A Bloody Proof.

Gus Hickey came in Saturday night from his mine in the Guadalupe noun tains. He brought with him a veet which was covered with blood from the collar to the bottom. the lining of which was completely saturated. Hickey, it will be remembered was the only one of the three men who escaped in the re- cent fight with the Apaches in which Bridger and Robinson lost their lives. After he went back to the mine from Tombstone he followed the trail of the Indians and found they had camped that night-after the killing at Bakers corral, about five miles from the killing. Here he found the vest which the ln- dian had on which Robinson thought he had hit, and which he undoubtedly did severely wound in the neck. The most startling part of the story is that there are at least three men of undoubted yer acity who had been with Lieut.. Clarke's scouts while he was in that neighbor- hood, who will swear that it belonged to one of the scouts with whom Hickey had had some previous trouble. Hickey has the vest at Bisbee and wishes the Pros pector to state that Lieut.. Clarke can have it by applying for it.-Prospector.

The Copper Mining Industry.

Notwithstanding the enormous con- sumption of copper, the high prices which ruled during the year 1890 had the effect to stimulate production to such an extent that the close of the year found large stocks in producers hands, and the pressure caused by a de- sire to realize, and the disinclination of consumers to buy, has caused the mar ket to slump, and although the price has declined 21z cents per pound for Lake, there appears to be no stability to the market nor assurance that before the opening of navigation oH the great lakes copper will not suffer a further decline in price.
 However the price now ruling (1412 for Lake) would seem to be modefat te figure. and as the consumption Of cop per-in view of the unparalleled expan- sion of electrical manufacture, and the growing consumption of copper in other industries steadily increasing, a price nearly approximating that figure may be reasonably expected to prevail during the ensuing year.
 The Engineering and Mining Journal gives the production of copper in the United States in 1880 at 278,610,O00 pounds, far exceeding any previous re- cord and supassing that of 1889 by s. O34,OO0 pounds. To Montana mines is credited by far the largest proportion of this increase. while Arizona distances all former records. The Anaconda mine made the unprecedented output of 64, ,046, ,812 pounds in 1890, gain over the ol Q 000 000 Ac The production of Calumet and Hecla, 48,6+0,029 pounds in 1889. Arizona cop per mines increased their output almost 100000 pounds, the United Verde, in Yavapai county, and Old Dominion Company, of Globe, being the only ones showing any considerable gain, the Clifton mines falling of in production more than 3,OOO,OOO pounds. To Ari- zona's production must be added almost 100000 pounds produced by the Buffalo of Globe, not taken account of.
 Notwithstanding repeated assurances through the public press that the stocks of copper accumulated by the defunct French syndicate had been all absorbed, 1t now transpires that more than 21, ,O00, coo pounds remain undisposed of, and stocks of copper in the United States have increased 100000 pounds during the year. A hopeful feature is the fact that stocks in Europe have steadily de- creased during the past year, and We will, doubtless, be able to find a market there for much of OUT surplus metal.
 On the whole, the outlook for the cop per industry for the ensuing year is not discouraging. While the decreased price may cause the stoppage of some of the small producers, yet consumption will be increased, and much gained from more stable market, an advantage readily appreciated.-Silver Belt.

Death Attributed to Pickles.

In commenting on a recent case of death attributed by coroner's jury to the action of pickles which had been eaten short time previously, the Lon don Lancet says: ''There was here an evident connection between the alleged cause and it's effect, but some further explanation is certainly desirable. Not withstanding the naturally stimulant property of these condiments, this is, to our mind, insufficient in itself to &C., count for fatal choleraic diarrhea. The facts of the case are much more sugges- tive of the introduction of some irritant poison. The vinegar of pickles has fre- quently been found to contain metallic impurities, notably copper, derived from the vessels used in their manufacture. Corrosive sublimate and other irritants have also been detected, and the pres- ence of some such mischievous addition should probably be blamed in this case for the fatal issue"

Back Again.

Again we have the pleasure of an- nouncing the appearance of the fsvorite Royce & Lancing Musical Comedy O.. This is one of the few amusement organ izations which is an honest pleasure to commend to the public. They have al ways kept faith with the pubic and have received in return the public's most hearty support and praise. A pri- yate letter from MT. Ray l.. Royce, says: "We remember with pleasure our for mer visit to your city, and the cordial welcome extended us at that time. We return to you with a larger and stronger company than ever before and pro- gramme of exceptional excellence, one which will practically commend itself to those theatre goers who delight in performance at once artistic, laughable and refined" That MT.

The Mexican Treatment.
Prospector.


 A small band of Indians known as the Seris tribe have been giving the mil itsry authorities much trouble in Son. ora for six months past. The govern ment wisely concluded to arm the civ ilans who knew the haunts of the rene- gades and with the help of the troops under Capt. Mendez, General Henriquiz and General .Carrillo the surrender of the hostiles was accomplished after Gov. Corral had promised them all in hls power if they would obey the laws. A we'll informed writer in the Nogales Record relates the balance of the story as follows. "The Indians were then established on the different haciendas tc which they belonged and instruc tions were given to the proprietors by the government to give them every pro- lection and the best treatment possible; endeavor to induce them to weak, and to give them just remuneration for their services; also to report any further signs of rebellion. Food and clothing were also distributed amongst them by the state government.
 This move by the government has thus ended the ''Seris War" of 119O without violent measures, or the spil ling of blood having been found neces Sary.-

Starting Seeds by Electrioitx,

It appears from the results of series of experiments recently undertaken in Russia by N. Speonew that electricity may eventually be made to play a prominent part in agriculture. These experiments, which extended over five years, showed that by submitting diff ferent seeds to the action of an electric current their development is rendered more rapid and complete The seeds of haricOt beans, sunfowers, winter and spring rye were used. A second series of experiments was made with pot herbs and towering plants at Kief. The influence of the electrical treat ment was shown by larger crop and by the growth of vegetables of enor- nous dimensions In third series of experiments electricity on large scale was applied, static electricity being used instead of current electricity.
 The results were quickened ripening and larger growth. Barley ripened twelve days sooner with electro-cult- ure. Potatoes treated in the same way seldom showed disease, only O to per cent. being bad, instead of 10 to 40, which is the usual percentage. An i'm pOrtant factor in this treatment is that vines which have been subjected to it possess immunity from phynoxera, and this points to a new means of combat ing the microscopic diseases which at tack vegetable growth. It is suggested as a weapon with which to fight the potato bug and the army worm. The cost of the process is comparatively =.na1. Eugene Field in Chicago News.

Killing the Maori Women

Hitherto we have been told that tn, vices introduced by white men are de. populating the South Sea islands, but now it appears that white women are responsible for the rapid depopulation oi New Zealand. When female mission aries went among the Maoris they in sisted that the Maori women should wear clothing. The latter could not be ill. duced to overcome their prejudice against skirts. but discovering that the missionary women wore corsets they decided that the latter was a garment not wholly devoid of merit.
 The result Is that every Maori woman now goes about her daily work neatly clad ID a corset laced as tightly as ths united efforts of half dozen stalwarr warriors can lace it. Being unaccus- toned to tight lacing the women are dying off with great rapidity, and the repentant female missionaries now re- gret that they ever asked their dusky sisters to consider the question of cloth ing Paris Herald

A PIucky Young Amerfcs1 Yes Become
 Rich Developing Them.
 William Miller, a young American with world of pluck and very little money, left here three years ago to ex- plore some mines that had been located for him at the head of Yaqui river, 12O miles west of Fl Paso, Tex, and about the same distance from the Arizona line. He took with him three carpen- ters and professional hunter, who was also a prospeetor. He has returned with pocketful of money
 He says that his party, after wander ing ten days in the Sierra Madre and enduring incredible hardships, reached the point for which they had been aiming. Miller, who claimed to have derived his information and a map from an old German who died here five years ago, says that they pitched their camp between the eastern and middle forks of the Yaqui, It is country under the dominance of a tribe of Indians that even the Mexican military force has been unable to sub due, and has been hitherto barred to the entrance of any metal seekers.
 They found an old Spanish mine that was especially rich in ore streaks and worked there for two years. One of the carpenters died before the place was reached, and the others built a bin, a furnace and some derricks. They worked two years and took out about S30, 900 worth of silver, which they managed to snelt after a fashion, and which they stored in camp. Then another of the carpenters died. The third was drowned bathing in the river while freshet was on.
 Miller described the mine as some thing alto ether wonderful. The seams of precious metal ran along the roofs and sides of corridors that were made by hands that had crumbled into dust before George Washington was born. Miller and his company found their way to the Mexican Central railroad and went to the capital There they saw the official and claimed the mine, which was started by old Spanish ex- plorers and settlers more than 200 years ago. They formed company in which some Boston people were inter ested, and are now taking out S1 900 worth of metal day. This stuff is shipped to smeltinS works in Colorado. Miller has married Mexican wife since he left here, and is apparently very wealthy. His company is called the Yaqui Mining and Land company. He states that he has never seen finer farm ing territory than that which forms the banks of stream that is almost alto gether unknown to the whites, and that President Diaz is much interested in a scheme for cOlonizing it-San Antonio.

After 8 review of the pres ent condition of the territory ln which he mentions the necessity for rigid economy and reduction where even pos sible in the expenses of government, the acting governor turns to the financial question. He says: "The most serious question, in my judgement, which you have to consider, is the

 And this question undoubtedly out weighs in importance all other matters combined that Will occupy your atten- ton, I shall devote very considerable part of this message to its presentation
