Pointer on Orange Planting.
A prominent fruit dealer writes to the l. D. el.l

A prominent fruit dealer writes to the Riverside Press as follows:
 On every hand ill your city, and i'll Red lands, Pomona and Ontario, and, in fact, everywhere all oyer your country, l have found that large portion of the trees are being set out with Navel oranges. There is no doubt in any of the minds of your readers but that the increase of the Navel oranges in the next three years is five to one of the increase of any other style of oranges, figuring the proportion they now hold to each other.
 You must advise your friends who are expecting to set out oranges to change their plants in regard to the amount of Navel oranges they set out, expecting larger results than they would from some other varieties.
 Taking into consideration the large i quantity of seedlings that can be raised on an acre of ground above the Nayels, l ] consider in three years from to day that ! one acre of seeding oranges i'll Riverside will bring in more net returns than one acre of Navels. Furthermore, l consider at the same date Mediterranean Sweets and St Michaels will average 90 per cent net per acre above Navels.
 I am not aware which is the heavies
 bearer, the St. Michaels or the Sweets, bu
 provided the St. Michaels will bear al
 heavily as the Sweets, consider it tht
 most favorable tree for setting out at tn,
 present time It is a splendid keeper
 and in midsummer does not get so dr.
 and tasteless as the Sweets; and althougl
 two years ago the Sweets sold in pref erence aud at higher prices in almos every city, now the St, Michaels take tn , lead and will bring from 9 to 50eents pc box more than the Sweets.
 [ think that Malta Bloods can be plant ed for Q number of years yet, without an special change or over-supply; and l SC l no reason why they cannot carry and h : shipped as late as the Sweets, and brin
 much more money than they do now.

Our Early Oranges.
Phenix Gazette.


 One of the greatest advantages of fruit countries is their early fruit; sections of country that can get their fruit into the markets a few weeks or even a few days in advance of others have wonderful advantage in the markets. and secure high prices for their products. The claim has been set up by the residents of this valley, that oranges, grapes, figs, apricots, peaches, strawberries, etc., can be gath cred weeks in advance of any other locality in the southwest; of course to this claim southern California demurs, yet all they can do is to demur, we lay our apricots down in the California markets from two to three weeks earlier than their earliest, and we will put our navel oranges down in Los Angeles three weeks earlier than theirs, with ease.
 The Arizona Improvement company little upwards of one year ago set out 1890 orange trees and to say that they have simply shown phenomenal growth is but modestly expressing it and on November 20th of the present year fine ripe navel oranges and tengeri nes were gathered from this orchard while Los Angeles could not even show an orange approaching maturity, The CT anges taken from this young grove arC not only early, but are large and of fin' flavor, showing every quality necessary il a first class orange. Thus the admirabl qualities of our queenly valley are dail, becoming more apparent.

 VIVA MEXICO, DEATH TO rHE FILLIBUs- TFRs. YGSAcIo PEsQuEiRA-
 Ures, March 30, 1851
 Crabbe pushed forward with all his party, except two who had been left sick on the American side of the boundary. and took a position i'll the town of Cabor- ca The Mexicans gathered around Ca borca in great force from all parts of So- nora Crabbe fought his way from house to house until he occupied one of the largest buildings in the heart of the town and held 1t for several days. His men were splendid marksnen and the Mexi- cans say that if finger was put in sight au American bullet was sure to hit 1t. Carmen Hnila, an old woman who died here at Yuma last year, was down there. Her son was in the belfry of the church: not seeing him she called him: he barely exposed his head to answer her when bullet went crashing through his brain and he fell dead Of the ground at her feet After more than half of his party had been killed or wounded, when his provisions and ammunition were nearly exhausted. when he himself had been wounded and the roof burned off the building he was in, Crabbe surrendered. upon the most definite and emphatic as- surances that he and bis party should be treated as prisoners of war. Within twelve hours every man of them was corpse on the ground outside the town and the hogs were deyonring their un- buried bodies. A party came across the line into the United States, and butchered in their beds the two sick men left by Crabbe. and who had never been in Sonora at all.

Hound in London that capitalists are tired and sick of South Africa and the Argentine Republic and their eyes are all turned towards the United States and Mexico as the great and best fields for investment, and henceforth they said our money will go there"
 This all coming from reliable man. who at one time was not friendly to the International Company, carries great weight with it and Is good news for Yuma

An Interesting Suit.

A suit of more than an ordinary inter est was tried at Phenix last Tuesday. A synopsis of the facts is from the Repub- lican, which says: The case of w. R. Slaughter, of the southwestern Beef Com pany, of Los Angeles, versus George Marlow and David Hardenburg, took up most of the day. Counselor Street, representing the plaintiff and Baker x Campbell, representing defendants, all spoke at length. The complaint alleges failure on the part of the defendants to complete contract entered into some time before May, 1888, in which the plain tiff agreed to sell and defendants agreed to buy certain number of cattle at a certain price, the plaintiff advancing $2,0O0 of the purchase money; that de fendants refused to deliver the cattle under the contract. and prays for iudg ment for the $2,000 with interest tC date.
 l The defendants in their answer set IT counter claim, alleging willingness a all times to deliver the cattle, and tha they did drive them down to place de l signated in the contract and had then subject to plaintiffs command, at con siderable expense, plaintiff refusing t take them, whereby they were put t great loss, and pray that plaintiff talk nothing and for damages in the sum c $6,036.89.
 The jury, after deliberating about tw hours, returned verdict for the defen
 q lnts and assessed damages against tn

A Queer Hold-up.
Lordsburg Liberal.


 Last Friday nightoccurred the funniest hold-up of which there Is any record in this section of the country. At mid night Messrs. Doyle. Plunkitt and Dougherty, three miners working for the New Mexico mining and milling company at Pyramid, came out of the shaft to eat their lunch. The men were wet through but instead of sitting down by fire and eating their lunch they were invited by Bill Caldwell to stand up and put their hands above their heads. As the request was emphasized by Winchester rife the invitation was. compiled with. Caldwell marched them down the road a piece. turned Plunkitt loose and then went on with the other two men. After going about mile Caldwell turned Doyle loose but kept Dougherty still going. Doyle and Plunkitt raised an alarm and soon an armed posse was on the trail The two men were found about three miles from camp and brought in. Dougherty says they heard the pursuers some time before they were discovered but Caldwell made i him keep still Caldwell realized his game was up and tried to get Dougherty 1 to promise not to prosecute him. Cald ! well gave no reason for his action, but Dougherty thinks that fl they had moi been interrupted Caldwell intended to | rob him. Caldwell was taken before Judge Titus Saturday and remanded te i the county jail to await the action of the grand jury and Constable Ownby started [ him for Silver City that night

Homicide.
Lordsburg Liberal.

Last Saturday night Jim Parks and Kirk Esty, who have been working on the round up near Duncan had a quarrel over a game of cards in Duncan. The affair was supposed to have been ami cably settled that night At breakfast the next morning they had a few words, when Esty stepped over the fire and hit Parks in the mouth. Parks jumped to his feet and pushed Esty back against the blacksmith shop, which was simply
 a shed. In few seconds and apparently
 before any hard blows were given on either side they released each other and Esty immediately walked out of the shed towards his bed which was on the out side of this shed. Jim Parks sat down again but only for second for as soon as Esty went behind the side wall where
 his bed was Jim walked out from under the shed and looking the way Esty's bed
 was saw him turn with his six shooter
 in his hands, and all the boys say that 1 Esty fired the first shot, Parks had his six shooter in his hand and taking 1t in botE hands took deliberate aim and no doubt killed Esty. the first shot struck him
 a little above the heart and coming out
 near the right shoulder blade, the sec ond shot struck him ill tt.e center -cf the chest and came out in the 1 back, his third shot missed Esty. Esty shot three times, some say he fired four l Parks went to Solomonville and gave him
 self up. The jury pronounced it justi- ] ficble homicide

 Old man Clevenger and wife were murdered i'll the Buckskin mountains, in this county. on or about May 21, 1877, by Frank Wilson, who was hanged for the crime in Prescott. w. J. Mulvenon was at that time Sheriff of this county, He went from here to Nevada and Idaho, tracked Wilson and those who were with him at the time the crime was committed, swimming rivers, etc., etc., arrested the murderer and two other persons, took them from friends who talked of killing him and rescuing the prisoners; brought them to Prescott without the aid of a deputy or any one else, and was never known to brag of the feat, the equal of which, taking all things into account and the desperate character of Wilson, has not often been heard of. Mulvenon, also took leading part in the capture of that horrible murderer. Dilda, who was also hanged in Prescott He also arrested scores of other hardened criminals, anC for so doing deserves well of all law-abid ing citizens,

Fruit Canning.

The profits of fruit canning in this region are almost incompatible. The production of all sorts of the deciduOus fruits has been steadily on the increase for years. California, from all the indi- cations, is bound to dominate the mark cts of the United States, and to figure largely in the consumption of the people of Europe in many canned and dried fruit specialties. It IS really incredible the extent to which the demand for standard dried and canned fruits grows in this day and generation. As s;I5fc i5 si0 red limit to the production of fruits of the first ex- cellence in this region, 1t follows that all that Is needed to insure a market that will steadily expand, both on this Continent and in Europe, Is the application of capi
 tai. In the proper volume and under in telligent direction there can be no more profitable dedication of capital than to this industry, Tine multiplication of the means of enjoying standard fruits and vegetables in canned, preserved, dried and dessicated shapes, where all their hygienic properties can be preserved and reproduced at pleasure, Is an agency of good to mankind whose force and efficacy cannot be overestimated. IT, in the language of the philosopher, the man who can cause two blades of grass to grow where but oae grew before is henefac- tor of his race, how infinitely more benefi- cent is the man who gives to mankind at trihing prices, the finest fruit of the earth, preserved in almost the first fresh ness of nature? These projects are not only profitable but beneficial in their scope, and they should multiply on every hand The decaying peach orchards ol New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware ought to be replaced by can
 ming and drying establishments in Cali
 fornia, and particularly in Southern Cali
 fornia, which will place our peaches nee
 tarines, apricots, pears and other fruit: and vegetables within the reach of peo pie of the most modest means. This is 6 mission which we are already partially filling, but in whichwe have only entered on the work.--Los Angeles Herald.

They reached Cabor- ca just before Crabbe surrendered, but could not communicate with him in time to enable him to fight his way out and effect junction with them: nor could they make their way to him. They were surrounded by swarms of Mexicans and had to fight their entire way back to the American line. Every water hole along the route was guarded and they had to fight for water. They killed a mule and by filling it's entrails with water managed to carry enough to enable them to avoid some of the worst watering places to get at.
 After that Nicaragua absorbed the filli- bustering element of California and So- nora got a rest.

The Old Dominion.
Silver Belt


 Tbe Old Dominion Copper Company has some important improvements in progress at their mine, which are calcu- lated to effect considerable saving in the pumping of water, grown to be some what formidable factor in the expense account. A Warrington compound pump, of large capacity is now on the road from Wilcox, and will be placed in position in the Interloper shaft, at the seventh level station, immediately on its arrival. Another work of some magni- tude is the driving of a tunnel, about $50 feet long, starting at a point north of the smelter and which will tap the Interloper shaft at depth of about 150 feet. All the water from the mine will be discharged through this tunnel. The saving of power required to raise the water amply iustifes the driving of this tunnel The affairs of the company are in good shape. The supply of ore is abundant, and there Is sufficient coke in the bins at the smelter to last several weeks, in case the bad weather continues that long.

Good News For Yuma.

 The arrival se..Richard Garvey, the well known business man direct from London via the City of Mexico brings Yuma good news While in London, where MT. Gar yey has been since last August. he had several interviews with Sir Edward Jen- kinson, K. c. B., President and the head of not only the old International Company, but of three or four new companies organ ized on the side in order to simplify the great work which the company has in hand. All of the company's mining inter- ests are put under the direction of one great corporation. of which the well known Californian and successful Central Amer ican miner, Col. Wm. Rodda, is the Gen eral Manager. His son, one of the best analytical chemists and assayers, is his | assistant. The financial part of the great work is directly and only in the hands of Sir Edward JenkinsoD, K. c. B., and his advisory board of English capitalists and bankers. The great work of building i the Peninsula Railway and carrying out 1 the irrigation. projects by which the valley of San Quintin will be supplied with the i finest clear mountain water from San Pe- i dro Martin, and the opening up develop ing and the settling of the 20,000,000 acres of land of which the company is the owner. is all left to Randall Pye. the new General Manager and Mr. M. NJ. Mann, his able assistant, both are men of great business ability and fully competent to carry out the immense work committed to their hands. From these fncts it is clearly evident that the ''boy clerk" policy which seemed to characterize the policy
 of the company just after Maj. Scott left

There seems to bs~ah awakening for the necessity of pnshshing Sitting Bull. which may be regarded as simply bosh. We have a distinct recollection of that gentleman's defiant attitude towards this government in 1877, when he was offered pardon for past oifen Ses on condition of his return from Canada and future good behavior, which lie scornfully rejected; nor have we forgotten the subsequent slaughter of whites by Sioux. the mas sacre of General Custer and three hun dred of his men on the left bank of the Little Big Horn River, June 25th, '76, by these same Sioux and surrender August 18th. 1880, at the Fort Keogh, Montana, to the number of 800 to United States troops and of Sitting Bulls return from across the line, in Canada, 800 lodges, in 1879
 That Sitting Bull, or any other of his murderous Sioux. will be punished, we do not credit, for the reason that pa- thetic interest attaches to red handed say ages by those who hope to regenerate the Indian by treaties and christian faith, which by them, are regarded as mere ropes of sand
 The highest type If Indian set forth by Cooper may not have existed at all, and certainly did not exist without glaring defects Superstiti yn pervades their very nature. They believe in curious theories and supernatural influences. They see as they suppose, spiritual signs in the heavens, which are interpreted by the medicine man. and through his insane sights find lodgment ill the brain of greatly interested spectators, and it is one of them. now at Walker Lake. Nev- ada. who poses as 8 Messiah. Although he is said to preach peace he has excited the Indians residing west of the Mis- souri river to that extent that settlers in exposed localities have sought safety in flight, and troops are concentrating from every available point to where war danc- es are now prevalent. and where Sitting Bulls eloquence IS swaying So many of the tribes to engage in deeds of viO- ence.l
 Yes, not only Sitting Bull. but those prominent as sub-leaders should be pun ished, Sitting Bull put to death, and the balance of the malcontents removed near CT the rising sun where they could en- joy the society of Geronimo, Mana, and Loco and other incorrigible Chiricahua cut-throats.
 Indians have made but little advance ment in civilization since Manteo. a chief was baptized in 1887 and made Lord oi Roanoke, the first and only peerag ,reat- ed on the North American continent and yet the same protecting hand is ex- tended by the government and fanatical societies to q detriment of those who cleave the forest and explore the west ern wilderness.
 Some one has said that Sitting Bull must be punished, but is remiss in not stating when aud how it is to be done It may be that he will be struck by light ming, but of that we are not sure, and in consequence of the doubt some other method should be adopted to arrest his baleful career before he is enabled tC seek sanctuary in Canada from whence he can again indulge in predatory in l cursions

It was Accidental.
Lordsburg Liberal.

It will be remembered that some weeks ago the Liberal had an account Of the sup pose1 suicide of C. s. Cooper at Gold Hill Mir. Cooper's brother, w. T. Cooper of Dos Cabezas, Arizona, has been at Gold Hill Investigating the matter and has become satisfied that his brothers death was the result of an accident instead of being a ! deliberate act. Cooper was always care less in carrying a rife, generally leaving it cooked; the bullet entered the lower jaw, instead of the mouth, and judging from these facts the probabilities are strong that Cooper was sitting down with the cooked gun by his side when in some accidental manner 1t was discharged, thus 1 causing poor Coeper's death.
