The Phenix Herald says that q few deputy sherif9s turned loose would settle the Indian question down this way, and intimates that white men commit all the de-
 relations. The Herald should not judge the white folks of Cochise through the same glasses that it does the Salt river whites. If We had as many crimes committed in this section during the past year as the press of Phenix have recorded during the pas tmonth, we would have called out the militia long age. -Prospector.

During the past two weeks the cattle industry has received q new impetus anl prices have almost doubled what they were three months ago when cattle were drug in the market at two cents per lb. The abundant rains of the past few days cause the cattlemen to assume their old time look of independence and it is safe to predict that the rain which has fallen will carry the cattle through the season safely.- Phenix Republican.

It is reported that a new and rich strike has lately been made in the 'Lavery" mine, eight miles west of Nogales. This is the mine that Chas. Lavery and others located two years ago. Some Mexicans also claimed ownership, alleging that the mine was on the Mexican side ot the line. However LaverY and his partners abandoned the mine or rather ceased to work 1t until the question of exact location could be determined. We under stand that a recent survey is in fa- yor of the Mexicans who are now working it,-Nogales Advertiser.

T!is Yumas Of Cid.

In q conversation a few days ago with a venerable Indian of the Yuma tribe, the following facts were learned.
 The Indian stated that he was born many years before Fort Yuma was ibuilt; that he was a middle aged man when the first white men crossed the Colorado river. Judg- ing from this and his personal ap- pearance he is now about 75 years of age. Up to the time that Mexi- cans began passing through this country, the Yumas had never eat beef CT horsemeat. The principal article of food was the mesquite bean and the pateo seed from which a brownish flour was made and baked into cake-like loaves. The Yumas also ate large quantities of fish and few of the older men de- liz hled in eating rabbits, wild ducks and venison. In lieu of sugar the mesquite beans were ground in- to a powder, which was then put into an olla, with just enough water to make dough, slow fire was then started and the mixture al lowed to simmer for three days, water being added when needed. At the end of tie third day, the fire would be put out and the olla and contents soon cooled. leaving in the bottom of the vessel a golden col ored cake of sweetness, very much like Mexican sugar in appearance. The first sight of horsetieSh that the Yumas saw was when a band of Cocopah Indians came down on a raid and killed several braves. Fights between the two tribes for time were of frequent occurrence, but at last a treaty of peace was made and they have continued in
 friendship ever since.-Sentinel

THR compromise made by the Board of Supervisors and the At- lantic and Pacific Railroad Com pany, about q year ago. in regard to its taxes fer the years 1SSS-'S9, has at last been settled, pending suits dismissed and the money is to be paid into the county treasury with in the next few days. As the set clement neared completion, a differ ence of opinion arose between the Sheriff, who is ex-officio Tax Gel lector, and the Board as to commis- sions. The Sheriff claiming that he was entitled to the same com mission in this instance as in the collection of other taxes, while the Board held he had no claim what ever on the amount to be paid by the railroad company. Which are correct THE HERALD does not pre- tend to say. But Attorney Gene ral Herring, in an opinion which will be found below, sustains the position taken by the Board. Law yers, however. are often mistaken in their construction of the law or at least, the courts so decide. If the Sheriff is legally entitled to his commission in this case, he should have it. On the other hand, if lie is not entitled to it, 1t would be an injustice to the tax payers of the county, for the Board to allow it. We see only one way of settling the matter satisfactorily to all par ties, and that is, to submit the ques- ton to Judge Wells and abide his decision.
 PHENIx, Jan 13, 1892.
 T. s. BUSCH, District Attorney, Apache County-Dear Sir: In the matter of the settlement and ad- justment of the taxes of 1888 and 1889, due your county from the At lantic and Pacific Railroad Com pany, my opinion is that the pres ent sheriff and ex-oflic;o tax coIlcc- tor is not entitled to any fee or com mission upon the amounts paid to your county. The merely admins trative duty of signing receipt that is an act purely ministerial in character, cannot give a right tc compensation which might have arisen during the official term of 8 predecessor in office charged with such duty. The Board of Super Visors can now authorize any per 1 son to sign such receipt in its be- half. No services have been rem dered by the sheriff, or any officer now in office in the premises-and no obligation exists on the part of the Board of Supervisors to pay any money in the matter in ques ton. Respectfully,%
 WILLIAM HERRING,
 Attorney General.

A Sacramento farmer, says the San Francisco Bulletin, who raised 8 large crop of Egyptain corn this year, thinks 1t is without doubt the coming forage plant for interior lands where irrigation is not possi- ble. Its leaves are excellent for stocl, of all kinds. and it's peculiar grain, a little larger Chan a tomato seed, Is good food for horses. Tie farmer mentioned, NIT. Hamilton, has also used the grain for family use, When ground, 1t makes an ex client breakfast dish, much like farina, He shows stocks of this corn about seven feet in height and about oneand one halt inch through at the root. It was planted in clay soil, summer followed, rolling hill land in May last. It was planted in rows and narrowed in, and that is all the care it had until the juicy succulant stocks were harvested. The long, deep, pushing roots of this corn are presumed to be it's chief merit, enabling it to resist drought and grow luxuriantly where ordinary corn corn could not survive.
