MINING.

C. Y. Shelton started bis arrastra on Mon day, and, Expressinan Ballon informs Us, has struck bonanza in the Vernon miEe equal if not richer than it was before he lost the led. He showed MT. B. some specimens perfectly spangled with gold.
 Rice & Elliott Bros on the Accidental, are taking out ore and will soon start two arras- tras to be propelled by the water wheel re- gently purchased from Uncle Billy Pointer.
 Poland, Miller and Lake have returned and are preparing to put up wheel to work ore from some newly discovered lodges on the creek
 Quite number of new lodes have been discovered on Upper Lynx during the fall and winter that are very promising. Now that the weather has moderated, Mr. Ballou found the placer miners sluicing with an abundance of water and all cheerful and hopeful. The late excitement has not car ried off single miner from Lynx Creek and all intend to stay, which of itself speaks well for the Camp.
 SILVER BELT MINE.
 George Hogle and Jos Faut came in from the Silver Belt mine in Big Bug district on Saturday and brought some of the richest specimens of silver ore we have yet seen in the Territory. This mine belongs to those gentlemen and E. Hutchinson, who certainly have reason to believe they have a good thing.
 They are now down sixty feet and find the ledge 22 inches thick, encased in well defined walls of slate, and very rich pay ore running from S1O,000 per ton down to Sl0O Say an average of between four and five hundred dollars.
 MT. Hogle is practical assayor but has had no appliances with which to make any true tests, yet he has analysed it, with the primitive implements at hand, enough to know that silver predominates largely over all other metals in the rock, while there is some copper and perhaps twenty per cent. lead, with quite trace of antimony. So that it will be seen that it is smelling ore. and cannot be worked to profit by any other process. This ore will bear shipment to any part of the world for reduction, as it is of a very high grade, but the time has come when the country demands reduction works here, and it is quite probable that this season will attract some of the capital that is being wasted on inferior ores elsewhere to these rich mines E. Fender, the millwright. returned from East Hassayampa on Monday and informs us that the Stone X Moore hurdy -gurdy wheel, which he recently built, is sold to McHenry * Kent and is driving their arrastra on Crook ore, crushing about 25O0 lbs. per day. Phelps Co. are also crushing about a ton per day 1 in an arrastra driven by another hurdy wheel put up by John Dawson. Chas. Fuller is nearly ready to start his g l foot overshot wheel. McHenry & Kent had struck large chim- ! ney in their mine that prospects as rich as anything they have had

When the traditional Contraband lost the rabit, the legend runs, he changed his mind as to its value, and sought consolation in philosophy. But the people of Yavapai never did have much sympathy to waste on their co-tenants, the Apaches, and now that they are gone can say, without doing vio- lence to their consistency, there never was much good in ,hem and the further away they are taken the better it will be. provided they stay away and never come prowling back again." They are "tough citizens" al best, and any country is we'll rid of them, nevertheless we still think the Department has entered upon hazardous experiment which If fully comprehended would never have been undertaken but it is done and let us hope for the best
 They started on Saturday from the Verde some l4I6 strong, under guard of l5 soldiers and 40 Indian allies, on their way to San Carlos. Joy and peace go with them and may they never again set foot in Yavapai county. The reservation in the Valley of the Verde will now be thrown open to set clement by white people, and when it is known abroad that there are no Indians within hundreds of miles of Prescott we shall expect to see families and all the bet ter class of immigrants whose lives gre valu- able and who are concerned for the safety of those dependent upon them, turn their teams in this direction where they can be free from the sear of Indians as well as be- canse of the richness of the country's re- sources.
 Col. Dudley, the Special Commissioner. called upon us yesterday and assured us that he was succeeding finely snd there is but little dissatisfaction among them except the squaws, some of whom consider themselves overloaded. They have conferred the title of "Comealong" on the Col. in consequence of bis urging them by this expression to travel faster.

4 DlscoURAC ED EDIToR.-He was a sad eyed, meeked-faced man, and we supposed he merely wished to give us news item ; but when be commenced telling us about a barn on his ranch l90x280 feet, seven stO- ries high, and ornamented with bay win dows, we thought it was time to check him, and so we commenced:
 "Well, We must admit that that is a pret ty large barn for this country, but back in the States our father built barn 325x5OO feet, nine stories high and furnished with steam elevators the
 Back in the States" interrupted our list ner. "Why, that wasn't much of a tarn for the States. remember, now, that when was quite young my father built chicken coop 550xS32 feet. 1 don't recollect how many stories it was high, but know there was cupola on it for the roosters."
 "About how high was that cupo!a?" we asked.
 "I don't remember the exact height now, mister, "was the reply, "but know it was so high that the fourteen upper tiers of roosters died from the effects of the light atmosphere the first night.
 Then he looked up towards the ceiling and commenced humming "Jesus Loves Me-" and we went out and sat down on the wood pile, and wondered why somebody was al- ways outstripping us in the race of life. - Fairplay (Col. )Sentinel.

Church and school--Mormon Impotence

For downright impudsnce, the COrinne
 Mail commends us to the Mormon Bishop of the town of Franklin, Oneida county, Idaho Territory. It seems that the last school directors elected for that district did not happen to be Mormons, and the Bishop finding that he could not control them as had been his custom with the former direc tors, requested them to resign, giving as his reasons that the citizens had built the schoolhouse, and if they employed Gentle teacher, they could not reap the benefits from the school, and that, being under the control of the Gentiles, any Christian de- nomination would be permitted to preach in the building. Undoubtedly these reasons appear very cogent to the Mormons, but the Gentle directors do not see it in that light, and consequently refuse to resign their po- sitions. When the schoolhouse was under control of the Bishop no Christian was allowed to hold service therein and no of the people were permitted to occupy the building without paying an enor- nous price for it, unless it was for the bene- fit of the Mormon Church.

Faro in Feeiee.

Civilization is gradually penetrating to
 the remote regions of the earth. A faro bank has been established in Feejee, and the natives are facinased with the game. A somewhat sad incident is mentioned in con-
 nection with the last game for the champion ship. A chief became deeply interested in the game,-the stakes of which were hnman
 beings fattened for tie table. Luck seemed
 to 20 against the chief. First he put up his
 servants, and lost; then he put up his moth-
 er-in-law, and lost. He did not shed tear
 over this disaster. Then he staked his un-
 married sister, and his uncle William, and
 bis aunt in tie country, and his wife's cous- ins-an6 the bank raked in all the chips. The infatuated chief then offered bis baby, and the owner of the bank had 1t packed down in his ice-chest in less than fifteen minutes. The chief then bet all his chii- dren successively, and lost; and then having gambled away his wife, he staked himself the last chance, and again bet on the wrong card. When he had time to think it over. the chief said he was convinced that gam bling was very wrong, and he thought it ought to be suppressed by the authorities. But before his friends could get bill passed he was killed and put in cask to corn by the faro bank man. A succession Of pecu- iarly succulent free lunches made that es- very attractive to Feejeean cpl cures for several months afterwards.

TAXING TOLL

 In the door of tbe mill etood Richard Lee White as an image of snow was he, From his heavy boots to bis bearded lips, From the crown of tis bat Co hls bb2er tips, Now, slowly jogging along tue sffset, Drove farmer Brown with his grist of ~beaf, And with him Bessie, fresh as the Spring, And ripe as the fruit :he Fall months bring. While the farmer drove about the town, Young Lee ground the wheat and 5olted It down, With many a glance at the maiden fair Who sat by the door in the oaken chair. And she stood by the wbirling. rumbling stones, And watched the grain as 1t ebbed so still, Till the farmer came, but the noise Of the mill Drowned the noise of his feet, and over the
 hopper
 4 good deal closer than he thought proper, Two heads were bent, and when Richard Lee Saw him standing there, he stammer'd: "I--sce That-ls" tben paused and shuffied his feet) al think there are weevils in your wheat"' But the farmer smiled and said "Well, Bess, Of tsoo eriLs always choose the less. And the maiden looked down, confused and
 meek,
 With patch of flour on one cheek! Still the old man didn't take it i'll, For he knew young Richard owned the mill. But he unused as they slowly rode away; "Well I've been to mill now many day Say forty odd years, but, bless my soul! That chap beats all of them taking toll"

ALFONSO has now been nearly eight
 months on the throne. He is supposed to
 rule as we'll as to reign. His advisers fill the
 office of responsible Ministers. Once day
 they come to him with papers to sign, and
 with arduous questions about the solution of
 which they have to solicit his royal pleasure.
 Theoretically, they alone are answerable for
 their measures, and the King can do no h run but, practically, Alfonso, young as he is,
 knows full we'll that the consequences of their blunders would fall upon him alone, and
 his Ministers would escape with no worse punishment than pension of 5000 or 4O,- GOO reals. The Ministers find him alone when they come in they leave him alone when they are dismissed. Private, intimate counsel, the King has none, for his sister sell dom or never crosses the threshold of bis apartments, and most of her time is spent in long visits to the Madrid nunneries. The Kings household has been chosen for him, and the friends who came with him from Paris, if they have access to him, are debar- red from their former familiar intercourse.
 There is no end to the uses to which that feeble, boyish royality is put in Madrid. From moraing to evening, from weeks end to weeks end, there are duties, social or po- litical, civil or religious, to be attended to; foreign Ministers to be received, grandees to be patted," Knights of the Golden Fleece to be dubbed, pauper's feet to be washed; the King in every procession the King at every bull-fght; the King to open carnival, the King to close Lent; the King to inaugurate market, to bury the dead, to christen the newborn; the King everywhere; the King the man of all work. Don Alfonso, we'll meaning, intelligent lad, aware of his own deficiencies, alive to his responsibilities, anx- ious to fit himself for place to which he was too early and to suddenly called, came in with full determination to consecrate at least few hours daily to the pursuit of those studies which were so unexpectedly interrupted but leisure to even open a book is denied him, and the farrago of home and foreign with which, by his order, his table is covered, IS suffered to lie there uu- touched from one day to another. Every thing seems contrived to harass and weary. to flag and bore, without improving the Kings mind, to give him distaste and loathing for that kindly estate, of which only the dull routine and the empty pageantry are known to him.-lSpanish Correspondence of the London Times.

WE were shown yesterday a specimen from the famous "Peck" mine, near Prescott, Arizona. It was remarkably rich, and would probably assay $500 to the ton. The party showing it to us also gave us a letter to read, which he had received from there. The writer says all Arizona needs is machinery and capital; that she is ten years behind Nevada and Cali fornis in point of proper means for developing the hidden wealth of the country, and thinks the mines near Prescott will assume great importance when their merits are thoroughly:understood. -IPiochc Record.

Any man who would as teacher, whether of a primary class or as the States Representa- tive Educator, attempt Co turn the grand system of State Education into political or religious-that is, sectarian, institution-is not fit to be entrusted with the responsibili- ty of the position.
