frontier of the Apaches, at a a place called Arizona, on a noun tain ridge about a half a league in extent. The discovery was made by Yaqui Indian, who re- vealed it to a trader, and the latter made it public The news of such surprising wealth attracted q multitude to the spot. At depth of d few varas (a 'Vara' is a Span ish ishyard-aboutthirty-three inches, English) masses of pure silver were found, of Il globular form, of one or two arrobas in weight Gan 'Arroba' is twenty-five pounds) Several pieces were taken out weighing twenty arrobas; and one found by a person from Guadala- jara, weighed 40 arrobas. Many persons amassed large sums.n Con tinuing Velasco wrote:
 "This discovery is mentioned not only in the work referred to, but in Los Ocios Espaholes, and in docu- ments existing in the archives of the missions of Pimeria Alta (which is that part of the State of Sonora ceded to the United States by the Gadsden Treaty, in 1853, including also large area south ward from the present lnterna- tional Boundary). Latterly, in the year 1877, Dionisio G. Robles, an'inhabitant of the town of Rayon, fitted out an expedition of two hundred men, and proceeded to Arizona for the purpose of explor- ing these mines. They examined the spot, making several excava- tions, but although indications of virgin silver were plentiful, they

 ]. No property in Mexico has veins of such extent and variety.
 6. In fact it is believed beyond q doubt that this property will prove bonanza of extraordinary merit.
 :. In conclusion, it may be well to state that this Company is in the hands of experienced business men of standing, who know how q mine should be operated; and they propose to operate these properties upon business principles, such as should prevail in the operation of any manufacturing plant, and make it pay from the start; every dollar paid out by them must re- turn more than a dollar.

urday night, took TWO more long
strides in advance Of his party which
he is leading on the trust question
He attacked the arguments that re-
modelling Of the tariff duties on all
trust-made articles would drive the
trusts out of business and leave the
field for the small and independent
competitors. He declared that the alb
clifton Of these duties might ruin the
trusts, but would first ruin the small
corporations and cause distress to the
entire country. He pointed out that
two Of the most successful trusts, the
Standard Oil company and the anthra
cite coal combination, would not be
affected by tariff changes because
they enjoy no protection now. His
naming the coal trust as combina
ton that has control of the anthra
cite output" was the most striking
paragraph in his speech.
The other notable feature Of the
presidents speech had to do with the
adoption CT a constitutional amend
ment to give the federal government
control of the trusts. He made prac
tically a fiat declaration in favor OF
amending the constitution.

RESTRAINED
From Removing Stalls From the
Stag Saloon.

If the proprietors of the Stag saloon
on South Howard st. have not removed
the stalls in accordance with the
ultimntum of Mayor Doyle, His Honor
will have to blame the delay on Judge
Anderson. This situation develops from
an action for Injunction. John NJ.
Brown, a carpenter, erected the stalls
for Davis & Taylor, while they were
running the place, and he alleges that
thy did not pay him for the work.
He had his claim made lien on the
equipment of the saloon, and the stalls
were included. Consequently, he OBJ
jected when an attempt was made to
remove them, and upon application was
granted a restraining order by Judge
Anderson. This property was leased
of VIM. Washer by the Cleveland &

Wis & Taylor quit the place it has been
