THE San Francisco Post mention. Ia new CalifOrnia-M Mexican industry One of the last vessels from MaZatlan
 brought shipment of several bags of IOn nuts, consigned to parties in this .city for the purpose of having the oil pressed and finding out the result. The tree on which the nut grows is some
 thing like the date palm, and the nut
 Is about the size of hens egg. By put
 ting the nut on the end of a Sharp-
 pointed piece of stick one can set
 fire 10 IL with a match, when It blaZes
 instantly and throws out a beautiful
 white flame. The natives of Mexico,
 Central and South America use the oil of the nut for lighting theIr homes. Oiling their hair, polishing their bodies and ID various other ways. They ey. tract the oil by maShing the nuts be tween stones. \ well known MazatlaD merchant has written tO a capitalist in this city requesting him 10 ascertain the cost of steam power press to ex- tract the oil. The nutbearing tree is very prolific, and is to be found in i'm mense quantities along the coast reg ions of tropical America. Not far from MaZatlan there is a grove capable of producing 100000 gallons yearly, | but the trees are almost useless for the | want of proper machinery to press the )il. The article sells in Mazatlan for s3.5O to S6 per arroba, according to f he supply of the market and the de- | nand. An aTroba is twenty-five { pounds, and contains about three gal |, ons. The quantity brought 10 market !, s readily sold. The oil produced from i he oil nut makes the finest fancy soap n the world, superior % anything pro E ured from the cocoa nut or the cocoa t ut palm. For lamp and lubricating [ purposes it is superior As a fatteninC la rucle 1t possesses rare qualities. Cat Ia e, pigs and fowls eat the nut with It vidity, and the flesh of animals feed
 lg upon it is very white and delicate.
 ven when the oil IS pressed out the l. fuse is used as food for cattle, and
 eding upon it they grow fat, sleek

The Herald of February 27, says:
 We are pleased to learn that, at last, a post-office has been established on the Lower Gha. It is called "Richmond," !" and c. W. Arnold is postmaster. The office is now open.
 We understand that the necessary amount has been subscribed for the re- .quired poles to insure the extension of .the telegraph line from Fort Bayard to this place.
 The news from the Clifton mines the Longfellow Copper Mining Com .pany-is encouraging. The new smelt- ling process has proved a success, but they require a better article of fire clay. The mines show 10000 tons of ore in sight
 The report that three Americans were found dead on the Lower Gila is not credited by some of those living in that vicinity. A gentleman lately from Ithat nelghborhood informed us that after diligent search they failed to find the remains of any bodies.
 Jose Cordova, whom we noticed in our last as having been arrested and placed in jail on suspicion of horse stealing is still there and likely to re main, until taken thence upon a re quisiton from the governor of Arizona. Sheriff Whitehill is in receipt of let ter from James Lee, dated Tucson, Feb. l21, in which he says: "I an informed by blackboard driver that my gray horse and the men who stole him are in Silver City. Take charge of the animal. MT Bailey will identify the horse"
 The horse was stolen from Camp Grant on the night of the 18th. The thief also stole from MT. Cooly, a saddle, bridle, blankets, ropes, and a violin from some one else. Cordova had a hearing in Judge Rilea's court which resulted in his being held Tn the

4 Good Officer

President Grant, on Februarv 1T ,a
 nominated DeForest Porter to be assn.
 ciate justice of the supreme court of
 this Territory. This is the office at
 present held by Judge Porter, and os
 the nomination of the President
 will undoubtedly be confirmed by inc
 Senate, We may take it for granted that
 the honest and efficient manner in
 which this office has been filled duriDc
 the past four years, has been rewarded. by continuance in the high position' Of the present incumbent. We do m, think Judge Porter could have bepn more worthily succeeded. He has potl only performed his duties faitbHllIvi and well but he has made a business or and confined himself strictly to bisi legitimate duties. Judge DeForesti Porter has the respect, esteem and con. fdence of the people generally.
 We believe We express the common | sentiment of suffering humanity when we say that there is probably no office In the land which presents so wide q field for usefulness, and at the same time Is so seldom properly filled. as that of judge. To be an honest industrious impartial, unpreiudiced lucge' confning himself strictly to his legitimate duties, is a good andi uSeiul sphere in life. To be partial O preJudiced judge, with all the eneroies [ oi his mind absorbed in outside in [, lerests' from soul-saying and land snec 8 nlaiion down to wetnursing. is q ver,. e different thing, and can finally come u 70 be an unbearsble nuisance. Ii
