Good IEines---Ead Mails.
HACKBERRY, MOHAvE COUNTY,
September 1st, 1878.

September 1st, 1878.
EDITOR SENTINEL:-This camp only
needs one more Howell 6t Pender" mill
and roaster to make it the best in North
ern Arizona. New prospects are daily
discovered, all showing good ore Mr.
Bradshaw, formerly Of the McCrackin
mill, has lately discovered lode some
twelve feet wide, one stratum assaying
31,5S7. Experts pronounce it a splendid
prospect. The blackberry mine is turn
ing out excellent ore, from which the
mill is making 81, 200 to 81 400 in bullion
a day. We have two stores here and three
saloons, all doing well. A good hotel is
much needed and would do a fine bust
ness.
There is much complaint about the ir-
regularity of our mails. | think that much
annoyance would be saved by sending the
blackberry mail via Prescott, instead of
via Signal, as the latter route is very ir-
regular. HACKBERRY
Unfortunately, we cannot act on the
last suggestion of our correspondent, as
tie Prescott postmaster sends Mohave
mail matter back TO Ehrenberg-when he
don't forget it; and the Ehrenberg post
master sends it to Prescott whenever the
contractor dort feel like carrying it via
Signal. The Postoffice Department shuts
its eyes to Arizona

OVER $4,000 are due from the Govern
ment, for army account, to citizens, who
are to be paid by the disbursing officer at
Yuma Depot. Some brass-buttoned old
rooster must be sitting on that money,
trying TO hatch something out of 1t. If
the San Francisco and Washington papers
would only stir him off his nest, the
money might be disbursed while he was
doing his cackling.

some substantial, secret backing. The

crossing which, when completed, will be
one of the largest in the Territory.
Among other things it will contain an
extensive printing office; and it is
said the editor Of the Albuquerque
Diario, Mr.. McGinness, has been rendered
the superintsndency of it with comforta-
bic quarters for himself and family. The
object of the Jesuits in increasing their
printing facilities in Las Vegas is with the
ultcriOr purpose of keeping up a brisk
tire on the ProtestGnts and Protestant
public schools, and in such manner making
the voice of the Catholic Church heard in
New Mexico and elsewhere, that many of
the proposed Protestant reforms and
changes cannot be effected without great
difficulty, much discussion, and, probably,
bloodshed. The proposition is on foot to
establish 4 liberal educational institution
in Santa F6, and the Catholics are offset
ting this by progressing arrangements

MAILS csten come from Prescott to
Yuma in sixty hours-when they come
direct. But when they are sent by way of
Phoenix and Florence, it takes them about
six days longer to get here. For the past
month this latter route seems to have
been adopted three times out of five.
Cheap-and- nasty mail contracts are quite
bad enough, without being supplemented
by careless postmasters

4 former Sheriff Of Yuma County
shot at.

! A correspondent of the San Diego Union
writes as rollows from San Rafael, Low er
California, Sept. 5th:
About O'clock last evening as Pedro
BadIllO was passing from his place Of btlsi
ness to Il restaurant for his supper, young
Valdez, about Is years old, attempted t0
assassinate him by secreting himself be-
hind a corner and firing four shots at b.
dillo with six shooter. One shot passed
through his coat and cut the skin about
SIX inChes in length off of his back across
the shoulders; one shot went through his
hat, cutting the hair from his head, and
the other two shots missed him. Badillo
was unarmed, and not expecting an attack
from any one. l learn that the boy is the
son Of Jose Valdez, who was killed here
in the revolution by Badillo about year
sen swore that when a man he would
avenge his fathers cruel death, and when
brought before the authorities and Ques-
toned in regard to the matter, he frankly
admitted that he had said that he would
kill Mr. Badillo, and though but boy
then, when man he intended to make
Badillo atone for the death of his father.
In conversation with Mr.. Badillo to-day
he remarked that he did not blame the
boy; that he would have done the same
thing himself; though he did blame some
of his enemies who were behind the boy,
urging him on, and who were too coward
ly to face him themselves but like skulk-
ing assassins, encouraged boy with
seeming justification to commit crime
that they did not dare to undertake, even
under the cover of the night. The boy
made his escape, and has not yet been ap-
pretended, although several officers are
in search Of him.
Pedro Badillo, better known as Six
tUed Pete was the first sheriff of this
County.

The Golden star Mime and MILL.

Mr.. W. B. HellDgs, Supt. Golden Star
Mine, brought in from Cave Creek num-
Der of samples Of ore from the late rich
strike in the mine. The ore is very SINH
lar in character to the old Vulture, though
said by experts TO be much richer This
lot presents a beautiful appearance, being
plentifully besprinkled with free gold all
over the surface. 1t is on exhibition and
can be seen at the store of A. Goldman.
Mr. Hellings reports everything progress
ing favOraby with the company's mil;
be has had sixty NEIL employed working
shifts day and night. Grading of roads
and all outside work now being finished;
considerable reduction of the force will
lie made, carpenters and machinists only
being retained. With no unforeseen delay
the mill will be running by the 25th of
experimentation look out for bullion.
Mr.. Hellings informs us that when their
tramway is completed the ores can be
milleu and mined for less than S3 per ton
something almost Incredible in this
country-yet positively so. Wood only
costs IS per cord. With milling thus re-
duced to the minimum, and having thou
sands OF tons of ore in sight, with every
facility for working, the Golden Star com
pany has advantages that no other CON-
Dany has yet had in Arizona. As the
