SOME of the newspapers of Salt river valley and at points within the limits of the so-called Peralta grant have charged
 Surveyor General Royal A. Johnson with collision with the claimant and with extending him official favors beyond the requirements of his position. We know all these charges to be without the slightest foundation of truth. Not only has NIT. Johnson shown to the claimant of the Peralta grant no favors whatever beyond the actual requirements of the law in such m 4tters, bul up to this time he has been a bulwark of protection to the settlers and has lost no opportunity of serving their best interests. He has been basely misrepreSented and reviled by those who have the best reasons for honoring hlm, and even his invalid father. who has bean for more than a year incapacItated from all business pursuits, has been dragged into the matter and accused of doing that which be certainly would not do. dId his health
 perliit nim 10 leave bIs room. The people of PhenIx and Florence have te- come unn5 5ceSsarily excited ID this fraud. and have sad many things in the heat of their opposition that they will not only feel greatly ashamed of when they know the full facts. but things that will initiate against their cause. The CITI- ZEN stands shoulder to shoulder with tEe people iD their fight against this un- just claim, and will always be found ready and willing to champion their cause, but it will not join in their reck- less and unfoundei charges against an official who IS acting in the utmost good faith, and who, If he shows any partialiiy whatever. is favOring tbe interests ot that great body of innocent settlers within the limits of the grant, and whom he exp, cts to hail as his fellow citizens for many years in the bright future. We ask the Ieople SO deeply interested to show a little more discretion ID their fight for their acknowledged rights, and not to sntagonize those who may be ID position, and are disposed to, give them every possible advantage within the limits of the law.

COPPER.

The question of production or prices is now confined to the Lake, the Arizons and the Montana mines. Prces have reached such point that unless some new and unexpected developments are made the other districts are practically of no account. At the present rate of prices it is said that only four or five of the Lake mines more than cover ex- penses. The larger Lake mines have splendid plants, cheap fuel, low wages and while working very cheaply pro- duce an exceptionally fine quality of copper. The large Arizona mines are sail to be working at profit now. and. quality considered, can lay down tLeir product at the ssaboard at very close to fl not full as good figures as the Lake. The Montana mines are mainly well managed aud with good plants Some 0: them working the richer argentiferous ores, gain two or three cents per pound by silver recovered. All these mines nave a high grade, but impure ores. The wag-s are high and there IS cOnsId erable room for reduction in this re- spect Both the Arizona and Montana are well conducted with the railroad system of the country, and have all the advantages accruing from this at pIes- -nt, though there Is room Tor lower freight rates.
 Should the present low rates of cop per prevail throughout the year and uumber of the smaller mines be com pelied to close in consequence, 1t IS prob able the production of 1885 will equal and probably exceed somewhat the pro Iuc,ion of 1881. This will be accom- panied by the increased output from large mines with the view of thereby in- creasing the profits. The Calumet & hecla has expressed its intention of so doing. Some of the other Lake mines vail probably adopt the policy. As to Arizona mines, the question of increased output depends merely upon whether ,he owners consider it wise to exhaust the mines at present low profls.
 The United States has, within the past four years, grown from ;he position of subordinate copper market to that of the controlling market of the world, and the prices of this metal in the markets of the world are now regulated by the pro- duction Of this country.-I Mining and Scientific Press

THE large game Cf Southern Arizona Is rapidly disappearing before the ruth less slaughterIn- hand of men who make it business to supply the local markets. Even at this late season Indians and Mexlcans almost daily bring in noun tain sheep, deer or antelope for sale. The absorption of nearly all the avail able springs by stockmen has driven tbis class of game far up into the mountains, and the concentrated punches of them Are few indeed. at the rate they are now being slaughtered they will become extinct before many ears.

THE causes leading to Gn open disrup- ton between England and Russia are growing more dense and pronounced. But little hope nov exists Of an amic- able solution of the grave difficulty and the news of an open declaration of war may be expected any moment. If any peacstuI settlem nt Is effected 1t will come through ths fnaucIal circlCs of the old world. London holds many millions of Russian securities that a war will jeopardize; aud German financiers hold both English and Russian bonds to great amount These golden cords arc ditficnlt to sever, and honor will submit to an extreme tension before they will break. Were it not for this condition of affairs the clash of arms would even now be heard and the tumult and horrors of civil war would mar the peaceful days of the old world.
