 Our fellow -townsman, Calvin White, of the firm of Allen X White, arrived nome on tue night of the 18th inst. from San BeTnardino, California, whtbcr be wr".x sh.s. |. ..,2c in company with his relations, Judge Turner and wife, who have gone to America" Mir. White made the trip in buggy with one other gentleman, and had fair opportu- nity for seeing sights and gathering news. We are indebted to him for information from which we construct the following:
 SAN UERNAnDINo
 And the delightful region of which t is the principal town have improved greatly in the past few years. Many fine ediiices have been erected in the town, and the country has gained heavily in wealth and population. Although trade was brisk, Mr. White saw but little money in circulation, and most of that, we all know, went from Arizona, for freight, fruit, goods, etc, for the trade of town and county with this Territory Is con siderable. Despite the scarcity of money, the people appeared happy and content, which is the right way to feel and appear They kept up the old custom of marrying and giving in marriage, yet Mir White saw enough good-looking single ladies to furnish half the bachelors of Yayapai county with better halves, and assures US that he filed no. tices upon two --one for himself and another for the Arizona MINER.
 EHRESBERG,
 ' lsa Er.s ~sst Bernarlino, and which is on the east bank os the Colorado river, in Arizona, is, according to Mir. w, one of the iivelest places ,iis side Of San Francisco. Although not years old, the place has many fine buildings, and new ones are constantly going up. The landing, ln front of the place being one Of the best on the river, and the warehouses of MeSsrs Goldwater X Bro, Bryant X Frank, and others, being large, safe establishments, near | ly all the freight that comes to Northern Arizona is stored at Ehrenberg, until teams are provided 10 haul it to its destination. So that, with the constant arrival or steamers from Arizona City and the mouth of the Col. orado; the arrival of freight trains from | n two stages week, it is no great wonder that khrenberg is lively, growing place. Be sides, 1t is easy Of access from the interior.
 IA PAZ,
 Which was once the chief town of the Cobra do. is situated some five or six miles above Eh- renberg, some distance from the river, owing, to which latter fact, 1t has lost wealth, people and prestige. Dut, 1t was by no means q dead town when Mir. White visited it. Cour, was in session, and people were in attendance from all parts of the Territory, % that the old town presented some of the former hustle and activity that used to preyai! in it's streets. But, is is proposed to take from it the honor and profit of being the seat of Goyernmen, for Yuma county, and, should its rivals sue ceed in doing this, speedy decay and dissolu- tion will follow.
 wIcKESBURG,
 Was prosperous, as usual. The yulture Mining Company's 40-stamp mill, which is located about mile above the town, was crushing rich gold rock, and producing A 2 great deal of bullion. Many new houses have recently been erected in the town, and above and below it, on the banks of the Hassayam. pa. Long trains of wagons, drawn by mules, were constantly arriving from Ehrenbsrg. Phenix, Prescott and other points, with goods, grain, lumber, etc. It was believed that the ten-stamp mill in town, would soon commence crushing ore.
 I AN EXPRESS OFFICE
 NIT. White says Wells, Fargo < Co. will immediately establish sn express office at Wickenburg; which does not surprise us. The wonder is that they have not done SO long ago. Ho further says that one will be opened at Prescott, before many weeks. Ibis is good news.
 STATIONS AND sTATioN-KEEPERs.
 He is not very lavish in his praise of ma jority of the station keepers along the route. and the manner in which they keep their stations, but speaks in high terms of Charles Quilting, keeper Of the station at Culling,s Well, who, ha says, has nice, clean place. and takes pleasure in treating travellers we'll. Wish the others would copy after Charley. We know 1t would be to their profit to do SO.
 srAsFIELD's TRAIN
 And numerous teams belonging to farrDers and traders of San Bernardino county. Cali. tornia, were passed on the way. In fact. Mir. White says he never before saw so many teams on the road, and that our citizens may soon expect lots of good things.
