From The Sentinel of June 27:
 Wm. B. Hooper & Co. have shipped to the interior, daring the week, by the Bryan, 73,000 lbs. of citizen and :, 400 lbs. was loaded for E. N. Fish & Co.
 s. s. Jenks, on Wednesday last, hauled out on the San Diego County desert, to different stage stations, ten thousand pounds of barley, for the new mail con- tractors, Messrs Kerens & Mitchell.
 Jose M. Redondo showed us one ounce and three quarters of beautiful coarse gold, taken by Mexicans, by the dry washing process, from the mines about 15 miles east of Yuma, on the north side of the Gila. The miners there are preparing to haul the dirt to the river for washing.
 pr. Goodwin showed us a beautiful but ton of golG and silver the other day which he had just extracted from a piece of ore which he brought down from the Ynma mine, Magnet lode, Montezuma district. This assay the Doctor made by the acid process, and it showed sixteen hundred dollars to the ton, in gold and silver.
 The Doctor has also made an assay of ore from the St. Charles mine and showed us the result. Out of one ounce and d. half of rock he has a solid button of gold and silver and copper weighing oDe-half ounce and eleven graiDsi
 The Sentinel urges the people to cele- brate the fourth in becoming manner and in its article says: The people of Yuma are as patriotic as those of any locality in the United States, but we are informed that there has never been 4th of July celebration here yet.

THE ALBUQUERQUE REVIEW of June 20 says Con. Cosgrove was a short time be- fore at Las Vegas, buying stock for the new mail line to Prescott.
 It also says the crops promise @ fair average yield; the peach, apple and grape it is thought will be greater than for many years past.
 A gentlemanly man named P L. But tevant called on the editor of The Review and stated that he was bound for Prescott, Arizona, alone and on foot.
 Regarding the late flood The Review has this: The water had so far subsided during last week that an embankment was easily thrown across the place where it entered at RincoIada; the result is, the roads are again open for travel, though somewhat miry at the intersections of the overfiowed parts. The people who lost houses and encamped on the bluffs have commenced rebuilding their homes and attending to their crops, much of which can yet be saved; and other parts which cannot, may yet be planted in beans or corn.

Lands Adjacent to Tucson.

Following is the bill introduced in Con- gress by Hon. R. c. Mccormick, and which recently passed the House and will undoubtedly pass the Senate during the present Congress. The bill has the approv- al of the General Land Office and is prob ably as acceptable as any that could be ob- tained:
 A bill to grant title to certain lands in the Territory of Arizona. Whereas cer- tain lands in Santa Cruz valley, county of Pima, and Territory of Arizona, have for many years been occupied and possessed by persons of Mexican birth, who become citizens of the United States under the treaty of ofGuadalupe HidalgO and the GadS- den treaty; and whereas the said persons desire to secure patents for said lands in the small and irregular tracts in which they were originally taken up under Mex ican authority, and have been held and cultivated to the present time, and they cannot do so under the existing land-la Of the United States: Therefore, be 1t enacted by the Senate and House of Rep reSentativeS of the United States of Amer ica in Congress assem- bled, that all the right and title of the United States to the land em mbraced in sections two, eleven, ana fourteen, and the east halfof sections three, ten, and fifteen of township fourteen south, range thirteen east, Gila and Salt River meridian in the county of Pima, Territory of Arizona, be, and the same are hereby, relinQuished and granted to the person or persons who have been in the actual bona fide occupancy or possession of said land, by themselves or their ancestors, for twenty years next preceding the date of the pas sage of this act :; and it shall be the duty ofthe register and the receiver of the United States land-office for the district in which said land lies, to hear and determine, sub- ject to to the approval of the Commissioner of the General Land-Office, the rights of the parties claiming under this act; and for that purpose the said register and the said receiver shall have power to summon witnesses, administer oaths, and take testimony relative to such occupancy or possession: Provided, That no claim as aforesaid shall be of any validity under this act unless it shall have been duly filed with the said register and the said receiver within one year after the passage of this act: And provided further, That this grant shall not extend to any reservation of the United States, nor prejudice any valid adverse right or claim. if such exist, to l said land, or any part thereof, nor preclude judicial examination and adjustment

Cutting Timber Upon the Public
 Lands.
Here is something on this subject taken from The Los Angeles Star of June g:

Here is something on this subject taken from The Los Angeles Star of June g:
 We mentioned day or two since in our local column that several parties had been arrested and taken before the United States Commissioner upon the charge of cutting timber upon government lands. The spoliation of these public lands is an evil and @ nuisance which calls for sharp and incisive remedy and those officers whose duty it is to see that offences of this character are not committed, should spare no pains to bring offenders to punishment Parties who desire in good faith to become the owner by .preemption or by declara- ton under the homestead act, of a quarter section of timber land can generally man. age to do so without great deal of trouble. Until they do so they have no right either legal or equitable to a stick of timber, and their taking it can be called by no milder name than that which is applied to other conversions of property which does not belong to the taker.
 As matter of fact every bit of lumber thus far manufactured in Arizona, has been obtained from lands the title to which is in the United States, and neces- sarily so. First and over all, except for wood and minor purposes in fencing and building, there is no timber land in Ari zona except in the mountains where the soil is unfit for cultivation and probably never can be occupied by farmers. This class of land cannot be purchased by farmers or anybody else, for it is not sur veyed and if it were, under present regu- lations, would not be open for sale except to actual occupants, and, as VIC have stated, bat very little if any of it can be occupied by agriculturalists. We have, and so has the General Land Office, urged Congress to make appropriations for the survey of portion of timber lands each year and provide for their sale in suitable quantities. Nearly every man would much rather buy land with timber than take the timber without payment. The laws of Congress invite settlers to go upon un- surveyed public land, and 1t would be just as unreasonable to prohibit them from using the water and grass as the timber thereon; or to say they should not take minerals from the earth prior to securing patent for the land.
 We know what the law is upon the sub- ject, and will approve of the fullest execu- tion of it in Arizona, just as soon as Con- gress provides @ way by which our peo- pie can purchase the timber lands. In one and another form, VIC have repeatedly called public attention to the fact that our people were anxious to purchase timber land for they could not make homes upon but precious little of it. Let Congress provide way by which our citizens can buy the timber lands and thereby the timber they must have, and ii they don't, then THE CITIZEN will join with The Star in urging prosecu- tions for "denuding" the public land of it's timber.
