The Killing of Private Murphy al
 san Carlos.

Last week we gave an account of the killing of this man, as furnished bv 8 correspondent at Camp Grant. It is due to our correspondent to here say that he did not vouch for the ac- euracy of the two accounts he gave, but stated official reports were liable to make different showing, as they do in some respects. We have now before us written statements or afi- davits bearing upon the case, by the following named parties:
 Major ". H. Brown; Robert Baird, 1st Sergeant Co M 9th Cavalry; Ser geant Washington Lee of same com pany; ' CaIoio. TfliJ Sow JiIe shooting and acts leading to 1t Alex. Mickey, ". B. Hugus, c. J. Daley, Geo. IL. Stevens and Geo. Smerden, employees and traders about San Carlos, and also the statement of John 3. Brophy, who shot and killed Murphy. They all show deceased to have been Q bad and dangerous man, and either directly declare or carry the idea that the kill ing was iustifable. They make no allusion to an Apache being connected with the trouble as per our report last week, and yet it is not unlikely one contributed to 1t. The killing was done on the 17th and not 18th as stated in THE CITIZEN last week. Mr. Brophy came to Tucson on Mon day and presented the papers above referred to, to District Attorney Hughes. From present appearances, further action will not be had iu the case.

Mining at Wickenburg.

We have the most cheerful advices of Smith 6 Co.'S mining and mill ing operations at Wicllenburg. A letter of recent date says that them mill is Q great success and 8 complete one Peter Taylor is interested with Mir. P. ". Smith and they are making money fast. In month or so more. all indebtedness incurred in its con struction will be fully paid out of the receipts, and there IS ere enough in sight to keep the mill busy for years to come. The vein is twenty-seven feet in thickness and every pound of the ore is crushed-none whatever being thrown away. The letter be- fore us says "I have never seen a " better prospect for permanence, and making money"
 Now the vein which supplies Smith & Co.'S mill is Q part of the celebrated Vulture which is lying idle, but it can hardly remain 50 much longer. The Vultore Co. Aas a large mill and abundance of machinery and, judged by Smith 6 Co.'S mine, must have any quantity of paying ore. The for Wickenburg seem bright, and we surely trust they will grow brighter and all the miners there q bouts become rich.

Adverse Claim Rejected.

This dispatch is from the San Diego Union:
 WASHINGTON, July 22.- Commissioner Drummond, of the General Land Office, has rejected the claim of Jackson and Cth- CTS, who have made application for pat ent for the celebrated " Tiger" silver ilina in the Bradshaw District, Northern Arizona.
 This does not show the grounds of rejection nor that the other claimants have been granted a patent. "Jack- son and others" did not apply for 8 patent, unless their filing an adverse claim to @ mine sought to be patented by others, is construed as an applica- tion. "The Tiger Mining Company ot 'Arizona," of which Wm. Lent IS president, made the formal applica- tion for patent in this case. As the dispatch reads, it looks as if the Tiger company Is or will ba successful.

Papago Mischief at Florence.

Last Monday, some sixteen Papa gos filled themselves with mescal, and towards nine o'clock in the evening made & raid on Ramon's melon patch near Florence. Of course the owner of the melons objected, which incensed the Papagos and they broke into his house, stole $60 in money, all the provisions and light movables, and just about tore the building to pieces. Tn the meantime, they did considera- ble shooting among themselves and succeeded in wounding one of their number in 8 leg. After this they
 went to the house of Stephen Rami- reg, and he, thinking they meant to attack him, hsstened into Florence and got number of citizens to come
 to his place But as no persistent att
 tempt was made, the citizens returned
 without doing anything in particular.
 A horse seems to have been shot by the Papagos, and, after the foregoing incidents, some twenty shots were
 heard, but by whom our informant is not cerJain.
 We learn that the Indians were drunk on mescal and that the saloons about Florence and Adamsyille do not
 keep the article at all, hence 1t IS be- Eeved that Mexican traders smuggle l. it from Sonora directly to the Indians also that the same PaPagos above re- ferred to, are very quiet, orderly and industrious when sober. If this illicit
 liquor traffic with the Pimas and Papagos could be broken up, 1t is be- lieved that little if any disturbance would be made by those Indians but as the sellers can make @ profit by its sale and the Indians are anxious to buy and drink 1t, the task seems al- most hopeless.

SMALLPOX.

At this writing there is not a single case Of
smallpox In our townor county. How can we
hope to escape il when large numbers of per-
sons principally negroes, arrive in our town
every day from Louisville and other infected
points. Prom a private letter to a friend
from Louisville, We learn that the disease
there is very much worse than reported in
the papers, and has extended into all classes
Of society, We notice that the city authori-
ties have recently enacted good sanitary laws,
and have erected several pest houses outside
of the city limits, and are now using great
caution; but IL Is nevertheless exceedingly
dangerous for country people 10 visit the city.
We desire TO see Louisville prosper and will
willingly lend our hand to advance her inter
ests, but We don't want her TO give US the
dreaded smallpox. Therefore We advise our
people TO stay at home, and our town authori-
ties TO pass such ordinances as are necessary
to prevent parties from coming into our midst
from all infected towns and cities, and re-
naming at will.

Good Word For stanford.

Stanford as monumental mart, is assuming
magnitudious importanoe.-An actual in
spection reveals the fact that our merchants
and business men have a trade amounting in
the aggregate to over 100000, and all agree
that il is largely on the increase. large
trade has lately been concentrated here from
Casey, Russell, and other Green River coun-
ties.-Look at the pile Of goods per express
and otherwise that are received at our Depot
for our merchants and Others, and il will give
you an idea of our largely increased trade.
The commercial travellers that do business
here, report that they have the most proiita-
BILE trade here Of any interior town in Ken
lucky. They are rarely able TO draw any
money here, as our business men are generally
ahead in the remission Of funds to meet their
liabilities, which noeessitates to draw for funds
10 meet their incidental expenses. Not a
single business man or merchant has been
sued here during the last year This speaks

10 our postmaster from East Tennessee re-

has much TO say. Some shrewd cnterprising
gentlemen from Ohio, have recently come in
To our midst and purchased real estate, where
at we are rejoicing. They came highly rec
commended, and have proven themselves men
Of shrcwdness and intelligence. One Of them,
Mr.. Pierce purchased a good small farm Of
VIM. Parmly near town, paying fair price;
another a Mr.. Irwin, bought Of Hiram Roberts
farm; another Mr. Alexander, bought Of
Hiram Roberts his home tract lying three
miles east Of town, containing 500 acres at

in town. We have shown our appreciation Of
so valuable an acquisition by electing him

wears his bonors becomingly and with dignity.
Several business changes have taken place,
among which we can now think Of the follow
ing John Edmiston has about closed out his
immense stock Of merchandise at auction, re-
quiring some eight or ten days. II is but just
to say that John is not broke, but simply de-
sires to strike a balance sheet Of successful
business Of seventeen years. Sam Hardin re-
rented the celebrated Hardin Hotel for 1873,
at $3.50 Mr. NJ. Ray has recently removed
to our town from Lancaster, and will open
here an extensive furniture store. II. Rob-

remove to town in a short time.
A FIRE broke out here on the llth inst, at
