MT kavena, R E. Elliott Q. Allen and Dr. Moeler stand prceminent Mrs. Campbell Mr. Alien and MT. Elliott will soon have ripe straw DerfleS and perhaps apples and peaches. In the country, wherever one goes. the same eyiden- ces of industry and civilization are to be met "''h' Nearly every farmer in the county has hlce orchard planted with apple, peach and other fruit trees. At the Quartz Mountain Saw. mlll one mile south of town, there are annie and ! peach trees that will bear this year. In the vii cinity of the Point of Rocks. Mcssrs. Clifton. Ed Bowers, Mitchell and others have thousands of Fruit trees and grape vines planted. which are getting along finely. The same is true of tho l people Of Wickenburg, Phoenix Walnut ,Grove. and the Agua Frio Mr. Lambcrtson. of Walnut Grove, will, we are told, gather a large crop of peaches this year. We are glad of this. it speaks volumes in our favor, Just think of it-a coun. try not yet inhabited five years by white people, hundreds of miles from civilization. bleeding at every pore from the attacks of the hostile say. ages, and yet, on every hand are to be seen neat | dwelling houses splendid fields of grain sur rounded by neat and substantial fences. Who says we have not progressed? Whoever does. is badly mistaken. We have progressed. are pro- gressing. and will with Gods favor. progress still more rapidly. A more indomitable people never settled in any country than the people of Arizona.

Messrs. Christie and Eli ott filled the hall with excellent music, and H. Felt furnished first rate supper. We wish them many rccurrenees of such evenings.

We have been treated to peals of old fashioned thunder but the clouds from which 1t burst were mighty dry and seemed 10 be on the hunt of Governor Mccormick for the purpose, no doubt, of getting drink out of those demi-
