The Arizona Star," in it's weekly edition of the 3rd. inst. gives a graphic and very instruc- tive relation of the "Camp Grant
 Massacre," so-called, from the
 pen of w. s. Oury one of the
 participants. We regret that It's
 length prevents our reproducing
 it and recommend our readers 'o
 procure it. It fully .conarnas 'ho
 charges made by MT. Doo"ef
 against Gen. Stoneman oi feiu
 ing to aid or protect the lnhao-
 itants of Tucson and vicinity aho'
 under the circumstances, the
 {" dastardly !" reply he made to a
 ooromittee sent to implofe pro-
 tectiop, that there were enough of tbem to protect themselves, and the still more dastardly at tempt to gain little cheap glory as a lecturer when he stigmatized this very act of protecting them selves as a " dastardly outrage" History is written grauually and this page by Mir Oury bears in every line the imprint of truth; Gen. Stoneman's account bears the reverse, and he insulted the common sense of his hearers when h9 endeavered to prove that one hundred and forty men went out to kill their fellow beings with out justification. The tragedy of Arivaipa Canyon did as much to conquer the bloodthirsty Apache as did General Crook who has justly received his need of praise.

CHARLESTON June g

En. bstone District has changed very much since you were here :; all the prominent mines that have been worked improve as depth is attained The Tough Nut is shipping sufficient ore to keep the mill at Charleston running. The Lucky Cuss is developing well. Western or Contention is the chief mine of the District, the Company is now erecting hoistng works and there is every probabili- ty that they will put up mill. The Empire shaft has been sunk one hundred and fifty vein IS some eighteen feet wide, d small portion of it being very high grade, but the majority is very fair milling ore.
 The laying out and building up of towns seems to be the principal excitementnow, there ar- four of them started within mile of A. w. Stowe's store.
 This town is becoming quite business place; we have over one hundred adobe buildings and more in course of erection, five stores, seven saloons, bakeries, black smiths, brewery, three butcher shops, etc, etc.
 The ffteen-stamp mill being built by the Corbins to work the Lucky Cuss ore is progressing very slowly on account of the site being badly located, they have expended some twenty-five thousand dol lars on grading and expect to work an- other month on it before they can con- mence the erection of the mill The ma chinery IS all on the ground. The Tomb stone Mill, ten stamps, is running regu- larly, they are turning out bullion at the rate of from two to three thousand dol lars daily. EwoTswA.

An important advertisement appears iu "The Arizona Citi. gen." signed by Mir. John Was son. Surveyor General of the U. .. TOT the District of Arizona. 1t is of great interest to all claim. ing title to lands in Arizona pn- oer' or affected by Spanish or Mexican grants, and sbonId ba published in every paper in the Territory the amount of an. proprlations probably does not permit of this, but so many frauds have been perpetrated under cloak of these grants and so many defrauded of their rights, that all publicity possible should be given of this opportunity to es- tablish their claims if just. We posted copy in our sanctum for public inspection.

Beware of the new counterfeit fl we
 dollars legal tender note.

For eleven years the fibre paper has been in use, and no counterfeit note of the denomination of one dollar ard up wards, has appeared, either on tbc Iegai tender or National Bank issues, ln winch an attempt to initiate the fibre paper has been made, until this month The new counterfeit in on the s5 Legal Tender note, series of 1875, letter ;s. ;ss John Allison, Register of the Treasury, A. U. Wyman Treasurer of the United States.
 The paper used in the note is very thin and an imitation of the fibre has been printed on the plain space on the back of the note. Numbering heavy; foliage of yigenette Cn face of note, clumsy; portrait of Jackson, poer and grief stricken. The paper has been prepared to show use. and although the lathe work, under glass, is bad, its general appearance is good, and the note being we'll printed, may De re- garded as dangerous to any but experts.
 The genuine notes of this series have near the lower left corner of their face, the words Geo. Casilear's patent, Nov. 24 1S6S." The counteJeit gives the same sentence, but makes the year 1866. A second test is in the genuine there is in the sentence "Series of 1875" to be found near the upper left hand corner, on the face of the note, one flourish above ard one flourish below the figures 1875" In the counterfeit, there are no fieurishes at the points indicated.

Experiments m keauc-
 ing Refractory Ore.

The experiment of extracting antlmonS
 a,,o lead iron and all base metals from
 refractory ere by passing quartz previ'
 .uslv wasted over copper plates heavily
 charged with electricity by the Western
 Electric Com pany, full account'of which was published in the Post Of Fhursday last, has proven a grand success. Ore which. under ordinary processes, milled b.t s3 per ton has been made to go up as high as S15. The result of Thursdays trial has demonstrated the fact that the base metal in the most refractory ore can be extracted at trifling cost per ton. This discovery will prove a veritable bo- nanza to the company, and will also per- init of a hundred mines being worked with profit where there is now but one. The company is largely indebted to Thos. " Julien, Superintendent of the Consoli- dated Esmeralda mine, for the successful result, that gentleman having made many upon the originally crude used for that purpose. After few more tests, the company will, It is un derstood, erect extensive reduction works at Reno or some ether point on the Gen. tra Pacific Railroad contiguous to the mining districts of Nevada.-S 7.

That U. s. Man Trap.

Under this heading appears ar article in the San Diego Union of the 18th. ut. to which our at tention has just been drawn. Il Is signed c. A. Booth; and con
 tains the following spacious ar gument.
 A reference to the oldest. a, well as to the most recent man, Of the land between Indian Well. and Yuma will show that it i lald down as the Colorado Desert The word desert implies a barren sandy waste, and stands as 2 warning to the traveller, in eros. sing It to take extraordinary pre- cautions, and to expect to find nothing that will support life "
 So also on every map is found the word " ocean" !" and just as
 much as the word "desert 1t stands as warning to the travel CT etc, still we doubt if even Ut. Booth would counsel the abolI- tion of our "Life Saving Ser vice along the coast on which much public money is so well spent.
 It. Booth says we made mis- statementsin in a former article, and that,
 "Tfle direction of the telegraph line has not been changed across the desert since it was originally built in the Fall of 1873.
 Enquiry shows that we were in error in stating that the change was made at Indian Wells for it was made near Pilot Knob.
 Ut. Booth makes & rnisstate- mentin the passage quoted above; true the general direction of east and west has not been changed else the line would not reach Yuma but the route has been changed, and the documents 10 prove it should be of record in u. Booths office. In July 1877. Ut. Reade made a contract with John Costello, 10 make the change. The party consisted of four white men, MT. Hubbard, F'igaroa, MOnroy, Costello with two Indians and they were about month at it. The wire was taken from the old line to the posts of what was then the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph line, now the Western Union.
 However, It. Booths card is puerile; it matters little that travellers ought to take precau- tions, etc.; the facts are that they do not look at maps, they are lost, they follow the line of the Mill tary Telegraph, and intense suf- fering and many deaths have been caused thereby. The man trap exists, It. Booth and his "nigger head cacti" (which ex- ist, if at all, to very limited ex- tent), to the contrary notwith- standing, and as he says there can be no objection to pu ting up any number of sign boards be- tween Indian Wells and Yuma, and which I am ready and willing to have done," we see no reason or motive for delay. In the name of humanity, if you have the au- thority, are ready and willing, go at once and put up not "any number" but one at least at In dian Wells and thus do what in you lies to prevent the suffering and loss of life caused by "that U. S. Man Trap"

SAN FRANCISCO, July Sd, 1879.

g SAN FRANCISCO, July Sd, 1879. EDITOR ARIZONA SENTINEL:-Our at- tentiOn has been called to an article in your paper of June 18th, headed "Silver District" the inaccuracY of which is so glaring that we cannot forbear replying to it.
 You convert 1000 ozs silver into dollars at the rate of S1 29 per oz., which is the par value of silver, but you make no al- lowance for the discount on that metal, which, as all silver miners are aware, is a very important element in reducing the net proceeds of their ore or bullion. The actual value of silver in London today is 52 pence per oz. 925 fine, which is s1 14 per oz. 1000 fine, or Ills per cent discount on the par value (s129 per oz)
 Making this correction your statement would read as follows:
 Ore assaying 1000 oz. per ton O S129, value. ......... ................ S129O Less l1S per cent. discount,
 (52d in London). ........ S152 Less 12 per ct. for Reduction. l55- BOT
 s 9S3 Charges shipping to England. 153
 Net proceeds, ds,..............S $50 We have taken your other figures to be correct, not having the means at hand to verify them.
 Now for the other side: We would pay for 1909 oz ore today delivered in thIs city-par value Sl290 at the rate of 75 per cent.

How the Minus are cleaned

The annual cleaning up which is carried on in all the United States hints at the end of the fiscal year has begun. During the progress of this species of house clean ing, all minting operations cease, and a thorough overhauling is made. No house in the cleanest city of Holland receives the minute cleaning which is vigorously applied to every spot in the hints. The furnaces are toru down, the chi1nneys carefullyswept, and the bricks taken down one by one and dusted. The same pains taking labor is applied to the roofs and walls, and the dust thus collected IS ground. and generally yields rich return of minute particles of gold, This process is necessary in order to complete the yearly accounts.-DepdrtnsentaI Revie,c

Feeding Bran.

Bran is an excellent food for produc-
tion of milk in cows, and for feeding
young animals. 1t contains large pro-
portion Of the phosphates, which are a
most necessary part of the food of an
animal, but one in which most foods
are deficient. In ton of wheat bran
there is fifty-four and half pounds.
Rye bran is also richer in potash than
that of wheat, by nearly forty per cent !;
hence for food, and for the manure, rye
bran is preferable. In feeding bran the
value of the manure should be taken in
to consideration. This, although it may
not be seen SO quickly as the milk in
the pail, or the increased thrift of a
young animal, yet it as certainly exists
and in good time will show itself in the
field. 1t is beyond question that out of a
ton of bran, ,'the larger part of the profit is
made in the manure, and if one is salts
fled with what he gains directly in the
feeding he may be all the more SO with
that which he receives in the manure.

What a Wheat Crop Did.

We clip the following from an ex-
change:
The wheat story of the season comes
tous from Clarksdale, down in Christian
county, ILL.,, where Mr.. Clarke some
years ago mortgaged his land for $40, 900
and failed to pay more than 81 900, of
the interest, which accrued as interest
will. Suit was brought to foreclose the
mortgage, but Mr.. Clarke fought to gain
time, and strange as it may seem, his
attorney was enabled to delay matters so
much that his client had time to sow
quite respectable area of wheat. This
summer he harvested 800 acres of wheat
and sold the crop at 80 cents per bushel,
realizing enough to paw 5000 of the
$4,000 principal, interest and costs due
on the place. To do this required an av-
erage'of "a bushels nearly per acre.

One of the greatest mistakes some
farmers make is trying to farm too much
land. They ought not to attempt to
work single rod more land than they
can work well. Lay that down as a
rule, and then work to it, taking into
the calculations all the probabilities of
wet or dry weather. 1t is far easier and
certainly more profitable to raise and
gather sixty bushels of corn from one
acre of ground, than 1t Is to raise and
gather fifty bushels from two acres.
And good farming is almost sure to pro-
duce the first result, while bad or half
way farming will certainly bring about
the other. Another mistake we are dis
posed to think they make, and that is
in manuring lands if they have but a
small quantity of manure, they usually
spread it thin, with the view of making
it go as far as possible. Suppose you try
a new plan in that matter also. Com
mence on one side of your field and
manure heavy as far as it will go-next
year you can extend it. a little futher,
and so on until you have enriched the
whole field, and in the mean time, you
have made better crops with less work.
The old way of raising five bales
of cotton to twenty-five acres of land,
has exploded, while the new and better
way is to raise five bales--to five acres.
Try it, and see if this not the easier and
more profitable plan.- Water Valley
Courier.

How to Select Beef.

When you can make choice of beef,
which you can always do in market,
and rarely ever at the grocery, choose
that which has loose grain, with bright
red, lean and yellowish fat, which is
pretty sure to be OK beef. Good COW
beef has little firmer flesh, with a
whitish fat, and meat not quite SO fat.
The beef of poorly fed or old cattle may
be recognized by its dark red color, and
hard skinny fat, with more or less horny
gristle running through it. If you press
the lean meat with your fingers, and the
dent rises up quickly, you may know
the meat is from an animal in prime
condition.; but if it rises slowly or not
at all, 1t is safe to leave it for those who
do not know any better than to take
what is offered to them.
