No, not just now. The forcing pro- It is, at best, poor way of fighting wrongs.

No fault should be found with a just bill; one that will reduce rates a little, but at the same time not deter the invest ment of capital in more roads

A Good Prospect.
Pnenix Republican.

Ed I. Johnson and H. Waterman arrived in town yesterday from mine they have lately located, about five miles west of the Upper Walnut Grove dam. The prospect is blowout" in the point of mountain, and from specimens brought it shows fab ulous wealth. The vein is POO feet wide and spotted over with quartz rock that is studded as thick with beautiful native gold as it can be, to see any rock at all. Mir. Johnson says that there is no estimat- ing the value of the ledge, as great deal of the ore in sight is almost pure gold. They have just completed negotiations with MT. D. F.

4 Green Christmas.
Phenix Herald.

Captain Calderwood says that for 20 years Salt River valley has never looked greener and brighter at this season of the year than now. Wherever water could reach, alfalfa, barley and wheat fields, just sowed or volunteer, are springing almost knee high to greet the delightful June sun of New England, that now in Maricopa county streams so warmly and cheeringly over our thousands of teem- ing acres. Trees, too, have their foliage freshened by recent rains and birds are singing amidst yellow oranges, or waiting for Judge Stewart and R. E. Harrington to nod till they pick their reckoning strawberries.

Death of Wm. Hassett.
Tombstone prosnoetor

POStOA-
 Wm. Hassett one of the old timers in the history of Tombstone, breathed his last yesterday evening
 He had been suffering long time with consumption which gradually completed it's work. He was a native of Enniss. County Clare, Ireland. and was Al years of age.
 In 1880 he left Nevada in company with James Martin and Chas. Warner and in due time arrived in Tombstone and found work in the Contention mine and remained in Tombstone ever since. He was faithful and trustworthy man as those who sought his services can attest. He had many virtues and his faults were few. In his taking off Tombstone has lost another land mark whose energy was spent in building the foundation of our town and whose memory we can all cherish for the good he has accomplished.

Big Potato Crop.
Solomnnville Rnlletir

Mir. Thomas Austin was up from his ranch on Tuesday. He exhibited at the Bulletin office a sack of Early Rose po- tatoes that were as fine as we have ever seen in any country. They were the se- cond crop that had been raised this year off, of the same piece of ground. The piece of land on his place set apart for potatoes consists of an acre and quarter. The first crop yielded him 10000 pounds of potatoes which he sold at from four to 115 cents per pound or an average price of two cents. The second crop which has just been dug yielded him $500 pounds and these he will sell for three cents a pound. His potatoes from one and quarter acre of ground has brought him $46i.

A MEMORY.

A wall of a child at midnight, The chime of minister bell. The Eorrowful moan of a sorrowing soui And the sound of 8 passing knell. An old worn book on a corner shelf And spray of faded yew, A locket with hair all golden and fair And ribbon of faded blue. A needle case, both empty and old, And 8 case with hidden spring, Wherein two golden watch keys lie, 4 heart-and wedding ring. take the book from the corner shalf, And the ribben of faded blue; And before ms stands the form loved, With hair Of golden hue And gaze so long in those earnest eyes That my soul grows weak with pain; Then she fades away-and gently lay The old book down again.

AFTER THE RENEGADEs.
No Scouts this Time, but Friends of Rob-
 iusOn & Bridges at the Head
Tombstone Prospector.


 From Mir Baker, who arrived on Sun day from the scene of the rec( nt fight in which Bridgers and Robinson lost their lives, the information is gleaned that Lieutenant Burkhalter of Bowie with twenty cayalrynlen- -reached the scene of the killing on Tuesday and took the trail Two of Slaughter's men from San Bernar- dino went with them and no Indian scouts were allowed with the party. Their inten- tion was to cross the line if the trail led them that way. They had been out six days when Mir, Baker started for Tomb stone and nothing had been heard from them. It is presumed that they are on the trail and cooperating with the Mexi- can troops. The law which governs the crossing of the line by troops Of either country stipulates that no more than two Indian. scouts shall cross with the troops and that these shall carry no arms. Un der these conditions it IS stated that scouts will not work and consequently the first pursuit of renegades without Indian trailers was assigned to Lieut. Burkhalter and with two friends of the murdered men at their head the command may be suc- cessful in accomplishing some good. All persons who are familiar with the Indian situation along the border scout the idea | that the five Apaches seen at Miller's are | the same ones that did the killing near ] the San Bernardino ranch.
 1 Sheriff Slaughter does not share in the ! belief of many persons regarding Lieut. | Clark's apathy in hunting the renegades | but on the contrary pays that officer the i compliment of calling him the most in. defatigable worker that he has ever met along the line.

Wheat in full Head.
Pheuix Gazette

Major Evans yesterday left on our table large bundle of wheat which shows a remarkable growth for this time of the year. The wheat is in full head, and fast nearing maturity. This is one of the things that it is difficult to make eastern people listen to, it requires a mighty stretch of imagination to sit before blaz- ing fire in an eastern home, with the ther- mometer 25 degrees below zero, and con- template fields of ripening wheat, blooming flowers and nature in summer regalis. Yet to those who have reveled in the sun shine of a Salt River valley winter, this will be no news.
 There IS not another section of country Tn the union that can show such climate, and its many accompanying conditions as the Salt river valley.

 That dates can be raised around Yuma is no longer question, neither does it need experimental farms nor thousands of dollars expended to prove this fact. All that one has to do is to call at Hall Hanlon's fine ranch seven miles down the Colorado and see the magnificent dates grown in his garden-where tree 30 feet in height. the growth of b years is in full bearing and has been for the past 8 years The present crop consists of some Is punches, some of which contain as high as 100 dates of large size and very fine flavor.

Took the Safe and Money.
solomonville Bulletin.

Another robbery is reported from Fort Grant. On Tuesday night of last week, two men, supposed to be soldiers belong ing to the Post, entered the Canteen at a late hour, found the stewart (vulgarly cal led barkeeper) asleep, carried the small safe out from the place about fifty yards, broke 1t open and extracted about $190. They did not even have the politeness to return the safe, and the money is still missing. The Bulletin would suggest that the officers of Grant persuade enough of their soldiers to remain away from the Bonita brothels to do picket duty at the Post. Next thing we will hear that some one jumped the Military reservation for a cattle range.

 The Special Agent who went to San Carlos last week toinvestigate the trouble there between the Agent and MT. Kings bury, one of the Indian traders. returned to Washington this week. and it is stated by gentleman who talked with the special agent as he passed through Solo knoxville, that he will report favorable to MT. Kingsbury, and recommend that he be permitted to resume business at the old stand. From the facts, as reported, the impression seems general that great hardship has been visited upon MT. Kingsbury for a small matter. The special agent had nothing to do with the matter'of the dismissal of Al Seiber from the service of the government as scout, but from a gentleman who knows all the facts connected with the discharge of Seiber, it is learned that his offence, if he has committed any offence at all, is so trivial and insignificant as to amount to nothing at all.

Hank Williams and Johnny Packar re- turned last evening from their search for the Nigger Ben mines, upon which they started few weeks ago. On reaching the Santa Maria foothills and finding water, they ventured up amid the main ranges. In one gulch they detected coarse gold. But recent rain had operated to prevent dry washing, while not yield ing enough for banning. The boys pack ed a sackful to tho nearest water and found it yielded about twenty-five cents to the pan. This was. big enough for them, and with new supplies, they will doubtless stay with their golden dis covery.
