A shooting affray occurred in Qua
tay OIL Monday evening between two
Mexicans, in which one was killed
Deputy Sheriff Miller has gone out to
arrest the murderer, whose name is
Espinosa.
The British war steamer, Rocket,
Captain Harris, commander, arrived
in port yesterday, from the Lower
Coast. The Rocket left Portsmouth, 7
England, October 4th, 1874, and has
called at Maderia Rio Janeiro, Valpa
raiso, Callao, and Mazatlan, which
latter port she left "a days ago. The
steamer had rough passage through
the straits of Magellan to the Pacific
side, She carries crew of SO men,
has four guns, and propeller with
twin screws. On the voyage up, she
ran out of coal, water, and flour, and
came into San Diego for supplies. All
are well on board. The Rocket sails
hence ON Tuesday for San Francisco,
whence she will proceed to take sta
ton in the waters of British Column
bia.

JeaiouSy lSreporleu as Ine cause oi
the killing of the Mexican at Guatay,
by one Esponiso. The officers of the
law are still in search of the murderer,
but whether he has not escaped into
Sonora, where he is said to belong, is
uncertain.
AS yet we have heard of no interpo-
sition of executive clemency in favor
of the Indian boy, Felesario Alipas,
under sentence of death in our Jail, for
his part in the Rogerson murder, so he
will be hung tomorrow, between the
! hours of and 4 o'c.ock P. NJ, in the
jail-yard.

Yesterday afternoon Cotton was in
very high spirits and seemed to be
making the best of his situation. No
doubt darkness is stimulant for
philosophical meditation. He is con-
fined In the dark cell and therefore
gets no light. Asa party of gentle
men were looking through the Jail
yesterday, Cotton was heard walking
with measured tread In his cell,
whistling quite merrily the familiar
air "The Flying Trapeze." 1t is said,
however, that he is gradually failing
in spirit; his bravado is deserting him.
When visited by the officers who re-
moved his clothing and gave him a
change, he tremdled violently and
asked fthe Ora nd Jury ever hung a
man W ,out giving him trial. As Il e
Crane Jury has brought true bin
against him, the original shackles
will be placed upon him and he will
be guarqed with great vigilance.
Yesterday afternoon the blacksmith
made him visit and rivited on his
legs the shackles which were taken
otfwhen he was brought before the
Grand Jury. The murderer will have
four weeks in which to mediate upon
his fearful crime before being brought
to trial. aa re-.

SCHOOL MEETING.-There will be a meeting of the citizens of Williamson Valley tomorrow to form a new school district. Judge Cartier, County Superintendent, will be there, and we propose to go along to sec that he does the fair thing in inauguratng the first educational or ganization eyer attempted in that thriving neigh borbood. It is ne Kght thing to have been in- strumental in starting an institution that is to educate and fit coming generation of men and women for the duties of citizenship. There may be- and doubtless arc. better paying offices within the gift of dle people, Financially considered, than Superintendent c Public Schools, but there is none from Governor to Coroner, that is at tended with greater responsibility or that ought to be attended to with more concentous exact ness. Other officers may tamper with tue liber- tics of the people, with their pockets by over taxation, CT &efraud them by mafesance or de- falcatiOn, but the school officer holds in his hands, to some extent at least, the happiness and intelligence ef the rising generation for a whole lifetime

Too LxTE.-Mr. 4. s. Clough, of Point of Rocks, whose corn crop was as promising as any in the country, informs us that the raius came 500 late to do him any good. His corn was higher than his hcae, and if it had raincd ten days earlier than 1t diG his prospect for the finest yield ever obtained in these parts was irst-rate The rain, however, held of, and while it descend ed copiousy on his neighbors, in several refresh ing showers, it was not until the 18th of July that it rained on the Clough farm, and now his corn is past redemption, except it may be for fodder. This is the sixth year Ciough has lost his crop either by drouth or hail The few vines and vegetables left hiNl by the ar0uth this year were beaten into the ground by hail on Sunday night when they had 6 terrific haii storm in that locality. A man of less courage than Clough would have sought other grounds ere this, hut he holds on like grn death, and seems determin- cd to make it win.

BEGINNING fro ARRIvE.-D. P. Waterman
 wife and two sons, from Wicbata, Kansas, ar rived here on Wednesday. s. NJ. Waterman, one oftbe sons, left here on the 1lth of May and met bis folks at Santa Fe. The Watermans have been here before and know what they are about They intend to work the Gold Hill and Pine Mountain mines on Lynx Creek. With the above came James Miles from the same place with a wife and ten children. Mir. Miles is a house-carpenter and joiner, and will establish himself in Prescott. They represent the road lined with teams, men, women and children all bound for Prescott and Salt River. The Calen outfit Is thought to be about two weeks behind. They all have money enough to keep themselves until they find business, but fear some of the others will find hard scratching to get through the winter The misfortune with the coming immigration is that they are not seeking investment for capital in the develop ment of our mines, but fleeing, as it were, from the ravages of the grass-hoppers in Kansas and Nebraska, and many of them, on that account win nrrive here comparatively destitute. Let 1t be the duty of all of us to lend them helping hand, so far as we can, and put them in the way of doing something for themselves. There is enough in the ground and on the plains, if we only had capital to develop 1t and establish re .ductOn works and stock to fatten on the grass. to satisfy ali corners. But for the present capital Is shy.

A USE FoR BEDBuGs.-A correspondent of the Scientific American says: If nice fat bed-bugs are placed in a saturated solu- tion of nitrate of potash in water, and expos ed to the air for several days in an open vessel, there will he no apparent change in the bugs; but there will be in the odor, for now it is as delicate and delicious as before it was rank and disgusting. No doubt the odorous principle could be easily separated, perhaps by digesting with alcohol or ether; and if neatly bottled and labeled, it would yield a large profit 10 practical perfumers. The odor is unlike that of any other perfume I have ever smelt, and no one would suspect its low origin. This is one use for the cimex there may be others"

WILLOW CREEK.-On Sunday last. by way of recreation, we accepted an invitation from Geo. w. Curtis, Esq, to take ride in his spring wa- gon to the ranch of Mir HaskaII, on Willow Creek. The party consisted of Mir. Curtis, Mir Haskall, Capt. Hargrave and. last but not least, the editor of the MINER. The road was good, the air braciDg, the team in fine spirits and our selves in proper frame of mind 10 enjoy what We saw. After passing the Post gardens, at Fort Whpple, which showed luxuriant growth of vegetables, the next objects to attract attention were the walnut trees by the way-side, hanging full Of green nuts. These to an old Pacific coast CT, are pleasing novelty that he never tires of seeing and smelling; they carry him back to the days when in the long ago he vied with the gray squirrel in securing sufficient hoard for winter use.
 The corn-fields of Mir. Stevens, along Granite Creek, show we'll since the rain, and are begin ming to indicate the number of ears to the stalk by the appearance of the son, red stalk; often as high as five or six of these are seen above one ambitious root. Further on Mir. Stevens Will low Creek farms, and the residence of the owner. presents better appearance even than those on Granite Greek. Crossing the creek and passing the Stevens fields on the north side, we soon came to the Haskell ranch where tied up the team and took it a-foot through the meadows, corn fields, melon, beet, turnip, onion and cab bage patches. Native clover, wild gramma and other indiginous meadow grasses grow here in rich profusion, and fine field of old-fashioned timothy has been sown and now shows heads several inches in length. The clover has been moved once this season, is ready to cut again and only awaits the drying of the ground so as to bear up th team when a second crop will be har- vested. All kinds of ordinary vegetables grow to perfection on this ranch, and the corn crop promises a very large yield. MT. lesser, the boss, promises us a fine melon, as soon as they are ripe.
 Leaving the ranch for home we took another route up Willow Creek past the ranches of Alters. Smith, Ferguson, Simmons, and young Italian whose name we do not remember. These ranches all show good crops from the road, though We did not examine them closely. On our way home we had the misfortune to break the reach and bolster of the wagon, but, thanks to the ingenuity of Mir. Haskell, the damage was soon repaired with rope and strap sufficiently to proceed and arrive at home in time for dinner

LOOKING about over our town on Sunday after noon we were struck-not with a club-but with the many new houses that everywhere dot the town site like bright patches in an old fashioned quilt. Nearly every block in the place has had one or more new buildings erected during the season, and where they have not built new, many places new roofs have been put on and other ad- ditions and improvements made. We started in to count the new ones, but found the task hard one and gave 1t up.

CURIOUS FAcT.-Friction impedes the pro- gress of the railway train, and yet it Is only through friction that it makes any progress. This apparent paradox is explained when we remember that by reason of the frictional bite of the drivers upon the track, they draw the train. The bearings ot the wheel upon the rails are mere line where they come in con tact iron and iron, yet this slight and almost imperceptible hold is sufficient to move hun dreds of tons of dead weight with the speed of the wind.

VAsgTIoERTEY is the queer looking word that heads the new advertisement of Cram x Otis. It seems to be piled up, like the endless variety of goods in their store, without reference to which letter or article of merchandise comes first. c. & O. are enterprising and wide-awake to the wants of this people, and if an article is called for that is not in the market they slip over into California with their team and get it. Cram is gone on such an errand now.
