Early Fruits
(Yulna Times.)

IL may not be generally known, but it is nevertheless true, that shipments of ripe figs from Yuma to the San Francisco markets are bringing extra ordinary prices. So far seventy-five cents per pound is the lowest rate that has yet been quoted and at this figure it can easily be seen that fortune awaits the man who plants extensively to figs. The earliness of the fruit pro duction in this county oyer any other section east or west, gives it an import ant advantage, permitting the asking of fancy prices for apricots, figs, Hines, lemons, grapes, oranges, and dates. These can be delivered in Los Angeles and San Francisco weeks before 1t can be done by any portion of California, so that by the time similar fruits have matured in the Golden State our crops shall have been entirely harvested and sold. The profits derivable from such shipments are enormous and, without doubt, this fact will make una coun- ty the grandest and most prosperous agricultural, viticultural and horticult- ural region in America, for what has been said of fruits applies very nearly to the grains, textiles and vegetables. Paradoxical as it may seem, the case is virtually one of carrying coals to Newcastle" California, world-famous though she is, cannot excel Southern Arizona in the quality of her produce, nor in the yield per acre, and labors at disadvantage in being weeks be- hind. This probably accounts for the coOlness with which the record of Arr zona's achievements is received by the California press for they already see in the rapid settlement of what, here tofore was a more or less neglected Territory, the birth of powerful ri- val that soon will wrest from them supremacy in certain lines which, for many years, has never been disputed. The feeling perhaps, may be quite nat ural but, so far as we in Arizona are concerned, the brilliancy of the future, amply guaranteed by the wonderful native resources, should be cause for self congratulation. It remains only for apital-including brain and energy and muscle, for what are these but capital?-to bring many thousand acres of fertile. lands into high state of cultiyetion, each acre returning magnincently upon the investment. Competition, that lever of prices, is in no wise factor for the reason that the earliness of production precludes rivalry from outside points. The cream of the fruit trade is at the command of our husbandmen and if other sections are compelled to accept skinned milk where, up to now, they have received gilt-edged returns, so much the worse for them-the early bird always did, and always will, catch the worml

Sheriff Ryan Drowned.

A telegram from Globe of June 2nd says "A distressing accident happen ed at Wheatfelds, twelve miles north of Globe shortly after noon to day, re- sulting in the death of Jerry Ryan, Sheriff of Gila county, aud Miss Mary Frush, daughter of Taylor Frush, who were members of a picnicing party from Globe. Miss Frush and A. B. Simmons were boating on Wheatfield lal-e in fIail craft, which capsized. She riff Ryan and Willis Middleton went; to the rescue. Ryan reached Miss Frusn but got entangled in the weeds and both were drowned. Mid dleton tried hard to save them, but was himself pulled under and reached the shore exhausted. Simmons clung to the boat until rescued. The bodies were recovered, being in the water half an hour, and were brought to Globe this afternoo on. Ryan is the third sheriff of Gila county to meet death while in office. He was fear less, energetic officer and was promi- nently spoken of as the probable dem ocratic candidate for the coming cleo ton.

A New Indian Bill.


 A Washington dispatch of June 2nd says: The bill which has been before Congress for several weeks, proTding for the payment of all Indian trials in the territories by the government of the United States, passed the house to-day, after vigorous work of Delegate Smith. The bill was drafted and in trodszeed by MT. Smith, and $ ieAe of the hest bills for Arizona that has pass. ed this season. The opponents of U measure argued that all crimes cor mitted within the jurisdiction of Al zona courts and tried by Arizo1 judges, the expense thereto should ! borne by the territory.
 Delegate Smith maintained that the Indians were wards of the govern ment, governed and controlled by it's authorized agents. and the same hand that ruled them should bear their ex- penSe

That New Railroad.

Now and then one may hear citizens of Nogales or vicinity bd
 ing the fact that the Deming &
 loa railroad company are abou
 build their line from Deming sou
 Guaymas and down the coast, ciai7S ing that 1t will materially injure N gales: that all the east and southwe trade will go via Guaymas and Den ing. We have carefully studied tl question for the past month and ca not arrive at any other conclusio5 than that the construction 6f Deming & Sinaloa road will notf
 in the least retard the progress 1
 gales, but rather will aid in
 ing 1t up; for the reason that if take your map and note about tn
 rectien the new road will have to tsIzz ' you wiil find that the route IS so fa4 east from nere that 1t will not takd one dollars worth of trade from No1 gales. The support of Nogales does not now reach to the eastern part Of Sonora, at least to a very great extent. It depends principally upon all that portion of Sonora within radius of about one hundred miles. The con struction of the new road will bring thousands and thousands of dollars into Sonora, and as great many ot the workmen, living ill that portion of the state along the Sonora roaue will be employed there, considerable portion of the money expended will drift over the way, enough so to make | lively times for the next four or i've years, after which time Nogales will have improved to such an extent as 2 commercial center that the new towIE on the boundary to the east will noE affect or retari its progress Tn tn least. Besides this. all that rich mil eral section of the country iylng alonG the western slope of the Sierra Mad,t mountains will rapidly develop thog. ands of men will be employed r a all over the state, consequently the J | will be such Gevival of all classes O business that the ghole state will liver up, and Nogales, the Hub" ot all thii surrounding country, will directly D benefited and becoHae a large, pros porous business center. Mark th' prediction, .neighbors and "don't eros a bridge before you come 10 it." Thil apparently dl,ll cloud that now over shadows us, is not half so black her' as elsewhere ar d will prove to wear "silver lining" By all means hop for and encourage the opening up Q that rich though remote portion 2 Sonora, and Nog. ales will reap a riel benefit thereby Cheer up.-Nogaie Record.

A Sensible View.

Dr. Paul Gregory writes to THE EN- TERPR1sE from Nogales and, comment ing upon upon the suggestion to ig- nore party lines in the coming leg islative campaign, says;
 II, who have always been consider ed especially sound on democracy a democrat all my life and believing it to be the only true national party, will vote for any good republican as soon as I would for democrat. What we need is an American party, composed of true faithful Americans, knowing no man by any other name, but sim ply is he an American. We ought, to use an ancient expression, "know no north nor south" l am sure l feel this at heart At the last election l voted for republican candidate foI the legislature and stand ready to dc so again, but let us have, good, hon est, capable and sincere men, regard less of party utilization"

Indian REmors.
Tucson Star June 5

Yesterday morning there was a ripple of excitement by a Mexican spreading a report that the Shaw family, six miles from Pantano, had been killed by Indians, and their house burned down. The Star gave little credence to the rumor, but set about to ascertain the foundation of the same, and soon found that it was utterly groundless.
 ANOTHER ONE.
 During the afternoon a Mexican boy came ill from the foot hills of the Santa Catalinas, seven miles north of Tucson, and reported Apaches there, and that they had shot at him and his brother A party of citizens hastened to the scene but found no Indians. It is more than probable, however, that the Mexican boys saw what they reported, as 1t is d fact that there are band of about
 TWENTY APACHES
 off the San Carlos reservation-some of them with passes and all we'll arm ed. They have been seen dozen or more times during the last ten days by as many different ranchers and stock men on the San Pedro and vi cinity. They have been seen in the Rincon and Catalina mountains and in the San Pedro valley. They claim to be out hunting and gathering cactus fruit Last week these Apaches were seen not far from Crowley's ranch and were armed, and the party who saw them made them lay down their guns and come to him. He declares that one of them was
 1.-THE KID."
 If this be so it is reasonable to sup pose he is hunting recruits for another raid into Sonora I is stated on good authority that he with his band were in the vicinity of Fort Apache some ten days ago. Be this as it may.
 It seems to be well established that there are about twenty Apache In dians who belong to the San Carlos reservation, all armed. prowling around the foot hills of the Rincon and Santa Catalina mountains, and this at time when the people are naturally alarmed on account of the murder of Hardie in Fuckers canyon not long since.
 What right have these
 ARMED APACHEs
 to leave the reservation, what right have they to cross the boundary arm ed or unarmed? They are fed, clothed and sheltered at the expense of the government, what need have they for arms? If they were without guns they could not do any harm on or of the reservation.
 It appears that the people will be compelled to take
 THE REMEDY
 into their own hands, which is this when any of these Apaches are found off the reservation with guns in their hands to treat them as hostile, for the chance taken may mean death. This is the only remedy and 1t should be applied at once. If this band of Apaches continue to remain off the reservation, armed as they are, caus- ing alarm at time when there are renegades in the field, let the remedy be applied at once If the govern ment will insist on arming the h. dians on the reservation and then allowing them to leave the reserya- tion, it must take the consequence. The armed Apache outside of the line of his reservation must be treated as a hostile. This is the remedy.

4 New Departure.
Record.


 Itis reported in Nogales, that the Mexican authorities of Sonora, have given orders to the ranchers and stock men to not let any person go upon their ranges to gather cattle or stock of any kind. to drive across the line into Arizona It is also stated that the Mexican authorities have ordered the gathering, up of all foreign cattle now on the ranges, in Sonora, and driving chem to Magdalena, there to be sold as str:ays. To confirm these reports, MT. James Breen was in So- nora, near Aglla Zarca, last Wednes- day, gathering some of his stock. He had found few and was driving them towards the lime when he was met by a Mexican vaquero, who ordered him to turn the cattle loose as he had in structions from his mayordomo 90 to do. It is believed these measures are being adopted in retaliation for the bill, now before con gress placing such prohibltory tariff upon the importa- tlon of Mexican cattle.

County division is now one of the live issues which the people of Yava- pal county have to face. The resi- dents in the northern portion of the county have been agitating the ques- ton for about four years. During the session of the fourteenth legislature the county divisionists were numeri- cally weak but they have each yearad- ded strength, until at the present time they number nearly, If not the entire population of the northeastern part of the county. A committee of conservative citizens has been ap- pointed to confer with similar com mittee from the other portions of the county in reference to the question. Steps should at once be taken to ap- point this committee to meet and confer with the one from Flagstaff and, if possible, arrange the matter amicably and agree on lines and terms which will be just and equitable to both sections.-Prescott Journal Miner.

INDIAN ITEMS.
Expectations Reported in Different Di.
 rections by Hostile Apaches.

Since Saturday last additional news of depredations committed by hostile Apaches has been received here, mak- ing it certain that many more Indians are off the reservation than was at first reported
 The Silver City Enterprise reports that news was received on Friday night at Fort Bayard of the killing of | ex-Sherif Ben Crawford and his com panions by Indians. No further in formation was obtainable.
 The same paper gives an account of the running off of five hundred head of horses in the Animas valley The men employed by the company were holding 1,600 head of beef steers for shipment, the horse herd being a short distance away; the Indians fired on the horse herder, cutting his sad dle and trappings with bullets and driving him off. The men on the beef herd were too busy with the steers to interfere with the Indians They took what horses they wanted and hunted new pasturage.
 Another killing in Sonora which has not been made public, also comes to light through the same paper which says About twelve days ago MT Keck, of the firm of Neck X Harp er who are working a claim in old Mexico, between Bavispe and Carita springs, started for Ascension to pQr- chase supplies. Not returning witlfn d reasonable time, a search party went to search for him. They found where an ambush had been made by sticking bushes in the slnd along the road side. After further search they found the body of Neck where 1t had been thrown over cliff close by His watch and chain and money had been taken.-Prospector

John Townsend.

A confederate SC dier came to this part of Arizona some twenty years ago, settled on the Agua Fria. worked hard for himself and family, was harassed by Apaches and necessarily compelled to defend himself against them. So he "broke out" so to speak, and in a couple of years killed 26 of the say ages. They finally lay in wait for him near Dripping Springs and killed him.
 Respecting his great bravery, they did not mutilate him. His horse, a noble animal, was found standing over the remains of his master. Townsend's remains were brought here and intern ed, and on Memorial day Judge A. O.
