4 terrible tragedy recently occurred in Colorado, in which two commisslon- ers of Grand county were killed and an- other commissioner and the county clerk were morally sounded The murder ing was done by 8 masked mob, and the trouble shat led 10 the shooting was the result Of an old feud dating back five years. when the county was created by act of The legislature and the county seat located ar Hot Sulphur Springs. At an ,election held in 1880 the people by vote changed the county seat to Grand Lake. The Springs" folks contested the re- moval and the case was tried in the dis trict court and appealed to the Supreme Court. Meanwhile snimosity grew up between the two factions which has been growing more bitter from year to year. aud finally eliminated on the 4th inst.
 "Grand county has three commisslon- ers.-Baney Day, B. G. Mills, and E. P. Websr.-a majority of whom, Day and Mills. were ia favor Of declaring the vote Il eral that created Grand Lake the county seat and removing the records back to the Springs. Last Monday the commissI ners had a regular meeting at c anl Lake. During the meeting Day, Weber, and Clerk Dean stopped at Mrs Youug's l. arding house, a quarter of a mile around the end of a small lake The road leading from Mrs. Young's to town Is throngl a th.cket of small pines.

Prospects of the Calico Mines.

Although the fire fend has ruthlessly reduced the business portions of Calico and Daggett to ashes, and although times are dull owing to the hot weather, still the prospects of the mining inrer- ests ID this portion of tine clunty are better than they have ever been. As soon as the hot weather IS over hundreds of prospectOrs will flock ID here, and as many more miners will return to do the assessment work on their claims and re- sume the operations of developing their mines which had been temporarily sus- pended. Important changes will take place Tn the ownership of mining claims which will result m an increased activity m the development fl the same. We have heretofore expressed confidence in the progress of the mining camps in this region of country aud have more reason to do so now than ever. The Silver King shows up rlcher as 1t goes down. The average milling returns Of it's ore is now a little over SlOO to the ton. The Garfield, which IS down about I30 feet, has doubled in value within the last week. NIT. Wm. Ray mond, the owner of this fine mine, has made arrangements Co have hls quartz mill shipped from Nevada, and in two or three months is will be erected and in operation al the fish ponds The ore taken out from the big copper mines in Ord district will soon be passing through a smelter which Osborne < Co. wlll put up Tn few months. The mill for the AlvOrd gold mIne is bought and active operations are commencing on this rich mine, and 1t will not be long before one hundred stamps will be reducing its ore. The gold mines at Paradise valley will also be opened up as soon ss the hot weather is over. The Lava beds, which are beginning to attract SO much attention on account of their rich showings, will be the scene of liv. ly times this fall. A town will be lad out and dozen or more good mines will be employing large number of men which will support Rood-sized town. The owners of the mines bought from the Clark Bros. Tor S2O,0OO, will shortly put up a mill, and branch railroad will be built to the mines which will be but the commence ment of exteusIve operations. The above enterprises, in connection with the constant operation of the Pioneer, | Oriental, Waterman and Gro Grande qu-rtz mills will create large amount l

Grow Pine-Apples.

The production of pine-apples has largely increased in Florida during the past few years. The present indications are that this fruit will prove to be more profitable than oranges. It is necessary to wat many years for the trees m an orange grove to become large enough 10 hear. The small trees cost considerable, and the expense of raising them is large. It is difficult for farmer to support himself and family in Florida till the orange trees he has planted are of sui ficient size and age to produce a crop of truIt. In consequence of this, many orange groves pass out of tbe hands of the persons who planted them before they derive any benefit from them. The pineapple plants are raised from slips, and with proper care they come into bearing within eighteen months from the time they are set out. The prOpaRa- ton by means of slips Is very easy, and IS attended with only n nominal expense. The plants require but little cultivation. In Jamaica they grow amoug the grass and produce abundantly. Experiments in planting them on ground that has never been plowed, but simply dug up in the spots where the plants are to stand, have been attended by good re- suits in Florida. It Is thought they will generally be raised between rows of orange trees. Three or four rows Of pineapple plants can be raised between two rows of orange trees, and do no damage to the latter till they attain con- siderable size. The roots enter the soil but a short distance and take but little nutriment from it. It IS believed that the plants derive most of the material for their growth from the air.
 The above item which we clip from aD eastern paper. should be carefully read and studied by Arizona horticulturists and those who contemplate gong into farming and fruit raising on the lower Gila and Salt river valleys. There is not particle of doubt about the lower Gila being a good orange country. It would appear from the above extract tbat pine apples do well in Fl rida, and that they can be raised from slips, and bear the second year after planting. We trust some Of our enterprislDg ranchmen on the Gila, will give the pine apple a trial.

HE consideration of the foreign pau per immigration, has brought up the question of general foreign immigration, which IS being discussed by number of leading journals of the east. The question is now being asked 'is 1t not about tune, to shut down on foreign immigration?" There is without 1oubt foundation for the opinion of the St. Louis Globe Democrat, that there is a growing Ame icsn sentiment favorable 10 the restriction of Europeans as we'll as Asistic immigration. For more than one hundred years this country has offer ed extraordinary inducements to foreign immigrants to come over, and has given them the same rights and privileges as thOugh they had been born ID thIs coun- try. In many instances these rights have peen abused. l. is well known fact that nearly all the riots that lave ever taken place in this country, rave been inaugurated by citiz-us f foreign birth. We invite foreign ITS to this country to work, to ieip us build up our country, settle up Iur waste lands and to become self-sup- .orting and useful citizens. But large proportion of foreign immigrants who one here have no idea of and will not Iot settle upon the public doman, but irop down in the cities, work some, and raise the old nick a good deal" Tn y are not fairly warmed in their seat before they want to be mayor of the town, chief of D. lice, or hold some other important lucrative office that will fur aish & good salary, with chances for Ilenty of pickings. In some cities of he east they have become so powerful that they have gained full control of m1nicIpal governments, and even our greatest city was well nigh ruined, fnan- c ally, by this class of foreigners before he city government could be wrested rom their thieving clutches. The time Eas when We needed foreign immigra- tion, but that time has passed. Our national domain IS now well nigh settled ID; there is comparatively but little left, when We consider the large lrea of country that has been occupied turing the past thirty years. In less
 han twent. years there will be no pub ic lands left worth having. Then why ,hould We continue longer to ask for
 igners to come over and occupy our country wh. n we have scarcely any pub hc lands left for our own people!
 Many of those who are now coming over are the lowest dregs of Europe, and a very large proportion of them will lever become self-sustaining, but will gradually find their way into the poor louse, workshop or jail. It is time to all a halt. Congress should pass law ,rohlbitlng all psuper immigration, and Jlacing such restrictions upon all other immigrants, as will effectuRlly prevent he importation of the poor of Europe. We now have enough poor of our own, with what they have already sent, us to keep us busy looking after them and providing for their support. We want working immigrants # any. and not pau pers and drones.

A CORRESPONDENT Gf the Epitaph, writing from Oposura, Mexico, in refer ring to that portion of General Gro bk'r report where he stated that "The Chiri- cahuas insisted that they have always lived iu the Sierra Madr.s, and that when the main body went on the reser- vation some remained behind in tue mountains. Of those now with US there are a number who state they have never been on the reservation" makes the fol- lowing statement:
 These Indians certainly have imposed upon the crednlity of the General, for from the time Ju and Geronimo sur rendered to the military authorities ip your territory not an Iudlan was to b. seen, known or heard of in this country until they again rebelled at San Carlor and returned to the Sierra Madres This fact can be substantiated and proven by the entire population of s. nora, as well as by hundreds of Ameri- can prospectors who entered and roame,. all over the Sierra Msdres during thos, few years of peace-the first known iI this country for over fifty years.
