THE QUARTERLY MEETING.-Revs. Groves and Hcdypeth have successfully conducted mis sion here for term of 14 days, aed succeeded in awakening greater interest in religions mat ters than was ever before known in Yayapai county. The last Sunday night was crowned with greater success than had attended their efforts before, and it was thought they might easily have kept up the interest week longer. The house was so crowded on Sunday night that many had to go away for want of standing room, and eight persons joined the Church, making sixteen in all during the continuance of the meetings. These were mostly strangers to us, but from their appearance we judge them to be earnest Christians and good citizens. By refer epce to our subscription lists. where majority of the permanent residents of the County have thelr names enrolled, we fail to discover any si theirs. therefore we conclude they must be stran. rers Mir. Wiley, of this place, developed during the revival more than ordinary capacity for preaching and, in accordance with the wish Of Quarterly Conference, the Presiding Elder. Rev. Alexander Groves, ordained him and put him in charge of Prescott Station of the Methodist Church South.

RICH AND MORE OF Tive were shown this week number of specimens taken rom the bottom of the lS0-foot shaft on the Peck mine, where they have large ledge and pay streak fourteen inches wide that assays over two thousand dollars 10 the ton. Also several samples from the tunnels being run into the mountain by Col. Bigelow and others. It is no exaggeration to say that at no time since the mine was discovered have any better specimens been exhibited, and Mir. Bean assures us that they have better ledge and richer ore at the depth of one hundred and thirty feet than at any other point within the last forty feet that has been sunk. He exhibited piece of the red oxide of silver such as we have never before seen and which we judge to be very rich. This latter specimen has been shown to many mining men, and thus far they all pronounce 1t very unusual character of ore, and as 1t is the first that has been found in this mine they hope to sec more of it as they go down. MT. B. T. Riggs, tue new foreman, who Is familiar with all the washoe and California mines, declares him. self bewildered with the extraordinary richness aud wonderful development of the Peck.

FROM THE SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULoUs.- During the administration of the sacrament Of the Lords Supper on Sunday evening last at the meeting on Mccormick Street, notwithstanding the solemnlty Of the occasion, the congregation, not excepting some of the Ministers, were con- strained to smile, some of them audably, at a ludicrous event that transpired. poor old drunkea simpleton known as "Dr Hess" whose breath was so charged with the fumes of whiskey as te render him nuisance to those near bim in the audience, walked up with the communicates and made dive for the bottle con- taining the sacramental wine. The presiding elder, Rev. A. Groves, happened to take in tue situation at glance, and "stood him of" but he was hard to bluff, and contended for several min utes for drink. He didn't seem to care for the bread but felt like communing with them in wine Parson Groves tried very hard to keep straight face, as the solemn surroundings required, and at one time essaycd to weep with those who wep. and were unconscious of the ridiculous scene that was being enacted, but we could discover beneath bis hands, with which he attempted to cover his face, that he was in the condition of the boy who "couldn't cry for laughing"

FORT WHIPpLE DRAMATIC AssOCIATIoN.-On Monday evening we were again under ooiiga' tions to this Association for an invitation to De present al the rendition of two plays at the Gen. Crook Club Rooms. The first was Ranches Vaudeville, "Thc Loan of Lover," m which Lieut. Scott appeared us "Capt. Amersort,' and maintained the dignity of his position as rich officer admirably. This was in the Old country, where officers do get rich. Judge Johnson, as "Peter Spyk," brought down the house with DIS drolleries, and left the impression that this was not his first love affair; in fact he acted as 1T he was used to it. Col. Martin, as he always does, rather improved than detracted from the origi- nal character of "Swyzel," and made all out of 1t there was to be made Lieut.. Whitney was "Delve," and seconded his superior, "Swyze" to perfection. But without wishing to withhold from any of the players their well earned iaureis' it is but simple justice to say that Mrs. Van Horn was the trump card. In her earnest sympathy with her assumed character, she seemed to eh' tirely forget that she had ever been Mrs. Major Van Horn or any body else but poor, little "Ger- trude," the orphan girl, who had never had bean and was bent on securing lover at all nag ards. We felt like throwing turnip al 'Petcr's" head for being so stupid as motto see al once that she was worth a thousand such girls as those who were awaiting the result of his ncgo' ,iations with the Captain. Mrs. Col. Martin was inst the person to represent the daughter of the rich Baron. and as "Ernestine Rosendaa, shown elegantly. She is tall, handsome, queen'y and dcommandng,-just the person to snno an importunatc lover and to take him back again at her pleasure. The afterpece was repetition of Tom Taylor's Commedietta ITO Oblge Benson"
 same cast as before, and same character of act ing except that they all showed superior prepa' ration by being "well up." Here, AS on the for mer occasion, of which we had something to say two weeks ago. Col Martin and Mrs. Van Horn, as "Mr. and Mrs. Trottcr Southdown," Kept the audience in a roar of laughter, and thoroughly established their right to place in the iront rank of amateur performers. We sought diii- gently for pretext for adverse criticism in order to torestall any suspicion of mutual admiration but failed to find even hook on which to hang an objection, therefore we pronounce it splendid and return thanks for the privilge of being there This being the holy season of Lent, there will be no further performances by the Association until after Easter.

BoNpEp.-W. M Wilson, of whom we spoke last week as having gone to look at the War Ea- gle mine, returned on Saturday and ieft TOT san Francisco on Monday. having taken bond rom Jackson tS Co, for their interest, at the rate of thirteen dol ars a foot, or s200OO for the mine and slO 900 for the old Del Pasco mill and two mill-stes adjacent to the property. The bond is to run ninety days, which will take it to the hrst of June, but MT. Wilson thinks he will not ask more than sixty, which, if he succeeds as he thinks he will in raising money, will enable him to consumate the purchase about the first of May. Those who know the property think 1t cheap at twice the money.

Sitting Bulbs Request

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs today received a letter from In.
dian Agent Mitchell, dated Fort Peck Monta.
ma, September 18th, conveying the surprising
intelligence that Sitting Bull coolly asks per-
mission for his warriors to come into that agen-
cy to trade for ammunition. Agent Mitchell
writes as follows:
Little Buck Elk, an Uncapapa and chief Of
soldiers band, arrived here on the evening of
the 231, six nights out from Sitting Bulls
camp, bearing a message from him to myself
Sitting Bull sent him to ascertain whether
would allow hostile Indians to come IN and
trade for ammunition. l dispatched messen-
ger to his camp informing him that they should
get no ammunition here or on this reservation,
hut it they desired to come in and surrender
their arms and all government property in their
possession, would treat them kindly and pro-
vide for them until could receive instructions
will receive reply from Sitting Bull within
ten days or two weeks"
Little Buck in reply 10 the question, "Where
do you get your ammunition" said Soldiers
brought it to US, meaning that 1T was taken
from dead soldiers, and the traders from the
burning grounds furnish some. Tue burning
grounds embrace the country from south of the
Black Hills TO the Platte river. Agent Mitch
ell writes in conclusion, SIT is my Judgment
that if this trade could be prohibited, all hos
tile Indians would be driven into agencies be-
fore the close of the winter to avoid starva-
