AFTER first reading of Rev. R. F
Bishops letter this week we felt much
as the Irishman who was butted off a
bridge by locomotive.
care you killed, Pat?" inquired a
bystander.

spacheless 7" answered Pat.
We have recovered sufficiently to
carry out a promise evoked by that
letter, that Mr.. Bishop, having "sown
of the wind shall reap the whirlwind, "
regardless of the shelter which his
profession affords him.
Evidently the sun went down on
Mr.. Bishops wrath Monday evening.
He had builded worse than he knew
then when the baseless structure
tumbled, burying the architect amid
tho ruins, no recourse was left lis
spiteful soul but to belittle, if he
could, the forces which naturally ac-
complished his overthrow. He comes
at US, therefore, with the air of man
determined to win-to win by fair
means or foul-to win or die. With
some tact at innuendo, strengthened
by a large fund of coarse illustrations,
he uses it upon us to the full extent
of his veaomous ability. He discar,ls
equal and fair combat upon the issue
which divides us and adopts the poll
cy of fabricating invidious references
and discreditable figures. In this
connection it is not remarkable that
his top-lofty fulminations should be
discoursed in crooked rhetoric. For
example, he speaks without the slight
est embarrassment Of one "diSuissinq
cloud This is head and shoulders
above any NEUROLOGICAL hguro extant.
1t IS easy to conceive CT Neptune
swaying his trident over old ocean,
but did anybody ever hear of Ne} tune

Mir. Bishop affects the notion that
we have treatedhim to "Billingsgate. "
He knows he is mistaken or possibly
he intimated this in "Pick wickian"
sense. Sam Weller, to see a much
bigger thing, required "a pair o pat
ent double million magniIyin' gas
microscopes of hextra power" and
Sam, even with his "limited vision,
was gifted with more penetration and
sagacity than Mr., Bishop ever enjoy
ed, or ever will enjoy.
Mr.. Bishop also insinuates that We

Mr.. Bishop "hoped but Why did
he never ask-"for facts and figures p
His bread and meat are captiousness
and wit then why chide US for not

him to letter elsewhere printed for
some data touching the point in dis
pute. 1t will be seen that the same
sun which loves to shine on Mr.. Bsh-
ops benighted head will, century
hence and more, pour his own unde-
caying beams alike upon Mr.. Bishops
grave anil the full tide of Frostburg
prosperity.

TIE controversy between" Eckhart"

TIE controversy between" Eckhart"
and "Vo1 Populi" has degenerated in
to a personal encounter, which, SO far
a. the JOURNAL is concerned, is
brought to a close. We have nothing
to say, Of course, as to who is worsted
BY the collision, but each has been ac-
corded oil tho space desired and an
equal number of issues for rejoinders.
In this position, at least, the affair is
q stand-of-the most impartial stu
alton in which VIC can leave them.
We are friendly to both parties, which
induces US to recommend that any
chasms that may have been made
should be speedily bridged. The
weather will soon be warm enough to
roll on the grass, by which time the
influences Of the bowling blasts Of
winter will be forgotten. Besides,
the politics of the county will calorify
along with the weather and exact the
strict attention Of every patriotic, able
bodied citizen. 1t is generally con-
ceded, too, that this will be very
poor year to nurture, harbor, or pay of
"old scores" In the interests OF
widespread amity, then, it behooves
each to BE- ni,e and sweet to his neigh
Dor, indeed, to overwhelm everybody
with kindness. The man who can do
this most successfully will heap more
wagon-loads of fre-coals on the heads
of tho opposition than anybody else
Now, gentlemen, let peace, mild
peace, spread her meek wings above
your devoted heads" let her gentle
@gis hover over all future communi-
cations, public and private, particu-
larly with regard to each other, and a
short step will be made toward that
far-of period, when, it is promised
lambs and lions shall lie down to-
gether.

The Dos Repu6licas, Merican paper published in Tucson, in it's issue of the 21st, says preparations are being made to celebrate the Fourth of July; it hopes the public will not be bored with dis courses on so hackneyed (staie) a subject as the Independence of the United States. "If you wish to entertain the public do so, but do not bore them with long and tiresome speeches. Besides let the festiv- ities be as inexpensive as possible" If it were the 18th of September now, the case would be different. However, by the Citizen of the same date we see there are some people In Tucson who have more Anaerican ideas and patriotism, and that prominent citizens have requested (and he has accepted Mir. Benjamin Morgan to deliver an oration, and MT. B. H. Here ford will read the Declaration of Inde- penoence. One of the signers of the re- quest is MT. P. R. Fully. We'll, there is one way for Sefior Don Carlos Fully to be suited, he can stay at home and not be bored by American patriotic speeches.

Arizona in Philadelphia.

Ex-Gov. Stafford and associates nave
 opened an office, BIO Stock Exchange
 Place in Philadelphia, for the purpose ol
 dealing in mining property and managing
 the Eastern interests of their great Tomb
 stone property. At present the Governor
 is mainly devoting himself to procuring
 capital to develop mines end practically
 work ores. While he did not discover mines in Tombstone, that district to-day owes more to his effort in the procure. ment of means for practical mining than to any other one man. But few weeks ago he procured, in connection with Mr. W. c. Parsons, ample capital to develop an extension of the Tough Nut and the Cincinnati claims, and the money is now being expended under the direction of Mir. Parsons. They have made no money in the transaction, being perfectly willing to take their chances on the outcome. In o'uo1 "otoS5 hO ID SoOSatinS EdSCtTu peO- rle to look upon and take interest in mining just as people do who are on the ground; then if nothing IS made nobody is deceived or swindled, and the great business of mining not damaged. Here lawyers, doctors, merchants, clerks, me- chanics-everybody, in fact-are putting money or labor, or both, into prospecting for mines or in their development. If they make winning, it is usually 8 large one; if losing, it is comparatively small and borne patiently, with no less faith in the general profitableness of mining. As a rule, Eastern people have been led to believe that all they had to do to insure profits was to buy "mine," without re- gard to development, and send on machin- cry without regard to fitness. Gov. Saf- ford is, therefore, doing splendid work, not only for Arizona but for Eastern in- vestors. It is gratifying to learn that there is strong inclination among wealthy men of Philadelphia to find new fields in which to employ their money and to which they hope to extend their trade; and just now Arizona Is in high favor with them.-Citiaes.

The Forster. Firmin Amalgama-
 tor Company.

In the Scient,ac American of November ?, 1878, the Forster-Firmin system of amalgamating the precious metals was described and illustrated. The first an- nual report of the officers of the company controlling the system indicates prom ising future for it. Machines are now building for use in Arizona and Idaho, and arrangements are being completed for their introduction in Colorado and California. It will be remembered that by this process the mercury is stomized by steam, compressed air, or other equiva- lent medium. and forced through stream of pulverized ore. By this means, in con- nectlon with their system of washing and settling, the inventors claim to obtain all tEe precious metal in the ore, and also to recover nearly if not quite all the mer- cury used; the economy of the process Delng such as to make the system profit able with poor ores.

WHILE travelling recently across a desert south of the dlla' and many miles from that stream we came across the figure of a camel drawn upon the ground rudely, but with remarkable ac- curacy, and on a scale six or eight times largerthan life. Evidently some Indian had seen a camel out there, and had drawn this picture. to put his experience on record. A few camels were turned loose here some two or three years ago and have now got scattered over the country as far as the vicinity of Tucson {; some of them having been tracked near that city.

No Such Decision {.

A correspondent of the ARIZONA SEN TINEL apparently writing from Tomb stone, referring to the case of Clifford vs. Mitchell, says:
 "The recent decision of Chef Justice French to the effect that the recording of mine in this district is not required by law, and that if the districts do not prescribe for the registration of claims, that the recording is unnecessary, is lia- ble, 6c"
 We knew at the time of the trial of the case mentioned, that the Judge submitted it to the jury without any opinion or in- struction as to the law, and therefore on reading the above, believed it an error, and after due inquiry our belief is con. frned.
 We have it upon what we regard as good authority, that no such decision or ruling as the correspondent states, nor any thing like it, was ever made or inti- mated by Chief Justice French, either in the case under consideration or in any other It is true that the correspondent does not state that such decision was di- rectly made but the assertion he does make, IS adroitly wordec and intended to convey the impression that such one vas made, and to avoid erroneous and mis- chievous results, we have examined into the facts and believe we correctly give them.
 The above is from the Citizen and evil dently inspired by Judge French him. self, We do not hold ourselves responsi- ble for errors of correspondents, as they are reliable persons though not infallible. We feel sure that the general impression iE Tombstone District of the bearing and effect of the decision in the case, Clifford vs. Mitchell, is as our correspondent re- ports it.

The Heather Rage

we think that it may be safely affirmed that' apart from any consideration of the merits of the case, the people of Arizona did very generally view with complacence the recent overthrow of stock gamblers ana mine specnlators of San Francisco. oy means Of the adoption of the New Constitution of that State. Arizona has no especial reason to prostrate herself from emotions of gratitude before that particular portion of the California peo. Die. She has received precious little ben
 eht rom them and plenty of depreciation and abuse. The few Californiars who have condescended to invest iu our aurlf- erous and argenhferous rocks, have seemed to imagine they were conferring the greatest of favors, and when by their own mismanagement they have failed to reap extravagant profits, they have awarded the blame not to their unfaithful servants or agents, but to the generous soil of Arizona. Their newspapers, as & rule, have deprecated investments in Ari- zona. They could see no further than their pet, Nevada. The Calitorniaus dis covered, right early, the fact that Arizona would never hold the relation!of vassalage and dependence on them that Nevada does. They foresaw that Arizona would eventually trade with the Eastern and Southern States, and that avenues nf ac- cess thence were fast approaching. Spite made them jealous; and jealousy tempted them to misrepresentations. Hence the Stonemans, the Todhunters and the rest.
 It cannot be claimed that the few mines which have been run, in Arizona, with California capital, have proved models of success. Too often they have been robbed and rendered worthless. Perhaps those Californfans who are dissatisfied and crit lcal about Arizona, because she feels her. self too independent of Montgomery street, would do we'll, therefore, to take General Stoneman's or Reverend Todhun- ter's advice, and leave us entirely alone. Their few badly managed and therefore non- n-paying investments could be easily withdrawn, and their mines, reinforced and made active by flow of capital from other quarters, would ensure us more rrofit and more recognition than of late they have been permitted to do. The prosperity of Arizona may date from the period of her non-recognition on Mont gomery street.-Enterprise

AT the late election in Apache county Alpha, a correspondent of the Enterprise states that Clifton boiled over 200 votes It strikes the intelligent reader that the vote was quite thrifty in a place where there about 75 Chinamen and 30 Ameri- cans and MexicaLs. It is all in under. standing the art of magic.-Miner.
 we notice also in the apportionment of funds for schools that Apache county re. ceives for s2S children, S57; how fruitful those 75 Chinamen and 30 Americans and Mexicans must be.

THE Enterprise, of Prescott, believes in partisan organization. 1t consistently advocates it. It regards such orgaaiza- tion of prime public importance, and 1t is properly commended for it's zeal in this behalf. The fault that is found with it for devoting more space and ability to the subject than to the mining and other in- dustrial pursuits of the Territory is not justifable. It conscientiously believes in the overshadowing importance of partisan activity and strife. No reasonable person should expect it to give other matters more attention than it does.-Citizsn.

South Western Mining Co.

We noticed last week that this Company had quietly gone to work, aud sent a lot of machinery to Yuma fer use on their mines near El Dorado Canyon,
 MT. I. w. Knox, of San Fran. cisco, we'll known cn the Pacific Coast, is President of the Techat. ticup Mine and holds majority of the stock.
 The Hercules Co. owns fou, mines: the Hercules, Rover, Pi- att and Nash.
 The South Western Mining Company is composed of Gen. A. B. Nettleton, President, Wharton Barker, Secretary and Treasurer, J. Barker, l. w. Knox and Jos. Wharton, Directors. The latter is the owner of the famous nickel mine iu New Jersey, and all with exception of MT. Knox reside In Philadelphia.
 This Company own the mill and mill-site of the old Nevada Con. M. & M. Co.,, the Savage mine and five salt mines on the Virgen river, and to all intents and pur- poses the mines of the Techatti- cup and Hercules companies the officers of the latter Company are the same as those of the s. w. M. Go.
 We reported last week the ar- rival here of large lot of ma- chinery for this Company, which chartered the steamer Gila for four months and engaged Jack Mellon as Captain, and full crew for the steamer, as well as the mechanics and miners they need at present. The Gila left on Wednesday with about 90 tons of freight, including two carloads of lumber that arrived since our last report.
 Though not in Mohave county, being across the river and in Ne vada, the mill and works are con- mercially in Arizona, as all their suppliesand output will be shipped here. Stewards process for re- duction is to be used and we ex- pect to chronicle large and fre- quent shipments of bullion.

PHGNIx, June 21.-The south. bound stage was robbed last night at 10 o'clock, three miles south of here, by one man, who took the mail and express box.

Yuma Vegetables.

We were the recipient of a basket of tomatoes and peppers,
 this week, grown in the garden of Judge Brinley. The tomatoes were as fine as any we have ever seen, large, plump and feshy, and of exquisite flavor, the average size, by measurement, was twelve inches in circumference (one was nearly fourteen). These toma- toes were each as large as any six that have been sent to Yuma from California this year, and far sur passing them in thinness of skin,

flavor and appearance. This plant is a perennial with us and there is no valid reason why each fam- fly here should not raise enough for their owa consumption, and the same is the case with many other vegetables; were this mat ter attended to, the constant drain of several dollars daily sent away for vegetables would be stopped.

San Antonio gold mines, just across our Mexican boundary, occasions little disap- pointment here, even among those of our people who have had occasion to form fa- vorable opinions the merit of the property. The mines were undevel- oped croppings from which some excel lent quartz had been worked in arrastras, and from whose debris considerable placer gold had been washed in years gone by. It is not known that any attempt had ever been made to demonstrate 8 permanent character for the mines, or to work them below surface. Last December they were solo at handsome price to the agent of Chicago capitalists. Machinery, good machinery too, was at once ordered made at Chicago under contract to be ready and loaded on cars by February 20th. All pos sible dispatch consistent with studioHsly chewed and digested economy was used in getting the machinery to San Antonio. The next news we had was that the s. A. Co. was grading it's mill-site and digging for water" Afterwards we heard that the mill was nearly finished, that water for it would be obtained from lake some nine miles of, and that schooner-load of iron piping and lumber had been shipped to 8 point on the Mexican coast accessible from San Antonio. A mercantile enter prise was made part of the Company's business; buildings for it were erected at Quitovaquita just straddling the Mexican boundary line, and thus "getting the bulge" on custom house officers; stock of fine dress and other goods was put in that would do credit to the stores of Tue son, and huge supply of bacon was laid in-perhaps to show how we'll that Chi cago staple can stand our summer weather. It is reported that, altogether, some s300OOO have been expended in the Company's preliminary operations. On the other hand we hear that some forty tons of ore have been extracted, and that work on the mines has been practically suspended. For the truth of this last rumor we can not vouch; but it has come from various sources without material difference of statement. and has thus far not been authoritatively contradicted. If, unhappily, this San Antonio concern should fail to result proftab]y, Arizona and Sonora will get cursed for their bar renness of metals. It will never occur to Chicago mlllionaires that, while they are smart enough to make money by specu- lating in wheat or pork, they act like chil- dren in allowing themselves to go to such enormous expense as soon as their agent buys some croppings, before they know what IS under those croppings, and in ex- pecting to make bullion without waiting to extract ore.
 It is common error for Eastern capi- talists to look upon Arizonans as upon men destitute of business sagacity. They often prefer to have their mining invest ments examined, made and superlntended by Eastern dry-goods clerks or pork packers.
 If, as we find reason to hope, this San Antonio enterprise turns out proftably, this result may be attributed to luck rath- CT than to good management; and to de- yelopments made hereafter that should have been made before purchase of quartz mills, etc.
