The silver benefit. says the Phoenix
Gazette, was largely attended Friday
evenin. A series of entertainments for
the same laudable purpose should be
held In the near future Arizona wants
free silver and statehood. Both of these
would follow the election of Bryan
and Sewall. There is work for the
people in the territories to do, even
though they cannot work.
The Indian Industrial school at Tucson
VIII open September lst. with Superin-
tendent Herndon in charge. There will
be 1875 pupils in attendance this year
under the supervision of eleven teachers
or heads of the various depaT tments.
The superintendent has 30 acres of
ground which will be cultivated by the
boys with profit. Last year. says the
Star. ten Indian girls were furnished as
domestics toTucson families. all of whom
gave general satisfaction. as they are
honest and Industrious. 1t is doubtful
If any Indian industrial school with the
same number of pupils can show such
good record at the Tucson mission
school.
A cattleman named James Clemins
who arrived in Phoenix Friday. reports

The Tucson Star says there is likely to
be trouble on the San Pedro. Persons
along the river above Mammoth are ap
prehensive and prepared for emergen-
cies. For long time parties of Indians
numbering from eight to twenty have
been wandering alon gthe river Larger
parties, however. have put in an appear

acorns. Most of them are armed and
we'll supplied with cartridges. 1t is not
expected that the Indians will do any
damage more serious than running off
stock, but the settlers are prepared to
settle with them at their first break.
There is some talk of starting another
newspaper at Prescott. Rumor had it
that it might be weekly and independ-
ent in politics. The Courier makes the
following warning: "If newspaper men
were fixed like Nebuchadnezar. the
move might be a good one, as grass is
not quite so short since the recent rains.
Even should there be free coinage of
meal tickets at ratio of sixteen tickets
to one typo, the thing might do. But as
neither of these much-to- be- e-desired
conditions exist, there will be general
tightening of belts to take up the vac
uum in the printing office peoples
bread baskets if the third paper invades
this newspaper range"

seems Los Angeles is a great place for
