Almost every day reports come from the White Mountain Indian reserva- ticn of the wanton and malicious slaughter of cattle. Scarcely man goes on the reservation iH search of horses or cattle that have strayed over the line, who does not find one or more carcasses of cattle that have been killed by the Indians. Some of these carcasses have been stripped of their flesh, presumably for the meat others little of the choice portions had been removed, and others had not been touched-simply shot down for the purpose of gratifying their passion for cruelty and simon-pure cussedness, aad to despoil the hated palefaces of their property. We think Lieut. Johnson could, if he would, put stop to this wholesale slaughter of cattle It is impossible for those engaged in breeding and raising cattle along the line of the reservation to prevent 6 few from crossing over; and we are informed that such persons are and have been using every endeavor to prevent such tFsspass. Taking these things into consideration, we think il nothing but just that the agent al Fort Apache should take immediate steps to put stop to this cattle kill ing. We believe Lieut.. Johnson, wher his attention is called to the matter will do what he can to prevent any more of it.-St. Johns Herald

Court Martial.

There are many who are not posted ss to the manner and "mOdns oper- andi" in which military courts are conducted. The system of dispensing martial law is quite different from that used in our civil and criminal courts. A military court is composed first of an officer who is called the president, who presides over its delib- erationp. Second, comes the Judge Ad- VOcate, or prosecuting attorney for the Government. The rest of the court is mcoposed of ten commissioned officers, sitting five on each side with the president in the center. Thus formed 1t is combination of Judge and Jury. When question is to be determined, or } point of law GQmeg Hp, it is put to the court in body and a vote is then taken, the majority ruling in every case. The person charged, or he who is being tried, always has the benefit of the doubt, and when a point is voted down it is lost and is not considered in summing up at the end of the tpial of the evidepce and the law governing the case before the court.-Star.

Considerable excitement was created in town last evening when the report spread that Roy & Titcomb had just completed an assay of ore from the St. Patrick mine and found that it run $37 50 in gold. The ore was from the l30- foot level and it said that there is an abupdance of it in sight. Thf St. Patrick is q si silver mine and this was the first gold assay eyer made. II may yet turn out that there is all abundapce of gold in the Noon Camp as well as silver. Should this prove true we may expect aRother mining boom out there.

A Blackberry member of the Walla- pal Indian tribe, on last ration day at that place, met squaw of the King man contingent that he desired to take unto himself To this the King man bucks objected and some trouble arose, in which the HqqkbarFy buck was badly handled. He determined
 on revenge for the rough handling and loss of the squaw, and while the Kingman Indians slept he sharpened
 his knife and cut the bottoms or of their sacks of flour, so that when the sack was lifted the flour would run out.

Some Gun Work. Siockmau.

l. M Ofosco, better known as "Chino" Orosco, did some ugly gun work at the railroad corrals here We'd nesday night. Orosco is foreman for Andreas Rebeil, and had charge of the San Pedro cattle purchased by Mir CsTpenter. He had some trouble with Jesus Montana, one of the vaqueros, Tn regard to going on the night herd, which ended in Orosco shooting Mon- tana in the left arm, inhicting an ugly waupd, the bone being badly shatter- ed, the same ball also creasing Mon tana's neck A second shot fired by Orosco passed drought the heel of Pedro Quesada, another Mexican who was sleeping under a wagon. Con stable Caldwell arrested Orosco and brought him before Justice Nichols, but as the wounded men were unable to appear in court, the examination was continued until July l4th, Orosco in the meantime being admitted to bail in the sum of $500. He claims that Montana had a gun and was at tempting to shoot him when he (Orosco) fired, but this is denied by Montana Both of the wounded men were taken to the hospital at Tucson by Thursday nights train.

THE MAMMOTH

it Is certainly marvel as a mih4hg property; development has been made in the mine to 8 depth of 800 feet which shows a solid mass of ore on all sides of the shaft
 At the 4OOfoo level eross-cut 275 feet in solid ore has been made and neither wall IS reached, at a still higher level the ore body is fraction over 50 feet wide, all of which aver ages over $l5 in gold per ton, and in the main Mammoth lead there is an eight foot vein which gives an average of S45. This sounds like eXaggeration but the mine is there to speak for it. self, The measurement made last week of the ore body from develop ments shows 100000 tons of ore every ton of which will yield not less than from $S to $10 per ton; such be- ing the fact, these gold mines can challenge all others producing the precious metal.
 There are now 30 stamps running on Mammoth ore; on or before August first
