TERRITORIAL ITEMS.
IPheniX Herald, ]


 The Orion Era reaches us this week on the half-shell. "Corky" times, these, for the followers of Joe Smith.
 New Mexico claims 100000 head of cattle. Arizona has not yet that many, but her grazing grounds arc capable of sustaining ten times the number now pastured or them.
 Prescott is excited, General Sheridan visited Whipple Barracks on the Sth inst.
 It looks as if the "slate" made up by certain would-be Democratic leaders in Arizona, was already badly busted.
 Iohave County Minerl
 From the present outlook the mining camps of Mohave county bid fair to be the livliest in the Territory during the summer. The ore is here and all that we need is more men to take it out. There are great many miners in the Wallapai district at the present time who are making from $5 to Si0 per day chloriding; some who are making from $l0 to $25 per day; and still others who are making as high as $50 per day.
 By far the richest ore now being taken out in the neighhorhood of Stockton Hill is that from the Little Chief, owned by John Kennedy. From all accounts he will soon have q car load of ore that will sample from $700 to $l200per ton. This mine has already produced $75, 900.
 Southwestern Stockman.l
 The San Pedro round-upis completed About 10000 more cattle were on the range this year than last.
 J. l. Scott and A. 4. Bass, have been arrested in Yavapai county for stealing stock. The former is prominent man and late candidate for probate Judge, and the latter is an ex-constable. Their arrest is considered a direct blow at the politicians of the territory.

An Indian thief was recently killed by white settler in the northern part of the territory, and now the Indians threaten retaliation, causing the settlers in that region to temporarily abandon their homes. It's a safe bet that the defunct brave was one of those ''peace- able'' Indians to whom agents will per sist in granting passes to leave their reservations.

The Arizona Live Stock Association favored the appointment of Theodore r. White, their President. as General Inspector for the Territory, giving him the power to appoint local deputies at the recommendation of the County Stock Association. Governor Trit!e made the appointment. Some such plan as this was necessary in order to faithfully promote the cattle interest in the whole Territory One general head to govern and direct is infinitely better than q dozen independent organizations to work at random. Certainly the movements of the various companies in the Territory will work more har- poriously,,
