 The usual Saturday auction at the store of J. l.. Fisher & Co, did not come of, to-day, owing to the scarcity of people in town. Rather singular that the town should be empty on Saturday, and that, too, when the unterrifed were called upon to meet by & few hungry hangers-on of ihe Democratic party. The whale refuses to bite at the bait of the minnow.
 MUsH.-The fiattest, stinsipid, inoder- ous, vapid, tasteless, and entirely harmless attempt at witty composition we have ever been capped into reading, was published in the Enterprise, Thursday afternoon, under the caption Telephony without 2 word of apology from the Editor, for inflicting such mass of trash on his readers.
 Had he explained that tue author was a simpleton to whom he was under obliga- lions for menial services performed, and that on that account he could not we'll de- cline his contribution, it would have been some relief, but tc set 1t before the public without word of warning as to its sayor. less character was an outrage.
 PEEKLEss.-Messrs. Myers and Hubbard have been prospecting on Turkey Creek, and decided to ssplantn on the Peerless mine. Mfr. Myers has taken bond from the owners, and they are going to work to take out rock and prospect the ground imme- diatsly. The ore taken out will be worked at Mastcrson's mill, and in the meantime sinking will continue. Mir. Hubbard, who is practical miner, has been foreman of the Peck, and is familiar with Baarly every prominent mining location in Tiger, Peck, Humbug. Turkey Creek and Hassayampa districts. thinks the Peerless about the best prospect for valuable mine that he has seen. outside of those that are already de- yeloped ard beng successfully worked. The Peerless is situated near Pat Hamil- tons location.
 DzxocRATs.-The Yavapai County Demo cratic Committee met to-day, at the office of Paul Weber, good Republican, for the purpose of testing the feasibility of effect inr an organization throughout the Terri tory. We arc satisfied that those who met are convinced that the meeting was a failure, and that an organization of the party will be out of the question this year. favapai demands it as her right to send a Delegate to the next Congress, and none savc man who comes out on the Independ- ent platform can be elected. The people will hardly throw away the opportunity of securing the next Delegate just to graiify tf,e personal desires of any one man. Should the Democrats, however, by any hook or srosk, effect an organization in the County whereby their strength may be tested. after having found out that they are so far in the viii undoubtedly be more anxious to disorganize than they are to split out from their friends who have done much for the Territory, in fact nearly all, for so many long years.
