WE clip the following from the Albuquerque Democrat of the 18th ultimo: As has been anticipated, the United States grand jury have returned indictments against $. B. Folsom, president of the suspend ed Albuquerque National bank. In their final report to the court yes terday they reported that they had found three true bills as follows l: One for embedding a note for $8500 given by the Horse Springs Cattle Company to the Albuquerque Ma tional Bank another for issuing a fraudulent certificate of deposit to the Merchants National Bank of Johnsonbury, Vermont. The third charge is for issuing a false and fraudulent order on the Albuquer- que National Bank, of which he was president. It was expected by the accused that indictments would be found against him, and he was present in court with his counsel, Neill B. Field, when the grand jury brought in their report. His coun- sel immediately arose and stated that his client was ready to give bond, and asked that the amount be fixed by the court. This was done in the sum of $10,000, and was soon after filed with the clerk of the court with the following as sureties: Neill B. Field, w. P. Met calf and F. w. Clancy. The defen- dant will this morning be arraigned and the date of trial set, His eoun- sel expressed himself as ready and anxious for a speedy trial, but as the docket is already over-crowded and the court funds are running low, it is not at all likely that the case can be heard at this term of court. It will probably be a long, drawn out trial, as the defendant, in spite of the many criminal
  charges which have been preferred against him, is possessed of numer- ous friends who will rally to his rescue and render him all possible aid.

A Colorado writer states that the entire product of silver, coined, would be but SIP to each individ- ual. If all the bullion purchased under the Sherman act were coined at once it would only give $40 to each person, which in the present crisis might stave off starvation from unemployed labor a short time. He believes that the country might at the present time, when over $150,000,00O of money has gone out of circulation, without ex- cessive imitation endure the infic- ton of $150,OO0,OOO in silver.

Lying on either side of the Colo rado river between Yuma and the gulf, there are 5O,OOO acres of wild hemp. At the lowest estimate ever made, it will produce 500 pounds of the dressed fibre per acre. This will give 25,OOO.OOO pounds equal to 12,5O0 tons or 1 1,25O car loads of 10 tons each. At , cents per pound the lowest price ever offered for it, the revenue will amount to $1 ,250,- 900 The cost of cutting and pre- pairing with freight added is esti- mated at S5O0,O0O. The freight from Yuma to San Francisco would amount to $S7,000 and that from the hemp fields to Yuma S30,000. This Is another source of revenue for line of river steamers.-Senti- nel.

With the announcement that the great turbine wheels of 5000 horse power, which are to be put in place, to develop electrical power at Mag ara Falls, have arrived on the ground and are to be placed in po- sition at once, that the million dol lars already expended promises a never failing power of tremendous force at a cost, with which steam power can never compete; comes the opinion expressed by some of our best electrical engineers, that the time is close at hand, when the magnificent power exhibited in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, will also be harnessed for develop ing power that will convert the arid plains of northern and central Arizona, into gardens, orchards and fruit groves and fields, as we'll as furnish light and power for our miners and mills and for the grand manufacturing establishments that will spring up along the Colorado river.-Arizona Sentinel.
