The Casa Grande district has as goo

The Casa Grande district has as good silver and copper properties as would be found in years of search and travel but we want capitalists not snides to open them up. One Wm. F. Wernse, late pyrotechnic maAipulator from St. Louis, arrived here lately. He did not want to buy mines but located barren hills and worse barren townsites and insinuated to the management of the Queen of Sheba either he must send thieving, lying re- ports on these locations or off would go his head. The management told the practical banker from St. Louis to go to hell.s Wernse, when asked to pay of1 the discharged miners of the Queen oi Sheba, said: "Oh, damn the men," Wernse described the St. Louis public as "hogs picking apples under tree never looking to see where~they came from.' He offered our best miners five cents on their thousand valuation, ane sarcastically called poor men capitalist because they asked reasonable hgur' for properties they had spent years o toll on. The miners of Casa Grand' district repudiate such tenderfeet.-

WHAT A SCOTCH MINER SAYS.

Mir. James McKirby, a scotch expert, recently from Australia, has just com pleted rapid investigation ofa number of New Mexico aud Arizona mining dis micts. Of Cerllos district he says that it will come prominently before the pub lie when capital will recognize that it can profitably be invested in the concentra- ton of ores there; that the Cerlllos min eral as a rule, is good concentrating min erals, that the ore bodies are large and when developed the mines will pay hand some dividends. He examined the sit uation in the Magdalena range and was favorably impressed, both with the mag nitude of the ore bodies and the quantity of the ore, and ie ofthe opinion that con. centra,ion, whe, piled to the ores there upon large scale, will be the making of camp that will enjoy permanent pros perity. He speaks in high terms of the Black Range camp, of Cooks Peak and of the camps sourrounding Silver City, Lordsburg and Clifton. For Tombstone he sees striking future, and also has the most encouraging remarks to make of Harshaw, Washington Camp, Red Rock and other points Tn Arizona. MT. McKirby is now on his way to Guadla- jara, Mexico, to report upon a group of valuable claims, and while in Mexico will investigate the prospects for tin, the latter being the object of his visit to this hemisphere. He informed the Bull lion reporter that which struck him par ticularly in the United States was the strong individuality of the American miners, their skill, grit and intelligence, and closed his remarks by saying that the problem throughout the mines oi New Mexico and Arizona to solve, was a successful system of the concentration oi their minerals. .-El Paso Bullion.

 TALES FOR THE MARINES.

The St. Louis Republic tells the fol- lowing tale about Thos. C, Drum, former resident of Tombstone, who oc. cupied the position and Court Commis- sioner and Probate Judge in early days. Judge Drum is now living in Butte, Montana: A brace of cowboys were at one time arraigned before him for hold ing up United States mail coach be- tween Benson and Tombstone, Ariz. The Judge held them both for trial without bail, and sent them to jail for safe-keep' ing. This made the cowboys very in dignant and threats were made that Judge Drums earthly career would be wound up. The sequal is thus told by the Republic:
 A few days after he ordered the pris- sners taken to Tombstone, Red Thorn ton, a notorious desperado, quietly en- tered Judge Drums office. The Judge was sitting behind desk. He recog- nized Thornton as he entered but pre- tended ts keep on writing without taking any notice of him. In the meantime, however, he managed to get his hand on double -barrelled shotgun, with the barrels abbreviated to abou: fourteen inches in length, that rested against his desk, within easy reach. He lifted it up, and concealed it behind pile of books, with his hand still erasping it, asked Thornton what he wanted, as that gen. tleman appeared in frent of.the desk.
 "Be you Jedge Drum?' asked the des' perado.
 I be-" responded the Judge.
 "Well kem to settle wid you about sendin' the b'yes to jail." remarked the desperado.
 "How are you going to do it?"
 "Judge, you're pretty good-lookiu duck an hate ter do it, but I've got tel blow the top of your d-d head off," re marked the gentleman with the red hair
 "That wouldn't be much fun for me especially as they struck big ore bod, in the Cromwell this morning." said tho Judge.
 "Judge, you are too d-d funay," sai' the desperado and he made motion fo his gun.
 As he did so the Judge presented hi shotgun, stood up and held the mnzzl within two feet of the desperado. Thi was something that had not been calcu lated on, and the intruder's disappoint ment was apparent.
 "Threw up your handsT called out tn Judge. Thornton obeyed promptl, "Now remain in that position until some body comes along to take off your pl' tols," said the Judge. Thornton did
 he was told and was landed in jail.

Our government should take hints from other nations upon the irrigation problem. But for canals, reservoirs, wells, etc., one-half of India would be a dese,t, Spain would not be very product i've nor would Italy. The governments of these countries have expended millions of money in making them productive There is here wide field for our gov ernment ts work in and now when the East is SO crowded, people think is the proper time for the government to start in and retain these so.called deserts. With irrigation facilities, Arizona would speedily become the principal citrus region of the world.
