Odds and Ends.

THE mines on Cave creek, Mar icopa county are attracting some attention. We hear of one sale at S17,000 and of another at $9000.
 The rate of taxation in Yavapai county has been fixed at three per cent. The tax collected for gen. eral county purposes is $1.64 per $100 assessment.
 The Enterprise clamors against the practice of opium smoking at Prescott, indulged in there by "from leading citizens down to lowest harlots." It calls upon the town authorities to suppress the Chinese opium dens on Granite street, where said citizens resort for practicing the shocking vice. That is breaking out in a new place with 9 vengeance.
 THE Southern Pacific railroad six per cent gold bonds are report ed sold in New York August Sth at 70! to 703. Rather low price.
 Crop prospects in the Little Col orado country are excellent. Heavy rains have fallen during the past two months and every thing looks bright and promising.
 The Riverside News reports the finding of a petrified whale about 100 feet long, out on the desert. The bones arc well preserved and also some of the flesh. Specimen pieces are shown at ROe's drug store. Next!
 An eastern paper contains this squib: President Thomas A. Scott of the Pc nnsylvania Central rail- road gets $175. eco a year for being a railroad lord. He don't strike for wages. The laborers on the same road, who get only 90 cents day, strike. Any blame to them for it?

ATTENTION is called to the h. dian and War Correspondence ac- companying this copy of the SEN TINEL. It is official and speaks for itself. It shows what a fiabby, milk and water outfit the Indian Bureau really is, and how touchy the army has become. Military off cers have boldly charged theft and falsehood upon Indian agents, in print and officially, and without proof; the Indian Bureau has not had spunk enough to resent it. Cum telegraphS to Kautz that ''no escort has been asked for from Arizona, nor will any be accepted" and straightway that doughty warrior, who has writ a record in "scenes of blood at sight of which things of ink would faint,' com plans to the war department of the "discourtesy." Then all the brass-:nountcd big-bugs take up the matter, from pursy Mcdowell to cadaverOus Sherman, and the weak-kneed Indian Bureau, which has meekly swallowed most brutal official military insults, directs its agent to explain this matter of "discourtesy." The correspon- dence has been already published in the Citizen, but it is worth read ing and is in itself enough to show that no Bureau can handle Indians, which has not backbone enough to assert its rights and protect its own dignity.

A NEW Supervisor is to be ap- pointed in place of H. s. Fitzger- ald, resigned. MT. A. Lorette was chosen to fill the last vacancy on the grounds that he had receiv- ed a large vote for that office at the last election and had therefore demonstrated that his appoint ment would be acceptable to a large number of citizens. By the same course of reasoning MT. Geo. ". Blair is entitled to be appoint ed to the supervisorship now va- cant. He and Lorette received exactly the same number of votes: there being a tie, neither was de- clared elected. His appointment would make the Board h0mOge- nous; the three seats would be fill ed by men who had received the highest number of votes. VOX pOpuli, voX Dei.

The Cant About Interference iEa
 Politics.

Hayes wish was law to the Cleveland Convention. - Trans cript, Policy Organ.
 So say all the policy organs. They enter into details by adding that the President has been writ ingIetters to Ohio, urging the nom- inatiOn of Judge West and leg ging for conciliatory actiOn;in oth- erwordS, using his official influence in d political convention. And the worst feature of this affair is that they boastfully refer to this interference in politics" by a President who has pretended that non.interference in politics is the proper condition ofa persons hold ing federal office. Now. can anybody tell Us why, under the Presidents $ own rule, ne ShOuiu not De caileu upon to resign his office? Had d "nere politician" taken the course thus bOastfully attributed to Pres ident Hayes, he would have been bounded desperately ny the pro- fessional reform pack. Are we to understand that the rule Is per manently suspended in behalf Of those who interfere in politics" on the Presidents side? Why cannot the "reformers" be truth full enough to keep up at least an appearance of consistency? It is about time for this huge hyp0c risy to stop.

Swfnsliing by Telegraph.

August F a telegram signed Daniel Holland was received here by J. Nj. Barney, requesting him to place with David Neahr $500 10 the credit of l.. NJ. Jacobs & Co.,, of Tucson. Holland being un- known and having no funds, no notice was taken of the telegram here at Yuma. Soon after tele- grams were received by l.. M. Jacobs & Co. at Tucson, signed with the names Of Barney and Neahr representing, respectively, that the $500 had been paid and received. On the strength of these telegrams Jacobs & Go. paid over the money to the swindler at Tucson and supposed everything was correct until they were un- deceived by mail. Meanwhile the rogue Git out" It now seems that the wire was tapped some where between Tucson and Mari cOpa and operated with pocket instrument in the hands of some confederate of the swindler.

 The indications are that many of these machines will be put to work in the hills and gulches ad- jacent to Lynx Creek and other placer districts. In Weaver dis trict one is at work. and the result has been declared very 1attering.
 The nutritious grasses of Ari- zOna are quite unlike those of Ca lifOrnia.

We are al- ways in possession of sufficient pasture to keep our herds from hunger. Stock in dry seasons may not keep as fat as it would be the wish of their OWHerS tO see them, still such thing as suffering and starvation, which is the case in California every season visited with d drOuth, is out of the ques ton.
