 A recent letter from Wm. A. Linn, states 1 that two parties ot men were working on the Tiger.

McKenna got back to Prescott, "Wednesday last, from a short pros pecting trip in the Santa Maria country, where they found immense banks of gravel that will, sooner or later, be worked, as said gravel contains gold in paying quantities. Water is plentiful. They were detcrred from testing the country thoroughly, by the pres ence of warlike Apache. Mohaves.
 The news from Wickcnburg district is that Bill Smith will soon be ready to run his mill. It is thought that the yulture Company will not much longer remain idle.

 It is expected that Mir. Baker will soon erect furnace at Cerbat, if the experiments on ores from that vicinity continue to be sue cessful.
 Business in the Walapai mines is lively and prospects good.

II.

It may please a portion of our readers to be told that part of the ill-gotten gains of Philip Arnold, the diamond sharp, has fallen into the hands of Wm. NJ. Lent of San Fran cisco, one of the victims of misplaced conf dencc in the second " Benedict" and his diamonds.
 The property taken ont of Arnold's safe is thus listed by the Louisville Commercial:
 "Si5,000 In railroad bonds of McCrackcn County subscription to the F.. X F. R. R
 $500 in currency and gold coin.
 A magnificent large diamond cross, necklace and earrings.
 Three superb diamond rings and lot of valua. blc sllverwarr.
 These articles are now in the hands of Sheriff Woods. There attached also several hundred acres of land, conveyed to Mrs Philip Arnold, bnt charged to have been purchased with Arnold's $ money, and then conveyed to her to eyade his debts"
 The same paper states that Arno.d's where abouts was unknown lt is a wonder to us that he did not pan out" his safe before taking leg bail. Perhaps he was pressed for time.

Navigation of the Colorado.

Now that the Utah Southern Railroad is reaching down, towards Us, seeking con ncction with navigation on the Colorado river, attention is again directed to that stream, and the question Is asked, frequently, how far is the Colorado nayigablel
 Several years ago, the Mormons evinced much interest in the matter, and Samuel Adams, (acting, as he said, under orders from Secretary Stanton,) with others made explo rations on the river and demonstrated the fact that hght draught steamboats can ascend to Ca!lvile. Adams, by his labors, became known as Steamboat Adams, throughout Ar izona, and supposing that he was consequently cndeared to the public, ran three times for Delegate to Congress, frun Arizona, only to find that the public did not appreciate his efforts. Mir. Adams sought to obtain from Congress, by means of a relief bill, an appro- priation to remuncrate him for his trouble, and, in May, 1872, lectured in Washington on the subject and exposed the ungratefulness of republics toward their bcnelactors.
 Though MT. Adams and Capt. Trueworthy took steamboat to Callvile, and the river is doubtless navigablc to that point at certain stages of water, there are obstructions in the channel, and the Arizona Legislature, years ago, memorializcd Congress to make an ap- propriation to remove the same. No notice was taken of the petition, and now would be good time to renew it. Then the Pacific Railroad was not built and the nations rep resentatives cared little for the people of Utah. Now the trade and transportion through Salt Lake City is immense the busi ness connections of that city with the country south are assuming considerable importance and if the river channel can be made passable at all times to Collrillc, great deal of freight would be shipped to and from that point which now goes by a longer wagon road to the Pacific railroad.
 Practically the head of navigation now is at llardyvile Could steamers run regularly one hundred miles further north to Callyil!e the Utah Southern Railroad would build more energetically to that point, and make an out let for the business of southern Utah and Ne vada which would enable mine owners to ship ore at much cheaper rates than they now pay. United action by the delegations in Congress from California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona might result in securing the end desired.

a Good Thing Duly Apprecia1ed.

No beneficial revolution ever goes back
ward and this maxim is aS invariable in
medicine as ia politics. The advent of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters twenty years
ago. produced a revolution in the treat
ment of a large class OF ailments, aud that
revolution has ever since been in ''the full
tide of successful experiment" Ii that tide
has borne the proprietors of the celebrated
vegetable specific ION to fortune" 1t has
also borne thousands of human beings, who
were languishing under the effects of dis
ease, weak and hopeless, out of the depths
of dependency into the paradise of health
and cheerfulness. 1t is no exaggeration to
say. that to the vigor, the regularity OF
habit of body, the good appetite and per-
feet digestion, acquired under the operation
of this unequalled tonic and corrective,
multitudes of people in every walk of lie,
