RAILROAD GAzETTEER.-We are indebted to J. H. Hughes, of the C. d A. Stage O.. for copy of the R. R. Gazetteer for April, which we took from his counter in his ab- sence. It is handy book for reference in relation to routes, time of arrival and de- parture at different points, steamship lines, etc, etc., and is he had plenty more, 1t oc- cured to us that he might not mss this one, as he probably will not until be reads this.

 M. Goldwater. the head of Goldwatcr tI Bros. house of this place, returned from San Francisco this A. NJ. During his stay in the Golden Gate City, he purchased large and varied assortment of goods for the Ehrcn- berg and Prescott stores. The firm is one of the oldest in the Territory and the members comprising it are all good business men, know exactly what is needed in the Arizona market. consequently everything needed by all classes can be found at their mercantile houses.
 Wash Underwood, one of the old timers, formerly County Recorder of Boise County, Idaho, Under Sheriff under Pinkham, U. S. Marshal, etc, etc., is now resident of Sig nal City in Mohave County and arrived here yesterday on business, with his Attor- neys Hargraye & Morgan. Wash and O. L. Whiting are proprietors of ranch and watering place for teams and stock near Signal, to which other parties lay claim, and they don't propose to give it up. The opinion of his Attorneys, based upon his statement of the case, is that he will have no trouble in winning it. Wash and Whit ey" are posted pretty we'll themselves and are not apt to be much mistaken as to their rights.
 He goes back to Signal tomorrow.
 Deputy U. s. Marshal and Detective for the Stage Company, J. W. Evans, has re- turned from Signal City, whither he went in search of the men who robbed the mail and express below Wickenburg last Friday night He fcund no trace of them and thinks they did not go in that directloa. This, he says, is the worst case he has had, the rain obliterated the tracks so that he found it impossible to follow them. The only clue they have is that two of the men made large tracks, and one made small ones, therefore the only show is to arrest two large men and one small one until they ind the right ones. Evans followed one footman who made large tracks and lots of them, nearly a i hundred miles; and after making him ex- hibit the contents of his pack, turn his pockets wrongside out, etc, etc. lie found that he had 10 money and let him go about lis business. It is a difficult case, and one we fear, that | will bafille the officers and detectives,
 U. s. Marshal Standefer is still out some | where in the direction of Wickenburg.
