of the best kind. He has room for three run of stone but has only one put in at present.
 VAsQUEz has at last been caught and is lying sE the Los Angeles jail awaiting a trial for his many crimes. He has three times been sent to the State prison for rob bery, and he and his gang have been the terror of southern California for a long time. AS service in the State prison has not proved morally beneficial to him, and certainly not profitable to the people or State, we hope now the soothing influ- ence Of a little hemp will be brought into use.
 A LETTER from PheniX informs us that harvesting commenced on Monday last and that the yield of grain prospects we'll
 The farmers are in need of little money to help them through harvest and every one who is able should give them a help ing hand. Upon the producers we depend for our prosperity and just in proportion as they are depressed, the Territory will
 be depressed.
 WE understand Col. Boyle, who is going to take charge of the Santa Rita mines for an English company, will arrive here about the 10th of June prepared to com mence operations. The Colonel is a per severing, experienced miner and if he is backed as we learn he is by large capital he will wake up this portion of the min ing world and be the means of putting a good deal Of money in circulation This being the first English capital sent here for investment we hope our people will do all they can to aid in making the enterprise a success.
 THE school at Phenix closed yesterday. Miss Shaver has been teaching there six months and has given entire satisfaction to the people. Wehope she will consent to teach the school after the vacation as we understand it is the desire of all she should do so. Judge Alsap has been a faithful worker in the school interest in Maricopa county and much credit is due him for his energy and zeal. The school at Ehrenberg, Yuma county, will close June l2. It has been in charge of Miss Casat, most excellent teacher, and we are informed by Hon. T. J. Bidwell, the efficient superintendent of schools for Yuma county, that her pupils have made excellent progress.
 THE controversy as to the location of the boundary line between Sonora and Arizona at the point where the Gro Blan- co mine is located, is in fair way of amicable settlement. The Mexican au- thorities have accepted the proposition made some time ago by Gov. Stafford, to appoint surveyor to meet one appointed on the part of Arizona and jointly trace the line through. In pursuance of this agreement Gov. Stafford appointed J W. Hopkins on the part of Arizona, and the two surveyors are to meet at the Gro Blanco mine on Saturday, May 30. We are glad that this vexed question is so near a termination and that it is to be settled in an honorable, peaceable manner as all dis putes should be, arising between neigh bors. -lI...-. .-.
 WE are glad to learn that Delegate Me Cormick intends to permanently identify himself with the interests of Arizona. Our Territory is mainly undeveloped and possesses vast mineral, pastoral and agri- cultural resources. With his knowledge of the country and confidence reposed in him by the capitalists of the east, Mir. cCormick will be able to render as great and valuable services out of Congress as he has done in it. Some unfriendly con- ment has been made for his expression in the telegram declining to run again that he could edo better" ''''I''t-t
 Some construe it want of gratitude for the generous support that has always been given him by the people of this Ter ritory. This we think is not justified. In a dispatch of ten words but few thanks could have been expressed and it is un- to expect at the rates of tele- graphing that a very extended telegram would have been sent. It is very evident that the position of Congressman is not 3 lucrative one, and no one should feel lilly towards Mir Mccormick because he has
