Our Local M arxets.

1t has been asserted from year to
year that the territory OF Arizona was
only desert and mineral mountains, and
that this vast territory would furnish a
vast aud permanent market for the grain.
-four and hay OF Southern California.
Such statements will bear great deal
of revision. A large part of the south
ern portion of Arizona is very unpro-
ductiye except in minerals, but the terri
tory is very mountainous, aud out OF
the mountain forests flow vast number
of streams that have made rich and fer
tile valleys of large extent. These val
leys produce the finest grain chat can be
shown on the Corn Exchange in New
York or Liverpool.
The Tucson Star states that the grain
produced in Arizona in 1881 amounted
to A., 100000 pounds; in 1882, to 50, :
900, 900 pounds; for 1883, 1t is estimated
to be $4,000. 900 pounds; while. with
the new irrigatipg canals that are now
being completed. it Is supposed that the
year 1854 will produce 100000, COO
pounds. This shows steady and strong
increase in the production OF grain il

The Lee Murder Again.

The disappearance Of the old prospec-
tor, Lee, on the desert. is well remem-
bered, and the dispute by his heirs, of
the title to the Waterman mine, which
Lee discovered and abandoned, is now
before the courts. From time to time it
has been asserted that the bones Of Lee
had been found; and the famous Gun
sight mine, which Lee said he discov-
cred, from which he brought to San
Bernardino some very rich samples Of
ore, has been re-discovered as often as
his bones have been found.
Now comes another find in curious
manner. Mr.. Barrett, of this city, had
bonded on the Goth of May last group
of mines consisting of the Toughnut,
Ruby, Hoffman, Bismarck, Tiptor,
Grand Central, Independence, Juanita,
Silver Hill and Golden Age, of Messrs.
A. Lewis Hoffman,, Kincaid, Merchant
& Rogers. in Dry Lake District, and had
gone out to the mines with Mr.. E. B..
Knapp and c. f. Niece of Los
Angeles, and Mr.. Hoffman, when
Deputy Sheriff Corbett and Messrs. Nc
Adam and Reed. of San Bernardino, ap-
peared on thescene and arrested Hoffman
QUA warrant. harging him with the muir
der Of Lee.
Sheriff Corbett states that short
time ago Hoffman was in San Bernardino
and got on drunk, and while under the
influence Of liquor told some companions
that he knew where "Old Man Lees
body was, and described the place where
it was buried. about twenty-five miles
southwest Of Calico, and 200 yards from
Old Woman's Spring, two feet under
ground. with his head mashed
by rock and the remains
wrapped in blanket. He said Lee
was murdered and buried there about
three and a half years ago. So minute
was his statement, that Sheriff Corbett
and his assistants mistrusted that Hoff-
man was the murderer, and so proceeded
this week to the place described, and
there found the body of man with his
head crushed on one side, as if by a
rock, and the remnants of blanket
with the bones. The officer then re-
turned to Dry Lake District, arrested
Hoffman, and yesterday brought him to
San Bernardino for examination. CJro-
ner Rice has gone after the remains,
about which there is likely to be some
dipute.
Hoffman says that he derived his in
formation from man named james, who
keeps store at Calico, and that James
got bis facts from the Indians. The
case will probably disclose some strange
things, and may show that the rema rs
are not those OF Lee at all. There is
much excitement about the MATE r
nong the acquaintance Of Lee and also
OF Hoffman.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1883-07-28
A Bad Investment.

A contemporary wishes to know if any
steps are being taken to induce Henry
Ward Beecher to come to Los Angeles
when he makes his next trip westward!
Probably none. Los Angeles is bigger
than Henry Ward Beecher or any other
man, and does not hire men to come
here. Mahomet must come to the
mountain if the meeting takes place
The people of Los Angeles have too
much pride and too high sense of what
is proper and dignified to buy the favor
of any man. If Mr.. Bescher desires to
come here, he is welcome so to do, as
have been Governor B. F. Butler, Prcsi.
dent Hayes, General Sherman, the Duke
of Argyle. Governor Hendricks, the
Princess Louise and the Marquis Of
Lorne, and thousands OF other well edu-
Gated persons who have come here to
enjoy the sights and peculiar delights of
our climate aud scenery. But to
hire men to come here, who have
a salary of $4,000 a year, and are
able to pay their own fare. just to have
them look upon us, is in the last degree
unmanly and degrading.
If Mr.. Beecher desires to see Los An
geles, he can do so at his own expense.
We tiust that there is no person in Los
Angeles who will play toady and funky
sufficiently to hire this man who has had
a fat salary since ls47, to come and see
our city, We are not hard up for visit
ors. Two daily overland trains. and
four steamships that run regularly to our
port, bring thousands Of visitors to cur
city, and we are not SO abjeet as to pay
money to get man who gets a salary Of
SIC, 900 year for preaching and $40,
more for lecturing, to come here to look
upon us. Los Angeles has enough CAPT.
tai in her attractions without buying the
popularity Of MIR. Beecher to add to
present stock.
