The San Pedro Martin Pine Region.
Yuma Sentinel.

Yuma Sentinel
 Two hundred miles south of Yuma lies the great pine region of San Pedro Martin The mountain on which the pine is sit uated, reaches height of 15,00O feet, as measured by T. s. Van Dyke, the ready writer of San Diego, and also by Col. D. K. Allen. The mountain on top Is about 90 miles in length by 15 to 30 wide. It is estimated that it contains no less than 100000, acre of land, all of which is thickly covered with the richest and best of grasses and one half of which Is cover ed with great growth of pine timber Red Cedar trees have been found which measure 25 feet in circumference two feet above the ground One pine tree lying on the ground measured 210 feet ill length, 25 feet in circumference feet from the butt, 161s feet in circumference 100 feet from the butt, and 50 feet to the first limb. It Is estimated that there are 13,500,0O0 trees which will yield 215 logs to the tree, each log, F feet in length and 215 feet in diameter. The Peninsular R R. will run within 30 miles of the north end of this great pine belt A. R. R. car be built into the very heart of the best portion of the pine. The rain fall aver ages 30 inches in summer and the snow falls from to 10 feet deep in winter. ST Don Jose M. Espinosa kept 10000 head of cattle on the mountain for 25 years His loss was less than per cent The mountain rains in summer and snows il winter supply all of the streams running tC the Pacific with water hence the permau ence of those streams.

Clifton Items.
Corr. Lordsburg Liberal

It will be noticed upon reading letter in the Republican of recent date headed "A Look at Clifton" that there is noth- ing to be learned from 1t by an outsider except that Clifton Is kind of sub of flee of the headquarters of the Arizona Copper Company, of Edinburg, Scotland. That Morenci Is only kind of out laying prospect camp. No mention Is made of the Copper King company's plant which will from now on swell the annual output of bullion close unto 100000 pounds of copper per year. Clifton is not produc- CT of copper It IS a distributing point for the surrounding camps and the ter minus of the Arizona < New Mexico rail road. No comparison should be enter tained between 1t and other local bullion producers of this or any other territory. Figures speak for themselves, the writer has already reported for 1889 (January last) the amount of copper bullion shipped from here. which was about as follows Arizona company 7,500,000 fbs., Detroit company 5,250,000 pounds. It should be understood, however, that the writer is not questioning the belief of the Repub- hcan's correspondent, but he does know that ''E. $. G." did not conceive the area that Clifton covers. He was not here long enough. But the day is not distant when Clifton's importance will be known and her capabilities understood.
 George Heggie, who took Sig Wells place in the company store, and Tom Wiley are kept busy waiting on patrons. Tom says he can pound the head of a drill better than he can handle that flmy material called lace But the way he can fill an order for Arizona strawberries would make person believe he was an expert in that line
 The Coronado is going to be opened up again. It has been shut down about two years. What is known as the Coronado mine Is six full claims ,500x600 feet. mak- ing surface of 9,000x600 feet, and be yond doubt it is the largest ledge Il length and breadth in Arizona.

Good Railroad News.
Phenix Herald


 We were informed to-day from an aI- thentic source that the new road to Pres colt would almost certainly be begun at a very early day. The Journal-Miner of last Friday says:
 ''The latest railroad talk is to the effect that the road will be pushed southward as rapidly as possible to the southern boundary line, thereby tapping the great mineral belt of this county. Whether ii will be built across the great barren waste in Maricopa county will be determined later, and will depend largely on the ac- tion of that county With this in view il is stated that Engineer Barry will start out soon with corps of assistants for the purpose of locating the line.''
 The Yavapai people propose to push from their end, and we can guarantee equal if not greater, enterprise from the Phenix quarter. We desire to inform the Journal Miner, however, that there are no barren waists in Maricopa county Like all other crops in this prolific valley they produce often ten and sometimes | twenty fold.

California's last sensation is beginning to take hold of St. Louis. J. V. s. Barrett, the commission merchant of 122 and PA North Commercial Street. was one of the first to test Joys Vegetable Sarsaparflla in sick headaches. Its effect was such gratifying surprise that he went over to the postofhce and told his friend, Thos. P. Culkin, the superintendent of the registry division, who was also worried with headaches, about it. The following letter de- tails his friends experience also:-
 PosToFFICE, ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20, 1890. J.V. S. BARRETT, EsQ.:-
 DEAR SIR: You ask me, Did act on your ad- vice? I did, and glad to have to thank you for it. For years have suffered from indiges- tion and headaches. Taking your advice, pur- chased a bottle of Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla Before had finished the first bottle could eat almost anything with impunity, and have been since rarely troubled with headache of any kind for which I give due credit to your ad- vice and Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla.
 Yours, etc.,

TIE business, political and social circles of Phenix have been in constant state excitement during the past week in con sequence of the savage attack made by the Gazette upon the character and abili- ty of Dr. Toney of the Insane Asylum. It appears that these charges emanated from discharged employe, a woman, whose character, we very much regret to say, was publicly assailed by Dr. Toney in his reply thereto. The board of direc- tors of the asylum promptly investigated the charges and failed to find any just grounds for them, since which time they have been reiterated, with variations, and the next grand jury will likely be called upon to investigate the matter. To an impartial observer whose information Is based upon the several statements made it looks as though the whole attack was inspired by malice, pure and simple.
