EDITOR GREAT WEST:
| am now in receipt OF two copies OF
the GREAT WEST and although, when
Imet you in Otter Tail Co., we did not
appear to agree on some questions l
have to say that like the paper and
think twill fill a want long felt by the
farming community, that is to say,
as long as you continue to give us a
political paper exclusively. 1 think
l may safely say that we farmers are
wearied with advice how to build
silos; what kind Of stock to raise or
how to diversity our crops, &c., and
think we are entitled to a rest. Let
the giyers of such gratuitous advice
transfer their attention to merchants,
bankers and railroad corporations
who will, no doubt, be extremely
grateful to be told how to WATER
their stock when it gets too dry; how
to grade their roads; how to build
their cars and how to invest their
bonds. What farmers want to know,
about this time, is how to find mar
ket for their produce when they raise
it. Whether it is wise policy to Dor
row money at 10 per cent. to invest
in a business that with careful man
agement may not pay 8 per cent. in
return. Wishing you and the paper
success, am respectfully.

January Both, 1890
Ed. GREAT VEST:
DEAR SIR.-Your paper still con.
tinues the boom for farmers and
working men generally, knocking the
monopolist robbers right and left
wherever and whenever you chance
to get at them, which, if you so con-
tinue to do, after gaining the favor,
confidence and support of the labor
ing classes until they have just and
equitable rights, you will have
achieved more honor, more good,
than any set of men since the revolu-
tionary days.
My idea is and has been for years
that the government should own
and control every railroad. giving
the operators of the road sufficient
wages to live as they should, and to
keep up roads and rolling stock in
proper shape, and after all this is
done, then to put the tariffs so as
to keep up the necessary expenses
and no more-nothing to steal and
no stock to water.
Then on this basis, it seems the
money now in bond-holders hands
would be in the hands of the govern
ment, and the control of the people
directly. Then you would not see SO
many millionaires, and more evenly
distributed wealth among the people.

From the Bulletin.
 There will be 12O7 names on the great register of Graham county.
 "Uncle John" Glasby, of Stafford, had a $50 greenback bill in registered let ter in the mail going to Bowie last Fri day, and the robbers got it. He is now stronger for the peoples ticket than ever.
 Dr. B. B. Tripp returned to his home at Cedar Springs Wednesday. The doctor informs us that the mountain lions have killed a number of colts in his district this season. They some times attack grown horses.
 Word comes from every section of the county that the Peoples ticket is the favorite. It should be, as no better men could be selected in Graham county for the offices to be filled than those on the Peoples ticket. It is sure winner.
 H. c. Boon is a man for whom every body can vote with the assurance that they will never have cause to regret having done so. He is man of the people, and more competent one could not be found in Arizona. If he is elected sheriff, and there is hardly doubt of it, the business in the sheriff's office will be at once systematized and carried on in a business-like manner, and every man interested in having strict enforcement of law will feel that in H. c. Boon they have a man to execute their processes without fear or favor. The people of Graham have known him for years, and they know him to be whole-souled, honorable gentleman.

 From the Globe Silver Belt.
 Reports of mining operations at Rich mond Basin are encouraging. The miners there are too busy developing mines and extracting ore to give much time to politics.
 The grand jury yesterday returned in- dictments against Bat-dish, Bak-elcle Guadalupe and Nat-tein, Indians, for murder, charging them with the killing of Ed Baker; against J. F. Dalton, foI rape.
 About three and one-third tons of sill yer ore taken out by chlorders on the Grub Stake of the Mack Morris mine Richmond Basin, was received by A. Bailey x Co.,, Thursday, and will be shipped to Eastern reduction works.
 Work on the copper and silver mines of Globe district is being energetically prosecuted. New silver claims are be- ing prospected and the production of silver increased. The outlook is cer- tainly encouraging and there is growing activity in every other industry which, after all, are dependent upon the pros perity of our mines.
 Roscoe Griffith, Tonto Apache, is under arrest upon a charge of assault with intent to kill. The case will come before the grand jury, present term. The squaw "Lena," whom he wounded, will, it is supposed, be brought to Globe to testify on the part of the Territory. The otfense, if proven, consigns the offender to the territorial prison for not less than five years, which may extend to life.

 From the Wilcox stockman.
 Justice Nichols, who is the Joint, Councilman on the Republican ticket for the Southern District, is very popu. lar and it is said he will carry Wilcox on November next.
 The public school of Wilcox is ore. sided over by G. l.. Gutherie and Miss Hunter; there are about fifty pupils in attendance. A handsome and com. modious school is one of the marks oi enterprise and good taste of the people of Wilcox.
 William Roberts, who killed J. w. Cress, at Bonito several months ago, was tried in the District Court at Solo monville this week and acquitted. He was defended by Frank J. Heney, of Tucson.
 We were shown gold brick last Sat urday by Peter Boyer, that was worth between $700 and $500. It belonged to Dan Waughtal, of Dos Cabezas, and was the result of the crushing of about thirty tons of ore taken from MT. Waughtal's mine.
 Wilfred Webb was indicted in Graham county last spring on charge of cattle stealing, and was admitted to bail to answer before the court at the fall term. He failed to appear when the court con vened at Solomonville last week and his bail bond was declared forfeited.
 A man named John McMahon was killed by the cars at Fairbank last week. He went to sleep on a side-track, and not being noticed was run over while some cars were being switched. He was from Pennsylvania and had recently been employed at Bisbee as a miner.
 Dr. Daniel Grey, the cattle spaver, last Saturday came in from the Sierra Bonita ranch, where he spayed about 1000 heifers. One day last week he spayed IF head in two hours--some- thing it is believed no other spayer ever equaled. On Monday the doctor went to Eureka to do some spaying for the Eureka Springs Stock Company.
 Thomas Steele and Frank Lynch re- turned Sunday from Sonora, where they went a short time ago with Mir. Jones, who represented that he had discovered a wOnderfullyTich gold lead on the Yaqui river. Mir. Jones piloted Messrs. Steele and Lynch to the find, which is located about 26O miles south east of here on the Yaqui. They state that the lead is undoubtedly very rich, large in extent, and when developed

they believe it will prove one of the richest gold mines on the Pacific Coast
 J. Liberman X Co. are the largest forwarding house in Arizona. They do nearly if not all of the freighting busi- ness between Wilcox and Globe. The shipment of coke to the two mining companies alone, now in operation at Globe, amount to nearly 700 tons Q month. The freighting capacity is about $50 tons a month. The freighting capac- ity is being largely increased. J. Lieber- man & Co. are the forwarding agents for the companies. They have recently pur- chased 100 Bain wagons and quite a number of mules and draft horses which they will add to the 400 wagons already on the road. This firm has been the forwarding agents of the Globe Copper Companies since they first began opera tions and they have handled millions of dollars in property for these concerns, which fact speaks volumes for them.

Gigantic Swindle Unearthed.

New YORK, Jan 2O.-The details OF
a gigantic counterfeiting scheme are
published in The Evening Sun. It is
claimed that parties in Mexico have
been counterfeiting silver dollars for
years, and have been disposing of
them at a profit of from IS to %
cents each. 1t is estimated that at
least 100000 of these counterfeit
coins are now upon the market. The
dollars have been sold across the bor-
der or given in payment for goods.
The fact, The Sun says, has been
known to Wall street bankers for
some time and an investigation has
been going on, which resulted in trac-
ing the counterfeit dollars to band
of Mexicans calling themselves "a pri-
vate bank" This is the conclusion
which the bankers in Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona have arrived at
as a result of their investigations.
Perhaps there is more than one of
these institutions, The Sun asserts,
and perhaps dozen.
