From Mexico

From an interesting letter from G. w. McLane written from Topic the following interesting items are taken {:
 We met the Governor General, L. Romando and found him a very affable gentleman. He had us visit his stock yards and showed us his fine Jersey. Durham and -Polander cows and bulls. He purchased forty head direct from the breeders in the United States for slO,OO0 and he is getting very fine herd. The general owns nearly one-fourth of the territory of Topic and offers good inducements to cOlonists. The soil is quite fertile and they raise two crops of ali kinds of cereals and vegetables without irriga- ton.
 "The city is fifty miles from the port of San Bias and properly speaking in the bosom Of the mountains at an elevation Of about 5000 feet above the, seL Within a radius of one-half to one mIle rises abruptly from the plain great broken chains of mountains 1900 to 2O00 feet high covered with beautiful white pine trees and other valuable hard woods.
 On nearly every side of the city. cool and crystal springs of water rise from clear glossy beds and unite at the north side of town where they form a fine river in which there are cat fish and over which passes a large stone bridge. This is the bridge where St Ana used to march his troops frotc and to the City of Nj ,xico Santa Ana at one time had 30 DO natives in the construction of the great military highway from Los Bios to Mexico. Nearly the entire route is one solid mass of cement and macadamized road a great deal oi which still remains in- tact and good state of preservation.

It is calculated that the dam can be put in place in forty days. Within that period 7oo piles are to be driven, 700,O0O feet of lumber made fast and 10000 cubic yards of rock dumped over all. Every man available will be employed and the great structure completed with a rush. Such results are possible where competent engineering and ex- ecutIve skill are employed.-Hersld.

 THE Huachuca Sentinel voices the sentiment of more than its own indi- vidualism when it says:
 "The commanding officer will un. doubtedly see % it that no more beau tiful groves near the post will be mu- tilsted and ruined next year h. the wood contractor. In justice to the postsand reservation not a stick of wood should be cut on the reservation ss long ss 1t can be obtained at reas- onable cost outside Of it. Every tree is valusble in furnishing shade and protecting the water supply. The cutting Of timber on the noun tain sides that feed the sp'ings that furnish water for the post would soon deplete tie supply tn such an extent that the post will become uninhabited.

IT is within the strong probabililies that within tso years the A. T. & s. F will have an outlet to the 4 < P. from Benson. IL is significant fact that some of the stockholders in the Cop. per Queen mine are also financially interested in the new north and south road. The Copper Queen Co. are represented as icing tired of a contin- ual lawsuit over ne timber cutting in the Chiricahua mountains and that they will look elsewhere after January next for their mining timbers. That the northern part of the territory will be their source of supply in case of a north and south road to Benson is be. yond the question of doubt. The south as well as the northern part oi the territory will feel the beneficial effects oj this new artery Of trade.

THERE are persons who insist that Hardie who met his death in Rucker canyon a year or so ago was not killed by Apaches notwithstanding the fact that the trinkets taken from his body were found on an Indian who was captured and who confessed to the murder. It is this same spirit which breaks out whenever a killing by ApaChes occurs, spirit which has for its motive the s-ielding of the military from blame for not bringing the out laws to justice, and which in the latest instance has the additional object of shielding the governor from possible blame in not protecting the settlers with the means at his command.

 A great many of the readers of the Two Republics in the United States, will miss their copies of June Ilth as nearly all of the i-sne of that date, coming through the Fl Paso postofice contained lottery advertisement and were promptly suppressed. Copies of Fl Partido Liberal" and "La Univer- sal" of the same date and "El Mundo' of the 18th were also suppressed 10; sSHs reason.
 This action was taken by the United States government and is on a plane with the methods adopted by their own government, when an editorial doesn't suit the fancy of the president of the republic or the governor of one ot the Mexican states, They have be- come so used io it that they do not give it a second thought unless per haps to ponder over the boasted free dom Of speech and press in the Uni ted States.

A VI r0ng-

The trappings of the captured hor' ses, lay another socslled Indian outrage" where it justly belongs. Git izen readers recollect the killing of & Tombstone teamster in Mexico a month ago. and the robbing Of his outfit. Among tine effects of Geronimo was a very fine saddle, set Of spurs and bridie. This is now said to have been the property Of the Tombstone team ster.
 The above from the Tucson Citizen is only sample of the idle un:ruthfIl Il talk that is indulged in by army off cers and their friends to make 1t ap- pear that there are no Indians of the reservation, and this at the expense of the white settlers who alone stand the brunt of the depredations commit ted by Apaches. There are men in the army who should consider before they give their consent to the circu latiOn of any such reports, and the Citizen should not allow it's columns to be used to carry any such unreli- able news to the outside world making it appear that our wrongs are imagin- sry, when we protest against the apathy or the government on this Indian question.
 To show the utter unrelisblilily of the Ciuzen's story, all one has to do IS to read the testimony before the coroners inquest to know that there was but one saddle in the party cap tured, two men Of she party riding bareback. The lone saddle is now in possession of Sheriff Kelton, where it has been examined by friends of Catch um who was killed by Apaches- The ieamsters and others who had ridden it and seen it every day for months, declare that it is not his saddle, that the spurs were not his spurs nor is there any resemblance to the spurs or saddle used by Catchum.

The Star says that Paul Hummer of Tucson is driving quite a business in shipping cacti ;o the eastern states and Europe. During the last four months he has exported about 1000 of these succulent plants to parties east of the Mississippi river, principal. ly to New York, Boston and Philadel- phia. He lately received letter from Germany inquiring the Erice of two l0-fOot giants or sahuaros, and as soon as he hears again and learns that his price is accepted he will ship them. These giant cacti are the greatest plant growth curiosity known to Eur opeans and during his residence in Arizona Mir. Hummer has probably shipped enc hundred of them across the Atlantic.

How would it do for Cocbise county to be represented st the Worlds Fair in a proper shape. Call it the Coehise Worlds Fair Association; get up fine collection of minerals and an ex- haustive description of our resources, eli nate, etc If 300 men would sub scribe Sl per month each for the next eighteen months or till June, 1893, there would be the neat sum of $5, 400 with which to make an exhibit, out side of the money appropriated by the territory, which will probably give Cochise $5.00e more. This would give us an ppostunity to push our selves to the front and is worth con- sidsring. When Tombstone or Co. chise county ties itself to the tail of an Arizona kite she is always at the fnrthest end Of 1t and before spendi g money to aid Tucson sanitarium or a Phenix irrigating scheme sbe had better try to place herself where she belongs, at the hssd of the procession.
