 This camp from the following show ing, per shipment for this year, 1889, from here modestly asks if it not en- titled to be dubbed as producer with out a peer in the territory. To-wit : Arizona copper company, copper bull lion, 7,253 ,S55 pounds. The Detroit copper company 5,04l.S20 pounds; copper ores shipped 523,45O pounds. Silver and gold ores 50,940 pounds. From this showing is it any wonder that foreign capital has fastened itself so permanently? American capitalist it would seem from this have not the brain to direct nor the grit to inspire it to healthy and safe investment. The mineral lands hereabouts are slowly, surely and cheaply being brought up by the shrewd far-seeing Scotchman. The American, an in- telligent prospector, after failing to induce his own kind who have capital, to take hold has been forced to yield to the inevitable and sell his discov- cry and labor for mere mess of beans Copper can be safely quoted on an average for the year 1889 at 10 cts per pound. Atthat market price the bull lion alone shipped from here, would yield $1 ,229 ,567 50. It is also safe tc say that $40,000 per month, in con nection with the store order system that prevails, would cover every item of expense if that amount did not do i is a sure thing;that $50, ,000 would; anC would leave the profit of $629, SIT 5t for the copper production alone. The figures as given above are correct anC it does seem with our boasted idl, capital few, at least, American would see the point.

Majesty of the Law.

A story of"a way they have in the west" comes from the Colorado river and California, that well illustrates the way the guilty often escape and the innocent are punished. Some months ago, missing nine head of stock from his ranch on the Colorado river, Mir. Noriega, in company with George Macfee and five others, followed their trail to the place of Gus Knight, about sIIS miles westwards in San Diego e6anty There, to their surprise, in- Stead of nine, they found twenty-six head, on each of which, Mir. Noriega states, the brands had been changed and the ears cut off. The patty re- quested Air. Knight to go with them to the nearest Justice, but that gentle man declining, Messrs. Noriega and friends arrested and took him before the Justice of the Peace it Banning. There they met a Ir. Smith who it seems was personal friend of Knight. Mir. Smith immediately swore out 8 warrant against Messrs. Nciega and friends for falsely impersonating an officer They were arrested, kept in jail for nine days, and afterwards re- leased on bail At the trial the jury rendered verdict finding Noriega and Maciee guilty, imposed payment ol damages i'll $50 each, and dismissed the others. The two former immedi- ately appealed the case to the SU' preme Court of the State of California where it is still pending, and they are now suing Knight for $l125, the value of the 26 head of cattle and expenses incurred in tracing and following them.-Yuma Times.

4 Great Undertaking.

Messrs. Fuller, Bates and the gen tlemen connected with them i'll the gold extracting enterprises at Weaver, in our county, have given our reporter a few facts that are worthy of note. They are in possession of three thous- and two hundred acres of rich placer ground at the base of Antelope Peak and Rich Hill. The quantities of gold found on the extreme top of this peak are supposed to have been deposited there during the glacial period and when Arizona was an arctic sea. This IS the opinion of an expert student of geology and of the period named.
 The gentlemen connected with the enterprise named propose to put in a dam some five miles above the lower dam of the Walnut Grove Water Storage Co.'S lower work and hold water enough to run a turbine wheel of power equal to two hundred horse power This power will be transmit ted over wire, by dynamo, to the Weaver placers, some seven miles, and used in the extraction of gold by cleo tricity.
 There is no reasonable doubt but this method will prove a success, as 1t has been amply proven. Our re- porter is informed that eighty inches of water, only, are necessary to run the proposed plant which is now be- ing constructed east and the entire enterprise will start as soon as freight contracts can be made; more labor and money will be expended during the coming twelve months in the neighborhood of the lower Walnut Grove dam and at and continguous to the Weaver placers than.in any other portion of Arizona.
 Skill and money for this enterprise have been obtained and powerful capital combination made to insure success. It depends somewhat on oul merchants whether our town or Phe nix secures the valuable trade in sup
 plies that are to be used during tht
 construction of the plant.-Prescot
