The brothers R. E. and Augustus Elliott are, n our opinion, the most enterprising cit- izens Of our town, and, were their energy and enterprise spent upon one business or thing, unknown success would surely attend them. As IL is, they do a little of every thing and squeeze partial success frum all things. Their afrastrA is now rein forced by an Elliott rOck breaker. which flr crudeness, simplicity and usefulness is we'll worth seeing, as no more nor less than large dat stn1es, one above another, which are oprrated by steam power. That is, the low CT ones are stationary while the upper ones are forced to squeeEe and crush by steam motive. These crude rOck breakers do their work very eifectuaiy.
 We hope ere long 70 see the brothers in possession of good quartz mill, furnace, etc, so that they will be able to work quartz of every character.
 Citizens of this county wbo recently st. tended court in Msricopa county, as witness e in tho ease of Arizona Territory vs. W. E. Hellings, are not at all pleased with the sl- lowances made by Jadge Tweed nor ought they to be, since said allowances are, in every case, entirely too small. The witnesses had Co leave their business, undergo hardship~ and fatigue. spend sbeir own means, for sIl of which they have received orders for small sums on the county treasurer, wbo bss m money to pay said or,lers. We, oursell, are one of the victims, and although we do not growl, VIC will rsmsTk that $500 would not reimburse us; yet, We must pat up with sn order fof Sl26t,0.
 The witnesses who grumble, adoit, freely, the grea, cost the county will have to stand, bat they reason that a community can bet ter afford Co loose than private citizens. They further hope that no more change oi venues wiiI be granted by . indge setting in Ysvapai.
