Cur Back Country Again.

Some time ago we called atten- tion to a lot of dried fruit brought down from Florence by Quinlin's train and shipped to Los Ange- les. Last Saturday night Redon- do shipped to the. same mar ket car load. (10 tons) of wheat from his ranch near Yuma. He sold it at handsome profit to the Aliso Mills. This was only an ex- pertinent, but it shows that in the New Italy we can now find a ready market for the agricultural pro- ducts of our "desert country" The nation will gradually learn that the shortcomings of Califor- mia have been saddled upon Ari- zona. "Intense heat" "desert," etc. are terms which the Los An geles people have Ingeniously shifted from their country toours; with equal cunning have they ar rogated to their section our attri- butes of climate, semi-tropical fruits, etc. Next season we may be shippil g them hay and pota- toes. But there is no rose without a thorn. While we take their money for our products, they give Us Chinese and would give Us small pOX, were this climate not too dry and electric for epidemic diseases. If this is not grazing country. why are the railroad pe0- pie erecting such extensive cattle yards here? whence come the tn )usands of bales of wool, whose shipment we chronicle? Go to-, Los Angeles! Claim us not as your back country. You are be- coming ours.

Is the sherifs Office vacants

He filed a bond which was ap proved according to law. That bond was examined by the Board of Supervisors at their January meeting and by them was referred to James Reilly, Esq, district At t0rney. He pronounced it imper- feet because there was no witness to the signatures of the bondsmen. That defect was remedied and the bond was taen laid safely away in the recorders safe. Some other lawyer has now been looking at it and finds that this bond was 2p- proved December 18th. 1876, filed November 29th 1876 and that it was never dated; consequently that it is no bond at all. Ergo; a bOndless.sheriff Is no sheriff and, as our sheriff is eX-0ficiO assessor and tax collector, these latter of fees are vacant also. The SENTI- MEL thinks otherwise. The sheriff filed a bond; the proper officers said it was good; that clears his re, ord. If the proper officers now s4y that bond is not good, they can compel him to give one that i-; that's all that's in it.

Now that Stevens has fairly set tled to his work at Washington, he should move for an appropria- tion to enlarge cur Territorial Pri- son and todefray the maintenance therein of United States prisoners. In every other Territory prisons have been bullion Federal money: Arizona alone has built her prison without aid. The funds at her disposal have been disbursed with a care and good judgment, that re- fleet credit on the commissioners. Cur pr:s n is the safest and most commoiiOus, of its size, on the Coast. It is built 0n plan that admits of its ready enlargement. It is not yet full. Some of its oc- cupants are prisoners of the United States. Other prison IS of the United States have been sent from this Territory to the California State Prison at San Quentin. This was wrong. As long as Arizona has te spend money to keep un her prison, she is entitled to every cent that the Government pays for supporting prisoners convict ed in Arizona courts. The Prison commissioners have never refused to receive United States prisoners under rsentence-convicts. Though they have, very properly, objected to taking prisoners held for trial; a Territorial Prison should not be made a jail. We are entitled to a Federal appropriation for enlarg- ing the Prison. Now is good time for Stevens to get it

 i fearful triple tragedy took place at Blackberry oa Sunday last. The particu- lars are as follows: Frank McNeal late of San Francisco, Robert White and two others played cards for q horse. White won, and stepped up to the bar to drink. McNtal told him il was customary for the winner to treat the crowd. hiJe said l will treat you, and threw down quarter more. McNeal said he would not drink unless he treated all that played. Where upon high words ensued between the par ties. White goi a bottle of whisky and went up to the mine and shortly after returned with his partner or comradc, ChaS. Rice. White entered the saloon where McNoai was sitting and commenced to call him vile names, and to use extremely abusive language; at the same time having his hand on his six shooter McNeal knew illII Il EG allCiH JlCu lO liicNC iiS hO'i'O DN' shot and so sat st!ll and held his peace. Not long after White again met McNcal and undertook 10 draw his pistol; McNeal sprang upon him, threw him down, wrestcd the pistol from and beat h.m over the head with it most soundly; Whi,e begged and Mac let him up.
 McNeal then told parties that he would have to leave the town, CT kill White or Rice or get killed, as both of these men were loud in their threats against him. He sent boy out after his horse, and while he was rolling up his blankets Rice appeared and, without any warning, commmenced firing, wounding McNeal some three or four times, from the effects of which he soon died. White and Rice fled and parties started in pursuit. They refused to sur

B. W. Connolly arrived in town yesterday with 1880 pounds of silver ore from his mine in Pioneer district MT. Ca!isher will forward the ore tomorrow to Mir. Ja- cobs, 23S Montgomery street, San Fran cisco. Mir. Connolly estimated the average assay of the ore at about S3000 per ton. He had one piece Of BOG pounds. and three or four boxes Of ore, that will assay $5000 per ton. We have not space tki5 week to mention all that Mir Connolly has told us about the mines in his section, but will give them full swing next week.
 It is notable fact that the Silva King was the first mining location placed on the records of Pinal county. Other locations were no doubt made at an earlier date than that of the King, but the fortunate discOv- erers of this wonderful bonanza were the first to patronize the county recorder. Our county may wei pride herself on having so lucky d starter.

WASHINGTON, November r, 1877.


 An important bill is under preparation by Assistant Attorney-General Marble in regard to land titles under Mexican grants in the States Of Colorado and Nevada and the Territories of Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico and .ArIzona. The bill provides for three Commissioners, who are to be ap- pointed by the president, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. and arc to hold office for three year, beginning with May l, 1878. All persons holding claims for land within the Stl.e5 and Ter r;toIies named are to appear before them b. counsel, and the Government is to be represented by two agents, both learned ill the law, and one of them skilled in the Spanish language The Commission is empowered to summon witnesses, examine them under oath, and pay them the same fees allowed by law in United States Courts, i the United States Marshal being empower cd to execute the p. OccsseS of the Commis sion. In ease the Commission finds it ne cessary to execute a survey, the Surveyor General within whose. district the tract in question Ii is is directed 10 perform the same, as well as to determine the boun- diaries upon which the Commission decides any case. From the decision of the Commission an appeal lies to the District Dourt in each State or Territory, and thence by writ of error to the United States Supreme Court. Where no appeal is taken, the decision of the Commission is final and the patent will issue forthwith from the General Land Office, The Commission CT of the Land Office IS given power to i'm pose rules in regard to the organization and conduct of cases before the Commls- sion, and is directed 10 furnish it with books of suitable form in which to record its decisions, which, at the close of the eX- istence of the Commission, will become a part of the records Ot Inc Land OLHce- This bill has been in preparation for number of weeks, and the advice of large number of the lawyers practicing before the department in land cases has been ob- tained in regard to its provisions. Its pas sage is highly probable.-[Cor.S F. Chron- icle.
