Last evening a candidate went
into a Spanish saloon to cap for

eral dark-complexioned men to

toast that he had carefully studied

must have made a sort of a slip in
accent or pronunciation, or perhaps
the pluperfect tense of his verb was
twisted. At any rate he was pain
fully misunderstood, for the near

Some years ago a number of Pima Indians settled on about 200 acres of land in Tempe valley, never having filed an application with the govern ment agent. Lately some white men pre-empted the same land, and during the last week were driven off by the Indians forcibly. The Indians are off the reservation granted them by the government, and consequently are not entitled to the property. Application has been made to the authorities for assistance to regain the land by the parties interested, and sheriff Mowry and posse left for the scene of the trouble this morning. If they do not succeed, the aid of the military will be invoked.

THE principal reason, says a con temporary, for hastening the compile tion of the Southern Pacific railroad is not generally known to the public. But we can give it. The directors of that important railway corporation have finally become convinced that the mining situation in Arizona Is no longer a problem. The permanency of the ore deposits is an assured fact No one has ever doubted the richness of the great mines which have been brought to the notice of the public. The bullion shipments from these mines left no room for doubt. But now the most competent mining au- thOrities on the coast have pronounce e1 the Arizona ledges permanent. This permanency not only assures the success of the mines-it means sue cess for the most important railway enterprise on the coast. We hazard the opinion that within twelve months Arizona will witness a mining revc- lution of the most exciting character. Hitherto prospectOrs have figured most prominently in the development of Arizona. The railroad will bring capitalists to the front.

is the branch store of Mr.. J. Deller ;
it was established some time ago,
and is now one of the permanent
business pieces of the town. His
constantly increasing trade demand
ing more room than that afforded by
the store first occupied, led to the
erection of a commodious store room
1t is now completed, and has been
fully stocked with fine selection of
general merchandise. The dry
goods and clothing departments are
large and attractive, with complete
selections of the best goods. Gro
ceries, crockery, glassware, &c. has
been added to the stock. All are
new and fresh goods, which will be
sold at lower figures thhn ever be-
fore in the village. His goods are
all purchased for cash, and the
people of Linden and vicinity will
have all the opportunities for buying
goods that they could have in larger
towns. And it will be the constant
aim Of the firm to merit by fail
dealing and the very lowest prices
the patronage of the people.

Hon. M. M. CoTHREN, as the judge
of fifth circuit, has during the last
year been censured pretty strong
ly by some litigauts of Iowa county,
because of the way the Circuit Court
has been run. To them it has seemed
as though they were hardly ever safe
to stay at home, and in turn always
obliged to leaveDodgeville about the
time the case which they were inter-
ested in was reached because of the
absence of Judge. 1t is but fair to
state that Cothren has been in no
degree deserving of blame. III Or

of Northern Wisconsin circuit to

Cothren is paying all extra expenses
incurred in making those changes
by both Judges, which we have been
informed is the fact, hts desire to

press was broken last week, and the
fractured part brought to this city
to be repaired. On not being able to
get the job done right away, the Re
publican took occasion to insinuate
that it would take Mineral Point
machinist several weeks to do what
Darlington machinist could accom-
plish in few days, by inserting
the following: Owe thought to get
it repaired at Mineral Point, but
found that it would be severalweeks
before it could bc dono. We had it
returned to Darlington and got
those thorough mechanics and ma
chinists, M. Hummer and Horace
Hough, at work upon it, and the re.
suit is that it is now better and
stronger than when it first came
from the foundry" This is all true
enough, but should be put in prop
er light. The occurrance served tt
illustrate the difference in the bus
mess done by Mineral Point and
Darlington establishments-the for


mer had several weeks work on hand
and the latter not several hours.

bearers in the coming campaign. With uu-
exceptional unanimity Hampton is tho

new theory of cellar excavations.
Alluding to the different expedi-
tions which have recently sought
this city in quest Of treasure trove,
and which have always beer
brought up with a rounI turn by
Chief of Police Harris, the CAron.
icte of the End inst. says:


The energy of a good portion OF
the private detective profession of
the city has lately been diverted
from less reputable and injurious
lines of investigation to q search
after hidden treasure, supposed to
be deposited somewhere in the
vicinity of the railroad depot at
Los Angeles. The people of that
city, however, with an insufficient
appreciation of things, have driven
oil several energetic deputations
and compelled them to suspend
digging operations. The inoite.
ment to this enterprise Is supposed
to proceed from convict in tho
State Prison, who has either wag-
gish notion to indulge or expects to
attain some favorable effect for
himself by connecting a story Of
Imaginary "swag." Whichever
may be the case, the whole force of
independent detectives should be
let into the secret, and the Los An
geles authorities, with due regard
for the public good, should permit
them to dig Indefinitely. If any
Inconvenience were likely to ensue,
this difficulty could be easily ad-
justed by procuring a revision of
the directions from the gentleman
in the Penitentiary, and the local
ity of the supposed bonanza trans.
ferred to one where the excavation
of cellar Is desirable. Mutual
benefit to both cities would result,
and the good-designing convict
might secure the lenient considera-
ton of the Governor as his re.
