SILVER BELL MINES.
The Purchase Completed and Develop
 ment of the Mines Begin.
Tucson Star

The long protracted Silver Bell deal Is at last closed, and yesterday all parties in interest received their pay. It is due greatly to the indefatigable- efforts of H. D. Underwood and J. K. Gooding that this sale has been so successfully com pleted. Mir R. St. J. Cleary, lately of Leadville, has been employed as a su- perintendent of the property, and he left for the mines yesterday with a force of ten miners to start up work MT Cleary is practical miner and will push work vigorously on the mines, and from time to time increase the force as developments permit. MT. c. s. Morton, the general manager of the Silver Bell Mining and Smelling company, limited, of London, England, is absent for few days in the City of Mexico. He is expected back to Tucson within week or ten days and will be permanent resident of our town, Pima county is to be much congratu- lated upon the successful ending of this trade, as it will surely be fore runner of prosperous times among our miners The English company which has bought this property Is composed of very strong capitalists, and we congratulate them on their handsome purchase, and we also congratulate our people in having them amongst Us. MT Underwood bought about five thousand dollars worth of sup plies from the different merchants of the city which were shipped to the Silver Bell mines by H. H. Igo's freight teams yesterday.

Richmond Basin Mines.
Globe Silver Belt

Joe Henry was down from Richmond Basin, on Tuesday, looking for pack ami mals to pack ore to Globe, for shipment to Pueblo. He and partners. Paul J. Johnson and Wm. Gill, lessees of the Mack Morris, are doing we'll. They have three tons of high grade ore ready for shipment, and an excellent showing in the mine. They have subleased a DOT ton of the Mack Morris and La Plata ground, known as the Grub Stake. to Messrs. Deem, Cobbledick, Martin and Williams, late of Tombstone, and, already, they have good showing of ore. John Heuck and Henry Bopp have also sub leased part of the Mack Morris. Moyle and Vietta have ore ready to ship from their claim, the Harrison < Morton. Joe Brewster has ore from the Southern Star ready for shipment. Messrs. Davis and Reed have taken lease on the North Star claim, owned by Wm. Williams and Joseph Kinsman.
 There are now B men at the Basin and all are doing we'll All the ore shipped from there assays 800 ounces, and up wards, ill silver, although at the present price of silver. 100-ounce ore can be ship ped with profit. and there is considerable of that class of rock in and around the Basin.
 The road to the Basin was so badly washed out by recent rains that 1t is i'm passable to wagons, and until repaired supplies and ore must be packed. but nc pack animals are to be lad, for love or money, and the situation is annoying, to say the least. We understand the corral owners of Globe have agreed to contrib ute $50 toward repairing the road, and miners at the Basin will give their labor The outlook is favorable for largely in creased output by the Richmond Basin mines this year.

AIv0rd Aitken's Death.
Prescott Journal-Miner.

Death Is no respecter of persons, The old young, the rich, the poor, all classes and conditions alike have to obey his memorable summons, But few days since the Journal Miner recorded the sud den death of one of our citizens, the sud denness of whose death shocked the com munity. At II o'clock in the morning he was walking the streets, and at 10 o'clock the same night he lay cold and stiff in the embrace of death.
 To-day at one o'clock the spirit of one the nOblest, purest and best of men took its flight from its physical environments, and what four days ago was the physical embodiment of the nohlest type of man. hood. with heart full of love, with as- pirations and ambitions of the loftiest and purest kind, is now acoid and lifeless corpse Few if any men ip the community were better liked than Alyord Aitken. He was man above Teproach ln al his deal ings with his fellow man. Temperate and industrious in his habits, and withal pos sessed of that indescribable influence which attracts and commands respect, and of whom it could be truly said, ito know him was to love him."
 ! Four days ago on Friday afternoon, he complained of feeling ill. The day follow l luSs Ilc WoS 1DlC tO OC up town for awhile, but went home in the morning and took to his bed, which he never again left alive, his death occurr- ing at one o'clock this (Tuesday after noon.

Aitken, who were de voted to him, with other watchers, re- mained with him during the night. Early this morning Dr. Pope, surgeon U. s. A. stationed at Whipple, was called in con sultation, but he at once pronounced his condition beyond all human aid. He re mained conscious almost until the last breath of life left his body.

The hopes of this valley are brighten ing up considerably. The Powell Act has been squelched and reasonable provisions for the entry of desert lands continued In view of this fact two immense irrigat- ing projects will at once be pushed for
 wald in this county. They have been preparing for work, and under Attorney General Miller's opinion and the in structions of the Secretary of the Interior on that opinion, they have been obliged to cease all preparations for the work of their projects for many months. Now that the scheming trickery of Powell has been set aside and the arid regions of the west given chance for development these projects are prepared to go ahead and before another month the valley will be full of life and energy from these two vast canal projects, so essential to further the settlement of this region of country.

The YaER-SupSis.
San Francisco Chronicle, Aug. so

J. R. Dillon, of Prescott, A. T., in long communication to the Chronicle, re- flutes some of the statements made by Colonel W. H. Holabird regarding the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and the clusion in Cataract Canyon" The con- munication goes on to state that the Yava-Supai tribe of Indians is a part of the Hualapai race, from which they separated before the advent of the whites. taking up their abode in the Cataract canyon and the vast region beyond known as Coconino Forest. The tribe have sev- eral hundred acres of land under cultiva tion, the produce of which 1t consumes and barters in exchange with other In dian tribes.
 They are peaceful people and are self-supporting and require no aid or assistance from the Government. Nearly all of the Supai tribe speak English iltelligibly. The total number of the tribe is about 250
 MT. Dillon writes that the claim made by Colonel Holabird that he was the "secOnd white man who ever visited that region" is a mistake. Since the settlement of the Territory probably 800 people have been in that section at various times and are thoroughly &C., quainted with it. The Indian farms are situated in the wide portion of the Cata- ract canyon, at which point the surround ing mountainous walls are, 2000 feet high, and not 4,O00 as claimed by Colonel Hol- abird. In the deeper recesses of the can you are immense deposits of lead ores, which have been worked for the past ten years. The relations of the Indians with the white miners have always been, and are, amicahle. The scenery of that seo tiol, Mr. Dillon states, is not exagger- ated by Colonel Holahird; in fact he barely commenced describing the won der of this grand region, which is un- equaled in its natural wonders.

Orange Groves.
Yuma Times.

While in Phenix a number of repre- sentatives from outside counties were invited to the Arizona canal, eight miles from the city. At this point the Arizona Improvement Company has planted four teen acres in oranges trees which are now five years old. The orchard is beginning to bear, each tree having from one to four or five oranges. The thrifty appearance of the trees amply demonstrates that Maricopa county's orange groves are not so much of myth as is generally be- heved. In addition to the orchard men tioned the company have laid out ten to twelve acres in ornamental grounds with the intention in the near future of erect ing large and handsome hotel and thus bringing the place into prominence as a desirable summer resort. We are happy to welcome Maricopa county into the ranks of orange growing sections where in our fair county of Yuma has ever held the place of honor

Arizona Fruit.
Phepix Herald.

Phenix fruit will sooner or later force it's own way in the east, Judicious or ganization and advertisement might has ten the result, but it must come finally by sheer inertia A Phoenician gentle men just returned from Boston, states that merchant there showed him, in a secluded room, as very remarkable treasure, four pounds of Muscat grapes which the merchant by shrewd manage ment, had succeeded in capturing at the ridicuously low rates, as he supposed, of 75 cents per pound. With tons of such fruit in Salt River valley, selling as low some of it, as two cents a pound, way ought to be devised for bringing the home grower and the eastern purchaser together on basis that would prove profitable to both parties.

The recent events in the history of the New York central strike brought his name into prominence, as failure or continuance of the strike depended up- on the Brotherhood.
