Messrs. Greer and Dayton, of the Mormon colony, on Little Colorado in this County, have been in town during the week, and called upon us. From these gentlemen, who are well posted as to the operations and in- tentions of the Church in encouraging the establishment of this colony, we learn that in case they succeed in raising good crop this year, as they believe they will, they have had partial assurance from President Brigham Young, that next year woolen factory and other machinery will be sent out andrast up on the river, and in the mean time saw-mll is already on the way to make lumber for the settlers. The Com pany to which these gentlemen belong have built q dam and taken out water for irriga- ting purposes at an expense of nearly S6,OOO. We shall hear from them soon, by letter, giving detailed statement of their opera tions.

The performance of the boys, at Drew's Hall, on Saturday night, was we'll received by very large and respectable audience who testified their appreciation of the Enter tainment and respect for the performers, by observing the strictest decOrum throughout. After the performance was over and the Ia- dies had all left, an altercation occurred at the door between Joe Price and c. Heenan, in which Price acted disgracefully, and for which he was, on Monday, tried before Judge Otis and fined SlOO and costs, or fifty days in jail. Henan, being one of the young men composing the troupe, had taken great interest in getting up the show, and acted as usher in order to accommodate all the ladies with seats, and in doing so had to move Price back from near the front to place more remote from the stage. At this, Price took offense, and sought the first opportu- nity after the performance to assault Henan with six-shoOter. Fortunately no cOnside- rable damage was done and no one was seri- ously hurt. Heenan took the weapon from him and would no doubt have shot him if others had not interfered, and Price imme- diately ran away.

 It was funny during the Coie-Besn trial, last week, to see with what earnestness and industry the friends of the plaintiff, Cole, labored to make him out the most worthless, oontemptable, despicable, vile, miserable, pittiful, trifiing, foolish, low-lived creature on earth, while his enemies were equally intent on exalting him to comparatively respectable position, but it was evident long before the trial closed that his counsel had succeeded in cooking his goose" as society man, and that matchmaking mammas who have access to the testimony in the case, will nardly regard him as an eligible ''catch" TOT their daughters, notwithstanding the oeed was only mortgage. If the allegation in the complaint had been sustained by the evidence, viz: that his enemies had conspired 70 oefraud him of his property, he had his remedy at law, but now that his friends have loooed him of his good name, if he had any, where can he turn for relief.

SILVER BULLIoN.-Anders & Rowe ship to San Francisco, four bars silver bullion from the Agua Fria furnace, weighing 743 ounces, averaging .7l3 fine, the product of 3.600 pounds second-class ore from the Peck tunnel and Evening Star, and three bars from Mulvenon & Roach's smelter onTurky Creek, weighing 77s.7O ounces averaging .eOS fine, the product of nearly one ton of ore from the Peck tunnel, ,-405 pounds of which was first-class, the balance second quality. The first-class ore produced 9 lbs. 12 ozs., aggregating l,52l.70 ounces; value sl ,60l. .29 as assayed by Jay G. Kelley. These figures nary in the way of producing bullion, as the value is too small to suggest anything of the kind, but when it is remembered that smelt- ing ores in this part of Arizona is but an ex- pertinent as yet, and that these figures show a successful solution of the problem, they are important and speak in terms not to be misunderstood of the time in the near future when, instead of ounces, thousands of pounds of silver will be produced every day by means of smelling. The ore is in the ground, the timber and water are at hand, and these experimental works have proven that skill will bring out the bullion. Viewed in this light, these results are of the highest importance, and are the most encouraging evidences of the prospective value of the country that have ever been presented to our understanding.
