A Valuable Opinion of Mines.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Dec. 3rd, 1888.
 Editor Journal Miner-Arizona is fast becoming the center of all of our territories for investments of various kinds, and especially in the mining industry. The time has been when a company that wished to invest here had to do so under adverse circum- stances-long hauls, remoteness from civilization, and placing life and prop erty in jeopardy; as it is said, placing life in one end of the balance and a pound of gold in another, take your choice. While the native element held sway at large, natural ignorance of mining and of the treatment of ores of all kinds had it on the other hand, to the great detriment of the commonwealth of Arizona Go where you will, you will find mines partially worked i'll years gone by, mill plants of every name and order on the decay, and many spot shows only the grade where once stood mill of fair fame l Was 1t encouragement or ignorance of the business, or was the machinery not adapted to the treatment of the ores? I think the latter idea has done much to Arizona's detriment Ores must be worked or treated as you find them, and not after a fancy ideal of plant to custom, but ma chinery must work in harmony with it, as chemicals combine for union whether it be concentration, free silver or gold milling, etc.
 Many of the old, once worked mines are now being reclaimed by faithful work, good management, etc. Men oI sound experience have taken hold tc make success with adequate machin cry of the latest improved patterns and making a grand success out of tho old failures that have been an eyt sore to all good men for many years Success having been male out of un. successful attempt beforehand is { proof of the pudding.
 To name all the good and wort h, properties of our territory, or of Yaya pal county, would call further time and space, not admissible here; few ne1r at hand must suffice: Congress Ora Bella, Crown King, Howard, Sen a.or an1 Alligator mines. These ar'

THERE is a well defined but unef- ticial report that the Silver King mill at Pinal will soon close down for an indefinite period of time, but the work in the mine will continue. Whether this is owing to the exhaustion of the ore Or is the part of stock deal, opin- ion is divided, but it is stated that the mine will be thoroughly exploited for new ore bodies The movement of eastern stockholders to get control of the management at the annual meet ing next month may have something to do with the present cessation of active work, but just what there is to be gained by a change of manage ment is not apparent at this time. The belief that large ore reserves still exist in this famous mine is confident ly expressed by those who are familiar with the property and 1t is to be hop ed that their belief is we'll founded. The exhaustion of this mine, although it has produced an enormous wealth of silver bullion, will be calamity to Pinal county, notwithstanding there are several other properties that prom ise to become even greater dividend payers than the Silver King.

A CORRUPTION FUND.
Phenix the First with a Doodle Sack to
 Tempt Legislators.
Prescott Journal-Miner.

Prescott Journal-Miner.l
 That Phenix has set her heart on the territorial capital, as well as on all other territorial institutions, there can be no doubt. That her citizens will resort to any methods to secure it, there is also no doubt. Before the nomination of l.. H. Orme for joint councilman, from this district, he is represented, by such honorable gentle men as J. J. Hawkins, territorial audit or, J. c. Herndon, district attorney of this county, H. T. Andrews, internal revenue collector, and others, as hay ing pledged himself in their presence as opposed to the removal of the capit- al. He is also reported, by persons equally reliable, as having, in Q public speech in Phenix, announced himself unalterably in favor of the removal of the capital to that place and, if no one else would introduce bill for that purpose, he would do so himself. On the strength of his pledges to promi- nent democrats here, Mir. Orme was enabled to receive the support and full vote of his party in Prescott, while on the strength of his Phenix speech, he was enabled to receive not only his party vote but large vote from his political opponents who favor the re- moval of the capital to Phenix.
 The Journal-Miner is in possession of reliable information that a corrup- ton fnnd of $l0,000 has been raised in Phenix with the same object in view. The plan, as revealed by a party in the secret, Is to secure a special car, to start from Phehix just previous to the session of the legislature, to convey the entire southern delegation. Gila legislators will be invited to join 1t at Phenix, while the plan is to pick up the Yuma delegation at Maricopa junction, the Pinal at Casa Grande Pima at Tucson, and Cochise and Graham further east, the car to be run around via Deming snd Albuquerque and the Apache delegation will be in vited to join 1t on the Atlantic and Pacific. On the strength of this free ride, capital removal manipulators in tend to form their combinations fol the organization of both houses as vel as to map out the legislation for the session.
 This is one of the boldest corruption schemes ever inaugurated for the pur pose of influencing legislation, anC demonstrates that there are people il the Salt river valley who will stop a nothing to gratify their greed for pub lie institutions, being in possession O two already, and not being satisfied until all other public institutions ar located there
 The honest citizens of this territory whether they favor the removal of tn capital or not, but who do favor homes legislation through honorable means will watch wish interest the progress c this special ZIG, 900 corruption fund cal on it's way to Prescott, for the purpos of learning the names of the legislator it may pick up en route, and will als watch with equal interest their action afterwards in the halls of legislation.

THE ALMOND.
Some Reasons Why Its Planting Should Be Encouraged.
 San Jose Mercury.

Plant almonds.
 Before doing so, however, be sure that you secure the best varieties.
 Ifproperly attended. to certain varie- ties of almonds will prove as profitable as any crop that can be raised in Santa Clara valley, and that is saying a great deal, for the average profits of fruit-raising here are enormous. The soil and climate of this valley are we'll adapted to the successful growth of the almond, and the trees beag in re- markedly short time.
 It is fact that almond-growing is becoming more popular throughout the State every day, and this season will see large number of these trees set out. The reason is that the indus try has been placed on a satisfactory basis, which few years ago it was not. The trouble was Tn a great measure due to the question of proper varieties, and this has been solved after a great deal of study, experience and no little expense on the part of horticulturists In this valley one objection to the al mond was that it required a great length of time before coming into bearing-much longer than was con- sidered profitable to wait; and for that reason the industry was not extensive ly engaged in, and in some instances the trees were removed to make room for other varieties of fruit.
 The trouble was due to the fact that the proper variety had not been plant. ed, as the experiments of several orch. ardists have shown. The almond is supposed to be a native of Asia, Bar barry and Nor Occo, but is grown with success in all the warm temperate re gions of the Old World. Like the apricot, it is eminently suited to the soil and climate of this valley, anC | fiourishes here as well as it does 1T any part of the world. In planting the trees, however, the grower of course desires to secure the variety that vii bring about the best results. On thi: subject the Mercury is able to furnish some information learned by the expe

The last shipment of copper from Wilcox, by the Old Dominion Copper Company, reported by the Stockman, was 66, 800 pounds.
 The frequent rains have produced an abundant growth of alfiieria on the ranges in Gila County. It is valua- ble feed at certain seasons of the year, and is eagerly eaten by stock.
 As suggestions of persons for Gov ernor are in order, we feel called upon to name W. H. Griffith, of Gila Coun- ty, representative man, well quail fled for the position, and in doing so we are not sure that "Grif' will thank us for taking so great liberty with his name.
 An alleged attempt to defraud the Government was unearthed at San Carlos on Thursday last, the parties to it being Harry Temple, superinten- dent Of the Agency Indian School, and Robt. Holt, of Globe. It Is charged that Temple had given Holt sack of Government four in exchange for vegetables. Holt was arrested and placed in the guard house. Temple was discharged ss superintendent, but has not left the reservation.

 We are informed that a Mr. Taylor, of California, has purchased the Wat kins ranch and improvements for S275O, and all the cattle at $12.50 per head. The purchaser has secured a great bargain, the ranch being one of the most desirable in Central Arizona the improvements alone being worth the purchase money. MT. Taylor is also bringing in 1900 head of cattle from New Mexico, which were unload ed at Holbrook and brought as far as Delshay Basin where the drive was temporarily abandoned, owing to the miry condition of the ground, the re- suit of the heavy rains. Capt Wat kins does not give possession of the ranch until next May.
 w. W. O'Neill, editor of the Hooi and Horn, and Sheriff-elect of Yava- pal County, writes us that the sue cessful completion of the Walnut Grove water storage reservoir which covers an area of some 200 acres, has encouraged the Murphy brothers ot Prescott, to build an immense dam on Lynx creek, seven miles from Pres colt, plans for which are now being perfected, to be used for placer min ing, and also agricultural purposes ir Lonesome valley, where an immense tract of land is to be irrigated Mir O'Neill adds: "If my recollection ot the topography of the Salt River near Armer's, Gila County-serves mt right, the example set by the Walnut Grove people and Murphy brothers could be followed with immense sue cess, and an area equal to an Easterl county be easily reclaimed"

JUDGE BARNES expresses the opin- ion [off the bench, of course] that the portion of Arizona about Florence is destined to become the most beauti- ful portion of the Territory as well as among the most populous. He says it may try the patience of some for a short time longer while the transi- ton from the desert condition to a state of high cultivation is taking place, but the magnificent destiny oi the valley, is fully assured by natures grand endowment and the develop ment of a splendid water supply.

all high grade in character and miner alization, and stand among the first plants today The Alligator property especially has great history and promises much in the near future for its mineral deposit.
 Arizona is not failure as 1t has been stated by many. It was fail- ure in the mining industry while 1t was being run and conducted by in competent and ignorant management men that did not know the differ ence between quartz mill and a hay wagon, who would go quartz mining with span of mules, a blow and a scraper. If mining did not pay, then the business was failure, once and for all
 But, how different to-day under practical management, thoroughly conversant with every detail in the treatment of all ores-crowned with success on the very top of all failures This is strong saying, but it is never theless a fact beyond dispute. Capi tai is coming to day, will come, and UluSl COllt, IO lllN6SI III Cul oltNSCSolu LII and worthy plants, for they can do nc better elsewhere.
 It has been said that the mines o Arizona do not go down in depth that they play out. What is the use of mines going down when mine own CTS refuse to go down even as far al they do go because the ore has become base and could not be treated under their limited knowledge of the business This idea is false and misleading. Art they not found here, as anywhere else under geological principles? Th' same law governs all. The erosior and teaching of time is not considered here. The mining industry must b, managed by competent men acquaint ed with all the details as business just the same as a successful bank, hardware or any other mercantile in terest, and is just as safe as an invest ment can be made.

rience of Santa Clara county horticult- urists. Among the almond orchards Of the county, as an example, may be mentioned that of E. Russell Morris, on the old Tantau tract, seven miles west of San Jose. He has sixteen acres in almonds, the trees being but two years old. The trees are remark ably large, and this year bore fair crop of nuts. Next year 1t Is expected that a large crop will be yielded. Samples of the almonds raised on the place were brought to the Mercury of flee yesterday by Captain White of the firm of White, Wooster & Ensign. The nuts are of the soft-shell variety, and the kernel is fine and deliciously rcih and sweet There are two varie- ties-the "Nonpariel' and the II. X. L." They are the same as those grown with such success by A. Hatch of Sui sun, whose experience has led a number of orchardists to set out almond trees Besides the one named there are sever al almond orchards in this valley, among them that on the Quito farm, andss the success met with is indeed gratifying.
 There is a never failing market for almonds such as these, and big prices can always be secured. The uses to which the nuts are put are numerous, and there is no danger of an oVerpro- duction, for the reason that the demand is constantly increasing. For the soft shell variety, especially when they are of such excellent qu Ii y as those grown in this valley, there will always be ready sale at good prices. In many ways almond-growing is less ex' pensive than fruit raising, and far less labor is required to gather and care for the crops. It is source of gratifi- cation to the fruit growers that this great success in the cultivation of the almond has been reached, and the in. dustry in this country will no doubt in short time assume huge propor' tions.

clery. OccaslonaLly nuge SKULL happens to have pair of cross-bones near 1t, and suggests the ghoulish emblem of the deaths head.
 The bones are of all sizes and ages There are the dry bones that have lain bleaching for months on the prairie and have been gathered by some economic farmer and shipped to Chicago for few cents more than paid the freight. Then there are the juicy soup-bones fresh from the butcher-shop. But these must go through many transformations before they are ready for the market. First they are cooked and the grease all extracted. This grease is converted into lubricating oils. The bones are next put to soak in tank with water running constantly in and out. Thus they are cleaned. When all greasy impurities are removed the bones are laid out to dry and are ready to join company with their congeners of the plains. They are dropped into gigantic hopper and gronnd to coarse four or dust. The mill grinds with hungry greed and rarely re- ceives mouthful too difficult for it's paver of mastication. The bone dust is weighed, bagged, sorted and shipped to all parts of the country where fertilizing material is needed. One of the most valuable products of the establishment is glue. This is made of the hoofs of cattle. There is a secret process in it's manufacture that is always carefully guarded and is known to only one man. His is one of those peculiar trade se- cret that no patent right would properly protect In thls it resembles the secret Of making porcelain, possessed only by the Meissen (Saxony) porcelain potters. The hoofs are subjected to some process by which they gre turned into liquid This liquid comes out resembling in color and consistency New Orleans molasses. It is fun into cooling pans, where it becomes par tially solid. Then it is cut into cakes like gingerbread, and allowed to harden, and is then broken into small pieces and placed in barrels ready to be shipped.
 The horns furnish in themselves material for two or three different industries. The large, eurving horns of Texas cattle are made into house ornaments. The horns are also used for making ornamental chairs and other pieces of furniture a taste for which has become of late years exceedingly wide spread. The ordinary horns are turned into buttons of all kinds, and hunters and fish ers' furnishings.
