NEW YORK, January l4.-Mixed and uncertain, the price movement in today's stock market was much the same as for several days past, but a marked subsistence of activity was the distinguishing feature. The number of disciplinary measures adopted by the board of governors lately, to which was added an expulsion today, operated to eurtail some kinds of activity in the market. but it is doubted whether op. erations of the kind aimed at make up large proportion of the dealings from day to day.

BOARD ID. SPEND S2,5OO
 ADVERTISING
PIMA COUNTY SUPERVISORS TO EMPLOY IMMIGRATION COM
 MISSIONER ON SALARY.

TUCSON, January l4.--At the earn est solicitation of prominent business men, the board of supervisors today de. cided to set aside $2500 for advertising Pima county and Tucson and to appoint an immigration commissioner who will receive salary of $50 per month.
 Leading business men of the city paid second visit to the supervisors today to urge on them that advantage be taken of the, statute which allows the county to set aside an appropriation of $25OO for advertising it's resources.
 The statutes require also that an i'm. migration commissioner be appointed who will have general charge of the expenditure of the appropriation.
 The supervisors have deferred the ap- pointment of a commissioner until a recommendation is made by the cham Der of commerce. The members state that they will appoint as commissioner any man whom the chamber of com. merce desires.
 It is the intention to have the ap. propriation expended through the cham Der of commerce, following the exam. pie of Maricopa county, which expends its appropriation through the Phoenix board of trade.

Is BURRO THIEF, SAY FINAL COUNTY
 OFFICERS

Jose Mendoza s robbery by two of
 fcers of Pinal county, whom he charges with having, at the point of pistol, taken a saddle from him in the hills near Gibson, was something of a huge joke, according to the statement made by Deputy Sheriff W, H. Grizele to the Silver Belt yesterday afternoon. Also, it is charged that Mendoza is mucho burro thief
 As soon as they had been informed them by Mendoza, Grizelle and William Sovereign, the man who went with him to Mendoza s house near Gibson, left for Globe, arriving here yesterday af- ternoon with broad smiles and the certainty that not only they would have no trouble in proving the charges against them as ridiculous, but that when they left town they would take Mendoza with them to stand trial at Florence
 "That saddle did not belong to Men doza, and it was not worth $40, - said Grizelle at the sheriff s office "I1l tell you how it is: About year ago, Mendoza bought saddle from the Pinal Commercial company for $35. He borrowed $l5 to pay on the saddle, and that left him owing s20. Then he sold the saddle to Jack Davis for $15-- here s the bill of sale-and he borrowed the saddle from Davis to ride home. had a debt owing me, and I turned it over to Davis for the saddle, and here is Davis bill of sale to me for $1O. Davis knew I could get the saddle, but by the time l did get it, it was not worth s. The manager of the Pinal Commercial company says he thinks that if the saddle belongs to anybody, it belongs to his company and Gri- zelle laughed heartily.
 The officer denied that any revolvers had so much as been shown to Men doza, whom he said to be an enterpris- ing burro thief.
 He stole pretty nearly every burroN in Pinal county" went on Grizelle, land l have warrant in my pocket now for him on a charge for burro s1edihg. Wnen get him Udck lo Florence, there will be three or four more warrants for him on the same c charge.

PAHUTE COUNTY IN THE
 ANNALS OF ARIZONA

Probably there is not one man in s thousand living in Arizona toeay that knows the territory of Arizona once had Pahute county within it's borders, says the Tucson Star.
 But it did, and all the country lying Iorth of the Grand Canyon was erl- braeed within it's limits. By legislative act of lS73-4 that portion of the eoun- try lost its separate identity and was merged with Mohave and Yavapai coln. ties. It's last representative was a young fellow by the name of George Gleason, and he vigorously resented that either he or his county were dca,F broke, but after speech made to that effect he was known as "the dead broke member from Pahute county.' Grant Oury was president of the council and Capt. J. II. Hargrave speaker of the house. The first representative of the combided counties was Andrew II. Glib bons, a Mormon elder. MT. Gibbons is still living and is resident of Apache county. With this added territory in 1877, the representatives of Yavapai sought to give Mohave county the same representation as was enjoyed by Yuma county, and passed bill to that effect, but Governor Stafford vetoed the thing, and as it's advocates were not able to pass it over his head the measure fell through. Mohave and Pahute combined had population of S22, and Yuma county population of 2,200. If Yava- pal could have increased the representa- tion of Mohave it would have given her the dominating end of legislation, not withstanding the actual weight of pop ulation was in the south and not in the north. Governor Stafford then ordered new census to be taken and on. the results the counties were given their just apportionments.
