Possible Gold Find
Phenix Herald.

Yesterday J. Teeters and George Davis, who discovered and sold the Harqua Hala bonanza, purchased team and started for the scene of reported big gold discovery Mexican came in with specimens, the nature of which le did not understand. An assay showed the ore to carry over S60 per ton in free gold.
 According to the Ne ;ican's story a ledge 100 feet wide cropped above the surface for over seven miles and consists of rock similar to the specimen exhibited by him.
 The locality Is said to lie somewhere within fifty or sixty miles miles east Of Yuma. It lies north of the Mohawk canal and northwest of Texas Hill, and not a great distance south easterly of of Ehrenberg. Rich placer mines have long been known to exist in the district thus roughly outlined. The great ob- stacle to development thus far has been the lack of water. Still diggings worked just after heavy rains has paid as high as an ounce of gold to the man, for every | day worked.
 l It Is possible that the Mexican has stumbled upon the mother lode which has for ages supplied these widely ex- tended placer fields. If so the lack ol water will be supplied Given pay rock enough, and there is no locality in Arizona that cannot be worked, be the Instructions what they may

stranger passng through Arizona to-day would look in vain for the locality of desert" There is hardly a spot to be found that is not covered with a rank growth of grass and weeds The entire Territory Is green with growing vegeta- tion, which has sprung up since the rain began about the middle of July. It looks vely much like spring time in the states after the warm sun has brought out the May-apple and the dogwood blossom. These rainy seasons demonstrate what wonderful growths may be expected from our soil when 1t is properly watered Not only the valley lands are adapted to agriculture, but the mesa lands too may be redeemed, and no doubt will be at some future time, by system of water storage Indeed Arizona Is now thing of beauty; the cattle are fat; good grass Is assured until the winter rains and the farmers are preparing to harvest their second grain crop this year and 1t will be an abundant one. Where water is to be had will, on an average, produce four times as much wheat, barley corn, hay, beans, pumpkins and melons, etc., as can be raised is Missouri, Illinois and Kansas. the standard agricultural states of the nation; there in those states crops are al ways subject drouths which freauently result in total crop failure. No such calanities are to be dreaded by the farm CTS of Arizona; their crops are always cer- tain, and when they SOW seed they know almost to a bushel what the harvest will be. Arizona will become the garden spot of the world. The conditions exist here 1 to make it Such

Wasit the Aid?

On Thursday night, as before detailed. a drunken Apache Indian mounted on a fine horse and armed with pistol and two big knives, attempted to ride his horse into the freight office of the $. P. Go. R. Lowerie, the night clerk, objected. The Apache dismounted and made for Lowerie Bob Stickney, who was near by, jumped the Apache, who in turn made for him with big butcher knife raised. Stickney caught him by the wrist and threw him on his head. The Apache got up mount ed his horse and skipped as fast as his charger could carry him, and he was sup posed to be one of the Apache scouts from Lowell. Rut this appears to have been a mistake. IL appears that some scouts whc have bsen on Apache Kids trail for some time, followed his trail right into Tucson arriving here Friday, and from the des cription given of the Apache who at tempted to raid the depot, it is quite cer tain 1t was the Apache Kid, for whose capture there is Sl500 reward All of hts associates have been killed or captured It would have an easy catch had any ot the officers been in the vicinity at the time of Kids exploits.

Territorial Fair.
PheniX Herald.


 In the rush of political matters our coming territorial fair must not be forgot ten. It Is the only institution in Arizo- na that strives to promote the interests of all our varied industries; that seeks to bring the products of Arizona together in a grand display. that the producers may be stimulated to friendly emulation, that the outside world may know that Arizona is abreast of the times and that the homeseeker and capitalist may read fly form an opinion of the untold rich ness of a country that invites his citizen ship or hIs investment, or both. The ter ritorial fair is worth to Arizona thousands of dollars to where it costs one in the sim pie fact that a knowledge of its existence goes abroad and proclaims to our friends and enemies, in the east and in the west, that we are not entirely devoid of public interest in the development of the coun- try; that we have a product worthy of public notice and public display in all our industrial departments No finer eX- amples of horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, pOul- try, etc, are to be found on the continent than We have right here in the territory. No mining region of the world can pro ] dHce such display of rich and varied mineral wealth. No state or territory i'll ! the union can produce or does produce a display of finer fruits, or fruits of greater variety. Our stock interests, our mines, our agriculture and horticulture are sec ond in importance, so far as their develop ment has gone, to those interests in no other part of the continent; their products are attractive and worthy of comparison of display with the world at large. The dis plays of preserved products, such as min erals, fruits, domestic and other manu- factures of the territory, which will be at the territorial fair this and the next year should be secured for display at the com ing Worlds Fair at Chicago, in 1892. Ari- ZOna should make a characteristic and notable showing of her civilized resources as well as of her natural, historic and ab- original wealth at Chicago, and to do that one very direct course to pursue is to col lect that display through our territorial fair association, To that end the peo- pie of the territory will be more than or dinarily interested in furnishing supplies forogr territorial fair display, not to speak of the growing interest that each year discloses and which goes to make the ter. ritorial fair one of the institutions of the southwest

Invoices for Mexico.
NOpales Herald

There is frequently trouble over goods shipped into Mexico and complaint of the imposition of heavy fines on account of neglect to make out proper consular invoices. The following rules, therefore, may prove useful to those engaged in the exportation of articles:
 All merchandise shipped to Mexico, whether by rail or by steamship, should invariably be accompanied by consular invoice. This is document stating the name of the consignee; the port of destina- ton or the land custom house by which the goods are to enter; the shipping marks and numbers of the packages; how many of them; their form, as boxes, barrels, etc; the gross or net weight of each package, according as the duty is assessed on the gross or the net; the class of the merchan- disc whether shoes or drugs or carpenters tools, for example; their place of manu- facture, and their market value. This last Is for purposes of statistics, and what Is wanted Is the fair actual market value of each class of goods.
 All duties are assessed by weight, therefore this must be given with the 1 greatest care, and stated both in letters and figares. Itis of the utmost importance that the class of goods be correctly stated; mere
 
 sons in that branch of trade can under stand, must be studiously avoided, and things must be described just as they are, as for example, soda-fountain Is a manufacture of white marble with metal adornments, nickel-p plated" and "a ten gallon fount'' Is vessel of copper, zine lined.
 These invoices must be made out ill quadruplicate, signed by the shipper and certified by 9 Me1San consul. One copy will be retained by the consul wh.1iil - shipper should at once send to his eon- signee in Mexico.
 The three rules to be observed by mer- chant intending to ship goods to Mexico are: First, consult with the nearest Mex ican consul, and obtain from him the nec- essary instructions and blank invoices; second, be very careful to state the exact weights; and, third, be equally careful to describe the goods as they are, and not merely as they are called in the shop or factory. After shipper has once made out an invoice, he is surprised to find that contrary to his expectations there is nc difficulty about it at all. What is neces- sary is attention and intelligence

The Future of Mohave. Mol ax.a Afi,,ar

At some future time when the agricul- tural resources of Mohave county attract the attention of capitalists: when the Colorado river is damned, and the won derfully fertile valley of that stream is brought under cultivation, and water turned into the Sacramento and Wallapai valleys; then will be seen a diversity of crops not found elsewhere. On the Colo rado pineapples and bananas, together with sugar cane and all the productions of torrid climate ought to grow. The thermometer rises to l30 in the shade sometime, while in the other valleys all fruits and grains of the temperate zone will grow to perfection. All that is want ed is capital to make the first county in the Territory.

Aiurat's Mistake.
Phenix Herald.

Murat Halstead. in his wise monthly review of the world for Brisbin Walkers popular Cosmopolitan Magazine, remarks with seemingly infalhbllity that Arizona will not be admitted into the Unon for some time because she Is ''so bar renp
 Since the ex-Cincinnati editor moved to Brooklyn he appears to have com pressed his white and gray brain tissues into the cramum formerly occupied by EX-President Cleveland while trying to rule the United States on a theory that everything outside of Wall street and Buffalo was d wilderness that should be consigned to innocuous desuetude.
 Mlr Halstead don't care, probably, to know that Arizona is shipping grain to Europe, via Porta Costa; that her fruit went east this year; while her raiSins and figs are the earliest in the market of any that the whole United States produc- es. Her beef supplies an immense mar ket. Her mines, forests and coal fields are inexhaustible. She has within her | borders the means of supplying every thing that civilization requires.
 On the l7th of July last Senator Rea- gan made a speech aud alluded to Ari- zona Unlike Editor Halstead, he kept his mouth shut till his mind had gather ed some facts concerning the subject he proposed 10 talk about. After his visit here, as a member of the Senate lrriga- tion Committee, he ventured to address his brother senators as follows:
 We passed over the Gila and Salt river valleys, in Arizona, where there are millions of acres of land which, with va ter applied, would be as rich as a crow ever ieN over, OF In s..!1 esy5E, st.os.F ssn to the beautiful city of Phenix, the Capi- tai of Arizona; and there we found ill the midst of that great desert-for we have travelled about l00 miles on 1t, and per haps more than that. from F't Yuma be fore We reached it-in the midst of that great desert; was a country about fifteen miles wide and twenty miles long a real oasis in the desert. with green trees and fruitsin abundance of the finest quality vegetables of the finest quality, wheat oats, and alfalfa for hay, and all the evidence of thrift and energy and activity and civilization.
 Editor Halstead may decide to keer Arizona ont of the Union. We cannot control his omnipotence in that respect But regarding his apparently assumed omniscience We must be permitted to an nounce a big crack in it when the veteran 1 journalist declares Arizona to be barren l We prefer to believe Senator Reagan who { has seen the territory, rather than lister i to Mir.

4 Wallapai Mummy.
Sentinel.

On Friday evening last the remains of Flap-Jack, a deceased Wallapai Indian, who was buried in the Fort Yuma grave yard, two years ago, were disinterred. Upon examination it was found that the departed brave had undergone mummify- ing process, and that his flesh and skin had the appearance of having been tan ned and dried. His eyes were open and appeared as natural as though the Indian still lived. The good Indian" presented a most remarkable sight. The leather like covering of his face, the staring eyes and blue black hair carefully combed served to intensity the gloomy surround ings of the dead Wallapai. The clothes
 that he wore remained as the day the body was buried and his white neck-tie was still spotless and in place. It is very likely that the corpse will be sent to Washington. Flap-Jack, the deceased brave, was a sub-Chief of the Wallapai tribe, and at the time of his death was thirty years of age and employed as mes
 senger at the Fort Yuma Indian school.

rs blood disease. Until the poison Is

TO CULTIVATE EXPORTS.
A Bill Providing for the Inspection of Ex-
port Meats.

port Meats.
WASHINGTON, April 8-Representative
Funston, from the Committee on AgricuI-
ture, to-day reported to the House the Senate
bill providing for the inspection of meats
for expectation and prohibiting the importa-
ton of adulterated articles of food and
drink, etc. An amendment to the bill
makes it include drugs within the provision
prohibiting the importation of articles of
adulterated food or drink. An accompany
ing report says that a number of foreign
governments, notably France and Germany,
have imposed restrictions which prevent the
importation into those countries of our pork
products upon the allegation that they con-
tain trichina.
While we do not believe, says the report,
that such allegations have any foundation
in fact, and while we can say we have no
knowledge, either directly or indirectly, of
the existence of trichina in the pork prod
ucts of this country, nevertheless we find
that product resting under the ban of con-
demnation. We therelore believe it to be
our duty to use every means in our power to
relieve it of such condemnation, which,
when done, will add at least $50, ,OOO, 900
worth of meats to the exports OF this
country.
The report says that the latter clause of
section 10, relating to the inspection of ami
mails when intended for expectation, is per-
haps of as great importance as the inspec-
tion OF the hog products, as England,
through fear, either feigned or real, of In
fection or contagion, compels us to slaughter
our cattle immediately upon landing at
her ports, allowing no time to recover
from shrinkage or bruises OF the sea voyage,
and thus shutting our stock cattle out of
her markets absolutely. 1t is estimated
that our cattle in the English markets
would bring at least $40 more per head if all
restrictions were removed, which we can in
sist upon only when we have home inspec-
ton.
The bill under considerations, says the re-
port, will give to the United States the
power to deal with other nations as thew
deal with the United States.
