Arizona and Its Minerals.
lrrorr th. shreyepor. cl.oul.laOal soutAwsststn.l

From the shrcvepor, (i.ouisiaua) South hwesern.l
 By invitation ot our esteemed fellow -townsman. Dr. Iotchkiss, VIC called at his resldepce to ex- anime some specimens Of copper and silver ore recently brought from Arizona by NIT. F.. M. Pierce one Of its most intelligent, energetic and cntcrprisiug citzcus The lot spread out for in- spcciion comprised au assortment Of about one hundred beautiful specimens, ranging from the lowest to the highest grade. We were also shown a complete map of the mineral regions, including gold, and which makes Arizona next in impor tauce to California in the extent of it's mineral treasures IL Is confidently anticipated that the future production of copper will be chiefly from Arizona and New Mexico, as the high grades of copper ore are more profitable to work than Is the copper in It's metallic state.
 From a very interesting conversation with MT. Pierce on this subject, feel satisfied that these mines were once worked by the Aztccs, as many l implements used by them in excavating have been
 found buried in the vicinity.
 The principal drawback to the full develop
 ncnt of these mines has heretofore been the dan gerous proximity of the Indian tribes, especially the Apaches, rendering mining unsafe aud cyeu hazardous. This hostile tribe Is now almost con
 quered, and with its speedy removal from the
 mining districts, even another season will witness gigantic operations in mining interests west O . ! the Rio Grdnde.
 Shreveport has a direct interest In the develop
 ment of this vast mineral region, for with th' ! completion Of the Texas Pacific Railroad, an i'm mensc trade will seek a channel to the Gulf coast , either by this route else by way of Galveston
 This trade Is now eagerly sought after by Si , Louis, and other points, but properly belongs t us by geographical position. To secure so i'm Y portdnt source of revenue, business energy ant T enterprise are necessary, and 1t Is 10 be hope c that our merchants, and, indeed, all persons in
 terested in the future prosperity or our city, vii ' not permit this great interest to seek anOthe
 outlet.
 The Mfr. Pierce alluded to, lives at Silye
 City, New Mexico, but has mining interest { in Arizona

Simplicity of Judge Marshall.

When Judge Marshall lived in Richmond, his opposite neighbor was Colonel Pickett, father of General George E. Pickett, of Gettysburg fame Colonel Pickett was a man oi wealth. lived well, and was not content unless everything about his household bore the marks Of good living His horses were his pride, and were conspicuous ey- orywbere for their splendid appearance, being as sleek, fat and high-spirited as abundant food and excellent, grooming could make them. Judge Marshalrs horses, on the other hand, were notori. Ously lean and unkeinpt Everybody but the Judge had long remarked this. At last it was brought 10 his notice, with the suggestion that his driver neglected the horses sold much of their food, and appropriated the money to his own use, good deal Of it going, no doubt, for liquor. The Judge called him up without delay: "Dick, what is the reason that Colonel Pcketts horses are in such splendid condition, while mine are almost skeletons! am afraid you neglect them, don't haif curry them, and don't half feed them" Dick not expecting the attack, was fairly posed. He hemmed aud hawed awhile III he could gather his negro wits about him, and then said: " Mars John, look al you-is you iatr' "No,n said the Judge, "decidedly not" Well look at ole Mi..'
