Last week preparations were made 10 remove the records to the latter town. when the transfer was ordered stopped by Secrctar!

 ft has been the impression of many of our leading citizens that MT.

Lusk, in which he states that he is mak- ing purchase of a tcn-stamp quartz mill of the very latest pattern, and will start il for Prescott within a very short time. MT. Lusk is a man known to represent means. and from what VIC have seen and know of him. should judge him to be determined, and anything he undertakes will most sure ly be accomplished. The following from the Sacramento Agriculturist will give the reader an idea of what MT. Lusk indcnds to do, and what he thinks of Arizona and its future:
 About six weeks since, Mir. D <. LuSk left this city for Arizoua strongly impressed with the belief that he could make a fortune Yesterday he entered our office bearing a package, which he most joyously unfoldcd to our a>tonishcd gaze, which revealed some specimens oi ore that hc had brought home with him, obtained from the Peck mine, Tip Top mine. Hidden Treasure, Midday, Cr2Sscut, Cottonwood, Clifton, Eugene, and several mi6sS in the Big Bug District which assay all the way from Si00 to $22 .000 to the ton These mines are all located in the Bradshaw mouptainS. which contain the most prosperous and regularly defined lodges in that Territory. Mir. LuSk says that the land about Prescott is at too high an elevation for agriculture. On Gila, san Pedro and Salt Rivers the land is all good for cultivation and rich in minerals. Sugar cane. cotton and corn can all be profitablv raised. This land all comes under the Desert Land Bill" and can hc taken up in section tracts, al - cents per acre. by living on and cultivating it. Mir l.. says that every acre of this land, in less than ten years, will be worth from one to five hund- rcd dollars. Mr. L. returns in the highest spirits, and is very confident that he has al- ready secured Gn immense fortune. speci- mems of these ores can bc seen by calling on Mr. Lusk at his residence Tenth and l, where he will remain for few days He intends to return to Arizona in short time taking back q quartz mill of the very latest improvement. Mir. L. says for live man Prescott now offers A superior chance to start hotel.
