Col. Cany has a force of men
operating on mine in the Bilck
Hills, some twenty-five miles from
Prescott.
The mining interests in Mari
copa county are not being neglect
ed. They say eve assure mining
capitalists that peace reigns in
the Territory, and that the pres
ent is n most favorable tim for
them to come or send agents to
look at our mines. We want capt.
tai, skill and enterprise to open
and work our mines to good adj
vantage, and are willing to make
sacrifices to obtain them"
There is scarcely mining dis
trict in the Territory that does not
offer splendid inducements in the
way of tempting mines and ia
cilities for working them.
A China man shot a soldier in
a house Of ill fame at Prescott,
on the Sd inst. He lies in the
Fort Whipple hospital, in a criti-
cal condition. Was known by the
soubriquet Of "Neff."

Interior News.

We extract from the Prescott
Miner the following items:
The epizootic, or animal pesti-
lence, has at last reached this
section of Arizona and attacked
several horses and mules. Up to
the 4th inst. three mules sue
cumbed to the disease at Fort
WhippIe, despite every effort.
Brooke Il Linn, Of the Pioneer
stable, Prescott, have four sick
horses, and we hear that it has
attacked many animals III Chino
valley.
The disease is of the nature of
catarrhal fever, accompanied by
slight Inflammation Of the throat
and bronchial tubes. 1t is evil
dcntly the result of some atmOS-
pheric influence. The disease
appears To take from ten to thirty
days to run its course, according
to the severity of the attack. 1t
is characterized by a discharge
from the n0strils, Il severe hack
ing cough, quickened circulation
and labored breathing. Impure
air or exposure increases the
symptoms. and the lungs become
affected, With is the great dan
ger from this disease. When the
cough is very severe, Il mustard
application to the Wind-pipe is
found to he of great benefit, allay-
ing the irritation. Stimulants
have been found preferable to
sedatives in the treatment; there
fore bleeding and ptrgatives are
unadvisabie.
The mines in Yavapai county are
being steadily worked, with good
results. Rock recently sent to
San Francisco from the San Do
mingo silver mine, which lies be-
tween Wickenburg and Walnut
Grove, yielded 1T the rate Of ST.
500 per ton.
On the other side of Tucson and
near the Mexican border, some 20
men are at work upon the Enter
prise mine, which is now very
promising institution.
Castle Dome district, in Yuma
county, is still turning out silver
ore, which is being regularly
shipped to San Francisco.
In the Maynard district, Mo-
have county, several shafts have
been sunk, some to the depth Of
90 fcnt with oatisEa ctnrss results

How Soon Forgotten,

oh how soon we IRE forgotten,
When We rest beneath the sod,
And ouI feet no longer wander
Der the paths We oft haVe trod;
When the form that we so cherished
With love both pure and deep,
Lies within the calIh's dark bosom,
In It's last long sleep.
For u few days, 1t may be-
Had We home and kindred dear
Whom they met around tho hearthsIohe,
There will bo n lack OF cheer
As vacant seat viii tell them
OF affections broken ties,
Aud their thoughts pelChaucG viii wander
Where the dreamloR sleeper lies.
But should stern fate deprive rs
ora bright aud cheerful homo,
And in weariuess Of spirit
Der HES rugged way We roam;
When the golden bowls broken,
And the lone one ilnd3 rest,
Twill excite no dread c0nmUtion
In one palpialing breast.
Yot It's we'll that thus IL should be-,
In LIES brief revolving years;
Else this world OF gliding beauties
Would become % vale OF tears;
When tho soul at,uned to sadness
Aud by sorrow overcast,
Would enshrno The brightest future
With sad memrics OF the past.

The True Story OF the First Telegram

From Scribners for March.
The bill met with neither sneer nor op-
position in the Senate, but the business
Of that house vent on with discouraging
slowness. Al twilight on the last evening
of the session March 3, l643) there wore
2l0 bills before il. As it seemed impossi-
Bile for il to be reached in the regular
course before tho hour of adjournment
anxiOusly watched the tardy movements
of business all day from the gallery of the
senate Chamber went with sad heart to
HIS hotel, and prepared to leave for New
York at an early hour the next morning.
While at breakfast u servant informed
him that u young lady desired 10 see him
in the parlor.
There he met Miss Annie Ellsworth,
then young school girl-the daughter of
his intimate friend, Hon. Henry Ia. Ellis
worth, the first commissioner Of patents.
Who said as she extended her hand to him
~ have come to congratulate you"
"Upon what?H inquired the professor.
"Upon the passage of yonr bill" she
replied.
'lmpossible its fate was sealed at dark
last evening. You must be mistaken"
"Not at ALL she responded. "Father
sent me to tell you that your bill was
passed. lie remained until the session
closed, and yours was the last BILL but
one, acted upon, and it was passed Just
five minute before the adjournment; and
am so glad to be the first one to tell you of
it. Mother says, too, that you mast come
home with me to breakfast
The invitation was readily accepted and
tho joy OF the household was unbounded.
Beth Mr.. and Mrs Ellsworth had fully be.
lieved in the project, and the former, il
his confidence in it, and his warm friend
ship fer Professor Morse, had spent all
the closing hour of the session in the Sem
ate chamber, doing what he could TO hclp
the bill along, and giving it all the inlu.
ence of his high personal and official po-
sitien
Grasping the hand Of his young friend,
again and again for bearing him such
pleasant tidings, and assured her that she
| should send over the wires the ars mes
| sage as her reward The matter was talk
ed over in the family, and Mrs. ELS
worth suggested q message, which Prof.
Morse referred to the daughter for her APP
proyal, and this was the one which was
subsequently, sent.
A little more than a year after that
time, the line between Washington and
Baltimore was completed, Prof. Morse was
in the former city, and Mr.. Afford Vail,
his assistant, IN the latter--the lirs, in
tho chamber of the supreme court, the last
in the Mount Glare depot, when the oir-
