BISHOP N. c. PENNEY.

This gentleman has been with us during the last four weeks, attending to some legal matters which he had pending in the Dis triet Court. and during his sojourn in our midst, we have gathered the following in- complete sketch of his history:
 The Bishop was born in the town of 0n- tario, Wayne Co.,, New York; is about 60 years of age, six feet high, and has been a firm believer in and follower of the Mormon faith for 3S years. He was one of those who helped to settle the iil-fated town of Nauvoo, in i646, and composed one of the TOO families who first entered the Great Salt Lake Valley-the Eden of the Nest The Bishop was present on the banks of fiie silvery waters of the Mississippi when the myriads of quail appeared and furnish ed the hundreds who had been compelled to flee theIr country and homes, in desti- tufe condition, with food. The Bishop re- inained two years in Ss.lt Lake after hIs arrival in Utah; and from there removed to San BernardinO, where he remained seven years, and then returned to Southern Utah, where he continued to reside until little over one year ago, at which time he adopted Arizona as his future place of abode.
 Although most of the believers in the doctrine of MoTmoLism have a plurality of wives, Bishop Penney never has had but one, te whom eleven children have been born. The Bishop is entirely self-made, a man of mere than ordinary ability, and commands the universal respect of his brethren in the creed. He came to Arizona al the head of l5 families. all of whom are settled near the mouth of Silver Creek, one of the tributaries of the Little Colorado Their farming is done in common; their buildings are like those of frontier mil tary camp. being erected in a square. Their provisions are, as everything else, common to all; and one large mess-room or dining hall is used by the entire people of the village. the women doing the cooking. 1tis considered the cheapest mode of living, and we have Bishop Tenney's word for it that perfect harmony exists, in every sense of tho word.

We learn from these gentlemen that many of the rioters who fled from Fl Paso county into II, xieo, to escape punishment. have taken the oath of allegi- ance to the Mexican government. This little game Is intended to save them from being delivered up to the U. s. authorities issued under the Extradition Treaty.

The San Francisco Post, which, by the yay, takes lively interest in everything pertaining to the general welfare and inter est of Arizona, has, in its issue of the 18th instant. an article headed "Crime and its Punishment.r .r melted probably by the wri- for having read an unreliable account-un- doubtedIy that given by the Salt River Her ald-of the late Gillett disturbance, which does great injustice to the good name of our Territory and the people of Giilett. Ban Francisco, with its hoodlum wharf-rats, tb;cvee. cut-throats and murderers, has more crime, committed, daily within its limits, tbau all Arizona during whole year; stiii, the Post exclaims, lawless and unruly Ter ritory, in the following language which IS entirely unreliable so far as the Gillett affair is concerned, the citizens being nei- finer lawless nor excited through liquor to tbe lynching of Setwright, the murderer:
 lsThc special grand jury at Prescott, Ari- zona. found twelve indictments for m1rder in single day last week, and news lately to hand shows that their work has not much more than begun. The details of the dou' ble murder and lynching at Gillett, Ari- zona. published few days ago. point to very lawless and reckless condition of so- cjety in that border land: and the cowaid- ly thunder of mail carrier by comrade ID the postal service in Chavez pass, same ter ritory, indicates, if possible, lower moral tone than even the Giilett affair. In the latter there were at least drink and excite ment as an excuse; in the Chavez pass homicide these were wanting. It was apparently unprovoked. premeditated, and Cor thunder. The execution of tho crlmnal law sa the frontier territories is culpably isx and men do pretty much as they please, running the galntlet of the outraged com munity, and frequently escaping unscathed. s Tn time, it is to be hoped e.aat grea'e, value will be placed upon human lils, anu that 1t will be more jealously guarded by those who administer crimnal justice"

KING s. W'OOLSEY,
ARIZONA MINES TO THE FRONT.

The time has at last come when Ari-
 zona mines are looked upon by mining
 men and capitalists from abroad with favor
 and that consideration which the great
 mineral belt of the Territory is entitled to.
 Arizona is surrounded upon every side by mines of untold value and celebrity, placing her in the very heart of the great mining wealth of the Uuiied States, and it is but reasonable fo expect, inside the next de- cade, to see her producing more of the pre- cicus metals than ali the other States and Territories combined. Caiif rnia has had her day, Nevada is on the wane, Utah is at . sstsudstill, Colorado is in her glory, New and old Mexico are in their zenith of min sral pride, while Arizona, which has just been rescued from wild Indians, as it were, with her thousands upon thousands of mass i've gold and silver lodes, is beginning to shine forth like the day on the approach of the morning sun. Situated as Arizona is, in the great mineral basin of the West, we conside CT the mineral lodes of other Terri tories as but spurs from the mother leads of this Territory. It is no uncommon thing to find leads, scattered here and there. throughout our mineral-lined hills, noun tsius and valleys, whose creppings tower fsr above the car.h's surface, and of almost incredible width, often reaching from 100 tc 300 feet. Many of the silver leads pro- duce massive bodies of elittering ore that yield far up into thousands of dollars per ton, while rock that does not average S200 is hardly ever worked, but piled away to await treatment at some future time when the iron horse shall have paved and made clear the way for easy, quick and cheap working of the lew-grade eres of which we have enough in sight to pay If our Ma t;onal debt and purchase one or two of the leading powers of Europe. The yield of bullion from all over the Territory is giving our mines prominence that at oace places them in the front rank and causes the capi- talists from the Golden Gate City to the towering old palaces of London to oper wide their eyes and unloose the gathering strings to their money bags and invest in genuine mines. Ere long the din of thou sands of stamps, erected all over silver bound Arizona, by foreign capital, will be as common as the vail of the passing wind. and the production of silver, gold and cop per surpass anything ever heretofore known. John Mackeys, Jim Fairs. Flood < o'Briens will become numerous and not looked upon as rare objects of curiosity. We are here and expect to remain long after all of our predictions shall become realities.
