THE MURAT MILLING Co, of Turkey Creek District, has at Co., lorado Station several car loads of fire brick and what looks like a rotary, cylindrical roaster of great size. This must be design ed to accompany the ten stamp mill lately hauled home by them from Ehrenberg. They also have a number of heavy cast iron plates, which look as if made only for a sampling floor. This would in- dicate their intention of buying ores for the mill, as we'll as of working their own rock. The fire bricks are peculiar, more than half of them being formed like section of 8 prism, flat on one side and with an ogee and bead on both the other two. Our ab- domen is azure enough to entitle us to "guess out most anything, but these bricks we give up.

That Telegraph Line.

Two weeks ago the SENTINEL urged that the U. s. Military telegraph line between Yuma and San Diego be taken down and re- erected between here and Mo have. The reasons given were good, and have been generally accepted as such by the Press. The only valid objection made is that Arizona would thus be dis connected from the lines of the Western Union at San Diego, and be left at the mercy of the Allan tic & Pacific. Arizona was for years at the mercy of the greedy Western Union, and yet pros pered. The trifling risk of ex- tortion by the liberal A. & P. can- not weigh against the certain ad- vantages to the whole Territory of telegraphic communication with Mohave County. San Diego papers reviIe us for advocating the withdrawal from there of the Military Telegraph. They are so completely cowed, that they can. not conceive that the trade of Ar izona is worth enough to compete for. If the Western Union Com. pany has not enterprise and vi- tality enough to build 1S0 miles of telegraph line from San Diego to Yuma, thereby competing with the Atlantic & Pacific for Arizona business, then neither has it strength enough to cope with the latter, even as matters now stand. Arizona wants telegraphic con- munication with Mohave County, one of the richest sections of the world. We have pointed out the proper, speedy way to get it. We have shown the proper province of this 1S0 miles of U. s. Military
 wire; it is to develop Mohave County, and not to nurse San
 Diego nor to pamper the Western
 Union. The cry of monopoly emanated from the latter; there is nothing in it. The Western
 Union needs connection with Ar
 izona, is able to make it, and will
 make it, just as soon as the San
 Diego Military Telegraph line is
 laid to Mohave.

WE PROTEST. - A rumOr is abroad that the Western Union Telegraph Company is about to buy the Military line between here and San Diego. Let the w. U. Go. build to Yuma them selves, instead of buying the Mil itary line at a quarter of what it actually cost the Government. Arizona wants that wire taken down and re-erected, either be- tween Yuma and Mohave or be- tween the latter place and Pres colt. MohaVe County has been left out in the cold long enough. It is the only county that has no wire, no mails, and no fair treat ment at the hands of the Gov. ernment.

 EDITOR SENTINEL: Every header in the valley is constantly busy, and on all sides the crops are fulfilling the promise of an exceptionally large yield. There is no lack of harvest hands this year, the fame abroad of Arizona having brought in in from California and the East a numer- ous immigration, among which there are net few professional "tramps," who get their living by their wits or their check" rather than by their muscle.

On May 29th the mail rider was killed by five Indians near Camp Bowie. Lieut.. West was sent out with. six soldiers and two Apache scouts. He found the Indians within two miles of the riders corpse. They fired. and he hid in gulch. The soldiers fired a few shots, when Lieut.. West ordered a retreat. Four of the five Indians came out and shook their blankets and hallooed at him. This IS the story publish ed by Roscoe l.. Bryant. For the credit of the army we hope he was mistaken, although he claims to have been an eye witness. Four lousy savages, with hands still moist with an American cit. izen's blood, came out, shook their rags, slapped their butts and shouted Apache Billingsgate al an army uniform. supported by eight we'll armed men! And the uniform ran away.

Cut and Dried.

To-day the Yavapai Democracy is to stalk forth in all its import ance and select the men who want to name its candidates, con. trol its action and lead it by the nose as they list. A number of hard. d.headed, shrewd and intelli- gent men from the mining camps and farming districts of Yavapai County will meet at Prescott as delegates to the County Conven- tion. They go in good faith, in- tending to help organize the party; but they are men of ac. tion and industry; they will find themselves in company with a minority of men of speech and leisure; unaccustoned to ad. dressing audiences, they will hes. itate to express their views or preferences. Some politician will cali the meeting to order, state its object, and move that John Doe be elected chairman. Most of the delegates will con. sider John Doe a hummer, but, disliking to "speak out in meetin'," will keep quiet and let the ayes have it; secretary will be elected the same way. John Doe will name committees on or. der of business, resolutions. nomi- nations for county committee &c. Buncombe resolutions will be read denouncing radical, black Repub- licans. Spread eagle speeches will be made exhorting Democrats to stick to the party and vote only for regular party nominees. The county committee will be elected, the meeting will adjourn, take a drink, and sll the honest, sensible delegates will gohome wondering what in thunder they ever came to the convention for. A sickening conviction will steal upon their minds that they have simply been made use of to lend responsibility to a little ring ot politicians; !; that a job has been put up on them that John Doe was long ago selected to be theil chairman; that when he took the chair he had in his hand a list (pre' pared days before) of the names Of men who were to be put or committees, where they could dt the least harm; that the buncombe resolutions were written before hand, in readiness for that com mittee {; that the committee or nominations was 8 pre-arranged one, and that the nominations had been quarreled over, compro missed and arranged at Prescott weeks ago. Lack of practice vii make the manipulation of this convention clumsy. The hones delegates will see that the whole thing has been "cut and dried This organization is too thin anG won't wash. It may be that some smart hummer, who has been lief out of the ring. will spoil tn, whole programme right at the start by nominating and electins some one else than John Doe; ont who will name committees no expected.

of the Tradgedy.
Charleston JoWmal Of Commerce.
Tho community of the Upper
Wards were. startled Thursday by
tho announcement that the late
Judge Graham's family were all on
their death bods, having partaken of
poisoned food. During tho entire
day their residence, corner of Spring
street and Rutlego avenue, was
crowded with anxious friends Of the
family, inquiring as to their condi
ton. Tho circumstances Of the
case, as far us can be learned, are as
follows
Mrs. Graham's sister resides in
tho upper portion of this State on
tho borders of North Carolina her
daughter, Miss Mccall, Mrs. Gra-
hams niece, on Saturday last deci-
dcd to visit tho Graham family in
this city, and spond little time
with them, and her mother availS;
herself of the opportunity of sending
or having her take with her to Mrs.
Graham somo country delicacies,
such as swoet-meats, pies, and eight
fine chickens which she had roasted.
In the preparation of these pies and
chickens dressing salt was used,
which was purchased the day before
from country grocery store, and
this salt it is now. supposed was pois-
onod. The ground from which this
supposition is based is that cargo
of salt was on her voyage either to
this port or Wilmington, on the
cargo was Il number of casks of
arsenic.
The vessel had q rough passage,
and is reported to have been
wrecked on hor voyage. Water
got into the cargo, portion of the
salt was melted, and tho arsenic
casks wore injured by the water
also. And it is conjcctured that tho
saltw lying at tho bottom and was
well saturated with arsenic, poison
ing it. When tho vessel arrived Mt
her port, which has not yet definite
observation-disclosures say at Whining
ton, others in this city-the cargo
was discharged, the salt dried and
sold, and this country merchant
purchased several sacks of it from
them, and is selling it to his custo~
mers, not knowing that it contains
poison.
This is only the r,,mor that is
ahoat, and that has not yet been
definitely ascertained still it ap-
pears quite plausible. However, this
might be, to return to tho dolicacies,
we find Miss Mccall arrives in this
city Tuesday night at 10 o'clock,
and goes to her relatives, the Gra-
ham family. She delivers the PRES
ents from her mother to Mrs.
Graham. Two of tho family the
same evening partook of a portion
of tho chickens, and during the
samo night were taken i'll Nothing
was thought of this, and the next
morning all partook at the break
fast table of the same poisoned
dish. Mrs. Graham, Miss Mccall,
Miss Lizzie Graham, Mrs. Graham's
four sons--and afterwards the
two female servants, tho cook and
chambermaid--and during that very
day all nine were taken down, ono
after another, with tho most excru-
ciating pains. Medical assistance
was called in, when it was discovered
that tho entire family had parta
ken of poisoned food.
They NIL suffered during the
balance Of the day and the following
