THE BRYAN COPPER MINES.

The Riverside and Mineral Creek districts are beginning to attract the attention which their mineral wealth merits, and considerable activity in mining is reported from that section. Among the mines prominently men, toned are those comprising the Bryan group, located in the Riverside district, on the south side of the Gila river, one half mile from the Globe and Florence wagon road, and 35 miles from Picacho station on the Southern Pacific railroad, over an almost level road.
 The claims of the Bryan group are fairly we'll developed There is one shaft 300 feet in depth, several from 35 to 100 feet, and many hundred feet of drifts and crosscuts. On claim No. l is the sEaft 300 feet deep showing good ore. Claim No. is opened by drift 40 feet in length and 68 foot winze, at the bottom of which there is feet of sulphuret ore running from 17 to 30 per cent copper and S8 in gold.
 The most important developments are on the Bryan No. 8, which is opened by working shaft 35 feet from the bottom of which extends an incline 88 feet in length; also an mir shaft con- meeting with the northwest drift. This drift, 143 feet, is in body of sulphuret ore % inches to 5 feet in width, assay ing over F per cent in copper. At tho bottom of the incline shaft the north drift has been run "A feet, tapping 5 foot body of sulphide and glance ore. The west drift, 20 feet, 6 inches in length, is also in good ore.
 These claims were recently surveyed by U. s. Mineral Surveyor Colton, and ut the foot of the mountain on four claims there is over 400 feet of ore in sight and blocked out, enough to run q 30-ton jacket over 6 months. The openings are to be retimbered prepara- tory to further development.
 The Bryan group has recently been examined by several experts who pro- n0unce it to be big mine of great vAlne. The property is owned by Mrs. Alfred Kinney, of Globe, Arizona.

 George Smith, receiver for the Hart, Black, Khene < Wiley Cattle Company, was assassina.ed at the Horse Springs ranch, Socorro county, N. M., on the night of April 3. About 8 o'clock that evening two strangers, having the ap- pearance of cowboys, rode up to the ranch and asked for something to eat |. Frank Melville, the cook, prepared supper for them, and after they had finished eating they opened fire on Smith and Melville. Smith was shot five times and killed; Melville escaped to the hills with two bullets in his breast and one in the arm. Smith. before he was shot, recognized one of the assassins az 0 man he had seen a short time before in Arizona, but his identity is unknown. Smith had gained considerable notoriety, having been mixed up in several bad scrapes and had been indicted for murder and discharged. It is supposed that the men who killed him were hired to do the deed by some of his enemies.

aspersion upon our character by & minion of the law charging us with being woodchopper, our more pro- gressive and perhaps less experienced citizens will pardon us for our present conservatism on the question of rail- roads.
 However, We will say nothing to discourage the coming of the iron horse, that avant courier of progress and civilization which is expected to make our mineral ribbed hills resound with the detonation of giant powder and our canyons echo the busy hum of machinery. We yet hope to experience the pleasure of riding on the rail, so cleverly described by John G. Slxe:--

 Rattling over ridges;
 Shooting under arches,
 Rumbling over bridges;
 Whizzing through the mountains,

DURRANT.

At last Durrant, the murderer of Blanche Lamont, stands in the shadow of death. His lease of life will expire June II, 1897, the date named by Judge Bahrs when his light of life shall be extinguished. Durrant is now known in the hands of his keepers in San Quentin as No. 17,260. Almost immediately upon entering San Quen- tin he took his first lesson in discipline "You have pretty place here, said Durrant," glancing at some flowers and speaking to the officer in charge, who reminded him that the rules of the prison are that convicts must not speak to the officers or guards except on prison business, and then they must salute and wait for permission to speak. This was the chilling reminder that he was already dead in law and only awaited change from this terrestrial sphere, June II, to home where?-it is not reasonable to conjecture, ito a home not made by hands, eternal in the heavens.

ABUSE OF THE PARDONING
 POWER.

Robert G. Apsey, who was sent from Pinal county to the territorial prison in 1890 on q ten years sentence for manslaughter, was pardoned by Gov ernor Franklin, April 9, to restore citizenship.
 The crime of which Apsey was con yicted was revolting ono, and he should have paid the penalty on the scatfold. The discovery was made by Capt, J. w. Watson and party of Indian scouts from San Carlos, who were ont after renegade Indians. When the scouting party reached Apsey's ranch, seven miles below the Deer creek coal field, they detected the odor of burning flesh, and in reply to a question from Capt. Watson, Apsey said he was roasting hog. Rowdy, the noted scout, who was of Capt. Watson's party, replied, 'no, it Is hu- man flesh burning" and upon investi- gstion the charred remains of man were discovered. which proved to be the body of one who had worked for Apsey and who Apsey had killed to avoid the payment of upward of slOO that he owed him for work. Apsey was taken into custody, and the Wat son party, with the prisoner, stopped over night in Globe on their way to San Carlos.
 Apsey richly deserved hanging for his inhuman crime, and no plea of good behavior while in prison, or to restore citizenship, can justify the interven- ton of the pardoning power. It has become the practice in Arizona to par don convicts when their terms of i'm prisonment are about to expire, with out much regard to the character of the prisoner or the enormity of the crime. The pardoning power should be exercised only when there is a reasonable doubt of the prisoner s guilt, or upon proof that the sentence was excessive.
 Writing of pardons revives a story Of President Lincoln and Southern oifi- cer, the latter an applicant for pardon for having engaged in war against the government. The Southerner's peti- ton was endorsed by many influential persons, and after much deliberation President Lincoln granted him pardon. Whereupon the Southerner with etfu- siveness thanked Lincoln and added, 'I congratulate you, Mir. President; you are now one of us.

------------------------ MORE WOOD CUTTING.

It is reported that c. Y. Webb, ol Pima, will be arrested for cutting mes quite wood on government land. In talking with Mir. Webb this week he said that he had Q contract to furnish the railroad company with 200 cords, and had 50 cords cut when the U. s. district attorney notified the railroad company to cease cutting wood on government land. AS soon as this notification was given, MT. Webb was notified and he ceased cutting.
 Several years ago the question of whether mesquite was timber or moi was before the supreme court, and il was there decided that it was not. About the first of April, 1895, Mir. Webb wrote District Attorney Ellin- wood in regard to this decision, the answer to which was: "The supreme court have just decided that mesquite is not timber and it is no offense to cut the salne." On this authority Mir. Webb thought he was safe in cutting mesquite until notified to the contrary. Guardian.

 KID" THOMPSON TO HAVE ANOTHER TRIAL.

William H. Thompson, better known as the "Kid," has refused an oppor- tunity to plead guilty to charge of murder in the second degree. and take a sentence of imprisonment for life, says the Los Angeles, Cal, Times. Thompson has already been tried for train robbery, convicted, sentenced to hang and sent to the penitentiary to have the sentence executed. The su preme court, however, reversed the judgment of the lower court when the matter was placed in its hands, and the case was set for a new hearing for April l3.
 Upon the representation of his attor- neys, Messrs. Goodrich & Harris, that Thompson would plead guilty, the prisoner was brought into court but refused absolutely to plead guilty, say ing he would rather die than plead
 
 guilty to crime he never committed. Harris, one of his attorneys, thereupon refused to have anything further to do with the case, and the prisoner relies upon Ben Goodrich, formerly of Phoe- nix, to defend him. Chas. Etzler, n new witness, will be introduced by the prosecution. Etzler is the man to whom Thompson IS said to have con fessed the crime.
 Kid Thompson is accused, and was convicted of participation in the Ros- COG, Cal, train robbery February, 1895, in which one of the train men was killed. He fled to Arizona and Was captured Nov. 13, 1895, in the Mazatzal mountains, near Reno, Gila county, by Will Moore and party oi Tonto cowboys.

OUR EXPERIENCE AS A RAIL
 ROAD DIRECTOR.

Fourteen years ago the people of Globe were more excited over pro- feet to bnild railroad into this rich mineral district than they are today. J. w. Eddy, promoter of the enter prise, was received with the blare of trumpets and beating of drums, and escorted into town amidst an enthusi- astic demonstration on the part of the populace. Meetings were held Tn the Methodist church, and interest reached such pitch that money was sub scribed. goods donated and mining claims deeded, and men who had none of these gave their labor to assist in the construction of the railroad; a party of Globeites, numbering 30 or 40, put in the greater portion of the summer of 1883 digging tunne! into the Mogelon mountains north of Pay son. If Banker could move that hole to Globe wouldn't he have a dandy beer cellar though?
 We were among the most enthusi- astic supporters of the project, and were rewarded by being elected di- rector of the Arizona Mineral Belt Railroad Company, Judge J. R. Por- ter, Dr. w. H. Cook and w. A. Holmes (better known as "Hnnki- dori" Hulmes) being likewise honored. Now all we have left to recall those days 80 bright with promise is bunch of beautifully engraved railroad shares and the record in the Yavapai county court of an indictment charging us with cutting Uncle Sam's timber, la borious task such as we were never in our life guilty of, the hardest work we ever having done being to watch gap in the halcyon days of our youth back in Pennsylvania.
 None of our Globe companions in that alleged theft of railroad ties and cordwood were required to give bonds, but VIC being of n more sinister coun- tenance and athletic mold tour weight at that time being 317 pounds avoirdu- pois.) were compelled to give security in the sum of 5000 for our appear ance in court at Prescott. The proffer of our railroad stock was spurned, and finally our good friends, Alonzo Bailey and W. T. McNelly stood sponsors for ms with the understanding that our feet be blistered to prevent our rum ping away.

 Almost all the steers on these ranges are contracted for, some to Phoenix parties and others to go east. H. J. Banner has contracted for few cattle 100 head from w. H. Fisher and 300 from Sam Taught, of Rye, so hear.
 J. H. Nash Gamers old partner) is in this country and is reported to be buying stock cattle and steers without limit. I hear he is offering SIP all round. There are reports of large stock sales all over northeastern Gila county. in the Pleasant Valley country and down on Cherry creek; also throughout Tonto Basin.
 The grass is very good all over the lower country of Tonto and Rye, but on the Pleasant Valley range grass is backward; some cattle died for want of feed and there is scarcely any there yet.
 A great deal of prospecting is going on all through these hills, and on nearly all the claims there is showing of ore which pans well in gold. Moth ing exciting has yet transpired, but i, will come in time, as surely as rain drops. GrsELA
