,yo ardnous tasks,--assessing aud taking census rron, the Census RolT for this year, we learn that ,bcrc are in the county, two thousand five hun. drcd and sixty y-Gyc lnhabtints, excluding soldiers in the military service of the United States, indi ans and negroes, which proves that, despite draw backs of every kind, the population of the coun. ,v has increased considerably within the past year. The value of real and personal property in inc county given at s764 Os6OO and 1t is thought the Board of Equalization will add several thou. ,ands to the sum- Tue real property is valued at s367, ,435O0; the personal at s39d d65100. So soon as the Board of Equalization gets through with it's hbors, VIC will give the result, as well as the total amount of taxes due the county.
 To TAx.PAYERs The Board of, Supervisors of Yagapai county, give notice ir another column, that they will meet as Board of Equalization, at this place. on the 5th day of July, ls69 and re- maiu in session until the 1Sth for the purpose Of hearing complaints regarding assessments, etc.
 HE crops in every section of the county are doing well
 LABOR MARgET.-Laborers are not in great de. mand at present, yet there arc but few idle men
 
 are scarce in Wckenhurg. The farmers through. out the county have got through planting, and will not require much more help than they now have, untIi the rains SC, In. A month hence, la. borcrs will be in demand all oyer the country, and laborers on their way here need not get dis couragvd, should they learn that the market is now stocked. We understand that, owing to the prevalence of bad air in tine shaft and lower dris of the Sterling mine, no moro men can be cm- ployed at present., but as measures are being taken to admit pure air, and as tho mill will probably bc up and running in about c month, the proba- blllty is that the company will soon Resd the vices of many moro men. Then, as soon as water comes, which may be about the middle of next month the placer mining companies will be able 10 employ several hands. The ruling rate Of wa- ccs, for working men, a, the present time, is from seO 70 s7s, per month in gold. besides board DEiGurruL LCLINArE.-Dwcllers in this noun. tain region have reason to feel thankful for the delightful veatter usually enjoyed by them, No where on Gods carih are the Spring and Autumn months 90 enjoyable as in the mountainous parts of Arizona, and lt cannot be said that our Winter Is dlsasreeably cold True, snow falls, and biting
 
 excepting upon the mountain ranges snow rarely rests upon the ground more than a few hours Then, again, wbo does not feel glad, when carly iu July, our svsumcr rains commence Co descesid cooling the heated atmosphere, freshening rcgcia- tioa, gladdeaing the hearts of men and clothiag the esTh iH bcautifui green Artzous, when rid of Apaehes and connected by railroads with the other States and Territories Of the Union, will be- come rich, powerful ard resort for pleasure seekers fronl every ciime and country. Her heal. thy climate, her great mineral wealth her agrical. tura and grazing lands and her immense forcsts af Iimbcr wifi draw hiihcT tens of thousands Of people, who will uot be slow to develop these yNst resources and place her in the front rack of States.
