A vEEITABLE bonanza has been struck
at Castle Dome, this County, in Capt
Starkweather's Railroad mine. The shaft,
now down about ninety feet, is cutting
through solid galtna over seven feet wide
Of course the cost Of putting such ore on
dump is small, say less than 81 per ton
sacks cost 50 per ton; hauling to the
river 81; freight thence 20 San Francisco
S11; charges, commissions, etc, less than
81. All that Castle Dome galena now
sells for about $50 per ton at San Fran
cisco. This gives Starkweather net pro-
lit of 326 per ton, without further invest
ment than for windlass, rope, a few tools
and miners wages. AS less than eleven
cubic feet of galena weigh ton, it can
readily be seen that the out-1urn of the
mine must make comfortable little in
come.
Castle Dome has always been a mighty
good poor mans district.

IF we have taken items from
the Enterprise without giving
proper credit, we are sorry, and
will try to avoid doing so again.
In looking over our files, how
ever, we fail to find that such has
been the case. The Enterprise,
perhaps, charges us with "steal-
ing" its items, because wild ac-
cusation and angry words have
become the principal spices with
which if seasons the intellectual
repasts prepared for its readers.

On Tuesday evening Andrew Kirby,

On Tuesday evening Andrew Kirby,
confined in Yuma Jail on charge Of
stage-robbery. received a telegram from
Deputy U. S. Marshal Evans, stating that
his innocence had been established, and
that steps were being taken for securing
his release. On Wednesday Kirby went
forth free man. Now, what compensates
this man for his six months weary con-
fnement, and for the long days of such
anguish as is always suffered by an inno-
cent man accused of crime and treated
like q felon? His slender means were
long ago exhausted in paying lawyers to
establish his innocence and secure his re-
lease; he goes out into the world penni-
less, without redress, and without further
satisfaction for his undeserved injuries,
except such vengeance as he might only
obtain by crime. This mans conduct,
while in confinement, has been exem-
plary. He has borne his hardships and
sufferings herolcally, without a murmur,
and sustained by unwaveripg confidence
that his innocence would be fully estab-
lished; as it has been. Society has inflict-
ed wrong on this man which can never
be fully repaired. 1t is now duty to rem
der him all assistance in regaining among
his fellow-men the position from which he
has been so cruelty pulled down.
Jack Swilling was confined with Kirby
on the same charge, but died in Jail be-
fore his innocence was established. Ali
his property was dissipated in vain efforts
to clear himself. To his wife and children
there now remain heritage of poverty,
widOwhood and orphanage, offset only by
the pit;ful, mournful proof OF their dead
ones innocence Of the charge on which he
was imprisoned.
All the evidence against these men was
circumstantial, though it was strong.
This case should forever be o warming
against hasty conclusions of guilt, except
upon the clearest direct evidence.

FOR years 1t was predicted that,
as soon as connected with the
world by railroad, Yuma would
become a grand sanitarium for all
invalids requiring dry, equable
climate of moderate temperature
and at low elevation. Carefully
kept records had established the
existence here, in a marked de-
gree, OF all these requirements.
When the railroad reached us, a
year ago, much inquiry was made
in behalf OF invalids about hotel
and other accommodations here.
For a time it seemed as if Yuma
was about to be flooded with con
sumptives and others in search of
q health-g giving Then
smallpox made its appearance
here, and most exaggerated re-
ports of its Vjrulence were circu-
lated over the country. This
kept strangers away, naturally.
Though it was here in a very
mild form, caused no direct
deaths, and attacked no one pro-
perly vaccinated, yet its presence
here could not be denied. After
the smallpox episode came warm
weather; and again were eXag-
gerated reports circulated about
The "intense heat" and false
hoods about the deaths caused by
it. 1t undoubtedly is too warm
here in Summer to be agreeable
for invalids; it is warmer than at
San Bernardino or Los Angeles.
About the time that hot weather
was passing and invalids We're
once more looking toward Yuma,
ridiculnusly mendacious report
was circulated to the effect that
the Indians were planning an at
tack upon the town and a general
massacre of white people along
the river. This report was tele-
graphed all over the country in
detail, and has pretty effectuaily
killed Yuma as a sanitariun, for
this Winter at least. 1t is in vain
for friends of the country to show
the falsity of that report. 1t was
first given circulation by news
paper that has been devoted, from
It's birth, TO pulling down, rather
than to building up; it was in
print and became current. That
Yuma will eventually become
the great sanitarium predicted
by physicians and scientists,
there is little doubt; but that will
be after public opinion has driven
out or Silenced the individuals
whose greed TOR notoriety leads
th EN- to publish sensational SIAN
ders upon the country.

CAMPBELL will be apt to devote some


CAMPBELL will be apt to devote some
little attention to some of Tvng'S lies as
soon as he hears of them.-Enterprise
Which lie will get attended to
first? The one about the job
office? Campbell authorized the
Enterprise to state that no such
thing as printing material or press
had been shipped to him; we pub
lished the railroad way-bill show
ing Campbell's little mistake; and
the Enterprise now has that job
office.
Did we lie in stating that Camp
bell did not carry Yavapai County
at the last election? He ran for
the Office of County Treasurer
against three competitors, and
came out last man, getting less
than one-fifth the vote of his
County. We have repeated that
Gle" several times, uncontra-
dicted, and the tally-lists of that
election tell the same thing-they
bid fair to show about the same
story at the coming election.
Is it q lie that Campbell got
British passport, and travelled
through Mexico as an English
subject, after he had become a
naturalized American citizen?
Not much. If Campbell attempts
to deny that, we can keep him
chasing one falsehood with an
other until his Imagination gives
out.
Is it a Gle" that Campbell cast
several votes against the cause of
free public schools in Arizona?
Then that Gle" appears of re-
cord in the journals of the Legis-
lature of 1874, of which body
Campbell was a member. And
for that ale" he is now corral
ling all the votes in Pima County
that can be controlled by Church
influences.
Is it "lie" that Campbell, a
uaturaliZed citizen of the United
States (when not travelling in
Mexico) was a red-hot Ito the eX-
tent of his mouth) rebel against
the government to which he mad
come for protection; for the freely
given rights of freeman; for
chance to acquire fortune and So
cial position?
The men who knew him at
Los Angeles, before he brought a
wagon-lOad of Buffun's whiskey
to Arizona, do not think SO. That
& native OF some section of our
country should share the feelings
OF his people is easily understood;
but when foreigner has advocat-
ed the destruction of our Govern
ment we can never regard him
as a safe citizen to represent Ari-
iona in Congress.
We do not remember any other
OF our lies" about Campbell.
The more attention that is de-
voted to the ones ab0ve-named
the less votes will Campbell get,
and the better will it suit us.

GAMBLING IN NEVADA.

They still buck the tiger in the most ap-
proved fashion out in Nevada, and that ex-
pensive beast couldn't have a more con-
venient jungle than Virginia City. He is
not only tolerated, but the best people Of
the city are on familiar terms with him.
Judges, lawyers, mining superintendents
and even clergytnen do not find it at all
necessary to fold secrecy around their
somewhat frequent visits to his lair. Faro
is one of the recognized and legitimate in
dustries of the town. The high licenses
which the owners of games ere compelled
to pay constitute rich source of revenue
to the city and form the strangest possible
argument with the lawgivers for allowing
the tiger to flourish. Mere moral objections
are weak by the side of stacks of twenties.
The city has at present sixteen faro banks,
and the proprietor of one of the most
hourishing faro banks reports that the ex-
penses of running the games, exclusive of
license, foot up $27,40O per year. One of
the two banks with which the Gold Hill is
blessed clears regularly every month $4,000.
Yet the average Comstocker feels rather
insulted when one who is not to the man
ner born hints that one does not get fair
play at faro. A popular delusion prevails
that faro is conducted con the square in
Nevada. The fact that the owners of the
games live, as general thing, in about as
handsome houses as can be seen in the
city, and that they are themselves behind
fast horses, counts for nothing with the
gambling Comstocker, who invariably has
his System" nearly perfected, and is
sure to "bust the game" before long. This
ardently longed for triumph is occasion
ally achieved. Within the past six months
no less than four games have been cleaned
out. They were, however, comparatively
poverty stricken concerns, having but
$4,000 or $4,000 capital. Most of the
banks now running have backing of from
$4,000 to 100000, and one institution has
100000 as foundation.

and now, while they are in the midst of
their great tribulations, it is impossible
to render them more aid than they re-
quire. From all the stricken cities they
cry aloud for food, medicine and nurses,
and those who dwell in safety beyond the
reach of the dreadful disease should re-
spond promptly and cheerfully to every
demand. Charity, in a case of this kind,
can not be withheld for a season. Post
ponement is death, and whatever any one
would do for the relief of that suffering
people should be done at once.

THE wheat crop of Great Britain this
year will yield, according to agricultural
returns, Il, 100000 quarters, which is a
Ismall increase over the crop of last year.
tThis, however, does not meet the de-
lmands of home consumption by about
I3,000,0 600 quarters, which must be drawn
from other sources. None can be pur-
'chased in France, however, as the crop
in that country is below the average, and
the French themselves will be forced to

EEPFlr.ES IN MADAGASCAEH

Beasts of prey are unknown in Madagas-
car, but the rivers abound i'll alligators, and
scorpions are extremely prolific, more es-
pecially at Bembatooka, which Lieutenant
Bateler had an opportunity of ascertainlng,
by accidentally displacing large stone on
the declivity of projecting point, a little
above high-wat.r mark. A black scorpion,
five inches in length, was coiled up under
meath, but in so lethargic state that, al
though when touched with stick it re-
sented the attack by stinging with its tail,
yet it would not change its position until
repeatedly irritated in the same way. He
afterwards removed several other stones,
most of which were found with one or
more of these venomous reptiles be-
meath.
It's not perhaps generally known that
the most destructive enemy to these rep
tiles is the common mouse. They never
meet without a contest, which almost uni
versally terminates in favor of our little
domestic annoyance, who, either by force
of arms or stratagem, contrives to destroy
his enemy. This he does by irritating the
scorpion with his constant and agile at-
tacks, until the reptile becomes SO fatigued
as to be an easy prey, or to become, as
some suppose, his own executioner.
Lieutenant Jones and DR.. Guland landed
on the Island of Rattow with their guns,
and in a very short time returned with
several birds of different kinds and large
serpent of the boa constructor species,
which they suddenly encountered whilst
walking through the jungle. When first
seen it was scarcely five yards distant, and,
either frightened or irritated at being dis
turbed, it assumed q most menacing atti-
tude, its bright eyes glaring with fury, and
coiling itself up, as if preparing to spring
on DR.. Guland, who happened to be in ad-
vance. But that gentleman, before the
monster had time to accomplish his pur-
pose, lodged the contents of his gun in its
head; the wound was fatal, and after LASH
ing with its tail the surrounding bushes
and grass for few minutes, the huge
reptile expired.
1t measured twelve feet in length, and
the thickest part of its body was nine
inches round. About halfway down the
stomach was distended far beyond its usual
size, which appeared evidently to proceed
from something that it had devoured. On
examination. a young springbock, about the
size of cat, was extracted in perfect
state, with the exception of small portion
of the head, upon which the monsters
digestive organs had begun to act. The
last time the doctor had visited this island
he was encountered by crocodile about
eight feet in length; the animal was fright
ened, and retreated one way, while DR.
Guland, whose gun was only charged witt
small shot, most readily availed himself o.
the other.

A FEW weeks ago white girl was
publicly whipped upon the bare back by
"a constable, under the sentence of a
Court in Elizabeth County, State of Vir-
ginia. The girl was convicted of the lar
ceny of pair of shoes and stockings from
one of her neighbors. A good measure of
indignation has been launched at the
Virginia people for tolerating such bar
barous acts, and it would seem that a
healthy public sentiment amongst all
civilized nations would condemn the use
of the lash upon female under any cir
cumstances. But the high-toned senti-
ment of the State defends itself from any
aspersions upon its chivalry or its hu-
manity. In the specified case it is al
legged by way of justification that the
young girl had her choice between thirty
days in Jail or fifteen lashes. Both the
girl and her mother dreaded for the pris-
oner the horrors of the Jail, and the latter
urged her daughter to stand the whip
ping in preference to the imprisonment.
The explanation leaves the whole trans
action in an unsavory condition. The
alternative must be terrible when a pub

low fever had appeared in New Orleans,
but they were thought to be sporadic,
and not in any degree threatening to

have been reported to the City Hospital,
almost seven hundred of which have
proved fatal. The disease sped rapidly
towards the interior, enveloping Grenada
in its yellow folds of death, and almost
depopulating the place. Canton, Vicks-
burg and Memphis next fell in its deadly
embrace, and at this time it is moving
