A PROMISING pgosgcT

The plan devised by the Yavapai Development Company, to build up the mining industry of Yavapai Ooun. 1 ty, is meriterous one, promising exs cellent results, and is worthy of adop- ton by other mineral distiicts, and especially by those remote from rail- roads, and lacking in facilities for the reduction of ores of moderate gradf, of which in several districts of Arizona there are many thousand tons on he dumps of various mines, now prpeti- eally worthless.
 The plan of the Yavapai company is to employ an experienced mining man, conversant with the treatment of ores, te visit all the mines accessible from Prescott, and test the ores with I view of determining what method or methods of reduction could be success fully employed in the treatment of ores at Prescott, and the amount of ore that could reasonably be counted upon to supply custom works.
 After these points have been de' termlned, then the company will pro ceed tc erect the required works, in the operation of which they will aim to treat ore at minimum cost to the miner, allowing only for a small re- turn to the company above actual expense, to be disbursed to stock holders Tn dividends. As q majority of tue latter would be interested in mines, or else indirectly benefited by the success eff the enterprise, dividends would not be an object with them. Every citizen is invited to subscribe to the stock, and nine owners will be asked to contribute low grade ere. now of httle or no value to them, for the benefit of tue company.
 The necessary works Tn many dis triots need not be very expensive as idle mills are frequently to be had for one.tenth theIr original cost. and would require only to be fitted with new appliances, to cheapen auE facili- tate the treatment ot disslmilar ores.

 In view of the fact that the Fiftiath Congress took no action upon the sil. yer question and that the Treasury Department IS net disposed 10 carry out the silver policy of the Republi- can party, as expressed in the national platform, by increasing the coinage of silver dollars to S4,00000Q per month, the maximum amount provided for by the Bland bill, it is suggested by the Hon. Ivan C. Michels, of Washington, who holds an important position with the Senate Cemmittse on Coinage, Weights and Measures. that conyen. ton be called to rloet in San Francis co during the present recess of Con- gress, with representatives from all sections, to discuss ways and means fer more vigorous presentation of the silver question. One of the chef causes of weakness among silver ad- voeates has been lack of unity and organized effort. The increased rep resentation in Congress which the West gains by the admisslon of four States should greatly strengthen the silver cause, and result in legislation to coapel increased coinage of the white metal.

The sun dance, a favorite dlverSior sf the Cheyenne and Sioux Indians, is looked upon with disfayor by the Gov ernment, as melting to discord. A feature of the sun dance is the sub mitting by young bucks, as proof ei their courage, to have their bodies la esrated and mutilated by the knives oi their elders, the wounds inflicted not infrequently proving fatal. Tbs In dians at the Tongue River Agency Montana, were preparing to indulge in this heroic pastime, but the Govern, msnt has sent troops to dissuads them from their purpose.

People who oppose corporal punish

The "rule by kindness theory Is very pretty, and perhaps applicable to the kinder. earten and Sunday school, but persons with practical experience in the train ing of children know that the judicious application of the rod in the school is necessary to subdue the natural GUS sednsss of hunaa nature, which early maniiests itself in the child. Children arc as different in thelr dispositions as are people oi mature years, and no strict rule can be followed in their management. Some can be governed by kindness and persuasion, while others need frequent applications of the birch, and the method to be em- ployed in each individual case must be left to the discretion of the teacher.

A buzzIng discussion by mental tourists IA search of the location of the Blarney Stone was held in front of the BELT office, by numerous tongues, none of which located the spot, or cafas within miles Of it, and, therefore, the editor ot the BELT, as christian gentleman, now blazss the trail and starts travellers on the winding way, "Te where there is a stone there which is endowed with persuasive eloqusnce, which will be found em- bedded in the northern outer wall of Blarney Castle, at about 20 feet from the roef, and which was placed there by the royal race ot McCarthys, in the 18th century. The castle IS only six miles from the city of Cork and ad- joins the once highly cultivated Groves oi Blarnsy," and only short distance from the little lake of Blar- ney, from which tradition has it "that herds of beautiful white cows, at cer- tain seasons, rise from the bottom of tho lake to grazs sn tho bordering pastures" {"
 The reader, no doubt, has mentally marked the position of the Blarney Stone and IS at sea as to how it is to be reached and kissed, but he will cease to wonder when he is informed that there are two Blarney Stones, one of which is kept on the first floor as you enter the castle, and you are as- sured that each possesses the magnetic power of unhmbering the tongue. Hence it is that a pilgrim from the Blarney Stone at onco becomes of world celebrity, captivates and mar iiss the girl of his choice, and, if polit- ically disposed, by reason of his ac- quirsd power eff eratory, becomes a aaember of Parliament, or, fla trans Atlantic citizen, member of Con " ast clever spouter,

 In the fight and kilhng of Zuni In- dians, the cowboys were the aggrcs- sors. The whites, in passing through the Indian reservation, claimed and attempted to drive from their pas turage near Fort Wingate, Zuni cat tic, and refused to surrender them to the alleged owners. In attempting to recover the stock the Indians were fired upon and one of their number killed The firing then became gen eral, which resulted in the death of the other pursuing Indians and serious ly wounding cowboy Dayls. The sheriff upon being notified summoned posse, gave chase. and arrested three, David Hamm, James Sommerville and their wounded comrade Davls, who were. on the 1lth inst, placed in jail at Wingate.

The cowardly attack by gang of masked highwaymsn upon Paymastor
 Wham's escort, in Cedar Canyon. re- sulting Tn the killing of one soldier and wounding ofsevon, puts the James Boys or our ewn McNeil to the blush. As with all such act, of course, the ob- lsct was to obtain money wherewith to aveid the necessity of labor, but money in the hands of such depraved characters is quickly dissipated in pan dering to depraved tastes, and the sum which each would receive in an equal division is paltry when weighed by the enormity of the crime. There are said to have been twelve men in the attacking party, and the loot se- cured amounted to SlS,000 in gold and silver, and Sll ,000 ln currency. The robbery was deliberately planned, af- Gording the victims no possible chance for successful resistance, Tho spot chosen for ,he commission of the crime was fortified and enfladed by armed men with the determination of making every shot tell, and that the robbers wore not mistaken in their selection of the place of attack is attested by the casualties resulting to tho Paymas- ter's party, and now it is to be deveut- ly hoped that the wonderful power of death may be visited upon the guilty parties in order to smooth out the wrinkles of their accursed lives.

THE nALD gxonEas srEAxenED.

A more ravolting sight could scarce y be imagined than the bungling ex- oeution of the Missouri Bald Knob bers, John Matthews, Dave and Bill Walker. as detailed in the Globe. Dem ocrat. Great pressure was brought to bear upon Governor Francis to have the sentences eommuted to life i'm. prisonment, but the Governor reso- lutely refused to interfere
 At the solicitation of tue condemned men, the sheriff at Ozark, reluctantly undertook to execute tha sentence, al, though never having seen hanging, and the result was one of the most shocking misadyentures ever wit messed. The ropes were all too long, aad when the traps were sprung the vietims were preeIpitatsd with their feet touching the ground, and half strangled, began series of conter- lions fearful to behold The moose slipped up over Dave Walkers lace, and after it had been again adjusted and frightened around his neck, he was left to slowly strangle, as was Mat thews, also.
 The violent writings of the young CT Walker breko the rope, and he lay on the ground for upwards of min ute moaning plteously and begging to be killed. As the trap could not be closed until his father and Matthews were cut down, there was nothing to do but await their deaths, which re- quired some fifteen minutes, and all this time Bill Walker sat on the edge of the platform, m fearful agony of mind and body, fully conscious of the situation, lke second attempt to hang him was almost as unsuccessful as the first his neck was net broken by the fall and he was slowly choked to death.  So sickening was the scene that many ot the onlookers fled in dismay.
 Such an inhuman performance, un- der the sanction of law, is an uuan- swerable argument in favor of a re form in the methods of executing the death sentence upon criminals.
 The guilt of the prisoners was fully established by the confession of fellow Knobbers, and by wounds received by Bill Walker and Matthews on the night when they attacked James Eden house and killed Wm. Eden and ChaS. Green, and wounded James Eden. Two hundred and fifty indictments were returned against some eighty Knobbers, five of whom escaped by turning States evidence, three con victed of murder, three sentenced to the penitentiary, enc acquitted and tho others punished by jail sentences and fines.

It's only recently that the wires were laden with the startling accounts of an Apache outbreak from the San Carlos Agency, and the weunding of a Mr. Cady, at d pomt remote from the agency, and subsequently, roasting him upon stove until life was ex- tiuet. Knowing that the presence of a steve indicated that the cnme was committed within the four walls of a house, and that rancher so protected was not at all likely to permit strag- gliug Indians, seldom seen in the vicinity where the tragedy occurred, to approach dwelling without resis- tance, we concluded that the report was rearback, 50 far as Indians were concerned, and, So believing, tele- graphed an inquiry to the agent at San Carlos, as to what truth there was in regard to the reported outbreak. and was answered that there was none whatever We then concluded that the murder was the work of Aexicans, and so orally stated to maay citizens, and wired the Pacific Associated Press to that effect, That we were then correct in our conclusion is an admit ted fact. What the press of Arizona most needs is newsmongers who will investigate reports before communi- eating them for publication,

On the 18th the Supreme Court Of the United States affirmed judgment against the city of New Orleans, in favor of the estate of Myra Clark Gaines for the sum of $567 ,000. In 1867, in another suit against the same city, the U. S Supreme Court declared her htle to certain property valid, from which she derived several mil lions of dollars. Her right was first disputed by Relf and Chew, executors of Danlel Clark, upon the ground of her legitimacy as the daughter of Clark not being well founded, alleg- ing that Clark was never married, which she disproved, and after an un- parslled prolonged litigation was, in part, remunergted for her persistent efforts 10 establish ker right as the sole heir of Daniel Clark.
