We hereby notify our friends and the public generally that from this time forth we will cease to sell for credit on. any terms whatever. We are aware that in order to do this we will have to sell cheaper than our neigh bors, and we are prepared to do so. As we are building we are very much pressed for cash, and therefore it will be better for us to sell for cost than to sell on ever so short a time, no matter how good the buyer. The facts ip the case are just these: It is a necessity with us to have our goods or to have the wherewith to buy more. Of course we do not expect to do so much business, but we are de- termined to do what we can.

 Our Lumber Yard is now full and nearly com plete.

'Tis not to sit and idly wait


With folded hands for tardy Fate
To bring the gifts that one might prize,
And cast before his sleepy eyes
To wait the coming of the ship
Whose sides unto the stern waves dip,
That bears, with love and glee and song,
The treasures we have craved so long.
It is to do whate'er we find
To SOW the seed to reap or binds
To gather, though the yield be small,
With our hand the bright sheaves all
To search and find the golden mean,
And hold 1t with a hand serene.

A fortune-hunter in the Black Hills in describing some of the episodes there thus alludes to the recent capture and death of the Indian known as General J Scott:

 Our camp had mystery which the cutest could not unrayel. Tools, pro- visions, gold dust, clothing, cooking utensils and other truck were stolen away in the slyest manner and in spite of the closest vigilance. A ravine, hay ing two or three feet of water in it and crossed by a bridge, divides our camp, and it was at length concluded that the thief must come and go by this dark road. One night guards were posted along this ravine, which then contained thirty inches of ice cold water, and the night freezing one. Soon after mid night an alarm was raised, and the guards fired upon some man ~or animal coming down the ravine into camp; but owing to the darkness the unknown got away.

 A lazy, greasy old "Lo,r nicknamed General Scott, was driven out of our camp at the close of winter for stealing, and had been frequently seen on the have dared the ravine and its rush of ice water for what he could steal, but it was believed that General" Scott would, and that he was the thief. Pre- parations were therefore made for run ming him down. Twenty-one miners, all well armed, turned out on the hunt Half a mile above camp we found the "General's trail, or the spot where he had descended and ascended the ravine.

 After slow and careful hunt, in which we traveled about a mile and half, we suddenly got news of the ''Gen- eral." He had discovered us, knew our mission, and was bound to have the first shot. His bullet plowed furrow along the scalp of a miner named Chalmers, from Pittsburgh, knocking him over and laying him on the shelf for while The Indian was jubilant at first, but it was not ten minutes before he had to skip. He knew that he was surrounded, and yet he was game. When he swarmed out he opened fire with revolver, driving three men to cover, and next we knew he. was crossing valley for the shelter of the timbered hill beyond

 The Indian knew the risk he ran, and as he flew across the valley he zig Zagged his course to embarrass the rife men ready to fire. When called upon to halt he uttered defiant yell, but was next moment struck and brought down. When he fell he rolled into sink-hole and was again at bay, having a freshly loaded revolver in his hand. The yells Ol Clle miners were answered with shouts of defiance, and it was plain we had not won the fight.

 After brief consultation five of the miners made flank movement to gain a point overlooking the sink-hole. This point gained, they could pick the Indian off with their long-ranged rifles. This left fifteen men in body, and while most of them were sitting down the General" suddenly rose up and ad- vanced upon us, hobbling dreadfully on his wounded leg. He knew his fate, and he was ready to die game. He was within pistol-shot before any one moved, and he blazed away as fast as he could Chas.

The new mill at Tombstone was started up Tuesday evening and run for four or five hours, to the admira tion of all the miners in the neighbor hood. Ii is described as running like Ia clock at every point. The water now at its lowest annual stage. and about which fears have been frequent ly expressed, proved to be more than sufficient for every demand of the ma chinery. In the course of a week the batteries will be hammering away al the Tombstone rocks, " for better or fer worse" The moment when the gates were first drawn and the water rushed in upon the wheel of that mill was one full of destiny to the Tomb stone and to all Southern Arizona, and we congratulate the gentlemen having the enterprise in charge and whose boldness, activity and skill have brought it to its present stage of readi- ness for work. For once there is in this county a complete quartz mill, without endorsements, manned by and honorable men and having for its supply bodies of ore both rich and abundant.

It is rather pleasing to notice how gradually and naturally large interest are gravitating toward Tucson. Re cent improvements and developments, the coming of the railroad, &c., have combined to make for us a busy. thrifty city. Now we notice a general and very natural inclination to move Department Headquarters this way. Maricopa is mentioned, but Fort Low ell is the more suitable and probable location. This is only seven miles from Tucson, in an excellent locality and on the line of the great southern trunk line railroad This dispositionto move south has already been noticed by the Prescott journals, If they de- serve the dignified term) and they are making all manner of WHY faces. They quite outdo themselves in their vivid descriptions of the alkali flats and hills of drifting sand, which lie south of the Gila. They call us saints '" when they mean frauds, they speak about this great wrong" and plum dering the public treasury" just as though we could prevent the natural course of human events. But never mind, we have read ridiculous things before. They don't hurt.

We shall receive them cordially and treat them kindly-when they deserve it.

The question is frequently asked

 why more rapid development has no

 been made in several of our best known

 mining localities Large results have

 been expected. not only in the open

 ing up of lodges, but also in the pro ductiou of bullion, and in these par ticulars very few have yet realized their expectations. Arizona stocks do not command the same confidence in Philadelphia and other Eastern cities to-day they did two years ago. The reasons for this are obvious. That a large number of valuable lodges have been discovered in Arizona no one doubts. Even those hostile 10 our best interests admit that we have i'm mense mineral resources. What then is the troubles 4 majority of those whose good fortune has led them to the discovery of valuable property have been of that class whose means did not permit them to perform the work necessary to show the real merit of their claims. Others have located for the simple purpose of speculation. The idea of development has not vet entered into their plans. Many of these mines have passed into the hands of real estate agents and mining spec ulators who have placed them on the eastern markets, and in more than one instance have obtained thousands of dollars upon false representations. Mines have been sold and the money furnished 10 purchase and erect expen- sive mills upon property which had been most elaborately represented, but upon which there had been the least possible amount of actual develop ment. Several of these swindles have been successfully carried on until after the mills were actually put in opera tion on few stray tons of ore. In fuential business men in varions parts of the Eastern, Middle and Southern States have already lost large sums of money upon the false representation Of Arizona mines The evil results which follow are but a natural and just consequence.

 In this manner a large amount of money has been expended and but lit tie work accomplished. A few rogues have made some money at a great sac riice to the Territory at large, and those friends on the outside who were willing and able to assist in our sub stantial progress have been defeated and defrauded.

 The Silver King, McMillen, Conten- tion, Tough Nut and Lucky Cuss serve to illustrate the results of indus try and the honest investment of capi- tai These'mines are not manipulated for speculation, but for legitimate proceeds. The Silver King and Me Millen Companies have always stood on a solid basis, and the developments made on the Tombstone properties have already claSsed them among the most promising properties on the coast

 Arizona has many lodges of great value, and what we need and what we must demand is simply honest repre- sentation, honest management and honest labor. The frauds should be exposed and discouraged on every hand, for they bring but few and transient benefits and leave sad and lingering consequences. Our mineral resources have true merit. and true men and true means will secure their speedy development to the satisfaction of all interested.

While handling sponge in its prepared
state, as we see it in the shops, it is difficult
to believe that it belongs to the animal
kingdom. Sponge, however, is not the ami
NAL itself, but only the skeleton or Frame
work, as it were. That which constitutes
the living portion of the animal is removed
in preparing the sponge for market. The an
imal proper covers the frame work and is of
jelly like appearance, like that of other
low forms of animal life. Various openings
and channels allow the passage of water
through all parts of the mass, and the gela-
tnous portion has microscopic hairs, which
are capable of rapid motion, aud by their
means water is forced into and out of the
sponge. When divided the living sponge
seems to suffer no Inconvenience, but each
| part sets up on its own account, lives on as
if nothing had happened and it becomes two
sponges.


The best sponge of commerce is found in
the Mediterranean, and is known as Turkey
or Smyrna sponge; this is obtained by div
ers. Bahama or West India sponge is coars-
er, and is sold at much less price. Much
sponge is gathered off the coast of southern
Florida. Indeed the Florida sponge fisher
les furnish employment to many men and
boats.


The spongeis gathered by means of large
pole, with two and sometimes three hooks
upon the end. This is thrust down into the
sponge, which can easily be seen in clear
water at the depth of thirty feet. As the
fisherman must see the sponge, he can sue
cessfully work only in clear and smooth
water. They obviate the roughness by
throwing upon the surface oil made from the
sharks that abound in these waters, or by a
pane of glass set into box or bucket. This
they place on the surface and use as spy
glass. The large schooners come to anchor,
and send out small boats to fish ; but when
the wind is not too strong, the smaller craft
sail boat with man on the forepart, on the
lookout for the sponge; they also have their
small boats. The sponge, after it is gather
ed, is allowed to remain in the sun for two
or three days to die. The gelatinous mat
ter that is in them decays, and they are then
, washed, bleached and baled for the market.

own genus. The negroes take some up and
these begin to weep and cover them with

by the hand to lead him off, the nearest
monkey will cling to the one who thus finds
a support and endeavor to go on also. An
other will grasp at him, and so on until the
| negro leads a staggering line OF ten or
dozen tipsy monkeys. When finally brought
into the village they are securely Gagged up
and gradually sobered down; but for two or
three days gradual diminishing supply of
liquor is given them, so as to reconcile them
by degrees to their state of captivity.

A woman to the holy father went,
Confession of her sin was her intent
And so her misdemeanors, great and small,
She faithfully rehearsed them ALL
And, chieite.t in her catalogue of sin,
She owned that she a tale-bearer had heen,
And borne bit of scandal up and down
TO all the long tongued gossips in the town.
The holy father for her other sin
Granted the ab'olution asked of him
But while for all the rest he pardon gave,
He told her this offcnse was very grave,
And that to do fit penance she must go
Out by the way-side where the thistles grow,
And gather the largest, ripest one
Scatter It's Seeds and that when this was done,
See must come back again another day
To tel him his commands she did obey.
The woman, thinking this penanoe light,
fastened to do his will that very night,
Feeling right glad she had escaped so well.
Next day but one she went the priest to tell
The priest sat still and heard her story through
Then said, There's something still for you


to do;


Those little thistle seeds which you have sown
| bid you go ther, every one"
The woman said, "But, Father 'twould be var
To try to gather up tn ose seeds again
The winds have scattered them both far and


wide


Over the meadowed vale and mountain. side.
The father answered, "Now I hope from this
The lesson l havn taught you will not miss
You cannot gather back the scattered seeds,
Which far and wide will grow to noxiou


weeds


Nor can the mischief once by scandal sown
By any penance be again undone."
