complished through long public and private life, and whose hairs have grown gray with honor in every position in life, until attack ed, and that good name handled as trash by one who thought he was out of the reach of law, because he was so near a pauper that he could not be reached by suit for dam age. But the General overstepped the bounds and passed to that point where the great Territory steps in and lays hands on the man in full uniform," and holds him accounta- ble for an offence against the dig nifty of her laws. Had it not been for the kind and forgiving disposi- ton of Ex-Governor Zulick and the Generals ability to dodge behind technicalities, he would have not less than half dozen charges of the same kind against him in this county. "He who steals my purse steals trash, but he who steals my good name takes that which does him no good and leaves me poor indeed" And yet we suppose for this service to his party he is re- warded by Governor Irwin with the position he can use to the dishonor of the Territory.

In Cochise county the average wheat crop is from 30 to 35 bushels to the acre and brings from $1.75 to $2 per bushel. Barley will aver age from 60 to 80 bushels to the acre and brings $1 per hundred pounds. After this crop is harvested the ground can be plowed and planted either in corn or beans or potatoes and another crop raised from the same ground. Oats yield from 50 to 70 bushels to the acre. Land is worth from $25 to $50 per acre and there is plenty of it to be had by simply taking it up under the U. s. land laws.-Prospector.

AN exchange very truthfully re- marks: He who fails to collect his dues frequently fails in consequence to pay his debts, and thus a whole series of unpaid workers may trace back their various troubles to a sim gle delinquent. Such people will say that in the end they pay all they owe but this is not so, for they owe promptness. Without this, jus tice has not been rendered. Tardy payment can never atone for the in jury which may have been infict- ed. No regret, no apology, no add ed interest even, can ever undo what has been done, or restore what by this negligence and indifference has been taken away.

SAYS the Arizona Gazette: To have to appear before a tribunal of justice to answer to the charge of manslaughter or embezzlement, or the theft of a horse, is certainly a humiliating condition for a General to be placed in. But to have to an swer to the charge of libel" and islander is certainly still worse. A man is vile indeed when he can commit any of the above named crimes, but the man who attempts
 to steal from another his good name "a name he holds more precious than gold or silver-a reputation that he has fought q lifetime to keep untarnished and unsullied, as Judge Wright had done, even will ing to lay down his life that his good name should stand forth without a blemish, which purpose he has ac-

An UnexplOrCd Region.

The Salton Lake explorers are likely to make some valuable min eral dicoveries in the course of their travels. The desert region as far as explored has proven a good field for minerals and the careful inves- tigation now being made for the source of Salton's water may result in new strikes of considerable inn portance. In spite of the asser- tions of the many who say they are familiar with the Colorado desert it is a matter beyond dispute that less is known of that section than of any other portion of the coun- try. A large part of the south ern portion of the Colorado desert is still a country of mystery and the Salton lake will result in one good thing at least, and that is the mystery will be unveiled and explained away. The mud and lava volcanoes, hot and cold springs, bottomless pits and yawn- ing chasms, the hundreds of acres of quicksands and volcanic ashes, which are known to exist will likely prove of but trifiing importance by comparison to the discoveries which are likely to be made, Dur ing the year 1879, Cocopah Indians brought into Lerdo to George E.. Bateman specimens of rich cinna- bar rock and also some of the ore in the form of powder, which they said existed in the country adjacent to the sulphur mine. An effort was made to find the place but it proved unsuccessful, nor has it been dis covered yet. The Indians, with all the superstition of their race, re- fused to act as guides and in an off hand way directed where the mine or deposit lay. Large nuggets of of gold have also been brought by Indians at intervals from the desert region, but the placers have never been found. Even if the parties now out should prove unsuccessful in their efforts, others will be or ganized, the history of both the woe and the wealth of California's Col orado desert will be published to the world, and with the data se- cured properly arranged will make very interesting and instructive reading.-Yuma Times.

THE Examiner, with it's usual en- terprise, fitted out an exploring ex- petition to find the source of the Salton lake, which was eminently successful. There is now no doubt but the Colorado river has con. cluded to resume its old channel and that permanently. The only mystery now remaining to be ex- plained is, that the Colorado is fall ing, while the water in the lake con- tinues to rise.

When the people of the north and east and west come to under stand that Arizona is land of al- most perpetual summer, that two or more crops can be produced from the same soil annually, and that all fruits grow most luxuriant- ly, and that crop failure is unknown when the soil is under irrigation ; when these and hundreds of other kindred facts become known there will be mighty tidal wave oi farm CTS pouring into the southwest and the farm lands of Arizona and New Mexico will be in greater demand than in any other section of the United States.

Mr. Mcbride, representing the Y Cattle Company on Eagle Creek, started from Bowie with a lot of blooded bulls for his ranch about week ago, and camped near Solo, monville on Tuesday night, Mir. Mcbride stated that up to that time 20 head out ot the herd had died from the effect oi the heat. This will be heavy loss, but will serve as lesson for the future that will prevent. others from trying 10 move bulls over our deserts during hot weather. They are large, fat and clumsy, and no wonder they are unableto stand such drives.

MOrmOnS in Mexico.

Chicago, July 14.-M. Lopez, an extensive mine-owner of Mexico, says that the trouble with the Nor mons in Utah will be repeated in Mexico in a few years "In the States of Chihuahua and Sonora" he stated. "the Mormons are mak- ing extraordinary progress. There are over a thousand Mormon fami- lies in the valley of CorYalitos, in Chihuahua, divided into different colonies. The colony of Diaz is the largest, and has been establish ed seven years, They are trans forming the wilderness into a gar den. The families are all prosper ous and eachyear put enoughmoney aside to extend their irrigation ditches. Besides digging wells, the people of Diaz colony bring water from the mountains for irrigation purposes. The Mormon Colonies at Juarez and Dublan are also quite prosperous.
 "The transformation made by the Mormons in this section of the country is bound to make the States where they live the most productive part of Northern Mexi- co. Their products are sold in the near mining camps, and on the ex- tension of railroads in that region an unlimited market IS promised. The North Mexican Pacific Railway through Northwestern Mexico, is progressing rapidly. From Deming, N. M. to Palomas the road is all ready for the rails. This will ena- ble the owners of coal mines to place their coal on the markets of the Pacific coast at much less fig ure than is now asked. Great is the progress made by Mormons, and as soon as their numbers are in- creased I fear a conflict between them and the native Mexicans."

SHORT-sIGHTED POLICY.

The Watchmdn takes occasion to sum
up the policy enacted by Vermont
through its Legislature, and by part of
the press and people, called out by
filings as untrue as the inuendOes are
''far fetched" We transfer it all to our
columns to show in one panoramic word
picture the utter fOolishness of people,
who act almost entirely from motives of
prejudice and also to emphasize the just
ness of the BANNERS advocacy of the
work of the late Immigration Bureau"
as follows:
A Vermont correspondent. of the Bos-
ton Herald writes that paper that great
difficulty in getting the ''abandond" or
'unoccupied" farms of the State taken
up sis the neighbors about them" He
has repeatedly, he says, ''sent people to
buy these places, and they have always
been discouraged by those in the vicinity,
who persisted in running the places
down, accompanied by statements
that everybody in the vicinity is
trying to get away. The people are not
only discouraged, but they are very
short-sighted."
Taking a hand in the discussion of the
taxproblem, the Burlington Earth finds
the only true remedy for burdensome
taxation in an increase of population, and
adds:
1T was in accordance with this wise
and statesman-lille view of the case that
Commissioner Valentine and other far
seeing men in the State inaugurated the
plan of bringing in the Swedes and 9th
eIs, just as many of the prosperous West
em States have been doing; butt seems
that there is so much of the narrow
minded prejudice against, and unreason-
