Crops and Prices in ssit River
 Valley.

From what was deemed reliable ;n- formation @ couple of weeks ago, We stated that the late crops Tn Salt River valley w.re partial failure, but that the early crops were large. Some un- known to us) party objects to our statement bu; proffers no information. Thursday morning, we telegraphed Geo. E. Mowry, Esq, for a brief crop report and prices, and here is the re- ply:
 PHnsIx, September 6.-JoHN WAS SON: The condition of the summer Fops is good No lack of wafer for nlgation. Eight million pounds of sheat and barley thrashed. Wheat and barley held at two cents strong One hundred and fifty thousand pounds of sweet potatoes in the valley.
 GEORGE E MowRY
 From this it will be seen that with all the lack of ram, there is an i'm mense crop Tn Salt River valley. When it is understood that perhaps not one tenth of the fertile land of that valley is under cultivation, it will be easy to understand what an immense amount of grain, fruit and vegetables can be grown there With perfect and eco- nomical system of irrigation in that valley, it is impossible to even approx. lmate the quantity of its products. Then we have Jeff the Gila valley, of 400 miles in length, the Little Cobra do, Verde, San Pedro, Santa Cruz and other smaller valleys, some of which have abundant late crops.

ONE of the remarkable features of the times, IS the number of failures ot Ssvlngs' banks and Insurance compa- nies. The latest reported Is the State Investment bank in Chicago, whose savings depositors varied from l2 GOO to I6,00O The institution has been in operation for twenty years, and had gained the complete confidence of the people only to disappoint and rob them ;n the end. The chi f officers of the bank made an assignment and ran away, and have not been heard from. The distress caused by this failure, so near winter, is hard to estimate The 12,OO0 to 18,O0O savings ieposi,ors, are without doubt mostly people ID mod crate circumstances Within a year several Savlngs banks and a number of Life Insurance companies have fail ed in New York and other eastern cities. These failures have carried Ter rible distress into thousands of fami- lies. People cannot be too careful in placing theIr earnings ln the hands Of other men, even if they are organized bankers. In this connection, il Is just to say that very few Insurance compa- nies have failed on the Pacific coast, and DO Savings bank that we know of; and yet one or two are now run ming in San Francisco that offer 10 pay much above current rates of interest.
 and they ought to be avoided by every
 person

 In the ordinary manner ofamalgama- ting gold and silver ores, water Is used with the ore and me cuTy, and expensive chemicals are frequently added. the effica- cy Of which is impaired, or entirely neu- tralized, by the metallic iron employed which causes precipitation Of the cooper and base metals, useless loss Of me rcu- ry, baser bullion, and great loss Of the precious metals.
 But when the Hunt.

No pre- clpitation of the copper, or base metals, takes place, as they are held in solution by the bath. And none of the metals. ex- cept silver and gold, are precipitated and amalgamaied, ,-causing but slight loss Of mercury, giving a nearly pure amal- gam, and higher yield Of gold and sil- ver,-in many eases nearly equaIing the fire assay.

Another letter carrier, this time in Balti-
more, has been arrested, charged with rob
hing the mails. An account of his arrest
says he was searched and portion of the
marked money sent in decOy letters, found
on his person. This OF course makes up a
strong lTiHd Gdcie case, and one on which he
will doubtless he convicted. Very properly
the law makes the rifiing OF letters a very
serious offence. and in view OF the certainty
of hnal detection 1t is astonishing how often
crimes OF this character are reported. \ dis
honest carrier might continue robbing let
tiers with impunity il the loss of money
transmitted was not reported TO the post
Office authorities. This once done experienced
detectives are detailed to "work up the
case" and IL is sometimes months before
they obtain clue TO the thief. Their plans
are then so skillfully laid that escape is i'm
possible. The suspected party is always
under the closest surveillance, and be he
ever so cunning In his operations, his detec-
ton is inevitable. II dishonest carriers
and there are but few comparatively among
large number OF faithful and overworked
public servants-could only realize the peril
in which they place themselves in tamper-
ing with the mails they would certainly
come TO the conclusion that honesty is the
best policy they can pursue.

A novel festival is in progress in New
York, the object being TO test the quality of
the lager bier made by different American
manufacturers. On the opening of the festi-
val the gentleman who assumed the role of
King Gambrinus made an address. in which
he said the purpose OF the festival was TO de-
crease the importation OF lager bier by show
ing the superiority OF the American proiucV
fion. About q score OF brewers sent six kegs
each, which are carefully wrapped in can
vas 80 as to conceal the names OF the manu-
facturtrs. The kegs are numbered, and Wis
itors after testing the quality OF the fluid
write on a ticket the kind they prefer, the
brewer receiving the most ballots being en-
titled 10 a prize for the best bier. II has
been . open secret that for several years
past l. any brewers have adulterAted their
bier b. the introduction ofcor'ain deleteriOus

Some delving newspaper CORES pondent
thought he had struck a bonanza when he
discovered that one William A. Wheeler had
procured a contract for arms from the gov
eminent way back in 1851, and forthwith
jumped 10 the hasty conclusion that the con-
tractor was no less a parsonage than Vice
President William a. Wheeler. The Vice
President gives the story prompt and en-
phatic contradiction, and, after reading his
Straightforward letter, everyb body will come
TO the conclusion that IL was "not that man,
but another man." IL seems there were at
least three other William A. Wheelers known
TO the country at that time, and it is probable
that one OF these was the gun contractor

The railroad strikers still hold possession
al Martinsburg, and refuse TO allow the
movement of any freight trains. There has
been no interference as yet with the pas
senger trains, for the reason that the firemen
and other employees on the latter are not
so much affected by the reduction of wages,
As they generally make full time and short
trips. and are not compelled TO lay over at
points on the road and board themselves.
The freight firemen allege that they can only
make two and three days a week under the
present regulations. They average much
less than dollar per day, but are yet sub
Ject, they say, to the cut OF ten per cent.
OF course whatever are the grievances OF
the freight men they cannot be allowed to
dictate mob law over the road. and If the
state government Of West Virginia is una
bic TO scatter the rioters, doubtless, United
states troops will be called into requisition.
IL Is 10 be hoped, however, that the mis-
guided men will see the rash impOlicy of the
stand they have taken, and that they will be
morally and legally responsible for any
blood shed through their action.
