SEEDS FOR GRATUITous DIsTRIBUTIoN.- A. S. Clough Esq.

TERRITORIAL SCHOOL MoNEYs.-The Citi- zen of the 18th has an account of the tri- ennial apportionment of the school fun1, on the 9th inst: Whole amount in Fund, S2,- 595.9l, of which Pima county, on tte basis of an average daily attendance at school of 122a5 pupils, gets s759.9l; Yavapai, on an average of l0l, gets S626; Yuma, 955, gets S59264 Maricopa, 66, gets S40S.79; Mo have, 2. gets S43.35; Pinal, 265s, gets Sl64.50. Some of the Counties not having paid, it is thought as much more may be ap- portioned in March.
 From the foregoing it will be seen that Yavapai comes within 2l25 of having as many pupils in attendance at school as Pima, which under the old rule of counting noses in the street, got away with the lions share of the cash. But then one school in Yavapai has risen from 9 to 20 on its roll within year, and four new districts have been organized within the time where there were but few children last year.

CENTENNIAL SPEcIMENs.-The specimens of ore etc. sent from this county for exhibi- tion at the Centennial were carried by Mill Ter Bros. to Ehrenberg marked w. W. Jones, Centennial Agent, care of Fitzgerald. and as they have not been heard from since they ar rived at Ehrenberg it is probable that they are still there. The unexpected resignation ot Dr. Jones rendered it impossible, after the time for drawing the appropriation made by the lsst legislature had passed, to make the money available in case another commits sioner was appointed and thus the matter rests. No commissioner to take charge of Arzonas offerings and no money available even to ship the specimens to their destina- ton where Gov. Mccormick has sgniied willingness to see that they are properly ex- hIbited without charge.
 Something ought to be done, but will it Thos. Ewing of Pima County has underta- ken on his own account to see his county represented oy forwarding several hundred pounds to Gov. Mccormick, according to the Citizen of the 12th,

PLAYFUL.-The Citizen seizes an item in the MINER, with reference to the number of pounds and feet shipped by the steamer Gila and, after running round after its own tail a spell, losses it up in the air and plays with it with as much apparent satisfaction as kit ten would young mouse she had caught and crippled but not quite killed.
 The Citizen is evidently acting under a new impulse and if we could feel assured that such laches of ours as the one alluded to were having the effect of bait of catnip on the dropping spirits of cur contemporary it would be a pleasure to us to afford it simi- lar relief as occasion seems to require.

MoHAvE IrEMs.-Feb. 18th :-MineraI Park mill IS running successfully, day and night on the Keystone ore. All the mschin- cry works to charm and the roasting fur mace, the first of its kind on this coast, is a perfect success. The Keystone is still look ing well and turning out a large quantity ot ore.
 Mir. Garfield will resume work on the "63'' mine soon.
 f. J. Christy has returned from San Fran cisco where he took eight tons of ore from his mine, the Metallic Accident, which net ted hin, several thousand dollars. He will at once resume work on his mine, and the ore will be worked here. This mine pays better profits on the amount invested in work than any other mine here, it is only one mile from town. Several large teams arrived from Blackberry with ore yesterday and re- turned with supplies. Messrs. Davis and Jones, of Blackberry, are in town.
 The stage company charges fifty dollars from San Bernariino here and only forty to Prescott, hundred and twenty miles fur, ther, which we all regard as gross outrage.
 found package in the road between here and Cerbat few days ago addressed to Prescott which had evidently been lost from the mail. gave it to Postmaster Cory to forward. this relate to show the care they take of mail matter. The general opinion here is that they are fraud on the people. Their charges are really outrageous.

BLACK HILLS.

The Black Hills, Is miles northeast of Prescott, are attracting attention by reason of the discovery of gold and silver iodes which assay from I3 dollars to 400 dollars and over per ton. The lod,s are convenient of access for teams, and being close to tim Der and water, promise to be developed at an early day, and will tend 10 increase the popularity of the vicinity of Prescott as safe and advantageous locality for the invest ment of capital,
 The Emmett" mine, Beverage specimens of which can be seen at Mr. Pletz' assay office, Prescott), is being developed success fully The surface width of the vein CA inches) and the character of the ore remains about the same at depth If 10 feet, as far as it is opened. Although the mine has not been worked sufficiently 10 judge satisfac- torily of it, yet the ledge, as far as it can be tr ced, shows uniformly high grade of ore, and the existence of another ledge within the bounds of the first, makes the claim valuable. Other mines in the vicinity show nearly the same characteristics as the Elm met, and although assaying lower, are on account of the favorable location valuable, but owing to the absence of reduction mills are not, of course productive-a general complaint in this neighborhood
 The "Canton" mine. GOO feet south of the Emmet, large distinct cropping, and one of the extensions of the Emmet, together with the "Kitty,' a silver lode five feet wide, are the only mines in the district be- ing worked.
 The country within a radius of four miles from the Emmet contains a great deal of good paying ore, which only awaits the capitalist to make Lonesome Valley one of the most productive districts in Arizona.
 The Messrs. Miller of Prescott, are inter- ested in the "Emmet," and propose to put up machinery for tbe reduction of their ores, as soon as satisfactory progress shall have been made. l..

TERRITORIAL.

Phoenix, Feb. l5.-Mr. Phelps, Assistant Engi neer of the Southern Pacific Railroad arrived here last week having made an ex- perimental survey of the route from Earen- berg to this valley. He is favorable to the route and says it is nearly straight and al- most entirely through good country Capt. Smith who left here some two months ago to reconnoiter south returned for further ord CTS. Should Congress grant this company the right to build east it is safe to say that Salt River and San Francisco will be connec- ted by rail within one year. Mir. Phelps and party left on Sunday to run lile from here to Yuma, but Ehrenberg is the choice as be- ing the shortest and straigh.est. Nearly all the grain to be sown in this valley is in the ground, being somewhat more than last year with prospect of better crops, but the de- mand has increased in proportion to the pros- pective yield. s or of the grain sown this year will be owned or controlled by a few men who are able to hold for high pri- ces. Two and half cents are now offered for the coming crop with no takers. It is calculated that 4,500,000 pounds will be raised in Salt River Valley. 3,OOO,OOO of which will be barley. Last year there were about 2,000, ,0U pounds raised but the old crop on hand was much greater than now Now there are not 1000 pounds for sale.
 Contractors should bear this in mind. and look before they leap.
 Florence, Feb. 4.-Another valuable dis covery has been made in Globe District, an extension of the Champion, owned by Cly- mer and Wilson. Prospects for this District are good, Silver King is showing we'll.
 Burns, owner of the Sherman mine, shot and killed Jones of Silver City, N. M., four days ago for jumping his claim. Burns is now in town under arrest.
