 Dr. J. H. Pierson, Secretary of the c. & A. Stage Co.,, and his Lieutenant, Mir. Thomas. Di- vision agent, have paid us quite visit during the week. The Dr. was in the role Of paymaster ..se,tling the road" If we have any penetration at all in such matters the company have got the right man in the right place. He is thoroughly alive to every detail of the business from shoeng a horse up to securing mail contract, and we are pleased 10 know that the changes now in con- temptation are likely to send him to Prescott to reside.

Arrivals from Bradshaw on Wednesday report active operations there, the Cougar dump has increased rapidly since the weath- CT moderated and the mine looks splendid in both shafts. They have the mine en- tirely free from water, and the south shaft has never shown rock so rich as at present. E. S. Junior, who is in charge, when he runs short of change takes few pounds of Cougar ore to a metat and works out enough to meet his requirements, be they great or small.
 The California, according to Mir. Martin, has about 30 to 70 tons of fine milling ore on the dump.
 The Black lead, some l6 miles south of Bradshaw, is being worked by Dud More land and others in the interest of E. J. Cook, F. Ganahl and F. P. Foster. Dud says the Black is not second to the Me Cracken in size or richness. Assessment work is being done on other mines in the same district for these parties.
 We hear that an interest in the Vesuvi- ous mine has been sold by one Scott to another Scott.
 A rumor has gained credence here that the Greenwood, at Sandy, had proven failure Mir. Hicks, who is book-keeper for the Com pany, assures us that there is no foundation for such report, and that work will be re- sumed as soon as chemicals can be procured from San Francisco. He speaks with great certainty of the fabulous richness of the Nc Cracken, and says work is being done on the Senator, Chenowth, Senator Jones, Mo Daniel, Centennial, and Miners Delight, the latter being sometimes known as the Pott' mine and recently sold by Mir. Potts to E- P Rains. Considerable assessment work is be ing done on other mines in Owen district.
 We learn that Robert Groom is about te start up his arrastras on the Sandy, and thai ho has some very rich gold mines there.

 TUcsoS, ARIZONA, April ,, 1875. <


 CUl H. fl. Bigsiosr, Prescott, 4. T.:
 Srs:-In further reply to your letter of the 25th ultimo, l will say that these points seem clear to me:
 In the case you set forth, tho claimants can relocate and immediately apply for pa tent. In which case the absent owner will retain whatever interest he legally claimed at the time of the compromise and consoli- dation of interest, unless you, in advance of application, become lawfully possessed of bis interest in the manner prescribed in Sec. 5 of the Mining Act of May 10, 1872, and in accordance with the General Land Office reg ulations hereunder. (See par 6. page 6, Pamphlet of June 10, 1872, mailed here with.)
 All applicants for patents must show, as per requirements of Sec. 6, Act May 10, 1872, that themselves as grantors have ex- pended in labor to the extent of S5UO upon the claim for which application for patent is made. Therefore yourself and associates hay ing performed that amount of work, your right to patent in this particular is un- douoted
 When an abandoned claim has been re- located by parties never having performed $500 worth of labor on it, they will have to expend that sum in labor or improvements on it before an application by them fer pa tent can be entertained, no matter how much labor may have been put upon such claim by those who abandoned it.
 Very respectfully, JOHN WAssos,
 Surveyor General.

MAY-DAY.-Thc first of May will soon be here and it is time some arrangements were being made to celebrate.
 The easiest way 10 raise means to defray ex- penscs is to nominate two more girls as can. didates for May Queen, charge two bits a vote and allow everybody to vote as often as they will put up. Last year we happened to be where they got excited the election and raised several hun- dred dollars more than WAS needed, But that was useless and foolish, let each vote the amount he feels like contributing, say from one to four times, and the funds will be ample to give the children a good time.

THE LITTLE ORPHANS DREAM.-Georgc Stin. son & Co.,, Art Publishers at Portland, Maine, have au advertisement in the MINER for agents to sell their publications, and by Mondays mail we received ore of their beautiful steel engravings entitled the Little Orphans Dream" The pie ture Is drawn by Reinhart and engraved by Ritchie Is 23x30 inches and really master piece of art.
 It is beautiful creation of the artists brain, and represents little orphan girl on a couch in an elegant apartment dreaming of her mother whom she has been told Is bright angel in the land of spirits. In her sleeping vision she sees that angel mother standing by her side. The out lines of the form and face plainly delineated, though the figure Is sbadowy, etherial and sur rounded by a halo of soit mysterious light as she Is seen gazing upon her child with the inex- pressible love of a mother. In her extended hand she holds n white lily-an emblem of purity. Some of our young people might do worse than to write to the publishers for a catalogue of pie turcs, terms to agents, etc, with view to can wasting for them.

If the city government Ss powerless to prevent reckless riding and driving iu The streets where men, women and children are exposed to the danger of being run over and killed, it is time the horses should take the matter in hand and break the necks of fa few riders and drivers The Marshal receives us pay and of course can't af- ford to risk his fife for fun or glory.

THE RACE TRACK.- The survey of the Prescott Jockey Clubs mile track in Miler's field was completed yesterday and will be ready for use in about two weeks.
 We are informed by officers Of the Club that they expect to have three or four days racing about the 25th of May.
 There is talk of several pretty good purses be- ing put up in order to attract racing men from abroad. Say Club purse, then a saloon purse, a merchants purse and perhaps citizens purse to which al! will be invited to contribute.
 If ar pull together and manage the thing prop erly no doubt very fine spring meeting will be the result, ther all will depend in future on the satisfaction given this time If strangers are used with liberality they will come again in the fall and bring others with them.

A WOMAN Who HAS BURIED SIX HUs-
BANDs-HER LONGEST INTERVAL OF WI
DowHooD FIVE YEARs.-On the 3Oth ult.,
Benjamin Abbott and Mrs. Mary Pratt
were welded at Smyrna, Delaware. This
is the seventh time the bride has been
led to the altar, and the Smyrna Times
prints some interesting gossip concern
ing her past life. The contracting par
ties to these nuptinls, it says, are we'll up
the ascending grade to eighty years
The groom is quiet, unassuming old
particularly if combined with her in
come) to meet his not very numerous
wants. The bride was the relict of tho
late0e1-Sheriff Henry Pratt, of Kent
County, who was the lastanti-D i-Democratic
Sheriff who has filled that office in that
County. He was elected Sheriff in 1874,
by the Wings. His descendants, chill
dren, grandchildren and great-grand-
children, at the time of his marriage,
numbered over 156, and yet he had
never then had but one death in his
family-his first wife. Mrs. Abbotts
names have been eight in all-Miss Will
hams, Mrs. Traux, Mrs. Farrow, Mrs.
Riggs, Mrs. Wallace, Mrs. Berry, Mrs.
Pratt and now Mrs. Abbott. "In every
instance" says the Times, ''save the first,
oAAO Aoo AASI u WlSlOWeI, SOME OF
them with goodly number of children.
She, however, has never sustained q ma
ternal relation by consanguinity. She
was reared in this community, rs have
been all her husbands, SO far MS we can
learn, and hence her record has been MS
an open book to all her seven COM
pnnions, yet record, age, nor aught else
seems to work fatality to the charm
that wins, whatever that may be-and
to find that out is the rub. The five
years and over Of widowhood that ex-
listed between her last and her present
husband, is the longest she has endured.
This, however, may not be wholly her
fault, as we are certain that in one in
stance ut least she offered to share her
comfortable home with one of our most
worthy old citizens, but the mere propo-
sitlon filed him with fenr and trembling.
and to avoid repetition he hurriedly
married O young lady in her teens,
with whom, and his little prattler, he is
now enjoying the fullest share of domes-
tic bliss. We have no intimation, how
ever, that her numerous conquests have
been mnde by open, direct assault. On
the contrary, we think they have not. It
has been asserted on good authority that
she has confessed to o presentment that
she should have seven husbands. She
now enjoys the fulillment of this pro-
p,hetic notion, and, hale, seventy odd,
she wears her bridal wreath with becom-
ing dignity"
