An unpleasant scene occurred in the Palace Theatre last night, during the performance Mir. Doyle was on the stage, amusing a crowded house with witticisms, and, flowers being scarce, his admirers sent beer instead or bouquets to the stage. re audience grsw wearied ani began to stamp with impatience, which was soon followed by hisses. Mir Doyle, instead of !eAdin the mltter into jake by well turned witli- cism. evidently lost his cue and his temper, and threw a glass of beer into the lace of Leon Pelier, who was sitting near the orchestra, cut, ting frightful gash above the left eye. Mr. Doyle followed the glass, using some hot language, but Mr. Pelier was so stunned by the force of the blow that no fight followed the attack, and the officers hurried the actor away before the audience recovered from their astonishment. Seniorita Marie, with commendable presence of mind, threw oil on the trou 5led waters by dancing some of Ter airiest steps.

Yuma County Wakes Up.

An important discovery of gold placers has been made in this Coun- ty. Don Marcelino, well known miner and an old resident of Yuma, is the discoverer of the Eldorado. The diggings ale back of the Castle Dome Range; 50 miles from Castle Dome Landing, and 80 miles south east of Ehrenberg. The placers are about ten miles from water and are being worked with dry washers. The pay dirt is from four to five feet thick, and the most gold is found in the gulches, although fair prospect have been found on the mesas. The discovery was not generally known here until d few days since, as most of the trading was done at Eheren- berg. The heavy rain fall of late has compelled cessation of work, for the time being, as the ground is too wet to put through the dry wash, ing machines. So far soma three l thousand dollars has been taken out and that in very short time, The gold is sharp and jagged, of deep color and heavy: and from lodges near by, as specimens are boIh large and rough, rot rounded as they nat- urally would be, if coming any great distance. This discovery is of great importance to Yuma County and along with the steam dry washers now being worked at the old La Paz diggings will add greatly to the product of gold from this section.-

ELECTRICITY FROM THE AIR.
 KZONA CANAL FALLS.
An Idea That WEI Undoubtedly
 Re Put Into Execution.

EDITOR HERALD In the HERALD Of the 20th, there is an article, edit orial, descriptive of the Arizona Canal, as it is intended to be when completed. The waterfall, as you describe it, with 25 foot fall and full 40,000, cubic feet of flow per minute, if converted into power, will give over 2 ,000 horse power. Could not Phoenix by granting the tran> chise to the promoters of this enter~ prise induce them to convert some of this vast power into electricity at the fails and transmit the power to Phoenix, where the manufactorie would then be erected. It is not necessary to attempt an explanation of the benefit that the consummation of this move would be to Phoenix.
 There are several franchises that might be granted as an inducement: lighting the city with electricity, running street cars, in the future, supplying the city with water, and giving them the east plaza on which to erect their machinery, buildings, and batteries for storing their elec- tric power as it would be received from the machinery that engendered it at the falls. There will soon be a railroad built from Phoenix to Maricopa, or somewhere else. and until the company find more paying uses for their vast power they might operate this railroad with electricity The late improvements for converts ing power into electricity. storing il.
