From The Miner of August 6:
 A new school district has been or ganized in Williamson valley. On the occasion, the editor being present, he writes that the citizens of the val ley there assembled manifested an en- thusiastic interest in the school queS- tion and agreed severally with each other that they would build school house independent of school money proper, and for that purpose some agreed to subscribe money to buy material, others proffered use of their teams to haul it, while all agreed to lend hand in building the house.
 Mir. Livermore, the special deputy appointed by the Sheriff, returned from his trip to the Little Colorado and Camp Apache last Sunday even- ing after rough, though successful trip. MT. Livermore served several executions issued OH judgments on last years delinquent taxes, return- ing with several hundred dollars col lected from property and poll taxes. besides assessing for 1875 over $46, ,000 worth of personal property.
 Ben. Weaver showed us some sixty odd dollars of the prettiest gold dust the other day that we have seen since the early days of California It came from bar on tEe Hassayampa that has recently been opened and found to contain placer gold in pay ing quantities. This was the result of two days work and was all coarse, smooth, bright gold.
 The Evening Star discovery still promises well. Messrs. Frederick and Schultz have been ill with some eIe- gant specimens of rich silver ore and men have gone cut to develop 1t. Some Germans have located a lead not far from the Peck and Evening Star that shows rich silver ore.
 Manuel Abiles was hung here at II o'clock 8. u., to- day, for the mur- der of Gregorio, in March last. The execution was effected without balk or accident, the officers having every thing perfectly arranged. The doomed man showed no signs of trepidation or fear and died without murmur. His body was delivered to his friends who had provided beautiful coffin to receive them.
 W. W. Standifer, we'll known here about as successful cattle man, has been gone several months to Califor- nia and returned to his ranch ill the lower end of Williamson valley, on Sunday last, with some 2O0O sheep which he bought of MT. ONeal, somewhere this side of the Colorado river, on their way into the country.
 Horse thieves are infesting this county at present, and from the in dustry with which they are plying their vocation it would seem that they are trying to get g. large band of picked animals together, doubtless with 8 view of driving to some other country. A fine horse belonging to Mat Welsh was stolen from the Will lows last week, and near the same time Joe Knott, John Raible and B. H. Weaver lost favorite animals that are undoubtedly stolen. s. T. Jordan of Williamson valley, is out seven horses and three or four mules that he fears are stolen. and another gen tleman whose name we have forgot ten, has hunted several days for his team without success. The latter were lost nenr town. It would seem from the magnitude of their opera tions that there are several engaged in the business, and that they are thoroughly organized.

MOhair and AngOra Goats.

There are a few AngOra goats in Ari- zona, and they are doing very well ac- cording to all accounts which come to Us. It is believed by the owners of them that the growth of them may be made immensely profitable, for it is much better to ship wool worth one dollar per pound than that worth but twenty to thirty cents. The following we find in an exchange, credited to the manager of the Farr Alpaca company, Holyoke, Mass, dated June 9, and ad- dressed to the editor of The Farmer:
 In the New York Economist of yes terday, 1 notice an article, taken from your paper, concerning the growth of mohaiT, or AngOra goat hair i'll Cali fornia As we are large users of this description of stock, 1 take considera- ble interest in the growth of it in our country, and 1 hope it will prove to be a success. hope the promoters of this new industry understand and are fully alive to the importance of keep ing up the breed and quality of the hair. The value of the article depends upon this. Lustre and strength ot sta pie are the two qualities wanted in this commodity. It is the lusme or bright ness which gives to this hair its chief value, and it must have length to ad- init of its being worked advantageous ly. The shortness of the staple is the principal drawback to the California article. The luSTe is equal to the best Turkish mOhair
 Hair ten inches long is worth more than double that of hair five inches long, and below five inches it is poor stock for any purpose.
 We recently bought a few bales of California mohair and paid 85 cents per pound. It was about seven inches long, and had to be mixed with ordinary combing wool to carry it through, which of course deracts a good deal from the brightness of the goods Had it been two inches longer it would have been worth one dollar per pound.

 J. w. Darlington appeared before the Board of Equalization and asked to be reduced on county warrants in the sum of three thousand one hun dred and twenty dollars, the warrants on which he is assessed being out of the Territory and hypothecated, and he pays taxes on property for which the warrants are hypothecated. The petition was not allowed.
 Last Thursday o. F. Townsend, county recorder, was badly cut on the head by 8 bottle thrown by Robert Black. Black was arrested and taken to jail. Justice Tonge fixed the hour to hear the case, but MT. Town send being too i'll to attend, the hear ing was adjourned to this afternoon. Justice Tonge fixed the bail at $500 which was given, and the prisoner re- leased. As the case will undergo legal investigation, we forbear com menting upon its merits.
