Last Friday afternoon, while the Mexican population of the Pueblo Viejo valley were cele- brating the feast of San Isidro at the head of the San Jose ditch, Epitacio Perria was shot in the back by Juan Trejillio and in- stantly killed. They were in a wagon together with several oth- CTS, who were firing pistols in honor of the occasion, and 1t is claimed that the fatal shot was entirely accidental, while some think otherwise. Justice Fournes, who was present, caused the arrest of Trejillio, and charged him, before Justice Frazee, with mur- der. The examination of the case commenced Saturday, and was concluded Sunday, District At torney Bolan appearing for the Territory and Judge Goodwin for the defendant. At the suggestion of the District Attorney, the de- fendant was held for manslaugh- ter, and his bail set at $500.

 A great deal of tagging ha: been brought to the LongtelloW recently from the vicinity of the Coronado mine.
 The Alaska continues to looI we'll. On the second level last Saturday they struck fine body of 30 per cent ore.
 The copper ore in the Morning Star is a high grade black oxide Parker & Whalen are getting out the same to sell to the Arizona Copper Company.
 Numerous ore platforms are being constructed on the line of the Coronado railway, on which ore will be deposited by pack trains from the King and other mines.
 The claim "7.30," recently opened near the Queen, that na- tive copper was struck in last week, continues to produce the same. It belongs to the Arizona Copper Company, and was opened in the bed of Chase creek.
 Brown S Cole, the lessees who are working the Fl Paso, in the face of the 100 foot tunnel, have struck the body of ore which was uncovered on the surface 50 feet above. The ore is black oxide, carrying a strong trace of gold.
 Mathison x Morris have com pleted their contract ot building wagon road to the White Hawk mine from the Metcalf, three quarters of a mile in length, and are now hauling ore to the head of the incline. They have a con tract to deliver 2,500 tons. The White Hawk belongs to the Ari- zona Copper Company. The ore is quarried, not mined, and is of an exceedingly good grade.
 MT. Wm. Bonnell has struck gold-bearing rock of the same quality as that found in the Morning Star on a claim recently located by him in the same vii cinity, and distant from it 5000 feet. What work he has done to date has developed vein of free milling gold ore the width of the shaft. The formation is horn bIendic quartzose, and the prop erty is most promising prospect. The shaft which he is sinking is now down twelve feet.
 Messrs. Guthrie, McDermott and Dinneen deserve to realize handsomely on their property in this district. and it is but a ques- tion of time when they will be enabled to do so. By their indi- vidual efforts they have driven over 400 feet of tunnel on their mines, as follows: Alaska, 450 feet; Tip-Top, 150 feet; Frisco, 450 feet; Delta, 50 feet; Lime stone, 75 feet; King, 80 feet; Fl Paso, 200 feet. They have at present eleven men in their em- Dloy.

Monday evening, upon receipt of intelligence of the Indian out break, no time was lost in the towns in this portion of both Ter ritories in conveying the news to the different ranches and isolated mining camps. From Clifton. Duncan, Carlisle, in fact, in all of the towns, citizens mounted swift-footed steeds and sped away in the darkness, and during the night the inmates of many newly made homes were. aroused by the chatter of horses hoofs and a friendly helloo, and then the story was told in a few words, "the Apaches are on the war-path," and before they could fully realize the terrible truth the brave rider and his gallant steed again rode on, to warn others beyond. Well may each and every pioneer in the Southwest ask the question, How much longer are the red devils to be cared for during the winter season, fattened and pampered, to prey upon defence less settlers as soon az the grass IS fit for feed in the spring?

Of Chiricahuas and Their Chfef Leave the ReservatiOn-Their
 Destination Believed to be the
 Sierra Madres.
 Shortly before 6 o'clock P. m. on Monday last two telegrams were received in Clifton which caused decided sensation. The tenor of both was to the same effect. The first was dated Fort Apache and was signed Wade, Lieutenant Colonel, the second was from Fort Thomas and was signed Mills, Major Command ing. The contents of both were the same-ffty Chiricahua bucks under Geronimo had left the reservation on the l7tb, and had taken the Eagle Creek trail. Each stated their destination to be Mexico, and added that troops were in pursuit.
 At the time of writing (Tuesday evening" nothing further in re- gard to the outbreak has come to hand, but it is unreasonable to suppose that the savages have not committed depredations, and that the whi men they may have encountered have not fallen VIC tins to their savage and murder ing propensities.
 The Chiricahuas number not more than 530 all told, bucks, women and children, and the number of warriors who have left the reservation is stated to be but fifty. But the amount of deviitry this number can commit is almost impossible to conceive.
 The Chiricahuas for the past year have been kept in the imme diate vicinity of Fort Apache, under the watchful eye of Lieut.. Gatewood. There have been 10 complaints made by them, and they were apparently satisfied with the treatment they received.
 Fort Apache is distant by trail from Clifton ninety miles, and it is more than probable that by this time "Wednesday morning) the Indians are nearly as far south as the Southern Pacific Railroad.

There is at present great activity all along the Gila valley farming district, preparatory to the har- vesting of crops. The crops, both wheat and barley, have not looked as promising for many seasons past as they now do. While the high water has caused great dam age to the different irrigating canals, still all are now in good order, and water for irrigating purposes is abundant.

We are no longer scared at the word science
in agriculture. We now hear without sneer
even the term scientific farmer Why not ?
Science is simply accurate knowledge,
and the man who has ar
rived at sccurated knowledge in any
Of the professions, in any OF the processes Of
the farm, in the breeding and care of stock, is
as truly scientific as are those in any walk OF
life.
He who sneers at what has made up the ag
riculture OF to-day, may look back to even a
quarter of century ago and ask himself if be
wishes to be set back there in his implements,
varieties of grains and seeds, and in his live
stock The Inventions new processes, and
the data relating to the breeding and feeding
Of live stock, so far as they have been pro-
ven correct, is science. The dissemination of
correct intelligence among the masses has
been solely through books and the periodical
press journals specially devoted to the inter.
ests in question, and the only men behind the
times to-day are those who do not read what
is new, or only snatches through the occasion
al borrowing of their neighbors newspaper
or volumes.
Science is simply to know. The men who
do not kllOD are large in comparison with
those who do. The one sneers at book farm
ing does not take paper devoted to his in
dusiry or, IL he does, it is Of that class who
advertise to give away ten times the sub.
scription price paid 1t must be low class
of intelligence that is thus caught. Yet these
journals flourish upon the ignorance and Gu
pidity of class shown to be large from the
results OF the schemes. Let us look at these
in the results obtained by their labor They
are among the worst farmers in the oommu.
nifty, and the poorest in pocket Why Tue
presents gotten with their paper were all the
real value obtained. The journalistic matter
is trash, hlshed up from authorities not com
petent, but visionary, and therefore CORE
spending to the trash called presents, reoeiv-
ed with the so-oalled cheap journals. This
class is always crying out against science aud
book farmer" They are, however, fast dy-
ing out.
