PAYsoN POINTS.

To THR BELT: Summer rains have set in in the Payson country and there is hopes of good crops and fat cattle. The market is overdone with fruit, melons, vegetables, butter and eggs. The Globe market need have no fears in regard to winter potatoes and apples, for this end of the county will be glad to supply them.
 Mining is still improving in this dis trict. J. I. Coleman's little 2.stamp mill never has an idle day except when the owner (who is the justice of the peace) is called away to perform a marriage ceremony. as was the case last Sunday, July 4, the happy pair being Fletcher Beard, a cattle owner of Tonto Basin, and Miss Nellie Pyle, formerly of California. The bride was very handsome in her gown of spotless white, and the groom-well, who could be otherwise than hand some with happy, loving, trusting face. May it never change. Their many friends join in wishing them a long and happy married life.

THE FEDERAL COURT.

As was to have been expected upon the appointment of new judge, the question of the location of the federal court of the second judicial district has been again raised. The fact that Judge Doan is resident of Pinal county encourages the hope among the people of that county that he will favor the return of the court to Flor ence. The only color of claim to such prefernent appears to be that Florence has a fine court house and good jail. Unless the people of Pinal county can advance stronger reasons for the location of the court at Flor snce, we do not think they are entitled to consideration. The Graham County Bulletin comes to the defense of Solomohyille, where the federal court has been held during the past year, and argues that the majority of cases coming before the court originate in Graham county, and that Solomon vile is the location most convenient for witnesses and jurors, and possesses the further advantage of being access ible by rail. It is we'll known, how ever, that Solomonville has poorly constructed court house and lookup in connection with it that is called a jail only by courtesy, which necessi- tates the employment of guards, day and night, whenever there are impor- tant prisoners incarcerated.
 Our contemporaries, the Tribune and Bulletin; in their eagerness to secure the prize to their respective counties, appear to have overlooked the fact that Gils county is part of the Second judicial district, and may be able to advance claims superior to those of either Pinal or Graham coun- ties. Gila county occupies the central position in the district, and the Bulle- tins assertion notwithstanding, the majority of United States cases origi- nate nearer to Globe than Solomon vile. Most of the crimes within the district are committed by Indians, or by proiligate persons who sell whisky to the Indians. Residents of Globe are law-abiding people and do no aspire to notoriety in the criminal line yet it is a fact that most of the crimes coming under the jurisdiction of thu United States are committed on thu Indian reservation and nearly all tho witnesses come from the San Carlos agency, 2S miles from Globe, and fully twice that distance from Solomonville. We have a court house that answers the requirements and jail that is secure. Globe also offers better hotel accommodations and a climate superior to either Solomonyille or Florence. And to quote from the Bulletin, "the probabilities now are that before another federal court term Globe and Solomonville will be connected by 6 railroad" and Globe will then be equally as accessible as Solomonville. The federal court should come to Globe.

The United States geological survey has issued statement of the mineral products of the United States for 1896 and corresponding figures for each year since 1896. The total value of all minerals IS placed at $621, ,969, ,943 for 1896 against s622, 2,6s7, ,66s for 1895, The non-metallic minerals for 1895 were valued at $339, TIA, 4,O29, and for 1896 at S334, 1s7,374 Metallic min erals for 1895, S2sl ,9l3, ,639; for 1896, S2se, 7s1,570. The greatest increase in value of the metals was in copper, which for 1895 was valued at $3S, ,6S2, 347, and in 1896 at $4s, ,694. 267.

THE RIO GRANDE.

In the injunction suit brought in the United States district court at Silver City, N. M., with the view of having the Rio Grande declared a navigable river, Judge Bantz rendered decision dissolving the injunction. The Rio Grande is upwards of 1900 miles in length and at convenient distances along it's entire course from it's source in Colorado to Matamoras, at its mouth, is fordable. Even at its tsmouth, the deepest part, history relates that General Arista with 6000 troops. after the battle of Resaca de la Palma, were driven back and forced to ford the river, thus establishing the fact that the Rio Grande is nayigable stream for sootnen. On that occasion the only casualty attending the fording of the river was the result of a shot fired by General Zachary Taylor's com mand, which carried away the cantle of General Ampudia's saddle and caused him to take water in the middle of the stream and wade ashore, and in consequence he W ct the hem of the tail of his shirt.

Philip Lashley, colored, who was hanged last Friday at Tucson for the murder of fellow soldier named Saun- ders, at Huachuca, April 13. 1896, met death with the utmost bravado. It was rather the stolidity of the brute than the stoicism of the philosopher, however. The most remarkable thing in connection with the Lashley case was the telegram sent to President Mo Kinley, asking that Lashley's sentence be commuted to life imprisonment, which was signed by United States District Attorney E. E. Ellinwood, Governor Franklin and Judges A. c. Baker, J. J. Hawkins and o. T. Rouse, and which request the presi- dent very properly refused to grant There was nothing brought out in evi- dence at the trial of Lashley of an extenuating character. He richly de- served hanging and the propriety of men occupying the highest official positions in the territory preferring such a request may properly be criticised.

The general adoption of the third rail electric system by railroad com panies for the suburban service, as predicted by prominent railroad man of Boston, means a great deal to the copper industry, since it will enor- mously increase the consumption of that metal. When it is remembered that every foot of third rail track laid requires, at the lowest estimate, one pound of copper, you can figure ont for yourself what an enormous de- mand will be created for the metal Every mile of the third rail track that IS laid requires five tons of copper. Put two and two together and try to figure out the probable result that the adoption of the new method means tc the copper metal market.

PINTO CREEK MINES.
A Region Tributary to Globe and RIci
 in Gold and Copper.

Philip Oates, M. E., who is cole Ct ing data for the committee on mines and mining of the Globe Commercial Club, kindly furnished us with the fol- lowing notes of his trip through the Pinto Greek district last week. One of the principal properties visited is that of the Pinto Creek Mining and Smelling company, comprising several gold and copper claims situated on Pinto creek, IA miles west of Globe. Development work for the group has been chiefly done upon the Yo Tambien claim, upon which there is a tunnel on the ledge 125 feet in length, showing ore for the entire distance, and at the end of the drift looks especially well. Above the mouth of the tunnel l5O feet shaft is being sunk on the ledge, and is now in fine ore at depth Of 35 feet This shaft will connect with the tunnel at a depth of 60 feet
 While the showing made is excellent, the mine could be opened to much better advantage by tunneling from the canyon, below the mouth of the present tunnel. The location is an idea one. The millsite is situated at bend in the creek 550 feet below the tunne opening, and the ledge which crops along the side of the canyon pitche, into the hill at an angle of 45 degrees. It is calculated that tunnel started 5C feet above the millsite would strike th. ledge at about 250 feet and woald giys at least 900 feet of stoping ground above. The ledge is strongly defined and varies in width from three to fiy, feet. The ore is quartz containing gold, silver and copper glance, ant some very high assays have been ob tained, but the ore on the dump, be tween 200 and 300 tons, is probably fair average of the ledge and assay from S20 to S25 in gold. Mir Date considers it one of the very best pros poets in the district.

An attempt made to reduce the wages of white miners on the Rand, South Africa, resulted in riot, in which seven men were killed, and the mine owners have abandoned the scheme of reducing wages. The rates were about s day and reduction of about 10 per cent was proposed. The miners have since formed union.

There is dispute going on between the mine owners and mill owners of Cripple Creek over the prices charged for milling low grade ores. There are at Cripple Greek immense bodies of low grade ore in the mines, running from $5 to S10 ton. which cannot be handled at the prices charged. Some day it will all be worked.
