rood FISHERIES.

No inconsiderable item Of the natural
resources OF this region is its fisheries,
and the canning OF salmon, as noticed
elsewhere, is profitable and growing in
dustry. The salmon are large, plentiful
and of unsurpassed quality. Some OF the
diierent varieties are caught at all times
of the year, and the home market is
always supplied. Rock and tom-cod,
white bass or porgies, founders, halibut,
and herring are also plentiful. Smelt and
American sardines are taken in great
numbers. These are the fish of CONNER
cial importance, but does not include
trout which are found in abundance.
Among shel-fsh are shrimps, crabs
and CLAIMS of several varieties. HOLSTERS
have been planted here and are propagat-
ing very rapidly.

Almost every great storm aud over flow is sad to have been the greatest and most destructive, but the late food cannot be truthfully called suct- The most destructive storm within the rec election was the forty days aud nights rAln which occurred in May and Jnas of the year 1S45.

A Musasrevs pasx,oan.

A cutting scraps occurred just before 1 o'clock this afternoon, which may re- cult in the death of Wm. NcCrea, sporting man. The man who attempt ed the murderous deed is Mexican, who has been at work on the Prescott and Arizona Central. railroad, bu, wh0ss name could not be learned.
 Owing to the serious condition of the wounded man, the JouRSAL-MINER was unable to learn his version of the edair. and the most persistent snqui- ries among thoss who were in the i'm mediate vicinity resulted in failure % obtain any light on the affair.
 It was learned however that the Mex icsn had made threats this morning that be intended to kill Ben Belcher before night. He also drew knife on Jesse Philips. against whom with Belcher he entertained q grudge, on sc- count oi the interference of these two, sometime since in which they prevented him from ssssulting an old man. At that time Belchsr shot at the man and Phil ips alec intsrisred, for which act he ssems to have sworn vengeance against both of them.

The party will outfit at Will cox anu start early in April. They will travel on horseback and use burros for carrying their baggsge-all in charge of an experienced chief.

self and returned with the intention of killing him, as he would have been Ius- tifiabIe in doing, if the murderons threats were made. which he alleges, and which are confirmed by others as we'll as by the subsequent actions of the Mexican. Previous to his return how ever he had vented his murderous spleen on McCres.
 The latter received two knife wounds, one in ths left breast, the knife striking the breast bone and producing an ugly but not deep or dangerous gash. The other was in the right side of the back, and is by far the more dangerous of the two. and may prove fatal. As soon q the deed was committed the Mexican ran away and hid in sn outhouse near Granite creek, where he was discovered by . precinct constable, and ordered to throw up his hands.

4 sess ss warning.

A correspondent, writing from Chi cAgo, who Is unknown to the JoUR- SAL-MIsER, but who claims to have formerly resided in Arizona, furnishes the following startling information, which may be of interest to army com trsctors:
 "I met man to-day who gave me an item of news which will no doubt interest many ol your readers. He in formed me that syndicate had been formed here for the purpose of bidding on all government contracts, as grain, hay, wood, etc., in fact all the supplies and also the transportation st the forts in Arizona, New Mexico, San Diego and Los Angeles-cslling the places the sAriEona Military District The in- tention is to bid 20 to 50 per cent lower than the present prices. They will bring in all improved machinery and do the work ct from 60 to 65 per cent lees than it is done now, thus gaining from 10 to l5 per cent in all-- about $a5.000.-control the bids for two or three years until all the home contractors are run out, then they will mske Uncle Sam pay whatever they wish. This year they will not bid on the beef, but by this time next year will be in . position to get cattle. Several grain buyers of Ksnsas are in the scheme. and all grain will be ship ped from there.
 "I lived in Arizona and New Mexico several years ago. and thus write that the people may be on their guard and bid low enough. Go at the very least 50 per cent below present prices. l have written to seve.al papers in your country, so as to stop this little job."
 The above letter seems to have been written in oandor, but we can assure the correspondent that when that Chi cago syndicate tackles the job indics- ted by him. of bidding from 9 to 50 per cent below present prices of Ari. sonA contrsctors and undertakes .o get even on their biss they will have to dis cover or invent some greater improved machinery for filling their contracts than have yet been invented. The competition for all kinds of supplies, transportation, etc., in this department is already 60 great that but little mar g;n is afforded to the successful bidder, and while there may be . syndicate ir existence as outlined in the above let ter, it can effect no revolution in the matter of furnishing any supplies with out entsiling . loss on it's members.

Timber Culture Law.

By reference to . synopsis of the new general land law passed March ,. lS9l, and published ia this issue. it will hs seen that . very important change has been made in the Timber Culture law the lax itself being repealed, e to future entries under it. The rspes . however, does not affect those now in existence, but legislation is more fsvora' bic than before, particularly for Arizona. In the Prescott land office there have been filed l2s Timber Culture entries. Of this entire number. not single finsl final proof has been made. iu some instances the land has been taken in order to hold it for . number of years, no effort having been made to comply with the law. In many cases, however, work has been prosecuted in good faith to comply with the oondi- tions of the law, and it has resulted in failure, and parties have been compel led to abandon their claims. There are . few who are still working in good faith with every prospect of sucoess in fulfilling the requirements of the law and of obtaining title under it. The important amendment to the law e to existing entries is this: "Any person who has made entry Of any public lands of the United States under the simber-culturs lave, and who has for period of tour years in good faith oom- piled with the provisions of said law and who is an actual bona fde resident of the State or Territory in which s.it land is located, shall be entitled ( make final proof thereto, and scquir' title to the same, by the paymen of $1.25 per acre for such tract, unds such rules and regulations e shall bs prescribed by the Secretary of tho In | terior."

One ot the other party tried fer nearly . day to get shot at them with''s rife, as they wsre wild, and they had no hopes of getting within shotgun range.

 Superintendent Jones, of the Prescott and Arizona Central railroad, ooncsn- tratsd all the motive power ol the road on Saturday in moving freight, there being about fifty car loads sccumuis- ted at Prescott Junction during the wsshout period. An A. ( P. engine was engaged in hauling it to Chino, while the Prescott & Arizona Central engines were ct work ou this end of the line. As No. 3 was coming in Sstur- day night car load of beer spread the track and left the rails, near Willow creek, causing delay of several hours. They succeeded in getting on the track about daylight. and had proceeded less than half mile when it repeated the operation, delaying tho arrival of the train in Prescott until about o'clock p. m. Immediately on its arrival two engines were sent out again, and about 10 o'clock ct night No. 3 returned from Chino with delayed psssengers, mail and express.
 Our contemporary this morning phi- losophixes considerably on the question of the award for printing territorial re- ports. in which its office is eulogiEsd ss one of the most complete between St. Louis and Los Angeles. Without any dispAragement whatever as to its cs- pacity for doing work, there are at least six offices in the territory equally well equipped for doing all kinds of work. Its talk about the legislative commit tees good intentions in the matter is simply buncombe. as the only motive governing their action, as can be clear ly seen on the face of it, was simply that of partisanship, and wholly inccn- sistent with the professions of economy so loudly proclaimed ever since the opening of the session. Were a repub- lican majority in territorial legisla- ture to let a printing contract at more than twice the amount of bid from s democratic paper there would be no end 10 the howl that would ga up. As this paper had no interests in the contracts, having presented no bid, it csnuot be accused of being preiudiced in the matter.
