Inquiry About Fruit.
PheniX Republican.

Inquiries about our fruit are being re- ceived from all quarters by the Fruit Growers Association and others.
 A California firm wants information regarding the raisins that are being pat up, and another finn in Philadelphia asks if we have any dried fruit to ship to Eastern markets.
 Those who are drying fruit will con fer favor by addressing H. F. Patrick, Secretary of the Association. It will only cost two cents to give this inform ation and it may rebound to the profit of the giyer and the valley in general
 The work done by the Association this year besides initiating the study of fruit industries has also done much to adver- tise the valley in attracting the attention of fruit growers to this section.
 We want thousand of fruit men in this valley who will cultivate from five to forty acres each of choice fruit lands that are now lying idle. The old orchards of the East are rapidly dying ont and q great market Is opening up that will de mand all the fruit that can be raised Ii | this country.

The Gila Monster.
Pacific Rural Press


 One of these dangerous. lizard like rep tiles was exhibited alive at a meeting of the Academy of Sciences a few weeks since and attracted considerable atten- tion. This reptile is no doubt of very dangerous character, especially when angered. An Arizona ranchman, by the name of Vail was recently riding in the neighborhOod of his home, when he es- pied one of these reptiles in the road, and alighting from his horse, killed it as he supposed. He tied the carcass to the back of his saddle and resumed his jour ney, but soon had occasion to place his hand in the vicinity of the animal, which instantly seized one of his fingers with such a vise-lke grip that it could only be removed by having its head literally cut to pieces, which vas done by an Indian who accompanied him. The gentleman himself immediately cut the flesh of the finger tD the bone, just above the wound, and tied string tightly around above the cut. He then rode for life to the nearest railroad station, 20 miles distant, where he procured locomotive and rode 40 miles farther before he was able to secure medical aid. By that time nearly the whole of his body had turned black, and the physician gave him nQ hope of being able to restore him, although he did congratulate him upon his good sense in refusing to drink whisky at the start as the Indian advised him to do- for that, he said, would have ended his life very speedily Hard work and the application of the best remedies, at last brought the patient around, however, and he IS probably tic only man living whc | is able to relate his own experiences ill be ing saved from the usually fatal bite of { | Gila monster.

PhenlX Herald-


 When Assayer Porterie left Phenix six weeks ago he thought he had good enough thing in an extension of the rich Fortuna mine, and he proposed to work It this summer But Aesayer Porterje changed his mind when he got out to the clam and looked about him little. ht fact he kicked down his monument stakes l and stroye by every means possible to di- vest himself of all interest in that ioea- tion
 Assayer Porteric had been polzine his obseryant optics through the thick scrub oaks that cover the highest mountain in the White Tank range. about one mile south of the Fortuna ledge. As q conse- quence he discovered what travellers over the two trails on each side Of that peak failed to see. He found q measly looking porphyry dy Ike, black, full of pocIs marks and so yellow dogeisil III apparant worth lessness that no one would hHve paid at- tentlon to it. even had he pushed through the gnarled and tangled dwarf forest kings to find it.
 But Porterie packed ton Of the sur lace rock down to all old Mexican aras- tfa at the Forlunanline. and ran < through lie eonid not make a close clean lIp ex- cept by taking out the arastra foundation stones. That would seem like an in- position upon his friends who loaned him the arastra. The bullion that he did save, however. by his most wastefui pro cess, netted $40 in cold cash.
 The claim is called sAswecalr or the African Nulture, because. 1t is supposed to be q second NuItare mine. The porphyry carries numerous little seams, all full of the yellow metal A steep declivlty renders tunneling easy. and a widthn places of ten feet, all pay dirt, insures rich returns to mining toil
 There Is plenty of water a mile below, and the scrub oak will make all fhe tim Der needed. Mir. Porterie and A l.. Molinet, lis partner. will return to their new find as soon as the formers eyes have recovered from an inflammation now affecting them.

Grain.
Phenix Herald.

Barley seems to have climbed pretty securely uD tO the dollar notch. One buyer is reported to have said he was 800 sacks short on his contracts, and openly offered one cent per pound Such charm ing confidence of course aroused a smile of wonderment as to what was mp, but the rate seemed to be bona iide
 The grain crop on the north side oi Salt river is estimated at 5,0O0000 pounds; two thirds perhaps barley, the balance wheat. It is difficult to compute the exact amount as very much of the grain harv- ested goes direct from the field to the mines and outside country. Buckeye for instance, has no occasion to report it' yield and consumption to PheniX. Othel districts raise crops and sell them, and they never get into our estimate here O the valley production.

 One of the most practical and far reaching advertisements of the horticul- tural possibilities of Yuma County, Is the magnificent showing made on the ranch owned by Mir. Hiram w.

Killed by His Tribe
Mnhaue Miner.

The news of the killing of the Piute, who murdered the Mineral Park and Fl Dorado Canon mail carrier son July 20th, was brought here last Tuesday by miner from the cailOn. The whites were considerably excited over the mur- der and had every reason to believe that should the murderer gounpunished other misdeeds would be perpetrated by bad members of the tribe. It was known that the guilty Indian was secreted by the tribe. and every means was brought tc bear upon the chiefs to have hlm de livered to the whites, and for several days all efforts proved futile. In the meantime the Indians held pow-wows and, finally told the whites that they had coHcludeo to kill the guilty Indian, and that lots had been cast and tine duty of killing hao fallen to a brother of the murderer, and that he was already on his way to perform his mission. In few hours the Indian returned bringing big toe and an cal which he said were taken from his broth CTS body and that he had killed him. Int whites were not satisfied with the evidence furnished and insisted in being showr the dead body. After considerable parley the Indians consented that number O. white men could go with the Indian anC be shown the dead one. The body wa | found several miles from the canon, an( 1 the proof being sufficient the whites wer | satisfied. Forty dollars, and the mai carriers pistol and cartridge belt wer found on the dead Indian. Quiet nov
 reigns in the Canon and no trouble Is eX
 pected from the Indians in the nea
 future, and the whites are fully satisfie,
 with the result.

Everything Gone


Captain Nelson Van Alstino, of Tan que Verde, is in town. lie brings good news of his immediate vicinity of country and says that everything IS prosperous and flourishing,' to use his own language, "the goose hangs high" Of the country down the San Pedro, from Tres Alamos to the Gila, he has not as good report. He says, "all of it is gone, destroyed, torn up, 'vamosed' down with the high water. He never saw such a destruction in all his life, and many of the people who lived along that river, who few days ago had a show of some 'frijoles and tortillas" foI the next year, are nov destitute. The San Pedro never was as high as it was this time, and will not probably be fol the next ten years. The losses sustained by the people will reach into the thous ands, and it is not possible for them to re cuperate in the next five years.

SAND AND BRAKE.
Experience of a Party of Government Sur veyers-NearIy Starved---Some very Fine Land Traversed and Elk
 celIent Pine Forest.
Tucson Citizen

Saturday morning the surveying party consisting of Deputy Surveyor J, C. smith. his brother w. c. Smith, of Cleve- | land. O.. H. B. Christy, of Cleveland, | John W. Wilson of Tucson, and Chas Baker. of Santa Ana California, returned from an extensive tour of laying out the proper line along the western boundary of the White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation.
 Ninety-two miles were surveyed- Hot and dry, cool and pleasant, through grass, forest and desert; all kinds of country were taken in that 92 miles. They cross ed two mountains, the Mescal and the Sombrero, each 1000 high, the latter being so steep that they had to leave their pack train behind, and awaited two days on the other side for their luggage to come up. The two nights were almost uncomfortable, as they were i'll a cold rain, without any blankets. Some of the country through which they passed was very fine ranch land, but was not settled because for fear of the Indians. One or two deserted ranches were found, aban- donea for that same reason. A large fine forest, heavily timbered IS situated l25 miles north of Tucson, which would be opened up by North and South rail road. Lands were passed rich and grass covered on which rain has not fallen dur ing the year, being watered by the springs abounding there.
 The party had many adventures, Kid band of renegades was Tn their vicinity, and one afterwards captured told them that he had seen them before, and that he point gun at whiteman, no want to hurt him; See what whiteman do, ff,h "a Af III been shot through by the detachment of cavalry that captured him.
 One of the soldiers of their body guard was sent back to a ranch where some provisions had been left, accompanied by an Indian scout. The Indian left him under tree, and told him to wait till he came back. He didn't come back, how ever, and on starting out soon found him self lost. After a day or two he left his worn out horse, and tried tq make his return on foot. For five days he wan dered through that wild country, without a mouthful to eat, or a drink of water. when he was found by party of cattle men, eating raw crow that he had shot. The poor fellow was all but starved to death, and enjoyed a square meal when he got to Newton's ranch.
 The party saw considerable game, bear among the rest. One of them, c. Baker, of California, wanted to hunt bear, and like the man in the story, he wanted the rest of the party to have a hand m the sport, so he tried to bring the bear into camp, having run three quarters of a mile arriving almost exhausted.
 The survey made is an important one, settling the boundaries af the reservation, as 1t does. Considerable land was cut off the reservation between the mouth of the San Pedro river and Chromo Butte The Stonewall Jackson Mine about which there has been considerable dispute has been found to ha one mile inside of the reservation so that it Ein be shut down.

Among the horses were many shapely specimens of equine stock. The thirty five neighing, scampering steeds varied in age from one to five years. A bay horse from this band, now owned in Phe- nix, has a record very much under three minutes. For two breeding mares $500 has been refused.
 In short, for an illustration of general all around, productive ranching, the en- quirer could not do better than visit Wm. Barnetts quarter section at Mesa.
