Re Careful Miners.

Continual association with a dan ger causes men to grow careless. Put a man in an Indian country, and let him get through few weeks safely, and his vigilance will relax; put him in a mine, and what seems dangerous to him at first Becomes, so far as any precautionary efforts of his are con cernsd, a safe condition of things. The dangers of mining in Arizona are not any greater than elsewhere-not so great as in coal mlnes-but they are great enough to demand the closest attention of the miners themselves and the constant watchfulness of the su- perintendents and foremen. Rotten or worn ropes, imperfect spices, faulty timbcring, broken ground, premature and delayed blasts, careless co-labor- CTS, uncovered winzes that have been abandoned, all carry their dangers plainly written on them, to the eyes of the practical man, and still they are not avoided as sound sense and the law of self-preseryation demand they should be. Miners themselves, know ing their danger, should adopt such precautions as the necessities of the case require. TheAare no damages" sufficient to pay man for the loss of his limbs, and in too many cases there should not be any

A Fair Challenge.

The Courier thinks the BELT knows nothing of the Indian question. Will Mir. Marion paste this in the crown of his hat, and be man enough to ac- knowledge the corn when the develop ments are all complete? We agree if we are wrong to do the same: We claim that Col. Tiffany was not guilty of a single criminality, knowingly, while he was the Agent at San Carlos; that he never armed any Indians, that he never stole cent, and that he never brought the government or his race into disgrace by immoral prac- tices; and we will accept the dictum of a jury of his peers as fnality. We claim that MT. Wilcox has been guilty of practices that should win for him the condemnation of angels; and we will accept the fact of his retention or dismissal, between now and the next session of Congress as proof. We say nothing of the proof we have already furnished as to our knowledge of the Indian question, except this; that we predicted that the late massacre of whites would happen, and the proof is in the dead bodies of Judge Mo. Comas and his wife, Judge Dibble's brother and the others who were killed and we predicted that the mili' tary would not prove of service as protectors of the whites. Have they! Will the editor of the Courier accept this challenge; and if he does, will he summon up enough moral courage and independence to publish the re- suit? We will. ,,, .,

Another one Of the Isabella Group.

Mir. Tidwell. who has relocated the old group ofmines that Bixby sold to the Methodist people, and through which 6 Tennessee University, a few professors and bishop or two got more notoriety than reputation, has made a new strike on one of the group. Not great while ago, we called attention to the fact that they were taking good ore out of the Hap py Jack, now they are taking it out of another one of these mines, which did not look promising when he com menced, but developed in few feet to a body of clean ore twelve inches thick, that will average as repeated tests prove, a fraction over $500 to the ton. The same character of ore shows at distance of 800 feet on the same ledge. We sincerely hope that the property will be all Mir. Tidwell hopes it is and believes it to be; first--be- cause we would like to see him make winning, and second-because we want to prove what we have so often asserted that Eastern people too often stop work on their mines on the threshold of success.

The New York Sun devotes a col umn to dynamite affairs in England and Ireland and a paragraph full of inaccpracies to Apache troubles in Arizona. The Sun says that "the Apaches are better fighters. than the soldiers, |" which..is not much, in the formers favor, as the latter, never fight at all. It says that ''the Indians have better guns and horses than the soldiers" :" and the statement is en. dorsed by ths Prescott Miner. It is not true; ~hle the Indians hayt nc doubt got many good guns, purchased from Tucson, merchants, they have also many poor ones--old needle guns &c.s-and presumption is that the United States troops get the very best As for Apache ponies sore-footed sors,bscked, grass -bellied brutes-they do pcs for q moment. compare witf tie wsll fed stock that can be seen al any of our military posts.

Mir. Fitch made an excellent argu-

Mir. Fitch made an excellent argu. ment in the suit of Mir. James for dam- ages against the Mack Morris S. M. Go. He was for the defendants. The sophistry and trickery of the legal gentlemen in trying to warp the judg- ment of twelve jurors when a corpo- ration is interested as party to suit is deserving of severe censure. A corporation is simply an aggregation of the money of many men to do what one man could not do, and thougi, the rights of each one is locked up in the name of a company, they are individ- ual rights after all. Under the gen. eral government of this nation each state has inalienable rights, each coun- ty in the state, each town in the county, and each individual in the town. Only business principles and honest interpretation of the, evidence and the law should prevail, and sen- timental twaddle should not have any weight. We are satisfied of the hon esty of the jury, their verdict was a fair one, though we honestly admit that we havo great sympathy with the injured man; what we condemn is the culpable propensity of lawyers to at- tack the weak point of a jurors senti- ment, instead of the strong citadel of his reason.

fhe Gslpwado Strings Gazette has some intes6sting reminiseences of the issciyious end bw-lived lCsfer Wilcox, whom Secretary Teller had appointed Indian Agent at the San Carlos Reser- vation, and whom Mir. Donald Robb, of Globe, has recently exposed before the community which he contaminates by his presence. The Gazette says of Wilcox that, when his term as United States Marshal in Colorado expired, Mir. Teller endeavored to have him re- appointed, but Judges Miller, McCree. ry and Hallett, of the United States Courts, refused to allow it on the dis. tinct ground that Wilcox had been guilty of extorting blood money and of packing juries.
 To these "reminiscences of our Colo rado contemporary we may add that when Mir. Teller was recently asked by Governor Hunt why he had appointed such rascal as Wilcox to an Indian Agency, Teller replied, "Well, 1 know the fellow is a scamp, but Joe. Chaffee made it personal matter with me to appoint him, and I conld not we'll refuse"
 Once more, we invite the attention of the Indian Commissioners to this case and once more we submit the question whether, the lives and prop ertiesso of the Westtsh Apple gre to be sacrificed in Indian wars because MT. Teller wants to appoint rascal to office ito oblige Joe Chaffee. Finan- cial and Mining News.
 We commend a reading of the above extract from the columns of one of the best friends that this Terri ory has in the East. It is complete endorsa- ton of our opinion that P. P. Wilcox is an unfit man for Indian Agent.

The Tucson .hackmsn must be bad Tot, when the. papers there lecture them on fair dealing before they have been unfair. We are beginning to think the ancient pueblo's waking from its three century sleep has brought with it an access of immoral. ity. It has a mayor who sells ammu- milton to the Indians with which they kill white men; papers that advocate oppressive measures and outrageous steals, and hackmen whose fare-ness is questionable.

The Star thinks that Mir. Kobb, of the BEET, should devote more of his attention to the mining interests of the camp and less to Wilcox, Crook and Hughes. There's something in that, to be sure; but it is better. to do as the BELT has done, publish few truths for nothing, than lot of lies for coin. The latter has been and is the policy of the Star. No man con. nected with the BELT would do what Hughes of the Star, the Associated Press agent for Arizona did, use an official position to circulate g lie--he did it in his Blue Jay telegram.

An Eccentric Millionaire.

The death OF Baron Wertheim, the
greatest Austrian manufacturer of
iron safes, has deprived Vienna of
very popular figure. Some people
laughed at him, to his very face, and
all who were not so successful as he
had been envied him. OF uncertain
origin, he began his career as an ap-
prentice, and managed to attain
wealth, fame, and even title, without
genius or even much talent. When
young he became acquainted with one
Wiese, who, having long served in
American iron-safe establishments, was
well versed in this branch of industry.
He coniided to Wertheim the secret of
the American safe-lock. and the latter
persuaded some friends to invest a
small capital in mandatory of iron
safes. He died worth about 6,000,00O
forms. Wertheim had a very effect
ual manner OF advertising his safes.
IN almost every town of Europe, Con-
stantinople not excepted, he subjected
them publicly to the action of fire.
They were always found to be intact
when the fire was eXtinguished.
The surprised spectators Of course
helped to spread the fame of the in
vention far and wide. 1t was in this
manner that Wertheim ultimately sue
ceeded in commanding almost eXclu-
sively the Eastern market. He sent
every potenta'e, .grea, and small, u
magnificent safe as present, and by
this means obtained torty-one decora-
tions, some of them of the highest or
der. Among them, it should be said,
there is not a Prussian nor Il British
one. He wore these decorations on
every possible occasion, and the stanch-
est supporters of hOnors of this kind
could not have refrained from a smile
at sight of the wien little man when he
had all his crosses and stars pinned on
to the front of his old-fashioned frock
coat. He was never so happy as when
he could enter a ballroom dressed in
this fashion, and everybody had a nod
of recognition from him. But, with
strained ears, he listened whether the

POISONOUS Plants and FloWers.

There are many plants whose leaves,
flowers and seed contain virulent
poisons, which every one should know,
so as to avoid them and keep children
Z from them.
Buttercups possess a poisonous prop
erty which disappears when the
flowers are dried in hay no COW will
feed upon them while in blossom. So
caustic ere the petals that they will
sometimes inhame the skin of tender
fingers. Every child should be eau
toned against eating them indeed,
it is desirable to caution childreR about
tasting the petals Of any flower, or
putting LEI yes into their mouths,
except those known to be harmless
The oleander contains deadly
poison in its leaves, and is said to be a
dangerous plant for the parlor or
dining-room. The flower and berries
of the wild briony possess a powerful
purgative and the red berries, which
attract children, have poved fatal
The seeds of the laburnum and catalpa
trees should be kept from children;
and there is poisonous property in
their bark. The seeds of the yellow
and of the rough-podded vetches
will produce nausea and severe head
ache.
FOOLS parsley has tuberous roots
which have been mistaken for turnips
and produce fatal effect an hour after
they were eaten.
Meadow hemlock is said to be the
hemlock which Socrates drank; it kills
by its intense action upon the nerves,
producing complete insensibility, and
palsy of the arms and legs, and is a
most dangerous drug except in skill
full hands. In August it is found in
every field, by seashore and near noun
tain tops, in full bloom, and ladies and
children gather its large clusters of
tiny white flowers in quantities, with.
out the least idea of their poisonous
qualities. The water hemlock, or cow
bane, resembles parsnip, and has been
eaten for them with deadly effects.
Tie water-dropwOrt resembles celery
when not in flower and its roots are
also similar to those of the parsnip, but
they contain a virulent poison, pro
ducing cOnvulsions which end in death
in short time. The fine-leaved
water-dropwort and the common drop
wort are also dangerous weeds.
The bulbs of the daffodil were once
mistaken for leeks and boiled in soup
with very disastrous effects, making
the whole household intensely maui
seated, and the children did not recover
from their effects for several days
