The Song Of the Thrnsher.

The brown thrush, alias the thrasher,
is a favorite, most decidedly, of the birds
that live in the groves of the West. In
his bright shining suit of sienna, with
coat tails smooth and long, like those
our tall, lank grandfathers wore, he is
the very picture of a polished and ele-
giant gentleman; and how spontaneously
and vehemently he sings He throws
his whole life into his little throat,
whence comes perfect flood of melody,
every note distinct, and with measure
and method the artistic completeness
of which neither Patti, nor Gary, nor
Kellogg can excel. He belongs to the
family Of mocking birds, and, when the
whim takes him, amuses himself by imi-
tations of the songs of other birds, or of
the whistles and cries of man and beast.
But he has one peculiar air, which is all
his own. It is long, animated, and full
of variety, being medley of whistles,
gurgles, trills, quavers, and cadences,
mingling as harmoniously as do the
scherzos and adagios of the sonatas and
the syphonies of the great composers.
He is among the earliest to welcome the
dawn of the morning, and one of the
last to hush his voice with the thicken-
ing twilight of the evening. A writer in
the Chicago Journal, being in an imagi-
native mood one morning, thus inter
preted his theme:
Hard times Work, work
Is that it2 Earn q living
oh, pshawl Dig, dig, dig,
You're Joking Or grub;.
Why, look you Yes,
Seel Anything
See me To be a man,
Me, me- me! And not
Hard timesS sick kitten,
You're dreaming Mewing
No such thing For some milk
No street. Milk milk, milk!
Rec, rec, rec Go TO work
Go to work say
Make something, He, he, he, he
And sellit- See the bee,
Cash, cash, cash The little bee,
Jingles? And me
Ah, ha, ha! We do
You're lazy, Pretty fairly:

You drone! Ayel
Git, git, gitl You bet
Here an old robin, that had perched
on the next tree, undertook to out sing
him; he couldn't stand that, and event
for him quick as lightning. For about
five minutes there was noise amid the
foliage like that of barber's clipping
shears, followed by a small shower ol
little feathers. Thrasher came out the
conflict first best. It is the universal
opinion of those who know him, that the
brown thrush is not only the most gay
and festive of singers, but a genuine
philosopher and a brave and right ele
can't little gentleman.

Hints to Wool Growers.

sk Never place unwashed tags in
aeeoe, while it is better still to leave
lags out.
"a. Exercise care in washing your
eep. and see that the ends of the wool
1g6 free from dirt.
Sd. Take the proper means to get the
tallow out of their heeces. Its presence
s one of the most serious sources of loss
10 the manufacturer.
lth. Do not allow gravel to cling to
,e wool, and do not place it in the wool
make il weigh more.
k. Tie your heeces with a string
- only once around it. Dealers
nfacsurers do not care to pay
ces for hop twine.- Utica

Four strange cars got in here
last week. They had been drawn
through from New York, without
breaking cargo, and were loaded
with some $4,000 pounds of sheet
iron, tin, stoves, ETC., for w. G.
Davis, of Tucson. 1t was a hand
some shipment of goods for any
business house to make, and in
dicates the progress being made
by interior Arizona. Davis started
about ten years ago with a few
sheets of tin and has now built
up the largest business in his line
in Arizona, if not in any of the
Territories. These are the things
that have clinched our confidence
in the future of the country.

A Yuma Apiary--GOOd Showing.

A couple of months ago Mr. Randolph,
of San Diego county, brought wagon
load of bees out here, IN search of bee
range. He found it all along the Gila
Peck, of Mohawk, who is always trying
something new, induced Randolph to stop
there and go into the bee business with
him. The bees did so well that Randolph
brought out another load, making forty
stands, and has now gone for still more.
The gums at Mohawk are now full TO
Overlooking, besides what has been ship
ped farther into the interior, and what has
been sold to teamsters and travellers.
They have now over ton of honey at Mo-
hawk, and Peck has just taken out sixty
empty five gallon coal-oil cans, to put it L =.
He also took out large lot of lumber for
new hives, as the bees will be swarming
vigorously next month and in june. There
will be bees to sell. Randolph is an old
bee-man, having been ten years in the bust
ness, and is much pleased with his new
range Wild flowers are much more abunC-
ant here than most people seem willing
to believe; and they are rich in honey, as
the hummng- birds discovered long ago.
\ white sage is also very abundant, resem-
bling that of San Diego, and from which
the bees make comb and honey riyalling,
| in whlteness and flavor, the choicest frames
| of Southern California. They have made
much honey from willow and mezquite
blossoms Astounding along the ella, and,
strange to say seem very fond of the qua
tamote that grows so freely along the river.
The brilliant blossoms Of the whipstOck
cactus have furnished a delicious honey.
| For tins, and for blossoms of iron-wood
and palo-verde, the bees fly far from the
river From the ubiquitous hediOndilla,
or creOsote- bush, they make no honey, but
get quantities Of bee bread. Peck guar
rantees that honey of the ella valley will
soon drive the California article out of Ari-
iona markets. This is the kind of enter
prise that builds up 4 new country, and
we wish it unbounded success.

The PIanchaS de Plata.

The Planchas de Plata country |
is experiencing mining revival.
1t lies a little south of the Arizo-
ma line and west of the Tubac and
Magdalena wagon-road. The big
gest strikes have been made about
eleven miles west of Aqua Sarca,
and Mexicans are pouring in there
by the hundreds. They are just
beginning to get over the paraly-
sis of terror with which the Apa-
ches had so long inspired them.
This is why prospecting in that
region has now been resumed, aft
or cessation of nearly 100 years.
Lorette, our supervisor, was down
there in 1S69-70, and has ever since
told big stories Of mineral he saw
there. Out of his party of seven
men only two came out alive: that
is why he did not stay there and
make locations. Poorly armed
MeXicans have had no business
there at all, and have known it.
When Mexico and Arizona were
under the Crown of Spain, its sol
diers beat the Apaches back and
made prospecting safe. When
the great planchas of virgin silver
were found, the King decreed
that all that kind of mining
ground belonged to the Crown.
Right there all prospecting stop
ed and miners buried and conceal
ed their mines. Just such de-
crees brought on the Mexican rev.
olution in 1927; but by that time,
and since, the Apaches have been
supreme lords of the Planchas
district, until within the last year
or two. Mining is now possible
there and all the old traditions are
being verified. This editor was
down there in 1869 with Colonel
Lewis, formerly Colonel of Fifth
Cavalry Pennsylvania Volunteers,
and Californian servant. The
country is a perfect park, covered
with good grass and studded with
timber; deer and wild turkeys
were very abundant. We found
quantities of rich groupings, but
the Indians scared us out of a
years growth and we did not load
ourselves down with specimens,
nor fool away time in opening up
mines.

SILVER OF late has been coming
in from the interior Oftener and
more regularly, not merely in bags
of ore and concentrations, but in
actual bars and com. The coin is
Mexican, showing that big trade
is being done between Arizona
and Sonora. Every steamboat
brings silver bars, thelast consign-
ment being one OF twenty-SiX bars,
$50, 600, from Signal and McCrack-
in. The same day there came III
SO, IA bullion by stage. This was
cast in great bars averaging 300
pounds, to make it difficult for
highwaymen to carry them away
from the stage. This SIS, 600 worth
of silver was stacked up on the
sidewalk in front of the express
office, like adobes; bullion don't
Law around worse than that even
in the New Jerusalem. Besides
that, there were boxes and bags
of crude bullion. Wells, Fargo &
Co.'s agents give no information
about gold shipments. But, when
ever a stage is robbed, there are
always gold bars and sacks Of dust
to be identified.

Yuma Goats.

James Peck, of Mohawk, has got to
stand another little notice. It's Angora
goats this time. Some years ago he
bought lot of common goats from Frank
Clymer, and got a couple of AngOra bucks.
A pair of dogs were trained to take out,
bring back, and guard the flock; no other
expense being made. Gradually the old
stock has died off or been sold, leaving
only young goats of high-grade. The
quantity of meat that has been eaten and
sold from that little flock is incredible.
Nothing in Arizona has yielded as big re-
turns on a small investment. Meat of the
common goat is strong aud offensive; that
of the Angoras Is of flavor less pronounced
than that of mutton, and is really excel
lent, as We know by experience. The wool
of Pecks flock is now becoming source
Of profit; and to increase it, he sent to
California few months ago and brought
out 80 head more, of quarter
bred Angoras. Happy mp-Thompson
brought them out. Tue mild winters and
warm summers Of Southern Arizona just
suit these animals, TLey browse and keep
fat among rocky hills, where other animals
do not Craze Peck's experiment is valua,
bic and must induce others TO engage in
the business.

by competent experts. Their extent is
not yet fully known, but surpasses all pre-

the famous Barrancas mine, has located
some 9000-nine thOusand-acres, on every
part of which coal is found. On getting
down from the surface the coal is found in
great purity; analysis now shows ninety
