Stricken With Paralysis.

Joe Hill, well known citizen oi Duncan, was stricken with paralysis in Clifton Friday last, and for time it was feared that his life was in dan- ger, but his improvement, while slow, has been marked since the first few days. Mr. Hill, while at breakfast, noticed that his left hand and arm were numb and felt as though they were asleep" He thought but little Of tat the time, finished his breakfast and started over to his brothers place of business, when he found that his left leg was in the same condition. He did not then realize the cause Of the trouble, but managed to make his way across the street, after which he was assisted by friends to his brothers rooms, where he soon passed into a state Of unconsciousness and remained in that condition for several days. His recovery seems reasonably certain, still he is a pretty sick man.

Convicted of Shooting Cattle

Louis Snyder was tried before Jus tice Boyles Monday last on the charge of shooting cattle, belonging 10 Mrs. Wm. Flannigan of the Blue. It seems that Snyder was in charge of Wm. Brookey's ranch and was annoyed by the cattle, so he got out his trusty winchester, and proceeded to pump lead into seven of them, after wh ich he skipped out, and was later arrested at Fort Grant, and brought back for trial. He was charged with misde- meanor and felony, and was found guilty in both cases and bound over in the sum of SjOO to appear before the next grand jury. The territory was represented by Wiley E. Jones. Snyder was not represented by an attorney.

BLACK RIVER.
From our Special Correspondent.

From our Special Correspondent.
 Alter one Of the dryest and most dis couraging years in a long time, We are experiencing a snow and rain storm that causes the stockman 10 have a more hopeful view of the coming year. The fact that the Apache reservation was opened to lease last spring. thus permitting grazing on both reserva- tions, and that feed is excellent in the vicinity, has saved the double circle and CCC outfits heavy loss.
 The range bordering the Gila river is in a very poor condition and stock in poor shape for the coming winter, and unless it be a most favorable one, the loss will be heavy.
 Ben Parks from Bonita has thrown two herds on Black river on the line between the double circle and the CCC ranges, and hopes by so doing to save many cattle, consequently Black river will be well populated this winter with COW camps.
 A companion and I are stationed in line camp north of the river. Re- gently We have been puzzled by some unknown person hiding in the vicinity and coming into camp as soon as we leave and helping himself to every thing in the edible line. While we are willing to share with anyone that may happen this way, it would be, to say the least, more companionable for them to call while we are at home.
 The Apaches are being treated in a manner this winter that should be most satisfactory to those who wish to see them put on their own resources. Twelve thousand dollars have been ap- prOpriated by the government to con- struct a wagon road from the sawmill thirtyfve miles north of San Carlos, on across Black river into Fort Apache "a distance of forty miles. It is eX- pected that two or three hundred h. dians will be employed on this work. Besides this road work ditches are be- ing made on both reservations thus employing lare number of Indians. The agent at Fort Apache, or White river, is making a great effort to em- ploy the Indians and to improve their conditions as far as possible. Cattle and sheep are being bought for them and carefully looked after by the agent. This will be a great help to them, as the stock will be great ben- eft instead of a detriment, as are their countless hundreds of ponies that run at large all over the reservation.
 Affording and compelling the Indian to work, to earn his living and to care for what he has, is one of the most inn portant steps in managing the Aapache that could be undertaken.
 Among other improvements at the White river agency, is large new school house under construction.
 As we sit in our small tent by com fortable fire. and see the large white snOwhakes falling outside, we experi- ence a feeling of pity for the less for tunate boys who must pass the cold, wet day in the saddle, and almost wish myself back in Clifton
 By the beautiful advertising Of the Bazaar Department store, we are re- minded that Christmas is at hand again. We cannot enjoy our Christ mas in Clifton this year, but we ex- ;ent hearty invitation to any who feel like passing Christmas on Black river, to take dinner with us in our comfortable little camp.
 With greetings to friends and ac- quaintances, I remain,
 Most respectfully,

The Southern Pacific now has nearly ten thousand men at work on the Lake in Utah. This thirty mile trestle across the waters of the big lake is the most wonderful one in the world. At the deepest place the water is only thirty-nine feet deep, and pile drivers are placed at intervals of q mile along the route. Besides this remarkable scheme the company is now perfecting its plans for five mile tunnel through the Sierra Nevada mountains. This will save the company an immense amount of money in the operation of the line and enable it to run passenger trains through to New York in less than three days time. This work however, it is now impossible to com mence, as the company cannot get the men for it at present. The work on the Salt Lake cut off is about half completed and is being rushed as fast as possible. The company has had steamers constructed and now has some fourteen or fifteen pile drivers at work driving piling into the bottom of the lake.

MINES AND MINING.

B. Lucero, one Of the best prospect ors in the country, was in town this week from his mines on Eagle river. Mir. Lucero recently made gold strike which, had it occurred in Colo rado, would have occasioned intense excitement, and would have filled the hills with prospectors. There are unquestionably some big gold mines hidden away in this district, and they are certainly worth hunting for.

John Cromb returned Saturday last from Deming, N. NJ, where he pur- chased three hundred head of cattle from Bob Harrington and J. T. Hall & Son. The cattle will be shipped to Safford and put on pasture. Bay Shannon is now in Texas buying cat tie to be shipped to Stafford to be put on pasture. Even feeders are getting pretty scarce in this section. The storm of the past few weeks is pretty hard on the brief buyers, but is good thing for the csttlemen as all of the waterholes are now full Of water which affords new pasturage.

The Arizona Star makes the foll Ow- ing very sensible remarks anent pro- posed new counties: "Of course the
 old county, like the old folks, will ob-

All things being equal, it costs less 10 maintain these new coun- ties than it does to remain in old coun- ties Of large area. The mileage of county officers, jurors, witnesses and the loss of time to and expense of citi- zens serving on juries. going long dis tances to court, and the cost of liti9a- tion, which is much higher when they are far removed from the seat of gov crnment. There are many other things to be considered which argue in favor Of new counties. There are liable to be several new counties ap- piled for during the next legislature. Yavapai. MaricOpa, Graham and Co chise may be asked to throw off a swarm of it's citizens to set up busi- ness for themselves. The citizens of each of which counties are much bet IT able to maintain county govern ment, than wero either Cochise or Ora ham when they were created. EcOn- Omy to the people is the first consid- eration. The doctrine and principle of home and selfgovernment is al ways leading factor in the efforts of the people of any given section asking new county, to the end that they may the better control and govern themselves.

Col. Frank Alley, tho Bill Nye Of Arizona journalism, blew into Clifton Tuesday night, and as he is here to write up the camp, he "took in" the town by the glare of the electric lights and of course was most favorably inn pressed with everything, but the hotels, which like all modern institutions, do not furnish combs and brushes. The colonel was therefore compelled on arising in the morning to go to the livery stable and borrow a curry comb to comb his hair. The colonel has not been out of Arizona for twenty years, therefore he is excusable for bad break occasionally. However, Jud Webster presented him with second hand currycomb and brush, which he now carries in his overcoat pocket, hence his personal appearance in the future will be up to the usual Arizona standard.
