The New Telegraph Company.

At last the worst of all monopolies that ever afflicted mankind, the West 'ern Union Telegraph Company, has met with a competitor that wifi at
 least put it on good behavior and com pei it to serve the people fairly and
 cheaply, or not at all Interior places
 like Arizona, nd-all newspapers and
 their patrons, are deeply interested in
 the progress of the new company. They have frequent use for the tele-
 graph, and at present rates (except over the Arizona lines the tax is very great, and the mass of the people cannot af- ford to use it at all save that owned by government. Here is adispateh which gives clear idea of the new company's organization and purposes:
 NEW YORK, August 6-The Herald this morning publishes the following concerning the National Telegraph Company: This company was found ed Tn consequence of the interchange of views of the leading business men of the Pacific coast, a number of them having met about a year ago for the discussion of the prospect for cheap telegraphy but no final action was talk en upon it until about two months since, when the present company was incorporated. The capital Stock is $25,- 100000, divided into 25,000 shares, of 5000 each, of which $1,500,000 has been subscribed, and ten per cent. paid up. The present Board of directors are NJ Reese, J. R. Keene, Wm. Shar- on, F. D. Atherton, c. w. Kellogg, A. A. Cohen and Wm. Burling. They have recently organized by the election of Mir. Cohen as president, Mr. Keene, as vice-presldent, w. c. Ralston as treasurer, and B. L. Burling as secre- tary. The company propose to have their lines in operation between New York and San Francisco, and between Portland (Maine) and Washington, be fore next Spring. The rates to be charg- ed for a message of ten words are as follows: Between this city and Phila- delphia, 10 cents; Chicago, 90 cents. The general tariff for all distances within 250 miles is to be 25 cents; un- der 800 miles, 50 cents; under 1000 miles, 75 cents; all points over 1000 miles $1; and press dispatches in pro- portion. It is further proposed to make arrangements which are not vet made public, whereby system of second class messages will be taken at 10 cents within 250 miles, 9 cents with in 1000 miles, and over that 40 cents. The views expressed by the promoters Is that, even if allowed to do so, they would not be willing tO ask existing rates, feeling sure that low rates will induce general use of the telegraph by all classes of correspondents, there by securing the best returns on their investment. They also disclaim any feeling of opposition to existing lines, or any intention to injure their busi ness by reducing rates, but do so only because they think more money can be made at low rates.

 Capt. H. Barker O. Alameda, Cal, and d party of prospectOrs lately arriv- ed here and have gone in search of some mines which the the Captain dis covered a year ago, some hundred and thirty miles northeast of this place. Capt. Barker took out several ounces of gold from a decOmpOsed quartz ledge in a short time, but being alone was afraid of Indians and left 1t.
 A party of eight men from Sonoma county, Cai., have located adjoining ranches in Dig Chino valley, some thir- ty miles from here, and propose erect ing wind-millS to bring water to the surface. Some of the party will return soon to bring out their families and such machinery pumps, etc., as will be required. Their names are 0. Schet- ter, D. w. Carriger, A. B. Carriger, W. H. Moore, J. E.

 Mayor C. A. Luke has returned from San Francisco and reports that he talk ed with C. F. Huntington and Gen. N D. Colon Cn ArlzOna railroad matters and received a positive assurance from them that the 35th parallel route has not been abandoned by any means, but that as soon as the GOrgOnla Pass road is completed to the Colorado river, so as to command the Southern Arizona trade, their attention will be turned to the 1ehachapi Pass route, and the road pushed with all possible dispatch to the Needles. hlr. Huntington will be in Arizona ill short time, in person, to examine the lay of the country, and may change the route from Whitewater so as to cross at or above Ehrenberg.
 On the 18th, a public school eXhibi- ton was held in Prescott. The Miner says: The recitations we regarded as really atfording the best evidence of improvement since we first visited the school, some eight months ago, of any of the exercises; the readings also showed wonderful progress Ill the use of the points and in the infection of the voice. 4 ready knowledge of the use Of figures was displayed ill the brief exercises in mental arithmetic, and taken as d whole we found nothing on which to base an unlavOrable criti- cism. We understand that the school trustees have employed MT, Sherman for another year, which we feel quite sure all who witnessed the eXamina- tion and exhibition yesterday will agree was very proper thing to do.
