Fish for the Colorado,

Stocking the Colorado with val
liable fish is a matter in which
Capt. [. POlhamus is taking an
active interest. He wrote to our
Delegate about it, without elic-
iting much information or salts
faction, although Prof. Spencer
F. Baird is United States Fish
Commissioner, lives right. there
in Washington, and knows all
about the Colorado river, having
been out here on scientific eX-
petition twenty years ago. B. B.
Rcdding of the Central Pacific
Railroad Land Department, is Fish
Commissioner for California. He
writes that he will send out some
catfish from the Sacramento river
in June or July. These will prob
ably be young fish and spawn.
They will have to be placed in
some slough, which can be guard
ed against Indian nets, till the
fish get large enough to brave the
current of the river. Redding
says that no eelS can now be OBJ
tanned on the Pacific Coast. Prof.
Baird has written him that he will
soon put salmon and shad into
Green river, at the crossing in
Utah of the Central Pacific Rail
road. Green river is an import
ant tributary of the Colorado.
Major Powell, who has thorough
ly explored both rivers, says that
they present no obstacles to the
return of fish, from the ocean to
the crossing of Green river. Red
ding writes that he will do any
thing he can toward stocking the
Colorado with new fish. It is
somewhat singular that a large
and navigable river, like the Col
orado, should be supplied by Ma
ture with few varieties of fish.
One kind IS peculiar to this river
and its tributaries. It has been
erected into a new genus named
" Gila," and divided into five spe
cies, of which three are found at
Yuma, in the Zuiii branch of the
Little Colorado, and in the ella,
as far up as San Carlos; they have
been named G. Robusta, G, Ele-
gans, and G. Gracilis; the two lat
ter being locally known as ebony

ONEof the shocking features of
the coming campaign is the black
political treachery that has been
practiced upon Colonel King S.
WOolsey. We have never been
one of his adherentS, and do not
now appear as his panegyrist. But
we do know that prominent citi-
ZenS and politicians of this Terri
tory have violated the most solemn
pledges to support Col. Woolsey
rs a candidate for Congress. Had
they have kept faith, he would
to-day have been Il formidable
candidate, instead Of standing
alone with q few old and tried
friends. and without hope of sue
cess. In politics, as in war, no
citadel is proof against treachery
of profeSSed friends.

Good for Arizona.

The mines of the Golden Star mining
company have not given US country edi-
tors much opportunity for spreading our
selves on sensational items based ON ex-
traordinary assays. Yet it is property that
will do much to inspire among capitalists
the same confidence in our mines, that is
felt in Arizona. 1t will pay reasonable
and permanent returns on any investment
necessary to its development. VIM. B..
Hellings has now the full management Of
the property, and is singularly fortunate
in being associated with stockholders who
do not demand flash dividends at any sac.
ritice of the mines, but who only expect
fair and continuous returns on their money.
The machinery and outfit are all paid for
and money enough has been paid up to
set everything in motion, and to begin
making bullion without mourning debt
The mines lie some thirty miles north of
PtGniX and have been known for MANY
yea S. The quantity of gold bearing quartz
is practically inexhaustible. But, as it
only yields averages of from Sl6 to $50
per ton, no poor prospector could do any,
thing with it, nor could the mines be float
ed on such market as that of San Fran
cisco, exacting five per cent. month div
idends on capital stock Of five-per-cent.-
paidup shares. None of the stock is held
in California, all of it having been taken
by Philadelphia capitalists. Hellings goes
to-day to Prescott to see that all the lum.
Der has gone forward, it being his inten.
ton to have the buildings nearly complet.
ed, before the machinery arrives on the
ground. Geo. Curtis made the lumber,
$1,000 feet of it. Shipments OF tools, sup
plies, blacksmith shop, assay office, ETC.,
will arrive to-day or tomorrow. The ma
chinery will begin to come in next week,
and Will be hauled out TO the mine, under
contract with Mr.. D. Neahr In common
with most Arizonans, who know the prop
erty and know Hellings, We have complete
confidence in his making this enterprise
success that will insure the development
of many other similar mines in this Terri
tory

A CoUPLEof months ago the Salt

A CoUPLEof months ago the Salt
River Herald jumped into the
journalistic ring, with a whoop,
tlinging one mitten at the SENTI-
MEL and a ragged glove at the
Citizen. We smiled and said /:
"rhat editor will soon be like the
boy that fooled with the mule; he
won't look so pretty, but he will
know more" We have raped
him for pirating good articles from
the SENTINEL; he unblushingly
asserts that he translated them
from the Dos Republics. It's a
pity he don't translate more from
that able journal. He promises to
enlarge the Herald. A far wiser
course would be to simmer his
paper down to about one column,
and to borrow that from the SEN
TINEL: then people would read it.

SILVER DISTRICT, next north TO Castle
Dome, on the river, is coming to the front
nicely. Neil Johnson and G. E Sill have
been opening old mires recently rediscov-
cred. They have run one tunnel in % feet
on good ore, and have sunk several shallow
shafts as assessment work on other claims.
They are about four miles from the river,
from where they pack water on jackasses,
packing ore back. They have some three
tons of metal now at the river. The ores
are galena like those of Castle Dome, but
while the latter occur in gangues of fiuor-
spar and other forms of lime, those in Sill
yer district are found in quartz; their
silicious character promises q greater
yield in silver. The quartz is saturated
with sesqui-oxide of iron, and is easily
mined. TIL. decomposed iron adhering to
the metal is of great value for desulphur-
izing the galena in the smelling furnace.
The galena occurs in compact sheets of
varying width and is easily dressed for
shipment. Specimens in our Office show
all the peculiarities of this ore.

IN denouncing petitions circu-
lated for personal ends, we a few
weeks ago reflected, almost unin-
tentionally, on Gov. Hoyt, in con-
nection with the Communication of
the sentence of Lewis, convicted
of killing his wife. In view of
all the circumstances that have
since been made public, it becomes
clear that in that matter Governor
H0yt could not we'll have acted
otherwise.

Salt for Wheat, Corn and Cotton
Salt and Lime.

How would you apply salt to land
for wheat corn or cotton? Would
it pay to top-dress wheat with salt
IN the spring? and how much to the
acre: Also, for corn and cotton?
Is it best to apply it in the drill for
corn and cotton OF broadcast? |
have purchased seven tons for ag-
ricultural purposes, and want the
best plan to make it pay. Would
it pay to mix salt and lime, and
in what proportions. G. w. S.,
Spartanburg, S. c., Dee. 81, 1871"
The effects of salt on crops is I'M
certain-that is, it sometims pro-
duces good results, sometimes ex-
erts no appreciate influence on
crops. 1t appears to do most good
on land which has been heavily
dunged in former years. To wheat
it is applied IS a top-dressing in
errly sprlng-one or two bushels
per acre-and under the high ma
nuring and culture which prevails in
England, such application is con-
sidered quite beneficial in giving
strength and brightness to the straw
and IN warding off disease.
For corn and cotton, it best to
incorporate the salt in the compost
or other manure which is to be APP
plied-put in the drill as these
usually are, one bushel per acre is
enough. Applied broadcast and
without anything else with it, the
effect Of salt on corn and cotton. on
ordinary lands, would probably be
slight.
The mixture of lime is good for
decomposing quickly and convert
ing into plant food substances
which rot slowly, as leaves, straw
cornstalks, cobs, Sc. &c. About
one bushel salt to 6 or 8 bushels
lime IS a good proportion. Dis
solve the salt III water, Stake the
lime with the salt water, and mix
with the vegetable matter at once.
This mixture Of lime and salt is too
caustic to apply to land, unless
composted as above.-SoutherH

Saving Fertilizers.
By PROF. ROMANS.

Every farm, and through it, til,
farmer sustains annually a consid
cradle loss in the waste Of fertile.
ing material. Every part of al.
substances that contain fertility,
that are allowed to 90 to waste, es-
pecially if they had their origin il
the soil, either directly or Indirect
ly is to such an extent diminishing
the fertility Of the farm. Royal A.
Thompson of Columbia is a very
careful farmer, and has ALWAYS been
particular to save what many would
allow to go to waste. 1t is no I'M
common thing for farmers to lose
by accident or otherwise animals
upon the farm; the carcass of every
animal contains a large amount Of
nitrogen, Il of the three principal
elements of fertilization, and vet
very many farmers are content if
they can only get the object under
ground, or removed from any eff
fects upon the olfactory organs.
But Mr.. Thompson pursues a more
Judlclous course, saving not only
the nitrogen contained IN the flesh,
blood, &C., but the phosphorus of
the bones. His mode of proceed
ure is this;-having removed some
rocks from his farm, one of which
left a large excavation, he reserved
this excavation for the purpose Of
storing fertilizing materials; SO
when IN animal dies or is accident
ly killed, it is hauled to the cav
ton thrown IN and covered over
with earth and other Accommodations
Of trash as all farms furnish. Usu-
ally at the end Of a year, the softer
parts Of the animal have all decay
ed, and the accumulation Of earth
having absorbed all the fertilizing
substances, this is removed and the
bones are saved by themselves; but
these must be reduced, and since
by the use of sulphuric acid, it
IS necessary that the bones be
ground. Mr.. Thompson to avoid
this necessity, conceived a new
mode which works successfully; he
emptles p pounds of crude potash
to every 100 pounds Of bone using
a necessary amount Of water and
has no difficulty in cutting the
bones to the consistency of soft soap,
and which is dried by means Of
charcoal dust. He considers this
more valuable than any commercial
superphosphate than he can obtain.

Clover.

Leibig says "that in a soil where
there Is no sulphur acid, clover will
not grow Ground plaster is the
cheapest and most reliable mode Of
applying sulphuric acid to the soil.
But many of our farmers use little
or no plaster. This is one reason
why clover fails so often.
Our farmers 10 not prize clover
as it ought to be priced: enough
clover IS MT sown; when sown it is
not properly managed; it is grated
too much.
The value Of clover, as a renova-
tor, IS IN proportion to the growth
OF the stalk and the growth of the
root. Ii the young clover is tram
ped by the stock, or grazed off, the
development of the plant is him
dered. If grazed too closely, clover,
