Tke Collsetorship.

On the 10th inst, Col J. F. BlcGrUr- ty forwarded his resignation as colec tor of internal revenue for tue district of New Mexico and Arizona to tue secretary of the treasury at Washing ton, and on yesterday the president appointed MT. Levi A. Hughes, of Santa Fe, to the vacancy created by the resignation. It is proper here to say that the resignation was entirely voluntary and not called for by the administration, and that the secretary, according to all appearances had concluded to let Col. McGrorty finish four years of service. The latter, however, had private interests of con siderable magnitude demanding his immedidate attention, and coming to the conclusion that the end of the fiscal year was good time to leave office, he rendered his resignation.
 About as happy choice as could we'll have been made by President Harrison in the matter of a successor to Col McGrorty was made in the appointment of Mr. Hughes.
 The latter is young man about 3l years of age; born in Minnesota, but raised and educated in Indiana; he graduated with high honors at the In- diana State University at Blooming ton, Indiana, his home, and twelve years ago came to New Mexico to grow up with the country.
 He preferred an active business life to profession, and since 1879 has been closely identified with the busi ness interests of New Mexico. Fol four years he was chief deputy re venue collector here. He is one o the brightest young business men o New Mexico, possessing an extensive knowledge of New Mexico and Ari zona, their people, resources and necessities; is highly thought of by and we'll known to, the business mer of both territories; has an intimate and correct knowledge of internal re venue business, personally he is { young man of good habits, great busi ness sagacity, excellent education energy, vim and scrupulously honest In his appointment the president ha done exceeding well in recognizing the younger element of the Republi can party in this territory. Mir Hughes was strongly recommendet by some of the foremost citizens 0 New Mexico, as well as of his olC state, Indiana.
 Mir. Hughes appointment, although there were five other candidates iron New Mexico, and all of them gooC men, will give the greatest satisfac tion to all good citizens, and vii prove alike of benefit to the peopl and to the government. The presi dent could not have improved in tn, choice for a collector. It is one o the very best federal appointment made during the present administra ton and will SO prove.
 The New Mexican congratulate MT. Hughes upon his preferment, an pressges for him an honorable an successful career in his new position New Mexican.

BEFORE JUDGE PALM.
Gilbert Webb and Wilfred Webb Arrest ed on a Charge of Defrauding School District No. c. They
 Waive Preliminary
 Examination

On Friday last District Attorney A. M. Patterson, on information furnish ed him by the present trustees of School District No. 6, and the county school superintendent caused war rant to be issued by Barnabe Palm, Justice of the Peace, for the arrest of Gilbert Webb. Wilfred Webb, J. A. Burns and J. A. Taylor, on charge of defrauding the Pima School Dis trict out of $l60. The parties were arrested by Deputy Sheriff, J. P. Robertson and Tuesday set for a preliminary hearing of the case, when Taylor and Burns were dismissed on motion of the District Attorney, he having become convinced that they were innocent of any intended wrong in the matter. Gilbert Webb and Wilfred Webb waived preliminary hearing and entered into bonds in the sum of $500 each to answer the action of the next grand Jury. The justice first fixed the bonds, at 5000 but subsequently, reduced them to $500 each.
 The transaction on winch tms charge is made, as near as can be learned, is as follows:
 Wilfred Webb and J. A. Burns, the former trustees of the district, (Wil- fred Webb being clerk) on the 1lth day of April of last year issued a school warrant to Gilbert Webb for Sl60 in payment for brick to be used in certain improvements to be made on the school house. The warrant was delivered in advance of the per formance of the service, which never was rendered at all. Afterwards Mir Joseph East and Oliver Elmer became | trustees of the district and employed q man named Sims to furnish the brick needed for the building and paid him for the same, and in looking over the books discovered that warrant had already been issued to Gilbert Webb for this same purpose, and up on further investigation it was learn ed that the warrant had been paid by County Superintendent Blake.-Solo- monville Bulletin.

Barry says the entire length of the route will be about l46 miles, seventy of which will be in Maricopa county. The grade will be quite heavy for a distance oi forty miles, but taken as Q whole it will not be difficult road to construct There will be four bridges and several cuts and fills on the line, none oi which will be very costly. Mir. Barry is one of the most thorough and com petent of civil engineers and, while the work is all of 2 preliminary natuTe, is capable of rendering an intelligent opinion upon the line.
 The gentleman reports business as quite good in Prescott and the mining outlook as very promising-more SC than be ever knew it in the territory Prospectors are working their claims and many of them are showing rsmaFkr ably we'll
 MT. Barry thinks the people of Yav- apai favor the construction of the northern road and will rejoice when work begins on it. The gentleman will return to Prescott early n6xI week.

Tha CIin Shnntinu,

Deputy Sheriff Frank Burke left for the Yuma ranch on Thursday morn ing with a warrant for the arrest of Trinidad Gonzalez, who is charged with attempt at murder. On the morning of May 18th Juan Maclis, well known stock raiser of this county whose ranch is near Clip, remonstFated with Trini- dad Gonzalez about the killing of a steer belonging to the former, and in formed Gonzalez that if any more cat tie were killed without permission, the offender would be arrested. This an- gered Gonzalez who promptly drew his revolver and fired twice at Maclis, but failed to hit him. Maclis immedi, ately dispatched B messenger tQ Yuma, and asked for the arrest of the shooter. Gonzalez has quite 2 reputation as a "bad man," but when he meets Deputy Burke he will be sure to quietly come down to town and face the legal music. The officer and his prisoner are ex- pected here to-day-Yuma Sentinel.

Ripe Figs and Apricots.

We have received fine box of ripe figs and apricots raised on the Palm Springs ranch, in Palm valley, about no miles east of Los Angeles, near the main line of the Southern Pacific rail road. These are part of the very first aprIcots and figs raised on this coast or received ill any market. The apricots are of the royal variety, and are perfectly ripe and exceedingly toothsome. The figs are large, of the black variety. TA fact that such excellent fruit caA be marketed so early in the season insures 8 very liberal price for it. and gives value to Palm-valley lands that cannot fail to be appreciated by home seekers.- Los Angeles Herald, May 28.
 Apricots have been ripe here since the 14th of April, and figs, both black and white, for over 8 month. Yuma figs are now selling in the San Fran cisco market at seventy-fve cents per pound. The first crop of figs is near ly all picked and the second crop is already half-grown. That Yuma county is the earliest fruit producing section in the United States is beyond question.-Yuma Sentinel.

Summer Resorts.
(solomouytlle Bulletin ]


 In the Graham mountains less than 2 days journey from Solomonville, may be found the finest summer cli- mate that it has been the fortune of man to enjoy during hot weather. People who spend their money and pant for days ill a sultry dusty rail road train en route to California sum- mer resorts, could get much more solid comfort by going in parties to any of the high timbered mountains of Arizona, where life may be enjoyed amid the real smiles of nature, sur rounded by running streams of pure cold water and where the sportsmen may shoot wild game in endless variety and hook the finest fish to be found in mountain streams. After such d trip men and women return to their homes and feel that they have been refreshed that they have supped from nature's cup recreation thatl furnishes new ener. gy for a resumption of their daily call ings. Those who go away to Califor- mia or other so called summer resorts seldom have any comforts or real en. enjoyment from the time they leave home until they return to it. They are not absent ten days when they long for the time to come when they can return to the ease and quietude o home-life. They soon tire of crowded hotels, bad smelling dining rooms sloppy bath houses, and being jostlec by dudes and often a class of people of whose responsibility they know noth ing. Already there are several placei in the mountains of this territory where accommodations may be had bJ those who desire to escape the intens' heat for few weeks; and Arizonani who seek these places in preference tc a trip either east or west during sum mer will be away ahead as far as req enjoyment of life and the comforts thereof are concerned.

Fruit Culture.

While capable of an almost unlimit- ed variety of productions, it is to the cultivation of fruits that this valley must look for lasting prosperity Out side of some favored spots i'll Califor- mia there is not region between the Atlantic and Pacific that possesses so many natural advantages for the pros- ecution of this industry. Shut out from the fogs and mists of the sea coast valleys, it's pure, dry atmosphere has all the desirable qualities for grow ing, ripening and.curing ofhigh- priced seIni-tropic fruits.
 The soil is natural fruit land and has all those ingredients requisite for it's production. Owing to the more rapid growth of vegetation the fruits of the Salt river valley are ripe and ready for market from two to three weeks earlier than those of California, This gives the Arizona producer an immense advantage over his competi- tor of the Golden State and enables him to dispose of his entire crop free Of competition. It may appear like sending coals to New Castle, but it is q fact that the Salt river valley has fo, several seasons past shipped apricots to Los Angeles month before the. were ripe In that city.-Phenix ca Zette

All but one of the asylum holdDyers are numbered with the outs.
 Yesterday Treasurer Fleishman. of the holdover asylum board, turned over all the funds, books and papers belonging to the commission. to D I Reed, of the Western Inv estment Bank, as the treasurer of the new com. mission
 The amount of cash tu rned over was $934 4.3O, which is the exact sum ss shown by the books, that should be in the treasureT's possession.
 This shows, of course, that MT tleishman kept his accounts accurate. ly, and that there was no foundation for the talk to the effect that there was something radically wrong with the asylum affairs-and it demon. strates further that the commission CTS were not in such need of funds as they claimed to be.-Phenix Republi- can.

Graham County Minerals

The development of the mineral re-
 sources of Graham county by calling prospectors into new and less de- veloped camps, capital and investors into the others and the erection of re- duction works for treatment, reduc- ton of ores, in connection with the development of the agricultural DOT tions of the county, will make our county one of the most desirable in Arizona. With the abandonment of the military posts which have here tofore furnished a market for the pro duets of the farmers, will require them to seek other markets or turn their attention to other products, or will check the growth of that interest. Mineral districts lie almost contiguous to the farming, which have been known for years to contain veins of gold, silver, lead and copper. But little prospecting has been done, more than to establish the existence of some well-defned veins with greater cer- tainty than the finding of float. From present indications and from work progressing slowly on q few claims, there IS sufficient inducement for a number of prospectors to enter what is known as the Lone Star mining district, about 8 to b miles north of Solomonville, and search for mineral. The formation belongs to the primi- tive rock, making 1t reasonably cer- tain that the mineral will be found in | and nf 0h ho nfn ar than in the later rocks. MT. Walker, a mining man of many years expert ence in Montana and. other of the mineral regions, with his associates
 have recently made 8 valuable discov- cry of vein carrying sulphates oi silver, with occasionally ruby and other forms, and lead. They have g shaft down about 25 feet and have sacked about four tons of ore taken from the shaft in that depth. One oi the gentlemen named was seen this week who confirmed the report, and stated that there were two other mines not far from theirs that were said tc be larger mines and containing larger pay streaks. There are others in oth
 CT parts of the same district that are equally good, some of which have at
 tained depth of 50 to 60 feet. witt better showing at that depth. Enougl
 is known of the mineral resources O
 the Lone Star district to commend i
 to mining men, and besides is is prac
 tically open for new explorations. Thi, district is in sight of every farm il the valley and if developed will fur nish market for much of the pro ducts thereof. Being situated so ac cessible to q base of supplies, the higl prices usually paid for everything il & mining camp, would be avoided In other words the industries of Ora ham county would assist and sustain one another-Solomon Bulletin
