Drivinx Stock 10 Arizona.

Costly mistakes are made by some men in driving stock from the direc iion of California into Arizona, and made by men who have, as a rule, means ,o avoid them. Before attempting to drive cattle or sheep over the great Col
 orado desert in California, the owners should be familiar with the rOute-its lack of water. feed, &c. Stock can be drlven over without loss or much inju
 ry, bnt seldom are by men unfamiliar with the points stated. With fair man. agement, stock can be safely brought up the Gila valley at any season of the year. There is always water at every mile, and either grass or mesquite beans and browse or all of them along the whole route, but on the Colorado des
 ert, all needful accommodations are very scarce. and therefore only the best management will bring stock safely over it. Very recently, We are told, 6 party brought into Arlzona from Ore gon some 200 head of an improved breed of cattle. Being unfamiliar with the route. he lost some and all got poor and the consequences were discourage
 ment and a sale somewhere in the Gi Ia valley at about S9 per head. Had the owner made Q trip over the route at an expense of a couple of hundred dollars, ascertained and poted the diff. culties and advantages, he could have brought his stock through with hule if auy loss and in fair condition. As a rule, stock cannot be successfully grazed in large bodies in the Arizona valleys. The mesas and mountains bear the good grass in abundance. Be fore any man attempts 10 bring cattle or sheep here in large 5roves, he should, in advance, know where he is going to locate them, and the accommodations along the route. A dozen or so can be safely brought without such precau- iions, out herds cannot be. There are millions of acres of good grass-good every month in the year-not yet occu- pied by cattle or sheep, and by careful examination, water can usually be found either on the surface or by dig
 glng, no: very deep, in ihe pasiurage sections. The beef and mutton of Ar
 zona at thls time, after an unusually dry Summer, are fat 4 look into any meat market shows this 10 be true, and yet the only feed is natural grass. Peo- pie abroad should not be discouraged as to the bringing of stock into this Territory by the report of anybody who failed to safely bring stock hither, for in nine cases iu ten such failure is at
 tributable 10 the causes above stated.

New Remedy for Baldaesa.

Persons afflicted with badness will be glad to hear that a luxuri- ant growth of hair may be pro- duced by a very simple process, described by British Consul Stew ems, in his commercial report on Nicoleaf for the past year. A for. nor servant of the COnsul's, pre- maturely bald, whose duty it was to trim lamps, had a habit of wip- ing h is petroleum -besmeared hands in the scanty locks, which remained to him; and, after three months of lamp.trimmIng expert ence. his dirty habit procured for him 8 much finer head of glossy black hair than he ever possessed before, in his recollection. The petroleum should be of the most refined American qualities, bbed in vigorously and quickly with the palm of the hand. and applied at intervals of three days. six or seven times in all, except in the case of horses tail and names, when more applications may be requisite.-Pa MaU Gdzette.

A special to The CaN says of the daily mail service on the San Diego and Mesilla route:
 "This action is taken on the rec Ommendation of the entire Cali fOrnia delegation in Congress, and Of the Territorial delegation, rein forced by memorials from the Legislatures of Arizona and New Mexico, and the San Diego Board of Trade. Ex-Governor Me COrmick has also given the mat ter his personal attention. Efforts have been made for fourteen year, to procure these mail facilities. and Department officials say that the papers on file in this case are wholly unprecedented in number and the total amount of influence which they represent. The ser vice now obtained gives Arizona daily communication with the rest of the world, for the first time in her history"
 Our delegate, Hon. H. s. Stew ems, is also entitled to great credit for the persistent efforts made by him in this direction.

 ED. SENTINEL: 1 have just re. turned from an extended trip into the western part of Yavapai and the eastern part of Mohave coun- ties, and herewith give you the notes and observations made on my journey. The country be- tween the Santa Maria creek and the Big Sandy is quite large, but of a malpais formation, broken, rocky and full of box caaons. Most of it is unfit for agricultural purposes and little of it is lit for grazing. Water is scarce and only found in deep cations and ill small springs. There are but two good stock ranches, for small herds, in this region. Mining will always be it's chief dependence. The Santa Maria placers were disco. vered and worked in the fall of 1875, though many romantic tra. ditions exist of rich gold washing here during earlier years, when hostile Indians held the country. At present these placer mines are abandoned by all save the Valen- tine Bros, who are working dry washing machine and doing quite we'll. The worst drouth is pre-

Money Easy.

By this time the Tucson Depo. sitory must be filled up with the greenbacks taken from here a
 week ago last Tuesday. The amount was vari0usIy estimated at from two hundred thousand to two millions of dollars. Ii arrived here by steamer in charge of Trea- sury agent Bellows, whom we knew ill the West Indies twenty odd years ago, and escorted by Major Hasbrouck the artillery of. ficer, who made such a gallant record in the Modoc war. It was met here by pr. c. H. Lord, the Tucson Depositary who particular. ly requested the SENTINEL to say nothing about it, until he got it nearly home, for prudential req. sons. Then for a while there was bad luck. The paymaster had to have money to take to Ft. Mo
 have by steamer, but the safes could not be opened and the steam. hDat was waiting however by lint of sweating and swearing, perspiring and profaning, bulldog
 ing and blaspneming, the money Was at last got out. Then the depOsitary got sick, and again the treasure tarried. Then there Was trouble to get a conveyance, but Lords perseverance finally tri- umphed, and the start was made.
 As bad beginning makes good ending, we expect to publish safe arrival of the cash at Tucson. where it is much needed for re-
 nlittances to the SENTINEL, and other commercial purposes.

 ED. SENTINEL: Our mining interests are beginning to look up now, that San Franciscans are coming out to look for something in which to invest their surplus Capital. MT. Wm. Finkler has taken a party out to examine a valuable mine belonging to him and Mir. Wm. Moreno has taken another party out to view one ot his locations near Mesquite Sta tiOn on the Wickenburg road. SO at last the lodges around here are beginning to attract attention. Transportation facilities afforded by the rlver and the railroad now make even loWgrade mines of this part of Yuma County worthy of investment. The Cons tancia machinery has been moved Col. James McMullen purchasing the buildings. MT. Mike Gold water has passed through on his way to Prescott and reports times hard and dull in California, with an active interest there In every thing relating to Arizona.

THE editor of the Sacramento Bee, noticing the statement of the Central Pacific freight sgent, that 4O,0OO pounds of cactus pulp had been shipped east from that city, inquired as to its use, and learned that Sacramento is virtually the shipping point for all merchandise to and from the East for Tulare valley, and that the cactus pulp came from point on the $. P. R. R., south of Tehachipi Pass, and was shipped by J. Hutchinson to A. Graham Elliott, of Philadel. phia, where it is extensively used in the manufacture of certain va rietles of paper and papier mache goods, flor which it is well adapted. The Mohave country, south of Tehachipi, abOunds in cactus, there being apparently an unlim- ited supply of the article. Parties there have erected steam works for the purpose of extracting the fiber of the cactus. which is pro- duced in the form of pulp, as it is called, and in this shape it is shipped to the manufactures in Philadelphia. and the parties en- gagged in the business are said to be realizing handsome profis. .-S.
