The statement t, ..g Leslie"
 ho was recentlu lced for lite, 50 the Yuma rem, ,ntiary, for killing his paramour in Cochise county, killed Billy the Kid years ago, is not true. Billy was given the coup de grace in Lincoln county, New Mexico. in the house ct Pete Maxwell, by Pat Gar rett, who had been informed, by h,- tie bird, that Billy was short of grub and was heading for Old Fort Sumner, Maywel's ranch.
 Knowing that Billy was on the shoot the information was conveyed Tn a whisper, with the request that Garrett should guard the revelation as he would the apple of his eye, for the safety of birds of the wandering wing and particularly those thu roasted low on cedar bushes. Garrett placed a finger on his lips, rnde on, and en- tered Maxwell's house after night fall, before the moon bad risen. when, about midnight, the Kid cautiously entered the room where Maxwell was in bed, and Garrett, in squatting posture, at the foot of the bed ltwas thus that Garrett got the drop on Bill ly. The sequel is that Billy was shot through the beart and, consequently in the course of few hours, became a cold moist body, and, subsequently, food for worms.
 The deceaseds patronynic was Hen. ry McCurtney, and after bis father death lie took the name of his step. father, William Antrim, which, sub- seouently, merged into that of Billy i the Kid" The BEITs senior knew hm as a callow youth, when he could repeat the Lords prayer and the deoa' logue without a bohble and we conSe, | quently, felt interested and encour aged him Tn his religious instruction and never lost faith in his future uu til he stole Alonzo Bailey's shirts iron a Silver City celestidl'S laundry, hi' first slip from moral rectltude, anc l thus it was, with wandering step, ht entered upon life which rendered h,s name sublime In tue annals o crime.

HARD ON APACnEs.

Major Gen. George Crook dissolved himself in tears upon discovering the suffering of the Chiricahua asssassins at Mount Vernon Barracks. Alabama, who ran rot over Southeastern Ari- zona, Southwestern New Mexico and Northern Mexico, devastating ranch es, and marking their trail with the blood of white men, women and chil. dren, whom they slew with as httle remorse as they would have done blind puppies, nine to the Inter. Their suffering, as depicted by Gen. Crook, is only equalled ny the Iowa regiment, in Memphis, during the unpleasant ness, who were three days without butter.
 They complain of "be,ng in policed camp with nothing to do" hence the sacred source of Crooks sympathetic tears. That they are in pohced camp is accounted for by the tact that they are as fleet of foot at Camilla, the queen of the Nolsci, who, like the Chirlcahuas, was educated in the woods, and like them she signalized herself by the numbers who perished by her hand. That they move with the alacrlty of a weaver's shuttle IS attested by the fact that they, accom- panied by the holiest of ties" their women and children, out-stripped the troops for months and months, which heightened 10 years, over a computed distance. during their last rad, as of fcially published, of twenty-one thou sand miles.
 As for work. the leaven of laziness pervades all the bucks Their women are peons, (slavesl and regarded as property, who tote wood and water. and herd their masters ponies. but in other respects, they inil not, neither do they spin" To Gen. Nelson A. Miles Is due the credit of removing the aecurSed Chirieahuas from Arizona.

CREDITORS OF VIRGINIA ANXIOUS

The creation of West Virginia with. Tn the original State of Virginia, in 1862, has been and still Is source of complaint on the part of the mother State for various causes. but more particularly for the injustice of so severing The State sS 10 relieve West Virginia from liability for any DOT ton of the bonded debt and other Ina. bilities hitherto contracted as a whole, which virtually hankrupted the prI- mary organization and so delraeted from the pledge upon which the d4ht oi Virginia was based. thus rendering her bonded obligations practically val. uelesS.
 Governor Mckinney ot Virginia, January llth, sent 10 the legislature, now in session, letter from London holders of Virginia State bonds, urging a renewed effort to adjust claims. To tEe old State of NlrgInla the blow of dtSmemberment was heavy one. In all the subsequent years it added 10 Der financial embarrassment and in mauy ways obstructed her prosperity and it IS a notable fact that she, the only one Ot the rebelhous States was so punished.
 James G. Blaine, Tn his Twenty Years in Congress, in referring 10 the dlsmemberment of Virginia, says; Common justice revolts at The selec- tion oi one man for punishment from eleven who have all been alike guilty of the same otfense. d Upon Virginia alone fell the penalty whIch If cue 10 any was due to all alike. Another consideration is ai great weight. An innocent third par. ty was involved. Virginia owed a large debt, beid, in great part, by loyal citizens of the North and ny sub. ,jeets of foreign countries. The bur. den was already as heavy as she could bear m her entirety, and dIsmemher- ment so crippled her that she could not meet her obligations. The United States might well have relieved Vir. ginia and have done justice 10 her creditors by making some allowance for the division of her territory"

Regarding the prospects for copper in general, says the Engineering and Mining Journal, they must be de- scribed as decidedly encouraging. IL may be that consumption may not continue at it's present enormous rate, but everything indicates prosperous year for 1890 Some increase in pro duction Is probable from Montana and Michigan, out no anxiety need be teIl in this respect, as the larger demand will absorb any likely increase. Nel- ther need we now fear the spectre of the warehoused stocks, which exerted such a depressing influence an tue market Tn the early part of 1889 As sumiug that there Is still piled up in warehouse in New York some twenty thousand tons, it must not be forgot ten that hardly one of the smeltlng works have any stocks whatever. and our more interested readers wlll be qulte aware of the fact that often dur ing the past ten years tue Calumet and Hecla Company alone have held about as large stock as that which Is now held of Lake copper by the for eign bankers in warehouse.

The estimate of the Old Dominion Company's production is slightly eS- cessive, and the figures for other mines may not be exactly c@rect, hut .ap- proximately they are right and show very prosperous year for the copper industry of our Territory. While the Old Dominion Copper Company oi Glob, ranks third in producuon, yet its profits for the year are probably larger than any other Arizona com pany can show, as was the case for the previous year. Despite the diiii- cuity and great expense of getting coke and supplies, and shipping cop per, by reason of remoteness from railroads, it has been proven that the Globe mlne can produce copper cheap CT than any other mine in the Terri tory, and there is no doubt but that Il | is to day the most valuable copper property in Arizona.
