That MOhave Mail.

berg; publishes in the Miner that
 he wants to "give the lie'' to any
 man who says the mail has not
 been carried properly between
 Ehrenberg and Aubrey. April 6,
 1877, the Minef published the fol-
 lowing, from a MolIa1e county
 correspondent;
 One of the events of the past week
 worthy of mention, was the arrival of a
 portion of the thail matter which has been
 accumulating at Ehrenberg for a long
 time. California and Eastern papers were
 read with great avidity, for many weeks
 had passed since our people had been so
 highly favored We learn that the mail
 was brought to Hardyville through the
 courtesy of the officers of the Colorado
 Steam Navigation Company. If no other arrangements are made for the transpOrta-
 
 the territory, we hope that when the South ! ern Pacific railroad company assumes con- trol of the steamers on the Colorado, they cail be induced to bring us mail once or twice a month, which will be decided inn pr0vement on the present order of things. (Keep your seat, HenryD March 23 the same paper published the following on the same subject:
 * < the nearest office being Aubrey, where mail is received enthusiastically A letter from Ehrenberg, recently received at this office, states that large amount Cf mail matter for Mohave county has accu- mulated at that place and there remains awaiting transportation.
 March 21, the Enterprise sug- gested that the mail matter for MOhave county which was ''accu- mulated at Ehrenberg should be erected into a monument con- memorative" &c.
 By searching the files of those papers the irate young man will find many allusions of the same kind and one letter from P. M. Fisher, Esq, postmaster at Ehren- berg, admitting thata large quan- tity of mail matter had accumulat- ed at his office, owing to the ina bility of the contractor 10 remove it as fast as it arrived. April 30 George Tyng, Esq.,, saw nine bar ley sacks full of mail matter put aboard the steafnboatat Ehrenberg and shipped for Aubrey and Hardyville. California papers, taken out of those very sacks, showed by their dates that they must have been at Ehfenberg from 5 to 15 days. The officers of the boat told Tyngi it was regular thing for them to convey mail matter from Ehfenberg to points in Mohave county, nearly every trip. All this was before our pug nacious young critic was deputy postmaster. Since he was elevat- ed to office, five sacks of accumu- lated mail have gone by steamer, as he admits. On good informa- tion we believe the practice has been of frequent occurrence during the summer.
 The SENTINEL has now correct ed the abuse to great extent but will not cease its labofs, until that mail is carried properly. Instead of weakly repining, we struck at the rlghtspot. A. Frank was con- tractor; the post office was in GOldWater's store and so were Franks headquarters; the infe- renee easy and natural. We ap- pealed to mail agents, until two of them have taken the matter in hand and partly reformed the abuses of the Ehrenberg post office (keep your shirt on, young Henry). Agents Adams and have promised us to hse their best endeavors to se- cure increased compensation for he contractor, thus placing him above the temptation of defraud- ing Mohave county of It's mail rights. They have also promised to try to secure increased service and such a change in schedule bime that mails arriving at Ehren- l.
