ra,al Accident nt Alc,anhra.

On Saturday last, September 29th, the butcher firm of Marson & Etchito at Alex audra. were Killing a beet, and as Etchitc stood with bloody knife in hls hand hold ing 1t out from his person to avoid getting his clothes bloody, his partner, Marson, who was passing quickly by him, slipped and fell agriust the kniic, which being very sharp entered the body of Marson, making a fatal wound of which he died in about three hours The deceased was buried at Alexandra on Sunday. These facts are furn- ishcd Us by Owen Martin, who came in from the Peck mine ve-trrday, and was there at the time of tac accident This is the first death that hH- ever occurred in Peck dis trict from any cause. SD far as We can learn and the ilourI,h.ug little City of Alexandra whose pride it has been until now, that it was without a grave yard, can make the claim no longer. X town of two years growth, surrounded by mining population of some hundreds, that can make such claim, needs no certificate as to it> sanitary character.
 The death of Mr Mars1n, was. We under stand, purely accidental. no blame attaching O any one. His death is regretted by all. but more especially, and deeply, by MT Etchito in whose hand the knife happened 10 be at the time of thc accident. l. is hoped that the growth ot the cemetery at Alexandra of which thi> occurrence forms a nucleus may here stop. and that at least another two years may roll away before another i> added Co its solitary occupant

Thc Indians are considerably excited. and consequently Kimball tclcgraphed to Fort Smelling for aid on "Wednesday last, and probably received reinforcement of a company infantry yesterday The Inoians are not aggressive, but watchful and suspic- ious. They have other minor grievances which will probably nccessitate the troops remaining in the vicinity of White Earth for some time.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC F. E. AS A MoNOP.
 OLY.

Sometime since we had occasion, through the columns of the MINER, to make refer ence to the enormous tariff being imposed on the citizens of Northern Arizona by the Kings who are seated in their L-o-a .toats and basking in luXuries, equalcd only by those of Cleopatra, whereby the consumers, although poor, still honest, are being robbed to the amount of $3,000 per month, to which alluslon the Sentinel Of the 2S,h ult., perti- nently remarks:
 If 100 tons of merchandise arrived in Prescott on any one day, by all the teams arriving from every direction, which We doubt, we certainly beiic,t it never hap pencd before, much less that it ever will again, and still less that it ever will. even once a month for ouc year or for ten years. Why then does not tua MINER continue it, calculations. T. the "overchargc of tbi, California railroad monopoly i- toIty-thou,- and dollars per year which IL k not even on the MINERS statement, for twelve times three thousand ar. n1, iHrty thousand) and S4O0,0OO for ten wears, il wou.d be Si,0O0.- GOO in 100 years, aau so on.'
 The Sentinel has a .ghi ,o think just what it pIcases, but that will not change the mai ter in the least. The people who buy and pay the freight on the goods landed in Pres colt ought to Dc pretty good authority in the premises, and as to Prcscotts' never having received one hundred tons of merchan- disc in any one day, why it Is one of com mon occurrence as We happen to know, hay ing been engaged in the freighting business in Arizona for over eleven years, and believe we understand the question in all its details.
 As to the Miller Brothers owning only five teams, as stated by the Sentinel, we would ask the Sentinel man to come again. Add l3 to and you will have the correct number; then multiply lS by 9 and you will have an aggregate of I62 tons which the Miller Brothers are capable of handling with tholr own teams, to say nothing of some ten to fifteen outside teams they keep employed almost constantly.
 The MINER was correct m every partCu- lar, speaking or the outrageous charges of the monopoly, and rather UndcrCstimatcd our grievances thlurXagg. rated them. Therefore we said about $3,uo0 p-l month or SiO,0oO per annum. The people ate thoroughly awakened to the importance of finding am other channel through which to receive their supplies, and are determined to throw oil the yoke without regard ,o whether the Sen tinel or the ring il advocates likes 1t or not.

A WONDERFUL SPECIMEN.

Mr. Hart of the Sazerackers relates the
following: His attire would have excited
the cupidity of a soap-fat man, and just as he
stood he would have afforded frst-class raw
material for working up in soap factory.
He was the greasiest looking man ever seen
in Austin since the man fell into barrel of
lard oil up at the Manhattan mill. Likewise,
he was oily-tongued but there was tired,
far-away look in his eye and an unsteady mo-
ton to his legs that denoted him an out and
out old bum. He walked into the saloon and
employed himself in examining the mineral
cabinet. After close scrutiny of the con-
tents of the cabinet he turned to the bar
keeper and remarked you've got some
powerful rich rock in thar eyes," CURLY
replied the barkeeper, in tone which plainly
indicated that in that little word was wrapped
up and concealed the sentence, "You don't
git no drink out of me, you dog goned old
stiff" eyes," continued the greasy man,
powerful rich rock but up to my cabin
I've got the alfredest richest and most pecu-
liarest piece of rock you ever seed in all your
life. l brung it from Arizony digged it my
self and wouldn't take most nothin' for it. u
The barkeeper is an enthusiastic collector
Of specimens and he pricked up his cars and
was all attention while the man was speaking
of his marvellous piece Of ore. He had lived
in this country long enough to know that a
mans attire is not always sure indication of
his financial condition, and that it frequently
happens that men presenting ragged ap-
pearance have considerable amount of coin
slowed in their clothes, or buried under their
cabins, or deposited in bank and he thought
it would not cost a great deal to be polite to
this stranger, and perhaps he could wheedle
him out of that wonderful specimen. Set
ting bottle out on the bar and smiling his
sweetest smile, he said FCome up, stran-
ger, and take a smile"
The stranger grasped the bottle, upturned
it and took smile about two inches deep.
When he had swallowed the smile and wiped
his mouth on his coat sleeve the barkeeper
asked him what he called his specimen, and
would he not bring it down sometime and
let him see it.
cts very rare stuff" said the stranger,
g the experts down to Arizony call it chloride
of sodium, and give small piece of it to a
Teller what keeps this restaurant below here,
but I'll bring my piece down and give it
to you tomorrow.
Tomorrow has not yet come but since the
barkeeper has learned that chloride of So
dunn is only common salt he has bought a
new pick handle and built signal service
station in which to lay for the man who was
going to give him that specimen.
