Found Dead.

A man who went under the name of Chas H@tisgs, whose real name is supposed tobs Jennison, was found dead on the trail lead. ing from the Foy Mine, Humbug District to the Peck Mine. and about one mile iron the former place, by MT. Simpson and George Fletcher. The deceased was las, seen at the Toy Mine on the 18th, when h. left for the Peck. It is supposed that Inc died that day. from the fact that on the 18th, when the body was found it was in such an advanced state of decomposition that it was impossible to make an examination into the cause Of his death. An informal inquest wss held but without eliciting any cause foi the sudden demise. The remains were buried where found, removing them being out of the question.
 Dr. Day, the Coroner, received the above information from G. w. Barnard, who assisted iu his burial. Itis thought that the deceased has brother living in Georgetown, Colo redo. It is probabIe that Jennison dieo from prostr1tion caused by the intense heat of the day. The deceased wore black chin whiskeys, was about six feet tall, 90 years oi gre, and weighed about 1s0 pounds.

LETTER FROM ALEXANDRA.

EDITOR MIsER:-Thinking perhaps, thsi
 few lines from this famous City, of ancient
 name, would not be amiss, I will proceed
 to give few details, of passing events.
 The celebrated Peck Mine is developing
 wonders, under the management of Mr.
 Hardy, and his able Lieutenants, Messrs.
 Riggs and Dunn. The immense amount of high grade ore that is being extracted at
 this present time. is perfectly astonishing.
 think there is no possible doubt, but what it is the most valuable property within the limits of the Territory, if not on the coast The mill is running day and night, with plenty of wood, water, and tons of way-up ore, and the amount of bullion ground out is osly known 1y those who should know.
 The general impression, is. that this is destined in the near future, to be the best camp in the whole Territory, if not on the whole Pacific Slope. That is saying a great deal, admit, but we have been here for two years, and propose 10 remain one more on the strength of inc above assertion.
 Politics seem to be rather dull at present. 1t IS owing. think. to the Sheriffalty being | one-sided affair in this district. MT. Joe. Drew leads the van in the Bradshaw, and will, as far as have been able to learn, poll nine tenihs of all votes in thIs district. sIr. Drew is we'll worthy of our suffrage. and Se propose to help swell his majority over Ill competitors, he being a man of more nan ordinary capacity, gentleman, and, | VIII, if elected, make old Yavapai an officer hat she will be proud of. We have voted | or Mr. Bowers twice, and the last time, no | iiird term Tn ours. if it IS lucrative office | ct some one else have it if they are worthy l I 1t, and we believe and know that MT. 1 Drew is we'll worthy, and we hope to see nm hil tile position for the next two years |
 There IS not much talk about the Con- Candidates. It is however self | vident fact, that NT. J. G. Campbell is not | he man, 1t seems that the right man has lot been brought out yet. If Arizona ever leeded good maternal to represent her in Washington, it is for the next term, and let IS hope that good material does go, for we re sadly in need of it.
 Times are getting better every day. L. ;. Corners IS still running the boarding louse, and will, on the first of the month, pen first-class bar. A restaurant was 'pened on the tenth inst, up in the city, by dr- NJ. l.. Calhoun, who by the way is an i'd hand at the business, and we bespeak or him good trade. Everything about he establ blishment is neat and clean, and his | abies will compete with any in Prescott. I | sili speak of other business men in my Iext.
