SCARLETFEyER.
some Advice 10 the PnbiIc by a
Physician.


Editors lntellIgenUri
In view Of the presence OF this much
to be dreaded disease in our midst, allow
me through your columns to give little
gratuitous advise 10 your readers.
1t is undesirable that the cause Of scar.
let fever is a peculiar injecting substance,
the nature Of which Is as yet problemat.
ical, that can be transferred from the sick
to the we'll, either by actual contact or
by the means ptsome Substance to which
the poison viii adhere, and that this, in.
fectng material has and exhibits the
power q remaining for an indefinite
time, wholly latent, and developing itself
under favorable Conditions and IN sus-
ceptihlesubjeclS.
II therefore becomesthe duty Of every
parent to use the precautions that pru-
dence and sound judgment would dictate,
for 1t is also the TACT that us the age in.
creases the susceptibility decreases.
II is the duty Of all parents not to come
in contact with children sick with scarlet
fever, or 10 permit their children 10 do
so, aud to keep from their children PEG.
pie who have been visiting or waiting
upon scarlet fever patients, and not 10
permit their children TO have or handle
articles that have been used by such sick
persons, clothing, toys, books, &c. To
this end, no parent should attend the
funeral Of person dead with the scarlet
fever, and all children should be prohib.
tied from attending; the duty you owe to
the living Is greater than to the dead.
No display should be permitted at tu.
nerals oil those who have died Of scarlet
fever, and The attendance should be limi.
ted 10 those only who are necessary, the
opening OF the coffin in the presence Of
assembled friends should not be allowed.
II is a duty to exclude from the room
Of a scarlet fever patient every one but
physicians and nurses, to deny entrance
to 'brothe sisters and visitors; all use
lCssarticleS Of furniture should be re-
moved from the patients room, and full
ventilation secured; the patients linen
should he disentected before going to the
wash with the other Clothess handker-
chiefs should be prohibited and in their
stead small bits OF linen or rotten rags
used, and these should be burned.
Those who are getting we'll should not
be allowed to mingle with the other chill
dren until the skin quits peeling of, then
only after a thorough bath and fresh
snlt OF clothes.
There is no preventative measures ex-
cept keeping your child from the means
OF getting the disease. Yours truly,
TO. E.

TO ALI, PARTICULARLY IN
NAlYNS


spring is trying season. Indications
OF sickness 'hOuld at once be at.
tended to. Fatal diseases may be caused
by allowing the bowels TO become consti-
pated and the system to remain in diSor-
dered condition, until the disorder has
time tOdevelop itself. An ounce OF pre-.
vention is worth pound OF cure, is an old
and truthful saying. Therefore we advise
all who are troubled with the complaints
now very prevalent-headache Indigestion,
disordered liver, want of appetite, nausea,
or feverish skin, to take, without delay
Schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know Of
no remedy so harmless and decisive in its
action. 1t at once strikes at the root Of
the disease and produces healthy tone TO
the system. People never need suffer from
any disease arising from u disordered con.
dition OF the liver il they would take this
excellent medicine when they feel the first
indications Of the malady. Families leav.
ing home for the summer months should
take three or four boxes Of these pills with
them. They have IN almost instan taneous
effect. They will relieve the patient Of
headache in one or two hours, and will
rapidly cleanse the liver OF surrounding
bile, and viii etiectuNlly prevent bilious
attack. They are sold by all druggists.

LETTER FROM wICKENBUEc.

EDITOR MtNER:-A brilliant wedding came ofr at Wickcnburg on the 23d of May, at the residence of A. II. Pecple~. Edward Foster Gilbert was married ;o sarah Eliza beth Boncr hy Charles F. Stanton.
 Ed Gilbert k known to every body in the Territory. The young lady i> the daughter of Mr> Peoples sister. the late Nr,. Boncr, whose mechanically death, by burning. 8 few vcars ago, at Mineral Park, aruu,cd the sym pathy of all the Territory for the hcrctt family. From that time. Miss Boner has been the prutcgc of her aunt, who very gracefully handed her over to MT. Gilbert, on the 2;,d inst. not on account of his riches, but that of his uniform good character
 The ceremony took place al seven o'clock P. N., in the midst of brilliant concour>c of ladies and gentlemen. The marriage ser vice concluded. and congratulations of the bride over, the company retired Co the ball room which was decorated with ft>toon, of flowers and evcrgrccns with flags and other decorations and embellishments emblcmatic of the occasion. which caused d beautiful aroma to pcrmcate the whole atmosphere.
 After au hours dancing. the company re- tired to the dining room, where splendid dinner was laid on a table 50 feet long Here wit and hum0r flowed freely: the bride and groom were toasted, al>n iiie host and hostess. After thus fortifying the inner man, the dancing recommended and contin- aed till two o'clock. when breakfast was an renewed vigor, and continued until daylight.

OUR MINES.

Since the establishment of our Territory II years ago, our mines of gold, silver, cop per- iron, etc, never have shown such signs of richness and permanency as at the pres ent time.
 Pima county has great many very val uable mines that arc being sought after by English capitalists as well as those from Cal ifornia and other States The King in Pinal is turning out probably the richest ore of any of our many wOnder0us deposits, Snd Is attracting much attention from mining men and capitalists on the outside.
 Here in Yavapai, our home, where we know what we are talking about, there are hundreds of mines that pay into the thous- ands per ton and are only too ready to- yield up their shining wealth 10 the honest miner, the echo of whose hammer revibrates from every hill and dell throughout our noun tainS, which are bound together with threads of gold and silver. The Peck, Zalida, Black Warrior and such mines are enough to convince the most skcptic that the noun tains surrounding our home, Prescott, Situ- ate in the midst of a beautiful foret of pine, Juniper sud oak, are onevaSt table of metal lie wealth. Such wealth and treasures as those that surround Us on every side and in every section of our fast growing Territory are gifts that are only bestowed upon the pioneer who sewers himself from all that is dear and near 10 him, gives up comforts to partake of haTdShipS, leaves peace and quiet to brave the dangers, plentitude for in- sufhciency, etc. Such has been the case with the pioneers of Arizona and now they are beginning to realize that a brighter day is about to dawn upon and crown thelr mo- blc undertakings.

EXPLANATION.

As much comment has recently been made by citizens of Prescott, and elsewhere, m regard to the late stage roberry, near Wick enburg, we have interviewed |. \. Marshal Standefer on the matter and elicited from him the following facts, which arc substan- tially as follows:
 Owing to the numerous robberies ot our stages, Special Agent Alexander, ot the |. Q. Department, conceived the very excellent idea of employing man who would i,rit out the highwaymen, Tn fact, go Tn Wlth them, and then give information which would insure their arrest. This was done with John Mantle who, a short time since, gave information that led to the arrest of the stage robbers who robbed the stage near Indian Wells. and the recovery of the money. After having been used as deioc- tive in California, he was sent to Arizona for the same purpose. He came here, hunt cal up Johnson and sutton, alias Brophy, went in with them and robbed the stage near Wickenburg, and delivered the bullion into the hands of the stage agent, at Ehrcnherg, at the same time giving Agent Evans inior- nation which led to their arrest, of which our ftA4HfN knNNs AAisAt iAlN attHA ehNttNA' acted entirely in good faith in the recent robbery near Wickenburg, the Marshal Is not prepared Co say, and rather has doubts that he did not, on account of the money delivered over, which leaves quite discreP- encv between the amount delivered over to the agent and that claimed to have been lost
 That any sensible person should for, moment, entertain or harbcr a thought, that the Stage Company have not in this as m all former occurrences of a similar nature, acted on the square k really propOs,erouS and does the Company great injustice who have always been active and went to great trouble and expense in tcrriting out stage robbers and causing their arrest. That they knew Mantle was here for the purpose ot trying to find out the hlghwaymen who infested this section of our Territory. We have no doubt, and that they should try and assist in making the discoveries is perfectly natural and right Marshal S,andctcr arrested John Mantle, took him to the Yuma prison, en- tered a complaint against him as a highway man and he k held to answer at the next term of Grand Jury for the Second Judicial District in the sum of Sl0,000, when if it k found that MT Mantle did not act in good faith and has committed crime. hc will be dealt with according to the extent of his of
