Home Industry.
Tucson Citizen. 1


 The imports of Arizona are gradu- ally but surely diminishing. A few years ago all breadstuffs consumed with in our boundaries were obtained from outside sources, for the simple reason that agriculture was an untried in dustry, and the fertility of our soil was comparatively unknown. Al though 8 great mineral country, it has been practically demonstrated that Arizona is one of the foremost wheat producers Gin point of quality) in the west, and the day is not far distant when this industry will be as exten- sively pursued in our midst as that of mining. An instance of this may be seen in the success of the Eagle Milling Co. Before this company was inaugurated, flour was the greatest import of Tucson, not because others had not tried it's manufacture, but for the simple reason that the hitherto crude methods of flour milling did not produce grade of flour that success fully coped with the imported article To-day this company have not only entered into "successful competition with the California product, but have almost excluded it from the Tucson market. This speaks volumes for the Eagle Gold Dust Flour. It is to-day used almost exclusively by every family within Pima county, and i. finding a growing trade outside; there is little doubt that it's use will soon bt universal throughout the entire terri tory. This is an industry that should be appreciated by the citizens of Ari zona. It is one of those sinews whicl tend to draw young territory into the statehood of independence, a fea that can never be attained in commun ities where, brea1stuffs are of neces sity imported. It saves thousands c dollars in wages alone, which woult otherwise enrich outside industry, le alone the immense drain importe flour inflicts on current capital. No alone Is it to the interest of all-in
 financial sense-to patroniZe our hom mill and help build our growing ir dus ries, ut it is to their own priyat interests in obtaining a brand of hou that cannot be excelled in the work } famed Occidental sphere of whea dom. We are only speaking of tn Eagle Gold Dust flour as those spea 3 who have used it. They maintai that it is the finest article ever pu } upon this market. The old prejudiC against home product has been CT tirely dispelled in this respect at leas and we anxiously await another il , dustry that will meet with the merite success attained by the Eagle Millin T Company. Such institutions do mol
 for the prosperity of little town liE
 ours, than the much-vaunted boon
 of fictitious origin, which pervade tt . Western Hemisphere and enrich bl
 few.

Manuel Barrellas, convict in the Territorial Prison whose term would have expired last May, had he gained the credits which prisoners are allowed for good time, was pardoned by Gov ernor Lewis Wolhey last Saturday. The convict Barrellas was deprived of his credits by the Board of Prison Commissioners on October II, 1889, after full and careful hearing of the charges made against him, as follows, to wit: Continuous disobedience, in science to the officers of the prison and refusal to work. He appeared before the board and did not deny the charges made against him and by an unanimous vote his good time was or dered forfeited, which would have brought the time of his release to May, 1891. The law giving "good time" tq convicts was passed for the purpose of encouraging them in behaving and obeying the rules of the prison, and the fear of losing credits, has undoubt- edly been the means of greatly assist ing the officers in enforcing the neces sary descipline. The Sentinel is sure that Governor Wolfiey was imposed upon and misinformed in this matter and would nothave pardoned Barrella! had he know the facts in the case

From SaIero.

Messrs Bowyer and Ira six are in from Salero They are working twenty men on Fl Plomo and the Sampson, running levels and stopping ore, and are hoisting about 20 tons daily.
 The first-cl ore is shipped to Pueblo, the second-class ore of which there are 5000 tons, is stacked up on the dump, and will average over $20 per ton in value in silver and lead the 6rst-class ore averages in value y6O per ton. Five carloads are ship ped monthly.
 A new hoist will be put up on the mine, sufficient to hoist from a depth of 500 feet. When this is in oper- ation fifty tons q day will be taken out of the mine.
 Col. John Weir has made arrange ments with Cleveland parties to put up tramway from the mine to the mill. When this is completed ore can be delivered at the mill at a cost not to exceed GO cents per ton. At pres ent it costs $5. The mill has con centrating capacity of 50 tons daily, and as there seems to be an inexhaust- ible supply of ore the outlook for the Plomo mining company is exceeding. ly good.
 Col. Weir is expected to return within the next six weeks.-Star.

Valley Bulletin. |

Valley Bulletin.
 Further particulars of the killing at Fort Thomas last week have been re- ceived.
 The man killed was Mexican named Eugene Aguirre, a gambler, who had been at Fort Thomas for some time. Bell Blakely, a negro soldier named Allen and Kate McClel. land are charged with the crime. Re ports states that Aguirre and Bell Blakely had difficulty early in the evening, when Aguirre slapped her in the face and left the saloon and re- mained away two or three hours. Re turning he was met in the door by the Blakely woman, who had a gun and fired, the ball striking him in the bowels. Then they grappled with each other, and about this time Allen, the negro, appeared and joined in the scuffie. Aguirre got the pistol from the woman and shot the negro in the head, the ball passing under the skin and entering the forehead. Aguirre after firing at the negro, fell dead from the effect of the shot fired by Bell Blakely.

Where the Cattle Are.
Cheyenne Live stock Journal.


 There are simply no native steers east of the Mississippi river, was the remark a gentleman made to the writer the other day, after an ex- tended trip in that country. The same is true of Iowa, Nebraska and part of Kansas, if we exclude those now in the feed lots eating corn pre-. paratory for the shambles. There are many of these, but we doubt if more than common at this time of the year.
 The question then presents itself, where will the steers come from that are to take the places made vacant when these ripened cattle are goneY Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and the territories west cannot supply over 200, 900 this year, if all shipments are sold for feeders This is less than a thirty days supply for the Chicago market alone. Arizona, New Mexico the Indian Territory and Texas are the only resources. Kansas has ab- sorbed 150,000 from these countries already this spring to feed on grass and grain, designing to market them from Christmas on into the spring and summer of 1891. Those sections still have few steers unsold, but il the local papers tell the truth the number is comparatively small. It i: universally admitted in Texas that the steer crop is smaller than it was ( year ago-there has been a cutting down year by year since 1887
 If the Southwest is our main reli ance for beef steers; if the number there is smaller than in the past; i the corn states are out of steer cattle does it not begin to look as if the time had come when stockmen and farm CTS should husband their cattle re sOurces2

Mining Intelligence.


 Dr. Vickers says that the Congress camp now contains about 400 people, and he claims that it is the most beautiful mining camp on the conti- nent. Shade trees planted along the streets last winter are now green with foliage, adding greatly to the natural beauty of the place. A new twenty room hotel is being built for the ac- commodation of visitors. Three shafts are being sunk on the mine at differ ent points, and a new hoist is being put up to continue the main shaft to greater depth.

TowN OF LEROY, Bitterwell Mts.
 Arizona, June IT, 1890.
 EDITOR CITIZEN Your reporter has been sojourning here for several days This town was laid out by l.. D. Chill son shortly after the discovery of the Great Eastern properties and the starting of the Combination Shaft, be- tween the town-site and the Great Eastern. The town is laid out into avenues and streets and awaiting at present that flow of incoming popu- lation that will come sooner or later to test the undisputed and acknowl- geded merits of this the silver mecca of Arizona. If one were to travel all through Arizona, l do not know if a similar mountain would be encount- cred. It's length is north and south, its tilt from east to west and south with canopy of ore-sheds so we'll defined and so accurately drawn by the Master Architect that none but ignorance and skepticiSa.-opr f.,il l-te, observe it.
 The mountain is lime formation, the surface protected with ore sheds most systematically arranged and numerously stained with mineral blossoms. Water level would be 800 feet from the surface. Ore lays in chambers, increase in size and propor- tionally rich as depth is attained. The ore bodies pitch with trend of ore sheds south and west. There is min eral ground at this point sufficient to keep capital busy for 20, years most prohtably engaged. There is no man of mining knowledge who will make a study of this camp for one week and see what it is producing and the pc culiar construction of the mountain range and the pitch of it's extremely high grade and profitable ore cham bers, but what will proclaim for it q brilliant future. This town join, the Vekol town-site, and these mine: demonstrate every day that the Veko was the first jewel discovered but no necessarily the largest, as develop ments in adjoining claims show tht heavy ore bodies to be comparatively low ground.

An Old Battle FieId.

It may not be generally known, but it is fact, that Mob Hill in this city is an old battle field. A great many years ago hard battle was fought there between Apache Indians on one side and Americans and Mexicans on the other. A great many were killed on both sides and the dead were all buried on the field, in some instances the bodies of Americans, Mexicans and Indians being placed in the same trench.-Nogales Herald.

FINEST IN THE WORLD.
The Famous Carmen Island Salt De-
 nOafts.
TNogales Herald. ]

TNogales Herald
 The Carmen Island salt deposits are the finest and most extensive in the world.
 Carmen Island is in the gulf of California, 120 miles from Guaymas. The main salt deposit or pond is about three miles long and two miles wide and the supply is said by those who have visited the Island to be inex- haustible The salt is so pure-much of it being clear crystal salt-that it only needs to be ground up to be ready for table use, the greater DOT ton being 98 per cent pure salt.
 MT. J. A Naugle visited the Island a short time ago to examine this won derfnl deposit and he says there is no denying the fact that the supply is practically inexhaustible. It has only to be broken and gathered up when it is ready for shipment and it is the in tention of the owner, MT. James Viosca, of La Paz, Lower California to prepare for getting out 10000 tons a month if there is a demand for that amount. There certainly will he and now is, big demand for it, as it is used by smelling men throughout Mexico as we'll as in several states and territories in the United States-ever in Alaska.
 MT. VIosca will begin work at once on a new wharf and in building { railroad from the wharf to the ponds a distance of about 2,500 feet. Tha he will make these improvement! complete is evidenced by the fact tha he expects to spend $3O, 900 in gold il making them.
 When everything on the Island i in readiness for extensive work tn railroad company will arrange for tn prompt receipt at Guaymas of the sal and immediate shipment to all point both in Mexico and the United States
 Even now large quantities of Cal men Island salt is shipped to Europ and it is pronounced the finest natul al salt in the world.

John Donohue, range foreman for the cattle firm of Gardiner, Gillies & Wilmerding, passed St. Johns last Saturday with about 600 heef-stanra- rom tnrees up, which they were driv- ing to Magdalena, on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, for the purpose of shipping to Kansas to pasture and feed We think the Atlantic and Pacific road is losing money by charg- ing such exorbitant freight rates that cattle men right on the line of their road are compelled to drive cattle two or three hundred miles to another line to ship. This is the second train load of cattle the Atlantic and Pacific road has missed this spring on ac count of their freight charges and there will be several more train loads of beeves that will be driven to Mag dalena this summer and fall. It is about time the management of the A & P. were taking tumble, and mak- ing terms with the cattlemen o Apache county It would be much more convenient for them to shiE from Holbrook or Winslow than it il to drive to Magdalena, but they say they cannot afford to pay the charges demanded by the Atlantic and Pacific people.-St. Johns Herald.

A gentleman just up from the Minas Prietas country states that the Grand Central mine, (owned by Hen derson and Vasquez, and which was leased to the Minas Prietas Co.,, but since relinquished) is rapidly being developed into bonanza. The Minas Prietas Co.,, got away from the main body of ore and gave it up, as lost. The owners however went to work and have again found the lead and work has proven the ore to be of a richer quality than formely. Pre- parations are being made to take out several thousands of tons for ship ment, or to be worked by the M. P company. After the property is fully developed it is not yet determined whether the owners will accept the very fattering offer tended or work il emselves.-Nogales Record.
