People who have suffered for months or
years from the pain and inconvenience of
that common disorder, piles, will look with
skeptlcism upon the claims of the makers of
the new discovery for the cure of all forms
of piles, known as the Pyramid Pile Cure;
nevertheless the extraordinary cures per-
formed by this remedy are such as to war
rant the investigation of any sufferer. AS a
case in point the following letter speaks for

Physicians recommend the Pyramid Pile
Cure because It contains no opium, cocaine

II is so safe and pleasant to use, being pain

The compromise effected recently between W. A. Clark and Duke, Sherman and others, in the litiga- ton oveE mining properties near Jerome, means much for that DOT tion of this county. Uuder the terms of the compromise it is stated that W. A. Clark, among other ad- vantages, obtains a site for new smelter, on ground much more fav- orable for such a plant than the present location. This fact naturally raises the presumption that it is the intention at no very distant day to remove his plant to this location This presumption is confirmed by the fact that be has already made a survey for the extension of his rail road to that point. The properties, which have been tied up for several years, will now be worked sctivelyi It is generally believed, and belief which is said is largely shared by W. A. Clark, as we'll as others, that this group promises to become a rival of the United Verde mine in the extent of its mineral deposits. It is confi- dently expected that within a few years one of the largest towns in the territory will be built up at or near the present town Of Jerome.

 The best legal talep: of the coun- try was engaged in the legal com bat which was wsged during all these years.

The former has been connected with the case from its inception, and Mir. Brooks came into 1t later.

The passage and approval of the law compelling voters henceforth to pay a poll tax before being permit ted to register, has many advocates for and against. However, it will decrease the voting strength very heavily Of all counties in Arizona and affect to great extent the proposi- tion of sizing up the political horo- scope of many communities in the territory. There is no doubt from the stand point of purity in election doings it will work a great change, and throw aside an element that bi- ennially shows up for what there is in it. One thing is certain to result from the new law, the intelligent classes of voters will rule if the law is followed out as enacted.
 It is hinted that Gov. Gage may call an extra session of the California legislature to elect a United States senator.

per Company, the claims were as follows: The Champion mill site. the Equator, the Gambetta, Iron
 King, West Iron King No. 2, the
 PennsglvaRia and Champion. Each
 party owns other adjoining claims not involved in the litigation.
 Among these was the West Cham plon No. 2 owned by W. A. Clark to

 by Schuerman and not adyersed.
 Several of the claims owned by the Jordan party cover substantially the same territory and embrace the
 Equator and Copper Chief. conflict where the principal developments were.
 The settlement recognizes the title in the Jordan party to the Iron King and Champion claims, and also recognizes the West Champion No. ?, the Iron King being many years prior to the Bear, Lion and Snow Flower with which it conflicts, and the Champion also being prior to the Lion with which 1t conflicts.
 These three claims form a com pact group, substantially bounding the Copper Chief and the U. s. on the east. The settlement, however, provides that the boundary line be- tween the.tw groups be a plane 30 feet west of the Copper Chief east side line, extending from the south end of the Copper Chief to the west side line of the West Champion No. 2, and that neither party should cross this line in underground work ings. The result of the running of this line is to cut of from the west side of the West Champion No. 2 a piece of ground about 2 acres in ex- tent and which thereby falls to and his party, and to take from the Copper Chief and the west end of the Lion a piece of ground almost exactly the same in 1 extent which falls to the Jordan party. The use of the territory on one side of these lines claims with | the boundaries straightened in the manner mentioned goes to Schuer- mans party.
 The Equator claim is abandoned, | the entire ground being patented | under other titles.
 The water of Silver spring, which | is said to be abundant for supplying power for two plants of machinery, is retained by the Schuerman party, subject to the rights of the Jordan party to use one-half thereof. The Jordan party are also given surface rights for dumping ground and ma ,hinery on piece of ground lnclud- ng the east end line of the Lion md Snowfower and a portion of the north end of the End Line.

Buckley O'Neill's friends and Pres colt have to thank the council for failure to get the monument appro- priation. There was not a moment last night when the house would not have granted the subdivision of the appropriation bill providing for that fund. If the council had not at tempted to repudiate an honest debt of the territory and persisted in do- ing so on the lead of as pretty a spirit as ever displayed itself in any public body.-Phenix Herald. The above version is distinctively one of placing a balky horse before smooth sailing cart, and it IS given out flat footedly that the defeat of the monument bil is due directly to the Maricopa delegation in the as- sembly. It Is also stated that Yav- apai on this as we'll as other ques- tions affecting it's interests had the everlasting and earnest support of but two representative citizens of Maricopa county, and they were Messrs. John Dunbar and A. E. Hinton. Both of these gentlemen are broad and liberal. Their field was narrow and contracted.

SUIT AGAINST A COURT.
The Crowned King Company Applies
 for Writ of Prohibition.


 An interesting procedure was iu @ troduced into supreme court yesteT- day by an application for a writ of prohibition in a case whose title is The Crowned King Mining Com pany, George F. Harrington and Noah C. Sheckles vs. the district court of the Fourth judicial district and O. F. Place. The proceeding IS an unusual one and is unlike any ever begun in this territory.
 Place, the defendant, and Hsr- ringtou and Sheckels of the appli- cants are the owners of the Crowned King mine, which has been in litiga- ton here and in Illinois, where the company was incorporated, for the last seven years Place began suit against the company and his part ners, alleging a mismanagement of the property, the fraudulent and pretended issuance of stock, the illegal election and meeting of a board of directors and the payment by the partners to themselves Of $500 a month each as joint superin- teudents. lie asked fer the appoint ment of a receiver. 1t was also al- legged that the management of the property consisted of an attempt to gut the mine by taking out the rich est ore and it is pointed out that ID spite of the marvellous strike of three months ago, no dividend has since been declared.
 The defendants pleaded a want of jurisdiction in the case on the ground that the company was a for eign corporation. Judge Sloan, passing upon the plea, decided that though the defendant was foreign corporation, 1t had complied with the laws of tbe territory and be ac- cordingly took jurisdiction. The case has not been tried yet, but the defendants have taken a shorter route than by an appeal, in the sp- plication for a writ restraining Judge Sloan from proceeding with the case. Should the application be denied an appeal from the decis- ion will probably be taken to the supreme court of the United States. Should 1t be granted the case will be transferred to the Illinois courts. In any case there is a prospect of indefinite litigation ahead.-Repub- lican.

LITIGATION ENDED.
The Long Drawn Out Mining Suits Involving Title to Claims Near
 Jerome, Settled al Last.
The Suits Dismissed in the District Court Monday-Terms of the Compromise Agreed
 Upon.

One of the most celebrated cases of mining litigation in the history of this territory was settled yester- day in the district court here. The title of the original case was T. E Jordan ct al vs. John Duke, and in the litigation which has developed since the names of other plaintiffs and other defendants have appeared
 but the real parties behind it all were W. A. Clark, the multi-milliouaire of the United Verde Copper Con- pany, on one side, and E. $. Hayden and 4. F. MigeoD, wealthy men of Connecticut, on the other, the orig inal parties being lost sight of.
 On May l3, 1891, John Duke and W. H. Ferguson applied for patent in the United States land office for the Copper Chief mining claim. During the sixty days period of pub lication required, an adverse claim was filed by F. E. Jordan ct al, claiming conflict with the Equator claims, claimed by them. The case was transferred from the land office to the courts where 1t has been ever since, having been carried through all the territorial courts and finally reaching the supreme court of the United States, when a compromise was effected, as a result of which the records of the district court were yesterday cleared of these cases, by their dismissal.
 While the original suit involved onl ' the above two claims, during the eight succeeding years apphca- tions for patent for other mines have been filed by both parties, only to be met by adverses and transfers to the courts.
 The properties affected by this which has been before the court in one form or another since 1891 are, on the part of Schuerman and the parties interested with him, the Tough Nut, Wonderful, Copper Chief, West Copper Chief, U. s. Bear, Lion and Snow Flower lodes. On the part of the Jordan parties, the interests of whom are now to be owned by parties in the United Verde Cop

the Phenix Republican. The cases
 were settled by stipulation, the terms
 of which were agreed to some time
 ago, but which are not now made
 public. 1t is said, though, that the
 parties are nearly equally benefited
 by the compromise. The territorial
 supreme court met yesterday after
 noon at 2:30, the hour to which it
 had adjourned for the purpose of acting upon a telegram from the clerk of the United States supreme court, announcing that these cases
 had been dismissed. The telegram
 had not been received when court was convened and another adjourn ment was taken until five o'clock when the telegram was at hand. The cases were then formally dis missed from the territorial supreme court and sent on their backward journey to the court in which they originated. They were all begun, of course, in Yavapai county, but some of them were tried in this county and one in Pima county.
 The expense attending the litiga- tion has been enormous. W. A. Clark was known ts be backing Jordan and at first, from the lavish in the defense, it was surmised that Clark's old and power full enemy, Marcus Daly, was behind Duke and Schuerman. It transpir ed, however, that Daly never had any interest in the fight. Beside leading attorneys of Yavapai and Pima counties ranged on one side or another, two of the most skilled mining lawyers in the coun- try were retained. F. E. Corbett of | Butte, Mont, for the several plaint- ifs and F. c. Brooks of Colorado l Springs, for the several defendants. i
 Tbere were several issues involved, l the principal of which was the ques- ton of priority of location of the | contested claims.

The claim was located seventeen years ago and very little work done on it, but has lain idle ever since until re- gently when Mir.
