The Oldest Printer in New
York.

Samuel Williams, aged 50, the oldest
printer in the State, died on Sunday
last at Rondout. Mr.. Thurlow Weed
said yesterday that he was a journey
man printer in 1915 on the A .any
Argus with Mr.. Williams, who, con-
tinued the venerable journalist, was
good workman, industri pus, temper
ate, and what is too rare among print
ers now, as it was then, he was saving.
Fifty years ago Mr.. Williams remov-
ed to Ulster county, and was long post
master of Roundout. He was an init
mate friend of Mr.. Weed, and although
they rarely met each other they, since
1915, kept upa friendly correspondence.
He was an enthusiast in the business.
When it was proposed in 1873 that
each printer in the State should do a
set amount of composing at the case
as a contribution to monument Tor
Greeley's tomb in Greenwood Cemetery
Mr.. Williams put on an apron and
went to work, completing the full a
mount stipulated N Y. Sun.

TSan Francisco Chronicle.

j. Mem. Shafter, one of the great

signitied his intention to dispose of his
immense tracts in Marion county in
small sections. The benefits resulting
from such course can not be over
estimated, and if other landholders

general welfare of California would
materially improve. He evidently
reads the signs of the times Alright,

will impose the burden of taxation

forced into the market and cause a

TOMBSTONE" is the rather lugubriOus
name given to u new and promising min
ing district, discovered few months ago
BY Z. L. Schietfellor, Richard Gird and \.
L. Schietfellon. Ed. Schietfellon was down
there about year ago, with the Indian
Scouts. He found some rich ledges but
being low in funds, he went to work at
the McCrackin mine Three months ago
he and his brother and Gird went down
there, made locations and formed the Dis
trict 1t lies at the southerly point of the
DragOon mountains, and about eight miles
from the San Pedro river, IN Puma county
Very high assays have been obtained, and
rich groupings are distributed to such all
extent as to indicate numerous and large
lodges. On one ledge the locatorS took
up two parallel locations, each 600 feet
wide, and then located 1900 foot claim at
the end of, and at right angles to the other
two, in order to be sure to secure the whole
ledge. This fact gives some idea of the
size of some of these new mines The
description given of them by gentleman
who has lately seen them, though not in
tcrestcd, leads us 10 believe that the new
mines are soon to excite much interest.

The Chemistry Of Soils.

Professor Hilgarf, of the Agricultural
Department Of the University of Califor-
MIA, is engaged in making chemical anal
ysis of the soils Of the State Alkali soils
are receiving most consideration JUS at
present. The results of his Investigations,
so far as they have gone, are somewhat as
tonishing and exceedingly gratifying,
They promise to do world of good, in an
agricultural sense, TO the State. They de-
mOnstrate that the popular idea concerning
being valueless, they in reality carry a large
proportion of the richest fcrtilizing ingre-
dient5. For instance: The alkali soils in
the vicinity Of Stockton are found, on anal
ysis, to contain large quantities of Dhos-
pilates. Soil from the alkali plains Of
Merced contains a large percentage of
nitre, an article which is shipped in large
quantities from Chile and PERU The al
kali soil in the vicinity of Anaheim is
again rich in potash. With the employ
ment of gypsum as a neutralizer of the
alkalies, Professor Hilgard thinks these
soils can be made the most productive in
the State. The progress Of his investi-
cations Of these soils will be watched with
interest.-Bulletin.

YUMA ARIZONA, SATURDAY, MAY H. 1878.

! IHE agent OF the san CdflOs
Apathes fills a position by fai
more trying and of far greater in
terest than that of a regular, dOu-
ble-breasted, full brigadier-gener-
al; vet he gets one-fifth as much
pay and no perquisites. a briga-
der has little to do but to keep
his chest thrown out enough to do
honor to the tailor who made his
coat, to shuttle off onto some sub
ordinate all responsibility for his
own mistakes, and TO gather in
credit for every good thing done
within his command; detached
Service-men can be made to clean
his boots, do his writing and keep
the flies from disturbing his siesta.
The San Carlos Agent is placed in
command of nearly 5000 men, not
trained soldiers ruled with rod of
iron, but savage, lawlesS Indians,
for whose good conduct he is held
accountable. His pay is that of a
lisping dry-gOods-clerk. He is at
once commander, quartermaster,
commiSSary. of-subsiStence, educa-
tor and jaiior of a brigade larger
than most generals ever have COM
mand of. He is allowed to en-
ploy two clerks. These three men
have the work and care that, in
the army, would be distributed
among nearly POO officers drawing,
each, from twice to five times as
much pay. If single one of
these 5000 malefactorS escapes the
vigilance of the Agent and his
two clerks, slips away from the
reservation and commits a crime,
straightway goes up a clamor from
the press, denouncing Indian
agents and demanding that In
dians be placed in charge Of some
brigadier as aforesaid. We concur.
Nothing will long keep an Agent

n EsrTef History Of Fort Yuma.
(CONJlSCED.b

! (CONJlSUED-J
About this time came infOrma
tion that the Cocopahs were dis
posed TO be troublesome, and fear;
were entertained for the supplies
which had been landed from the
InvincIble. They were instigated
to this course by Gen. Castro, d
Mexican general stationed at San
Tomas, about sixty miles from San
Diego, who told these Indians that
the soil was theirs, and that the
Americans had no right to haul
their supplies over it. AS it was
important to maintain friendly re-
latiOns with these Indians, and, as
they were on Mexican territory,
it was equally important to avoid
a conflict, considerable tact and
firnlness were required. There
fore as large and imposing a force
as possible was sent to remove the
supplies.
Col. CarraScO, who the previous
year commanded the Boundary
Commission escort, was then civ
il and military commander Of the
Mexican State of Sonora. AT this
time he was absent with 2000 men
on al expedition against Indians,
but promised on his return to eS-
tablish three posts on the route
between Altar and Yuma.
Camp Yuma, afterWard called
Camp Independence for a time,
had been established on the plat
eau, to the east of remains of old
mission buildings, where the men
suffered much from heat and dust.
In the latter part of March, 1851,
the camp was moved to the gravel
bluffs at the junction of the Gila
and Colorado rivers, where Fort
Yuma now stands. This was the
site of a mission established in
1900 by Father Kino: Latitude
320 33/-O3; longitude 1140 5000;
3;'335 feet above sea level, the river
at the foot of the bluff being about
125 feet above sea level.
In April Capt. Hardcastle ar
rived with the boundary monu-
ments, but without means for
placing them. Though the whole
of the little force was required at
the post, a detachment was detail
ed to aid him, in order to avoid
serious delays and perhaps defeat
ing the joint action with the Mex
lean engineer officer. 1t also af-
forded an opportunity of making
Il demonstration in the vicinity of
New River, where u tribe of In
dians had recently shown a dis
position to be thievish.
April q the post had but one
barrel of flour, and was entirely
out of beans, rice, sugar and cof-
fee. Some of the animals were
driven off by a party of unknown
Indians, but the Yumas met them
and drove back part of the ami
mails.
In June Heintzelman left Camp
Yuma in charge of Lieut.. T. w.
Sweeney and ten men, and pro-
ceeded with companies ID, III, and
|, to the vicinity of Santa Isabel,
about fifty miles from San Diego.
A rather arduous task was left for
these ten men. One of the pro-
visions of the Guadalupe-Higalgo
treaty was that we were to pre-
vent incursions by Indians upon
Mexican territory. These men
were to guard the stores, protect
emigrants and settlers along the
river, and to prevent hostile in
cursionS of our Indians into Mex
leo.
July q Heintzelman had not
had a dollar of quartermaster
funds for his command for over
a year, and marched his troops to
San Diego. In August there came
to him, at San Diego, a deputa-
tiOn of chiefs from the YumaS.
