 Sheriff Tom Wills, of Pinal county,
 came in Friday morning with seven
 cattle rustlerS whom he and his dep.
 uty arrested about seven miles north
 east of Tucson. They are charged
 with violating the provisions of the
 livestock law. The rustlers killed
 COW and calf on their way from Flor
 ence to Tucson and are charged with
 other violations of the law in Pinal
 county. Inspector Forham, of Pinal
 bounty, Is also here. He followed the
 trail of the rustlers, while Sheriff
 Wills took shorter route and headed
 them off. They are all confined in the
 Tucson jail. The seven rustlers were
 travelling as circus but are believed
 to have some other object in view, as
 they are headed by man named Will COX, an old pal of Billy Stiles. Chair
 man Sturges, of thel livestock sanitary
 board, was here when the rustlerS
 were brought in. He says that they
 will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.--TucSon Post.
 The progress of the party from the university is being recorded in the diff ferent newspapers whose fields they are visiting. Professors Smith, Guild and Skinner with ten students, were
 first reported from Tom bstone, then from Bisbee, then they shot down into Cansnes, from whence it was reported they would go to Douglas, and follow ing to the Clifton. Morenci district and back to Tucson. The trip com prises investigations of both mines and min ing, and the reduction and treating of ores in all the varying manners, and should be of great practical benefit to the students. It also comes as a sort of vacation after tue strenuous work of last weeks semester examinations. The party is composed of the profess sors above mentioned and Messrs. W. Brostrom, R. c. Jacobson, R NJ. Rus sell, Al Ball, w. E, Hadsel, P. Fl. Had sel, P. H. Holman, F. c. Kelton, w. Bronson, H. Millington and s. Gang Tucson Post.
 The local option contest in this precinct, Wednesday, was exciting from start to finish; but the excite ment was not of an ill natured kind. The friends of each side arrayed their full forces, and worked throughout the day earnestly but pleasantly. Each side did ts best, and the result shows the true state Of public sentiment in the place upon the liquor question, there being l09 votes m favor of local | option and S2 in favor of the saloons, l the latter winning out by the narrow margin of nineteen. The local op tionists made a very favorable show ing, considering the fact that under the laws of this territory, they would | have had to get two votes to every one the opposition secured. The results l in other places show unbroken victories | for prohibition. At Pima the vote stood l02 for prohibition to l against it; at Thatcher, ll3 for to II against; | Central 26 for to against; Hubbard II for to l against; Curtis l9 for to II | against. -SafOrd Guardian.
 One of the most in nteresting phenom- ena is to bs observed in the bad lands of Arizona. Out in the midst of au alkali plain there is desolate forma- tion of rock covering only about an acre in extent, and from these rocks. or rather from beneath them, there issue sounds of music as though an organ was playing and the strains are echoed from every direction. The place has never been excavated or fully explored, and the theory of scientists is that there is a peculiar Of stalactites in cave there with an opening somewhere through which the wind blows up the stalac- htes, producing the music. The h. iians claim, however, that a cathedral was at one time built upon this place, md that there was bad priest placed n charge of the cathedral, who ab- lucted Indian women and children. One night the ground opened during violent storm and the earth closed n over the top of the cathedral. The Indians believe that the music which 'omes from the ground proceeds from ,he ghosts of those who were inferred It the time of the earthquake. .-Phoe- fix Republican.
