SOMETHING NEW IN ARIZONA
Glendale Visited by Wind Storm, Which Night be Classified as
 Small Tornado.

The following telegram was receiv-
 ed at this office on Sunday from
 Glendale, Saturday night at 9:l5 p.
 m., Glendale: Nine miles north of
 Phenix, was visited by severe thun-
 der, lightning and rain storm, border
 ing on a cyclone, demolishing the
 large, corrugated ware house, owned
 by Mir. Silva, which contained about 5000 bushels of grain, consisting of
 barley and wheat; also entirely de- stroying the large brick warehouse owned by the Glendale Hardware and Lumber company, containing about fifty tons of baled hay and a large amount of agricultural implements. It also destroyed a large stock barn belonging to A. W. Bennett. There were no fatalities as far as learned. The railroad depot was surrounded by a fine grove of pepper trees, which were very badly damaged. The storm came from the south and was first severe rain and thunder storm, and the cyclone followed this without any warning. The storm lasted one hour and p minutes, and ] inches of rain fell, being the heaviest storm known here for years, and the first cyclone ever known in the territory.
 Parts of the warehouse were carried oyer half mile from the city and styewn all over the railroad yards and that there was no loss of life is re as the force of the wind drove timbers clear through the sec ton house and at the time there were several people in the house. The loss to the parties owning the warehouses and the stable is hard to estimate, as the grain was thoroughly soaked and also the hay. As for the damage to lhe agricultural implements, it will first be necessary to clear away the debris before an estimate can be made. Reports from surrounding country say no damage done to crops and fruit, as the storm confined itself to the town almost exclusively, and within a radius of two square miles outside of there it was only a severe rain storm.

MINES IN
 BIG BUG
A JOurnal-Miner Man Sees Some 
 Things in the Above District Which Look Very Encouraging.
A Wonderful Transformation Produced There in the Last Few Years by Mine Development, and the Transformation Process Still in Progress.

If Frank McCabe could look in on the growing mining camp that now bears his name, he would open his eyes in wonder at the sight before him.
 Every stroke of the miners pick out there since the day he located the great McCabe property, has been one of the means of showing to the world that Arizona is a wonderful mineral country and that the Big Bug dis trict is not one of the least of her store houses.
 The work being carried on at the McCabe mine, great as it is, is but fraction of what is being done in that district.
 The McCabe Extension property shows some of the quick re- suits to be had, when enterprising men take hold of property. Where only few months ago was growth of chaparral brush now stands good shaft house with fine hoisting equip ment, alongside of which IS to be seen a magnificent office and board ing house, that tells of the prosperity that has come, those who have long had confidence in the illimitable uni versal wealth within the bounds of our territory.
 Standing on the veranda in front of the Extension Co.'S office, may be seen wonderful scope of rich min eral country. To the right down Galena Gulch you can look on to the ground of the old Silver Belt and adjacent claims, more or less devel oped, while directly below and in front of you may be seen the thriving mining camp which is quite the me tropolis of the Big Bug district. To the left and further up the slope may be seen the Little Jes- sic, the Dividend, Rebel, Kicker, Me Cabe, Gladstone and Cleveland mines. and just over the hill a little farther to the left is the Gopher and the | Poland-Hamilton group. Is not this a sight to gladden. the heart of any one who has staked his all in Arizona? All of these properties either have been or are sure to be wealth pro- ducers, and we believe the day is not far distant when the State of Arizona will be at the head of the column of producing states.
 The Extension people have some very fine looking specimens of ore taken from their main shaft, which is now down about 130 feet. They have several other places Of development started, two on the Blind Girl claim and one at the lower end of the George Washington, all of which show up good quartz lodges. This property must soon be good producer or our eyes deceive us.
 They have over a dozen men at work putting the finishing touches on the new building and are expecting some eastern friends and stockholders to pay them a visit soon. We predict that they will be more than pleased with what has been accomplished by the wide awake managers of that company. Success to them.

Mining Intelligence.

Almost daily news comes of new
 and rich strikes in the wonderful
 Groom Creek section. A few days
 ago the Love brothers, who only a
 short time ago located some claims in
 that section, brought some samples of
 ore to Prescott that certainly look
 good. These gentlemen began sink
 ing on ledge that gave some evi-
 dences of value, but the ore stringers,
 of which there were three, were only
 a few inches wide to begin with.
 Sinking was continued on them, how
 ever, and as depth was reached they
 widened out until now, at depth of about fifty feet, they have run to- gether, forming a solid ore body over three feet in width and running splen did values In gold, silver and lead. It is the opinion of good miners who have examined the ore that the Love brothers have an immensely rich mine. They certainly are in district where such things are to be looked for.
 W. A. Case, for two years in the employ of the fortuna Mining com pany, is in Tucson today, says the Tucson Citizen. MT. Case says the Fortuna has attained a depth of 12O0 feet. On the 9O0-foot level a 12-foot body of free milling gold rock is be- ing mined, and from the bottom of the working shaft drift is being run to cut the ore body 300 feet lower. Mir. Case exhibited some specimens from the 900-foot level that are thoroughly permeated with gold, and he says they are fair samples of the ore body. The Fortuna is the prop erty of c. D. Lane, of California, and has produced during the last five years an average of S75, 900 per month with 20-stamp mill and while the ore body at the 900-foot is not as ex- tensive as that on the upper levels, the quality has increased to that ex- tent the mine is more productive than when the ledge was twenty feet in width. Some people have been known to assert that Arizona mines do not "go down" but when a free milling proposition has reached a perpen- dicular depth of 120O feet, improving as depth is attained, and giving every indication that the ore body will continue to go down, croakers will have to admit that their "knocks" were mercenary and not predicted upon any superior knowledge of the country or of mining. In the vicinity of Fortuna are a great number of and some of them are being handsomely rewarded for theil energy. Henry Blune, a railroad l man, who is well known in Tucson, has struck it rich. Mir. Blune owns adjoining the Fortuna group and the other day when he had sunk shaft to depth of fifteen. feet | he ran into red schist that returned | an assay of Sl62 per ton gold.

It Was Murder.

Last evening Sheriff W. A. Smith and Justice of the Peace Will Welsh returned to Gallvp from Fort Wingate where they had gone to investigate the death of Al Morrison and the burning of the store building of John Woodgate on Monday evening. On examination of the body of Morrison they found a bullet hole in his head, and from all they could learn the murderer had relieved his victim of money and a watch. It isssupposed that the murder was committed Mon day night in the store after the man had retired, and the building fired for the purpose of covering up all signs of foul deed. The sheriff, who has his suspicious, is now at work un- raveling the mystery, and is confident of landing the murderer behind the bars in short time.-Albuuuerque Citizen.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

In deciding that dismounted officers in active service should carry car pines, instead of swords, the British military authorities have set an ex- ample that is likely to be followed in all armies. In modern fighting the sword is simply a useless incum- brance.
 It cost Washington hotel keeper part of one forefuger and thumb to learn that it is dangerous to try to re- move the contents of a dynamite car fridge with pencil.
 Instead of preparing for war with some country, the European gossips now have the Car preparing to give France king in the person of one of the young Napoleons, who is an officer in the Russian army.
 Dan Lamont is the latest man talk ed of for democratic candidacy for the presidency. Wonder if he would re- ciprocate if elected by appointing Grover Cleveland his private secre- tary.
 Work is in progress organizing a corporation capitalized at S75,0O0,OO0 for the control of the California oil product and to maintain better prices. The celebrated banker, I. W. He'll man, is spoken of as fnancier of the corporation. There is no question that way will be found to solve the oil problem, which is now at low ebb in that state, and that remunerative prices for oil will be obtained. One of the best evidences of the future of oil is found in the fact that the Stan dard Oil company is still active in putting up tanks for the storage of oil

TOlSTOl ON DEATH.

Count Tolstoi has so far recovered from his severe illness as to be able to sit up. Speaking of his near ap- proach to the shadow of the valley he said to friend: ''I did not recognize those around me distinctly, seemed to be slipping softly but surely into beattitude Now, there is a painful impression of returning through bogs and quagmires to terrestrial existence. I regret every moment of time be- tween this world and the next. will write something on the subject to teach men that death is not terrible, because there is another and better life"

4 ROYAL ENTERTAINMENT.
Dake's Opera House Last Night the Scene of a Brilliant Social Gather ing, From Prescott and
 Iron Springs.

Mir. and Mrs. J. H. Emmert and MT. and Mrs. H. P. Anewalt gave one of the most brilliant social entertain ments at Dake's opera house last evening that Prescott has witnessed for months. The opera house was most beautifully decorated for the oc- casion, the colors being red and white. Streamers of the former color were suspended across the hall, while cur tains of the latter color were placed over all the windowsof the hall, while Indian rugs of the red and white were banked around the room and a num- Der of plants also added beauty to the scene. The decorations and fur nishings gave theplace disappearance of handsomely furnished parlor of private residence rather than of a public hall, the artistic arrangement displaying unmistakable evidence that it was the work of ladies.
 The hosts and hostesses of the evening recelVeu the guests as they entered, and shortly after g o'clock the music started and dancing was indulged in. The music was furnish. ed by an orchestra of four pieces from Phenix and was exceptionally good. During the interim between dances they played several numbers which elicited the applause of those present.
 A liquid refreshment booth was located in the southeast corner of the hall, from which ice water and fruit punch was dispensed to allay the thirst of the Terpsichorean devotees, while more substantial and equally palatable refreshments were served on the stage during the evening.
 A more enjoyable evening could not be imagined than was spent by the guests of the evening. In addition to the large number of ladies and gen tlemen present from Prescott, there was quite good representation from the Iron Springs colony, a special train being run there at midnight for their accommodation.

Morning Entertainments.

Mrs. D. NJ. F. Weeks and Mrs. J.. c. Mather, assisted by Miss. Dora Mather, entertained a number of ladies at the residence of the former, in East Prescott this morning. The ladies in question have inaugurated sort of innovation, in the matter of social events, though on account of the warm weather a pleasant and agreeable one, by entertaining in the forenoon before the heat of the day becomes so great. Today's was one of a series of forenoons given by the above ladies and which have proven very pleasant social affair. Refresh ments were served by the ladies and the time was very pleasantly spent in social conversation.

Trying to Initiate it.

The remarkable popularity attained by the Los Angeles Herald's Sunday Magazine section in the few weeks it has been issued in its present form has induced others to attempt to imi- tate it, but the matter contained in The Herald's Magazine is so far ahead of the others that there is scarcely any comparisons. The Her ald's Magazine is far ahead of of any thing We have over seen.

A telegram from Leavenworth, Kansas, says: Mike Kelley, shortly after noon today, while insane, shot four men, one fatally, and wounded three. The victims are John R. Gar ret, prominent business man; Police Sergeant Dodge, Detective Mike Me Donald, Dr. Charles McGee. The condition of Garrett, Dodge and Me Gee is considered critical. McDon- aid will probably recover. Kelly, harboring a fancied wrong, entered Garrett's office unannounced. With out word of warning he shot Gar rett, who sat at his desk, five times. Garrett fell from his chair and when Dodge and Mcdonald arrived he was unconscious. Kelly had reloaded his revolver and when the officers entered turned it upon them, and Dr. McGee, who was summoned to attend Garrett. Several years ago Kelly made an as sault on Garrett's father. Today Kelly evidently mistook John R. Gar rett for the elder Garrett. Garrett died at the hospital.

The Man With The Gun.

The man arrested yesterday in the rocks west of town, was being ex- amined this afternoon as to his sanity. When questioned by Probate Judge Hicks, he said his name is Geo. Oliver, that he was born in Chicago, but had travelled all over the world. He came from Mexico to Arizona, having been in the territory about four weeks, coming through Tucson, Phenix, Congress and Kirkland to Prescott, arriving here on Wednesday. He says he is machinest and tinker and makes living by repairing guns and other articles. He says he had never been arrested before and that he only attempted to run bluff on the officers yesterday when he told them that if he had known their mis- sion he would have made it hot for them,
 He expressed ignorance at the cause of his arrest, and denied having shot the dog, but said he shot into the air to frighten a dog and a boy that had been annoying him. He said he would not shoot any one, as q am not crazy" he added. When Dr. Nc Ginnis questioned him as to his sanity he said he supposed he was as crazy as other people as everybody, he said, was more or less crazy. He account ed for the arsenal, which he possess ed by saying that he bought old guns and made good ones of them and sold them. That Winchester" he said, addressing Under Sheriff Johns, 'that you took from me I paid fifty cents for and I can get $.O0 for it now."

GODS GIFT.

To a nebulous Myth the wretched
 cry To vague Abstraction in the sky;- But the hiss of the lash is loud and
 clear, \ And it stirs the Poor to horrid fear Of the hoofs, and wheels and the Char
 ioteer, Who drives with a devils wrath and
 speed The car of savage Human Greed. Oh! the5 shame of a race which
 hears the vail Of the widows woe, and the orphans
 vale, While it prays vain prayers and steals
 the fee To the things God meant should be
 most freel Oh! a curse on that law which says to
 me: "Shrivel that soul in a tenement, And pay for the right to live, in
 rent"
 But the land is held, and the seas
 are sold, And the sunlight, too, is bought with
 gold, And, the air We breathe is a thing of
 tradel- Oh, the Landlords rent must e'er be
 paid By the Tenant-serf the law has made The victim who mourns in vassalage Mans theft of his just heritage, But a day shall come when the
 wretched Poor Shall arise and knock at the Rich
 Mans door; And the Landlord shall heed the
 Tenants demand For the air and the light, the water
 and land. Which were given to all from Gods
 own hand, Before man learned the Devils creed, And stained his soul with the crime
 of greed! Tom Moore in Jackson, Ohio, Sun.

Theory for the Heat.

The New York Journal and Adver- tiser prints an article on the weather by G. P. Serviss the scientific writer who declares that the abnormal heat now being experienced is due to the disruption of the vaporous shell that usually surrounds the sun. This sphere being rent by inner commo- tions the earth is visited with the un diminished heat of the interior like blast from furnace when the door is opened. He predicts that for the next four years these gigantic out bursts will increase in fury with cor responding series of terrestrial sea sons marked by excesses of tempera- ture, sudden contrasts and extraor- dinary cyclonic disturbances.
