PUBLISHES EVERY SUNDAY HATTICH, Editer. and Prop EPITAPH TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION One $3.00 Six Monthe. $1.50 SIGNS OF PROSPERITY The signs never pointed anything more clearly at this time than a great wave prosperity throughout the country. The financial stitutions have a largesurplus of money, the crop conditions from north to south are ideal, the speculative world is on a conservative basis and the producing and selling chinery of the business world is going to be taxed to the limit to supply the demand of the next twelve months. With the existing prosperous conditions and early statehood the surplus funds of the eastern financial centel's are beginning to move Arizonaward to develop its great mineral and agricultural resources.

The PROSPECTOR has good reasons to predict a great wave of industrial activity during the next few months in every nook and corner of our great new state of Arizona. The "nestors" who have taken up homesteads in the fertile valleys of Cochise county are going to win out. There are ample evidences all around that those who are not afraid of work and have the patience and study a littleof the existing conditions and adopt methods fitted for this locality will win out. Old Rome was not conquered in a day, The virgin soil of our broad acres cannot be made productive in a day. But with persistent effort and proper cultivation of the soils the desert can be made to bloom like a rose in a year or two.

J.

BENEDICT. The blue of the sky overarching The bills all around in their gray, To some bearte the story is telling Of brothers in hostile array. When cannon roared out in fierce thunder And rifles spit out in bot spite, And the nations looked on in their wonder At kindred grappled in fight. When over the fielde of our Southland Dear blood WAS poured out in stream; Here blazed the red fires, bate-fane nedWould to God we might count it dream! But blue turne gray at the set, In the distance the gray becomes blue; So the colore that strugg'ed in flict Are mingled in barmony true. Then over the grave of esch true one, No matter what colors he wore, Let u8 place with "affection, the guerdon Which is bravery's need evermore.

Tucson Editor Not Guilty of Libel But one of the cases against Editor Frank Blighton, charged with criminal libel under nine separate indict. mente, reacheu the jury in the proceedings against the defendant which have occupied the attention of the court at Tucson for the past twe days. In this case the jury rendered verdict of not guilty. Seven of the other cases were thrown out because of an error in drawing the indictments. In these cases it was found there was variance between the actual publication and the matter recited in the indictment.

This, of course, WAS a fatal defect, and de nurrere in each of theee caees were sustained. In the eighth case demurrer had been sustained when the case came an some time ago, and it seems that Blighton was re-indicted without former order directing the matter to the attention of the grand jury. 1 In thie case the demurrer was sustained because this provision of the statute bad not been complied with. These cases came before Jude Kent, who presided, as Judge Campbell was diequalified because of interest in the proceedings.
