Mouth ofSan Pedro.

Thinking you would probably
like to hear from this section, /
take the liberty of sending you a
few lines:
The San Pedro river rises near
the Sonora line, and runs almost
due north to its confluence with
the Gila, about 40 miles east of
Florence. This long, but narrow
valley is, I think. the prettIest az
well as the most fertile and pro-
ductive in the Territory. Wheat,
barley, corn, beans and potatoes
yield surprisingly. From the
town of Charleston to the mouth
of ths river, distance of 120
miles, small ranches are scattered
along all the way, some well en-.
closed, with GOOD houses .aRd
young orchards around them.
while others have only the usual
brush shauty. 10 note the resi-
dence Of the new settler Bot che
main industry at this tiEue IS
stock raising. All along Une rI,oI
from one end to the other, the
valley is covered with Sacaton
grass, waving higher than a mans
head on horseback, while back to
the mountains on both sides of the
river the hills are covc:ed with
the rich nutritious brush grass.
A weekly mail was put on the
first of last month from Riverside
to Tres Alamos, with Riley Ben
nett. formerly Of Phoenix as mail
carrier. This is of great benefit
to settlers of this valley.
Some very good mines have
been discovered lately about four
or FIVE miles north of the river,
and are making quite stir. The
owners are taking out some very
fine ore that will assay rich.

superior to justice, is that of Francis
Decleer, who was convicted Of assault
to murder his wife. The assault was a
most brutal one and the case against him
was clear, but through the ingenuity OF
his counsel he is in a fair way to 60 free.
Pending his indictment his wife secured
a divorce and resumed her maiden name
of Victoria Bacon. The Grand Jury in
dicted him for assaulting Victoria Bacon
but his counsel asks for a new trial on the
ground that he did not shoot Victoria Ba-
con, but Victoria Decleer, that being her
name at the time OF the assault If the
new trial is granted and he is tried for
assault to murder Victoria Decleer, his
counsel will ask for dismissal Of the
case on the ground that there is no such
person as Victoria Decleer and therefore
he could not have shot hrr.-BulIstin.

The Lesson OF the Spanish
Floods.

The lesson of the Spanish foods is this
any infringement of her laws, All over
the Iberian peninsula the forests have
been denuded, until, in most Of the noun
tain regions, naught remains but the
cork tree, almost as sterile as the soil.
The consequence is. that n Tire rainy
seasons the waters pour Ictedly
| down upon the vaIoys, & over
flowing the SHALLOW streaa iprsad-
ing ruin and destruction
Tn the time Of the Car ls aud

barians, who swept away the forests to
make room for perennial devastation. 1t
was not all at once, nor even in genera
tions, but finally the great evil was &C
complished, ana Of verify 1.-The sins OF
the parents are visited upon their chill
dren." Where forests formerly nourished
there is now only the brown and Iarchsd
Sierras, and where noble rivers furnished
ample transportation there are now only
shallow streams. While humanity CON-
of life and property by the recent floods,
and while charity suggests that we
should generously assist the sufferers, we
owe greater duty to ourselves in profit
ing by the lesson furnished. Our climate
is similar to that of Spain. and our bare
mountain ridges closely resemble those of
the Sierra Morena in Andalusia. To the
same pitch must we come at last, if we
permit the wanton destruction Of our
forests, such as we have suffered since
the foundation Of the State. Year by year
this destruction has continued; thousands
upon thousands of acres of forest land
have been ruthlessly destroyed, but how
few the acres planted iasJsad. scores Of :

frequently file forest to get at the game,
or through carelcssness. And SO, in a |
multitude of other ways, we are laying up
a judgment that must be paid by our
posterity.
If we have yet any statesmen-men who |
can see into the future through the les
sons of the past, we trust at the next as
sembling of the Legislature they will take |
adequate steps to remedy this great and |
growing evil, and see to it that we trans
nit this Incompatible State to our sue
cessors not less rich than we found it.
Wherever a forest tree is cut down /
here should be one planted, and on lands
now belonging to the State, and destitute
'f trees, plantations should be started un-
Ter the proper auspices. If polite, bo-
AUS should be paid for trees planted ON
private lands, after they shall have attain
ID ten years growth. And in order that
hese things may be properly attended to,

EDITOR SENTINEL
In looking over your issue OF
the 10TH, / came across an arti.
Gle copied from New York min.
ing journal, which, it seems, is
trying to throw cloud over our
District, and more particularly
tho Silver Nugget mine, and
having visited the Nugget last
Saturday, and as the Supt Mr..

mine, also turning over the assay
Office to my use, I feel confident
in thinking, that perhaps, can
show to the public that the Mug
get mine is property which will
soon cause these wet-blanket peo-
pie to take another tack; this was
my first visit to this mine, and
from the impression had formed
1 found great many things
which surprised me; the first
was the large amount Of ore
ready mined to be hauled to the
mill, next was its freeness; and
now l come to the most vital part,
which is the ledge, or vein, pro-
ducing the future supply of ore,
and 1 am of the opinion that !

that cannot be surpassed for size
or richness on the coast, for at the |

they were working, 1 found at

that, which returned an average
of $4,000 per ton of 2,00Otbs.

Tile Honma Courier makes
another futile attempt to explain
the assertion that it made Some
tim" ago, that the present Site
Government had increased taxa
ten.
We clip the following from its
last article
When We said that merchants
paid 500 Tor the privilege Of sell
ing liquolS in less quantity than
ordinary wine bottle. we meant
exactly what the Sentinel attempts
70 contradict.
With all due Difference 10 the
touricr. the SENTINEL never at
tpnIuttd TO cCut:atlct any such
statement.
When the Coarier was down
on its knees praying Tor a res
direction of IA Kellogg or Wars
moth government, it made the
assertion that th,. Nichols GOV
eminent had increased the licenses
and taxes OF the people. This
the SENTINEL emphatically de
MED and still denies. Unable TO
show that eleven mills now paid
for State taxes, WIS mort than
twenty-one aut! al hall mills under
Warmoths, the Courier dropped
the taxes aud attempted to SHOW
an increase OF licenses, IN when
the failure it makes is as giarlng
as WIS the one in relation to the
rate OF taxation, and now calls
upon the SENTINEL to show when
the licenses have been lowered.
This attempt to throw the burden
OF proof from its own Shoulders
en- to that Of the SENTINEL is not
argument al all.
The Courier asserted that IL
crn>es had been increased. We
denied this statement and asked
for specifications. The C0nrie,
replies by asking rs where they
havc been reduced. So far as
$50 license law is concerned, that
is a dream Of the Imagination
There is no Sucli u license in TIE
laws of this State as d sixty dol.
lar one. For the benefit ofthp
Courier we will state, that here
tofore merchants selling llqaots
i'll less quantities than Il gallon,
paid an 2S5 cofee-housa license
Now those who sell in quantities
OF a wine bottle or more, pay So
