The LOauRt.

The Loquat Photinia Japania or Fri obtrya Japanieal, half hardy every green tree, growing to the height of about twenty feet, and belonging to the rose family, Is cultivated in Florida and Cali fornia to a considerable extent. The white, fragrant blossoms are disposed in terminal corymbs below which spread the thick, leathery, lanceolate leaves. The subsequent fruit, growing in grape like clusters, Is OYoid in shape, as large as d medium sized plum, with thick skin of a dull pinkish color. The flavor varies in some instances, being too acid to be eaten with any degree of pleasure. but is more of ten subacid, or sweet agreeable and palata-
 hle. The blossoms appear chiefly during November and December, and the fruit ripens from February until May. Most of the stock used for planting here is the seeding, although some of the choicest stock has been bhdded on the Giant an imported variety. The tree has been cultivated for many years in the gardens of southern cities, but the seed from
 which most of the stock in Florida has multiplied came from St Augustine There are several varieties in shape, habit and flavor, and careful selection will undoubt- edly greatly improve the value of the fruit, especially if increased culture opens northern market The carrying capa- city of the fruit Is better than that of cherries and peaches, and its uses more varied. A few punches with their shin ing green leaves are very ornamental addition to dish of desert fruit. Besides ! being delicious eaten raw, they make jelly and sauce more piquant than cur
 rants and cranberries. and pies that re-
 cali and yanquish the memory of cherry, apple and peach combined. The chief drawbacks of their culture are depre- dations Of crows and nocking- birds.

Isefss-,,1 Aztec Civilization Underneath It was Used When the Montezuma Mine was " oriSed in Ages
 Rasf

An Albuquerque, N. M. disnltch De cember 20. says Before tha Spaniards set.foot on this continent tradition says that New Mexico's mines were worked with success by methods unknown to modern miner. Recently there have been foundin the Sandia mountains near this place two or three ancient furnaces. diff fering from any heretofore known, one of which Is to be opened by Govern ment commission on Monday next.
 This furnace was discovered by Mex ican digging post hole for E. M Wilson at his corral near the old Montezuma mine, which IS believed to be prehistoric. The furnace was entirely covered by de bris from the mountain. at the base of which 1t is located, and had been filled with ore preparatory to firing. It Is moi larger than an ordinary large-sized Mex l ican oven, yet it seems to have been sui 1 ficient to reduce aud refine large bodies 1 of ore better than the costly works of thi: generation.
 The ore here is refractory, yet thii ancient method separated it all, leaving the pure silver It is hoped that whel this furnace is opened clew to the an cient manner will be discovered. Sev eral of these old furnaces had heretoforI been discovered, but all had been firet and were footed by Mexicans before the, were seen by trustworthy scientiti men.
 MT. Wilson has a. bar of bullion Of re markable purity found near one ot thes fur naces, which will be forwarded wit the recent discovery to the Worlds Fai at Chicago, and afterward to the Smith sonian Institute for permanent pre- servation.

A Murder.
Prescott Courier.

Johnny Robinson arrived from the Peck yesterday morning bringing the sad news that Grant LeBarF had been shot in front of Jakey's saloon at 1210 a. m. The bullet passed through his body in slant ing direction, entering the abdomen and coming out near the small of the back, producing death in a short time. J. H. Stoops, who was in company with Le- Barr, is supposed to have done the shoot ing. It is more than likely that both were somewhat under the influence of liquor. LeBarr was native of Califor- mia, was about twenty eight years old and well known in this territory. His mother, Mrs. Thibodo, reisdes in Phenix: he also leaves a brother, John LeBarr, to mourn his untimely death. Deputy Sheriff Hic- key left for the Peck last evening Joe Campbell, who knows the history of the Peck district from it's first inception, says this Is the first murder ever committed there. In 1879 the dead mans father was stabbed to death in Phenix, and his murderer, together with the murderer of a man named Mopihan, who was shot dead from his wagon, were hanged the day after the murders, by vigilantes, from the cottonwood trees on the northwest corner of the Plaza, Phenix.

Indians as Soldiers.
Denver Republican.


 From time to time the suggestion has been made that one or two regiments of Indians should be enlisted in the regular army. It is probable that before q great while this suggestion will be favorably acted upon.
 There are several considerations which make the suggestion a good one. The most important of these grows out of the fact that the Indians, If subjected to prop CT drlll and discipline. would make very good cavalry for service Ill the Far West 1t would not be practicable to do much with them in the infantry service, for they could not be taught the manual of arms: and that degree of rigid discipline which IS essential in the infantry could not be enforced Tn their case But for rough frontier duty. where but little attention need be paid appearances, an Indian regiment of cavalry could do good work.
 i We may learn a lesson from the ex- i perlence of Mexico The army of Mexico Is composed almost entirely of Indians and ltsls well-known fact that the Mex lcan cavalry is capable of enduring a great deal of fatigue and of making long marches on short rations A Mexican regiment ls the best kind of material witt "uicIl tO uSnt Wlld Indians. The Indians of this country differ considerably from the civilized Indians of Mexico. They are wilder race, and more warlike. bnt in those tribes which have made consid erable progress in civilization the savage character of the man has been sufficiently subdued to admit of their employment in the cavalry service They would b. just as hardy as the Mexican Indian sol diers, and they could be employed in war and campaigns against those tribes t which they would not belong
 Another consideration in this connec ton is the fact that thousands Of Indian are living in idleness. They ar being supported by the Government and they are rendering no service in ey change for the support thus given then All who would be enlisted in the arm would be put to practical use, and instea, of being supported as idle paupers by tn Government, they would render servie which would pay for their kesping Tn man who discovers way by which In dians can be put to good use, makes . very important discovery. This distint ton belongs to him who first suggeste 7 the organization of an Indian cavalry ree iment

Here. Richness for Yol
Siluar HHl


 Jerom Burnett, whose knowledge of Indians, probably, has been gained from Cooper's novels, Helen Jackson's writ ings and other such literature, unbosoms himself in the Washington Star, on the great wrongs done the noble red man, from which we clip the following Whether the present menace of the h. dians is the result of being cheated and starved CT not, it can be shown that ninety nine times out of hundred when they have resorted to violence they have been str1ng to it by outrages that have few parallels in the history Of the world. Is 1t any wonder that there should be mas sacre of whites when white men have sur prised camp of Indian women and children, the men being off hunting, and after committing outrages that would make a cannibal shudder. have drawn their revolvers and 'plinked the babies crawling on the ground and the mothers who wildly tried to shield them. till a hundred were lying dead, as was the case near Tucson, Ariz, few years ago: Some of the greatest massacres by the Indians in recent years were preceded by occurrences similar to this. Can one marvel at their discomfort when they are ruthlessly driven from their homes, which, by ties and associations, are as dear to them as ours 10 us, driven like cattle and dying like eheep on the way, taken into reservations unhealthy and unsuited to them, to make way for the white paople. who want their land:

The Indian Way.
Phenix Republican.

Harry Carpenter was telling lne an h. dian story the other day that well illus trates one of the peculiarities of the Indian character Nearly all your readers will remember of the sentencing to Yuma about two months ago of the brave Apaches who murdered Ed.BaRer in the Sierra Ancha mountains last July. About two weeks ago three Apache bucks. with passes from the commanding officer at the reservation, arrived in Yuma. They made their way to the prison, and by signs made known to Captain Ingalls, that they wanted to talk An interpreter was secured, when it was learned they wanted to visit their imprisoned brethren. They were brought out and conference en- sued in Indian style. All seated them selves upon the ground. One would talk while, then all would be still Q long ! time, when presently another would talk In this way several hours were spent { Finally all arose and proceeded to Captain ! Ingalls, when they made known through | the interpreter that they wanted a fur tough for one of the prisoners to visit home so he could see his family and have hunt ing trip. All three of the visitors offered i themselves as hostages for his faithfu return. but the prison rules are lnexor i able and the Captain could not accep their terms. After another eonferenc, they sorrowfully left the place.
 There is no question but their pledge: would have been faithfully kept, and tha i after his hunting trip was over the prison
 CT was would have retuped to agair
 take up his cell and allow 'the hostage

Yuma Sentinel


 An eminent civil engineer passed through Yuma on Monday, to whom has been submitted the plan for putting in the largest electric plant in the world, at or near our town, for the purpose of furnishing power for pumping water out of the Colorado river, with which to irri gate the great area of valley lands which lie to the west and south of us, as well as the supply of power for any and for all of the manufacturing establishments that may be located on the banks of our Nile of the west, In q letter to one of our citizens he says: Your letters are at hand, contents noted, and ill reply will say, that the plan you suggest in regard to putting III an immense water wheel, resting on great floating docks, or barges, the same to be turned by swift current of the Colorado river is practicable and perfectly feasible, at either of the three points you name, Adjustable bearings, pillars sad supports can also be used, placed on piers of masonry and thus made stationary, but this would be more ex- pensive. With such waterwheel as you suggest, and with such plant as the Edison Electric Co proposes to put in, in the proposition submitted to me you can have all of the power you want. even if you line the Colorado with mannfactur- ing establishments from Yuma to the Gulf. Several years ago I carefully ex. amired the Colorado river from the Needles to Montague island. l know the points well to which you refer Your other plan of furnishing electric power tc run pumps, quartz mills and other ma chinery. which may be located back from i the river is good one and perfectly feas- l ible. In my opinion you have struck upon the most practicable plan of open ! ing up and developing the valley of the 1 Colorado. While new and novel, I an certain that it is the cheapest and bes method of supplying power, where in { few years, you will need millions o horse powers and the great Colorado river is there, running to waste when sht might as well put her hand to the whee for while at least"

Glover Released,
Yuma Times

Fred. J. Glover, who once had a life sentence for murder, was released from the prison last Saturday, having been pardoned. Glover was accused of caus- ing the death of c woman who was living with him. The woman went into a saloon at Prescott one evening about six years ago, and while under the influence oi liquor, used abusive language to him. He ordered her to leave and when she refused to do so gave her push which resulted in her falling and striking her head on a sharp corner of woodwork, the effects causing her death. Glover was found guilty of murder and sentenced to hang. Work was in progress on the seaffold when Gov Tritle conmuted his sentence to life imprisonment. Gov Zulick further commuted the sentence to 10 years Glover's time began June 30, 1885. and he would have been released next March, but the extenuating circum stances and efforts of friends procured his pardon. Probably few men have had such varied experience and came so close to death

 The space writer has been getting in his work on the Indian question up in the Northwest, but down in Arizona they don't have to write against space. The simple announcement comes from Tombstone that the bodies of N. H. Robinson and John Bridger were brought in from the San Bernardino Mountains. "rheir heads had been smashed in with club. The Coroner's jury rendered verdict that de- ceased had been killed by Indians" says the dispatch. Had this happened up in the Sioux country tho intellectual cor respondents would have filled columns in the Eastern press detailing the circum- stance and demanding another regiment of cavalry to suppress the Indian out rages." Perhaps when the Government gets through it's attempt to provoke the half-staryed, freezing Sioux into real fight and fails, because the cowardly CUTS won't, it mny be well to run a few soldiers down into Arizona, where the Apaches continue to pluck the hardy miners offthe mining dumps, and will fight if given the chance. True, there are no Senators and Cohgressmen down in Arizona to work up a military boom for the benefit of starving settlers but common justice and humane considerations would seem to sug- gest that the troops be distributed where needed for actual protection of the set tiers. and not used by designing persons l to attain ends. which, to say the least are questionable

IT any one goes to the depot of the P. & A. c.
