AN ALLEGED SHOOTING AFFAIR. John H.
Thomas who lives near Nokesvllle station, was
before Justice woodward one day last week,
charged with shooting at, with intent to kill,
Geo. G. Reeves, bis son-in-law. Reeves testi-
fled that he was cutting corn in Thomas field,
which he (Reeves) had planted on shares,
when Thomas approached him, and pointing a
pistol near his face, said, " GU s-n of a b-h
die; and fired, but missed. Thomas then
stepped back two steps, according to Reeves
evidence aud said You must die" and fired
twice more, leach shot missing him." Reeves
said he then left the field aud was followed to
the feuce by Thomas. Thomas was bailed in
the sum of $3.50 to await the action of the
grand jury. Thomas story is that he saw
large flock of birds in his field, and having no
gun loaded his pistol with shot and tried to
shoot the birds, which were near By where
Reeves was cutting corn.-MemaSsaS Gazette.
THE ERIE ROAD. The report made by the
London accountants of their investigation into
the affairs of the Erie Railway Company states
that but for the deficit of 1856, 444 shown by the
connected profit aud loss account, as existing
Sept. 80, 1871, $27O 900 would have been avail
able, subject TO the adjustment of outside mat
ters, for dividend GU common stock after the
pdylucul vi lOut ulRlueuuS Ou Tue pTcICTTeu
stock for two years, ending June 80, 1878 The
accountants anticipate that the value of re-
coyeries from Jay Gould will fall very far short
Of their nominal amount. An abstract of the
statement OF the assets and liabilities of the
company to September 80, 1872, shows the
liabilities to be $ll5,449,2ll, aud the assets

The recent excavations 10 the Roman Coli
scum are of great Importance and interest to
antiquarians. The original pavement of the
arena has been laid bare, and the passages by
which wild beasts were brought to the Coliceum
have been opened. Various Ingenious theories
propounded by learned men in former years as
to the manner 10 which the exhibitions of the
arena were conducted have been blown to the
winds by the recent discoveries, aud it will be
interesting to note to what extent other exca.
vaions in other parts Of Rome will upset our
present idea OF Roman manners and customs

Local Mining Matters.

Charles O. Brown has this week been out in the Whetstene mountains look ing for the somewhat noted Whetstone mine, known to have been extensively worked many years ago, but did not find it. He found a canyon with number of springs which form quite $ stream, and plenty of ash and walnut shrubbery and wild grapes also several stone houses, the largest of which was about fifteen feet square. It is not exactly clear whether the houses were built for miners or mes. cal makers, but there being very little mescal in the neIghborhOod it is believed they were for miners.
 MT. Brown and others leave to-day for the Gro Blanco mines where tLere are eight arrastrars running on the Ward mine and more are being put up. Parties in from there this week, report the work ing of 5000 pounds of ore with a yield of S90 gold.
 P. Forbach has recently discovered a rich silver and copper mine only two and one-half miles south of Sacaton Station, and has men at work on it now. He is now on the lookout for other mines, and says that before long he ex- poets to find placer diggings not far from old Camp Reno, beyond McDowell
 Men are at work in the copper district west of Tucson, sinking wells and open ing the mines, and we believe quite number of miners are at work in the Papago district.

The New Comet.

Our people are favored with nightly view of what the press calls "the new comet" It is seen early in the evening in the northwestern sky at an angle of about 45o with the horizon, with a tail apparently about six feet in length visible with the naked eye. To give our readers a bit of scientific history relative to this comet, we quote the following from The New York Herald of June I5:
 This new cloud of cosmical dust is to be- come in a few weeks one of the most splendid meteOrs ever witnessed. It was first discovered on April l7 ultimO, by M. COggia, at MarseilleS, small, but having an intense nuclear condensation. It's polar distance was about twenty degrees, fifteen minutes and twenty-three seconds, and it was moving slowly towards the southwest. It was first visible in the early morning, but is now also visible in the evening. It has been increasing in brightness. and, by sharp and somewhat practiSed eye. can be seen in the cOnStella- ton Camelopard in right ascension about seven hours and declination about seventy degrees north. It is now receding from the sun and is dimming in actual size and brightness, but as it is approaching nearer to us its brilliance is apparently aug mented.
 Comet II. of 1874, is wholly outside of the eath's orbit, but as it moves on it's fiery track, will on the Sd of August attain it's maximum beauty and brightness for us. When first deserted by M. Coggia its brightness was only one in the scale, now it is nearly seven; but after the 1st of July it will reach much higher degree of luminosity, and on the 3d of August will have a brightness of two hundred and forty-five. These figures will afford the reader an idea of what an astronomic treat he may look forward to in August.

Railway Progress.

It seems that the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad is to be extended southwestward right away. General Tick ct Agent, NJ. L. Sargent, early in May, wrote as follows to MT. Stephens of Trini- dad:
 We had our annual meeting yesterday. The same board of directors were reelect- ed, who elected Thomas NickerSon, presl- dent, and F. H. Peabody, vice president. The directors are unit in favor of eXten- sion, and have a scheme about perfected that believe will work. now feel conf1- dent for the first time that we will get from one hundred to one hundred, and twenty five miles more road before long.
 Fully, Ochoa & Co. made one shipment of goods by wagon from Granada, the pres ent terminus of the A. T. & s. F. railroad, and are now making another. With l25 miles additional of railway, the induce ments for freight and travel that way will be largely increased.
 As will be seen by late dispatches and paragraph copied into to-day's paper from the san Francisco Bulletin, there is a fair prospect for early work on the Texas and Pacific from the San Diego end, and it has been decided to this year build about nine ty miles on the eastern end. After con siderable work is done on both ends, the managers of tho road will make the strongest possible exertion to fill up the gap, for it will be profitable to do it. Roads ending at no very important point, are comparatively speaking quite unprofita- bic; and such will be the case with the eastern and western ends of the Texas and Pacific while the main line is not fully fin ished.

THE BOY WITH THE HICKORY SHIRT.

A fig for your upper-ten boys,
 With their canes and cigars and eye
 glasses, Their dandified airs and soft eyes, Winking down on each girl that passes. They may guZzle clambake and cham
 pagne
 And pride in their high birth; But give me that lad that goes plain, The boy with the hickory shirt. He is round as a barrel, and brown AS the peach in the mid-autumn sun; From the sole of his foot to his crown, He is brimful of frolic and fun. Not afraid of hard work or of cold, He is fearless and rough, without hurt; His honor's as good as pure gold The boy with the hickory shirt. To say his big heart cannot beat With kindness for parents and
 brothers, Would picture his traits incomplete, If his sisters shared not with the
 others. In fact he's broth of blade; I can't fathom how much he is worth; But the poor girls fortune is made, That gets Jim with the hickory shirt.

The Home of Hon. Y. J. BidwelI.

It may be justly doubted whether the improvements of our friend can be, found to have an equal within one hundred miles of him. Though an Arizonan in head and heart, and identified with Ari- zona's history and interests, he is living, strange to say, on the California side of the Colorado, and west of Ehrenburg His herd of horses number ten, and his stock with horns and hoofs, one hundred and fifty. Fifteen acres of his ranch are fenced and five are in garden cultivated in large varieties and of the best quality, and irrigated by means of a steam pump of 6-horse power, and capable O: supply ing 1S,000 gallons per hour. Here evapOra- tion is marvellous and goes on as by steam power. Already three feet of water have been thrown upon some of his vegetables and the fourth foot will be required to bring them to maturity. He deserves sue cess. For some time he has supplied the Ehrenburg market. His prospects are blooming for watermelon harvest.
 His intelligent companion is the daugh- ter of Rev. John Bishop, and is worthy of being bishops daughter, and talk es a lively interest in all of bis financial con- cerns as true and faithful helpmate; though so lately in the schOol-room where by years of earnest devotion to teaching she established an enviable reputation.
 And now, if you will not tell any body I told yod, will say that Judge Bidwell in- tends to move over the flowing Colorado all Of his effects as soon as he can with fl nancial safety and build up a permanent home in our beloved Arizona.

Military Telegraph.

The advantages gained by the construc- ton of the Arizona military telegraph, induced Congress to pass the following bill which the President approved June 3, 1874:
 Be it enacted, etc., That the Secretary of War be and he is hereby authorized to construct and operate line of telegraph, beginning at or near the city of Dennison, in GraySOn county, Texas; thence by the nearest practicable route to Fort Sill, Ind ian Territory; thence to Fort Richardson, line of settlements to Forts Griffin and Concho; thence to the Pecos river at or near the mouth of Toyah creek; thence to Fort Clarke, on Las MOraS creek; thence to Fort Duncan, on the Rio Grande; thence down the Rio Grande via Fort Mcintosh and RinggOld's Barracks, to Brownsville, so as to connect the military posts which are now or may hereafter be established on said line with the military headquar- terS of said district; and that the sum of SlO0,000, or so much thereof as may be nec- essary, be, and the same is hereby appro- priated out of any money in the Treasury of the United States not otherwise appro. priated.
 It is quite probable Congress can soon be induced to authorize the construction of a connecting line between the two most ac- cessible points in Arizona and New Mexi- co. Judged by the income of the Arizona line, it is almost certain such a connec- ton would be justified as a strictly busi- ness measure.

Cachise's Dying Declaration Off,
 cially Reported

Although not wholly new, we give the following Alta dispatch dated Washing ton June 26:
 The Commissioner ot Indian Affairs has received letter from Indian Agent lief lords, in which an account of the death of the Indian Chief Cachise is given. Ca chise's last words to his people were in structing them all, men, women and chil- dren, to come to the agency and forever live at peace with our people, and to look for JehOrds; also, to do as he Jefford'sl told them; and to see that none of the bad Indians should harm him; that so long as they obeyed Jefford's they would be hap py people. The officers of the Indian Blu reau say that Cachise kept faith with our people according to his word given to Gen. Howard.

THERE are two elements of success in the world, f1attery and insolence; some use one mode, some the other, but the most successful use both or either as the occa- sion requires.
 The above is untrue, else why did not a persistent use of both succeed a few months ago in Tucson? Obsequious and selfish fattery fails sooner or later, and tryannfcal insolence can have but short success in free country.

AMONG the late disprtches to The Alta

AMONG the late disprtches to The Alta, we find these of interest to Arizona:
 The General Indian Appropriation bill as finally passed appropriates S500,000 for subsistence of Apaches in Arizona and New Mexico, sum which is one third too small for the service. The Dcpartament will be somewhat embarrassed by the ac- tion.
 It is said that Judge Holt, Judge Advocate, to whom the President referred the findings in the Howard Court of h. quiry, for review, has reteurned the same, fairly riddled and destroyed by legal crit icism and comments.

 WASHINGTON, D. O., May 26, 1874 Sir: I have received your communica- tion of the 18th instant reporting your visit to the reservation at Hot Springs, New Mexico, set apart with the intention of locating thereon the Apaches in Arizona under Cachise and also the Apaches at the Tulerosa reservation in New Mexico.
 You recommend in view of all the cir cumstances, the removal of the Apaches at Tulerosa, and the establishment of the agency at Hot Springs at as an early date as practicable.
 Your recommendation is approved, and you will take the necessary steps to carry the same into effect. It is suggested, how ever, that in view of the limited amount of funds now on hand, which could be made applicable for these purposes, that any action which will occasion expen- allure of funds be delayed until the com mencement of the next fiscal year.
 A copy of executive order dated the 9th ult., setting apart the reservation in ques- tion is trasmitted to you herewith.
