What! Change the
 Name Of Arizona |?

Certain persons hack East, and possibly in the territory itself, with an ear for rythmn and a romantic disposition, have been suggesting that New Mexico shall be brought into the union under another name-preferably Lincoln and have thereby been causing some New Mexico partisans dire anguish. We have our own opinions about New Mex ico as state name, but we consider the wishes of New Nexicans of far more weight man our Opinious and con- sequently believe ifthey desire to name their state "Dobe" or just common English Mud" it is nobody else's affair.
 But the latest writhe of an- glish of the Albuquerque Citizen--which is some sensi- tive about this New Mexico name matter-lays claims to our attention because this journal sponsors proposition 10 pass the title Lincoln on to Arizona. Such proposition could have sprung from any spot but New Mexico and then out of great torture of the soul, No person in the states would be found who would change the name Arizona, and with no reasons of sentinen. tality about the m a tte CT Pioneers of this territory, of course, would rather rem ain a territory until the crack of doom than suffer the loss of Arizona" But those old fellows need have no fear that such a proposition will ever arise because you may hunt throughout the states and find no name to compare with Arizona for euphony and in . dividuality, Texas and Ala bama alone compete with it, When Arizona begins state hood her name is an asset.--- Journal-Miner.

Reception Rendered
 Supt. E. Vt Walker

Last night the employees of the | T. c. NJ. Co. gave farewell reception
 and presentation to their retiring chief
 Superintendent E. w. Walker, who
 about a month ago resigned his posi- =
 tion with the company and will leave in feE days for Michigan, his former
 home.
 As evidence of the cordial relations ! existing between the former superin-
 tendent and his subordinates It may be stated that Masonic Hall could
 scarce hold the number present and
 late corners could obtain standing room only.
 After several musical numbers had { been rendered by the band, MT. Jack
 Kramer arose and on behalf of the employees of the mine in 8 few we'll shosen words expressed their regret at parting with their former chief. His fitting remarks found hearty echo in the hearts of the many employees and as proof of the high esteem in which te was held by them, presented Mr. Walker with a finely engraved 1 gold watch, as a souvenir and token of remembra nee of the "boys on the hill"
 Taken entirely by surprise Mir. Walker was deeply touched by this tribute from tine men, and his voice trembled with emotion as he thanked them for this oppression of their re- gard for him, assuring them that the years he had spent in Tombstone in their midst would always remain one of the pleasa 5test memories of his mining career. He thanked them also Or the faithfulness with which they ,sd slwsys psriQrmed their duties and or their loyalty to himself while he sas superintendent.
 MT. Walker was followed by. Mir. fred FriedenwaIj, who dwelt at some ength on the many difficulties and 7, which had been encountered .

Utah Wants Strip
 of Arizona's s Domain

The Citizen eays that a we'll known local attorney, when seen yesterday, said Perhaps you have not noticed that the fight Utah has been making for years for the ceding to that state by congress of the strip of Arizona lying just north of the Colorado river, is not ended, for one of Utah's con gres-nien has introduced another bil askiI g for this grant and the boards Of trade and conlrercill lodi o. th s Mormon state are urging the passage of tne bill. The demand for this strip of land by Utah is about as absurd a. would be A demand from Idaho for the cession oi all that part of Utah lying north oi the Great Salt Lake.
 "The country Is an asset of Arizona and Arizona intends to fight any st- tempt to change her boundaries at the present time. Not even sale of the strip should be countensnced, but fl Utah wants that piece of land and must have it, let her pay the price
