About seventy five ladies and gentlemen were aboard the stanch steamer and "jolly good time" was enjoyed by all. The Mo have was in tirst-Tate condition, and with Captain J. A. Mellon, at the wheel and Dan Conner in the engine room was a positive assurance that the passengers would enjoy a safe and swift trip. The Yuma string band was in attendance and most of the journey up-river was spent in dancing. At the Pot Holes lunch was had and in few minutes walk the placer camp was reached and the works oI the Colorado river placer mining company which are in successful opeT- ation, were examined. Superintend- ent McPherson kindly showed the visitors around. who became very enthusiastic over the richness of the property owned by the company During the afternoon the steamer was headed down stream and with | song and dance the time soon flew away when the shrill whistle signalled the fact that n landing was about tt be made and the gang-plank was thrown ashore, the happy excursion
 ists having returned to Yuma, after enjoying a splendid days outing The social festivities of the trip were excellently and skillfully managed i by Messrs. M. J. Nugent, H. w

Going LID,

The following figures give the steady increase of real estate in Phe- nix the past ten years, and is a criter- ion to go by in estimating the growth and advancement ill value of real estate in our capital city.
 Ten years ago a certain lot on Washington street, Got Ii blk 20l sold for $50; year later $50 was refused for it, another year :elapsed and it's owner asked $400, and again it went up to $500, doubling every year.
 Five years ago it could have been purchased for $500 In 1887 S2500 could not buy it; in 1888 it was at $G000, including 5000 brick build ing erected on it, and the property was just sold by our fellow towns man-A. Redewill-to Mrs. Edna Gotten for $S000, at $40O per front foot, equivalent to an increase of 16O times the price that the said lot was l sold for ten years ago.
 Just think of a piece of property increasing or doubling 160 times in ten years? We are confident that the present owner of the property would not take S10,000 now. The above is but an iilustration of the steady increase Of real estate values in our capital city, and we predict that the day is not far distant wher business property along Washington street will be selling at 5000 ant $2OO0 per front foot, as in Los An geles, Denver, Kansas city and else where-Phenix Gazette.

 A patent dumping ore-wagon for the Reymert mining company, passed east ward this week.
 Charles Pickenback, has leased the Red Cloud mine in Silver District, and is now working it, with view of mak- ing regular monthly shipments of ore. E. T. Hopkins, who has a bond on Tom Goodman's gold mines near Eh- renburg, is having ten stamp quartz mill built at Chicago, which will be ready for shipment by September 1st. Captain Thomas E. Fraser, and J. Treadwell the mining capitalists re- gently visited the mines owned by the Colorado river placer company at the Pot Holes. Captain Fraser is one of the principal owners of the property and MT. Treadwell was very much pleased with the prospect, saying that in his opinion the ground will turn out heavy profits.
 Jesus Daniel, a well known and successful citizen of this county, who has been a resident of Ehrenburg for several years past, has purchased the store at that place. The outlook at Ehrenburg, for a prosperous run of business is splendid. In addition to the mining now going on in the inn mediate neighborhood, mill for the Goodman gold mine two miles distant will be built next month, and the working of the trio placers will also add to the prosperity of the place.

A Dangerous Wound.
IStar.l l


 Walter l.. Vail yesterday received a most painful and dangerous wound from Gila monster He was a short distance north of Pantano, where he saw the reptile and being an unusually large one killed it as he thought and then tied 1t to the back of his saddle with q view of presenting it to friend who was anxious for fine specimen. When near Pantano he met friend and reached around to show him his trophy, when the reptile caught the second finger of his right hand in its teeth, and held 1t fast. A knife was used as pry to separate the teeth, but without avail; then sharp stick was thrust in and the jaws were separated. The operation required several minutes, during which time the reptile was masticating MT. VaiPs finger.
 As soon as he arrived at Pantano pr. J. c. Handy was telegraphed for and he went out to Pantano on a special and brought MT. Vail to the city, who was suffering great pain. Last evening his tongue was so swollen that he could not articulate clearly. The wound is very dangerous but not necessarily fatal.
 This is most important case from scientific standpoint, as it was a l square bite and the victim is a healthy man not addicted to the use of alcohol. All cases thus far reported where death ensued the victims were hard drinkers so that the degree of poisoning by the reptile coull not be fully determined as it has generally been conceded that the presence of alcohol in the system in large quantities had much to do in causing death. In the present case no such complications are to be met and the strength or degree of the poisonous effect of the reptile will nc doubt be determined.
 Dr. Handy says that there is nc room for doubting the fact, that the bite of the Gila monster is not only very poisonous but exceedingly dang erOus. MT: Vail is at San Xavler.

An Arizona Pet.

The Gila monster, that has been so sought after m Phenix, seems to be an interesting travelling companion, and capable of considerable affection. A correspondent of the New York Engi nc ering and Mining Journal thus re- cords his experience:
 In addition to sufficient load of satchels, valiscs, etc. l left Tucson for San Francisco encumbered by q box containing "Gila Monster" l9 inches long which hope to take home and determine whether iS was Nenomous as has latcly been stated on high au hority.

After much eX- perience I SC tlei on the following formule for my replies;
 "Is it alive?"
 "Yes."
 "What does it eat?"
 "In it's wild state it lives on young dexican children" (Exclamltions ot horror, and general removal of all 'hildren from my yiciniiy.)
 "What are you going to do with il when you get it lIome?'
 "I am going to experiment to see il it's bite Is dcaily."
 "Iiow can you tell that?'
 "I hope t0 get q baby t0 experimeni lu." (Unanim0us burst of indigna ion, and a general corraling of al hildren at far end of the car) At Anacon la, the correspondent put up at the magnificent Montana Hotel, which runs behind $l0,OO0 q nonth.

THE GENTLE APACHEs
Capture an Oso Negro Freight Tain and
 Burn Wagon.


 From Mir. E. B. Gage, who arrived in this city yesterday, the following Indian news is obtained:
 On Sunday evening last the survey ing party of Ignacio Bonillas, who IS surveying for French syndicate in Sonora, were attacked by party of ten Apaches. The surveying party took to the rocks, where they were be- sieged, exchanging shots with the ln- dians for about an hour and Il half, after which portion of MT. Bonillas' party executed flank movement and opened fire upon the Indians from their rear, whereupon the latter lied and the surveying captured all their horses, leaving them aiOot. The peo- pie at the OSo Negro mill heard of the fight, and Mir. Kirk left Tuesday for the saw mill, about 20 miles distant, to notify the men to be on the look out.
 Wednesday morning Mir. Kirk start ed on his return, and after proceed ing portion of the way saw wagon on fire, and, suspecting Indians, re-
 
 ward discovered that a train of freight wagons on the way to the sawmill for lumber had been jumped by the same band of Indians that had attacked the surveying party. The two team sters, who were unarmed, took to their heels. Neither one was hurt, but enc of them had his shirt sleeve cut open ny a rife ball. MT. Kirk got achievements at the sawmill and on arriving at the burning wagon found that it had been completely burned, together with all the supplies 1t con tained. They arrived in time, how ever, to save the balance of the train At the time Mr. Gage left all but three of the mules had also been re- covered. Several parties are in pur suit of the Indians, and being afoot they may he captured. MT.

Oranges Growing.

The orange industry is as yet in ts infancy in the Salt River valley, but sufficient test has been made 10 demonstrate the fact that they can be grown here as well as any place in the world. We have the soil IS good as any, and our climate is similar tO that of California or So- nora, where the orange grows to per lection. Another strong point we cfn make for our country k the water, uf which we have an abundance, and which is very essential 10 the growth of the orange tree, and can be had almost for the asking. Taking it all in all, we do not see why our ranch CTS cannot make Q success of raising oranges on a large scale, or at least supplying tho home demand, as cheap ly as they can be brought from Cali iornia or Mexico. The scale pests, so injurious to the orange groves of Cal iiornia, are unknown in this section, and we would advise the planting of orange trees in this valley for profit. -Phenix Gazette.
