You have the country for alfalfa, the climate to grow them rapidly and the area required. It will not be many years before even California will come to Arizona to buy much of her stock. Twenty years ago around Los Angeles hun dreds of head were grazing. The same country is now cut into large and small ranches. and the soil de- voted to raising fruit.

 ABSOLUTELY PURE

From a letter received this morn ing from Mesa it is learned that NJ. J. Forsters and John Miller, of that place, while out hunting stumbled upon the lost Mexican Mine and have located it. It is situated about eighteen miles from Mesa and is developed to considerable extent. The main shaft is down about 130 feet with drifts and cuts running off an 8-foot ledge which shows ore that goes from $4O.85 to S200 and contains gold, silver and copper, An immense amount of ore, judged to be sufficient to load one hundred cars, is on the dump ready for shipment. Mesa City is wild over the discovery and almost every able bodied man there has struck out to the find. The lucky finders are to be congratulated on their good fortune.-Herald.

Railway statistics prove that there are now between 30,O00 and 10000 locomotives in the United States, besides hundreds of thou sands of stationary engines of va rious kinds and sizes. From the locomotives alone it has been esti- mated that as much as 1000 100000 cubic yards of vapor arise each day, 53,OOO,O00,OOO cubic yards per week, quite enough to make a large sized rain storm every eight hours, Taking into consideration the va. DOT sent up from all engines which are now puffing away in the land the total amount belched forth every week cannot fall but little short of 47O,O00,OOO,OO0 yards Surely this is enough to give us the "foods of terror. = Philadelphia Press.

A race of Giant Cannibals. Un. likely as the foregoing sentance may seem -tn snmA -'iIO read It, neY- ertheless it is fact, that there is an island in the Gulf of California, not more than sixty miles from the Mexican mainland, which IS inhab- ited by the remnants of q race of giant cannibals. This startling dis covery was made by west coast naturalist early in 1891, and has since been confirmed by both Unit ed States and Mexican explorers. Mir. McNamara, the scientist refer red to, has photograph of one of the men found by him on the is- land, that individual, although not one of the largest, being over seven feet in height. The island upon which they were found is known as the island or Isle of Leri, and the original discoverer says that there is every evidence of cannibalism to be seen among them.-Ex.

Silver City Enterprise: John Brockman is trying the experiment of feeding cattle on his ranch for the eastern market. This is the first attempt in the direction of competing with Kansas for the sup ply of beef to the eastern markets direct from the breeding grounds. Heretofore the cattle bred in New Mexico have been shipped to Wyo- ming, Montana or Kansas to be fat tened. There is no reason why, with our prolific alfalfa fields, cat tie grown in New Mexico should not be fattened here. MT. Brock man is a close conservative busi- ness man and if the scheme were not entirely practicable he would not touch 1t. There are many here who will watch for the result which is almost sure to be a successful one

Although the wool product for 1893 is 3S,OOO,OOO pounds in excess of any previous year in the history of the wool industry, it is no sign that the country is nearing the point of over production in the sta pie. This great excess came almost entirely from the backs of sheep that had been slaughtered by panic stricken producers, and is more of an omen of the scarcity of the com ing clip. If the Wilson bill be- comes law as 1t is now drawn, it vii! be many a year before this country will produce all the wool it consumes.-Stock Grower.

Some ot the murderous Apache Lare on the warpath again and tn, Apache Kid has left another trai fof blood behind him.
 | Supt. Barnhart. of the Mammotl
 Mine, who is at present in Tucson last evening received a letter from | F. A. Stevens. The letter was writ.
 ten Thursday morning and says that Hualapai Clark, whose name
 is synonym of veracity. came
 into Mammoth at 12 o'clock on Wednesday night and reported a
 desperate fight with band of four Indians at his camp in the Bunker
 Hill district, ten miles east of Nam
 moth. Mir. Clark fears there may be a general outbreak of the Apach- es. The gang is supposed to have been composed of the Kid and some of his followers.
 A visit to William Emmerson's camp, which is located only short distance from Clark s, revealed a somewhat startling condition of af- fairs. There were plain evidences of a raid there. The camp had been despoiled of everything msv- able and was deserted. Emerson is believed to have met his death at the hands of the outlaws, and if the Indians are overtaken by the party of cowboys that have gone on the trail speedy revenge will follow The pursuers are compos- ed of cowboys from Mammoth and sMcKinney's ranch, and they left the ranch at daylight rnuroday morning.
 Clark's camp seems to be mark ed spot by the Indians. Some six years ago the Kid killed Diehl at the same camp. Itis generally be- lieved that the Kid has spent his summers in the neighborhood of the Bunker Hill district. He nev- CT before mOlested the few canpers and they felt comparatively secure so long as they did not interfere with him. The country round in this vicinity is wild and rough the ideal haunt of the hostile In- dian, for it furnishes the most desi- rable places for them to camp.
 The information is authentic on account of the fact that MT. Clark is an old Indian scout of establish ed reputation, and there are grave fears that the lives of some of the miners may be sacrificed. Tele- grams have been sent to Fort Grant for assistance.
 Those who are familiar with the fact that there is considerable es- arrangement existing between the va rlous tribes on the San Carlos Res- ervation say that the idea of gen. eral Apache outbreak can scarcely be entertained seriously.-Arizona Enterprise.
