AN ARIZONA BONANZA.

Ono of the richest and most extensive eX hibitions O. ore ever shown in san Francisco is now on exhibition ai l05is California street. The ore is from the celebrated Stonewall Jackson nlnc. of Globe district Arizona. some l50 miles nOrih-casterly from Tucson, and near the surveyed route of the 32d parallel railroad. This mine was re gently sold hy itS original owners to San Francisco capitalists for si20,000 cash. The ore now on cXhibition--ti.S00 pounds. little short of three and onc-half tons-is esa mated to be worth Sl9000 per ton. or an az gresate of S6j.5Ja- The ore, ss will be seen by inspection. is literally full of me tallic siiver-the metal forming 50 per cent or 70 per cent. 0f the entire weight. The only other form. aside from native. in which the silver appears i> ;S chloride, of which there Is a large quantity. This ore was se- lccted from lut of about 40 tons, which was taken from the shafts and drifts. The i0 tons were taken from shaft % feet in depth, on the vein. wtich, with the drifts, aggregate 300 running feet. This is a very small amount of ground from whlch to ob- tain such results.
 The vein Is very narrow, but never. so far, found broken, and varies from three to nine inches in thickness.
 The principal Owuers are (. H. McDer- mott, MichGl Ticrney and !. II. Martin the latter resident of Santa Rosa. The Superintendent and the gentleman now in charge of the ore on exhibition, Is NIT. fl. :. Jacobs"

TuE ROAD ON TURKEY CpEEK-E

THE ROAD ON TURKEY CREEK.-Earnest complaint comes to Us from parties living on Turkey Creek, and not, as it seems to Us without cause, concerning the route oveI which the Prescott and Bradshaw Road !, surveyed and about being built from the top ot the East uasSavampa and Turkey Creek divide. to the adobe ward of Mulver- non X Roach, on Turkey Creek. The foute as surveyed and Stakod. leaves the old trav- cled trail sn the divide, anI defects 10 the right, or west, in going from Prescott. in such a manner as to leave Turkey Creek station, the Goodwin mine M8s,crsen's mill and a majority of the settlers oB tue Creek, entirely of of the iino of the road, whereas it is represented that quite as good route. which would save distance, could as easily have been surveyed 10 run through tue Tur- key Creek settlement, and thus been an ac- Commodation, not only to them but to those who are engaged in mining, and who will be obliged to bring their ores to the Turkey Creek mill A the road k not yet constructed from the divide to the Greek. would il not be wise in the Board of Super visors to arrange with Mir Patterson, the contractor. to change that portion so as to strike Turkey Creek at the nearest and most accessible point, and thus take in the Tur- key Creek Ecighborhood, the quartz mill etc, which would be of the utmost impor- tance and convenience to them, and could work no harm to anybody

State Fisheries.

We have received from Geo. III. Jerome
sup rlntendent of the state fisheries, his
report for the years 1875 and 1876. The
report shows that, like nearly every
thing else that is undertaken by the state.
Michigan stands at the front, if not in ad.
vance. Of any of tie other states which
have devoted attention to fish culture
The report shows that over 1O.OOO.O0O fry
were deposited in the various lakes and
rivers of Michigan during The year. and
all in gOod condition. We see by the re-
port, that 10000 wllitefish fry We're put
into Burt lake. OH February 22nd 1876,
and 100000 into Crooked. Round and
Twin lakes, in Emmet county, about the
same time. We hope this year that pro-
visions will be made f,,r larger supply
for Burt lake as well as Mullet lake.
These are large lakes and should be
more generously dealt with than the
smaller ones. Douglass lake is also de-
serving of some attention. There have
also been large number of salmon fry
deposited, and attention will be given to
other varieties in the coming year amorg
which will be the grayiing and brook
trout. We trust that Michigan will take
10 backward step in regard to fish cul-
ture. for it is a branch of business that
Will in the years 10 come atl,i greatly to
the wealth of the state.

Tuesday evening the Spencer House
hall was crowded 10 its utmost capacity.
the occasion being the first appearance OF
the Happy Sevenr minstrels. for the
benefit OF the Cheboygan brass band.
The entertainment was success in every
particular, the programme being good
one, well arranged and carried out, and
the financial result being equal to the
most sanguine expectations, the net pro-
ceeds being something over seventy dol
lars. Negro minstrelsy is a hard branch
of the amusement profession for anna
teurs to engage in, more difficult, per-
haps, than any other. yet considering that
this was the first time that several of the
''Seven" ever appeared in this role, all of
them did remarkably well, some show
ing decided talent in that direction. A
mistake i'm arranging the numbers for the
reserved seats led to some confusion i'm
seating the audience. hardly any getting
the particular seat which they had ell
gagged. The seats in the hall were mum
bered exactly the reverse from the plat
from which they had been sold. The
management desire us in this connection
to express their thanks to Mr.. Spencer
for the free use of his hall for the enter
tainment.

The Electoral Commission.

The Joint commission to canvas the
electoral vote is now !, fixed fact. The
bill creating if having passed both houses
of Congress and received the Presidents
signature. While we cannot believe that
this manner OF coming at the conclusion
regarding matters in dispute is constitu-
tional, we hope for the best results com
inc from it, While it may be the easiest
way of getting out of this unpleasant
dilemma, we fear that the result
i'm the future will show that it is a
very unwise move. The commission has
organized as far as the Senate and House
of Representatives Is concerned BY the
appointment of Senators Edmunds.
Morton. Frelinghuysen, Bay ard and
Thurman. three Republicans and two
Democrats, and Representatives Payne.
Hunton, Abbott, Garfield and Hoar,
three Democrats and two Republicans.
The bill provides that Associate Justices
Clifford, Strong, Miller aud Field act as
judicial members of the commission,
with a fifth to be chosen by themselves.
The Fifth Associate Justice selected was
Justice Joseph z. Bradley. He will, by
the provisions of the bill, be the presiding
officer of tie commission, and it may be
that his casting vote will decide who
will be the next President. Justice
Bradley is from New Jersey, and was APP
pointed by President Grant in 1870. He
was appointed as IA Republican,, ANA is
said 20 belong to that party at present.
1t is not believed by the leading Re
publicans that the election of Hayes is
imperiled by the passage OF this law, and
the opposition to its passage by many of
them was only because they believed it
unconstitutional 1t is not believed that
the members of the Supreme court will
consent to go behind the action of the
respective returning boards, and take
testimony with view of asccrtaining
all the particulars upon which then nc
ton was based. The Oregon matter is a
legal quibble, disreputable trick,
which has i'll the investigations
Of the Senate been traced so
directly to Mr.. Tiiden that
should he gain the Presidency by il that
he would also gain the contempt OF the en-
tire world. Under this law the counting
of the electoral votes commenced last
Thursday. and telegrams received here
state that The count proceeded without
objection until Florida was reached,
when there were three sets OF electoral
votes were presented. and objections be-
ing made on both sides, the matter was
referred to the commission.

sources which could be found. The par
ticulars may not be exactly as they occur
red, but the main facts are probably near
the truth
The amount of personal taxes and
expenses for which property was sold to
cover was $240. We believe property
was not sold to cover the taxes on the
real estate, as there seemed to be some
doubt in the minds of some about the
legality of that portion of the levy. The
property sold we understand was valued
at about $1,000. Just what became CT
