AS MIR. Il. IL. Newton, accompanied by
friend, was returning from Sacramento
the other day, their attention was attract
ed by movement in the bushes near
the road. They thought nothing of it at
first, but the noise grew louder and the
undergrowth exhibited signs that some-
thing unusual was happening. they stop
ped their horse and determined to investi-
gate the matter. They dismounted from
their vehicle and cautiously approached
the spot from whence the sounds
emanated. They peered through the
green foliage of the willows and creeping
vines and discovered what resembled,
somewhat, a large black log. 1t was
motionless when they first observed it,
but after gazing intently upon it for a
few moments it began to exhibit signs of
life. 1t moved slowly at first; then its
movements grew more rapid, and finally
eliminated in sounds like those that had
first attracted their attention. 1, finally
rolled out into o small clearing. Then
the gentlemen discovered that the object
was nothing less than q large roll of
snakes! The reptiles were wound together,
and every portion Of the roll was hedious
with fiery and kissing noises. The two
gentlemen watched it for some time.
until they Were satisfied it was no hallu-
cination produced by Sacramento CROSS
eye; they then continued their journey
homeward, leaving the roll of kissing
reptiles to fight their own battle. This
is very singular and surprising story,
and were it not vouched for by Mr.. New
ton, would be almost beyond belief

Has already been of inesti- mable benefit to Arizona. It has reduced the cost of transportation very mate rially, and lessened the time of receiving goods at least one half, besides add ing greatly to the comfort and facility of travelling. With this record in the past, the prospect of a speedy extension of the same into the Territory is very encouraging for the future, as it will add very much to the prosperity and wealth of the whole coun- try.

The Influence of Newspapers.

A school teacher, who hes been C long time engaged in his profession and witnessed the influence of news paper upon the minds of family of children, writes as follows:
 I have found it to be universal fact, without exception, that those scholars of both sexes and of all ages who have access to newspapers at home, when compared with those who have not, are:
 1. Better readers, excellent in pro- nounciation, and consequently read more and understandingly.
 2. They are better spoilers and de- fine words with ease and accuracy.
 3. They obtain practical knowledge of geography in almost half the time it requires of others, as the newspa- pers have made them acquainted with the location of the important places, of nations, their government and do- ings on the globe.
 4. They are better grammarians for having become so familiar with every variety of style of newspapers, from the commonplace advertisement to. the finished and classical oration of the statesman; they more readily comprehend the meaning of the text and consequently analyze its con- struction with accuracy.
 ,. They write better composition, using better language, with more thought, more clearly and correctly expressed.
 6. Those young men who have for years been readers of newspapers are always taking the lead in debating societies, exhibiting a more extensive knowledge upon a greater variety of subjects and expressing their views with greater iiuency, clearness and correctness.

NINING MATTERS
Kew Companies Organized, Etc

The San Francisco StOck Report says the following companies have been organized:
 The Arizona Consolidated Mining Company, Pima county, Tucson Min ing District, Arizona. Capital, $10,. 100000. Directors: Frank Shay, c. NJ. Chase, Moritz Neisser, W. S. Bell, and w. Sternitzky.
 The Uncle Sam Mining Company, Tombstone Mining District, Pima county. Arizona. Capital, $1O,OO0,. 600. Directors; A. W. Blair, W. H. Boothe, James M. Barney, E. s. Boothe, and E. A. Trowbridge.
 From the Citizen of the 23d: We learn from Gov. Sailor q that the mill for the Tombstone mines is being constructed in San Francisco and will be completed and ready for shipping within twenty-five days. The whole of the work is under the direct super vision of MT. Richard Gird, who will examine every piece of the work and remain until it is all shipped. A saw mill will soon arrive. This enter prise is sure to prove grand success, as all connected with it are excellent, upright business men, and every one | has put his shoulder to the wheel; and the mines, at the present state of development, are the most remarka- ! ble that have ever been discovered.
 The Tucson Stdr of the Fist: Capt. B. c. MOrehOuse, who first came to Arizona in 1864 with ex-Govs. Good win and Mccormick and will be pleasantly remembered by many of our older citizens, returned to Tucson this week after an absence of several years, in the interests of San Francis co and New York mining men. He has gone on to the Santa Ritas to look after some valuable prospects ofwhich he is the owner.
 The McCrackin Mining company it rapidly perfecting arrangements for making full settlement with its cred. itors, and to resume work upon the mine. The total of it's outstanding and unpaid drafts does not exceed S60,000.
 Commissioner Williams, of the land office at Washington, has thIs to say in regard to mining claims: " l am of the opinion that the requirements of your district mining laws enforc ing the expenditure of fifty dollars on each location within the first six months of each year is not in conflict. with United States law. The issuing of a certificate that the necessary work has been performed is part of the same proposition above referred to. The requirements of the territo. rial and district laws that the claim must be recorded in both the district and county records should, manifest ly, both be complied with"

sound, there can be no doubt but thai the Senecas believed every word of it. When they were to be met with in the Niagara country, they pointed out place near the mouth of Cayuga creek where the banks were shelved out in a semi-circular form and de. clared that it had been done by the serpent, in its death throes, after hay ing been wounded by Herno's thun- derbolt. And to this tradition may be attributed their custom of putin 2 away their dead upon scafFolds above ground, instead of burying them.

The Zuni Indians have raised this season a large crop of corn, and the yield was excellent. They have also had good luck with their peach crops, the yield being large. The peach or chard of the Zunis is located on the south side of quite mountain, and the earth is composed of a peculiar white sand tkat seems to hold the moisture and keep the peach forest thrifty, and insures a good yield of fruit almost every season. Two hun dred years ago these Indians were a church going and believing people, and so continued to the present 18th century, when they dispensed with religious teachers, and turned their temple of worship into stables and goat pens. They claim to be closely related to the Americans, but disclaim all ties of kindred with the Mexicans Miner.

People who make . poor mouth
about such hard times will do we'll
to compare prices of things now with
what they we're fourteen years ago,
when everything was "lively." as they
called it. Some one has hunted up
an old wholesale price list of groce-
ries and dry goods for 1864, and COM
pares it with one for 1873. The
wholesale price of crushed sugar then
was 29cts, now lOcts; Cuba sugar was
then quoted at 2lc, now Sc /; best New
Orleans molssses then 81 so, now 4Oc !;
coffee was then marked, best ACC, now
Zoe; pork was then S45 per barrel,
while now it is only So; gold was
then $3.50, while now it is worth but
$l.O01a; prints were selling at 4Oc
then, and at &c now; delsines then
4Oc, now 1Oc; ginghams then 45c, now
sell at l8c; ticking was then worth
Toe, now 25c; balmoral skirts were
then selling for from $l.OO to $500,
and now sell from Soc to $l.OO; best
canton flannels were then worth Csc,
now lSc best bleached muslins then
sold for 55c, now sell for l21sc.-
These are some of the items given in
the price lists of the two periods, and
to persons who have not given the
matter any attention, it will be some
thing of surprise when they look
over the figures. Of course these are
wholesale figures, but the same differ
ence would exist in retail prices. 1t
is not wonder then that our farm
ers get NO more for their grain, hogs,
cattle. etc. These thinge must neces-
sarily come down in proportion to
others,-as water seeks level. The
purchasing power Of dollar IL more
than double what 1t was fourteen
years ago; people who are out of
debt need not complain at the prices,
for they effect all alike, merchant, me-
chanic and farmer.-Boone Republi-
