FROM PECK DIsrRIcT.-Ed. Peck, Col. H A. Bigelow and c. O. Bean have been ir town several days during the week and all tell the same story as to the extraordinary developments in that region.
 Only seven miles packing are now required in order to reach the wagon road leading into Walnut Grove, aod they estimate that s2,000 will convert the pack trail into a far road for hauling quartz.
 We repeat the warning of a few weeks ago, that if the business men ard property holders of Prescott, and Yavapai County, do not wake up to the necessity of road from Prescott 10 those mines, and act upon it while it may be done, the trade of that richest of all mining camps will be lost to both town and county forever. The trade once started by wagons in the direction of the river and railroad, with nothing but a pack trail to Prescott and blind man ought to SC with his mouth, that it is gone to stay, unless far superior road be made in this di- rcction in future and railroad traverse the country to the north of us within reach.
 The time to secure prize is while it may be had, before it has been appropriated by others, and if we negligently let this one go it will be our own fault if others reap ben- eft we might have secured.

WILL BLow.-We learn that it is the in- tention of the parties engaged in building the furnaces at Bashford's mill on Agua Fria, to start up on copper ore on Monday next.
 Their object iu smelling copper in the be- ginning is to make enough of that metal to cast tewel for the blast furnace. The first run will therefore be made in the reverbera- tory furnace as a necessity in preparing for the blast.
 After they get the works going, ifsuccess- ful. they propose to smelt with the blast and refine in the reverberatory works, both of which are up and ready for action awaiting only the completion of the fan and tewel for the blast

RUBE THOMAS AND THE ROAD AGENTS
 The San Bernardino Times of January l7th,
 has this account of stage robbery which
 was briefly mentioned in our dispatches of
 that date. It will be seen, also, that Sidney
 Nee, of this place, joined in tn chase and
 assisted Thomas in chasing the robbers away
 from the treasure:
 "It appears that at 5 o'clock this morning.
 or just as day was breaking, the California and Arizona stage was nearing the crossing of the San Tmotoe creek, about mile from
 Old San Bernardino, when two masked men jumped iron the brush, one of whom, a small man, headed the team, while the other . large man, advanced toward the driver with six-shooter in each hand, demanded the treasure box The driver told him there was nothing in it. "Throw it out, anyway" was the rejoinder This the driver proceed ed to do by waking up a man named Van Slyke, who was asleep in the boct on top of the box. As soon as the box was obtained, the despersdoes told the driver to drive on, which he did for a short distance, at the same time calling to the occupants of the inside of the coach who were asleep. One of these, Mr Thomas, Division Agent, wher made aware of what had transpired, jumped from the coach, revolver in hand, followed by MT. Sidney Nee, passenger, and Mir. Van Slyke, and ran toward the spot where the box had been thrown out.
