Chinese Gardener Murdered.

A brutal murder occurred at the
 Chinese garden few miles aooVe Clifton Friday last.
 Three Chinamen were in partner ship in the gardens. Two Of them
 came to Clifton to pedd!e their wares
 and to attend to their business, IeaV-
 ing Young Chew. aD old man, at home. ! Chew was in feeble health and did not
 leave his bed. When the two China ! men returned home in the evening they found that their partner had ! been cruelty murdered, and their ! trunks broken open and robbed or I their contents. The old mans body | was lying against one of the doors ot 1 the cabin with more than dozen | knife wounds in the neck and breast. l \ cOrOner's jury was impaneled oy ! Justice BOyles, which returned yer | dict tO the effect that death had been caused by knife wounds inflicted by | parties unknown.
 The Chinamen state that there was l SEQ of company in one trunk, and s2O or so in the other trunk.
 The body of the poor old man was ! buried on Saturday by his fellow cOun- { trymen, with whom he was very popular.
 The ofIicer- have been vigilant since
 the murder, but so far have made no arrests.
 Chinese gardeners have long been a prey tO outlaws, and 1t would seem that they should eyentuall v'-iearu that the safest place to keep their money is in the banks. Chinese gardeners have been robbed and murdered in all sections of this country. Five of them were killed at one time near Central, New Mexico, by band Of Mexican outlaws, who had deaf American child with them, in whose charge the
 horses were left while the crime was being committed. The child was not ed ucated> and while he could make his wants known to his parents, he could not communicate by the deaf alphabet or any sign language. However, he made his folks understand that some thing was wrong, and on the following day when the bodies were found they surmised that the child knew about it. They took him to the scene, anu he showed them where he held the horses and how and when the deed was done. He described some of the erpetratOrs and they were even tually all arres ted, but the court could not receSve the testimony of the child, the only wit ness, who knew not the nature of an oath, neither could he give his evil dence in such a manner that it could be understood by the court or jury. The Chinese companies at San Fran cisco were deeply interested in the matter, and hired old John D. Bail to prosecute the case. The companies offered to educate the boy and he was sent to the deaf mute asylum at Aus tin, Texas, where be remained several years. The prisoners were kept in jail all that time. Finally vixen the little witness was able to give his evil dcnce in an intelligent manner, he was brought back by one Of his teach CTS who acted as translator or inter- preter, and the case preceded to tria, with the result that the entire gang were convicted. It was one of the most remarkable criminal trials ever held in this, or any other country. The child. whose name is Willie Casey, is now a teacher in the dea and dumb asylum at Austin.

 to Clifton. From the evidence it ap
 peared that Gomez ard his wife enter ed the observation ear and were tolC by the porter that there was an extra

Gomez states that he asked the rorter what he would do if he re' | fused to pay, an1 he states that the | porter replied that he would put hin off or kick him off, or something O l that kind. Conductor Reardon came along later and demanded extra pay | for riding in the observation car | which Mr. Gomez refused tOpay. The
 conductor then brought Wm. Spaw, ar into the car, and after some consider able trouble, fOrcibly persuaded Mr. Gomez to retire from that end of the Tbc officers state that Mir Gomez resisted them with great ardor and d good lively tussle followed. On

THE Surveyor generals office at Phoenix is over crowded with work
 At the present time it takes from four to six months to get patents throu2 h the office. It will be remembered that only recently the surveyor gen cral and his chief deputy were dis missed from office because the deputy had accepted money for extra work for himself and other clerks, in order to facilitate the work of the office The practice was repreheusible, as under that plan every man having business in the office could be made to pay extra. still the same custom has prevailed In other states and terri tories for years past. Now, however, that the practice has been done away with in Arizona, the government should furnish force sufficient to do the business in reasonable yme.

Distineuished Visitors.

During the past week the Clifton Morenci district was honored by .l visit from His Excellency, Alexander O. Brodie, governor of Arizona, and Professor Babcock, president of the University of Arizona. They arrived sunday night and were entertained by S7orSf srIOon, prosruonO Ur OIo A. C. company. A reception was ten dered them at MT. COlquhOun's resi- dence soon after the arrival of the train, at which many of the citizens of Clifton had the pleasure of meeting both the governor and the professor The governor had visited Clifton be- fore, and has many warm friends scattered through the district, who gave him q royal welcome. On Mon day the gentlemen were shown through the works and met many of tie people and on Tuesday, under the guidance of Mir. COlGuhOun, General Manager Neitch and Judge Egan they were taken over the Coronado railroad and through the A. C. Cos mines at Long fellow, and then turned oyer to Gen eral Manager Mills of the D. C. com pany who had the honor of serving as private under the governor when he was major in the Rough Riders. Both gentlemen expressed themselves as highly pleased with the camp in general and by the hearty, whole sOuled manner in which they were re- ceived ny the people. There is no doubt that Governor Brodie is making about the best chief executive the territory ever had, and the people feel most kindly towards him.

THE decision rendered by Judge sloan, of Prescott. Arizona. last week will in every probability. give the quietus to labor strikes in Iavapai county. The decision was the result of an injunction case az gainst certain miners and miners unions in that county, and made permanent the temporary injunction recently issued from the United States Court The injunction was asked by the Eavapai Mine Operators Association to re- strain union miners from interfering with the operations of their pro per ties. Surely no reasonable man can object to this decision. Every man, who is not under a contract for a defi- mite length of time, has n perfect right to quit work, but he has no right to interfere with others who take his place.

TIE fact that the government dam is to bo built near Phoenix is having the effect of greatly increasing land values in that section. Some tracts have more than doubled in value, and will double several times moro before the completion of the great enterprise. Water storage. coupled with mining, will soon make Arizona one of the greatest states in the Union.

that every time he moved It necessi-
