Local retailer announces a removal sale to clear stock before moving to a new store. Canned fruits priced at 2 dollars per dozen, tomatoes and corn at 1.50 per dozen, sugar at 14 pounds for one dollar, bacon 15 cents, salt pork 10 cents per pound, Burbank potatoes at 2 dollars and 25 cents per slick. Everything offered in proportion.
The page lists enacted bills in Arizona covering railroad boards, penalties for false pretenses, strict oath rules, funding bonds, school district definitions, and education for the deaf. It also notes reforms on taxation, rail and road contracts, jury changes, and a large mining bill. An aside recounts Connecticut blue laws repeal and a wry column on newspaper politics.
A column cites Peter Cooper on advertising in newspapers and notes a Georgia man who chose his neighbor’s wife and faced violent consequences. The piece uses a tongue in cheek warning about judgment in domestic matters and public notices.
A historic dispute over 80 acres near Prescott ends with the U S Supreme Court ruling against agricultural patenting of the Silver King claim. The land, previously granted for agriculture despite a known mine, is now open for mining and employment, six miles south of Prescott. The decision sustains Clay's ejectment win over the Silver King group and clears the way for renewed mining activity in the county.
The report notes yearly death risks per passenger in several countries. England 1 in 28,000,000, France 1 in 19,000,000, Italy 1 in 6,000,000, America 1 in 2,000,000 to 3,000,000, and Russia 1 in 1,900,000.
