The people Of the Casa Grande

poratlon ownership of canals, and
they are sick aud sore and tired
over the utter disregard shown
for their interests by the owners
as well as the courts while the
canal was in the hands of re-
celver. Instead Of having the
canal cleaned out and improved,
silt has beeu allowed to accumu
late until it carries barely half the
amount of water that originally
passed through it. The court was
urged to authorize the receiver TO
issue certificates and have the nee
essary work done, but in its wis
dom it refused the application, and
the result Is that almost total fail.

MINING SITUATION IN ARIZONA

In discussing the mining situa.

Gently said: "Itis a good thing
for the country fore very man to be
fair and impartial in his judgment
on the prospects. To be thorough
mining men, buy on their own
judgment but there is a great deal
of what might be termed "new
money" coming into the country
and the men who have this are
easily disgusted and no surer way
exists to do it than to observe dog
in the manager policy. Another
mining man who came to Prescott
with a view of buying a certain
property, speaking on this same
subject said that one would be
surprised if he were TO tell OF the
number people who had CARED
on him and ran down the parti,
cular property that be had in view
and would recommend something
that they were interested in. Be-
ing thoroughly familiar with his
business he said that the reports
did not bias him as he approved OF
rejected property soley on his
own judgment and what he found
in 1T. "There are those though
who simply become disgusted and
leave" he continued, sand these
people do not seem to realize that
in running down their neigbbor's
property they are hurting them
selves and the territory as well.'

A suicide Horse.

A strange suicide occurred IN
Yuma last night, the victim OF sell
destruction being big fine and
very valuable work horse belong
ing to councilman Harry Neahr.
The animal was taken suddenly
sick during the night and became
so crazed with pain that he broke
down the correl fence and made a
straight run for the river. Parties
who were watching him and try
ing to alleviate his pain, although
they did not know what ailed him,
expected to see him take a bath
as horses often do. But the poor
animal had no intention of swim
ming, as he made one frantic
plunge and never came TO the sur
face again.-Yuma Sun.

that is in most respects the same

The principal deciduous trees
that succeed IN the west are the

The public records OF the Church IN New
York containing the names Of ministers and
other church officers together with regular
register Of baptism. marriages etc. begin with
the year 1639 and. excepting the interruption
pccasioned by the Revolutionary War, have
been carried down and kept with great care &c

New-York took the place Of New-Amsterdam,
the Church retained all Of its former privileges.
The English. however. desired 10 conduct their
worship in their own language. but as
there was no suitable place for conducting SER
vices an arrangement was made by which the
church in the fort was used for the Church Of
