Mail Wanted.

The people of Wickcnburg and La Paz are indignant at the Post Office Department for the manner in which they are and have been treated by that venerable institution in the matter of mails. Ever since the transfer of service to the IIardyville route, Wickenburg, a place containing population of about 900, has been without direct communication with California, and her business men have had to employ private individuals to carry their correspondence to and from its destination. They have borne with this injustice until pa tience ceases to be virtue, and they now think iitt iEi; time that something should be done for them. The Department ought to, as soon as possible, order weekly service over the oid lou4, from San Ps=sisEeiso, Caiif5T- nia, ria La Paz and Wickenburg, to Prescott, Arizona This would satisfy every body liy- ing on and near said route, and they are justly entitled to it. The route from San Bernardo no to Prescott. ria Hardyville, is necessary one, and despite the terrible hostility of the Indians living upon and adjacent to it, the service has been performed oyer it with great regularity and promptness, but this route does not run within 100 miles of two of the most important towns in the Territory Wickenburg and La Paz. The mail matter for Wickenburg comes over she Hardyyille route to Prescott, lies over until the depart ure of the Prescott and Tucson mail, and is then carried back in the direction from whence it came, a distance of 75 miles. That for La Paz is sent from California to Hardy vile, and is then forwarded down the river by the Hardyyille and Arizona City mail, to La Paz This, it will be seen, is the regular old fogy way of doing things, and should not be allowed by Postmaster General of the United States in this enlightened age. IL might have answered in the days of Franklin, but does not suit at present The people of Wiekenburg and La Paz carry on business almost exclusively with the merchants oi San Francisco, and it is necessary for them, in order to transact that business and keep up with the times, to have direct and reliable communication with that city. Whoever posted the Department in regard to onecessary
 mail routes in this Territory had better post
 himself before he undertakes to do that job again, for it is fact that the weekly nail from Prescott to Tucson passes over nearly 200 miles of the same route upon which the seIni-weekly overland mail is carried while i Wickeuburg and La PaZ are left out in the cold, and compelled to depend upon circuit ous routes for postal accommodations This is economy with vengeance

The Recent Elections.

|" Now, by.St. Paul, the work goes hravcly on, [" and will continue to go on until Radical ism, with all its abomnablc political hcresies, is driven from the land. The people are just beginning Co find out the rottenness, hollow heartedness and base designs of the leaders of the selfstyled Union party, and are every where recording their votes in favor of its annihilation. Its doom is sealed. The foul attempts made by it to elevate ignorant and naturally savage races to political and social equality with the enlightened and industrious white race, the utter disregard and contempt shown by it for the Constitution and laws, its reckless extrayagance of the lives and property Of the people, and its persistent cf- forts to destroy our republican form of gov ernment, have caused the people to say to it, "Thus far shalt thou 20, and no farther" " They have already tied its hands and feet, and will soon finish its career by hanging it to a limb of its favoHte "sour apple tree, as will be seen by ihe following:

Placer Mining.


 As the season is now close at hand. when we may reasonably expect a plentiful supply of water in creeks and pulches that have for several months past been dry, it is time that placer miners were getting ready for work. Our placer mines arc not as rich and extcn- sive as were those of California, nevertheless some of them will pay handsomely, ii proper ly worked. We know of localities where, if a company or companies of men go to work in good earnest and open up claims, they can for several months, and probably years, have the dead wood " on taking out from three 10 ten dollars per day to the hand, and if there are any idlers in this vicinity, we would advise them to try it. The creek known as Black Canon, about thirty miles southeast from Prescott, will pay to work. It is large creek, and contains several good-sized bars, some of which have been partially worked by Mexicans and Americans. This creek for at least seven months of the year affords plenty of water for ground-suicing. The climate, during winter. is very mild. Lumber for sluices would have to be taken from Prescott or whip-sawed in the Bradshaw mountain, which is not over twelve miles from any point on the creek. To work this creek suc- oessfully requires that parties undertaking to do SO should take enough provisions, from Prescott. or whatever other point they might start from, to last them for two, three or four months, and then send their animals to some place where they would be safe from Indians. as it is impossible to work and herd ct the same time. In some bars the gold is'very fine and would have to be caught with quicksilver, while in others it is coarse and might be saved without the quicksilver, but as there is more or less fine gold in all the bars of course it would be best to use quick silver The bed of the creek has never had fair prospecting test, and may be rich in many places. The ranches on the Agua Eric are not over ten miles from any point on the creek, and there miners could buy veg etables at q reasonable price. A good hunter could supply twenty or thirty men with all the venison they could eat. The Indians Apache Yumas-profess to be friendly, and would not, we know, trouble respectable number of men. Black Canon heads in the Bradshaw mountain, and runs nearly east un- til it empties into the Agua FriO.
 Lynx Creek, Big Bug, and Hassayampa crecks-althongh mined out in several places contain spots that when scientifically worked, will pay fair wages, and ;here ara huudreds of smaller crooks an1 ,rulches on both sides of Walker and Bradshaw ranges that can be made to pay.
 In our next issue, we will point out other places, and particularly gulches and ravines, in the various mining districts that VIC think would pay.

CAMP McPHERsoS.-Nearly all the soldiers stationed at this camp, which is on Date Creek, have been sick with the ague aH sum mer, and the officers and men pray for remoy- al from the place. The water used by the troops would kill an American citizen of Af- rican descent, give red-hot iron stove the chills, and turn old Thad. Stevens clean into "bile" They can accomplish no good while they remain at that point, and should, for bumanity's sake if for nothing else, be re- moved to Kirkland Valley or some other place where the poor fellows would regain their lost health and Do less "shaky." The loca- tion, for rendering protection to the roads in that vicinity, is a good one, and troops are needed in that section, fully as bad as at any other point in the Territory, for it is a favor ite resort for bands of murderous Indians. but Kirkland Valley is equally as good point to send out escorts from, which is about all that is necessary to to be dq9e by this post.
