The Fl PasO Troubles.


 Our Mesilla dispatch last week an. nOunced the killing of Louis Cardis by Chas. H. Howard. Now comes in The Independent two lengthy state ments from Howard, evidently written before the killing, in which Howard makes out terrible case against Car dis, the gist of which is that Cardis made the salt troubles a pretext for exciting the people to riot and effect the murder of Howard. There is much mole charged by Howard.
 We have only aimed to get at the truth, and we are advised by men in whom We have the most implicit con- idence that the salt troubles alone oc- casioned this trouble; that Cardis ad. yIsed the people to let the law take its course, and generally hls Conduct con- .i3ll ilcteel.,i cie dfsP75y eh tne-terribe charges made by Howard Howard by his own showing, had been and was al the time bitter personal enemy of Cardis

The failure of the Pioneer Loan Asso- ciaiIon in San Francisco, is nothing
 less than a pTemeditated robbery by J

 to very little to any body The Mar

 Cross k Co.'S failure surprises every
 body. It has stood number one in San Francisco since 1S4S The members of the firm are regarded as honest men and may resume business.

 The telegraph and newspapers have got up quite a war feeling bet } cen the United States and Mexico, and say the Mexican people do not approve of the peace policy of Diaz, especially in the matter of surrendering fugitives from justice under the eXtradition treaty.
 The press is generally discussing the late Ono election. Hardly any two agree as to what caused the great change or exactly what effect the change will have on the future of par ties and pubic measures. IL is believ- ed that silver will surely te remonetiz- ed by the next Congress.
 Chas. Sweeney, absconding Secretary of the Collateral Loan and Savings Bank in San Francisco, is supposed to have come to Arizona with about ST. 900, principally belonging to D. T. Meagher.

Railway Prospects.

The election of Mir Randall of Ph l adelphia, Speaker of the House oi Representatives, is regarded as favora ble to Col. Scoit's proposition for Con gress to aid the Texas Pacific railway If the Southern members are well unit ed on this measure, il will very likely receive aid enough from northern members 10 insure it's passage
 If the following Washington dis. patch be true, the Southern Pacific is determined on a through line 10 New Orleans, independent of public aid, and that at an early day. Referring to the Colorado bridge matter on the 10th instant, the dispatch says:
 Mr Huntington further stated that the company was prepared to push for ward their work on the road eastward this Winter at the rate of mile and a half per day. They have rails for 200 miles already on the Pacific coast. and by the time these are used up they will have more delivered. He further stat ed that all their arrangements were completed, whereby they would be en- abled to have the right of way through Texas, and in connection with the lines already built or building, have direct connection with New Orleans They expect within the next three years to be running trains through from San Francisco to New Orleans.
 This \does not settle the question of building \eastward this Winter, al though it assures the public that the company is prepared to advance the road at the raSe of forty-five miles per month The Winher is so much the best season for building bat if advance work be not soon done, witlAsuch ample prep arations, it may be taken AS evidence of purpose to await She action of Congress for or against the Texas Pa cific.

Some Interesting Sonora Items.

We have letter dated Guaymas October ,, which says Nothing stir. ring politically or nationally. All qniet down the coast and in the State Apache raids reported with some peo pie killed, but am not in possession oi particulars. Hardly think the raids big ones
 Hot weather, thank God, is about gone. Cool nights at least. Never since these famous Hebrew children (Shadrach and assOciates) were treated to that fiery bath Tn a furnace, was any place like Gusy mas the last four months. It has been hot enough to purify us of all trangression.
 Letter from Mexico city of August %, says all is going we'll on railroad matters. No doubt of the concession for the Sonora road being approved, and the writer feels confident that the road will be speedily built from here to HermosillO, in which case Stanford < Co. will have to build it northward to Tucson, or Scott & Co. will swing 1t to the northwest and connect in Tex as. What we want is start "-the road commenced.
 We have another letter dated San Fernando, Sonora, September 21, from which we take these rather interesting items:
 l have lately been to the Delicias, the home of the old Gov. Pesqueira, and had some talk with him. He seems to have presently gwen up his trip over your way, and is very hope ful that he will yet gain his point; but in the event he should succeed, be- lieye it would create trouble, and trou- ble would be sad at this time. We are completely drIed out" on the river. The greatest part of the corn and beans planted for the Fall crop Is a complete failure for the want of water. There IS less grass than was ever known in the country by the oldest inhabitants. Everything in the way of provisions have raised 50 per cent in the last two weeks
 We are still going down on our mine Had it surveyed yesterday for patent. l will here state what the laws of Mex leo require to get patent to a mine: First pay $6.50 for recording; then sink a shaft or run a tunnel ten varas deep | then comes the surveyor and gives your number of Yaras according to your company and pay him $15O a league for going and coming and 500 for the survey and his assistant Sl0; | then $2.50 for stamps; $125 for post age. So in all, our survey, &c., cost us $417o. And We get patent from the government of Mexico for 1900 varas in length and 200 varas in width. Our ledge measures to s feet in width of solid metal Me also have the.l-. t.h,.e.l-. Tight 10 enter one league of land ads joining the mine (which is here coy cred with mesquite :imber) for $4OO. You cannot get such bargains ln the United States.
 At BaGamichi on the 10th instant, the boys had kind of a free fight on account of party questions but none were killed Some used stones and others knIves.

Ar Oak Grove, about eight miles from Point of Mountain beyond Tres Alamos, the White Bros. have dug a
 well twelve feet deep and at that depth a stream of water comes pouring in. They have sent to California for wind mill, by which means they will raise water for thousands of head of cattle. Nearly every year, abundance of wa ter is found on the surface, and to get a supply so near the surface this year, is a guarantee that their ranch site was well chosen; and further suggests the probability of getting plenty of water in many places by digging even shal- low wells. The southeastern part of the Territory Is covered with pasturage, and in many places water can be found in brooks and springs almost every year, which argues that not very much digging would be required to get wa ter in the driest seasons. The valleys between the Dragoon and Chiricahua mountains and between the Chirica- huas and Stein's Peak range, evidently contain abundance of water very near the surface

lVNHE YOUNG MEN ATTENDING THE | Parochial School of St. Augustine. have organized a Base Ball Club under the name Of "ATizOna star Base Ball lClub," having no other object in view than to amuse from time to time the
 many citizens of Tucson, if in their turn
 they try tO encourage their efforts, by the organization Of Q contending Nine. They are ready to entertain any challenge sent to them by outside clubs at any time. We expect that the lovers Of the National Game which has lately become SO pOpu- lar throughout the country, will not fail to exercise their utmost influence for its introduction in our own city. Wake up young folks Of the West!

Rain Destroys oregon Crops.

SALEM, OREGON, October 5.-The skies are draped in mourning, the days are leaden-hued, and many peO- pie through our State are heavy-heart- ed at the loss of all or part of their harvest. There is scarcely a field in this valley that was not ripe and wait ing for the sickle a month ago, and yet there are thousands and tens of thousands of acres of grain almost or quite destroyed, that either have not been cut at all, or worse, never been put in shocks, and so suffered greatly from the continuous rains. Since the 1st of September we have had over five inches of rain; enough to ruin )most of the wheat exposed. Some wheat was thrashed and the sacks piled in the field, and was greatly damaged in the sacks; others was stacked in the sheaf, and if well stacked is not much injured. It is pitiabe to see the shocks growing greenly, or to see the standing gram sprouting, though much of the grain that was left standing has been thrown down by the heavy storms and is utterly ruined. The sufferers are numerous, and they include q great number of those persons least able to stand the loss.-COr. Record Union.

THE opinion of men who come here from California and other States is that war with Mexico is certain. We cer. tainly hope they are mistaken, but they insist they are not They talk as ii they kIew those in authority at Wash. ingtOn expect it. Perhaps there are some causes at work to provoke war not discovered by the argus-eyed news papers, but if there are not, there can hardly be a war with Mexico soon. Such a war would be acceptable to the ambitious officers of the army and to many others who understand how to personally profit by one; but we doubt if any considerable number of the bona fide residents on either side and near to the line from San Diego to the Gulf of Mexico, want either war or a change in boundaries, which a war would almost certainly bring about.

IT IS with no intention of attempting to detract from the merits of the Com. stock that we take occasion to remind people that there are plenty of other places where mining property will be likely to pay as well as there. Persons desirous of buying mines have a wide and varied field from which to choose. California, Nevada, Arizona, Montana, Utah, Idaho and Oregon have number less camps in which are numberless mines or claims only partially pros pected. In many cases good prospects may be bought for small amounts, or interests bought in well-developed properties. It is by no means necessa- ry to form a stock company in order to work mine, for as a general thing mines owned and managed by individ- uals are the most successful.-Mining & Scientific Press.

The Place for Settlers.

CAMP HUACHUCA, October 16, 1877
 EDITOR CITIZEN: It is found here of late that the Huachuca and Mule mountains are very rich in silver and some gold is found. Now is the time for miners and farmers to settle up the San Pedro valley. Good land is lying idle; rich mines are in these mountains not yet found, while others are found and not yet worked; good range for stock; good timber for building; first class outlet tO the best market in South ern Arizona. This portion of the country is well guarded There is in our midst a military camp commanded by Major Whitside, Sixth 5usi"y who is very prompt in sendIr;. o8t rtles in every direction and to cannot.1ery- thing IS safe. So will ;1CJ invite the people of Arizona wno have no homes to visit the Luachuca mountains and San Pedrofvalley.

 We happened to pass by Dr. Heint- zleman's office yesterday morning as he was dressing the wound on the head of the woman so fiendishly beaten up by the Indians at the Burro Spring thassacre. Her skull was broken, and to perform the operation of removing the broken pieces, it was necessary to remove and replace the scalp from the forehead to the crown of her head. Al this date the wound is nearly healed and with very little scar.
