THE brigands Of Turkey may yet be the cause of bringing about collision between the Empire of the Sultan and the French Republic. They have just captured two wealthy French residents of Turkish province and demand a large sum for their ransom. The French ambassador has laid the mat ter before the Sultan, and if the Frenchmen are not promptly released aniBjured, French ships may pass the Dardanelles, where a Russian fleet will not be long in joining them.

That the output of Tombstone above the water level took the lead of any Arizona camp.
 That on the 600-foot level of the Grand Central the ledge was better de fined thaH above that point. That 40 odd feet below the water winze on the southern end of the claim was in fine carbonate ore when tine pumps collapsed
 That the ore body uncovered on the 800 foot level of the Sulphuret where water interiered was fully 50 feet wide with smooth and well defined walls sloping outward.
 That the Contention below water level revealed in it's three lodges combined width of 4S feet of ore that would be pay rock for reduction at the mine, and that from winze on one of the iedges drift ran in ore 60 feet. Also that specimens were taken from below water l-yei in this property which went upwards of Sl6,- 900 a ton in gold and silver.
 That the general development of the eastern part of the district demon- strates conclusively that sn immense ore body exists below water between the surface crSpPings of the Grand Central-Contention belt on the east, and the West Side-Lucky Cues belt on the west and north. the only prob lem being the valuation of the ore below the water level.
 That work on Fifth and Bruce streets show bedrock at 5l feet; 1000 feet further north, bedrock does not show in the Christmas shaft at leo, and HOO feet still further north 300 foot shaft on the Cortes was still in cement, showing the rapid dip of the formation between the apex of the first hills south of the city and Walnut gulch where the immense wash from the mountains has doubtless covered the bedrock several hundred feet deep, and that as there is no reasonable theory on which to base change of formation between the developed ground south O! Allen street and the undeveloped ground to the north there is every reason to believe that the underlying limestone is scanned with the same rich ore that was ex- tracted to the south.

As just ibu r tO the merit Of our camp, and eritlcIsm on inaction, the following from the Arizona RePubli- can is well worthy of careful perusaL Speaking editorially, the Republican says:
 "The great richness Of the Tomb stone mines on the surface, while great advantag ct the start eventual ly proved disasrrous, as things had gone on so prosperous and so easy, the owners of the mines were literally paralvzed when a real trouble con fronted them. When the lower work ings reached water and it's extent was found to be considerable, Tombstone simply threw up irs hands ard capitu- lated. There never has been anosher case where such marvellOusly rich mines have been practically abandon ed as has been the case in Tombstone. It has always been a matter oi sur prise that mines which have paid mil. lions of dollars should be allowed 10 remain idle. A cooperative associa- ton couli certainly accomplish the reduction of water, and after the water was once pumped under control, the expense of holding it there would te comparatively small. But whatever is done, should be mutually borne, and not saddled on the few, as was done at the first attempt 10 control the wate,. It is to that selfish act that Tombstone mines owe their ? res ent inactivity.
 "It has been a matter ot surprise that a large combination of capital has not long since sec Jred control of the whole camp, and handled the msgnifi- cent mining properties known ro be there, as one great enterprise. Such an undertaking would come nearer duplicating the results of the Com stock than anywhere in tine United States.
 "Let us suppose, for instance, that a strong financial syndicate of California mining men secure the control of ten of the largest mines of rombstcne, and organized them into one great com pAnv on the assessab.e plan, does any one doubt for 6 moment but that de reiopnsent would he pushed tO depth of at least Of z0OO ieet7 The total out pdt would be something enormous and the water would be easily con- trolled.
 aAll a first class live California would want, would be the guarante' of profitable ore below the water ana this is an established fact in Tomb stone. The stockholders would go or paying assessments for years, in crde to open up the vast chambers Of uB- told wealth that lie below the Con ,entiop, Grand Central and otbe equally great mines. It would seen that no effort had been made to worl these promising mines after the hrs serious trouble wa encountered. ] may truly be termed s case withon parallel

LESS than two months from to-

food height. The waters of that
river will come down into the Col
orado in torrent-like volume, over
flowing the low lands and destroy
ing property which has not been
prepared for the pass &c Of the
water. Last spring Yuma felt the
force Of the CHA river. ThouS-
ands of dollars were lost and hun
dreds of people made homeless.
Had there been a substantial ievee
on the east side of town, along the
slough and ella, bat little damage
would have been done. There has
been a little work done on the
town levee, not enough to keep the
water from running into the
streets Of Yuma when the ella be-
gins to rise. 1t is time that some
thing is done for protection from
the approaching high water. Lee
this matter be attended to at an
early day, or a repetition of last

TEeE rgCs0S TARIFF.

Phoenix and Tucson merchants
have had consultation recently,
about the "!obber's tariff" and
now all seems to lie serene. There
is however something that tho
commercial men OF those cities
have forgotten AMI that is, Yuma
may have some objections to the
tariff. And as matter Of fact,
Yuma does object to the unfair
discrimination made in favor Of
the city of Tucson. Yuma does
not ask any favor.; it only wishes
to be put on an equality with
Tucson, AZ far as railroad freight
rates are concerned. Our mer-
chants are barred under the Job
ber's tariff" from selling goods to
ella Bend, Harqua Hala, the Mo-
hawk valley and other points east
of Tacna. Under the so-called
tariff, Tucson merchants get a rate
which permits them to ship goods
-1S9 miles for a price, in some cases
so per cent less than Yuma people
can send merchandise a distance
of 60 miles. The injustice of the
rate given is apparent on its face.
1t is manifestly unfair, and Yuma
appeals to the railroad authorities
to either give it a rate formulated
on the plan of Tucson's rate book,
or to annul the jobber's tariff and
let the charges for freight be rails
ed as the distance increases.
