Local telligence,
From Saturdays Daily.

Our associate is out in the mountains "pi ruting' round after mining items. We shall expect batch from him for Monday $ MINER.
 The races at Williamson Valley, on the Sth, were quite well attended, and We hear that Mir Breed did good business.
 Robt. Garside, of Kirkland, Al Doyle and Nathaniel Bowers, from Agua Fria, and others are in town yesterday and to-day.
 The weather is cloudy and threatening to- day, seeming to portend snow-storm.
 Wagons were unloading goods at several stores in town yesterday, and Tom Sanders is expected in to-day or to- morrow with seve- ral wagons III a train.
 Since our item. several days ago, with reference 10 Miller Bros new wagon road to skull Valley, we have ascertained that we were wrongly informed, and that the road is no. yet completed. The brush is all cleared out, but the grading is not done.
 By reference to the manifest of the last steamer from San Francisco, it will be seen tla. there is almost frightful amount of freight on the way to Prescott, and this does moi include the mammoth shipment of C. F. Heal ,y O., which is coming by way of the S F. +. R. The prospects are that within thirty days there will be more goods in Prescott .han ever before.
 The Senator mill house, we learn, is being put in readiness to receive the new ma chinery which is on its way out from Cali fOrnia, and the new mill with its barrel at tachmenis will no doubt constitute the best ra,iu inn in h..
 Teddy Nichols, Division Agent C. tS A. Stage O., returned day or two ago from Pioche, New, where he has been looking after mail matter. The Company own the horseback route from Mineral Park 10 Pi- Oche. Col. Ike aud Mrs. Jennings, at St. Thomas, sent us their regards by Teddy, for which we are much obliged, and, in return, express the hope, which we have long en- ter aimed, that they may make an independ ent fortune as grtngcrs, and live long and be happy.
 We have hitherto neglected in our election reports ,o chronicle the fact that Judge Hez- ikia Brooks was elected Public Administra- tor and Dr. Warren E. Day coroner for this County, on Tuesday. These two offices are more important, by the way, than many imagine.

 ANOTHER WEDDING.-The nuptials of Mir. Jesse Ellis to Miss You're take place at 4 P. M. this day at Williamson Valley. Perfect quietude will exist, we predict, during the ceremony at least, the wisdom, strength and beauty of the Sheriff7s office being pre- .ent. IMPRovEMENTs.-The remodellinc. re- flooring, etc, of the Arizona Brewery is in contemplation by the worthy proprietor Jul. N. Rodenburg.
 The residence of Sheriff Bowers on Marina street is to be plastered and other extensive improvements to be made at Once George Barnard is building extensive addi- tons to his stables at the Horse Market. The main stable will be l7O odd feet in length when completed. He has also sent inside for large red-light lantern, which has arrived and will be hung up in the pinnacle. A rcd light in railroading means danger, therefore he warns teamsters to put on the brake when they see the signal.
 Thos. Cherry has shown us two assays made by Kelley X Drew, one from the None Such mine, situated on Slate Creek, which yields by assay s3O3.55 to the ton. The other is from the Bedbug lode on Hassayam. pa and only went S3S.9i.
 SevernO Chavis was arrested this morning charged with having forged an order and at- | tempted to pass it upon John G. Campbell. Chavis says he bought it from another Mexi- can, which Mfr. Campbell suspects to be the truth, but had to begin on the man in whose possession the paper was found in order to arrive at the real state of the case. John H. Marion, having rented his place at the mouth of Granite Creek, has removed | back to town with his family, arriving late yesterday evening. We understand that he has taken the position of Editor of the new paper about to be started here.

 Three of Rowell & Taylor's heavy teams came in this morning loaded down to the guards with goods for Goldwater Bros. The Little Colorado mail will be into-mor. row evening when We may reasonably ex- pect to hear from some if not at all, of the precincts east of the Mogollons. The ques- ton as to Sheriff will be definitely settled, provided they all come in, and the agony will be over SC far as that office is concerned. For Treasurer, neither the candidates them selves nor any one else has kept the figures with sufficient accuracy to tell anything about it and if the contest shall be any way close, after heariug from that country, the official count will have to be depended on for information as to who is elected.

It is perhaps useless to say to those who lad the dispatches to-day that absolutely nathing more is known or can be conjcctur- cd as to which of the candidates is elected PRsident. The reports are SO conflicting that they are almost worthless, and yet they .sethe best that can be had on this coast. The c. S A.

 If it would do any good to lay before the reader The ulIncultlcS unuer WHICH tuc news gather labors, especially after the excitement of closely contested election has partially subsided, we should adopt the rule so often indulged in by country editors and bore our patrons with an homily on the dullness and insipedness of the times. But as each one can but see for himself that items of an in teresting character are exceeding scarce, the difficulty of finding them where they do not exist will of course suggest itself, and save us the trouble of calling attention to it.
 No change in the figures for Delegate since day before yesterday. There are ru- mors of returns from Little Colorado but nothing to depend on. The election is evi- dently too close to determine without the official count, and that we will not get until Monday.

TILDEN is reputed to be worth 7,O00,-
900 of dollars-at all events he is one of
the wealthiest men in the United States.
Where did he get it ? He did not inherit
any of it; his business has been that of
practicing lawyer, and no lawyer in
this country ever made the one fourth
part of that sum legitjnaately in the
practice of his profession. Charles
OConnor, VIM. M. Evarts and all the
other great lawyers of the country are
possessed, at the most, of only q mod
crate competence. Tilden, in point of
ability and practice, does not rank with
ing four degrees Of them. How then
has he made SO much money? He
made it as a railroad lawyer, by fleeing
the corporations which came into his
hands. The issue of the suit of the st.
Louis, Alton and Telre Haute Railway
Company now pending against HMM
which he and his confreres are charged
with unlawfully converting to their own
use 81, 900, 900, and in which he had the
time to answer extended until after the

answer to the question.

The Oakland (Cal.) Transcript tells
the following pleasant story: ''There
has lived in this city the past few years
quiet, modest gentleman, by the name
of Peter Miller. He has resided in this
State twenty years, worked in the mines,
and part of the time at his trade, carpen-
tering. Years ago he commenced to
send home to his widow mother, living
in Michigan, what he could afford to
spare from his earnings. Being bach
elor, he could not brook the idea of
having the idol of his heart toll in her
declining years, consequently he sent
her money from time to time, making
no entry of it, but presuming his worthy
relative would use it as she deemed
proper. After years of absence his
mother kept writing for him to return,
but like other old Californians he was
broud, and did not desire to go back
until he had sufficient to Show that he
was from the Golden State. Time works
changes, SO it did with Peter; he found
himself about month ago without labor
strapped to use the common term
and the surroundings neither pleasant
nor satisfactory. He was unwell, and
thought of home and the friends of his
youth back in the Wolverine. districts.
lie wrote to his mother that he could
not conceal his pride any longer, and
stated the situation; if he had money he
would return, but he had to make it.
Monday last he received check for
$500, and in the letter was stated that
the money he had been sending home
for years had been invested in real es-
tate, and that he had better come back
and take charge of his property, which
WAS worth over $40, 900.

A CURIOUS FIsh.-The chromis pater-
familias is the appropriate name Of a
fish found in the Lake Of Tiberlus,
which matches its young in its mouth.
When the female has spawned in the
sand the male approaches and draws
the eggs into its gills, where they remain
until Matched, when they struggle out
of their confinement into the parents
mouth. AS many as two hundred per-
feet young are sometimes found in the
mouth of an adult male. How the fish
manages to feed himself without swallow
ing the young is mystery. The fish is
about seven inches long and one and
three quarters wide. It's back is olive
green shot with blue. Near ancient
Capernaum, some hot springs from a
small stream which runs into lakes, and
it is in these warm waters that the chro-
mis- is found. The fish tribes offer
many curiosities to the students of ma
ture, and rules which hold good with
many other division of the animal king
dom may be entirely reversed among
the denizens of the water. = IVittaker's
Magazine.

INDIAN MASSACRE.
Gen. Custer and His Entire Command
Killed--Seventeen Commissioned
Officers and Over 500
Men Missing.

SALT LAKE, July ga special CORE
spondent of the Helena (Montana) Her
aid writes from Saltwater, Montana,
under date of July 2, as follows: Mug
gins Taylor, scout for Gen. Gibbon, got
here last night direct from Little Horn
River. Gen Custer found the Indian
camp of about 1900 lodges on Little
Horn, and Immediately attacked the
camp. Custer took five companies and
charged the thickest portion of the camp.
Nothing is known of the operations OF
this detachment only as they traced it
by the dead. Major Reno commanded
the other seven companies and attacked
the lower portion of the camp. The
Indians poured in a murderous fire from
all directions, besides the greater por-
ton fought ON horseback. Custer, his
two brothers, nephew and brother-in law
were all killed, and
NOT ONE OF HIS DETACHMENT ESCAPED.
Two hundred and seven men were bur
led IN one place, and the killed are eS-
timated at 800, with only 81 wounded.
The Indians surrounded Reno's COM
mand, and held them one day in the
hills, cut off from water, until Gibbons
command came in sight, when they
broke camp i'll the night and left. The
Seventh fought like tigers, and were
overcome by mere brute force. The
Indian loss cannot be estimated, as they
bore off and cached most of their dead.
The remnant of the Seventh cavalry and
Gibbons command are returning to the
mouth of the Little Horn, where q
steamboat lies.
The Indians got all the arms of the
killed soldiers. There were seventeen
commissioned officers killed. The
whole Custer family died at the head of
their column. The exact loss is not
known as both !adjutants and sergeant
major were KILLED. The Indian camp
was from three to four miles long, and
was 20 miles up the Little Horn from its
mouth. The Indians actually pulled
men off their horses in some instances.
I give this as Taylor told me, as he was
over the field after the battle. The
above is confirmed by other letters
which say Custer met fearful disas-
fer

GENERATION of MoTIoN.-To generate
motion has been found a characteristic
common, with one exception, to all the
phases of physical force. We hold the
bulb of thermometer in our hands,
and the mercury expands in bulk, and,
rising along the scale, indicates the in
crease of heat it has received. We
heat water, and it is converted into
steam, and moves our machinery,
our carriages, and our iron clads.
We bring a loadstOne near q number of
iorn filings and they move toward it,
arranging themselves in peculiar and in
tricate lines; or we bring piece of iron
near magnetic needle, and we find it
turned away from its ordinary position.
We rub a piece of glass with silk, thus
throwing it into state of electrical
excitement. and we find that bits of
paper or thread fly toward It, and are,
in q few moments repealed again. If
we remove the supports from a mass of
matter it falls, the influence OF gravi-
tation being here most plainly expressed
in motion as shown in clocks and water
mills. If we fix pieces of paper upon a
stretched string, and then sound must
cal note near it, we find certain of the
papers projected from their places.
Latterly the so called sensitive fames,"
which are violently agitated by certain
musical notes, have become well known
as instances of the conversion of sound
into motion. How readily chemical
force undergoes the same transforma-
ton is manifested in such catastrophies
as those of Bremerhaven, in the recent
deplorable coal-mine explosions, aud
indeed, in every discharge of gun.
But light, in some respects the high
est of the powers Of nature, has not
been hitherto found capable of direct
conversion into motion, and such an
exception cannot but be regarded as a
singular anomaly.-Professor Crookes,
ia Popular Science Aonthlg.

IN Jamaica where oranges are a drug
in the market, they scrub floors with
them. 1t was done at the house of a
friend of the writer's. The floor was of
hard, polished wood, and before the
family were out of bed, two three color
ed servents scrubbed over the whole of
it with sour oranges cut in halves.
When the juice was rubbed ont of one
piece they would take another, and so
on until they used big trayful of them.
A polish was put on by rubbing with
coeoa1ut husk, and the floor looked as
if it had leen waxed.

CHEMISTRY IN A GRAVE.
Remarkable and Curious Preservation
of Human Bodies-SaponAceous
Petrifaction.
from the Clinton Qowa) Herald.l

From the Clinton Qowa) Herald.l
Some fourteen years ago two children
of Mr.. Calvin Upton, aged and z
years respectively, died of scarlet fever
and were buried on the lot now vacant
corner Fourth street and Second avenue.
1t was at first intended to remove the
bodies to the East, and to preserve the
remains the interior of each coffin was
lined with zinc, the top being soldered
to place in order to make it air tight.
The collins were buried deep; and were
laid upon the solid limestone roc,Z which
underlies the soil in that vicinity. A
few days ago Mr.. Upton decided to have
the bodies of his children removed to
s5pringdale cemetery, and to this end
the coffins were disinterred and were
found to be remarkably well preserved
but unusually heavy-so weighty, i'll
fact, that it required two men to lift
either of the little caskets. This fact
did not attract much attention, how
ever, and the bodies were duly inferred
in the cemetery without being examin-
cd.
a day or two after the second inter
ment one of orr physicians learned Of
the peculiar fact attaching to the little
collins, and through his urging MIR.
Upton permitted the collins to be again
taken up and opened, when the specta-
tors, including several doctors, were
greatly astonished to notice the good
state of preservation within the caskets.
The features were white and regular in
form, the clothing was undecayed, and
even some natural flowers which were
placed IN one tiny hand upon the peace
full breast were as fresh in appearance as
when they were placed there fourteen
years ago Upon touching the face, the
physicians were still further astonished
by the discovery that the bodies, by
some chemical action, had been trans
formed into hard substance resembling
white soap. The face when touched,
we were told, 'sfelt just like SOAP" and
the usual weight OF the caskets indicated
that sort of petrifaction lad also taken
place. No extended examination of the
remains was made, in deferance to the
friends of the dead children, and the
bodies were again consigned to the
grave.
1t is supposed that the caskets were
some time alright, but that finally the
lime water forced its way inside, and by
one of those curious chemical processes
peculiar to natures laboratory produced
the results noted. These circumstances,
which are even yet but little known in
the community, will be interesting to
the scientific world, and will no doubt
occasion much discussion when the
facts become current.

THE following statement of the cost
of the "big guns of Europe is from the
London Engineer: The 81 ton gun has
cost $4,000, and the price named for
the Newcastle infants" of 100 tons,
for the italian nave, is $780, 900 each.
The cost of the Krupp monster will be
$50, 0O0 or more. The latter will send
