will elect him by q handsome major ity.
 MT Gleason, the democratic candi- date for the assembly, in company with MT. Roland, law partner of Maj. Cox, of PheniX, also visited us short time since. We feel justified in say ing that if elected MT G. will make q good representative. He has many friends in this section, and is gener- ally spoken of as being q gentleman of honor and integrity, and surely the democrats of Salt river would not be justified in scratching him. On the contrary they would injure the party for the future. We feel as. though we are entitled to represen- tative-from this section, and therefore hope the democrats of Salt river will do their level best for him. A citizen of Phenix, Mir Rumburg, a "sour mash" republican from Panhandio' Virginia, is credited with saying that Mr. Gleason made the remark that if. elected he would cndeavor to abolish, the free school system. We are as- sured from a reliable source that Mr.. Gleason never made use of any such indiscreet remark-that it was manu-- factured out of whole cloth, perhaps by old Sour Mash himself. As to the balance of the democratic nominees, so far as 1 am capable of judging, they give general satisfaction to the. democracy of this vicinity and will receive the full vote of the party People have'been too often gulled by non-partizan movements. Our old and highly esteemed friend, Judge Wallace, of McMillenville, who by the way has worked in democratic harness for many years and is well posted, says the ticket is a good one and will triumph on the day of cleo ton. More anon. Yours truly,

POLITICAL.


 X short time ago King Woolsey, candidate for congress, and Major Cox, attorney at law of Phenix, paid 2 visit to the Basin and campcd over night with us. They brought with them bottle of Judge Wallace's Fluid Extract of Buchu," which was sampled by the boys and pro- nounced to be good, and your humble servant, being afflicted with kidney disease, took a dose from the bottle and was greatly relieved If Mr. Woolsey is as popular all over the territory as at this place, he can count on his election as being certain. A large number of the boys in this vi cinity have been acquainted with Major Woolsey for long time, and they say that those who know him best love him best, and will show our respect for him by the good majority of votes we will give him on the 9th of next November. We will then re- pair to Salt river to bid adieu to Campbell and Stevens as they toll up the rough and rugged trails to the salt works of Cox and Woolsey, where the camel will find employment, and, as it is said that Stevens is well versed in the art of packing, it may not prove so lucrative as congress poker, never theless it will afford living for him self and the camel.
 Mir Naylor, democratic candidate for district attorney, and Mr. Osborne, candidate for recorder on the same ticket, gave us a call a few days ago. NIT. Naylor is well and favorably known in this vicinity, and all the boys will vote for him, yea even re publicans and Brick Pomeroy men. His nomination gives general satis- faction to the democrats of this sec i ton, and he is considered as being the right man for the right place. We know him to be qualified to discharge the duties of the office, with honor to himself and party. He will leave here on the 9th of next November with a handsome majority. MT. Os- borne is, or was, a stranger to Us a short time ago, but is no longer to be considered in that light. By his mo- dest and gentlcmanly demeanor he has gained the esteem and friendship of all wilh whom he came in contact, and while we are assured of his com potency to discharge the duties of the office, we see no reason why he should not be elected, and he certainly would i be if left 10 the voters of this precinct We have met with several gentlemen who have known the young man for some time, and they speak very high ly of him. 1.-the party will do their l duty in the vicinity of PhcniX, we

THE Yuma Sentinel says: \ brass locked mail bag, containing three registered letters, was lost between here and Prescott just a month ago. It is matter of surprise that no more mail bags have been lost by Gilmer, Salisbury < Co. Since July list, they have run, on their route, buckboards without boots, without sides or ends, and almost without bottoms. Passen- gers are piled on top of the mail bags, and if any of these interfere with a mans comfort there is nothing to prevent his quietly showing it over board. Yet these contractors seem to have the private ear of the depart ment and appear to own the special mail agents. Official complaints are not made, and private ones are pigeon holed. How long, oh Lord. How long?

Now that the harvest Is nearly over it Is ascertain ed beyond a peradventurc that the wheat and barley crop in Salt River Valley is large. The Gila Valley usually produces an enor- nous quantity of that grain but this year very little has been raised there, ow- ing to the lack of water for irrigation. The late abundant rains will insure fodder in the Northern part of the Territory but it has come to late for the cOln, so unat crop Will pc nearly a failure this year. This state of affairs in the surrounding country will give the farmers of Salt River Valley a market for all their grain at remuner- ative prices. Barley has advanced q quarter and wheat half a cent since har- vest began, with an up- ward tendency.

 SerteMber 18th. lsas.

EDITOR HERALD: -NOtWithStand- ing you did not make mention of the Basin while writing up this section of the country, we still live, and are do- ing as well as our more prctcntious neighbors. D. C. Chilson is engaged in taking out a shipment of very rich ore. He expects to start for San Francisco about the 10th of Novem- Der next with his bullion, as we may call it, fer it is almost pure. In the Richmond and Hellen lodes large bodies of very rich ore have been re gently found, from which the owners are engaged extracting a shipment.
 Mcssrs. Wm. Thompson and Wm. Chllson are soon to commence work on their Minnie mine," which is To- catcd near this place. This is a large vein of chloride ore which assays well.
 Messrs. Mc3Iorris & Cook are do- ing but little with their rich mine They, Micawber like, seem to be waiting for something to turn up In fact it is fair to presume that the Richmond district, which embrace. McAIillcnville and the Basin, is al present the richest district in the ter ritory, but for large and well defined veins and good permanent mines Mineral Creek district is champion One half of the D. G. C. mine, located in said district and owned by D. G Chilson, of Richmond Basin fame has been sold for ten thousand dollar. to Messrs. Weeks, McNeil, Murray and Gardiner, of Los Angeles, Cali fornia. lIr. Weeks is here and ex presses himself well pleased with tn, countIy-so much so that the com pany of which he is a member vii soon erect a mill at Government Springs, on Mineral creek. In tha district are other valuable mines own ed by K. \. Keener, Wm. Thompson Richard Chilson, S. R. Sands and Salter & Lauirance. There is alsC the Monitor, Ida, Engals and Repub lie, from which large quantities 0 rich ore has been taken. They art now bonded to San Francisco partie for large sum. When the sound 0 the steam whistle shall be heard echo ing through the canyons and over tn mountains, you can then record tn fact that Mineral Creek will be tn livliest camp in the territory.
