After the dispatch had been sent out
from Austin a few days ago announcing
a suit against the Farmers alliance man.
ayers at Dallas it was deemed expedient BY
prominent alliance men that matters be
kept quiet a short time. Yesterday all
grounds for further secrecy ended when
the attorney announced a suit
enjoining the publication Of the
Mercury, and not for or against
its present managers. Two other suits
will be instituted against the old alliance.
The allegations set forth some grave
charges, and show q woeful state Of affairs
and deplorable misuse and waste of funds.
Hundreds of thousands Of dollars sent ur
to Dallas, it is alleged, have been ~frittered
away, and the alliance men assert the sum
will reach over 81, OOO, 900.

How an Arinonan once Helped Mexico.

IHeUlN ileftlu.
 It is impossible to say Shat any one man alone has made history or changed any human tide into different channels from what it would have otherwise cut for itself.
 And yet one cannot help thinking that ex Territorial treasurer J. B. Allen who was in town a few hours yesterday, as already reported ill this paper, played at least an humble part in the expulsion of Louis Napoleon's French soldiers from Mexico twenty-five years since.
 They had driven the native army out of Sonora and it lay disheartened about Calabasas. It had no guns. A supply was sent down from San Francisco to to Yuma. But they could not be deliver ed except on payment of S4,5O0. Mir. Allen was then at business at Tucson. The citizens there raised the money and he took it to Yuma, paying for the guns and turning them over to Sonora's Sec retary of State.
 With tEese endorsements General Pes queira rallied his downcast troops defeat ed the French at lone, penned them mp at Urea until the few survivors were glad to flee and take ship at Guaymas.
 These successes fired the Mexican army with new courage. Queretaro was fought aud Mexico was delivered from foreign foe General PesqUeira afterward told Mir Allen that his S4,500 worth of guns had led to Maximilian's overthrow.
 The Territorial ex-treasurer Is now liy- ing quietly at his ranch station near Flor encs. He has been active in Arizona's s mercantile, mining and political bfe, his friends say that despite his 72 years. he must next winter lend the weight of his experience to Arizona's 18th Legisla- ture But he would rather bail up cold water from his magnificent spring for the parched traveller and his foot sore steed weary with their long jogover a hot and dusty desert.--

stilI Another Railroad.
Phenix Herald.

Although an effort at secrecy has, per haps, been attempted, 1t leaks out that there is a surveying party in the field at tempting to locate a railroad route from Prescott to Big Bug and the rich mines on the east side of the Bradshaws. Such line will tap the Senator mine, the Cop per Basin property lately owned by c. C. Bean, the Boggs, Blackberry and other we'll known leads which have, during the past twelve months, passed under control of Phelps, Dodge X Co.,, the well known New York bankers. These gentlemen are anxious for a railroad.
 Representatives of the great Copper Queen, Bisbee, are also said to be out in the mountains watching this survey, and appear to be personally interested in pushing the scheme through.
 There is fine showing for enormous ore outputs in the districts thus likely to be opened up. The Boggs mine has a 300-fOot shaft and the Blackberry one of 200 feet. Reports of a large smelter and increased mine development begin to grow numerous and more definite.
 The line will be about p miles long, running south east from Prescott. It is said that it could be swung around the Black Canon hills and led by practic- able grade to the Agua Fria, where the building to Phenix would be an easy mat ter. With the northern and the proposed north and south railroad, this projected by third parties, independent of the two rivals who have thus far been manpuver. ing for occupation of this much desired country, our chances for increased trans portation facilities cannot surely be di- unfinished to say the least

Fort Grant GIeaninss.
Corr. Wilcox Stockman.

The Fourth was celebrated at this post with all the enthusiasm characteristic of Government troops commanded by caYal- ry officers. Horso, foot and sack races, catching greased pig, ball playing and the tug of war were among the diver sions of the day. A number oI our col0r- ed population became over-enthused, and and wound up their celebration in the guard house.
 During the fireworks in the evening one of the officers quarters caught fire, and had it not been for the complete sys- tenn of water works at the post the result might have been disastrous,
 J. Meyer has completed his fine large dwelling four miles northwest of Grant, and has also erected 6 windmill with an elevated tank of 1000 gallons capacity. From the latter he irrigates his orchard and vineyard, consisting of about 400 trees and vines, all doing splendidly.
 Wm Roberts, having secured the mail contract between here and Wilcox, has placed good line of daily coaches on the route As there is now opposition, John H. Norton continuing his line, l would advise all having business at Will COX to go there now while fares are cheap.
 M. L. Woods, having finished harvest ing his grain, has turned his attention to freighting, and as he has quite a number of good mules he has respectable look ing outfit. Mir Woods has secured the charcoal contract here for the current | fiscal year. It calls for 1000 bushels. ! Kelley x Marbey have succeeded in ! burning a kiln of brick, which compare favorably with any shipped here from California.

Mohawk Valleys Future.
Ehenix Gazette.

From Phenix to Yuma the valleys of of the Salt and Gila rivers are numerous and hold within their bosoms untold riches for the men of money and enter prise who shall develop them. Among the most favorably located of those out side of Salt River valley is the Mohawk valley, forty miles this side of Yuma con taining about 10000 acres of tillable land, 5000 of which is subject to irriga- tion by the Mohawk canal. This canal IS the only one of the canals in the Gila valley that did not suffer during the great flood. The canal head is admirably located, being dug out of the solid rock between two buttes that thoroughly protected it.
 Mr. J. G. Marshall, who is now iii Phe- nix, tells us that considerable work has been done toward the development of this valley this year. Several hundred acres were planted to grain, which made a good yield. Dr. McIntire, of this city, has planted on his ranch thirty-iv acres of Muscat grapes, and has q nursery stock of oranges sufficient to plant five acres next year. It is supposed that the Mohawk canal will fall into the hands of the Pacific bank of San Francisco about the first of August. This will insure an increased amount of capital to back the enterprises of the valley.

Looking Ahead.
RuCkeNe Rlnde

Most everything in the way of enter prise is gradually picking up and before another year rolls around we may expect to see great changes ill the Gila and Salt river valleys. The north and south rail road is sure to be built, and when that is done other enterprises will be coming to the front in the way of canal improve ments, opening and developing new mines and a more thorough and systematical plane reached in the manner of farming. The farmer Is beginning to realize that alfalfa is not the article that 1t is claimed to be It will do to feed horses and COWS on, of course, but that is not all that Is required of a staple product by any means If there is a farmer ln either valley who has l60 acres of land in alfal- ia, can show by his accounts where he has made anything more than living for the last two or three years, unless he used it for pasturlng, we will be on better terms with it.
 The soil of these valleys is too valuable to waste on an industry which has no better returns than alfalfa. It Is well and proper to raise enough for the use of the farm, but raise none for market. 1 There is no use to bother about cOmpil- ing statistics, for you have all seen them large, new stacks, just built, while per | haps in the same field are stacks two and three years old.
 Take, for example, Tulare, Kern and Fresno counties all had their alfalfa craze at one time, but long since it has given way to the extensive cultivation of profit | able fruits. And those counties will con l tinue to improve until they reach as near perfection as climate. water, soil, brains and money can make 1t.
 | We have the very same advantage right i here as they in those counties of Califor- mia. We can't help but notice with pleas ure the advancement which stockmen have made all over Arizona, and particu- | larly in Maricopa county. during the past | five years. They have discarded their scrubs and are breeding nothing but ! blooded stock, as the prize and speed
 ring at the territorial fair this fall will 1 demonstrate. The same rule applies to | fruit raising.
 Find out what you want, then get the very best, if you don't get as much as you otherwise would, it will prove hun dred times more profitable, As long as
 wine is made there will be people to con sume it, consequently the best variety oi
 wine grape would be profitable fruit to
 grow, also the raisin, the White AdriatiC
 fig, the paper-shell almond and various other kinds of fruit grow here as though ! the country was made expressly for them

They all came and seemed to highly enjoy their first lesson in patriotism. During the day horse racing. burro racing and every kind of Indian sport were participa- ted in by the happy crowd of aborigines, and all without the slightest friction or trouble.
