Sabe? Miners are flocking to Signal, a mining camp in Mohave county, Arizona, where a boom is expected on the starting up of the new ten-stamp mill. Virginia Chronicle.

It might be so, but we in this section of Arizona have not as yet heard of it. There arc two new coons in town, and they are birds, one of whom plays the bones and the other the banjo. And they sung all the local songs of the day. Mr. Pascholy entertained thepeople oi the Occidental hotel this afternoon with singing by the coons.

Yesterday afternoon a couple of miners got in a little dispute at the saloon of Herman Leptein, on Allen Etreet when the doors were closed, and the fighters allowed to proceed. After thumping each other for some time they both being out of mud the fight was declared a draw. A petition is being circulated" in this city praying the appointment of Mr. John P. Clum as Indian agent at San Carlos.

In Cochise county the petion was signed by everyone regardless of politics, as it is believed that Mr. Clum's record as a former agent warrants his reappointment in the interests of the peaceful government of the reservation Indians. Citizen. The closing out sale of Summerfield Bros, has kept Mr. Lesser Summer-field and his clerks so busy, that Mr.

Lesser Summerfield re-engaged Mr. Allan Walker to assist him in this grand sale. The many friends of Allan will be pleased to again meet him at the store. Ladies should not forget to call on Summerfield Bros, as this is a bona-fide closing-out sale, and geods can be purchased below cost. The following bill was introduced in the Utah legislature last.

week Section 1. Be it enacted by the Governor and Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Utah, that it shall be unlawful for any person to peep through any keyhole, crack, aperture or other opening Without consent of His Excellency the Governor. The attendants at St. Paul's church ore to be cougratulated upon having a rector of such rare force and brilliancy as, Mr. Haskins.

His sermon yesterday extemporaneously, was a magnificient effort in logic, eloquence and fervor, and if the reverend gentleman fulfills the promises made by Bishop Dunlap, as well in his management of the church as he has in force and ability in the pulpit, St. Paul's will not furnish accommodations sufficient to hold the congregation drawn by this able divine. It is to be hoped that Mr. Haskins will meet with that benefit to' his health which he seeks in the climate of this country. Trouble at Fairbank.

On Saturday afternoon last, a man, name unknown, and a Mr. Wilson, proprietor of a saloon at Fairbank, had a little scrapping match. The former gentleman claimed that Wilson struck him over the head with a chair. Constable Letson arrested Wilson and he was tried before Justice Smith, and fined $15 or 'fifteen days in the county jail, Wilson not paying the fine was brouget to Tombptone and placed in the county jail. Wilson before leav ing Fairbank placed one Thompson in charge of his saloon, who as near as a reporter of The Tombs lone could learn, got drunk in the evening, and going down to the store of Paul De-Martini met Justice Smith and bruised him up pretty badly.

Smith left the store, and went in the direction of his office, Thompson following him and continuing to beat him. Smith when in front of his office slipped in and seizing a shot gun, turned and fired it at Thompson, the contents entering his left arm. Word was immediately sent to Sheriff Hatch, who went down to the scene of the shooting. Shortly afterwards Dr. Dunn went to Fairbank and tended to the wounded men.

Mr. Thompson was brought to this city yesterday and placed in the county hospital. It is thought that the wounds are not serious. Mtn pre and HXail liOst. On Wednesday last when Al.

Card- well; driver on the Black Canyon road, reached the Agua Frio, this side of Gillett, the stream was badly swollen, and not being acquainted with the eccentricities of Arizona floods (having but recently come on the line) he drove into the stream, and by an accident succeeded in reaching an island in the middle of the torrent. By the most strenous effort he succeeded in releasing his horses from a pile of drift in which they landed, and with such facilities at hand, lines, brcast-straps, hitched the wagon to a large tree. The water in the stream was risiing rapidly at this time. Mr. Card well turned one of his horses loose, which swam safely to the other side, and mounting the remaining an imal which, although loose, refused to follow its mate, succeeded in crossing the stream.

Subsequent increase of the flood carried away the stage and all the mail. To-day Mr. Cardwell returned to Phoenix, bringing with him the assuiance from witnesses that he had exercised every precaution to save the mail, and that in staying with his team in order to extricate them from their dangerous position, had even en dangered his own life. This after noon a special coach will be sent out with the mail, and in a day or two the service between here and Prescott will be running smoothly. It is expected that the coach and mail lost in the flood may be recovered down the stream, now that the river has sub sided.

Previously it has been a dead weight, requiring a considerable amount of money to make up the deficiency, but for 1885 the road has paid all operating expenses and inter est account, and had a surplua at. the end of about $40,000.

The Apache Trail. The long record of Jour Indian hostilities contains no so full of peculiar difficulties as is that which continually goes on with tho several bands of Apaches. It began as soon as they were near enough for a collision, and it can hardly be said to have ceased at any time. The waterless, treeless, burning levels of rock and sand break down the horses of pursuing cavalry. They receive a trail but fainly, and it soon disappears.

They are bordered or broken by mountain ranges, whose rugged slopes arise from the very sand, and whose passes are known to the red men, but have been little explored by the whites. A further complication of every attempt to bring the Apaches within the control of our very efficient and devoted military police is the vicinity of the Mexican boundary line. Beyond that political barrier United States cavalry may not ride, and it is rarely possible to secure the cooperation of Mexican armed forces. In fact, the Mexican states bordering New Mexico and Arizona have been so desolated and weakened by the depredations of these savages as to be no longer able to do much for their own protection. Such troops as they at times gather are said to be but little feared by the Apaches.

Tho most vigorous and persistent trailing and hard riding is baffled by tho Rio Grande or the lanthaks further westward, which informafcwnrnand-ing officer that the dim he is following have crossed the frontier. The vast regions exposed to the operations of the Apaches can not by any absurdity be considered "their country." They are not all desert and mountain, but contain rich agricultural areas, as well as valuable mineral deposits. That settlers will venture deeper and deeper into the land of danger, is one of the certainties of American enterprise and daring, but each exploring party, each ranch, each drove of quadrupeds, offers another temptation to chiefs like Geronimo and born raiders like his followers. It is probable that the greater pait of their exploits is unreported, but that which is known is sad enough. All honor is due to the army officers who have had this trying and thankless warfare in charge.

They have moderated and restrained the vengeful wrath of the settlers, while they have made the best use possible of the limited forces at their disposal. Tho difficulties of desert and mountain trailing have been overcome in part by the employment of the Chiri-cahua band as army scouts. They are Apaches precisely like the rest, no better, and are all looked upon as "coyotes" by such tribes as the Sioux, Cheyennes, orNavajoes. Even physically they are inferior in size and strength, and are for the greater part of mixed race. For three centuries, in their raids upon the Mexican tribes, they have carried the women off as booty, like the horses.

As the settlements increase in number and population, the need of protection increases, and the capacity of the settlers for self-protection becomes a positive assurance that they will act with increasing vigor, and not always wisely. The Apaches must be suppressed but the fighting to be done should be under the intelligent control of regular army men, amply supplied and re-enforced as they never yet have been. Harper's Weekly. Communicated. Take Courage.

The friends of "No Tax" may not be aware of the fact that the law requires a two thirds majority of the votes cast to carry the "tax yes." This majority they cannot get, if the large real estate owners will stand together and work dilsgently. Let us appoint a committee to solicit subscriptions to a fund this proposed tax levy. We had better pay ten dollars each to defeat it, than fifteen dollars after we are beaten "Real Estate." liOSt. A valuable letter from Foit Bowie, addressed to J. R.

The robber expected to secure $800, probably, as that amount was shipped from here to Pinal on the same stage. But it was not in the express box and he missed it. There were two passengers aboard the stage, one armed with a shot gun and the other with a rifle. The robber did not disarm or disturb them. After the stage had passed an hundred yards or so beyond the robber "Nick," the driver, told the passengers to give him a gun, drive on with the stage and he would go back and take the robber in while he was breaking open the express box.

But the passengers demurred, saying they had paid their passage and desired to be driven into Pinal at once. Yet, during the afternoon one of these passengers had informed the driver that the rifle he (the passenger) was carrying had been presented to him by Pinkerton, the great great detective, as a token of regard for his valuable detective work in the pursuit of the noted Missouri outlaws, the James boys. Beside this, during the afternoon Mr. Steven Bailey, who was coming down to Florence from Silver King, stopped the stage to get a drink of water. When he reined up his horse and Nick stopped the stage team the Pinkerton detective and his partner levelled their guns at the former under the pretense that they supposed he was a road agent.

After this little incident Nick felt safe against robbers, supposing, of course, he had a pair of fighters from Fighterville aboard the stage. Later, when the genuine road agent confronted them, gun in hand, Nick smiled a satisfied smile and said to himself, "Alas poor robber, a moment hence your remains will have to be swept up and glued together to make a respectable looking corpse," and his heart thrilled with sorrow for the poor unfortunate who had unsuspectingly placed his carcass in front of two well-manned batteries. But Nick was a victim of misplaced confidence. No sound disturbed the quiescent night, no smoke of battle shut out the light of the "diamond-lit lanterns by angel hands out hung." This robber was not one the detective passengers had lost. They did not know him, had not been introduced to him and did not care to shoot a stranger.

A dramatic journal publishes a letter from an aggrieved manager, complaining that the rinks by affording cheap evenings' entertainment, are thinning the audiences of the regular theaters. He is evidently actuated by dog-in-the-manager spirit.

We hear of nothing but roller skating, and the opening of new rinks. Bazaars, chapels, furniture warehouses, picture galleries, and even old Saddlers Wells Theater, have had to yield to the fashion and transform into homes for the new amusement. Everybody rinks. Of the London rinks, Prince's is the most fashionable and exclusive. Ne lady is admitted unless she has been presented at court, and the gentlemen constitute the flower cf aristocracy.

The Princess of Wales is a frequent spectator, and the Prince of Wales was frequently there while in England. Many ladies of position, not eligible for Prince's, go to the Chelsea rink. It is the largest covered rink in London. The Oxford Circus Rink was opened last Monday. It presented a gay appearance with its festoons and flags.

The attendance was large. Lords Ranelagh and Westmoreland skate here. Lady Falkstone, who skates at Prince's, and several American ladies have attracted especial notice. At the Royal Avenue rink may be seen Lords Petersham, Charteris, Marquis Clan-curry, Sirs A. Scott, Henry English, C.

W. Gerald, the Hon. W. Stanhope, and others of note. I paid a visit to Brighton to-day.

The rink in that city proves to be a greater attraction to the public than the celebrated aquarium. A fine band of music gave romance to the poetry of motion. Here Lord William Lennox is seen inflicting the story of Waterloo npon Sir Seymour Titzgerald and the Earl of Chirchester. Up comes Commodore Ashbury, of yachting, fame, like a Mercury on wheels, General Shute and two other members of Parliament are holding a caucus, and Captain Wallace, the patron of coaching, passes like a flash, having abandoned Pegasus for the flying wheels. The ladies skate beautifully, and take to the sport quite naturally.

Viscountess Forbes and Lady Wentworth may be seen gliding gracefully among the throng. As a fashionable exercise for ladies, there is nothing so well adapted to the development and display of a fine figure, and in no way can a lady present eyl elegance and grace as when circling about on skates in evening costume. As this accomplishment is now becoming a very important part of every young lady's education, we design to make it a feature of the "Boudoir," presenting from time to time, whatever may be of interest to the beginner, or new to the experinced skater.
