"The Kew LeadViIIe,"

A mining expert has given the Phoenix Arizonan the following ac- count of the new gold field in the Harqua-Gila mountains, Yuma county:
 "The lodges run few degrees west of north and south, and cut all the other locations, such as Vullure, the Haucavar copper mine, etc., at almost right angle.
 "At the first location, known as the Bull Downing" the ledge Is 160 feet wide and lays between DOT phyry and black lime walls. Seven or eight thousand feet it widens out to three-quarters of mile, and is then between porphyry and quart zite walls. While stating that the indications are "pockety." Captain Smith says the prospects are far richer than he ever saw before, and that the carbonate ore taken from ledge east of the rich strike has every resemblance to that of Lead vile, being of gray quartzite and assaying from tue hundreds up ward. Tine carbonates are of a blacksand formation, while the rich gold ore is of decomposad iron. A better field was never afforded for prospectors, as there is plenty of water and considerable amount Of timber. Like Leadyille. .p!acer mines have been worked within a few hun dred feet of the ledge for the last twenty years"

DoN PEDRO MoNTANo came in from his ranch, the Malpais Spring, last Monday night and brought the intelligence that three of his sheep herders h0d been killed at point about twenty miles east of Camp Apache. The news was brought him by a boy about ten years of age, who was with the sheep at the time. From his statement 1t ap- pears that three men came to their camp while they were at breakfast laughed and talked with tine older men who had charge of the herds for some time, apparently in the best of h4mor, and with no com plaint of trespass. The herders then began to scatter, some to look after the sheep, others the burros. They had left the camp only q short time, when they heard seye- ral shots, and on returning found that three Mexicans had been kill ed; one of them had fallen in the fire, and the other two were lying close to it. The boy says there were  two or three other hcrders missing when he left. Sheriff Creaghe and Mr. Montana left on Tuesday morn ing early, for the scene of the kill ing. We sincerely hope they may be able to capture thc parties and bring them to justice, as, from the account given by the boy, it was a cold-blooded, dastardly murder, and the perpetrators should be made to suffer the extreme penalty of the law.

On Wednesday night or rather Tuesday morning, about ? o'clock, a man knocked at the door of a woman llying just above PasQuale Nigro's saloon, on Allen street, and was admitted. On crossing the threshold he assaulted the woman knocked her down, and after con vincing himself that she was pos trated he left the house. The fol- lowing night woman, named J9- sefa, was aroused from her slumbers by knock at the door. She en- quired who was there and was an swered back that the door must be opened or it would be broken down. The woman becoming fright ened opened the door, and a man entered, who, with a blow of his first knocked the woman down and stood over her. For a moment she was stunned, but recovering her senses arose to her feet just as the the fiend started to go,she started af- ter him, when he turned and struck her with a knife just on the bridge of her nose. glancing off and cutting her through the nose, and under the eye, making an ugly wound. The man turned away and the woman
 ran irto Nigro's saloon bleeding pr. Fetterman was called and sewed up the wound. From the description, the same man commit tcG the assault the night previous,

To the Public.

While absent from the county during and since the political campaign just passed, tic Apache Review, by iniima- ton and direct statement, charged me with being participant in what is gen erally known as the Mountain Meadow Massacre," and that l pursued my Gel- low-men to the Pacific Ocean to murder them.
 A majority of the voters of Apache county, without solicitation from me, at the county election, honofed me by se- leciing me for the responsible position of Supervisor of this county.
 Ii the charges of the Apache Review, above referred to, are true. majority of the people of this county have been grossly deceived, and l am utterly un= worthy of the confidence evidenced by this endorsement.
 now say to the public, that all of the Reviews charges are entirely and absC- lutely untrue. My self-respect, the good name of my family, and the duty owe to my political friends and the public at large, make it necessary that should demand gt the hands of the Review, either public retraction of those charges against my personal character, or the proofs of their correctness.
 1 will wait patiently for thirty days for the one or the other. Should the Re- view see fit to furnish neither within that time, l have an abiding faith that the public will be satisfied that all oi said charges, besides being untrue, were libellous and malicious.

TIE following truthful remarks are taken from the Tombstone Epi- taph: "This is an age of rush. Everybody rushes, The inhabi- tants Of Arizona rushed to tine Ter ritory in the days of its earlier ex- istence and have been rushing ever since. Those who have rushed the hardest are to-day the poorest, while those who have whitfield a stick on the street corner, waiting for something to turn up, have lived well, slept on good bed and have nothing to worry about, while the busy, rushing, restless body is al- ways in hot water and never satisr fled with his lot"

Judicial SolemRity Disturbed.

The overpowering awe and solem- nifty of the Supreme Court, Of the United States is so proverbial, t4,Qt 1t is about the last place in the
 world to which any person ill his
 right senses would resort in search
 of frivolity and glec. And yet, one
 day last week, that portion of the Capital Building at Washington in
 which the grave and reverend seig- nors of the law have their sacred
 shrine rang with such pcals of in- fectious laughter, that Senator Ed
 munds, who happened to pass that
 way, was struck dumb with wonder
 and superstitious fear. It appeared
 that tile case of Anderson vs. Miller
 & Co. was on, and eX-Congressman John D. Wise, of Virginia, was ad- dressing the court in behalf of the appellants. The question involved
 vas the validity of patent upon
 a certain. patch fnr IHcn's drawers, designed to reinforce this indispen- sable garment at the point where a catastrophe is most to be dreaded. Mr. Wise is a brilliant young law yer, subject to an occasional bub- bling of animal spirits; he is also possessed of countenapce which rivals in grave mobility. that of the eminent NJ. Coquelin. An able bodied pair of drawers having been introduced into the courtroom, be
 utilized them as "property" with as telling effect-in an opposite di- rection-as Marc Antony did the mantle of Cesar. Mir. Wise quoted high authority to show that the patch in question, which the plain tiH7s counsel had claimed would "make one pair of drawers as good as two pairs" Was totally against the laws of nature, inasmuch as the patent proposed to patch drawers before they were torn. From i'm memorial, he declared with fine burst of eloquence, 1t had been the proud prerogatiye ofwives, mothers and sisters to patch the drawers os their own husbands, sons and broth CTS, and yet this patent struck bold ly at one of the sacred privileges of the domestic hearth. Referring to the claim that one pair was as good as two pairs, he argued upon the well-known principle of the game of "draw," that "one pair" could not possibly be as good as "two pairs" In another game, splits" were always in favor of tie deoler but ia the remarkable case here presented, the reverse was true, and the splits" were against the deal CT. The sapient justices were not slow to seize these a1iusions to the games of draw poker and faro; and their gravity, which had long been totteripg upon it's throne, was at this point fairly carried by storm. The spectacle of the learned coun- sel frantically waving the pair draw CTS, while the white-haired justices roared with laughter to the verge of apoplexy, was certainly a rare one in the annals of the Supreme Bench. It cannot be doubted, however, that whatever may have been lost in dignity was more than made good by the gain in human
