TIE MINING OUTLOOK.

Reports from all parts of the
Territory, show that the prospect
for the successful working of the
mines and the reduction of the
ores, was never as bright as now.
The oft-repeated failures that
have occurred have not disheart-
ened our energetic miners, but
have rather braced and nerved
them up to a renewed and deter
mined effort to conquer every
obstacle. AS might have been
expected In a new mining coun-
try, however rich 10 the precious
metals, much had to be learned
Of the character of the ores to be
treated, before success could be
assured. That there were fail.
ures, disastrous. financially, to
those engaged in some of the
first experiments, we all know
too well. And we know equally
we'll that many of those failures
were but the inevitable result of
the incompetency of the parties
sent out to the Territory to super
intend the reduction of the ores.
But all this did not tend to damp
en- the faith of the miners of Ari.
IONA, either in the richness of
the mines or that the time would
come when science, skill and
perseverance would overcome
everything that stood in the way.
Through every failure and thro'
every disaster some important
and valuable lesson has been
learned.
One grand fact always stood
out in bold relief, and that was
the quantity of the precious me-
tails in the bosom of the Territory.
This was demonstrated every day,
until all miners and all men who
know anything about ores, are
convinced that In Arizona now,
there are more mines and richer
ores, even those partially uncov-
cred and displaying their wealth
10 the light of the sun, than are
known to exist in all the world
beside. And the miners with
perseverance and skill, are learn.
ing to extract the metals from the
ores successfully. We have re-
ports to this effect from all the
mining districts in the Territory.
They come from Prescott, from
Bradshaw. from Black Canon.
from Antelope and many other
mining localities in fhe interior,
and we have the demonstration
right here. at home, at the Castle
Dome Smelling Works.
Many men of weaker mould and
weaker faith than VIM. P. Miller,
might have given up in despair
at his first lack ofsuccess in snnelt-
ing his ores. But he was made
of different stuff. He saw where
the difficulty lay and felt that he
could conquer it. So dispensing |
with the services of scientific ad-
visers, he went at it himself, re.
nodded his furnace, ascertained
the proper fluxes, and has made
the operation a complete and tri-
umphant success
Therefore. we say, the mining
outlook is good. 1t is full of en-
enlargement to those who have
the pluck to hold on d little long
or. A success like that of Mr..
MiIler's will have the effect tof
bring other men of capital and
energy to'the Territory, for such
a success viii inspire confidence
in our mines, without which it is
useless to try to induce men of
capital to invest their money in

LER-HE Is RECOGNIZED AMI
CONFEssES THE CRIME.
STANwIx,. July 1.-THE party
who went in pursuit of the Mexi-
can, Ventura, who committed the
cold-biooded murder of G. r.
Whistler at Berke's Station on
the 18th inst, returned on the
night of the 9th with the prison
er. They made the capture near
the copper mines some sixty
miles south of here in the direc-
ton of Sonora. -,
When Col. Woolsey's party
came upon the murderer he was
on foot, having ridden down his
horse as well as that of the Stage
Company which he took with
him. Ventura at once showed
fight and tried to escape. After
some twenty shots had been fired
at him one Of the. pursuing. party
got down from his horse and took
aim, shooting him through the
left leg, when his capture was
speedily effected. He begged his
captors not to kill him, and they
assured him that they did not
wish to kill him but to take him
prisoner. On disarming him it
was found that his six-shooter
had but one load in 1t, and the
nipple of the loaded chamber,
had no cop upon it. He had threat
ened to shoot when they first
came upon him as a desperate at
tempt to frigh.ten them. The
captors at once started back with
their prisoner, and, as there was
no extra horse the party, took
turns in riding and put Ventura
on horseback. They arrived at
Berke's Station at ten O'Clock on
the night of the, 9th and turned
the prisoner over to the proper
authorities. - az. -,
When arrested Ventura ac-
kuowledged having done the
bloody deed, and when brought
in he was recognized by Mr.. w.
NJ. Matlock, the stage driver, who
escaped on the day of the MUIR
der. The prisoner also had in his
possession when taken the clothes
which he had stolen from the
Station. On searching his person
but ten dallars was found, which
he had secreted in his left boot.
LATER THE MURDERER IS
PROMPTLY AND QUIETLY HUNG
BY THE CITIZENS.
STANwIx, July 1.-THE search
of the prisoner, Ventura's person
having been concluded, and his
guilt having been fully establish
ed, he was then taken by a party
|! of citizens who had assembled
from various Stations and put in
to a wagon (he being unable to.
walk on account of his wounds)
and conveyed to a tree which
was at a convenient distance,
where he was quietly hung. He
would not make any further con-
fession at the place Of execution
the only words spoken by him
when the rope was adjusted about
his neck were, in his native
tongue, "My friends, / have moth.
ing to say" He met his fate
without further word or sign.
The party who trailed this
murderer oyer the mountainous
country and effected his capture
deserve the hearty thanks of the
whole community !; they have
well earned the reward that was
offered for his capture.
So ends this bloody chapter, and
another desperate has gone from
our gaze. s~eess

DON'T LEAVE THE FARM.
TIE GRANGER'S PLEA 70 HIS BOY

TIE GRANGER'S PLEA TO HIS BOYS.
Come, boys, | have something TO tell you;
Come near, would whisper il low
You are thinking of leaving the homestead
Don't be in Il hurry to go!
The city has many attractions,
But think Of the vices and sins,
Z When once in the vortex of fashion,
How soon the downward course begins!
You talk of he mines and their wealth.
They're wealthy in gold without doubt;
But ah! there is gold on the farm, boys,
If you'll only shovel it out
The mercantile trade is hazard;
The goods are first high and then low;
Better Isk the farm while longer
Don't b. in hurry to go.
The great busy West has inducements,
And so has the busiest mart,
But wealth is not made in day, boys
Don't be in a hurry to start!
The bankers and brokers are wealthy,
They take in their thousands or So
.Ah! think Of the frauds and deceptions---
Don't be In a hurry to 20.
The farm is the safest and sure,
The orchards are loaded to-day;
You are as free as the air of The mountains
And monarchs of all you survey,
Better stay on the farm awhile longer,
Though profits come in rather slow;
Remember you've nothing to risk, boys
Don't be in hurry 10 go.

Rather more than three hundred
years ago, u ship partly laden with
green birds captured in the Canary
Islands, having been wrecked near
Elba, the birds made their escape,
flew to the island, and settled them
selves. Numbers Of them were caught
by the inhabitants, and OH account Of
their sprightly vivacity and the brill
liancy of their voice they soon became
great favorites, and rapidly spread
over Europe. The original color of
the canary is not the bright yellow
with which its feathers are generally
tinted, but kind of dappled olive
green, black and yellow, either color
predominating according to circum-
stances. BY careful management the
bird fanciers are able to produce cana
ries of every tint between the three
colors, having instituted a set of rules
by which the quality and arrange
ment of coloring is reduced to regu-
lar system. Still the original dappled
green is always apt to make its appear
ance and even when two cOlored birds
are mated, green one is pretty sure
| to be found in the nest. For my own
part care little for the artificial va
rieties produced by the bird fanciers,
and to me an intelligent bird and a
good songster is not one whit the less
attractive because the colors of its
plumage are not arranged according to
! the fanCier's rules.

Indian Afrairs-Harvestins at San Car.
los - Another Renegade Apache
Killed-PrOErcss of the Verde In
iians-Sah State of the AIualapais.

PRESCOTT, July 5.-Advices from
San Carlos say that the Apaches on
that reserve commenced harvesting
their grain crops June 23d. 1t is said
that the crops have been very large.
In allowing these Indians to return to
their reserve after the causeless and
bloody outbreak of February last, Gen.
Crook made them understand that in
future their living must be gained by
hard labor, and in consequence of this
judicious decision they have since
been kept steadily at work with good
results.
Chacodi, an Apache of some note,
who absconded from his reserve a
month ago, was lately arrested in the
mountains bordering on Black River,
by Sergeant Pitrul ian efficient Apache
non n-commissioned officer in charge of
the first company of Apache Scouts)
whO ordered Chacodi to accompany
him back to Camp Apache for imprs-
0nment in the guard house-ChacOdi
attempted to escape and was shot
dead.
PRESCOTT, July e.-The Miner has
the following: The Apaches on Verde
Reserve number from 1880 to 1850.
They are we'll dressed, we'll fed, and
provided with nearly one hundred
good California horses; they have built
houses and villages after the manner
of white people, and all without cost
ing the Government one cent beyond
the appropriations for food their veg
etable and corn fields of fifty-seven
acres are now about ready for use. We
venture to say that if these Indians
are not again moved from their re-
serve, but are allowed to advance for
the space of three years in the paths
of civilization as rapidly as they have
done since May last, the country will
not have another tribe as orderly, as
we'll behaved, as industrious and pro-
gressive as this band, which, but fif-
teen months back, was being pursued
SO hotly through the mountains by
Gen. Crook and his troops. We wish
we could chronicle as satisfactory pro-
gress on the part of the Hualapais now
on the Colorado reserve. The heat
there is SO intense and the country so
barren that fifty of their horses have
died, and irrigation is impracticable,
so that no fields have been planted.
Altogether their situation is not en-
couraging, and we firmly believe the
selection of such q location as the resi-
dence of mountain Indians, who can
not withstand excessive heat, to have
been ill advised and precipitate.
