went to MINER with a fearful story that
 NIT. Citizen was peeling him because he had thrown stones at our country school houses, and then would not lend him the Citizens columns to plead his case through. The course of the MINER on that occasion re- minds me of the way our dad used to do ii any of us went home from school complain ing of thrashing by the master; he would say, "A-ha, you must have been doing some thing wrong", and thereupon he would pro- ceed with hogging number tooo. That big man got about the same kind of comfort from the MINER. AproPos, our district school has just closed three months term. Miss Matthew, the teacher, succeeded ad- mirably as teacher, and I never saw little folks make such fine progress in like time; from scarcely knowing their letters at the commencement several are now reading readi- ly in words of four and five letters. But, l fear, am extending this communication too far. At some other time 1 would like to discuss the reasons why man may champi
 on public schools in Nevada, and seek to de- stroy them in Arizona. SlvAD.

PIMA COUNTY ITEMs.-From the Citizen of the l4th inst:


 PIMA COUNTY ITEMs.-From the Citizen of the l4th inst:
 News from the Ostrich mill and mine is very good. Thomas Ewing and James II. Toole were out this week, and say the mill has been running very smoothly for several days, daily crushing eighteen tons. It would run on till to-day when cleanup will be made, and the prospects arc that expecta- tions will be met Ore is abundant and much of it shows free gold, and from all ac- counts, it seems impossible that there should be anything but satisfactory result, at the first and all following clean-ups.
 Visitors to the "Old Mine," report their belief that it is the most valuable in this county. It was expected that a working test would have been made ere this. Work ingmen are still taking out ore.
 Mr. Nash visited his mine near San Kay fer this week. Presume his object was to prepare for the erection of the reduction works now en route here by teams of l. Gold berg.
 In the United States court, in the matter of the United States against L. 4. Stevens, ct als, bondsmen for a default ing postmaster at Prescott some years ago, a change of venue was asked and allowed re- moving the case to the district court in Yav- apai county.
