 By the first day of October there will be three mining companies at work on the placer grounds about twelve miles distant from Yuma. That the fields are rich has never been questioned, but lack of capital has retarded their development. Gila City, Laguna and the Pot Hole produced a large amount of the yellow metal some years ago, but the coarse gold having been "skim med off" the camps were abandoned and have since only been worked by dry washers, with indifferent success. The mining companies now interested in those placers will operate with water and from ap- pearances their success is assured. The mines are easy of access; wa ter is abundant, fuel plenty, labor cheap, and with the immense area of auriferous ground at hand there is no reasou why a rich and paying industry should not be opened up. All of which will be good news to the people of Yuma county.-Sen- tinel.
 There is a disposition on the part of a great many citizens to throw the blame for the non-settlement of the rich valleys of Cochise county on to the shoulders of the cattle men. Their argument is that the stock owners have taken up all the good land and water holes, and that that fact keeps those who would settle in the valleys, and farm their l60 acres or more, from doing so. Too many persons are led to be- .ieve this assertion without looking into the facts. In the first place, if 1t were not for the cattlemen in Co., ehise county, how would our af- fairs be situated? They pay one .hird of all the taxes in the coun- ,y, and were 1t not for them our and real estate owners would be unable to stand the in- creased rate of taxation which would De exacted of them; our county would not be able to meet its obli- ,ations. The cattlemen also bring nore money to our merchants than my other class of.customers. With ut them Tombstone would not con- ain more than one-half of the busl- less houses that it does at present. Wilcox would be corner grocery tore, and Benson would be no bet CT off.-Tombstone Prospector.

 Reviewing the condition of the
 cattle raising industry at the pre-
 sent time, in a we'll considered arti-
 cle the American Farm Journal
 says: "The Journal has long held
 to the position that there could be
 no permanent recovery from the de-
 pression in the cattle market until
 the supply of breeding cattle was
 reduced below the normal ratio
 of cattle to population. We say
 below, because the majority of farm CTS force sales on falling market and thus increase the visible supply, and withhold sales on a rising mar ket, thus abnormally decreasing it, and eventually forcing prices as much too high as they were too low during the last days of the depres- sion. This is human nature, or, rather, the speculative element in human nature. Just when cattle are reduced to their proper ratio to population, in other words, when there are enough she cattle left to supply the wants of the home and foreign markets, no one can know, because we have no accurate statis- tics to start with, and such govern ment statistics as we have or will have, will not be available until 1891, when the next census is pub lished. Hence any estimates of the supply of breeding cattle must be more or less guess work. There are, however, a few considerations which, though not matters of exact statistics, are yet grounds broad enough to form basis for the con- duct of the farming operations. It is, for example, a matter of posi- tive knowledge that farmers are quick to abandon any business that tor a number of years does not pay, and to rush into anything which promises better immediate returns. That farmers both on the plains and on the prairies have been dropping out of cattle and going into horses and sheep is a we'll known fact. This will tend to reduce the supply; how far we do not know, for want of statis- ties"
