THE VEKOL MINE.
Tine Mining Property-wheat Growing
 on the Desert

Ou tnc De>ert.
 A correspondent writes to the Phe- nix Herald the following interesting let ter concerning this fine property: This mine is situated thirty miles south of Casa Grande, in one of the numerous foothills that jot this vast desert; alti- tude about J, ,5O0 feet and under the di- rect influence of the gulf current. The weather has been delightfully."- cool, and occasionally a little more so. There are no streams within many miles, yet with in short distance of this place We saw forty acres of better wheat than We ever SAW in the Salt River valley. This is cultivated by an independent tribe of Pimas, and Is an index for the future of Arizona's agriculture.
 The VekOl (Old Grandmother was discovered in 1880 by Mir. J. D. Walker and is owned by J. D. Walker < Brother. The ore IS chiefly chloride. Develop ment commenced ID the following Aug ust. The silver product of two men the first day was S59. The ore Is assorted at the mine. and the best Is shipped east for reduction, averaging at least S3OO per ton. There are more than 5,OOO tons of second class ore winch will average $50 per, ton now on the dump. There is ten stamp mill here, but owing to a failure of the parties to comply with their contract the Walker Bros. have not received it. But We are told the ore will not spoil, and that 1t Is safe invest ment as it now lies upon the dump. About forty men are employed. chiefly Mexicans and Indians. The quantity of ore appears unlimited. There is but little waste labor. The south extension is a continuation of the Nekol.
 The firm runs a store well stocked with staple goods and many luxuries, which are sold at about Salt River prices. The boarding house is supplied with the best viands the market affords. Complaints are unheard of by the men. The pro- prietors are at all times ready to pay cash for labor when due. During so- j0urn of several weeks We have not seen an intoxicated person. The water for camp use is obtained at a we'll two miles distant; depth b feet. The supply is abundant.
 We predict that on fome future day this property will rank amongst the first in the Territory. The ore is sbund- ant, the silver is III 1t and it is free mill ing.

Mortality and Fire-Arms-


 A Texas newspaper publishes statistics of the homicides in that state during 1884 to show that of the 1J6 men who were killed 14G had firearms in their hands when they fell Placing the adult male population of Texas at 4OO. 900. it esti- mates that 3J0, 900 of them do not carry arms and that 90 1000 do. and it then shows by very simple process of arithmetic that one in every 36O who car ried pistols was killed. whereas of those who went unarmed only one in 22, 1000 was killed.
 These facts are of interest to life in surancc companies if 10 nobody else. They show clearly enough that the nor tality among the warriors is very great whereas the men of peace enjo1 reason able immunity If it can be shown that the same conditions exist elsewhere it may be necessary to raise the mtes on men who are so careful of their lives as to go armed habiiually.

It is certain that they would be- come better men and prove to be bet ter journalists if they would rellnqulsh the wickedness of city life and engage for a season in the pleasant attractions of teaching school at Gila Bend.

 John c. Loss, Esq, of Casa Grande, has sold his entire lumber yard and stock to Mir. J. Champion, the old reliable lumber merchant of Final and Casa Grande.
 Mir Megson returned form the Qui- jotoas this week. He says the grading for the mill has been completed, and all the machinery IS now on the road. The company's we'll Is down 40 feet, and contains bountiful water supply for milling purposes. The well is by 9 feet.
 The new machinery in the Ray concen- trating mill Is all m place, and We un- derstand that R trial run will be made next week. If the new improvements in the mill prove a success active and permanent operations at the mine and mill will be commenced at once. We believe that, notwithstanding the low price fl copper, this enterprise can be made permanent success If the ore can be successfully treated. There IS cer- tainly an adundance of the latter and the grade IS good.
 While he was here last week, Agent Wheeler showed us a copy cf the law recently passed by Congress, giving civ il authorities jurisdiction over Indian reservations and Indians. Under the provisions of this new law, the Indian Is placed in exactly the same position as that occupied by any other person who may commit crime. If they commit crime on or of the reservation, tEey are liable to the prosecution and punish ment as would be any other person who may commit the same offense. Under the provisions of thIs act, the Indians who recently murdered two of their countrymen down at the Qusiate village can be arrested and tried just the same as if they had been white citizens. The law is a good one. but is liable to in- crease our criminal business, and may lead to some trouble with the noble" red men.

 The Silver City Enterprise of last week refers to the death of a young man named Mclean at Hudson's Hot Springs, New Mexico. From the fact that George Mclean, late of Clifton was taken to those springs recently, quite Ill, 1t is believed here that he IS the person whose demise IS noted.
 Louis Jentzen has a contract with the Arizona Copper Company to take ore from the Oriental mine, in the Met calf group. He has struck body of copper ore which IS a wonder, and from the heretofore undeveloped mountain side the increase of copper adds to the wealth of this fsr-famed and wondrously rich mining district.

Letters upon his person show that he has friends at Dau- bury, Conn, and that he holds a con- mission from the Interior Department as Inspector of Timber for Colorado.

Experience is proving the fact that hay, grain and many vegetables can be raised without irrigation upor the mesa lands near Tucson. An average of two crops out of three can safely be counted on. With grain sown in December upon the first fall of rain, there is no reason why from one to two tons of hay per acre cannot be harvested upon any Oi the mesa lands.
