Sonora AHairS.

We have Guaymas dates to June l, at which time it was believed that Gen Mariscal was elected Governor. News from the interior announced all quiet It was thought the Lerdo movement against Diaz would amount to nothing. The railway news from City of Mexico much improved Letters say a good and live concession for a Sonora and Arizona railway was among the cer- taintieS, and that it would be made to responsible railway men and not to mere speCulators. Sonora is bound to have the railway, and is also making the strongest efforts for a free transit privilege for private goods through the State. Diaz fayors and the Minis ter of the Treasury has prepared a bill to abolish all export duty on silver and gold both coined and uncoined, and it Is very sure to become law. The So nora members of Congress are strong ly backed by petitions and instructions in favor of all these measures, and if they are secured, It is expected the in dustries of the State will revive.

The Advantages of Hard Times.

The times are very hard and there
 IS much suffering in this city. But
 the times are very GOd-send 10 a cer-
 tain class. They are composed of that youthful and vigorous corps who are
 engaged in perpetual search for
 work, and who labor under a constant
 fear lest they may find it. They can
 stand on the sidewalks and, drawing
 up to the narroweSt limit that DOT
 ton of the body which is found just
 below the belt, explain, with tears in
 their voices, how many days it has
 been since they surrounded q square
 m al. It is hard for man 10 Ignore
 them, because good men are by scores,
 out ot work, and who knows but that

 suffering man may have the added sui.
 ierlng which lies in a Tebuf after
 pride has been surrendered to neces slty? And so these fellows rejoice at a famine They are real artists. They look sorry enough tO have been, every mothers son of them, the children of. Nlobe. Even at a distance one can imagine by their faces that stocks were "Otf," when Grey discOvere Il that youth whom melancholy marked for her own. They have pensive and far-otf look, as though the hope of reward or comfort in this cold world had been long put aside. And yet. they grow fat, and seem to wax in rotundity, even as beans and flour. grow scarce. Sometimes, in extreme gratitude, they seize and wiring al charitable mans hand, and he then discovers, by the soft and yielding clasp, that the poor men have prObab- ly been months and years looking for work. It is such a hand-clasp as would melt an old lady's heart in moment. She would think, instinc- lively, of the first grasp of her first born, when the act meant, at the same time, an expression of affection and demand for rations.-Virginia (Ney)I

Successful Milling in Colorado.

A batch of ore from the Freeland
 lode, TraIl Run District, has recently
 been treated as a test in Georgetown
 by Mir. Stewart, and the result has been decidedly gratifying to all par ties concerned; the mine owner is pleased 10 find that his ore has actual ly the commerce value he had placed upon it, and the mill man is more than satisfied with the success of his process. The ore is an arsenical cop per and iron pyrites, carrying nearly four per cent. copper, twenty ozs. silver and two ozs. gold, in all worth between $60 and S70 per ton. Ninety-two per cent. of the precious metals in the ore was actually obtained The process has heretofore been elaborately de scribed in the Miner, but we may say that the ore, after the customary pull verizatlon, is roasted without salt, after which it passes through the Hunt, Douglas and Stewart process, assisted or supplemented by the Purvine pan.
 The ore, NIT. Stewart says, is very easy
 to treat, requiring no salt in roasting, or chemicals in subsequent stages Of the process, and the amount of copper which may be saved nearly pays the cost of reduction.-GeOrgetown Miner.

Public Schools.

A correspondent writing to the Alta, says the public school system of the Territory has most ardent and Jealous friend In Governor Stafford. During his long term as Governor, even amidst all the difficulties inseparable in a country so large and so thiniy settled, he worked faithfully to build up the public schools upon a broad, liberal and permanent basis. Had this been the only fact accomplished during his administration it would be an enduring testimony to his credit. The cause of education has no irmer friend nor more enthusiastic advocate, and If his policy in regard to the schools be ad- hered to, as il doubtless will. Arizona will be able 10 creditably educate her children,

Conee for Indians.

Hon. J. Q. Smith recently opened the coffee bids in New York, and after the inspectors had carefully examined the numerous samples which were sent in by bidders with their bids, and after due deliberation, the contract was awarded to Messrs. B. Y. Arnold & Co. for the whole quantity of coffee, 445,OOO pounds, delivered In New York
 The New Yorg Herald says Mir Smith stated that the price of coffee, at this proposal, was a trife higher, perhaps about a quarter of cent a pound, than the contract awarded in September last, at which time the last proposals were received, but that, on the other hand, the quality of the cOf- fee was considerable better, The cof- fee is delivered in bags, in the bean and not roasted. MT. Smith also said that in coffees and also in other ma. terials used in supplying the Indians there were more outside bidders this year than ever before. He attributed this to a growing confidence among the merchantile classes in the integri- ty of the Indian Department, and ad- ded that he thought that there could be no complaint as to the quality of the supplies furnished to the Indians by the government MT. Smith stated that the transportation from New York to the Missouri river this year was higher on fiOIr, lower on beef and about the same on coffee and dry goods as last year, while from the Missouri river to the several agencies transport ation was a great deal lower on all varieties If snnnlies

General Land Office Rulings.

COpp's Land Owner for June re ports:
 The burden of proving that land in dispute is excepted from a railway grant is upon him who affirms the ex- istence of valid preemption claim thereto at the date the grant took effect. He must show that the preemptor not only initiated a prior valid settlement, but that he possessed all the required personal qualifications The filing of record is prima facie evidence of valid right as against a railway, and to se- cure the tract, the proper evidence mBT hf,ltf tf"tTj' 'pf9ehnprIon clam was abandoned or invalid, at the time the right of the road attached.
 After the lands have been offered at pubic sale and thea withdrawn, they may be restored to homestead and preemption entry. Until they have again been offered at public sale, they are not subject to private entry.
 The Commissioner of the General Land Office has the right to correct what he considers an erroneous decis- ion without first giving notice of such intention to the attorneys of record in the case, but as matter of courtesy such notice should be given when the interests of the government will not be injured.
 A survey under the Mining Acts does not withdraw the land embraced thereby from sale or subsequent sur vey, unless followed by an application for patent.

Illegal DivOrces.

CINCINNATI, May 25.-Some time ago Nelson F. Hood, a resident of Aurora Ind, procured a decree of divorce in a Beaver county, Utah, court, through Chicago law agency, and married again. In obtaining the decree, he never went nearer Utah than Chicago and never intended 10, as was proven For the past week he has been on trial in the Dearborn Circuit Court, Law, renceburg, Ind, on a charge preferred by his divorced wife.
 Yesterday, the jury rendered a yer dict declaring that Nelson Hood was not a resident of Utah at the time Ol divorce, and that the decree was file gal. Hood was sentenced to pay fine of Sl00 and be imprisoned in the coun ty iail for six months. The case has an especial interest from the fact that many parties in this State and Indiana hold similar bills and on their strength there have been subsequent marriages

Intelligent Correspondence.

Explorer has letter in The Alta, dated Florence, Arizona, May %
 which shows more knowledge of the Territory and more care in regard to G..,ss, .,.l ,I.o "Iiters part, Jnan any we have lately seen in the city papers. Yet the writer makes one great error
 He says the Territory "docs not need vine growers nor fruit culturists," and herein a great error is made. The Ter ritory needs just such people. Grapes and other fruits are yet very scarce in Arizona, and a large increase of
 both products would benefit the pro- ducers and be most acceptable to the
 people generally. Abundance of good fruit Is a mos! important element in a community, and does much to promote
 both the health and contentment of
 the people. How any person could
 so mistake the wants of Arizona, as 10
 say that fruit growers are not needed here, is hard to understand The Alta correspondent exhibits such intelli
 gence on all other important matters
 that it is amazing he should have SC erred in this. People will pay more literally fA good and fresh fruit than they will for anyother article which is a luxury and almost a neces sity. There IS not an industry in Ari zona in which men specially adapted to the business, could find more prof
 than in growing fruit of varIous kinds

Tine United States Military TeIe-
 graph.

l A special dispatch from Yuma, pub
 lished in Saturdays Post, gives tn,
 substance of a suggestive editorial
 printed in the Sentinel of that place
 which advises the removal of tn,
 United States military line now con
 meeting San DIego and Yuma to tho Colorado river, and there to conncc
 Ehrenberg and 4lnjave with the re
 maining military posts of the Terri
 tory, as well as with the country gen
 orally, via the Atlantic and Pacific
 lines at Yuma and those of the West
 ern Union in New Mexico. On the
 first blush the proposition which fog
 practical purposes may be considered
 as that of the telegraph line now at
 Yuma, would appear 10 be in accord
 with the purposes for which the mill
 tary telegraph was designed. But when examined. other reasons inter. vene, and a different state of facts comes to the front. That portion of the public who have to do business with Arizona have not failed to note the fact that considerable reduction in telegraphic tolls between this city and Slate and that Territory has re- gently been made When the Southern
 Pacific reached the Colorado river it carried with it tine wires of the Atlan- tic and Pacific Telegraph Company. The sympathies of this journal, in common with all others who feel the effects in business enterprise of close monopoly, must be, as It has been, on the side of the telegraph corporation which, while SO pluckIly resisting Its great rival, has served the public well in reducing the cost of services every where. But " are not di. posed, there fore, to favor q proposition which in its results must shove a rival out of Arizona, and so enable itself to dictate all rates and tolls between the Pacific coast and the interior of the Territory, which is now rising so rapidly in i'm pOrtance. The military telegraph line and its managers now have the choice of two outside lines over which to send such civil business as it receives. By the removal of the San Diego Yuma branch, It will have no other outlet to the west except the Atlantic and Pacif- Ic. As we before observed, the keen competition of these two lines for the business passing over the military wires have been so far advantageous tn Inc naorDla. .-f-st~S- lssse,ss> aa'-A1 ILO- na and this city were a few days ago reduced from $2 to $1.50 for a message of ten words. The Arizona charge k fifty cents With open routes cOmpet- ing 10 the coast via Yuma and San Diego, il is more than probable that a still further reduction will soon be an- But without such cOmpeti- ton is that likely? With all due re- gard to the enterprise of the line now in Yuma, we do not be- lieve it will. In the interest Of the public, we therefore suggest that al more reasonable thing to petition for would be the continued maintnance of the San Diego branch or it's sale 10 the Western Union, and the extension of the Military line to Ehrenberg and Fort MOjave, via the Colorado river. The importance of such a line to Ari- zona, the government itself and 10 the great mining and other interests now being developed in the northern and western portions of the country, can not be overestima;ed.-S.

The BIIad Men and the Elephant.
A HINDU FABLE.

IL was six men Of 'Indostan,
 To learning much inclined, Who went to see the elephant, CThough all Of them were blind), That each by observation
 Might satisfy the mind. The first approached the elephant, And, happening to fall Against the broad and sturdy side, At once began to bawl: |" God bless me. but the elephant Is very like wall" The second, feeling of the tusk, Cried, "Ho! what have we here So very round and smooth and sharp? To me 'tis mighty clear This wonder of an elephant
 Is very like spear" The third approached the animal, And, happening to take The squirming trunk within his hand, Thus boldly up he spake: l see," quoth he, " the elephant Is very like snake!" The fourth reached out his eager hand, And felt about his knee, What this wondrous beast is like Is mighty plain," quoth he; "'Tls clear enough the elephant Is very like a tree!" The fifth, who chanced to touch the ear, Said Fen the blindest man Can tell what this resembles most; Deny the fact who can, This marvel O; an elephant Is very like fam" The sixth no sooner had begun About the beast to grope, Than selzing on the swinging tail That fell within his scope, " l see" quoth he. "the elephant Is very like a rope!'' And so these men Of 'Indostan Disputed loud and long, Each in his opinion
 Exceeding stiff and strong; Though each was partly in the right They all were in the wrong! So oft, in theOlogic war, The disputahts, ween, Rail on, in utter ignorance or what each other mean, And prate about an elephant That none Of them have seen!

Important Treasury Regulation.

NEW YORK, June GA Washington dispatch to the Bulletin says; The Treasury is paying out now only large United States notes for drafts. This is the beginning of movement to place United States Treasury circulation up- on a European footing. with no small bills in existence, and with specie as the medium of small operations. The idea Is 10 get silver in as large quanti- ties as the Treasury can supply. and and also to make people prefer small bank notes to large legal tenders.
