Local Intelligence.

pr,SUTs.-As an evidence ot the produc- ,;,cness of the soil in this portion of Arizona, M, c. c. IIigby presented us few days since with large bunch of peanut vines, the roots of vbich were abundantly laden with nuts of ,.rge size and fine flavor. They were raised <, bis garden in this town, and were planted ,,te and watered very little. The truth is, x. can raise anything here which will grow in . temperate climate.
 CoSy TO CALIFoRSIA.-Mr. c. c. Higby 4 and family left here on Tuesday1ast for Cali ' t,,uia by the way of La Paz. We are sorry ,o see our worthy families and enterprising { citizens leaving us, but if they ,oiR go, we can only wish them safe and pleasant journey A and prosperity at the end of it.
 4 srocK STOLEN BY INDIANs.--On Monday night last a band of Indians made descent upon the ranch of Messrs. Cargyle & Ingra- H ham at Walnut Grove, and drove off thirty six head of horses, making, with their pre- vious losses, about 5000 worth of stock K killed by the Indians within the past year E Is it any wonder that the settlers in this < neglected portion of Uncle Sam's domain be- N come disheartened, and leave for countries @sNhere the blood-thirsty red man lurketh not and the scalping-knife Is not brandished '4To our mind it is the most convincing proof of the natural excellence of our Territory that people will persevere in living here in 7spite of the disadvantages under which they labor, and the perils with which they are con =tanty beset. How long, Mcdowell L. Ehow long?
 8 TIE GOVERNOR has appointed c. II. Frazer 70 Commissioner of Deeds for Arizona, to re- <idc at Marshall, Texas and Joseph B. Nones A Commissioner to reside in New York City & HoS. |. C. BARNETT, member of the Lower House of the Fourth Legislative Assembly, sbr Pima county, but formerly a resident sG Yavapai county, sold his ranch last week, End on Tuesday last left with his family, in empany with the Pima delegation, for Tue. |kn, where, we understand, he intends to re- de. We hope Mir. Barnett will find Tacson [ bore to his liking than Prescott, but we have plr doubts---we have indeed. We wouldn't surprised at seeing Mir Barnett back here E Eth his Lares and Peaates next Spring.
 WoRRISGER's wagon train arrived here on ronday last from California, with goods for |yeral of our merchants. It set out to return Tuesday.
 zz To RAISE IA STAKE"- Poland & McCrack-
 Uncle Billy Pointer and others have rented Thunderbolt mill and arastrss at Walkers W Lynx creek, purchased and hired teams, ] D on Monday will commence hauling and &nhing ore from the Deadwood No. g. the 8nter and other good loaes on Eureka Hill is not their intention to keep the mill run E 1hg permanently, but only to crush a few MI from each lode to raise stake n for the ! inter- Their lodes yield plenty of good kk. but while they are obliged to maintain
 bong guards for the protection of their men
 teams against Big Humps ioraging par l thelr "diyis are not large enough to
 rrant extensive operations. When the dis
 Fantages under which they now labor are
 poved, they will show results that will
 pnish and convince all disbelieyers in the
 hness and extent of Arizona's mineral re-
 Irccs.
 HUNTING ExcURsIoS.-A party of fifteen
 tweuty of our citizens started on Tuesday
 to hunt in the vicinity of San Francisco
 pntain. We don't believe there is q man
 the party who can hunt worth cent, and
 will not change our opinion unless for
 se shown None of tAst party can play us :1l lh pair of old buckhcrns picked up in the beri we shall place no credence in any Nc of yenerieH which they may tell, unless
 sta1tial vouchers, in the shape of venison
 ps and bar stakes, are laid upon our ta- . VerJum sap. sat.
