The White Hills Buster, is the name of paper shortly to be issued at the new camp Tn Mohave county.-Pros- pector.
 Going into den of mining men yes terday, the reporter saw large silver brick doing service as a paper weight. If silver keeps going down.. the city council might have a set of solid silver curbstones placed at the four corners of the plaza. It would be an original idea and good advertisement of our silver resources.-Courier. J. s. Carter of tho Algodones has been bitten twice of late by large scorpions, once on the arm and once on the leg above the knee. The former did not cause him much pain, but the latter was very badly swollen and very painful. He cured both with the med icinal herb golondrina, which is a sure cure for the bite of the rattlesnake, tsrantuia and scorpion.-Yuma Senti- mel.
 An effort is being made to secure for exhibition in the horticultural depart ment of the Worlds fair specimen of giant cactus from the desert region of southern Arizona. This cactus grove at times to the height of seventy feet A specimen when boxed ready for shipment will weigh eight tons, and it will require an expenditure of some thing like S2,500 to deliver it in good condition in Chicago. o.-Journal-Miner.
 On all sides daily and weekly are evidences given of this beautiful tribute being most su bstantially confirmed. Today at the residence of Bishop Bour- gade in this city the Rev. Fathers iirard and billy very kindly exhibited punches of different varieties of grapes, also plums and peaches that were re- ceived as & present from the garden of Father Francisco Jouvenceau, in Ph9- nix. The grapes were lovely, and one bunch alone weighed two pounds and five ounces. The peaches and plums were large, ripe and of excellent size. There is no doubt but the fame of Ari- zona will in due time recieve the prom thence it deserves, and the gardens of France, Italy and Sicily will contain no more fruitful spots than. those that blossom, bloom and bear under the mellow oriental sun of an Arizona sky.

 There are symptoms of a drouth throughout the land. This is the only misfortune in the territory which IS not plainly tracesble to the Democratic party. Democracy never uses enough of water, either for washing or drink ing, to produce drouth. If their dirty hands were duly cleansed from all the disreputable grabs made by them in Yavapai county, there wouldn't be enough water left to raise niggerhead cactus. Oh those long, bony, un- scrupulous hands, they have neglected the blow, the hammer, and the plane, in their struggle to transplant br-, bery official robbery. and ballot box stuffing upon the free and gling to establish the same heinous doc trines and ruinous practice here, upon the soil of Arizona, that have bank rupted tho south, loaded :he Nation with debt and disgraced the American name the world over.-Prescott Journal Miner.
 Mounted Inspector G. w. Graham of La Noria, came in Friday morning and reported to Collector Christ that Deputy Collector Reppy of that port
  had been arrested while taking drive across the line with Mrs. Reppy. It seems that Mir. Reppy was at the time without coat or shoes, simply wearing his slippers and had gone out for buggy ride-even neglecting to wear his official badge. Mrs. Reppy was re- leaeed and permitted to return home but Reppy was held. As soon as word reached Collector Christ he called at the Mexican Custom house and Com mandate Chapital sent messenger with Inspector Graham ordering the release of Mir. Reppy. It is claimed that the Mexican force in that locality is composed entirely of new men and that Mir. Reppy being without his badge was placed under arrest. Another version of the affair is that the arrest was retaliatory step occasiOned by She arrest short time ago by Reppy of a Mexican smuggler who was held to hail. The matter ! we understand IS to be thoroughly ventillated.-Nogales Herald.
