Have They Struck Silver or Gold?

The Grand Canyon strike by Messrs. Ashurst, Marshall and Morris has al- ready reached N. Y. A lawyer, reput- able and cool, thus in the Engineering Journal describes the rush from Flag staff: "All the old buckboards, mules, horses, burros and camping outfits that can be scared up in this commun- ity are now called into immediate use. Men have carried lumber miles and miles on their shoulders to make boats to cross the Colorado river to locate a ledge on the other side, which, they say, is plain to be seen ten miles be- fore you reach the river. Ashurst X Marshall tried to construct raft to cross the river on, but came near be- ing drowned and had to abandon the plan-wants to bet a hundred dollars that there will be more votes cast at the Grand Canyon than at Flagstaff the coming election. They are in town now after crew of men, forges, and outfits to go to work taking out ore." The kind of ore discovered is not stated Should it be silver-lead in limestone strata Prof. Raymond does not think it will extend over any great area of country. Such deposits are later in time than the inclosing rocks and are made by infiltration from the above. Hence they are con- fined to irregular channels and cavi- ties. But" adds the professor, Git is also possible that the discovery which caused so much excitement in Arizona is of gold. The archean rocks are gold-bearing at Prescott, and there is no reason to doubt that they are so under the Colorado plateau. It is said that Major Powell's party found gold more than twenty years ago; and one member of that party, I believe, has been trying ever since to discover its precise locality,
 1 confess that the nature of the re- ported furore indicates discovery of gold rather than of such ores as every body knows must have capital and transportation facilities before they can be profitably exploited"

MURDER IN BISBEE.
Constable W. W. Lowther Shot and K filed
 by James Daly.

Information was received in Tomb stone yesterday afternoon that Con- stable W. ". Lowther, of Bisbee, had been shot and killed in that town by James Daly. Shortly after the receipt of the news Sheriff Slaughter started for Bisbee with a warrant for the arrest of Daly, but up to the time of going to press no word has been received from him.
 From the meagre details received it appears that Lowther went to serve some papers on Daly, when the latter shot and instantly killed Lowther, and then immediately took to the hills, probably making his way into Sonora as soon as possible.
 Daly has been a resident of Bisbee for number of years and is the owner of a number of mining claims in that vicinity, some of which are considered to be valuable. Daily had some trou- ble with the Copper Queen Company as to the right of way for the railroad, and he became possessed with the idea that the company was trying to run him out of the camp. He never left his house without a Winchester, six shooter and belt full of cartridges, and was generally looked upon as dan gerous man. He had trouble with Dan Simon, formerly constable in Bis bee, in 1888, during which he was shot in the foot by Simon, for which the latter was sent to Yuma. Daly is an Irishman and about 45 years of age and unmarried.
 W. w. Lowther, the murdered man was quiet and peaceable, universally liked and his tragic death is sincerly mourned by large circle of warm friends. He was formerly sheriff of Gila county. His friends were mak- ing preparations to make strong ef- fort to secure his nomination for sher- if on the Democratic ticket next fall. MT. Lowther was native of the United States, about A years of age and unmarried. He has brother in business in Bisbee.
 Itis considered by some that if Daly has escaped into Sonora his capture will be easier than if he should remain in Arizona.-Epitaph.

Graham County.

The financial condition of Graham county is better to-day than it has been for years. Capitalists who were recently afraid to risk their interests here are now seeking investments with in our borders. When the great na- tural wealth of this county is consid- cred, our total indebtedness is but a small sum. The total bonded debt of the county is only $65,000, while the amount of outstanding warrants will about equal that sum. The affairs of the county are in the hands of hon est officials, and economy has been ex- ercised during the past few years in every branch of the county govern ment. This fact has had the effect to strengthen the confidence of capital, and as result it has been literally invested here during the last twelve months. There is no place where men with money can find safer or more profitable place for investment, either in agricultural, stock or mining industries than in Graham county. The mines include copper, gold and silver, the two latter almost wholly undeveloped, and there are prospects on every hand that but need the nec- essary capital to develop into as good properties as can be found in the west. Our agricultural industry will one day astonish even those who have been over our valleys, and will be most wonderful revelation to those who have never traversed the Gila valley through our county. Men with money need want nothing better than the oppor- tunities now offered for irrigation en- terprises. The man who has water to sell in Arizona in the future will be hard to please if he is not satisfied with his fortune; he can enjoy life with as much ease and comfort as much fine gold will buy. The taxes in Graham county are lower than in any other county ill the territory, save one, and county warrants which within the last twelve months have sold for 75 cents, now bring S5 cents, and one large lot was reported sold this week at 90 cents. Does not these existing conditions speak loud in our favor? Is there a single county in Arizona, possessing such unlimited sources of wealth, that shows more rapid advancement. Gra- ham, like all other new counties, has passed through days that were dark, but she is now fast getting into the sunlight, and will soon be one of the rich and prosperous counties of the great and growing southwest.-Solo- monville Bulletin.

Fruit Culture.

Arizona is destined to become the greatest fruit growing section in the union. In the southern counties fruit culture has passed the experimental stage, and is recognized as a permanent source of wealth to Arizona. In the counties of Pima, Pinal, Maricopa, and Yuma, fruit ripens from two to four weeks earlier than in California Early fruit always brings the highest price in both eastern and western markets, and melted by knowledge of this fact, the settlers of southern Arizona are very generally turning their at tention to the culture of early fruits, all varieties of which are grown to perfection. No better oranges, lem ons, or Times are grown than ill the Gila and Colorado valleys, portions of the counties of Maricopa and Yuma.
 In the Salt River valley oranges are grown to perfection and orange groves in a few years will be as com mon as at Riverside, Cal. Twenty-two thousand orange trees were planted this year in the Salt River valley alone. The soil and climate of south ern Arizona is especially adapted to the growth of oranges, almonds, quin- es, pears, figs, pomegranates, apricots, peaches, olives, nectaripes, peanut, plums, dates, oceans, nuts, apples, grapes, strawberries, and all other small fruits.
 The orange, olive and date trees are yet too young to give exact dates as to their bearing properties, but the fruit is perfect in size and flavor, and the yield as large as elsewhere from trees of the same age. Dates bear the seventh year planted from the seed, which of itself would seem to indicate that in the Gila, Salt River and Colorado valleys this lucious fruit is as much at home as upon the soil of Arabia. Grapes are especially productive and profitable a crop, whether exported for table use or converted into wine or raisins.
 In Yuma and Maricopa counties they ripen several weeks earlier than in California, while the yield is as large and there is nothing in the nature of insects to interfere with the healthful growth of the yines.-Phe- nix Gazette.

The following good and practical reason why it pays to advertise brands are copied from the Raton Range, one of the best stock and general news papers in New Mexico. The old stock man quoted by the Range has level head. Hear him:
 There are a number of cattlemen in Colfax county who think it unneces- sary to advertise their brands in a newspaper. To such we would refer the following opinion of an old and experienced stockman: "Cattle in brands which are freely advertised are not stolen nearly so much as those which are not shown in the papers. It is the little 'nesters,' as the rustlers call the small stock raisers, who are chiefly pirated on; men with twenty five to hundred or two cattle, who think they have not cattle enough to pay for advertising the brand. They are really the ones who can best af- ford to publish their brands, for they have not cattle enough to occupy a mans full time to look after them, and the thieves look upon them as the safest victims. You need never take my brand ont" |"

Sunday Legislation.
ISilYer Beltl

The Sunday Rest Bill," which fail ed of recognition for want of Cover nor Zulick's signature of approval, the Phenix Gazette asserts, is law if the appropriation act is valid.
 The Sunday Rest Bill applies only to incorporated cities, and, therefore, is special, and consequently inopera- tive by virtue of the Harrison act, ap- proved July 30th, 1886, Ca Congress sional law) which reads, "In all cases where a general law can be made ap- plicahle, no special law shall be enact ed in any of the Territories of the United States by the Territorial legis- latures thereof" See Organic law, page 37, Revised Statutes of Arizona.
 Had the Sunday Rest Bill been gen eral in it's operation, it would still have been a nullity in the Territories, for the reason that it would have been in conflict with the Federal constitu- ton because of its religious tendency. The observance of Sunday should be a question of conscience and not of law. Nothing can be plainer than that the Sunday law movement Is directly con trary to the eternal counsels of God.
 The present drift of misguided re- ligious zeal, if understrained, will manifest itself as in the days of the Puritans of the Massachusetts colony, when the sexton of the church wore a cooked hat and preceded the minis ter from his dwelling to the church, closely followed by the Governor of the colony attended by four vergers bearing halberds before him, and woe to them who were not in their seats when the thumb and finger of the dominic began to handle the manu- script. Absentees were noted and fined for non-attendance. The pillory was an adjunct to the church and those in arrears for its support for over a calendar month became un- pleasantly acquainted with it. In those reverential days the rising gen. eration in Sunday meetings were herd ed on the pulpit and gallery stairs, with four constables to guard them from the allurements of sin. Yet there sat sin itself embodied in the shrinking form of some humiliated man or woman, placed on high stool in the principal aisle, bearing the name of some dark crime written on paper and conspicuously pinned to the garments of the offender.
 Doubtless these statements will not be credited by some, nevertheless they are historically true, but not to be re- peated by reason on the forecast of the framers of the constitution, who have rendered it impossible by a prohibi- tory section of that memorable charter which guarantees to every citizen of the United States the freedom of re- ligious toleration. It would be intol- erant to doubt that the pure-minded Puritan did not conscientiously be- lieve that in his ascetic life he was serving God and preparing for his or her final doom.

The yearly increasing numbers of overland excursionists from the east to the Pacific coast, with the numer- ous points of interest visited is giving to the class of people who have little means to spend, a more correct idea of the many opportunities and advant- ages the great western country affords In time the effect of this knowledge will be felt in the settlement of east ern people at points as seem to suit their fancy, and like a little leaven that is constantly active, the knowl- edge of our resources becomes more generally spread. The necessity is therefore apparent for an exhibition of friendly welcome to the strangers who tarry with us even for day. A little judicious attention on the part of our people, an exhibition of a trif- ling degree of hospitality, may turn a current of investment that will flood our land with future prosperity. Dis dainful indifference shown them, will, on the contrary, not only deny them all knowledge of the natural wonders that surround us, but will impart to them belief that civilization is a lost art in Arizona. This is subject that our business people should deal with, and arrange to extend a warm hand of welcome to the sojourning stranger, and show him our goods, even though he may not feel inclined to buy at present.-CitiZen.

It is only April and the early part of that. Yet every where are bloom ing banks and clouds of roses. Chil- dren gather them by armfuls. Every window and table is laden with the red, pink, white and yellow beauties. Woman's beating heart finds shelter behind them, and no Adonis' button hole is without its fresh, fragrant rose bed. This Is Arizona. For two months, yet, the stormy east must struggle with fog, rain and chill, ere it's rose time comes, and even then, the sea- sons height will seem but boquet or two compared with the rich, unstinted profusion of our great, flower decked Territory in the Southwest.-Phenix Herald.

J. Wise, the short-legged traveller for E. Martin < Co.,, San Francisco, dealer in Kentucky hardware, was in town Saturday and gave the Liberal thrilling account of his experience with Arizona brigands. He said he was in the stage from Globe to Flo renee which was recently robbed. He was stopped. The robber told him to throw down the mail and express. He proceeded to do so and managed to drop his pocket book, which con tained about $900, in the bottom of the boot. The robber then made him get down and stand in a row with the rest Of the passengers, when one of the robbers went through their pock- cts but only got a few dollars in change from Wise. Just as the rob- bers were leaving Wise hollered out to them and told them they owed him two bits. "What for?" asked the rob Der. "For lifting down that express and mail" he answered. 70, you go to h-l," said the robber as he rode away. By strange coincidence Jim Guthrie, who drives the Globe stage, was in town Tuesday and submitted to an interview in regard to the rob bery. He said that Wise was riding by his side when the stage was stop ped, and seemed very much excited, he immediately began getting out the mail and express, without waiting to be told. As soon as he got it out he jumped down, emptied his pockets and said: "Oh MT. Robber, I have only got SIP in money, but here is $90O in checks and I'll endorse them to you with an indelible pencil which is just as legal as ink, here is my rolled-plate chain and Waterbury watch, and please. MT. Ro bber, don't kill me-" The passengers all laughed and the robber said: Oh, go to h-l."-Lords- burg Liberal

Snow began falling on Monday night about ten o'clock, and continued to fall pretty much all the time until after sun up Tuesday morning. It is useless to say that it was badly needed and was of great benefit to the farmers and stockmen. If the clerk of the weather had permitted it to continue falling for about ninety-six hours, however, it would have been much greater blessing and would have done great deal more good,-St. Johns Herald.

The mill at Dos Cabezas has start ed up and the future of that camp seems very bright. The ore is low grade but there are practically unllmi,- ed quantities of it and the small cost of working makes fair profits certain. Other districts surrounding Tombstone could do the same thing and will prob ably do so when the silver question is favorably settled. The fact that Southern Arizona possesses enormous bodies of low grade ore Is becoming more apparent every day. In every instance where proper reduction works have been erected and properly han dled success has been certain. Min ing men are beginning to realize this, as is evidenced by the many new works erected and contemplated throughout the Territory during the past year, as we'll as the numerous sales of valuable properties No busi-' ness can be made to pay unless han, dled properly and mining is no ex- ception to the rule. With proper facilities and the right men in the right place hundreds of properties that are now idle and comparatively worthless can be made to yield steady and handsome profits.-Epitaph.

A Ditch Enterprise Stopped.
Prescott Journal Miner.I

The post commander at Camp Yer de has issued an order prohibiting the building of the new ditch across the military reservation at that place. This action will work great hard ship on settlers there, as it will, if not countermanded, virtually result in the destruction of number of ranches. A ditch has been in operation across the reservation since 1873 until the February flood, when it was washed away. The owners then decided to put in new ditch on higher ground, to avoid future losses by flood, and have had the new route surveyed and had considerable work done on it when stopped by the above order from the commander of the post. They have applied to the war department at Washington for permission to com plete the work across the reservation, but the delay caused by this order will prevent it's completion in time for a crop this year, and may result in the loss of several fine orchards, through lack of water. So far as can be learned, neither the government, the military reservation or the Camp Verde post has been injured during the past seventeen years by the water flowing through the old ditch. The parties affected by this are, Ed A. Jordan, John Davis, H. T. Williams, Mrs. Davis, John Wood and James Brown. The estimated cost of the new ditch is $5,000.
 It is understood that the senate committee on irrigation will recom- mend a considerable appropriation for the boring of experimental artesian wells in the semi-arid regions of the west as a preliminary stepin the work of reclamation of the arid lands in the far west. The committee has not yet decided upon the amount of appro- priation it will recommend, but it is ex pected to be not less than $250,000, and may amount to $400,000. It is believed that this will be sufficient to develop what portions of the country lying between the ninety-seventh meridian and the foothills of the Rocky Mountains have an under ground water supply, which would be made available for use in seasons of drought. It is not the intention of the committee to do more than blaze the way for private capital by provid- ing data upon which the feasibility and profit of sinking of wells can be reasonably determined.--American Banker.

 "Good progress is being made with the repairs at the Silver King mine, and operations will be resumed at the lower levels at an early date. The Re port is informed that arrangements are being made so that there will be no necessity for another assessment for quite a time to come, and there are strong hopes that in the meantime some new ore may be found.
