The Mountain Queen Group of Mines

The following is the report of MT. LA. Conlee, NJ. E., on his examin- ation of the Mountain Queen group of mines:
 "This property is situated thirty-five miles south of Casa Grande on the Southern Pacific railroad, in the Bit terwells range of mountains, and is east of the celebrated Vekol mine one and one half miles.
 This property consists of three full mining claims the Mountain Queen, San Francisco and South Silver. The Mountain Queen is where the open inps ha' been made. This property has a tunnel run in on the vein for a distance of two hundred and fifty feet, showing well defined walls the entire length and vein of mineralized rock to the width of three to four feet, car rying kidneys of high grade ore. At 150 feet from mouth of tunnel winze has been sunk to the depth of 30 feet, where quite body of high grade ore is found. At 225 feet in from the mouth of the tunnel winze has been started and sunk seven or eight feet, showing a quantity of high grade ore
 "My samples, taken from different parts of the mine are as follows:
 At the 225 foot level, in. the tunnel sample goes 100 ounces silver.
 At the 225 foot level in the winze sample goes 166 ounces silver.
 At the 225 foot level, in the winze sample fine ore goes 130 ounces silver
 At the 15O foot level, in the tunnel sample goes 90 ounces silver.
 At the 150 foot level, in the winze sample goes 175 ounces silver.
 "At about 250 feet directly above this tunnel another opening has beer made by running tunnel in on thC vein 30 or 35 feet, showing large body of carbonate of lead; samples taker from this point gave 75 ounces silvel and 30 per cent. lead, and 30 ounces silver and 40 per cent. lead.
 "This property is situated in thu richest part of the mineral belt in thu Bittcrwells range; within a radius o six miles quite a number of properiie are successfully working. Hinds { Chillson's Great Eastern is only short distance, Vekol 11 miles, th' Mineral World, Monarch, Leona, Mas todon, Kansas City and Chicago ar all first class properties in this range
 "In my judgment all this propert. will require is a little money to put on the list of dividend paying proper ties"

The Vekol Vicinity.

The Great Eastern silver mine ad- joining the Vekol is demonstrating every day of its development that it is a property that bids fair to become a mine that may rival the Vekol The history of this mine is peculiar one and the Great Eastern from the time of its discovery to the present day has been marked with a series of complete successes. Its present prominence and healthy stage of development is due especially to the unceasing efforts and good business judgment of MT. Howell Hinds.
 The Queen of Sheba properties, in cluding the Queen of Sheba proper, the Gibraltar and Old King Solomon mines are looked upon as a very valu- able property but it is said the St. Louis broker who handled it wanted a $50 900 return for five cent expendi- ture
 A short line of rail road from Mari copa to the Vekol and Great Eastern camps will some day not distant give that famous region all the facilities for mining and convey to first-clasi market the products of the Gila val ley.
 The Great Eastern makes a run at tht Vekol mill on September list. Thi is the third run this year that thi mine has made. The ore is very higl grade and the average yields a gooC profit.
 The rains prior to the fall seasol have commenced and the dust of sum mer will soon have vanished and tn balmy days of September and Octobe be in full regalia.

It seems to be u1incult tnlnS TOT the government to find permanent home for Geronimo and his band of Apaches. The secretary of var recently said that there was no foundation for the rumor that Apache Indians now confin- ed in Alabama are to be returned to Arizona. He said that it would be better if the Indians were removed to to some place more congenial, but they could not be sent 10 the Indian reser- vations on account of the treaties and it needing warm climate for tho Ind ians, they could not be sent north. It has been suggested, he said, to put them on an island off Southern Cali fornia, but 1t has never een seriously contemplated. The Indians are al present content, but their present location can be but a temporary one.- Arizonan.

 DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL CoMMITTEE}
 Solomonville, Aug. 6, 1S8S)
 The Democrats of the Territory of Arizona are required to hold a con- vention in their respective counties of delegates elected at primary cleo ton to be held in the different pre- cincts therein under the direction of their county central committees, for the purpose of selecting delegates to the Territorial Democratic convention to be held at Tucson on the 3d day of September, 1888, which convention will nominate 8 candidate of the Dem ocratic party to represent the Terri tory in the Congress of the United States and transact such other busi- ness as it may deem proper.
 The appointment of delegates to said Territorial convention from sev- eral counties is as follows, viz Apache, 6; Cochise, 12; Gila, 3; Graham, 6; Maricopa, 9; Mohave, ?; Pinal. 4 Pi- ma, 8; Yavapai, 12 and Yuma 3.-To- tai GA.
 In view of the fact that a bill is now pending in Congress whereby, if it be- come law, it will be imperative upon the President to appoint citizens of the territories to fill the federal offices therein; it might therefore be judicious for the Democratic Territorial conven- ton to express its preference for the persons to fill these offices; especially as it is not probable that full repre-. sentation of the Democratic party will assemble again within the next two years.

Disarm The Indians.

Since the early dawn of civilization it has been considered safe rule to prepare for war in time of peace, and this healthy advice is particularly applicable to the disarming of the Apa- ches at the present suspicious time. The press of the Territory should not lose sight of this all important matter, but should stand solid pha- lanx in urging the government to act in this matter, at the earliest possible moment. A more ridiculous propo- sition than arming these Indians can not be conceived, and the mistake hay ing been made, the thing to be done Is for the government to remedy it. before another era of bloodshed occurs Citizen.

Glanders Sprea ding.

An eastern gentleman calls the at tention of it's readers to the wide pre- valence of glanders in the United States and says that it is appearing in new quarters every year. Its viru- lence, it's incurability, and the fact that 1t IS the most loathsome disease with which live stock is afflicted, are in themselves sufficient to make 1t thoroughly dreaded by all who know anything of its nature. And when there is added to this its easy commu- instability to man, and its unfailing fatality, the gravity of the situation is certainly sufficiently apparent. Spe- cial cognizance of this disease must be taken by veterinary authority, and that soon, if this country is to be spar ed one of the worst scourges it has ever had from any malady affecting its farm stock.

It is not at all unusual to hear the reports of pistol shots ill the late hours of the night in various portions of town, that startle the nervous sleepers from their repose and suggest to the imaginative the possibility of tragedy being enacted. Some of these unseas- enable shots are probably directed at predatory CUTS engaged in nocturnal forays upon unguarded kitchens, but the major portion of them are the expres- sive effects of unrestrained libations of fighting whisky, and frequent narrow escapes from the stray bullets suggest the absolute necessity of stringent measures being taken to suppress this species of dangerous amusement. It is impossible for the small force of the sheritfs deputies to be on guard day and night, but if the witnesses to these disturbances can be induced to appear against the offenders, few wholesome examples of the application of the law will do much to check this ruffianly practice. The good name of the place suffers with every repetition of such outrages and all good citizens should make it their duty to aid in suppress sing them.

Pump Irrigation.
P. J. BOLAN

Under this title the Oakland News discusses a phase of irrigation, which it appears, would b. applicable to a large portion of Cochise county, on which there is any quantity of water at from six to thirty five feet in depth. It is here presented for the careful consideration of land owners;
 A force pump to raise the water thirty or forty feet will cost $200, and will throw 600 gallons per minute. It will require four horse power engine to work it, which would cost $450. The expense of running the engine and pump would be $3 per day.
 A pump of this kind running fifteen hours per day would irrigate coco acres of land or over, once week, putting an inch of water on the land each time. This is rather liberal wat ering.
 The expense of keeping this up for the season, say six months, would be as follows:
 Force pump ..............$ 200 Four horse power engine ~ 45C Cost of running 1S0 days. ... SAC Expenses and repairs. . 6C

Murder Near Silver King.


 Desiderio Lopez, a wood contractor at Tom Buchanan's wood camp, nine miles from Pinal, owed Ynez Cisneros seven dollars for wood furnished him. When Cisneros asked for his pay, last Saturday evening, Lopez replied that be wouldn't give him the money, but would give him "this," and suit ing his action to the word, plunged a knife into Cisneros, who staggered a few steps away and fell to the ground dead. Lopez immediately made his escape towards the Superstition noun tains.
 Word was conveyed immediately 10 Final and Deputy Sheriff Pete Boscha, armed with q warrant and an express messenger gun, started in pursuit of the fugitive murderer. No trace was found of the man until Monday even ing when Jack Frazier's ranch was reached. MT. Frazier had seen a strange track down a neighboring can yon that afternoon and thought it might possibly be that of the person wanted. Mir. Frazier left his own affairs and kindly volunteered to assist the deputy in following the trail and rendering such assistance as might be necessary in the capture of the fugi- tive should they overtake him. The trail led directly to Marlow's ranch, in the Superstition mountains, and Mir Frazier, who had gone on ahead to To- cate the criminal, was engaged in con- versation with the man wanted and one of MT Marlow's herders when the deputy suddenly appeared with his drawn gun and commanded the cul prit to throw up his hands.
 The prisoner was taken to Pinal and upon preliminary examination was held without bonds to appear be fore the grand jury and was brough down on Wednesday by deputy Bos cha and lodged in the county jail.
