 Terrible Deaths.

A little over month ago the Citi- zen gave an account of mad coyote running through Laguna and sur rounding country and attacking every thing 1t chanced to meet. It ran through inc cattle camp of Bud Ed dleman, near Fl Rito, while the men were asleep and bit four men, One of the men died in seventeen days after being bitten, another in twenty one days, and the third died last night, exactly thirty-four days after being attacked. Drs. Raster and Pearce, of thls city, went out yesterday to at tend the men, but they could render no assistance. The coyote bit him several times In the hand, and the wounds had healed up nicely. Three days ago he was taken sick, commence ed frothing at the mouth and at the sight of water he would go into terri ble convulsions, taking the combined strength of half dozen men to hold him. Blood and foam would run from his mouth in constant stream for hours, and late last night just before the doctors left for the city he went into 6 convulsiop from which he died. The man was Mexican and resided in the neighborhood. The fourth man, who was bitten at the same time, is sick and it is feared that he will also die from hydrophobia.- Albuquerque Citizen.

ARID LANDS.
The Public Domain Withdrawn From Entry---Sweeping Ruling by the
 Attorney-General.

A Washington Associated Press dispatch of June 4th says: The Sec retary of the Interior to-day trans mitted to the Senate an opinion by the AttOrney-General construing the act of October ?, 1888, which appro- priated the sum of $100,O0O for in vestigations as to the extent which the arid region may be recovered by irrigation. The opinion is transmitted Tn response to 8 resolution by the Senate inquiring particularly as to the views of the Interior Department concerning the scope and effect of the following section of the act October of2
 "All lands which may hereafter be designated or selected by such United States surveys for site, for reservoirs, ditches or canals for irrigating pur- poses, and all lands made susceptible of irrigation by such reservoirs, ditches or canals, are from this time reserved from sale as the property of the United States, and shall not be sub- lect after passage of this act, to en- try, settlement or occupation until further provided by law"
 The Attorney-General stated his conclusions as follows:
 "The object of the act is manifest. It was to prevent entry upon and settlement and sale of all that part of the arid region of public lands of the United States which could be improv- ed by a general system of irrigation and all lands which might thereafter be designated or selected by the, United States surveys as sites for res voirs, ditches or canals for such sys- tems. It was plain purpose of Con- gress by this act to suspend all rights of entry any land which would come within the improving operation of the plans of irrigation to be reported by the Director of the Geological Survey under this act. Language could hard ly be stronger than the words of the act in expressing this intention. En- tries should not be permitted, there fore, upon any part of the arid regions which might possibly come within the operations of this act"
 The general effect of this opinion, if the law is not modified, will be to reserve from settlement and entry practically the whole of the great arid region of the West. The Secretary in his letter, suggests that if Congress does not fully concur in the purposes of the law it should take the business in hand at once and so modify the law as it may deem the public inter- ests raouire

Arizona.

Mining in Arizona shows at present more activity and promise than for many years past. Operations now going on in the different counties and camps are harbingers of better times ahead; more people, greater con sumption of home products, and bet ter markets for the same, follow in the wake of successful mining enter prises The number of mills, smelt- CTS, etc, now in operation in the ter ritory may be considered an index of the condition of such ventures. The number of gold mills now in operation seems to indicate that Arizona, as a field for gold quartz mining, is not un- important. Among those that are at work may be named the Congress, 20 stamps; the Phenix, 20 stamps (more stamps talked oD; the Mammoth, 30 stamps, 20 more going in; the Harqua Hala, 10 stamps; the Bent < Samp- son, 10 stamps, more talked of also number below Prescott that are run ming. Altogether there are some eight or ten gold mills in successful operation. Next in point of activity come our copper mines and smelters, the Copper Queen, Old Globe and Clifton copper mines are pretty well known among the new ones are the Lake Shore, near Casa Grande, the Silver Bell groupe, belowssReds Rock; the Buffalo, at Globe; the Burgess mines on the San Pedro the Douglas, Harshaw, etc. Silver mining appears to drag little, although the .Reymert is increasing it's capacity; the Vekol is blocking out ore for a long run; the Aravaipa Canyon Company is begin ming operations; more chloriding is probably done and more ore shipped, but for large enterprises, silver min ing has certainly fallen to the third rank in Arizona. Doubtless there are more stable companies starting and operated than for many years "Wild- cata." year or two ago, showed them selves on every hand, but their places have now been taken by solid opera tors, and let us hope that the revival will be followed only by legitimate in- vestments. = Correspondence Engin- eerinp Journal

Virgin River Salt.

The salt mountains located on the banks of the Rio Virgin, an affluent of the Colorado river Tn Lincoln coun- ty, Nevada. covers an area of 9 miles, extending to within seven miles of the junction of that stream with the Colorado, The salt they contain is pure and white and clearer than glass, and it is said that piece seven or eight inches thick Is sometimes clear enough to see through to read newspaper Over the salt is lay CT of sandstone from two to eight feet thick, and when this is torn away the salt appears like a huge snowdrift. How deep it Is has not yet been as- certained, but single blast of giant powder will blow out tons of 1t. The Colorado river steamers carry large quantities of it to Fl Dorado Canyon, where it is used in the quartz mills. A prosperous business could be start ed in Yuma, by having Virgin river salt shipped just as it is taken from the deposit, crushing it here and pre- pairing 1t for shipment. 1t Is true that the salt manufactured at Salton on the California desert is produced in large quantities, and at small cost, but the fact is also well known that the Virgin river salt is the purest native salt found in the universe, whilst the California articles contains many impurities.
 The cost of mining the salt would be trif1ing and the freight charges by steamer very low to Yuma. The crude product could be worked up" here with a small expense and the advantages of Yuma as a general shipping or distributing point for the product, are simply unequaled. The .Southern Pacific railroad would carry to the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and if freight rates became unreasonably high, which is not at all likely, then shipments could be made down the Colorado river to the Gulf of Califor- mia from whence it could be transport ed by vessels wherever the demands of trade required.
 An enterprise of this character re- quires but little capital, and is sure tc repay the investor a thousandfold It is only question or short time when this business will be taken hold of, thus adding one more factor te Yuma's progress and future pros perity.-Yuma Sentinel.

"The Republicans note book con tains full account of the doings of Slippery Drake"
 The above is from the new paper recently started ill Phenix for the pur- pose of pumping responsibility into Arizona journalism and harmony into the Republican party of Arizona. It begins the work by slandering of the best men in Arizona, and a recognized leader in the G. O. F. Mir. Drake is known all over Arizona; he has been with our people more than twenty years he has served them often ill positions of trust and honor, all of which have been discharged with hon. esty and fidelity. Aside from his political career he has ever been a true friends to the best interests of Arizona and Arizonans. His greatest sin, as far as known, was holding the Fifteenth legislature in session over the sixty day limit, for the purpose of confirming Republican appointees for Governor Wolfey. The old residents of Arizona know of no reason why "Slippery Drake" should be applied to him.-Valley Bulletin.
