wickenburg on Tuesday bore dead body. It had been found by track walker about fifty feet from the track. lying in the creek practically submerged. As soon as the corpse was found a telegram was sent to Congress and a justice of the peace boarded the freight. The body was put on the freight and taken to Wickenburg and then sent back to Congress for an inquest to be held on 1t. The remains were those of 8 man apparently a prospector, about fifty years of age. partially bald and rather thin. There IS a variety ot of opinions regarding the cause of death. It was at first thought that the man had been drowned. Bruises or the side of the head and discolor- ations suggested that he had been thrown from a train. or that there had been foul play. Still others be- lieve that death had resulted from natural causes.-Repbuiican.

Ben Clay Married.

Ben Clay recently took a trip to Wichita, Kansas, ostensibly to buy hogs for the Jerome market, and there was nothing strange about that. The car load of hogs arrived all right, but Ben did not appear He came Thursday, however, and was accompanied hy a charming bride whom he had married on the 27th day of June in Wichita.
 The bride is a sister of E. A. Tovrea, who is Mir. ClaY's partner in the butcher business. She form erly lived in Phenix and kept books for her brother who was engaged in business there. It was there that MT. Clay met her and the romance began.
 MT. Clay was raised in Arizona from a boy and is respected by all. He bears an enviable reputation and is a shrewd business man. He owns property in different parts of Ari- zona and succeeds in anything he undertakes.

Mayer and the Onyx Mines.

Onyx mines had always somehow suggested Mexico and brown-skinned toilers and the white ships that go out from port with tons of the pinky- striped rock for ballast. Our imag- ination had confined the onyx oi Arizona 10 certain beautiful pieces that served as paper weights and to the huge blocks piled beside the railroad track at Prescott.
 The sun was sparkling in the little pools along the railroad and heecY clouds threatening another shower when We hailed the down-comlng Prescott X Eastern train at siding ''just on the edge of nowhere, anl set out like Columbus on a voyage of discovery. It would be quite safe to say that the P. X E.. road runs through some of the prettiest scenery in Arizona, certainly south of the | high mountains at least.
 To be sure it must divide tLe beauty of Point of Rocks with the | s. F., P. tS F. but that is no less to either and the long rIbbon-llke stretch of Lonesome valley with the Black Hills bordering belongs 10 the shorter line alone. From Cherry We plunged into the foothills, every little knoll dotted with burrOwing prospect holes ard half buried ID dumps. There's the MOntezumai there's the Swindler; the Lone Pine is just over that hill; here is Big Bug on the right, and so on till our iu- terests were absorbed in the pros pect of seeing the train turn round ou the Y at Mayer, feat to ouI feminine comprehension not unlike standing on its head.
 Mayer IS a pretty little group oi houses nestling under the very shadow of the onyx cliffs. There was no need to say Where IS the ninei" for it was ali around us; big striped cliffs 'saning 10 the edge oi the little stream so near the road that one wonders years passed be fore anyoae guessed their value Now they are pitted with holes here and there aud prospects all aiops the face showing rough onyx IT many colors.

Our merchant marine has been getting its share of the rising tide of prosperity. The total output oi American ship yards for the fiscal year ending June 30, was larger than in any year, excepting 1891, for a quarter century. During last year we built l429 vessels of 320, 1876 gross tons, while Great Britain built 154g of 1890, ll6 tons. We are right after the leader m ship-buildiDg, and fl we keep up our present rate of in- crease we will in the near future take the lead. If We can go ahead at this rate under existing condi- tions, we shall fly when congress provides for aiding our merchant marine.

Surgeon Sternberg's Recommend
 alton,

Surgeon General Sternberg ha: made an official report to the war de partmeut recommending that Fort Bavard. \. M., be set aside as a ssnitarium for consumptives of the army. as the result of his recent m. spection of that post.
 There are now six companies ol infantry at Fort Bayard, and Surgeon General Sternberg will rec ommend that all but one company be removed and that the barracks and officers quarters thus vacated be set aside for patients.
 Ills says the post is 6.OOO feet above sea level, and its dry climate IS just the thing to benefit consumptlves Many army men now al soldiers homes will be sent to Fort Bayard He further states that the best m formed members of the medical pro- fessiou believe it dangerous to keep persons affected with tubercoIosis with healthy individuals, and better far all that they should be isolated and undergo the splendid climatic treatment they will received al for' BayaTd.

The Naked Man, Praver

Hastings, England, has a free circus every day at noon. At that hour an old gentleman parades in the front garden of his fine residence, perfectly naked
 except for a loin cloth, turban and sandals. The turban and sandals blaze
 with jewels. He prostrates himself be-
 fore little pagoda, wherein squats an ugly idol with diamond eyes. There is always a crowd to watch these devo- tions. If one questions the old gentle
 man he answers, testify: What am
 doing, eh? I'm praying for the conver- sion of this benighted land to Bud dhism. That's what I'm doing"

A FLAG INCIDENT.

With the possible exception Of

whatever fate it may lead, men
who love the flag and are ready
to die for it.

Of our people the principles which
the Stars and Stripes represents.
Today there passed through our
streets the battle flag of the Oath
regiment borne by Serg't. Hayes
who, advancing mid a rain of
bullets that cut down brave men
who followed him, planted the flag
on San Juan hill. Men fought for it,
men gave up their lives beside it.
The tattered edges tell the story
of the Mauser deadly song that
hummed around it, stilled only by
the valor of patriotic fighters, at
the cost of bonored lives and suf-
fering that was worse than death.
There was an emblem which of
all others seen in our streets cpl
tonized the courage of our soldiers
in fighting for the human rights
Of others, thu dignity, power and
honor of our nation. Yet as this
flag passed along the streets how
many boys and men paid the de-
ference of merely doffing the hat,
how many gave evidence of recall
ed what that flag stands for and at
what cost the liberty of the Amer
lean citizen has been bought
They were few il any.
Such will continue to be the
indifference with which the flag
is regarded, while csrping tongues
and weak minded men can find
am usement in making our national
emblem and patriotic enthusiasm
the subject of passing jest and
vulgar buffoonery.
