On the santa Cruz.

After an inspection through the valley of the Santa Cruz. IL is found tha. on an average, this years crop of wheat and barley may fairly be called much above the average. At the farm of Francesca Leon the crop is very large and can be compared with any of the California crops. The reason of this is that Mr Leon Uses fertilizers plentifully and he says that two pounds of manure which Is generally thrown away, produce twenty-five pounds Of grain.
 Tie rep r;er asked Mir. Leon: "Where do you obtain the manure.'
 "Get it from?" he very innocently re- piled. II merely keep inc manure of my animals, and when I begin ploughing it has grown to a big heap
 "Wby then" said the reporter, do not others do the same?'
 "Because,' said he, "they do not know the value of manure. On my ground I need Co help nature; many here have virgin ground and do not need fertil- izers, but theydon't plough deep enough IT they would all use a 2i inch American plough, they would obtain the same res ults without irrigation"
 The adjacent orchard of Francisco Munguis IS overloaded with fruit and promises a great harvest. In fact, every where there are happy faces, a good harvest and happy futlre for Southern Arizona.

X Pioneer Gone.

The Society of Arizona Pioneers has lost another member in the death of Benoni E. Rogers, who died at the Palace Hotel. in tbs city, on Tuesday, July 1st, of neuralgia of the heart. Captian Rogers was born ID the city of New York, on May 7th, 1894, and was therefore a little over sixty years of sge a: the time of bis death. He came to Arizona in lS66. and for two or three years was employed as wbeelwright at the post of Crittenden. He afterwards went to Texas and remained there few years, returning to Arizona with a band of cattle. He located e ranch at the head of the Arivaipa, which he after wards sold, together with his cattle, and returned to Texas for more stock. He then took up ranch near Wilcox where he has since resided. He was in good circumstances, and besides his herds and ranch, he has S3.OO0 on deposit with Delos Smith, at Willcox. He was a gen eruus and open-hearted man and was generally well liked by every one. The funeral will be held this evening from Smiths undertaking rooms, at o'clock, under the auspices of the Society of Arizona Pioneers.

A Duel.

Tucson has enjoyed the novelty of q duel, although it does not especially pride itself upon the sanguinary details On Sun lay a couple of Mexicans whose cours ge had been considerably aug mented by copious draughts of lighting mescsl, repaired to the arroyo near the gas works to heal a terrible gash in wounded honor, originating in one call ing the other gentleman, probably. In the excitement of the event and the Obfuscating effects of the mescal, the challenged party forgot to provide him self with q deadly weapon, and the other disciple of ''the code" not dream ing of the insufficient preparations, let go random shot which went wide of its mark. Being too drunk to repeat the murlerous effort, the twain em- braced and with locked arms they meandered down the dizzy street for the purpose of obtaining a permit from Judge Meyer to kill each other in a legal and honorable manner. They were iailed until sober, when the payment of the fine imposed seemed to satisfy both parties that the affair had ended ia an honorable and correct manner.

Gro BlancO.

From Judge J. II. Gratacap, of Gro Blanco, 1t Is learned that the twenty stamps of the Esperanza mill are kept constantly a. work and weekly ship ments of bullion are regularly made. As the ore runs well both in gold and silver. the company must be prosper ing.
 The Montana Company has a very fine property about two miles from the Es- peranza, which bids fair to become an important factor in the resources of Pima county. X tunnel 2JO feet in length IS all ID ore with ledge at that poInt fully thirty feet m width. The ore will average from S25 to S30 per ton in silver and gold, although considerable selected ore will assay several hundred dollars per ton. Wood Is abundant, and ii is thought water can be had in plentiful quantities by sinking wells. This char acier and grade of ore IS deemed the best for profitable mining, as there are imihense quantities that can be worked very cheaply.
 \ member of the Southern Arizona company has been inspecting that com pany's mines. and is SO favoratly im- pressed with them that he will recon mend the immediate resumption of work. particularly on the San Jose mine, which is regarded us an unusually rich property.
 Although matters are very quiet in and about Gro BlGnco, and DO symptoms of boom observable, the ultimate out come Of the camp is regarded as assured by those best capable of judging.

X Correction.

A letter received by Don Carlos l. Velasco. of Fl Fronterizo, gives the fol- lowing news. an incorrect account of which was recently among the Associated Press dispatches:
 The son of President Gonzalez, ac- ccmpanied by Pedro Garza, boarded one of the street cars m the City or Mexico. As the car moved, the Presl- dents son stumbled against one Soto mayor, who being molested by the colli- sion, pulled out knife and struck Con zalez in the eye, making q severe wound. At this moment, Pedro Garza jumped between the men, and being threatened by Sotomayor, pulled out his pistol and siot him dead. Another individual who accompanied SOtomayor, also threat ened Garzs with n knife, and was also shot dead by Garza. The authorities have the case in hand.

Arctic Ice Works. etc.

An evening visit to the electric light works and the ice works is attended witt | great interest by one who loves tO wit. ness the rapidly revolving machinery and intricate w,rkings of this apparent. ly mysterious source of illumination under the bright glare of ths electric light. The constant hum of wheels go- ing at countless revolutions per minute, and the regular strokes of engine pistons fauitlessly adjusted create, n sense of activity and energy pleasurable to real ize.
 And then to walk over the huge tanks where occult agencies are busily at work transforming flame to frost, almost; creating crystals of pure, solid ice in an incredibly short space of time; to see the huge cubes like sparkling gems, sent gliding down the chute into the packing rooms below; these silent workings strike a scientific novice with something io noises 10 shocx thhe hei deicate p nerves: ne ungainly machines that seem about to send forth an arm of iron threateniDgly towards one, but everything works smoothly and still, doing the duty as signed each part without q murmur of complaint nor hope of praise.
 The yats containing the freezing sOlu- tion are capable of producing ten tons of solid and beautiful ice each day. The water used is condensed from the steam dodbly bereft of impurities by filtration. Nothing can be purer than this.
 There IS little to note Tn the process that would be at all intelligible to the general reader. The silent process goes on unseen and unheard, and save for the gathering boar. frost upon projecting pipes, and the occasional bringing forth of block of ice. one could not realize that extremes of heat and cold cOHld exist in such intimate juxtapOsition.
 The special machinery for the salt works is now being put m position, when the New Liverpool Salt Company will be prepared to supply Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado with abund- ance of the finest quality of pure table salt that has ever been put on the mar ket. The native salt is brought in large blocks, perfectly crystalized, from Dos Palms, on the Colorado desert, in Cali fornis. It Is ground and sacked here, aud, from its wonderful purity, contain ing 9S per cert of chloride of sodium, 1t must soon find ready market wher- ever introduced.

! Personal ENnlanafion.

h the Star of Sunday, there appeared personal reference to myself, which, .alau-h signed by Herbert Brown was -....e-.ly prepared by L. C. Hughes.

 f any difference exists between my sa. and the Star. it is naturally with its I-1p-.eiur, and not with an employe who mast be subservient to retain hls position.
 The difficulty. sach as it is. between Nr Brown and myself, arose as follows: On Thursday night last, visited the Park and seeing Gr.

 Ul Saturday, 1 met Mir. Brown. and La asked for the name of the author Of t-e article, I at once told him that l was i4e author. and fully responsible in any manner he might choose.
 ii Mr. Brown felt aggrieved and de s--l personal satisfaction, he should Lave sznt his friend to me. Instead, however, he valves his privilege, and puc5ei7 to newspaper attack, father n, statement obtained from Hughes .-d thus giving some corroboratIon to Ly charge against him.
 The issue of last week, between the Index and Star, Was the question of the Stars attitude as a reformer; and 1 am inclined to the opinion that Hughes s-eks to drop losing fight against the lark, and draw out of his defeat under personal difference, encouraged by 4im. between his clerk and myself.

short Speech for the Spanish Speaker of
 the 4th Of July Celebration.


 This day IS the day of all days, wher every American recollects with prid, that the will of the people released | newborn nation from the yoke ol tyranny.
 Formerly part of a kingdom, We be. came a republic and We have prospered wonderfully well and all reasonable hopes point to fature prosperity.
 But while on this glorious day We en. tertain vivid recollection of our hero Washington, We certainly shall not for get the Hidalgo of Mexico. nor the other heroes who have fought. suffered, and m some instances died for the sake and m the seryIce of their country pro- curing for 1t that so much coveted lib- erty or independence.
 IL the saying of a we'll known autbor IS true that all Republicans are brotb- CTS, then today We must embrace all those who belong to Republican gov ernment as brothers.
 And as such, salute you all.
 The great men who have achieved all thls shall and must receive all honor and they receive 1t.
 be It my province, then. to call to the recollection of all here present that we always forget to remember the humble patriot, the man of the lower classes. the laborer who, at the call of his conn. try, abandoned his blow, his bod. his wife, his children, who in fact left every. thing behind him to follow that stand | ard which in burning letters sad, Lib i erty or death" For those who in unknown | graves await the decision of the great | unknown world, 1 say, remember them on this day, and also on the 18th of | of September.
 My opinion is that on the Fourth of July a speech Tn Spanish should be I short. not high-worded, but for the un- derstanding of all classes. Still. talk ing into consideration that We have a large class If good Mexican population, We should give them due consideration.
 Yours, SPEIS0.

Severo Rodriguez seems to be hu- morous paisano. although he sometimes carries hIs jokes little too far, as his last caper has proven. He recently ob- tained employment at the rincon Ranch, fourteen miles east of Tucson. and on Monday be good naturedly stole Dis tol from Manuel Martinez. his employer, and playfully hid 1t in a cafion some dis taEce away. It was found and the jolly larcenist was promptly arrested and brought before Judge Meyer, who gave him summer vacation of three months
 in the county jail to restore his gravity.
