 EDITOR CLARIoN:-In your issue of the Sth inst, under the strange title of 'Land Slide on the De trolt Copper Company's Mine," your correspondent seems anxious to throw upon the Detroit Com pany the responsibility of the caving in of the Longfellow mine. As the Detroit Company is in no way responsible for that disaster. you will oblige me by publishing the facts in the case. It is well known that since the cave in the Longfellow mine in 1882, it has been necessary to renew the tim bers in the adit level frequently, on account of the heavy ground above 1t. It is also we'll known that for several weeks before this recent cave, heavy scales of ground had been falling in the old workings of the Longfellow. The first ground known to have fallen, on the 30th of June, was tjse roof of what is known as the old Cochise stope in the Longfel
  low mine, adjoining the side line of the Yankie mine, causing an opening to the surface of hole approximately 40 feet wide by 60 feet long. Thenext fall of ground, extending to the surface, was on the Longfellow, about 100 feet from the side line of the Yankie. The next was about 300 feet from the side line of the Yankie, and the ground around what is known as Longfellow Peak, for an area of about 400 feet square, settled in some places as much as three feet. The. working shaft on the Yankie is about so feet from the Longfellow side line, and large amount of ground had been stoped out from this part of the mine. When the Longfellow mine caved in, it doubtless took part of this ground with it, though be- yond a slight settling of the ground there are no surface indi- cations of it. The shaft on the Yankie was well timbered, and the side farthest from the Long fellow remains intact, while the side toward the Longfellow has settled about one foot I am con fdent there would have been no cave in the Yankie workings but for the close proximity of the old chambers in the Longfellow, and l therefore protest against the effort of your correspondent to make it appear that the disaster in the Yankie mine. Your correspondent seems singu- larly ignorant of the condition of | the Longfellow mine, when he says he is unable to discover the | cause of the disaster. Any one familiar with that mine has known | that for years it has been consid- 1 cred only a question of time when the immense chambers worked out, previous to the pur, chase of the mine by the Arizona Company, would cave in. Now that the disaster has occurred, | he says he is unable to discover the cause. Yours truly,

PIMA, GRAHAM COUNT, July s. 1885.

PIMA, GRAHAM CoUNTI, July s. 1885.
 EDITOR CLARIoN:-The Fourth was duly celebrated in this and adjoining villages in accordance with ime-honored custom. In Pima the day was ushered in with the sound of artillery (anvil) and small arms. At 10 6. m. a large audience ln Cluff's hall lis tened to the reading of the De claration of Independence by Mir. Webb, an oration by J. H. Mar tineau, orator of the day, singing of the "Star Spangled Banner by Deputy Sheriff Crookston, music by the string band, songs, toasts, etc, making, altogether, a very agreeable entertainment. In the afternoon the public were en- tertained with various sports and base ball game in the public square. No accident or disturb ance of any kind marred the pleasures of the day.
 The residents of Matthews set clement and the neighboring ranches spent very pleasant time in picnic on the bank of the Gila, in a beautiful grove be- longing to Mir. Greenhalgh. In the evening many enjoyed them selves in balls at Matthews, Pima and other places.
 People are busy gathering in a a bountiful harvest, and in re- planting the same land with corn and other crops. Much new land Is being brought into cultivation each year, and at no distant period this valley promises an abundant supply of grain, vege- tables and fruit to those engaged in mining and stock raising. In Pima many fruit trees, grape vInes and shade trees are doing well, and Mir. Martineau has some thrifty fig. pepper and orange trees growing. Even should the orange trees fail to yield fruit, they are beautiful as ornamental trees, and the same may be sad of the fig. Buildings are con stantly in process of erection, and everything shows evidences of prosperity to the industrious and energetic settlers of this part of the Territory. If a change in our Indian policy car be procured; il

 On the night of the 9th inst. Geo. Gross and Claude Moore, alias Kid" members of the Clifton Guards, deserted from camp near the Coronado ranch, taking their horses, equipments, etc, and also stealing from other members of the company one Winchester rife, three pistols and considerable am munition. Information of the de- sertlon and robbery was given Sheriff Crawford on the evening of the 7th, and he immediately sent Deputies Randall and Cot treall in pursuit, who succeeded in capturing the deserters on the Sth near Dowdle's ranch, foot of Graham mountains, and recover ing all of the stolen property. No excuse was given by either of the parties for their dishonorable action, except that they became tired of camp life, and concluded they would scout little on their own account. Undoubtedly, but for the prompt action of Sheriff Crawford both of these buns would now be rusticating in Mex ico instead of the county jail. The next court will have an oppor- tunity to decide as to the extent of their guilt.

 Chas. Shibell, ex-Sheriff of Pima county, and Chief of Police Butt her, of Tucson, arrested last week Jesus Acwna, charged with the murder of Katz and Soto. He was found at the ranch of M. Grijalba, few miles from here, where he had obtained work some ten days prior to his arrest Messrs. Shibell and Buttner feel confident they have the right man, although the evidence as yet is purely circumstantial. It is re- ported that Acwna admitted to a party here that he knew who did the killing, but denied having anything to do with 1t himself. If this is true, it would indicate that the authorities are on the right trail.

1t is understood by all respectable
journalists, as well as by ladies and
gentlemen generally, that amateurs
who give entertainments for benevo-
lent purposes are entitled to cour-
teous consideration at the hands of
the press. 1t is a matter of regret
that this simple rule of journalistic
propriety was not observed by the
Daily Press in its attempt to des-
cribe the performance given at
Music Hall on Saturday evening
last, especially as the whole affair
was absolutely and onits own merits
so thoroughly good as to afford no
excuse for adverse criticism. The
article in question was not only
unfriendly in spirit and discourteous
in tone, but was incorrect and mis-
leading in its statement of facts.
To say, for instance, that the entire
third act was only rendered Jearable
by the interest awakened by two of
the charac .ers, is as great viola

THERE was grand parade of the
military at the Kaumakapili church
services yesterday morning. The
Kings Guards, the Kings Own,
Queens Own, Princes Own and
Mamalahoa Guards, headed by the
Royal Hawaiian Band, took part.
Services were conducted by Mr..

an address from the text, But
l say he that soweth sparingly shall
also reap sparingly, and he that
soweth bountifully shall also reap
bountifully." Collections and pledges
were taken for the completion of the
church, amounting to about $1,000.
His Majesty the King, being pres

CATION for their attendance and the
liberality of their contributions,
and said he hoped soon to see the
towers of the building finished, and
that he would be glad to afford his
assistance towards that object.
