Items from Yuma Sentinel.

Mail matters are growing worse, reference being particularly made to Mohave county. The Sentinel has ceased to rely upon special agents and lays complaints straight before Post master General Key.
 Letters received from various parts of the Territory almost demand that Judge Porter shall be a candidate for the office of Delegate to Congress.
 The Ajo Copper mines, south of Gila Bend, are attracting attention again. Dr. Decorse has just brought in samples of copper from there which are rich in silver and gold. Several persons are now at work there.
 The c. s. N. Co.,, only charged nine dollars for the use of the steamboat Colorado, for the school children's picnic. That barely paid cost of wood consumed.
 Griffith goes to Glla Bend, as he says, to meet the new mail contractor, Col. J. T. Chidester.
 Messrs. David Balsz and c. A. Rlng wald have been appointed Supervisors of Yuma county to fill vacancies caus- ed by resignations of Messrs. Grow and Lyons.

It's value is immense, some parties placing the lot as high as $lOO0OO.

LOOIL MATTERS.

MIR. JOSIAH FLoURNoY, principal owner or the Hannibal Mine. returned from the east on the l2th instant. During his ab. sence he purchased hoisting and draining machinery and intends to sink the sbaft on the Hannibal to depth of four hun. dred feet. The machinery will arrive in the course or thirty days, when the work VIII be prosecuted under the able man. aeement or Charley McBIilien as super. llntendent. The Hannibal mine was In- corporated last January by MT. Flournoy Co., owners, and owing to the depressed state of affairs in California, none of the stock was offered for sale, although there aie several parties in California anxions 10 become interested in the mine. The most promising feature about the Hanni- bal Company is that there has been m aq- sessments levied for the deveIopment or working of the mine. MT. Flournov has expended the sum Of sl2,OOO up to date in improvements on the property, and dur Ing the time he was east he raised the fur tner sum of s5O,OOO, every cent Of which Is to be expended in developing the mine
 With the large amount of working capi- tai at the disposal of Mir. Flournoy, com bined with the experience and luck of Charley, it is but reasonable to suppose that success will follow. A few more men .ot Flounoy's sort in Globe and there would be no occason to cry hard times.

False Economy.

< late Washington dispatch says: The House of Representatives have cut the force in the Land Office down to 1Gl clerks. In 1855 there were 1S4 clerks. The work is much greater than it was at that time, comprising 300 land grants to railroads, canals, and States, bounty land grants to sol diers of the late Wag, grants for agri- cultural colleges, besides business per taining to settlers on public lands. The clerical force being too small, the office is now nine months behind in its correspondence, and four years in the patenting of public lands.

MIR. H. L. HART, ex-Indian Agent at San Carlos, and Mir. E. P. Ferry came in on Wednesday and left the following morn- ing for Tucson, intending to return home via Camp Grant. Reports from the agency are quite satisfactory. The Indians are industrious, contented and seemingly happy, fourteen miles Of new ditch have been taken out and by another season these Indians must be quite nearly self supporting. Inspector Watkins and MT. Ferry, await the arrival or the newly ap- pointed Agent L. P. Cummings. We very much regret that circumstances denied us the pleasure of their society during their prolonged stay.
