Casa G.ande Notes.

At no time since the railroad reach ed Casa Grande has that favored min ing district looked so promising as at the present time. The Loss brothers, through their indefatigable, persis- tent, and systematic labors, are per haps entitled to more credit for the happy turn mining affairs have taken, than any other party. MT. Chris. Loss has just returned from another trip to the eastern money centers and has again placed another mine on the St. Louis boards. He has completed the sale of the Golden West mine in the Vekol range of mountains, for the sum of thirty thousand dollars, the major part of which has already been paid to the fortunate owners, Chris Johnson and Jack Shultz. A force of men under the foremanship of Chris. Johnson have already been put at work extracting the ore and, from present indications another plant wiH be soon added to swell the bullion output of Pinal county The Golden West has a large ledge of gold and sil- yer bearing rock and passed a most critical examination before being ac- cepted by the company.
 From the very general mining ac- tlvity and the impetus the new irri- gating canals will give to immigration, Pinal county can surely expect yer itable "boom' this fall
 The Central Silver mining company, twelve miles south or Cees.. r-., .Ade have encountered, at depth of two hundred feet, magnificent body of sulphurate and horn silver ore.
 From the very commencement this company have been in ore of large bulk and fair assay, but at no time has the mine looked as well as at pres ent, and although sufficient ore has been penetrated to warrant the erec- ton of reduction works, yet, to make assurance doubly sure they purpose sinking another hundred feet before placing their plant. In this they dis play wise judgment, and their selec- ton of an experienced western man as superintendent, shows that their inten- tions are to conduct thoroughly leg itimate enterprise. When MT. J. C.. Loss, their present uperintendent, recommends the erection of a mill they can feel assured that sufficient ore is in sight to warrant the outlay.
 This is in happy constrast with the too prevalent method employed by eastern capitalists, who first build mills and then hunt for ore to supply them.
 We are now more than ever con vinced that the Central Silver mining company have a fine property.

The cultivation of fruit in Arizona is in it's infancy. The Salt and Gila valleys are destined in few years to become one vast orchard and the prin- cipal source of fruit supply in the en- tire southwest, and for this reason, that the pests which ruin whole or chards in California and elsewhere are here unknown and cannot exist. This has been repeatedly demonstrated by shipments of trees into the Salt River valley that were covered by the black scale which entirely disappeared in the course of few months leaving the trees in a healthy and clean condi- ton. The writer hereof had a personal experience of this kind three years ago when he shipped into the valley from Los Angeles a dozen two-year-old orange trees together with several lemon trees and all were simply GOV cred with the black scale So far has the scale been from spreading that il has entirely disappeared. This fact goes to show pretty definitely that the scale is but sort of fungus growths in which insect life finds retreat anc which the hot sun of this climate de stroys-Phenix Herald

ATerribIe Accident.

At about twenty-three minutes to four o'clock yesterday afternoon as Reeds freight wagons were going up Fremont street, heavily loaded, boy aged seven years and named Juan Cy- press, attempted to get into the third wagon by getting onto the tongue of the trail. He missed his hold as he tried to swing onto the tongue and the wheels of the trail wagon, which was heavily loaded, passed over his body. His screams reached the ears of the driver of the team, who stopped his mules as soon as possible, but not in time to save the poor lad being man. gled in horrible manner. He was picked up, placed in Arnold's express wagon and conveyed to the county hospital where he was attended by Dr. Preston. His injuries consisted of the flesh being entirely torn off the left foot. The right leg was mashed into a jelly, the bones, muscles and veins being ground into an unrecog- nizable mass. His right arm was torn in two places, exposing the bone. George Haenger, the steward of the hospital, stopped the flow of blood un- til Dr. Preston arrived. The latter at once set about dressing and sewing up the mangled flesh. As is usual in such cases the priest was sent for, but he being out of town his friends came to the hospital and took the boy away to place him under the care of private physician.

Most Brutal Murder.

A Nogales dispatch of August 24th, reads as follows: "One of the most brutal murders ever committed in the territory took place this morning some time during the early hours. The victim was Louis Cohn, a prominent dry goods merchant and one of the oldest merchants in Arizona. The murderers assaulted him while asleep in 8 room in the rear of his store. beat ing him to death with coupling pin Cohn had been in the habit of sleeping with the back door to his room open, feeling perfectly safe as high picket fence with a securely locked gate cut off the room from the railroad yard into which the back door of the store opened. The murderers took small ladder used for lighting the street lamps on the Mexican side of the town which enabled them to get over the fence. It was then an easy matter to walk in and murder the merchant as he lay asleep. The unfortunate man's s head was beaten almost to jelly and one shoulder and one arm broken, be- sides numerous other bruises The bed and room were bespattered with blood and presented a sickening ap- pearance. A resident in the north part of the town says that early this morning he saw two men on the rail road track near his house changing their clothes. Officers with their clue have gone in pursuit The deed was evidently committed by Americans. The murdered man was buried this af- ternoOn."

A Tempest in A Tenpot.

Rev. I. T. Whittemore, of this place, is furnishing a series of letters to The Mid-Continent, of St. Louis, formerly known as the St. Louis Evangelist, in which the merits of the valley are set forth in 8 faithful and commendable manner that must be productive of good for this section. A more recent epistle to the Board of Church Free tion, intended to awaken greater in terest in the missionary cause on the frontier and the establishment of churches, was published in the Her aid and Presbyter without his knowl- edge and the republished extracts con veying a wrong impression of the ten or of the whole letter, have reached this place and for a few days created a feeling closely bordering upon indig nation towards their unconscious au- thor. A full explanation of the cir cumstances and facts has, however, quite modified the situation, and it is found that MT. Whittemore is exercis- ing all the power of his influence in behalf of this valley. The blame for the inJudicious publication rests pri- marily with the unauthorized publica- tion of his private letter, from which the enemies of the Territory were en- abled to extract just enough to make it appear to reflect upon the moral character of the people of this place. Mir. Whittemore disclaims all such in- tentions and his previously published letters confirm the truth of his state ment.

Pleasant Valley Pleasantries.


 The following communication was received from resident of Pleasant Valley:
 On the 31st of July the people of Pleasant Valley and vicinity assembled at Perkins store fearing an Indian raid, as they had been notified by some of John Dasin's Indians that large party were out After waiting till the 3rd of August, two men were sent to Tonto to find out what they could about the Indians. On their return next day they passed by Lauff- CTS ranch and found that he had been shot from an ambush that morning, while he and Chas. Livingston were af- ter their horses that were picketed just back of the house. Lauffer had his left arm broken just below the shoul der, the weapon being a 45-90 Win chester, as shown by the shells found under the tree from where the shoot ing was done. In the afternoon of the same day two men, Cody and Cole man, both quiet inoffensive citizens, and ill no way interested in the Gra- lielill- l ONNobNhg NoiJ HNAN oAAOO sNe from an ambush as they were riding along the trail just back of Mrs. Roe's ranch, in Pleasant Valley, and Cody's horse was killed. The parties doing the shooting, two in number, then got their horses and rode down into and across the valley and straight to Ed. Roes ranch, where they went in, and no one being there, they helped them selves to pair of field glasses and a picket rope and then pulled out. Par ties went on their trail, but soon lost it owing to rain. Since then every ranch has been deserted and the peo- pie are camped together for mutua, protection, between Perkins store and Mrs Roe's ranch, no man feeling safe in the prosecution of his own business as 1t evidently is not the intention oi the bushwhackers to confne theil murderous assaults to the Tewksbur. party, for the simple reason that ther' is only one man of that party in th' Valley, nor has any other been ther' for about two months.-Globe Silve Belt.

Discovered the Silver King.

Another of the original discoverers of the famous Silver King mine halls from St. Louis, and his name is w. D. Mendenhall. He has managed to se- cure little notoriety at the expense of his veracity, through the gullible col umn of the Globe Democrat. His tale wags as follows:
 Having been engaged in mining in various parts of the world for a number of years, I have quite diver sified experience. Often have I had Dame Fortune by the hand, but re- fused to hold on, and often have mis- sed big things by only a hairbreadth. One a notable instance was in Arizo- ma, where 1 was with party during an attack by Indians. It was while we were retreating to more friendly quarters that, during a halt one day, 1 picked up some float which proved to be very rich mineral. l took one of the party into my confidence, and we noted the location of our find. We then went to Tucson, and finally my friend and myself grub staked a few prOspectors and sent them out to OuI discovery. After few months, hay ing heard nothing from our men, we took stroll out ourselves, and were much surprised to find twenty-sever men at work and ore being shipped right along. Our false friends had re ceived intimation of our coming ant had skipped. Finally peace wal brought about and we allowed the work to go on and gave up our clain to the property, but located severa claims surrounding the one beinI worked, and thought we had all WI would require.

The Florence canal company has experienced some very provoking mis- hsps quite recently, by a series of breaks in the canal a short distance below the headgate and just back of Mir. Nicholas Whites ranch in Round Valley. For quite a distance a fill was made in constructing the canal and it has proved to be source of weakness and expense, as the peculiar quality of the soil of that locality seems to dissolve and melt away as soon as the water touches it. Repairs have been made repeatedly, but new section would suddenly give way when the water was again turned in. That portion of the work has been now suf- ficiently strengthened to admit of a small flow of water pending the time required for the construction of new route around that particular section and upon higher ground. It will re- quire the building of about one mile of canal, but it will be strongly made and capable of resisting the pressure of all the water the canal will carry | Work will begin on this portion in about ten days, or so soon as MT. Geo N. Pogue, the president of the com pany, arrives from the east.
