Improvements.
----

| Territory. Here in Prescott, Jackson d Bro, have, of late made some excellent Improvements al their place, on Montezuma street
 l Raible & Shecrcr are enhrging their brewery buildings in order to accommodate the new "ma- chlnery" for making beer, and there Is no telling when they will stop improving, for they are big with l.. Tben, Dan HatS, has been expendIng cash H fixing the interior of his restaurant, bake ry and saloon laying sidewalk. shading, fencing, etc. But, we cannot think of half the useful and | ornamental Improvements that have recently been made, nor of those now being worked up in Prescott, but to give readers at a distance an idea of what Is being done in this line, we will state that nearly all our citizens are busy engaged | in the business. We would like 10 be able to say that several new buildings arc in course of con. struction," but a regard for truth forbds ms to | do SO. We hear, however, that D. C. Thorne has | purchased lumber. etc., for tue erection of dwe- | ing house, and that work will bc commenced up- on lt at early day. It Is also said that several l young and old bachelors who have determined upon committing matrimony at the earliest op- portunty, are about to build cozy cages In which to put their birds-when they capture them. We hope SO, aud by way of encouragement, advise said baehs tO press on with fear, favor and afec. ton, regardless of race, color. or previous con dIiion of "rivetude,n but with eyes plural to the atonemeut Of their sins in remaining single SO long. shoo. "boys," hurry up, before all the single sisters of Amcrics enroll themselves old maids ln Sister Antbony's brigade We would speak Of Henderson < Bros new brick store, and of shafier's new frame building. but they are not fitted up, and, Of course, not ripe enough for our green pen
 NftafF Fat s,f .ft ..fp wlse true of those Of all tbe live villages, settle ments and mining camps In the Territory I'm proYcments are everywhere being made Al Wickenburg, Phgnix. La Paz. Ehrenberg, Mo have City. Arizona City, Hardyvflle. yea. even a, Tucson. God grant that the sayages will bot pu, a veto on the spirit of our people by another general raid-sueh as they have conducted against them. GUNs CoNlSG-We learn that Prescott's quota Of tho guns recently given or loaned the Govern mcnt of the Territory by ihe Government or the United States arc on ;h-ir way hsse-noi by mail we hope. TheY aEe--l2s spenoeFs and an equal number of improved sharps. Therr are also coming forty rounds of ammgultlon for each gun. When these weapons arrive, or soon thereafter, it would no, surprise as 70 see brave men organize themselves into q militia company and go forth to seek "miil " or two with the ignobe sAvAgcs Our country cousins arc, of coarst, eligible to | positions behind those guns, and to chances in the game of life with Vincent Colyer's pesky red pets. It ls rumoreA that all Federal. Territorial and ceauiy officials wln take the aeid led by the aspirauts for Congress, but ihe rumor Is, we fear unfoHnded.
 THr HoRsx sALR-Sasurday last, al Fort Whip | pie, forty eondemned cavalry horses were sold at auction, for very good prices. We were not pres | ent al the sAle, but learn that Inc poorest crow bait Of the band sold for e. Que horse-sup posed 10 be tho best Of the i0t-breught si9i. | The average price was s2a.5o, SO that she con | demned braLes sold for all. and perhaps more | than they were worth We understand that the Quarterlnasier. Col. Fosicr, we'll pleased with l the result Of the sale, and well he might be. Cii | izens who purchased them will have the ~pisAs- uFe" of faitening them up for the Apaehes, who, judging by the past, are sure to gobble all Of them FLEsaxr PIcruRK FRAuEs F. Elliott has been. is yet, manufacturing very pretty frames for i pictures, at his shop on M0nteHuma street, and | finds ready sale for them, which shows that our citizens admire nice things.
 NEW wApyrRrnnxsSrs--L Q oven, A. (. S. at Camp Verde, advcrtises for proposals for furnish ! ing 200 tons Of hay al that post IL Rbstein, A A q, NJ. at Camp Date Greek, 1 is going 10 sell several condemned animals etc.

 C. II Case, who Is said Co be good civil engi- peer. adyertises hts business in to-day's MINER, and Is prepared 10 do all work in his line for our citizens.
 PREscorT PosrOFFfcE cEs-AnOtber change has been made In the internal arrangements of this establishment, with the view, we presume, of max ing more room for the great number of people who gather there on mail days Our P. NJ Is now doing brisk business in the Money Order line.
 OFT THE BusrSEss.-Ed Peck, one of the best guides in this part of the Territory has quIt the
 business, for IIs reason, we understand. thai his
 Uncle and ours, the respected samuel, did not pay him enough for his services. If Ed. were to turn Quaker be could, no doubt, secure better paving position than that of guide. But, he knows the savages too we'll for that, and Is too honest
 and upright to act the part of . hypocrite,
 MR RopRreo has recently arrived here, and talks of starting in the photographic business.
 He halls from Los Angeles. California, and t Is
 said, can make good pictures.
 "sHoo-FLr HArs," for ladies, arc the newest
 things in these mountains. They were imported
 by Campbell < Buffam. They are simply straw
 broad .brins, with small, thatcEed holes In the
 centre. We like them better than the abroad
 brlms" recently sent out from the East to shield,
