ANOTHER NEW MINING DIsTRrCT-LAN.
 DER CITY, WILSON DISTRICT.

Another new mining district has recently been discovered, some fourteen miles nortl of the Santa Maria, and abou. thirty five miles from Bidwell-& Gird's Thompson Val Icy ranch at place formerly known a: Mountain Spring
 The principal location is called the North Star, and is held and being developed by Charles Wilson and G. D. Eutz. They arc down now something over twenty feet in a shaft which they call "Wilson No. 1" and eighteen feet in another called "Eutz No. from which they have had a number of assays ranging from $4S to l,700. The ledge is about two feet in widtl~~snd well defined. There are a great number of mineral bearing ledgcs in the same dastrict, nine of which are already located by the dis coyerers, Eutz & Wilson.
 Two miles north east of the North Star is the Richmond, well defined one foot ledge of high grade galena ore with shaft started and down about eight feet, and another called the sBlue Rose" one mile north is eighteen inches wide at depth of six feet.
 Messrs. Eutz and Delaney brought in a sack full of splendid samples yesterday from the District for assay, and are making arrangements for building shelter at the North Star location.
 This new district is in Yayapai County, and, judging from the samples of ore shown us and the statements of Mir. Eutz as to the number, sizo and extent of the lodes, we have but little doubt that another rousing mining district equal to the McCrackin, Peck, Globe or Pioneer, is about to be onened nm

PULLING THE WOOL OVER THE EYES OF
 THE PEOPLE.

We find in paper called "The Operator published in New York City, and dated January 18th, an article on the Subject oi the Consolidation of the A. & P. line with the Western Union in which Mr. Gamble General Superintendent, of the W. U., is re. ported to have made certain representations as to the reduction of rates, which are not borne out by existing facts. We clip the following from the Operator:
 "Mr. Gamble has written to some of the papers to say that not only Is there to be no increase of rates, but that reduction from 10 to 33 per cent will be made where the rates are at present considered too high The additional five wordn system is also to be abolished on the Pacific Slope, and the single word rate after the first ten brought into operation as in the Atlantic States"
 If Mir Gamble has written to "some of the papers" and said an ything like the above, he did so to hoodwink the people, and with out any intention of doing what he promised.
 To all applications for reduction of rates, or the abolition of the additional five word system" the answer has invariably been an increase of rate since the consolidation.
 Since the W. U. got exclusive control, the rate from Prescott to San Francisco which was $i .00 has been raised to $1.50; an in crease of 90 per cent, and in the same pro- portion elsewhere.
 Every single promise in the above clip ping has been not only violated but direct ly opposite course pursued.

MORMON IMMIGRANTS.

Tip Wilder, on his way up from Tiptop yesterday, met twenfy-six wagons loaded wita families and their household goods from Malad, Idaho, en route for Salt River and beyond. We understand that they belong 10 the one-wife or Josephite persuasion of the Mormon Church, and propose to live like all other Christian people, in strict obedience to the Jaws of the land. Some of these expect 10 settle on Salt River or en the Gila, while others will probably go fur ther South, and a few talked as if they might stop in Humbug district, provided they found anything worthy of their atten- ton, or out of which they can make liy- ing. Their teams, which gre obout one half oxen, and the other half mules aud horses, are in excellent condition, and they seem prepared te go right to work and build up comfortable homes wherever they may conclude to settle.
 Several years ago there was an offshoot of the Mormon Church, calling themselves sMorrisites,v settled at Soda Springs. in what is now Oneida county, Idaho. These people repudiated the polygamy doctrine of Brigham Young, but held to one quite as pernieious, viz: that as they we're the cbo- sen people of the Lord, therefore all the cattle and other property in the world was raised up and held by the Lord for their use.
 This doctrine, as taught by Morris. brought them into constant conflict with the Gentiles as we'll as the Brighamite Nor mons, and even among themselves difficult ties arose as to the use of the Lords prop erty, until finally Morris was killed by Bishop Burton, then Sheriff of Salt Lake County, and the Sect was disbanded; yet, ever since that time, there have been number of mai-contents in Northern Utah and Southern Idaho who were not willing to submit to the exactions of the Church authorities. These are probably descend ants of those non-conformists.
 A gentlersan from Little Colorado in- forms us ths. Capt. Lott Smith, of the Lit tie Colorado Colony, proposed to incorpo- rate them into his fold, but they declined. prefering to live under Church rules of their own adoption.

LETTER FROM rsrror.

ED. AIxER.-Mafters are moving in quite an excited manner in Humbug a1d vicinity at the present time-more mines being di< oyered, more new faces, more scaD-
 ftalffsr more "bozdersr and more every
 thing. In fact, with a population il this
 mining district of more than five hundred
 sturdy miners, seeking for that s root of all eyii7 lyet the root of hesp of good) we
 nase commenced to assume great airs, and
 think ourselves some pumpkins-and why should we not when in fifteen days from
 the lst of Febuary we will have at the dis tance of eight miles a ten-stamp mill at
 work, the daily capacity of which will be the enormous amount of fifteen tons, with the anticipation of the addition of ten more stamps. And the reputation of the Super intendency, and the we'll known spirit of the Arizona miners are a safeEguaranfce of the continual working of the Tiptop mill from the day it starts, excepting one day in each month, when they will be compelled to cease operations to "clean up,r EEitgs opus cor0aat. We shall see.

Work on the Red Bird" has been discontinued for week or so. On the "7 76r work will be re- sumed in about ten days. The men at work on the l" Nibs are down to the depth of ten feet, and show up some very good ore. Col. James Riddle. who is interested in the Tip top mine arrived here on Tuesday, and in company with P. B. Gillett, Jr., and Jas. Finley inspected the above mine, and on Wednesday with same parties examined the mine of Plumb S Boyer, in which he is also interested with Col. Reynolds, and seemed highly gratifed, and recommended further prosecution of work on the tunnel of the claim, the name of which is "0rbit." There is no doubt about the permanency of our lodges in the district, yet if there are any !" indefatigable people who arc afraid of the ' leads not going down, and would like to satisfy their minds in this respect ere they shake off this mortal coil" we would commend the experiment of their taking passage on the next steamer for China, and examine what is under this mining dis trict

Yuma Items.

We copy from the Sentinel of Jan. 26th the following items:
 Small pox seems to be in fair way of disappearing from Yuma. There have been DO deaths for the past week. We have heard of but one new case and that has not fairly declared itself The best information we have gathered leads us to believe the disease is just drying out.
 The steamer advertised to sail to-day has not yet returned from up river. Two boats will probably get here within few days. Ono will make the regular tip and ihe other will go us an extra to move accumuls- ted freight, The advertised schedule of sailing days has been given up, but boats will be dispatched as often as possible.
 Fresh milk is being received here from California--not in the enormous quantities indicated by the Los Angeles papers, but at the rate of ten gallons day. It sells like hot cakes. Alfalfa and alfilerillo make bet ter milk than willow browse and galleta grass, ard our people are not slow in find- ing it out. Leave your orders with Goats at the postoffice.
 The placers around Gila City are gradually attracting more attention, quite number of men being now at work there. and consider able gold being taken out. MT. ]. Brown brought in nice bag of dust from there last Thursday. Robertson's party is now prospecting Pablo's gulch, about two miles this side of the station and across the river.
 The Cocopah sailed unexpectedly for Ehrenberg on Sunday, under orders received here from San Francisco on Friday evening. We failed to get a memorandum of her freight list, but she was loaded chiefly with government freight. She was dispatched as an extra boat to get off accumulated freight. She shipped en entire crew of Chinamen ss an experiment, but the usual crew of Mexi- cans were shipped on her barge.

COLORADO RIVER STEAMERS.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. eed, 1878. Owing to extreme low water it has been found necessary to countermand the pro- gramme of January lst. 1Sss, for the Colo- rado River steamers, so that after the de. parture of the steamer advertised to leavs Yuma for Aubrey on the 26th inst, and un- til the stage of water in the river will once more permit no schedule will be established and published for departures on stated dates.
 Steamers, however, will leave Yuma (though irregularly) at the earliest possible dates, for such up-river points as t may be practicable to reach from time to time Notices. anticipating each departurc from Yuma, will be given by circular as far in advance as possible.

 It is not much of . compliment to our City fathers to say that about the worst place he found, and where hc was obliged to drop his trail, was right on the Piazza in Prescott, at the crossing Of Montezuma and Goodwin streets.

 CHINA NEW YEAR-Pcople living with in hearing of the Chinese quarters. need not be told, this morning. gssat China New Year began at midnight, last night. Such another pandemonium as was maintained- all along the line, from twelve o'clock until daylight, is not offen heard in this well o. ganized Christian land.
 Pistols, bombs, fire-crackers. in short, everything they could command, that would make noist, was brought into reqtiisition. This morning the whole China aaale porr- lation were out making New Years calls, dressed in silk attire, and we observed that iE front of some of their residences thev had difficulty in wadiDg through the husks from bursted fire-craekers.
 The fre-cracker business Is q dangerous nuisance, and although it may bc part of their religion, as means of frightening away the Devil, if is at the same time 3 sourse of many confagrations, and ought to be subject of police regulation.
