PARADoXICAL as 1t may seem, there is a convict who wants to re- main in the territorial prison at Yuma the balance of his natural life. says the Globe Silver Belt. He was convicted of manslaughter at Prescott more than two years ago on circumstantial evidence which left some doubt of his guilt, and his attorney obtained a new trial for him, much against the prisoner s wishes, who fears he may be ac- quilted. He actually enjoys life at the prison, and if released says he would be at loss to know what to do with himself. This is a complete vindication of Yuma, which has long been pictured as the modern geienna to which the hapless soul after departure to the biblical hell sen ls back for blankets to warm its spectral body.

TIE "elbow" workers in Flagstaff are becoming so numerous that its hardly possible to walk along the street half-block without being importuned by the measly buns for money to buy food or whiskey with. If there is more miserable, low and dispicable bum in the universe than this class, who would rather starve than work for a llv- ing, we haven't heard of them yet. When a large, overgrown, fat, greasy, whining whelp of this kind rubs up alongside of you and commences his tale of woe, it should be the inn mediate duty of the one so pestered to perforate his hide with Gatling gun or be incarcerated himself for neglect.-Coconino Sun

We have several grades of ore in our work ings. There is fifteen feet of SEQ ore and several stringer5 ranging over the $1O0 mark. ."-Gazette.

IT would be hard to find an era, among any people, marked with more general prosperity than IS vouchsafed tc the United States to-day. Of course, individual cases ef hardship and poverty still exist but these were never so easily cur able-if the subjects really desire to be cured-as now. The only cases of irremediable discontent would seem to be those of politicians like Bryan, whose whole capital stock vanishes with the disappearance ot hard times.

CONVERSATION CAME HIGH.

MT. D.-of Boston, visiting in one of the small towns of Western Massachusetts, was taking spin shortly after his arrival, when he was run down (as he claimed) by a man and knocked off his bicycle. When he got on his feet again he was so angry that he picked up a stone and threw it with accurate aim at the offender This resulted in D-'s arrest and conviction in the local court of justice.
 q will fine you $5," said the judge; "have you anything to say?"
 "Nothing," replied D., un- modified, except that I wish 1 had killed the fellow"
 ''That remark will cost you $5 more," rejoined his Honor. D-'S temper was not improved by thi: fresh dispensation of justice.
 "Conversation seems to come higt in thls court" he observed.
 "Five dollars for contempt promptly responded the bench "have you anything more to say?'
 "I think not" answered the de fendant; "you have the advantag' of me in repartee."

THE newspapers have been pretty
 busy recording the number of in stances of the increase of wages and of the reopening of factories since the passage of the Dingley law. They have had a hard task to keep track of them all, but there is a harder task of them. They will be obliged now, and in a con- stantly increasing number of cases Tn the future, to turn their atten- tion to another phase of the pros porous times which have come to the country-viz., the building of new mills and the establishment of new industries.

THE protracted drouths in many sections of the country this year have called more than usual atten- ton to methods of artificial water ing. In fact, the art of irrigation is encroaching to a considerable extent into the domain of the humid zone. The experiments which the Government has been conducting in South Dakota have awakened there an intense interest in irriga- ton and its possibilities. At Fort Meade, in that State, the authorities have been sinking artesian wells, and instead of having to bore to a depth of 2,000 feet, as was anti cipated, splendid flow was en- countered at depth of 500 feet. It is generally believed that this is the average depth at which water will be found. and this being the case, farming in the Black Hills country will be actually revolution ized, that section with @ sure water supply, forming one of the most desirable agricultural fields in the West.
