Gen.

The colonies will be exempt from taxation for three years, and are accorded unusual privileges in other respects.

The Irish intermarry with the haugh houris of Castiian lineage, and the anal gamation is a most happy one Along the line of southern Texas and through northern Chihuahua General Taylor's sol diers have settled down and married dark eyed Mexican girls. It is common and always ludicrous sight to see a small, dark-eyed, dark-visaged, swarthy, son. l brero-crowned, cigarette-smoking young man, whose English is confined to few words, sailing around under the name of Patrick O'Shaugnessy. This, however was his fathers name. Paddy Mullins, a once rollicking Irish lad, is several times millionaire, and known to the world as Don Patricio Milmo. His wife is the daughter of an ex-president of the repub lie.

Perfunnery Farm.

Some notes taken from an article on the cultivation of plants for perfumery in California, and, which applies to south ern Arizona as well.
 People with small means who are seek ing rural occupation, and who fear that the fruit industry is becoming overcrowd- ed, would do well to consider the matter of raising fragrant flowers, sweet herbs and aromatic plants for the value of their perfumes. We have climate and soil which are in the highest degree adapted to the cultivation of the plant most valu- able to the perfumer, and so many of these plants are already common in our gardens that sufficient supply of young roots or cuttings for planting large area of land could be obtained at the smallest possible cost The rose, the jasmine, the jonquil, the orange flower | the narcissus, and possibly the cassia, the eight plants most valued for this purpose | tourishing in all the country west of the | Sierras, and all but the cassia are com. mon to our gardens. And there is nc reason why the Pacific coast should not furnish all the perfumeIy used in the country.
 This is one of the simple methods O extracting the perfumery from the howel or herbs. Square wooden boxes witt glass bottoms, are provided, and ove these are spead layers of purified larC and suet.
 Freshly cut flowers are spread over tn, layer of fat every morning, and removed the next day, when fresh flowers takt their place. The grease finally become heavily charged with the perfume of tn blossoms or leaves, and is in a commer cial form

Chinaman Murdered
Lordsburg Liberal.


 Last Saturday evening when Mike Ryan and his section hands, who have charge of the Summit section on the Ari- zona & New Mexico road. about Is miles northwest of town, were going to the sec tion house for supper they met Mexican about half mile from the section house; when they arrived they found supper nearly ready, but the Chinaman cook was missing. There was considerable blood about the cook room which aroused sus- picion and search was made for the Chinaman. Noises were heard in a dry well about 150 feet deep, and piece of telegraph wire was twisted around one of the men and was let down. At the bot tom he found the Chinaman, unconscious He bent the wire around him and the men above drew him up and drew up the sec tion man. Upon examination it was found the Chinaman had been hit on the head with an axe and then taken to the we'll and dumped in. The Mexican they had met was the only man they had seen, so they took the hand car, went down the track and at the point of a shot gun cap- tured the fellow. The Chinaman died in about two hours, and never recovered consciousness. The Mexican was brought | to town under arrest. Judge Titus em- paneled a coroner's jury and went out and held an inquest, when the above facts were brought out, also the fact that | the prisoners coat was bloody. The prisoner, who gave the name of Juan Chaves, said he knew nothing of the kill ing, he came along the railroad, that just before he got to the section house he had an attack of nose bleeding, when he got to the house, all was quiet, he did not gC in. but went to the water barrel, washed his face and then travelled on. The ex animation was made and the blood wa found Ewheress he said he bled. On the other side it was shown that the suppe was nearly ready, showing the deed haC been committed but short time that tn Ohinaman had orders to feed no tramps that the Mexican's tracks measured tn same as the tracks leading to the vel that no other tracks were found and III other person was seen, thus giving tn presumtion Chaves had asked the China man for food, that he had been denied and had killed him of revenge or for tn purpose of robbery. The evidence wa all circumstantial but strong. Judg Titus committed the Mexican to the cour ty jail to await the action of the gran ? jury. Deputy Sheriff Ownby took hil to Silver City Monday night.

NEW SCHEMES FOR HARoUA HALA.
Importance of Building a New 8O-MfIe Road in Place of the Present
 Roundabout One.
Phenix Herald.


 The old Socorro mine, at Harqua Hrla, that was worked some years ago, Is likely to be opened again shortly on a larger but MT. Clay, the San Francisco owners, had experts report on the property. They pronounce the mineral capable of treat ment at satisfactory rates. A reverbera- tory furnace will therefore be put in at once and active mining resumed.
 Recently Messrs. Bates, Harris & Hub bard organized joint stock company to work the original Centennial lead. which has history dating farther back than the i Socorro. The Harrisburg mill belongs to this claim aud it will be used for a time ln treating it's ore. Mir. Bates is expected daily in camp with party of San Fran cisco capitalists, who desire to make in vestments should the prospects warrant. About fifteen men are at work on the bonanza.
 Between Harqua Hala and the Cobra do river, a distance of some seventy miles several promising lead carbonate discov- cries have been made within the past year. As these are developed smelters will spring up and facilities for economi- cally treating all ore in that country will be afforded. Greater and greater mining interests must accordingly result with it's attendant population and remunerative trade.
 This raises the question of communi- cation with outside points. Thus far Phenix has held the trade in spite of the l20 miles of distance. She could prob ably continue to do so, but an expendi- ture of $500 will be necessary to open shorter road and dig a we'll on the line. The new route does not exceed 80 miles; 1t has been travelled several times by freighter c. Phelps, and he has heretofore explained its advantages and practicabil- ity in the Herald.
 Two other points threaten diversion of our trade. Sentinel, on the Southern Pacific railroad, is only 70 miles from Harrisburg. It has stage communica- tion herewith and travellers prefer that route to the overland trip from Phenix.
 The Colorado river offers second con- petitiye point near Ehrenberg The distance IS only seventy miles and can probably be shortened to 60. Water freight to that place will materially re- duce transportation charges and the So- zorro people above referred to are fgur- ing now upon which one of the various shipping points to accept.
 Wherever the principal freight ship ments are made, there the remaining bus mess of Harqua Hala is pretty sure to go.
 Hence it is well to consider the advis- ability of opening the new, short route and retaining that country's trade, which seems to grow greater instead of less.
