The "Tombstone" is responsible for the following: "To show what @ nincompoop has been sent to Washington to represent the people of this county on the In- dian question, we would inform the public that when he arrived at Benson yesterday he scorned to ask any information of the agent in regard to the movements of the trains, and when the west bound train came along, he took his little grip>saek and boarded the train. When he arrived at Casa Grande one of his fellow passengers, whom he had told of his mission to Washington, in- formed him that he was getting nearer San Francisco than he was Washington. Of course he had to turn back. That champaigne supper, ard the loss of those two towels and an undershirt, has upset the old man."

The Albuquerque Journal" of 8 recent date, had the following item: "Mr. H. c. Thompson, 8 prominent and wealthy miner from Mohave county, Arizona, is in this city on his way to Denver. He had with him some immen- seIy rich specimens of gold ore from one of his mines situated in the Waliapai valley about twenty five miles north of the Atlantic & Pacific road. The specimens are crusted over with free gold and will run fully two hundred ounces to the ton. MT. Thompson is making very large shipments of ore to Denver, but can't under stant why reduction works here wouldn't pay. MT. Thompson was the discoverer of the famous Forest Queen mine in the Gun~ bison country of Colorado, and is still large owner in the prop esty."

The "Record Epitaph" says that when Lieut.. Richards and Judge Vandevere came in from Fort Huachuca, lately, they were interviewed by its reporter, and that it was learned that they knew nothing regarding the in- tended movements of the troops during the coming campaign, further than that the troops will be massed at Fort Huachuca, and that will be headquarters during the campaign. It is the intention Of Gen. Crook to send the infantry into the mountains on the trail of the Indians, while the cavalry will be kept to support them by scouting the country and cutting of @ retreat. No quarters will be asked and no prisoners taken.

Raise Oranges.

It has been demonstrated tc the satis. faction of all, that Yuma County is the home of the orange, the lemon, the lime and the apricot, and that either of these fruits can be raised here in abundance.
 This advantage, over msny other sections of the Territory, is almost exclusively en. joyed by this county, and 1t is only q question of time wben Arizona citrus fruits, raised in Yuma County, will com
 mand the highest prices in the market The oranges, lemons and lines here are of better flavor, and moro juicy than those raised in Los Angeles or San Ber- nardino, California, and the trees are more prolific. Ttis fact is beyond con.
 tradic ton, and for proof we have merely to refer the reader to those who are en-. toying and raising these fruits within, the precincts of this town and elsewhere in this county. There is much profit ID the cultivation of the orange. We know & man at Riverside, California, who has . si1-acre lot in oranges, and it cost him last year to cultivate that patch (nclud- ing interest on the money} e4.416, and he realized from the sale of his crop st2,0O0.
 But, speaking of Riverside, California. which, twelve years ago was a barren waste, possessing even worse land than that found in any of the valleys of Arizo- na, the shipment of green and dried fruits from there this year, was enormous; viz: apricots, 800 tons; raisins, 5000 boxes, of twenty pounds each; oranges, 100000 boxes; to say nothing of the shipments of figs, lemons, peaches, etc. The same can be done in Yuma County during the next decade, and the Mohawk Valley Ca- nal is what will develop this County and make us realize the hidden treasures that lie but short distance beyond our grasp.

Bona Eide Residents.

We have always held to the doctrine that tue incoming Terri torIal officers for Arizona, to be appointed by President Cleveland should be selected from among the bona fide residents thereof. We still hold to that idea, and, from a hint thrown a few, weeks ago, thatsuch would be the ruling of the President for all the Terri. tories, we opine that the new Territorial officers will be selected from Arizona's own citizens. The following from the "PhiIadelphi ia Record" has the right ring to it. Arizona does not want interlopers, and we are in accord with the above paper when it says that eff Arizona has no citizen more fit for it's Governor than c. Meyer Zulick, great mistake was made by Congress in organizing the Territory" But here IS what the Record" says: "Among the ap- plicants for Governor of Arizona Territory is MT. c. Meyer Zulick, who had some connection with the internal revenue service in this city during the term of Pres dent Johnson. MT. Zulick is 8 resident of Newark, N. J., but he has been for some weeks or months in Arizona, and in this way brings himself within the rule that this class of appoint. ments must be confined to citizens of the Territories. But the ap> pointment of an outright stranger would be as much in the spirit of the rule ss one made under 8 false claim of residence, and it would be less offensive to the peo- pie of Arizona. If Arizona has no citizen more fit for it's Cover. ship than c. Meyer Zulick, 8 great mistake was made by Congress in organizing the Territory"

Geronimo Not an Apache.

The Socorro, (N. M. )"Bullion," of 8 recent date contained a
 biographical sketch of Geronimo,
 the Apache Chief. It said that Geronimo is not an Apache at all.
 That he was born in La Joya,
 thirty miles north of Socorro, in
 that county. When he had attained
 his thirteenth year he was one day returning from a visit to
 Manzano, in company with his
 mother and two sisters, when the entire party was captured by a party of Navajoes. From his earliest days young Geronimo evinced a taste for mountain life, and was never happier than when on an excursion in quest of wood or game. at that time hazardous enterprise, owing to the numerous bands of marauding Indians. The youth who in future years was destined to fill his native land
 with walls of agony and groans of sorrow, showed in his earliest age an unnatural degree of cruelty, which, after his captivity grew into unbounded license of crime. Some years after his capture, Geronimo was separated from his sisters and mother. He never saw them again, and was sold to the Apaches, with whom he has since remained. His cunning and ferosity, added to his extraordin> ary skill on the trail and dexterity in the use of arms, soon made him a leader among the people of his adoption and by degrees he has risen in rank until to-day he is their chief and commander. He talks English, Spanish and several Indian dialects and com- pines all the detestible traits of the Indian with the yilest attri- butes of the superior race. Ger onimo has now reached his 18th year. He has visited Socorro times and his second in command, Mana, once lived here 1 in house owned by Hon. Cande- larlo Garcia, on the northwest | corner Of the plaza.

Silver Tending Upwards.

The sharp rise in the price of silver in the London market has very seriously disconcerted the American gold-bug. He sees in it one of those unaccountable in- terventlons of fact to tear away his plausible theories and leave him stranded in the slough of his sophistries. In Less than a months time, and during the period when the warfare in this country against silver was the fiercest, the metal has risen in the London market from 48fd to Sod per ounce-a rise of more than two per cent. It is asserted, on good authority, that the demand for silver in India is unusually great, and the coinage of nearly every European country needs replenishing. Butthere Is another reason for the rise. In appre- hensfon of war Asiatic products have been hurried forward to European markets, and thus so great a trade balance against has been created that it must be met by an export of specie,or of silver, which is the metal usually sent to the East. This export will re- lieve European countries of their silver and create a demand for more. It has, indeed, already done so. It is also we'll understood that England is largely indebted to her Indian dependencies for wh eat, and that the day of settle> ment is rapidly approaching. In this commerce silver cuts an im- portant figure and it's use is in. dispensible.
