 Word has reached Phenix of the death at Tucson of J. NJ. Castaneda, who died from a severe attack of dys- entery. Mir. Castenada was 65 years of age and has been in the territory for forty years and at Benson twenty years. He was proprietor of the Vir- ginia hotel at Benson and also kept a large store there. He is widely known all over the territory and his loss will be deeply felt by his many friends.-Enterprise.
 The. steel vaults of the Prescott National Bank are being placed in position, the work thereon being ne- cessarily slow and careful. The met al of the plates is as hard as cal amity howler, and when finished no more substantial recess will be found anywhere, there being three lairs of plates riveted together. It will take two weeks to complete the job, and a longer time than that for any intend ing maurauder to break into the same.
 This office is not only receiving gratifying reports from the outside in relation to the special mining edition which it will soon issue, but likewise it Is receiving substantial encourage ment financially to rush the work to completion. This edition will be a mechanical gem in make up, and from literary standpoint will be un- equaled in Arizona journalism. For the first time in the history of Yava- pal, the entire edition will be profuse- ly Illustrated and the data will be carefully compiled and without re- gard to section or class.
 A petition is being generally circu- lated and signed asking for the parol- ing of Charles Rose, who is serving a life sentence in Yuma for the killing of a couple of Mexicens in the Brad shaws some four years ago. Mir. Rose is said to be in very poor health and many of his friends, who are substan- tial residents of this section, are very earnest in asking for executive elem ency. This crime was committed while protecting his personal property from thievery and in resorting to des- perate methods, killed outright two Mexicaps, who it is said had also threatened his life. If a burglar enters at night the home of any one and is shot down. no one but the vic tim of that folly is to blame. But under the elastic conception of Ari- zona criminal matters if a miner in the hills in broad day light has to shoot and kill two men who not only threaten his personal safety, but drive away his burros, he receives a life sentence. Rose is an industrious miner, bore a good name and should be given his freedom at once.
