 Bring Yow Hevds-A year ago the domestic | animals Of this county were few and far between | but now, thanks to Crook aud his men, who have | baptized the Apaches, the number of horses | mules, donkeys, cattle and sheep, Is rising hfty thousand, and more are coming. Very good we want Co see more, and can point out many choice l locations for other herds, on the Verde river, East Fork Of Verde, Fossil, Oak, Clear. Beaver, Agua Fria, Ash, Lynx, Big Bug, Hassayampa, Turkey and many other streams tn this vicinity, Chino Valley; the ioot-hills of the San Francisco and other ranges of mountains abound in choice ranches, which will, in time be looked afler
 Of course, the other counties of the Territory have many tempting spots, for pastoral purposes, and, SO, every new conner can suit himself as re. gards climate and locality. But climate need scarcely be thought of, as animals do well, the year around, almost anywhere in the Territory.
 The Great Sexton.-We stated. in yestcrday's issue, that Mir. Stanton, one of the owners of the above named mine, had started for San Francisco after a mill with which to work the ore of said mine, which Is very large one, and quite rich in free gold. Its location, near Weaver, where in 1863 and 'G4 panfus of gold were picked from of the surface, is In it's favor Mir stanton has arras- traed considerable from this mine, all Of which paid we'll Let us hope that success will crown his efforts to raise and bring out mill. W. c. Collier Is now busy "cleaning up" the goodies saved in Elot's Errastra, from Goodwin ore. Prospects, so far, are encouraging. Captain !. P. Hargraye, lawyer and gentleman of this place, has now No. library and the neat est rooms in town. His place Is on the east side Of the plaza, not far from another lawyera' den | II. II. Cartier & Son. Judge John Howard Is the only lawyer that lives in primitive style, his place | is known ss Fort Misery, No. 2.
 Surgeon David L. Magruder, the recently Ap- pointed medical director of this department, rice Surgeon Baily relieved, Is now at headquarters attending to the duties of his office. Surgeon Magruder was appointed from Virginia, as long ago as 1850. Those who know him speak but in his praise as man, physician and officer. We welcome him to Arizona, and hope that his stay | here will be long, pleasant and profitable. He will find Gen Crook, his officers and men, and the citizens of this Territory, possessed of good | qualities.
 It Is a sign of the times, and a good one. at | that, to see Col Bgelsw and other pioneers, pur. | chasing feet In our mines. Those who know this | country best have faith In It's grand future Let all take courage from these straws, which point the way of the wind.

 AGLoRious sToRN.-The snow storm which -e mentioned yesterday, pe.ered oat toward evening, after fall of about sx inches, the wind vcered round to the southwest and the storm seemed 10 be over but at dark the wind went back to s. <. F., the weather got warmer, and rain commenced falling at 10 P. NJ. and continued coming down steadily until we go to pres. to day, with pros pect of another wet night Water enough hAs already fallen to moisten the earth sufficiently to enable farmers to plough.
