OLIVER BOYER, the murderer or NJ. A. Sweeney, is at last secured. He was ar- rested in Sonora on Septem Der Is, by Joe. Felmer. B.

The party arrived in Tucson Wednesday morning, and the prisoner was immediately placed In jail and well ironed. Messrs.

The public must renem- Der that 1t costs money as well as labor to make these arrests. The Mexican author lties cannot be too highly commended for their faithful cooperation in the matter.

Movements of Tennessee Bond.
Holders i'm New York.

1t will be observed, from the tele-
graphic dispatches and newspaper
extracts published elsewhere in this
mornings Tribune, that some of
the creditors of the State of Tenn
essee have been again holding meet
ings to consider the condition of
our public debt and the prospect Of
its settlement. The accounts are
somewhat confused in their
statements but the original de-
sign of the present move
ment seems to have been to inves-
tigate the causes of the failures to
procure a settlement from our Leg
islature. In this preceding, the so
called Funding Association" head
ed by Hugh Mccullough, appears
to have been interested i'm looking
into the conduct Of their agent ar
Nashville, the notorious MacKin-
non. Without now discussing any
of the reported action of the New
York meeting which we think
must be incorrectly reported i'm part
at least-we propose to say a few
words for the edification Of any
creditor whose eye may fall upon
this article. 1t seems that MacKin-
non is claiming in New York that
the sixty cents proposition that was
submitted by the Governor To the
Legislature, came through him, as
agent of the "Funding AssOcia-
tiOn - that the bill was drafted by
him and that, generally speaking,
he was boss of the.cOmprOmise busi-
ness at Nashville. The truth Is,
MacKinnOn's reputation as first
rate fraud was pretty well establish
ed in Tennessee, or at the capital at
least, before the Legislature met.
His attempts to establish relations
with the Governor were repealed
with dignity and firmness, while
his patrOnizing efforts to install
himself i'm the confidence Of the 9TH
er State officers met with no better
success. He was regarded with
general distrust by the members Of
the Legislature, and, despite the
persistency with which he sought
to thrust his credentials and his
"views" upon everybOdy's atten-
tion, he was hardly treated with
the civility ordinarily due to a
stranger. The. proposition which
he claims to have been submitted
through him, he never saw till be !
saw the Governors message the
bill on the subject, that was present
ed in behalf of the proposition, he
neither drafted nor was he regarded
by the friends of that bill In any
other light than an intermeddler
and an obstruction to its passage,
and, had ii become a law, his "As-
sociation" would have had no more

control of operations under It than
q Co., with which Mr.. Nc
CullOugh Is understood to have
been closely associated. Instead Of
favoring the measure, rs he now
pretends to the creditors Ia New
York, there was not day while IL
was pending that McKinnon was
not quoted by the opponents Of tho
bill as saying that the parties he
represented had better terms 10
offer the State. 1t Is safe to saw
that there was not a time during
the session when any proposition he
might have made, which involved
y the funding of the debt BY the AS
sociation," would have received
the favorable consideration Of any
respectable number Of members.
And, Just here, IL Is we'll enough
for the creditors os our State TO un-
derstand that i'm whatever arrange
ments Tennessee may undertake for
the settlement of her debt, she will
never think of entrusting their
management to McCullough's As
sOciatiOn," Or any other like Job
bing concern. Tennessee Is COM
petent to negotiate for herself. and
through her own officers ana agents,
and she will prefer, Ia any cOmpro-
mise of her debt, TO deal directly
with her creditors. She can give
effect to her own legislation on the
subject and should she, at any time,
require an agent in New York or
elsewhere, she caR make her own
l.,
creditors have no need Of appealing
TO any Syndicate to act as inter
mediary between them and the
State Of Tennessee. The employ
ment of any concern, represented
by MacKinnon or any other man
like him, would be at once suggest
i've of corrupt designs upon the
Legislature, and any proposition Il
might make would be treated by
the people accordingly.
Another thing. While we believe
a compromise of the debt at sixty
cents i'm the dollar, as originally
would have been sanction
ed by a large majority Of the people
Of Tennessee, still the subsequent
of that proposition to
fifty cents on the dollar, by num-
ber Of creditors holding and repre-
senting large number of the bonds,
has had the effect of pretty we'll set
Ting the public mind upon that
figure as the true basis upon which,
under all the circumstances, the
1ebt can be adjusted hOnorably and
And we are further
)f the opinion that fifty cent bond
as IL would be by u better
satisfied people, and therefore secu-
ing a more stable settlement, would

Arizona Copper.

Some idea of the actual imports of Silver City may be gathered from the fact that returning trains have carried nearly 8 million pounds of copper back to the rail- road termin us during the past year, while at the same time many trains have gone back empty. It should be remembered, also, that hundreds of wagons have brought in goods from the Rio Grande valley.
 l. N. Cohen & Go. have shipped 10000 pounds of Clifton copper to the railroad during the present week. Their total shipment since January 1, 1877, amounts to almost one million pounds. This cop per, though shipped from Silver City, is really produced in Yavapai county, Ari. .zona It is handled at this point only be- cause this is the natural outlet to all that section of our neighboring Territory even as far west as Globe City. We notice, however, that our Arizona exchanges pay but little or no attention to this item of their mineral products. = Grant County Herald

A scrap of History.

The following scrap of history points moral. On the 2Sth of December, 1860, James Buchanan being president, bids for $5,000,000 in six per cent treasury notes were opened by Philip F. Thomas, tie Democratic secretary of the treasury at that time. A long period of peace under Democratic rule had reduced the govern ment to the necessity of borrowing money to pay current expenses. When the bids were opened it was found that only $2,- 500,0O0 were bid for, and this at rate of discount from seven to thirty-six per cent. The bids were as follows: $S5OO were bid for at seven per cent; s151, 1,600 at from sev- en to ten per cent; s1, ,OS7, 900 at twelve per per cent; S14S,0O0 at from twelve to twenty per cent; 1000 at from twenty to thirty six per cent. And all these bids, be it re- membered, were on treasury notes bearing six per cent interest. This was the condl- tion of the U. s. treasury and the public credit after something like generation of uninterrupted Democratic rule. Now, after having fought the government in open rebellion for four years, and assailed its honor and interest in numberless ways since the war; the same party is clamoring to be entrusted again with the control of the government and the guardianship of the treasury.-[ Independent.

THE MOTHER OF MINES.
Future of the rth--Interesting
 Lecture.

Professor Norton commenced by saying that California was one of the youngest of the children of Time. In all the long ages when the region from Omaha eastward, like vast archipelago of tropical is lands, was covered with the dense, rank vegetation of the carboniferous age no part of California or of the Rocky moun- tains, had yet appeared above the waters of the sea. A large part of the lecture was devoted to an expl nation of the chemical processes by which the minerals and met als had been evolved from this primitive sea, which was then densely laden with the original elements of which the world was formed. A number of striking and brilliant chemical experiments were intro duced to illustrate these processes, which were rendered exceedingly clear to the dullest perception. The professor referred to the old exploded idea that the precious metals were poured up in liquid veins from the molten mass in the interior of the earth, and showed that the metals were precipitated from the sea, the mother of all things mundane. He pointed out upon chart of the earth the direction of three vast Assures in the earth's crust that centered in an island in the East India Archipelago, one of which passed north ward through Asia, across Behring's Straits to America, and down the Pacific coast to

lation of nature and lay them at rest. Ev- cry atom of copper or lead or silver or gold on which the eye ever rested, if it was not withdrawn from the sea by living plant was precipitated by decaying plant or animal. All metals come to us at the price of life or death Life and death have been mining the seas from the beginning until now. But nature moves in a cycle, what the seas give up in one age they take back in another. The lecturer described the immense erosion of the gold veins of California, monument of which We have in the blue gravel"
 He showed then how sediments become strata and how nature gathers the atoms of metal into veins. To show the process of vein making, he took his audience to Steamboat Springs and tAen to great Solfatara, or boiling spring, in Iceland. He showed how uprushing currents of steam precipitate silica and impregnate it with silver and gold. He showed, by delinea- tions of the Comstock lode, how ore chan nels are formed, and how the Assure, being filled from above downward must be rich est from the surface. He showed that there must be limit in depth, below which nature could not make silver ore or gold. Glancing over the great silver veins of the world, he showed that they conform in general to the theory and grow poorer as they grow deeper. He would have it written in characters of flame on the Pacific slope, so that the miner who runs may read-"Unless nature shows a good hand on the surface, do not trust her at deep levels"
 He sketched the wanderings of silver and gold through the currents of nature and through all these wanderings silver and gold had borne close companionship. Together they float in the sea; together they wander on the current of subterra. mean streams; together they lie, silver in the embrace of gold, ln crystals of pyrite

A New Town.

Mir c. B. Foster, U. S. Deputy Surveyor, who has been engaged in surveying a ditch, and laying out town at the Tlp- Top mill-site returned to Prescott on Sat- urday, and furnished us with the following items:
 The town is named Gillett, after MT. D. B. Gillett, Jr., and is situated on level mesa which contains about forty acres of land located on the west bank of the Agua Fria, in Yavapai county-the creek at this point being the dividing line between Ma rlcopa and Yavapai counties. Five blocks, containing from twenty to sixty lots each, composed of six streets, constitute the Town. The names of the streets are Main, California, North, Pine, Mill and Market The town will be watered by an acequia, taken from the Agua Fria creek, about one and quarter miles north of Gillett The place possesses many natural advan- tages, and in few years we may expect to see shade trees growing in the streets, as in Florence and Phoenix. When Mr. Foster left, on Thursday last, three houses were in process of erection and lumber had been laid on several other lots, prepar. atory to building. Immediately upon con- pletion of the survey, lots were in great demand and sold rapidly.
 The new 10-stamp mill will be ready to crush ore in about fifteen days.-[E Enter DriSe
