District Court.


 At night session of the District Court held on Saturday evening January 9th, the lien cases against the Bradshaw Basin Con- pany, were under consideration, Messrs. Howard, and Aram, Bruner & Bruner, repre- senting the lien holders, and Hon. c. A. Luxe, in the absence of his Attorney, Capt. Hargrave, appeared in person for the Con- pany Mir. Luke, although not member of the bar, was allowed to attend to his own case by sufferance, and, so far as we could observe, he got away with the baggage, for tie time being, at least at any rate Judge Tweed allowed his motion, to open the default which was entered against him, and sent the case back to the referee for further testimony, against the able and earnest pro- test of the opposing counsel. After Judge Tweed had gotten through with this case, Chief Justice French took the bench and announced his decision in the matter of an application for new trial in the Cole-Bean case denying the motion.

MINERAL PARK ITEMS.

The people of Mineral Park send greeting to the people of Prescott, and hope they have passed the holidays as happily. On Christmas the Park got full of egg-nog, which resulted in lots of cackling but no growing, good natured jollity universally prevailed. New Years eve a ball at the new Court House, at which IS or 20 laesies were present, all neatly and fashionahiy costumed, while the lads were rigged out in boiled shirts and ball harness. By the way the Court House is credit to the county.
 The Blackberry mine looks, oh--way up no use talking. Blackberry is "boss,n and just as soon as the new mill is done she will prove it to everybody.
 The Mineral Park mill is running, and seems to be making money, for her owners, at least. The miners complain of having to par $50 per ton for working. A good ten- sts np custom mill is needed.
 The District Attorney of Mohave County will soon be after delinquents on the tax roll, with sharp stick. He is sharpening his stick now

WRoSo.-Complaints are continually be- ing made against certain person who has the handling of the U. s. Mails at Dos Palms, which, if true are wrong, and should be stopped, It is said that the mail bags go through a jamming and pounding pro cess whereby, if anything happens to be in the bags in the shape of merchandise or parcels allowed to pass by law, they are broken, and of course arrive in worthless condition. It is said that the reason for so roughly handling mail matter is for the purpose of deterring the public from send ing packages through the mails. So long as the government regonizes the right, and until Congress repeals the present law allowing the transmission of packages not weighing over Abs, the rights of persons in this particular business should be respected.

SCHOOL MATTERS.

The most perfect machinery is liable to bt broken by the introduction of wheel that doesn't fit, or the dropping of clog in among its we'll arranged pinions. 4 healthy stomach will revolt, and cease to properly digest even farinaceous food if poisonous or rebellious matter be introduced.
 Ores refuse to yield to ordinary treatment when refractory substances are present Medicines fail to act on a system impreg- mated with the effects of malaria or other malignant contageon. Society, itself, is dis organized, often, by the presence of one or two Donconfcrmists. Mining companies, with rich mines and every prospect of a speedy fortune, can, and do, frequently. fritter away their earnings in disagreements, disorganizstion and lawsuits.
 The moral of all this is, that "In Union There is Strength - or "United we Stand, Divided we Fall,- and the lesson should not be lost sight of by those interested in the education of the rising generation.
 The Trustees of this School District have given their time and labor without fee or re- ward, or the hope or promise of any reuIu- neration, except consciousness of having been of service to those who are to come af- tcF us. allu tdke our piaceS III me DuSlneSS and social affairs of life, in organizing a graded school; one which should be supe rior in every respect to anything of the kind in this or any of the adjoining teFrito- rics, and which should render Prescott pc culiarly attractive place for families to set tie and educate their children.
 These efforts have been heartily seconded by the people and by the teachers, until, at last, point has been reached, when a graded school has been established with a High School Department, an additional teacher, etc, when in an evIl hour, a clog has been attempted to be dropped into the machinery by division of the district at this most inopportune moment The petition seems to have been hastily acted upon by the Board of Supervisors, and granted with out the knowledge of large L..mber of property holders, parents and people inter- ested, who live west of Granite street, the proposed line.
 A petition asking the Board to modify the order was presented this morning, and that body accordingly changed the west line of District No. 1 from Granite street to the west line of the village corpoation which was the right thing to do.

William Muller, pronounced "Meeler," a carpenter, who has been employed for some time on the addition being built to Rai- ble's brewery, has teen prostrated for seve- ral days, with what was believed to be a severe cold. He continued to grow worse until his friends became alarmed, about the middle of last week, but yesterday, (Sun- day), he revived, and hopes were entertain ed that he would soon recover. This morn ing, however, he was again worse, his ex. tremities were cold, and it was thought he could not live throughout the day. He is still very low and may be expected to breathe his last at any moment.
